Will Nut llulso the Tax. Tonight it was decided by the democratic members of the way.'f and means committee to not put an additional tax on whisky. This action was brought about by Secretary Carlisle , who lias opposed any increase from the start. Nrlmmlm I.IIIH ! OltU-os. Kcprrscntattvq Melhlojolm called upon Sec retary Holto Smith and the eonunlsbioncr of the ceneral land ofllco today for the purpose of le.iriiint , ' , if possible , the final determina tion of the questions which arose in con nection with the consolidation of certain land ofllco districts in Nebraska , especially respecting tlio protest which was made against the transfer of the Clmdron district to Alliance. After interviewing the secre tary of tlio interior nnd the land commis sioner , Mr. Meiklejohn said to THE Ucu cor respondent : ' There Is no question in my mind about the transfer of the Grand Island district to Lincoln , XeligH to O'Neill. IMoomington to McCook andChadron to Alliance , as fixed In lite proclamation of September 11 last. Both the secretary of the Interior and the com missioner of the general land ofllee gave mete to understand that they did not contemplate any change in thcso consolidations and I suppose the light over the Chad ran problem will be a failure. " Incidentally Mr. Mellclcjohn talked to the secretary of the interior and the commis sioner of the land onico about changes In the Nebraska land ofllco. Ho was given to understand that with probably one excep tion all eflloicnt ottlcers will bo permitted to " serve out their commissions. The exception is in the North Platte ofllee , where , it will be remembered , when HoRlster Ncsbltt was Incapacitated. Kocoivcr Baldwin was made register and Mr. Woodhurst was appointed receiver on February 11 , 1803. These two onicei'8 , it was stated , will bo shortly re tired and democrats put In their places. The matter of tilling tlio Nebraska land ofllces with democrats is to bo taken up within the next ten dajs or two weeks. Air. fiittownnil on Knoy Street. Mr. A.

Ho was given to understand that his endorsements were Htrong , nnd that ho had nmtlo a favorable impression at the Interior department. Mr. Gatowood believes that ho will get the place lioscolo.

