MASSACHUSETTS MUG (TUPS VfCWS Or BESATOa Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts, who appears to have learned the secret Of perpetual youth, for there is scarcely a change on his physiognomy since the time be was a member of the Lower House, in stirring war times, over twenty years ago, was in the city yesterday and ssen by a reporter for Ths Ikteb Ocsax. Ha Is accompanied by the fat and Jolly Deputy Sergeant-at-arins of the United States Senate, who has been the confidant of Democratic and Republican Senators for twoutv-five years Both are on their way to Su Louis, where they join a sub-coniinUtee ot tao Indian Committee of the Senate, consisting ot Senators Ingalls, liorgan. Maiey, Hampton, aal Jones, of Arkansas, and then proceed to the Indian Territory, under a law authorizing hem to inquire into the condition ot the several tribes and bands ot Indians, -in the Indian Territory, the tenure by which the lands In the several reservations are held, and also to report to Congress such recommendations as may be deemed proper for the giving np ot such lands, and under what terms.

Senator Dawes said there would also be; i a commUaion appointed by President Cleveland to report on the same subject, but the act under which his committee would work was broader and in- quired Into the general welfare of the Indiana. Senator Dawes spoke ot the eeling lu Massachusetts over Cleveland's appointments. Tne niugwumps.he said. were terribly aore over the President's selection ot PuJb- bury. Chairman ot the Democratic State Committee of Maine at the time ot the Uar-celon tight, to be Collector of Internal Revenue.

They did not iike the selection ot "Tabulated" Chase to ml ono of tne best office in the gift of the administration, nor were they much pleased-with Troop, ot Connecticut, being called to the front to take. a collectorshlp. The mugwunps charged that these men have been offensive partisans. 'The Simon-pure Democrats were not making any uss. but were willing to take wnutever was offered them rn the shape ut patronage.

The politics of Massachusetts were much about tue same from year to year. Butlerism had come and stirred up both but General Butler had ceased In his work to advance his political ambitions, and he thought at tne next annual election lor Governor. which comes off this fall. Governor Robinson wonld be re-elected. The Senator bad not seen the circular ot Postmaster General Vilas relative to removing Republican Blue-holder, but it looked to him as it "offensive artl8anhip" wss construed by Mr.

The subject cf McUiilicuddy'a ability to hold np aiminat the charges of certain Indians, growing out ot his war of con-i ducting the Bine Bidge Agency, was' brought no, and the Senator thought that these quarrels between the ageuts and the Indians wonld servo as a pretext for McGUlicuddy's removal. With reference to the prospects ot securing the abolition of the Internal Revenue Bureau at future sessions ut Con-" press, Mr. Dawes said it could not be done unless the tax on whisky and tobaroo was aiKiliehed, and he could not think that woul' I be done so long as I'reaident Cleveland ahowea that the surplus revenuo had disappeared from hundreds of millions ot dollars THE DAILT INTEIl OCEAlTf STOTAY MOIlNrSG; JfAY IT, lSSS-TTTEXTT.

Strawberries from Tennessee and Mississippi, and strawberries from Illinois. The lutter came in yesterday, and commanded a good price because of their freshness and good flavor. In the morning they brought as hlgn a crate, but toward evening sold for $3. 50 to 1. 50 a orate.

The Missis, sippi and Florida variety were from $3 to 14 a crate, or from 15 to 25 cents a box. The Southern States are aend.ng out great quantities of green things, but tholr business will come to an end, so say the Soutn Water street men, if the warm weather keeps up for a week lu this region.

