"Is It permanent ! " This U n question
tvblch ovcr.v man In Washington U just now
asking ol those ho moots , the reference , of
.course , being to the great republican vic
tories won at the foils on Tuesday , the
7th Inst.
To the tlcmoctats the serious feature of
llio recent republican landslide Is the foot
that Ilmlctorlci were won upon general
isvics niul niter the most innturo delibera
tion There Is not nu Intelligent democrat
In NVnuhlnirton who will cucrclsu the
effrontery to claim In private conversation
tlmt Ihcro was anything local lii the tones ,
or that tlm victories were iron by the ex
penditure of money or fraud. For the llrst
time In many years these claims are not
made. The democrats huro from e\ory sec
tion of the country frankly admit thnt they
wcro whipped , und they nay ttioy were
whipped In a fair light anil on the highest
plane.
Conceding th.it the Issues were general ,
the voters nctcd without any misunder
standing or misapprehension and that the
commercial distress und a fear tluit the tar
iff revision promised by the majority In con-
Kress and President Cleveland caused the
ohnngo in political conditions , the question
nrlsci In the minds of intelligent democrats
In congress ( ilirrtfnro democrats In congress
vrho am neither intelligent nor honest with
themselves ) : -'Hovv nro the conditions
winch existed on the recent election day to
bo nmdo more satisfactory before the
munldul | elections next Rpriiig and the
Btnto mill congressional elections nuxt
November ? ' '
A * to I'ninrp Legislation.
It U next to a physical impossibility for
the democrats to put the now tariff bill Into
effect , If , indued , they ran pass It into law ,
before the November elections in IK'.U. It Is
now the Intention to pass In the hotiso cer
tain genor.ll legislation bcfora thu tariff bill
is taken into consideration. The dolloicncy
in the treasury and the banking and cur
rency problems must bo disposed of before
the long and tedious debate upon the now
tariff bill can bo begun. It will create no
surprise Ucru if the tariff bill Is not mailu
public before the holidays ; It will ho an ab
solute surprise If the measure Is taUcn up
for consideration in the house before the bn-
plnnlni' of the now year. This anticipates a
delay upon its consideration in the senate
until the middle of next summer.
There nro leading democrats In the house
And siiimto who go so far as to Intimate thnt
the tariff bill will not become a law before
* the general elections next year. Tt Is well
known that oven should the 1)111 ) bo signed uy
the president before the next general elec
tion It will not go Into effect before January ,
There is no intelligent statesman or busi
ness man who believes that the industrial
interests will revlvo before President Clove-
tland signs Uio now tarifl bill or it is known
positively that the measureis defeated by
the minority in the sonato. It is this fact ,
this condilion.'nndnot theories , thnt troubles
the minus of democrats in congress who
will como before tholr constituencies for re
trial next year. They nro cognizant that
the conditions will not materially change
from the present before another general
election wilt como around and they know
what the result will bo when men out of
work and these representing mined Inter-
. sts go to the noils.
Crutntle UevUlou.
It would not bo surprising if Senator Pal
mar of Illinois joined wltn Senator Voorhces
in a crusade against the pension system of
the administration whbn congress rcas-
uomblcs. General Palmer was an earnest
