It is openly usserted upon every hand that without cloture there will be 1o *revision™ of the tariff oy the Filty third ecngress, nor, in fact, any other im vortant legislation, Thus is ce the silver repoal move will ats Dosconraged. A number of prominent democratic con gressuien, in commenting upon the outlook, hiave expressed the opmion that this con- &ress will fml to accomplish iyvthing, The aerious part of 1 tion from a demo: ratic point of vi t cloture, proposed by the republicans, is opposed by all of the democratic leaders, those who are both and against siver repeal. They fought 1t bitterly wheu the force bill was beforo the senate, and they have ever oposed cloture, They could not well accept it now, even though it were for a specitic measure, and it should be offered to them as an accomplished fact, but it looks at this time as though it could not be secured, even if the strongest efforts were made, A cloture amendment to the rules will not be reported from the rules committee, all of its members but one (Mr. Aldrich, repub- lican, of Rhode Island) being opposed to it for any purpose, and if it was brought before the sonate 1t would excite a more obstinate and prolonged debate than_ the silver bill 1t105ks just now a8 though the Fifty-thivd congress was doomed to fullures in. every direction.

On this showing a re nue duty of 10 per cent would protect the American manu facturer.

He says t, uall tarift duty ought to be contin perhaps, looking not to protec- tion, but to revenue, ward to wheat flour, the duty at present is 5 per cent ages do not”constitute more than b per A duty of 20 per cent, instead of tho present rate of per cent would be ample.

Musio, HOKE SNITH AND PENSIONS | Secretary of the Interior Insists that He Has Been Misreprasented, HE I3 ONLY AFTER THE FRAUDULENT Denles the Assertion that He 1+ Opposed to PensiondSaspended Benefioinries Will Bo Dropped It They Fa to Prove Up, WasniNarox, Sept. 24 Bre | —Secretary Hoke Smith talked frankly and cheertully to Tie Ber covrespondent at the Interior department today about pen The secrotary feels that the republi papers of the country have pur ted his position upon the pension question and that he has been hetd dircetly responsible for acts about which he sw nothing until after they mitted T'he secretary took as his text the decision rendered in the pansion case of Charles T, Bennett, a private in company I, Thirteenth Indiana volunteers, which was the upon which an important order was issued and about which so much has been said. At the outset of his conversation Secrotaty Smith stated that it was w to suppose he was a common enemy to pensians. He actually and conscientiously believed that there has crept upon the pension rolls, through one avenue anl another, by various rulings of pansion commissioners and the work of examiners and othor oM:ers of the Peusion bureau, an enormous number of per- sons who were not entitled to pensions, “These are the ones I am after,” said the stary, “and they are the ones we in- tend to” weed out of the pension list i€ they dduce the total number of pensioners one- {Spacial to Tue sions, can n posely misrepres were com basis Lochren Acted Referring to the order of Commissioner Lochren, divecting that all pensioners whose claims were not good upon the presentation made. should bo dropped from the rolls for a period of sixty days, when they must mako their claims good or Suffer pormunent sus- pensio: v Smith said that this ac- tion was taken when he was absent from Washuzion, and that it did not meet his aporoval. He belioved that, whetner there was authority or mot, a pensioner, after being once placed upon the rolls, shoutd have notice befora being dropped. The sec- retary observed with significant em- phasis that his modification of this order was iuno sense s reversal of that order. He thought the statement made by newspaper correspondents that he had “backed down from the order and reversea it" was a cruel misrepresentation of facts. that the order as it stood tod iy astic as the origmal order, with the single exception that it gave the pensioner wo or tiree months of time before being dropped. Asked as to the effeet of the mod- ified order, the secretary stated thul about one-half of those wno were placed upon the list of suspected frauds and who were given notice that they must furnish proof of their right to receive pensions were dropped, or would be dropped, at the end of the time within which proof was requived, and that at least half of those who were dropped would never be able to furnisn satisfactory evidenco that they were entitled to pensions. The cffect of this would be that at least one- fourth, if not fully one-hulf, of those whoare placed upon the list for suspension ave finally ved of their pensions. Proposed Having u Alone, neral luvestigation. Secretary Smith stated that his original idea in having the list of “suspects” pre- pared was to have stricken from the rolls those who had failed to present. prima fucie evidenco that they were entitled to pensions, Le believed that investigation into all of these cases would lead to the discovery of much fraud, and that fully half of those who had not made prima facie cases would fail in their efforts to show that they were entitled to pensions. Many of those who were being notified that they must furnish new evidence had so little to stand upon that they would make mno effort whatever. “The seccetary declared that it was a great mistake to suppose that he in- teaded to decrease pension expenditures by depriving those who were entitled to pen- sions under the law of their just rewards, He asseverated with an earnestness that could not well be mistasen that he was not opposed to pensious, but he added in the we breath that he was more opposed to permitting pensioners to stay upon the rolls trough fraud than he was in favor of pen- sioning those who were entitled to pensions, | Referring to the fact that quite a number of pensioners who were dropped fi weve being reinstated, the secretary said that all of those had furmshed the required evidence and had filled in the links breaking the chain to their ca Hix Iuterpretation of the Law. § avy Smith dwelt at some length upon the “spirit and letter of the disubility pension act of June, 180), He stated that if that law meant anything it meant only to pension those who wore disabled from per- forming manual labor. Mere is where the secretary of the interior became most ear- nest in his conversation. He statea that in the case of Charles T, Bennett, the Hoosier veteran, it was only claimed that he was lightly deaf in” both ears,” und that it wais aeknowledged he could hear a wateh tick half an inch from either car. “It was not claimed,” said S Smith, “that Bennett was suffe mental or physical disability, yet he w pensioned at the rate of 312 per month, suspended him because upon his own pre- sentation he failed to prove thut he was 'suffering a pensionable disability,’ was pauper, or disabled to an extent that he could not perform manual labor. 1 am de- termined that sl pensioners now upon the rolls, or those who are trying to get upon the rolls on the pretext that they are suffering from disability received cither in the line of duty or since the war, shall prove that their alicged disability is that preseribed us pen- sionable under the of 1800 We shall go ahead 1w our work of purging the pension rolls; and I might add that we have only bezun the work, and that its fruits ar ample for the efforts put forth,” Penny S, Hearu, INDIAN ArFAIRS, vt of Commissioner of Indian Afaies Brownin Wasuixaroy, Sept. 23.—The commissioner of Ingien affairs, Daniel M.