The Civil Service Commission of the post- office are not Issuing any application blanks, but in place are issuing a notice to the effect that there are enough on hand at present, as it is not the intention ot the coin mission to examine every oue. bnc at the same time tiler desire to keep on hand enough chiu-petent purxous desiring appointment to sup ply any vacancies, ine circular closes us follows': "It is probable tuat the vague hope of a great nuiuiier of appointments to be speeduy made will nothing continue. When it is more generally known tuat the applications are vustly in excesj of the reasouaule chances of appointment, unwarranted hopes will doubtless give pluoe to tuat intelligent view ot tue situation which will cause the number ot applicants to bear some reason able proportion to the number ot scan urea." Notes. Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts, was around the Government Uuudinx yesterday.

He is visiting his son, the Assisiant District Attorney. Special Agent Parker was around the Government Building yesterday. (He has not yet received his permanent assignment, but will remain in Chicago until he does. District Attorney Tuthiil is ready for the Muckin-Galiagher motion Monday.

A Comet! la Two Acts. Once more the mortgaged property and simple, something-for-aliuost-notaing man came upon the boards at Justice Brayton'a theater yesterday. The play Is in two acts. The leading parts are taken by Mr. Martin Van Buren Coder, one who deals in real estute, and Bicnard Ferral, No.

557 North Wells ktreet, who is looking for a soft snap. An oyster parior at No. 4523 West Madison street plays a minor part, us does John J. Schaefer, keeiier ot said oyster parlor. Ferral wants quick returns for a small investment, and It is alleged Coder came to him and said the place at 452 lj West Madison street was tree of all incumbrances and was realizing a net profit ot $75 per day.

He could have a hatt Interest In the place for $2,000. Money paid In. and everything goes smooth until Ferral discovers the oyster parlor is heavily mortgaged, and tuat It does not make any money for tue proprietors. A warrauc is taken out for the arrest of Coder, and the curtain rings down on the first act. Ferral is not seen at his best in the initial scenes, nor does Coder play with the intensity and soulfulness displayed in the second act.

The curtain rings up on a real estate office, furnished In the usual style; the chair and map hare prominent positions, and Coder Is discovered wearing very heavy boots. Ferral enters, and in uurab show entreats Coder to "take back tue score and pay me the money." There is a lively tight. In which both participate. Coder being seen to arrest advantage. Ferral would retire at the point where he fulls heavily against Coder's hst, bnt is prevented from doing so by a well-placed kick.

The curtain on this scene ring down with the two men embracing and attempting to dihe off each 1 otuer'a ears. Justice Brayton, for the assault, held Mr. Coder In $200 bonds until May 22, and for selling mortgaged property the bonds were made 3400 until the same data Weak Defense. James and Patrick O'N'jill are brothers, of Irish parentage, and have been In the conn-try for some time. A couple of months ago a feeling came to Pat that he would like to revisit the land of his birth and the'scenes oi his childhood.

He had fared pretty well here, and some of the money he had made was ted to transport him to Ireland, When he returned, along with a tuft ot shamrock, Patrick brought a couple of crows, whose rookerT had been among the trees under wnica he had eo innuy happy hours. The shamrock lived, and the "caws" grew fat ia this country, and Pat was happy lu their possession. But James set his covetous eyes on those-crows. and when a day or two ago he saw his opportunity, lie stole them. Patrick had him arrested, and he was brought into tne Armory Court, The defense wus weak: it consisted of a confessed inordinate desire to possess something that re-minded him ot tue "ould arta" Justice Foote heard the testimony, and, after considering it, said: "Well.

Put, you have made a pretty rood case for the 'lost but I think I'll discharge the defendant." StfclaKS.

The Host Inquest. An Inquest was held yesterday at Ltberty-ville on body of Bos tne, the old gardener of A Cook, of No. 380 West Adams street The body was found in a small lake last Wednesday. No marks ot violence were found on the body when discovered, and It is supposed that the deceased waa murdered Monday night by someone evidently well acquainted with the premises, who threw the body of their victim into the lake. The impression seems to be that the unfort-nnute man was smothered between a couple of feather bods, as an examination of the heart and lunga of the deceased show that be waa dead wheit thrown Into the lake.