supporter of the original plan of Inequitable
revision of the pension rolls , but ho has been
surprised : md made not. a little indignant at
tno tuannorof the execution of revision. For
the last six months ho has kept one of his
committee clerks , Mr. Johnson , constantly
employed in looking after the interests-
the old soldiers.
Johnson's labors nro continued 'during the
present recess and he puts in his days
tramping the corridors of the pension
bureau trying to secure the rulnstatomcnt
of Illinois pensioners who have been sus
pended from the rolls. The other day a
Grand Army post at Chicago wrote to
Senator Palmer thatono of Us comrades ,
who had served for thieo years , participat
ing in twelve engagements and now suffer
ing frora wounds contracted in the service
which entirely incapacitated him for work ,
had gone to the pension agent in Chicago
for his quarterly check and had received
instead a notice that ho was summarily sus
pended. Ko notice of suspension had been
plvon. It was announced at the pension
bureau two months ago that no further sus
pensions would ho made without ninety
days uotlco.
Koornnil llio Old Soldier.
Johnson took the case to the bureau to see
what was the trouble. Ha applied to the
chief of division In chnrgo of the case and
v ss curtly told tlmt thijso inquiries as to
suspensions were a nuisance. Ho glanced at
thu letter from the Uranll Army post nt Chicago
cage and throw it buck td Johnson i\illi the
suggestion that his tltno was too valuable to
decipher such Illiterate productions. Ho
added that no suspension had been made In
the caso.
Johnson was hot and responded that the
letter was plain enough Anglo-Saxon for any
Intelligent man to roud. Ho asserted ulso
that the suspension had been nmdo , as
proved by tto circumstantial details of the
tetter. Then the official declared the case
was not in his division. Johnson cornered
him , however , and tlnally succeeded in
having the flics of thu case produced. Then
the official plunceu over the mass of papers
and insisted that no suspension hud been
inndo. John.ioti stuck to his point and at
lust pointed out In oiu of the stray papers
that the suspension had been mado. The
cause of it could not ba learned , as the oDl-
olul insolently stated that ho would deal
directly with the party and would write to
him before long. Johnson's inquiries were
inado in the nauio of Somitor Palmer and on
ono of the inquiry blanks furnished to sena
tors ,
Olio at .Many Cunt * * .
This experience is ono of the many in the
atiio line which show In what an arbitrary
and high-handed manner the suspension
policy is oxecutcd. Thcro is , another point
In the pension business on nliich Bnnator
Palmer is llitely to utter sonio burning re
marks very soon. He is chalrmnn of the
enato committee on pensions and yet ho has
never been able to hold a meeting of his
committee.
At drat ho thought it must bo oversight oil
the part of thn democratic members of tlio
caintnltluo that they failed to respond to his
notices of mootlugs each TuesdayHo oven
resented the suggestion that his domocrutlo
associates would block all pension bills
by not attending meetings and thus
holding , Uio bills In abeyance. Little by
little , however , ho has grown suspicious and
Indignant. Those who are pretty familiar
wilu the senator's plans would not bo sur
prised to see him rise In the senuto when it
oomos together and rebuke those who nro
making the pension committee Impotent.
It is suggested also tlmt if General palmer
ouco gets aroused on thu subject hu will bo

