towering the Stslwart ,)mmittee 10
hold such a conference a the Half
Breeds as is proposed tc held on the
It'll Of July. This residue was not, he
said, expected to accomplish anything.
When asked il he thought that a compro-
mise could be effected on the 18th, he re-
Piled, with much earncstrCsS, that n thor
ough compromise Is utterly impossible, and
il any arran cement i, made il viii result
In driving thousands Of Independents to

TIE OPPOSITION TO rEBATE.
The Treasury Department IS fighting the
provision Of the iHtorual-reyenue blu
which allows 4 rebate Of taxes on cigars
aud cigarettes. The argument Is that il
will lead to fraud Now, il there can be
fraud it must be on tie part Of the Govern
r9ent officers. for Il system OF rebate can
be- readily devised which viii place it be-
v,nd the manufacturers or holders of e.
rars and Cigarettes to defraud the Gov
eminent out OF dollar. This charge Of
anticipated fraud is the iavorite argument
OF the Treasury Department, and espe-
ciallv Of Commissioner Raum when it j.
proposed to give the people relief against
the iniquitous intcrEai-royenuc system.
The intcrnal-revenue bin j. still in the
Finance Committee Of the Senate, and it
/, feared that IL will give rise to pro-
tractcd debate when il reaches the Senate.
Vet the impression prevails among many
who ought 10 know that the bin will pass
the senate as it came from the House.