bc ajoutb. Ma, stay iu. Prom a source considered reliable it was learned this morn ing that the Wabash waa about to close an arrangement with the PnUman Company to run sleepers of Pullman make over the Wabash to Chicago again. About two years ago the Pullman contract expired with the railroad company, and on its expiration one of the conditions, by which ths railway had the privilege qf buying the cars waa taken advantage ot In the interest of the Wagner Sleeping-car Company. The sale was made, aa per contract; and the Wagners began to run the sleepers of the Wabash between here and Chicago, la a abort while the Mann Boudoir Company was granted the right to ran its cars in the same territory, which greatly displeased the Wagners The culmination of tbe difficulty was the with drawal of Warners sleepers about a month ago.

and ths whole field waa left to the Mann company. Daring the past few days a puuman car nas been quietly put on tna Chioairo line. This morning George F. Brown, general manager, and T. H.

Wlckes, general superintendent of the Pacific division of the Pullman com pany, arrived from Chicago, bring ing with them a bran new sleeper. the Nil us, for the service above alluded to. Late this morning they were in close consultation with A A Talmage, general manager of the Wabash, and before 1 o'clock an agreement had been perfected for the running ot the Pullmans permanently. Whether it is an exclusive contract, or whether the Mann cars are to be permitted -to run also, ooull not be learned. It is but due to Mr.

Talmage to state that ths Pullmans were not ordered oft by him, bnt by Robert Andrews, then general superintendent ot the Wabash. The new car Kilua is entirely different from any Pullman has yet constructed. It contains a buffet, drawing- room, Bmoktog-room. and a cabinet wash- stand in the drawing-room, wnlon remains closed and out ot slffhs when not in use. Mr.

Talmage and a narty of railway officials in spected the nsw ear this afternoon at 4 clock, and pronoun oed it satisfactory. I THB PLAIN TBTJTH. A ZAox or BtrsrirBss noKsrvu. We are not alarmists; we are not inclined to disturb the joonfldenoe of railway share-' holders in railway managers; we are not dis posed to disturb the confidence of Investors in railway securities, but we feel certain that without a greater degree of moral principle In railway management than has been and is now being displayed In this country railway properties will become valueless and the great railway corporations bankrupt. We say what we Have said and shall say on this subject with oxtreoM healtauea ud Inotanoe, and only from a sense of duty to the railway Interests of the country at large.

We speak, too, on the earnest sollottaUoa of railway manager who feel that the only hope of our railways is in the establishment of a high standard of faith and integrity. There seems to be a painful lack of business principles in toe management of many of the great ratlwaya of the country. Managers have testified before Congressional and other legislative committees and before committees of great commercial organisations that freight can not be carried, exoept at a losa, for less than from 6 to 8 or 9 mills per ton per mile, and yet to-day the same class of freight Is being carried over the same lines of railway at from to of 1 oent per ton per mils Corporations whose experts have testified that Congressional or other legislative interference means ruin to railways, invite to-day legislative action to prevent or avert the ruin they have claimed to fear. Corporations whose experts have demonstrated that National or State railway supervision by reduction of rates, railway ruin, and by inequalities of rates aa between different commercial centers, commercial ruin, are to-day carrying freight at lower rates than any legislative or commercial body ever dreamed of making, and are making wider differences in rates to and from different commercial centers than it waa ever thought would be made by the must inexperienced granger legislator. Railway managers who nave denoanoed in unmeasured terms breaches of faith by States toward railway corporations upon the passage of measures for regulating railways have broken faith with their brother managers in rail way transactions Men who in private Ufa consider their' words aa inviolate as their bonds, in railway affairs disregard their words and their bonds alike, under the excuse of competition or bad faith on the part of others These things can not oontinae and railway corporations exist in a prosperous condition.

