McKAY'S TARIFF BILL PASSED IN THE
HOUSE BY ia TO 95

The Tariff Reduction and Labor Destruction
bill reported by Gen. Mckay of N. c., passed
the House of Representatives on Friday after
noon by vote of ia to 95-one Wing (Mr. Hill
lard of Ala in the affirmative; eighteen Loco
Focos (eleren from Pennsylvania, four from New
York, two from New Jersey, and one from Md.)
in the negative. The Ohio Loco Focos, after all
their vaporing, iunked, as they had done before
on Annexation and were ready to do on 81 40 if
Polk had needed any farther servility at their
hands. Even B,inkerhof like the cur he is,
was whipped in to vote the behest OF the Palace,
in defiance OF the valorous speech yet warm from
his lips! So with Ohio Mcdowell; so with our
Rathbun, Preston King, SC. Secretary Walker,
Editor Richie, &c. were on the floor, throughout
the struggle, acting as overseers for Polk, and
handling the Executive squadrons with practiced
dexterity. The bill was saved by one Uote (IO5
to lOD on the question of allowing Salt to go in
the free list-the Wings voting with the Free
Salt Locos in the hope of killing the whole con-
cern Had this proposition succeeded, the Fish
ing Bounties would have gone overheard, and the
Maine Delegation with good part of ours must
have voted against the bill and defeated It, But
Salt being retained as non-enumerated article at
duty OF 20 per cent. the amendment utterly re.
pealing the Fishing Bounties was non-concurred
in by the House 1O9 to 1907 and the bill pushed
through by an unexpectedly heavy vote.
There Is yet hope of its defeat in the Senate,
and barely hope. In view of the influences
which have been brought 10 bear on the House,
and the success which has attended them-in
view of the fact that Annexation was carried
through the Senate last by the mere force of ex-
ecutiye influence against much stronger repug-
nance on the part OF Loco-Foco Senators than is
now felt to the tariff destruction asked of them
in view of the late enormous increase Of Execu-
tive patronage caused by the War-we cannot
induce our friends to calculate on the defeat of
this most fatal measure. Calhoun or Benton or
Cass might do it, indeed; but of Calhoun this
cannot be expected, nor Of Benton neither after
his disgraceful desertion of himself on the Texas
question. Cass is at heart for Protection and un.
derstands the subject, but he wants to be next
President, and has learned what influence pre-
dominates in Loco-Foco National Conventions
We apprehend the vote on this bill in the Senate
will stand as follows:

HOW TO COOK A HUSBAND.

We believe the receipt is not given in anv Of
the modern treatises on Domestic Economy-not
even in Miss Beecher's " Supplement- which is
the very latest production of this nature and of
course ought to supply what others have omitted.
We excuse the lady, however; she never had
husband, and we suppose would tell us as Mrs
Glass did of the hare that you must catch the
creature" This is all reasonable enough, but
the receipt is given in an English paper and the
English are celebrated for being good. plain cooks
The moduS 0perdndi of cooking husband so as
to make a good dish OF him, is given in a late

kle all their lives. These women ALWAYS serve
them up with tongue sauce. Now it cannot be
supposed that husbands will be tender and good

trary quite delicious when well preserved. Ma

company them with a sufficient portion of secre-

We would advise all guide wives to try this
receipt, and realize how admirable dish hus-

These votes are not all certain, on either side
Gen. Barrow OF La is said to be candidate for
Maj. General in the Volunteers if so, Mr. Polk
may get rid of his vote, if necessary; Mr. Archers
vote we do not count sure against the bill, nor
Mr. Niles's nor Hannegan's for it, but the proba-
blities are as above. Win not Pennsylvania be
righteously served il the Tariff is crushed by the
vote of Texas
The more probable presumption therefore is
that this bill, perhaps with some notifications,
will become law, and that by the close of this
month the Tariff Of 1912 will be repealed

A VILLAIN IN CoNGREss. We find the fol-
lowing in an exchange paper All have heard
OF John 5. Chapman, who is in Congress from
Michigan 1t was he who said that education
was inconsistent with democracy; and one might
infer from his character that he deems morality
to be inconsistent with it too.
Just preceding the last Congressionai election
he applied 20 the county court, for divorce from
his wife, charging her with adultery. The
charge was wholly false. After his election to
Congress, he went to his wife, and told her he
had been deceved-that he had full confidence
in her, and that he had withdrawn application
for divorce.
He therefore wished her to prepare herself
and start for Connecticut to visit her friends and
in few weeks he would come after her, and
take her with him to Washington. This appa-
rent honesty won the confidence of the confid-
ing woman. But no sooner had she left for Con.
necticut, than he entered the court, and by the
swearing OF vile prostitute, obtained divorce.
He was Immediately married to the abandoned
woman, made arrangements for the disposition of
his property at home, and started for Washington.
50 indignant were the people in the neighbor-
hood OF his residence, that coat of tar and feath-
ers was prepared for him, but he escaped SO mer-
tied punishment
When the true state of the divorce case be-
came anown. the lawyers of Kalamazoo went in
to couft and moved to rescind the decree of the
court granting the divorce, which was done. and
Chapman Immediately informed OF the fact
Chapman now lives at Washington openly with
his vile paramour.