pension committee ruther than servo as a

WAsiusnTOS , No.v. 14. The new demo
cratic tariff bill will probably bo made pubi
lie at a much earlier data than has been
supposed. The notes of apprehension that
have boon sounded slnco the late election
have warned the resolute tariff reformers of
the party that the chances of party success ,
and discipline depend upon boldness and
promptitude in dcllnlng a policy , and all
haste consistent with deliberation is being
tnodo by the democratic members to complete -
ploto the bill nnd glvo It to the country.
It Is already definitely settled thnt the
committee will not wait for the approval of
a caucus bo fora presenting the measure to
the people. While sonic of the democratic
members think that the bill might bo
strengthened In the house by first gaining
the approval of the party caucus the major
ity feel that the submission of the bill to a
caucus would only load to interminable
wrangling and possibly create a party dis
sension which might seriously ombarr.iss
the measure in Its consideration later In the
house.
Besides , the democratic leaders contend
that the party has sufficient conlldenco In
its members on the ways nnd moans commit
tee to bo qulto willing to accept as satisfac
tory the bill prepared by them nftor so
many WCCKS of deliberation , nnd thnt the
ropon accompanying it will bo of a charac
ter strong enough to silence the fastidious
criticism within the party.
While Mr. Bland of Missouri , Mr. Culbcr-
sonof Texas and others have openly an
nounced their intention of opposing the
free wool schedule on thu lloor of thu house ,
they have apparently abandoned any hope
of securing a party caucus on the tariff bill
previous to Its Introduction.
Oitrstlon ( if Caucu * .
In discussing the matter , Mr. Culberson
said : "I have always maintained that the
tariff bill should ba llrst considered by a
democratic caucus , nnd I still think tills
shothd b'j done , but 1 do not sea how we can
hope to haVd it donu before it Is introduced.
In the llrst place there was n rule passed
just beforu adjournment which gave the
committee the right to hand the bill to the
clerk and have It printed as Introduced nny
time. No onu paid much attention to that
action at the time , but wo now realize that
it Rlvos the commit tec the privilege of
formally introducing the bill , oven before
the regular session convenes , the only re
striction being that the republican members
of the committee shall have ten days in
which to prepare a minority report. Tills
rule , of course , cuts off all hope of having a
caucus before the introduction of tbo bill ,
and I do not sco that wu can do anything to
help 1C. Whatever objections democratic
members may have to the bill will have to
bo expressed In tlm open house , though I
bellevo the proper placeto tlrst uir party
grievances should bo in a caucus. "
Working : by Subcommittees.
The ways and means committee , or at
least the democratic members of it , are do
ing all the work in subcommittees and tbo
bill is so rapidly Hearing completion that a
large portion of the report to accompany tbo
measure on its presentation to the nouso Is
already prepared. Each subcommittee as it
completes the work on the schedules re
ferred to It for revision prepares the com
mittee report on these schedules , and , al
though this work is hold to bo reviewed by
the full'dcmocratic membership of the com
mittee. It is likely that but few changes will
bo made. While it is literally true taut not
a single schedule has been tlnally passed
upon by the full committee , it is none' the
less true that the entire bill , subdivided as
it was among subcommittees , is now nearly
completed. While it is generally accepted
thnt wool , coal , iron ore , lumber and salt are
to bo added to the free list , as well as vari
ous other minor articles , Chairman Wilson
und his colleagues have pursued the prudent
policy of keeping the details of the
reductions on manufactured articles a closu
secret from the public. In this way ,
although it is practically certain that the
tariff bill in its .entirety will bo announced
to the public in ton days or two weeks , the
details will not DO generally known until
after its publication. After the subcom
mittees have completed their labors the en
tire bill will bo reviewed by the democratic
membership , and as soon as tinally approved
will bo handed to the clerk of the house and
ntonco announced to the public as intro
duced.
The protests against the free list are still
coming in , the most emphatic ones being
from the iron ere and the coal men. A tele
gram IIHS been received from Alabama
people who desire to bp heard. Chainran
Wilson and his colleagues have consented to
pivo an informal hearing to those gentlemen
any tune this week. This delegation will In
clude a committee from the iron nnd coal in
terests of Birmingham , the chief manu
facturing city of the south , nnd it Is uroba-
blo that Senator Pugh and Congressman
Wheeler will ulso accompany the delegation.
\\hUUjr Men' * I'rottstn.
llio protests of the whisky men do not
seem to bo attracting much attention.
Congressman Montgomery of Kontucity , the
great whisky producing slate , Js a member
of the committee on ways and means , and
ho says : "I think that In niv state the ob
jection in raising the whisity tax is coming
from the distillers rather than the con
sumers. Even the distillers nrcuiot making
much of a protest , though , of course , they
would prefer not to have the tax Increased. "
The consumers are not making any objec
tions nnd if they do so at all they probably
will not until after thu law is passed. Ono
of the hitches which have occurred in mak
ing the tariff bill and which have not yet
been settled is tha disiosition | of the sugar
schedule. It is said that as tbo bill now
stands it removes the bounty and docs not
restore any duty whatever. The opponents
of this plan have pointed out that such a bill
wllluortainly cause the lossof the support by
the majority of thu Louisiana delegation In
thu house , and the bill would also bo en
dangered by reason of the withdrawal of
support by the Louisiana senators
when the bill coached the sanuto. A mem
ber ot the majority of thu commltteu on
ways nnd menus mis suggested this to the
other members but received n reply that the
bill cannot b made to suit all sections.
Another rumor is in circulation In the
shape of a statement attributed to Chair
man Wilson that he would llko to sen a bill
framed which would ninko the pension ap
propriations payable by the Internal ravonnu
taia's nnd that thcro should bo nn Increasu
in the internal taxes to meet the pension or.
pqndtuircs. This suggestion , and In fact all
suggestions that point to an increase in
internal revenue tuxes , meets with a great
deal of opposition , particularly from the
south , from which the wuysand means com-
mltteo expects to got the necessary votes to
pass the bill. _