A line of railway can no more afford to carry freight at leas than cost than can a dry goods merchant or a grocer afford to sell his com modities at less than ha pave tor them. A raltwav manaser can not lav down a Una of argument for Legislatures and com mercial bodies, sod then enter upon a line of action in the operation of his road, or in its relations witn neighboring lines and competitors, diametrically opposed to the argument he has advanced and sustained. Railway managers, and directors also, are trustees of the property which they operate. Tney are not the owners They oaa not at their will and pleasure, for personal or selfish reasons, act In a manner inimical to the true and lasting Interests of the property they temporarilv control. When will the shareholders awaken to a full realisation of the truth of what we state How far off is the dav when tbe most strict and literal honesty shall prevail In railway manai meat as it does in banking, or other great financial Interests? How soon will the day oome when the railway officer most be aa honest and as truthful and of aa high a standard of integrity in 1ua official relations aa the individual man? CINCINNATI BO ADS.

By the way, the bearing of the case of that road In Clermont County will in regular course oome before Judge D. W. Loudon, one of the Judges of the Com mon Pleas Court of that county, an owner of stock in the road; wherefore other owners of stock have filed a petition in tbe Supreme Court of Ohio for a change ot venue. It Is likely that tbe change will be granted, inas- mucn as tne supreme uourt has cited ths Clerk of tbe courts of Clermont County to appear and rive reason why he should not be orufcred to issue papers for such chantre or venue. A most important railroad case will be heard In Cincinnati In the Superior Court on Monday.

The surrender of the 20,000 snares or stock waa tne surrender of tbe voting power of that stock.

Tney did not make eitr poll-book st all but two town poll-books. The Judges of this precinct were absent ana while waiang for them ths second precinct of the Fifteenth Ward waa taken up.

He neld that User tellers must tn every ease count from tas certificate. Hamaon bold that, in conflict between tally-sheet and certificate, ths taily-eheet waa to govern.

Shorey desired to ask-the judges some questions Colvin and Walsn objected.

The Mayor said Shorey ought to be allowed an opportunity. Us would put to ths judges any proper question Alderman Shorey might ask. Alderman Shorey asked the Judges if any city book was mads. Hoarard said they sup. posed they bad mads a book and a tawa book.

He said: The law authorises bat one return for ths city and one for ths town. Ths only otnee ox tne aupuosts or the oity or of ths -town poll list, under tne law.

is that it may be returned to ths Countv Clerk to be attached to the register. Outside of the regis tration set this paper has no legal validity anywhere. It la true that the clerks are required each to keep a list. One of those lists ia returned in one oass to ths City Clerk and in tne otner to tns Town uierk. and there is no disposition of tbe copy mads under ths law exoept under tns registration act.

and that act has not been complied with. If this was a list maas oat ny one ot tns clerks si ths time for the township vote that list haa no other plaoo of custody exoept in ths County Clerk's office attached to ths regis try. it cax hot msAD Arrsraxxx. for any purpose, under ths law. 1 he only paper whion oaa be read ia ths pser which ia returned to ths Tosnsl 'p Clerk's office.

This ia not that paper. If it- wars a correct township list; If it were a reoord of every msn who voted for a township officer it would have absolutely ao validity nera. The clerks are required to keep a list of those who rote for township officers, sad another list of taoss who vote for city officers There is no pro sumption of law that any voter on this satire list, whion purports to be a township list, voted for any city officer whatever. Ths jndgea are required to take the votes sep arately ana pus tnem in separate poxes xns two lists have ao legal relation to each other la any respect. This paper Is so much blank: paper.

Now, If these judges, having failed In tbelr duty to make out oerti floats of ths number ot voters voting for ths respective city officers, now, a month after that duty should have been performed, are prepared to aay tnat tney can aow make out a eertinoats, that certificate when made out may be presented to tas Council for its consideration, bat it will be a certificate utterly independent legally from this paper, which Is not a legal paper for ths purpose of this canvass, has ao lbqak, vAunrrx anywhers, and is not in fact a cony of the legal return now on file ia ths Township Clerk's office.
