Swuron Casusi.s has been as real-
oaa aad as faithful an advocate of tariff
reform, a tariff for reveaue for the
actual needs aad necessities of the gov
sraumat, as Mr. McKinley bat been for a
protective tariff for the sake of a favored
few. I lean interview the other day the
distinguished senator said that In his
opinion it would ba “exceedingly bad
policy to permit tbe silver question to
hcoowi a paramount oos in 1802.” He
. said that it Was a question upon which
there are ho neat differences of opinion
ia the democratic party, while there are
other questions of equal or greater !m
pbrtaoce upon which the democrats are
thoroughly united. In his judgment it
wopldbe wiser to concentrate the whole
i strength instead of dividing
TB1 NEXT PRESIDENT.
. "Who will be the next president of
the United States r
A prominent democrat of Americas,
who has long held such position as to
make him a good observer of the drift
ot events, says that he will be Reland
Stanford of California.
“The democrats,” said be, “will not
nominate Cleveland, because of tbe fear
that ha cannot cany New York, but will
put up Fill, or some other compromise
man, who can’t carry Connecticut, New
Jersey, Indiana and other close states,
and will, therefore, fall to elect their
"The republicans have had enough of
Harrison and will fear to nominate
Blaine, because the same causes that de
feated him in 1885 may do so again.
"Inland Stanford is a man of ability,
worth one hundred millions, and has a
.. jpod record, is acceptable to the repub
lican sIHsneeaean because of bis favor
able position on silver, tbe tariff and
the aab-traasury bill, and can carry
SISTER-LN-LAWS PENSION.
The democrats of tbe country, and
probably some of the republicans also,
have been perplexed to understand why
the president should allow himself to be
scandalized by the retention in office of
that marvel of official crookedness,
Green B. Baum, commissioner of pen
sions. For a year or so the count, y has
been hearing of the dishonorable end
dishonest methods employed by him and
bis sons for increasing their incomes
from tbe government service, and the
wonder baa grown that they were not
dismissed from the service long ago—
and the impression has gained ground
that there must be some special con
sideration that causes tbe president to
stand by the Raums through all this
evil report.
Public cariosity regarding this mat
ter is at last relieved by the discovery
that Raum has been engineering a hand
some job through his office for President
Harrison, the special beneficiary being
the president's sister-in-law. It was an
old and worthless claim which had been
urged on successive administrations
without avail for twenty yean past.
When Mrs Harrison's brother-in-law be
came president tbe prospects of the
claim were of coarse greatly improved.
It only needed an unscrupulous man for
commissioner to insure the allowance of
the claim. No matter what the merits
of tbe claim might be, be would allow
it And of course foch a man would do
many other things of a dishonest na
ture, and a few of them happened to
leak out and set tbe people to talking.
The president and his sister-in-law
must feel under lasting obligation to
Commissioner Raum for allowing this
claim, for it secures to the lady the neat
sum of $8,239.92 in cash and an income
of $33 per month daring the remainder
of her life. And what was the nature
of her claim? Why, in 1809, five years
after the close of tbe war, her husband
died of consumption, and, as he had
served in the army, the wtdow conclud
ed the ought to hare a pension.
Twelve years having passed without her
obtaining any favorable notice of the
claim, she concluded to strengthen it by
maintaining that her husband’s disease
was contracted while in tbe army.
With this pretense and all of General
Harrison's influence nothing could he
done with the claim until Ilarrison aa
president, by the aid of hia tool, Raum,
pushed it through.
This is but a sample of the manner in
whieh the tax-payers’ money is being
squandered by the government. Almost
any man from tbe north will admit that
a small army of able-bodied men Is sup
ported in idleness by the nation, being
assured of incomes sufficient to support
them during the remainder of their
lives. The abuses under the system are
of tbe most shameless description. But
it all serves tbe grand purpose of neces
sitating high tariff taxes and insuring to
the manufacturers protection.
The people cannot resist these extor
tions, bat they can punish such cases of
Individual rascality as Mrs. Harrison'
pension represents. Tbe president hss
caused hundreds of thousands of dollare
to be put ia tbe dockets of his relatives,
mainly In fat salaries. But the people
will see to it that the Harrisons’ salaries
are cut off early In 1803.

The public will be glad to note in this

of the finance committee promised yes
terday, as ij not only gives some infor
mation to which the public is entitled,
bnt promises that a full exhibit will
soon be forthcoming of other matters of
interest.
There has been so much said pro and
con of late on tbe subject, that it will be
pleasant news to see some evidences of
the activity of tbe city's officials in pre- ;
tenting to the people an account of their ■
stewardship, so that the tar payers;
may have au opportunity to judj, from j
their own observation rather tha hear-j

showing just why the water works have
not been a source of revenue, but instead
au expense to tbe city.
Tbe more thoroughly all these sub
jects are ventilated and discussed, tbe
better for tbe public for it is only in this
way that sources of waste are discover
ed and economical methods inaugurated.
Every effort should be made to aid in
getting at tbe bottom facts in connec
tion with all the city's affairs, not for
the purpose of putting blame upon any
body for past shortcomings; but to
bring about a thorough knowledge on
part of tbe poople of all the questions
relating to the city’s revenues and ex
penses, so that tbe-proper methods may
be set on foot by the taxpayers and vo
ters to increase revenues aud cut down
expenses.
Now that tbe first installment has
been given, the public will await with
interest further news from the officials
of the city.

Tha following extracts from the ad
dress of Gen. John B. Henderson, de
livered before the graduates of tbe
Columbia law school, are taken from the
SL Louis Dispatch. They are solid
truths for men, young and old:
“When I see the briefless lawyer abus
ing the courts rod the judgee; the un
successful physician condemning the
world for its want of appreciation; when
I see the mechanic spending his sub
stance In the dramshop and clamoring
for socialism as a relief from the Ilia of
life; when I see the thriftless farmer
leaning upon the government instead of
hie plow for support, aud the workman
wasting his time In organising against
capital because It la not his own, and all
of them complaining that tbe world Is
nnkind, tbe words of Cassius to his
friend come vividly to my mind:
Tbe Ihult, ilesr Brutus, Is not Incur sure,
But In ouiatlves, that we are underline*'
“There Is a sound, wholesome lesson
In this paragraph for young men and wo
men who are leaving tbe schools to en
ter upon their life work, Tbe rules that
spplled In tbelr educational competition
apply in tbe wider anil more serious
competition in the outside world. The
rewards go to tbe earnest and persist
ent toilers, not to the discontented
idlers and grumblers. Complaining of
the better advantages and opportunities
of others will not bring a single advan
tage or opportunity to tbe complainant,
whereas striving to Improve those one
has may do so.
“There is discipline In patience and
opportunity in waiting. The briefless
lawyer lias tlmo to prepare himself tbe
better for bis work when briefs come,
and tbe pstientless physician can employ
hla waiting period laying a firmer foun
dation for success In treating the pa
dents that he will get In the future.

men, but it Is an aid and not a substi