which the cabinet was In session. By the in

case has assumed an interesting und inter

ler as to whether or not the men are polit

LINCOLN , Nov. 14. [ Special to Tnu BKE. ]
The Hubbard trial is ended , nnd the ox-
farm boss ot the State Asylum
for the Insane is n free man
by a verdict of twelve men , who ,
it is presumed , listened to all the evidence
In the caso. When the case wont to the
jury last night It was generally bclloved that
the verdict would bo guilty. The attorneys
for the state wore positive. The defense
had made but little effort to do more than
establish the previous good character of the
prisoner. A few hours later the Jury returned -
turned a verdict of not guilty.
County Attorney Wood want expressed no
little surprise over the verdict nnd so do a
creat many people who have kept a close
watch upon the trial. The evidence was to
all Intents and purposes convincing. It was
proven that Ilubtnrd had purchased bcof
cattle for the asylum , that ho had paid for
it with his personal cticclc , took the voucher
to the State Board of Public Lands nnd
Buildings after it had boon signed In blank
by the man selling the cattle and tilled In
with the Increased amount charged the
tato. The ovldcncu showed that Hubbard
md collected the. money from the slate ,
vcn signing another man's name to thn war-
ant. On the other liana the defense offered
10 testimony to prove that the stutu had not
cade its rase. It simply made an ostcnta-
lous defense nnd trusted to luck. Luck was
vith the defense.
SeiTcIl Now on Trial.
The county attorney is evidently not dls-
ouragcd at the several failures of justice to
connect with the asylum boodlors and this
naming he commenced the trial of W. D.
Sovvell , another asylum contractor. The
charges against Sowoll are very similar to
hose against John Dorgan , who was re-
eutly acquitted of any Intention to defraud
he state on the coal contracts. Sowoll was
iwnrded the contract for furnishing flour to
ho asylum for thu months of January , Fob-
uary. March , April , May , Juno , October ,
November and December. IbOl , und for Janu-
iry , February and .March of 189'J. The in-
estimation of the grand jury revealed the
act that ho presented vouchers for nnd col-
octcd pay for n great deal more Hour than
10 actually delivered. Ho Is defended by
Vttornoys Courtney , Opponholmerand Ham-
Iton of , thls city. The day has been spout

Fifteen of the clerks employed by the
Pacific Express company In this city re
ceived uoticu yesterday that their services
would bo dispensed with after December I.
This wholesale" out following close upon u
decided reduction in salaries caused no
little consternation among the employes of
the company. The mou whoso resignations
wcro called for arc nearly all clerks of the
middle class , at salaries ranging from 140 to
S100 uer month.
These who have not taken their summer
vacations will bo allowed to quit nt once and
draw their salaries for the present month ,
while the .others will bc-retalned until De
cember 1.
The reduction in the ofllco force has been
in contemplation for some time , it was n
question some months uco whether ex
penses should be lessoned by a reduction of
salaries or by discharging a part of the
force. The former coin-so was adopted , und
the clerks who had been ' shivering in their
shoos" believed the danger was over. Con
sequently the action of yesterday was In
the nature of n surprise party to the vic
tims. It is believed by some of the men
that the swing of the ax is preliminary to
restoring the salaries of those who remain
to the old ilgures.
