@Composure is very often the
highest result of strength. Did we
never see a man receive a fragrant in
suit and only grow little pale, and
then reply quietly? That was a man
spiritually strong. Or did we never
see man in anguish stand, as if cary
ed oat Of solid rock, mastering him
self? Or one bearing hopeless trial
remain silent, and never tell the world
what it was that cankered his home
peace? That is strength. He who
with strong passions remains chaste;
be who, keenly sensitive, with many
powers of indignation in him, can be
provoked and yet refrain himself, and
forgive; these are strong men, spirit
ual heroes.-Iupper.

TARIFF COMMISSION.
what II Thought OF IL in the House
Who VIII Oppose IL.

Special 10 Restera associated Press.
WASHINGTON, February s. - The New
York Democrats in the House are prepar-
ing to antagonize the Tariff Commission
bill adopted by the Ways and Means Com.
mittee, on the ground that it is mere sub
terfuge, framed and intended to perpetuate
the present protective system. They in
tend to make an issue on this bill. II the
party can be brought together, a caucus
will be held to map out line OF action. A
prominent Democratic leader of the House
says, this evening, our policy is to show the
iniquities Of the protective system, and to
expose them. That is presented in this
bill. 1t is nothing more nor less than a
scheme TO quiet the demand OF the people
Tor tariff reform by pretence OF doing
something. The Democrats should take a
asse6SRiiHpedb dbu StaRd rooO5l rs We nave got
few black sheep among us, who are just
strong enough to prevent our doing any
thing. There are few Democratic men,
bers who are subSeryient to Kelly and the
Protectionists, and they will, of course,
attempt, as they have hitherto, to handicap
the Democratic party in Congress, and pre-
vent it from making record in favor OF
tariff reform. | don't believe they can
succeed this time, for my part, am deter
mined shall not be muzzled.
It's evident that there will be strong
Democratic opposition 10 the Kasson bill,
but there is a sentiment on that side ot the
House in favor Of compromising upon a
tariff commission, provided the power to
create the commission shall be vested in
Congress. or that the commission shall
consist OF members OF Congress.

WASHINGTON. February S.-The Dakota
delegation are pressing the commissioner
general OF the land office for a division OF
the land districts OF Dakota and new land
office.
The Senate, in executive session, devoted
considerable time to the discussion of the
practice of promoting officers OF the army
and navy over the heads OF others above
them in rank, and appointing civilians
to positions over the heads oil
officers. The subject came up
through the consideration Of the nomina-
ton OF Theodore ID. Wilson, of New York,
TO he Chief of the Bureau of Construction
OF the Navy. Wilson was jumped oyer
several above him in rank and service in
that bureau. The sense of the Senate was
opposed to this practice. Several Senators
said they would vote against all nomina-
tiOns, hereafter, where the nominee is
Jumped over the heads of others, because
il always proceeded from fayOritism, and
was unjust to the officers thus deprived OF
rightful promotion.
Representative Ermentrout, OF Penn,
Democrat, says he will not be bound by any
party action on the subject OF tariff, and
will so declare in the caucus. He will ad-
nit the commission bill adopted by the
Ways and Means Committee is not intend
ed TO accomplish anything; that its purpose
is more TO prevent change in the tariff
than any thing else but it is Pennsylvania $
interest to perpetuate protection, and he
intended TO vote for il regardless any action
his party make take.

Mr.. Belmont says it is infamous, and the
based, outrageous. He is satisfied that it
will be beaten. Mr. Pound feels sure that
the bill will be rejected. Mr.. Sparks is op.
posed to it, and predicts its defeat. 1t was

One substitute that will be offered for
the pending bill will propose to fix the
membership OF the House at 532, as that

claimed, more equitably among the frac-

Some OF those who have studied the drift

finally adopted.