Dcmocrnt- the Wnyi iinil Meting Com- inlcteu Milking u l' w Correct Ions , WASiiiXfi'iox , Dec. . The democratic members of the ways and means committee wcra In session thrco hours this afternoon reviewing the tariff bill , correcting typo graphical errors and other incongruities , The bubcommlttco on Internal revenue reported that Its labors were not yet com plete. , nnd that It would bo impossible to reach Its schedules before some time next week , the chief difllculty under which the commlttco labors being the Impossibility of llxlntf rates of taxation until the re-venue estimates under the now bill arc so far corn- Dieted ns to indicate ttio probable deficit under its operations , The democratic mumburs did' not enter into the linal discussion of the Income tax iiucbtbu as was anticipated , the chief reason being because of the absence of Mr , Coclcran , It was thought best that no conclusion should bo reached In the absence of any democratic member , as the committee is nearly divided on bomo phases of the propo- fcltlon , The uncertainty as to the amount of thu deficit under the now bill uud the possl < bio dtftU'iilty of meeting this deficit has Kivcn risaafrain to thodiecusslon as to the wisdom of making the Income tax Konornl In character and applicable to all Individual in comes in excess of tf.GOO per annum , Instead of restricted to corporations and successions only. So that nt this time the income tux plan Is still In a very Indefinite condition , Why the Ail Valorem Duty \Vui Adopted. An argument has been provoked by au thority of thu ways and means committee , showing from a democratic standpoint the necessity of the. changes effected by the now administrative bill Just reported by Chair man \Yllson and his colleagues. This argu ment gives a full explanation of the reasons why the comuiitteo in Its recant tariff bill abandoned the specific duty In so many cases in favor of an ad valorem duty. The democratic party , this circular contends - tends , Is charged with grave responsibility of effecting a comiileto revision of tlio exist ing customs tariff , 10 the end that the burdens at taxation , tendered heavier bv the McKlnley bill , may be Hphtencd. The McKiuloy bill was not the only legislation of the Fifty-llrst congress which tauscd dis satisfaction among merchants and Importers. The past-age of the customs administra tive act , Involving ns U did an entirely liow departure In customs administration , caused in the mercantile world , temporarily at least , as great or greater annoyance- than did even tbn McKinluy bill. Croat pressure will bo brought to bear to sec nro its repeal , 08 well us that of lu twin lster. Such a V- move would receive support from many me r- chants , regardless of their political afllila. tlons. ItndlcHl lleilitctloim linptrntlve. Continuing1 , the circular savs : "At the present day the proper administration nnd interpretation ot the customs laws becomes politically of the most vital Importance to the doinocr.illc .varty , lladlcal tariff reduc tions are Imperative ; but an tmormous reve nue , nt least J' > ( XOC,0X ) ( ) ( ) yearly , must still bo raised through the tariff for the support of the government. It In plain upon reflection that this vast amount can only bo collected by n rigid Interpretation and administration of any now law which Is to be subntltuted for the existing tariff. The effect of specific duties Is alnlost coinnletely to stop the im portation of lowcu grades of goods , which nro used In by far the greater quantities ; thus much revenue Is lost and the cost to the masses unduly Increased : Ibis effect is seen uuon all goods upon which the specific duties nro levied. "Ad valorem duties , levied on the value of the imported goods , nvo the fairest , most equitable kinds of duties , the rate Is abso lutely the same on all tirades of goods of the same kind , tint the dUadvaut.tco of such duties Is that they offer a great temptation to Importers to undcrrnluo goods on enter ing them In our ports. An n result , many Koods got into the country at lower rates than nro legally duo , thus discriminating against merchants who pay full dutiable rates. The tiollcy ot the democratic party , when In pouor , from earliest times has been to substitute ad valorem for specific duties. This was shown lu the celebrated Walker tariff of ISM. which consisted entirely of ad valorem duties ; this same tendency is shown In the Springer wool bill passed by the tiouso of representatives , which placed wool on the free list , changing thu duty ou wool from wholly specific to a.l valorem. " Drfccts f tlio 1'ro'cnt l.nw. The following are pointed out as the prin cipal dufivts of the present customs admin istrative act : The right of trial by jurv upon questions of fact , arising upon tlio question of classifi cation , has been taken away from the im- portois. The f-overmnrnt Is allowed to appeal from an.v decision of the circuit court to the cir cuit court of appeals , whllo the Importer ran only appeal provided the circuit court thinks the question Involved is of sufilcicnt Importance to warrant an appeal. The existing law levies duties upon the value of all cr.ites , sncks and coverings and buxci in which the Imported goods are stored , thus tncrcaslni ! the total duty levied. In case the value as determined by the appraisers exceeds tiu value entered by the importer by more than 10 per cent a penal duty of - per rent ou the appraised value , In addition to the corrected legal duty , Is levied for cvory 1 per cent that such ap praised value exceeds the value declared at entry. Tlio Importer Is now allowed the right to bo present at the hearing before tlio board of general appraisers upon questions of classification. If judgment Is rendered by the courts in favor of thn importer upon an appeal , the excess of duties is refunded to him without allow unco of interest or costs. Uho present law repeals all damage allow ance upoji goods in transit. . .Most of the above objections are removed by tbo new ad ministrativo act prepared by the democrats , and the oflleiul report accom panying the bill will contain exhaustive arguments to .sustain the changes. itini.Mrrio.N : OK HANK NI > TIS.

The national bank notes sent to the treasury for redemption during the week ended yesterday showed a largo falling off as compared with last week.

ANXIOUS FOR ANOTHER TERM Indications that Cleveland Will Lead His Parly Ajaiu , WHAT HIS METHODS H WE ACCOMPLISHED Democratic Machine Hn * .

[ Staff Correspond ence of Tun Hnn.i ( .Jrovor Cleveland will head the democratic national ticket the fourth tlmo In IS'.il , luri-ln ; accident. Kv 3ry day some direst evidence of this fact crops out In the ofllolal action of the president. When It was proposed In 1H"0 to rim Ulysses S. Grant for a third term It will be recalled that the original mugwumps and the copperheads arose In nrms nnd declared that It was the pnrpoio of General Grant and his ft lends to niaku this icpubllc a monarchy and to create in Grant the king. There was-talk of violence to put down the public uprising In favor of "cnthronliiK Grant. " The men who are now humbly bowing obels'inco and making silaatns to drover Cleveland were the most Inllnmma- bio and excitable opponents against a third term for Grant , How a few jears Imvo changed the minds of men ! 'J'hero Is not a word uttered against , tbo proposition to "unthrone Cleveland" In Ib'J * . and not a bre.tth of suspicion is bre.ithed nbaut a monarchy or a kingdom. Cli-veliintl'K 1'rcullnr MrtltniM. When President Cleveland last March In timated that ho intended to break up this gauss and rclog'ito thu ringsors ! and bosses and bring forward men who were above waul working , tbo democratic party leaders said bo was either mad or determined to close the ciiroer of hN party. They openly announced that "surely Cleveland doesn't In tend to overrun ng.iiu for the presidency. ' ' It seemed that he intended to turn his back not only upon all the methods which had bocn employed to give his party success at 1 ho polls , but the very men who had secured the success by looking after tbo details. It was declared that ho had suddenly grown belter than bis party. When be began to make his appointments , after bo bad chosen his cabinet , whi-rrIn bo had not exercised bis llnest scrutiny , it was discovered in most instances that tin- big ofllces vu.-ni to tbo personal friends who bail boomed Cleveland in Chicago In IS'.1 ' ) and who were not ttio bosst-s. Anxious to Scno AK : > | II. There was method In that madness. 1 have It upon the word of n congressman wno is in the coDlidcnco of the president that when the subject of a third term was broached to tbo latter during the past few days Mr. Cleveland's eyes sparkled as he observed something couched in words very much lik these : "Do you believe they would want mo foi another four rears in tbo white house ; " When ho was assured that ho was un questionably "tbo logic of the situation , " the president again gave evidence of his pleas ure and made an observation in. effect like this : "Well , that is pleasant ; but you know the next contest is nearly three years ahead of us. " In a number of ways , in several delicate forms of phraseology , the president not only intimated that bo thought that n third term for him was among the possibilltiesbut that ho actually expected his work to grow. The president believes that be has broken down tbo barriers of his party In manv di rections , and that ho may bo the forcible as well ns the logical candidate. Ho says lie has cast aside tbo bent of bis party in favor of inflation and lint currency , and if bo defeats state bank circulation in spite of the endorsement of it by the party's national platform he will , having broken down the old policy of f reo silver coinage , bo the only standard bearer for the reconstructed demo cratic party , Cleveland Out-l'IcvolniuU Himself. The republicans who were dissatisfied with the manlier in which President Harri son distributed the oftlces and the demo crats who involshcd against President Cleveland during his iirst term for not hav ing given out tbo loaves nnd ilshes with that ghoulish glco which bellts a thoroughbred spoilsman should como to Washington now and compare notes with the ward strikers who have for six or eight months been try ing to got ofllee under the present adminis tration. It is reported that the rocqinuicnditlons of democrats in congress constitute no guar anty whatever thai the democrats selected by communities will bo appointed to ofllre. President Cleveland , with a sweep of his hand , not only brushes away oflieo seekers , but with a stroke of las band be undoes the wishes of state and county committees and party organizers and party representatives In congress. Another feature of bis arbi trary action in respect to appointments Is his absolute refusal to indicate when he wilt iill an ofllco. Ho will sometimes tell those who approach' him that ho docs not intend to make an appointment for a given time , but lie flatly refuses to say bo will act at that time. Outside of Now York the machine has suffered terribly under this administration. At Cincinnati and Chicago , as well as Indianapolis and Philadelphia , tbo president lias overlooked tbo wishes of the "gang. " In Now York the anti-snappers bavo been Klvcn places with bcrnpulous carp. 'I hero the president has rewarded his friends and attempted to bicak down the Hill-Murphy machine. H looks as though wo had almost reached an epoch in olltee-glviug at the white liouso wherein strikers and bosses were over to bo Ignored. JNotlilnu bo Uuoi'i-taln : i * Olllrc. Men are often cut out of prominent federal - oral appointments by mere Incidents. And after a man is nominated to an onleo tils nomination is often defeated in the senate by accident. A few days ape it looked ns though ox-Congressman Frank Lawlor of Chicago was sure to ho maito postmaster of the Garden City. Ho had the endorsement of Senator Palmer , all the Chicago congressmen - men and sovornl miMiiber.s of the Illinois del egation odtsido of Chicago , ox-Mayor Harri son , a majority of tbo aldermen of the city , allot the presidential electors of the state and a majority of tbo delegates to the na tional convention , In addition to thcso bo had n petition of 153,000 names of Chicago citizens the greatest testimonial ever filed for any man for office- . And yet Mr. I twlcr failed , because of the personal influence of one man with the pres ident , who had back of him several start ling facts at hl command , This man , ac cording to popular rumor hero , was Melville 10. Stone , a Chicago Journalist. When haw- Icr was a member of the city council of Chicago cage Air , Stone madu war on him anil several - oral of his colleague ! ! . When It looked ns if Mr. L-wlei1 was to bo appointed postmaster Mr. Stone came on to Washington and went to the wblto liouso , where ho Is always wel come , and told Presldcmt Cleveland that ho had n certain array of faots yery-damagini : to l-iuwlcr , which he would carry into a senate committee if necessary and support by his own aflldavit in order to prevent I-uwlev's confirmation to any ofllco , llathcr than in- vlto any such opposition the president de clined absolutely to npnolnt Mr , Lawlor , in the face even of his stromr endorsement.
