Humbug,

The Tariff Commission which Congress
proposes to institute is merely a device to
out off all revision Of the tariff and keep
duties just where they are. When the
Commission has been organized and has
spent its time and the public money in ar
irving at its conclusions, does anybody sup
pose that Congress will take any OF then
without thorough examination and protrac
ted debate?

We regret to learn of the death of this old
and respected citizen ofJackson, at Charles
ton, :. c., on Friday last. He removed
to Charleston about two years since. Mr..
Hilzheim was in his seventy-seventh year.
His disease was softening Of the brain, with
which he had been a sufferer for two years.
Mr.. Hilzheim came to jackson in 1887, and
after spending more than forty years in this
place, as a useful and respected citizen, re-
moved to Charleston. He was born in
Hamburg, Germany, and landed in New
York, in 1888. Five brothers and two sis
tcrs immigratel from fatherland to the
United States and died in this country, he
having survived them. His brothers, like
himself, were men of mark and left their
impress in the communities where they
lived. He leaves a widow and two sons, and
his daughters Mrs. Isydore Strauss, Mrs.
Henry Strauss and Mrs. II. H. Smythe, be
sides numerous other relatives and friend.
to mourn his loss.

The Mississippi River Question.
DEBATE IN THE SENATE.


WASHINGTON, ApriI.-After the morn
ing hour to-day the Senate resumed consid-
Grafton of the Mississippi river question.
The subject is receiving unusual attention.
Senators listen more closely to the debate
than they have to any other discussion of
the session. Jonas, of Louisiana, this after
noon delivered a carefully prepared speech.
1t was an interesting and valuable cOntribu-
ton to what may be called the literature of
the Mississippi. In the course of his argu-
ment he committed himself to the policy of
granting national aid to the construction of
@levees, and in defence of his position he
cited the declarations of bygone as nell as
contempory public men f~avoring the build
ing of levees. As an illustration, he read
an extract from a speech made in the Sen
ate in 1866, by Senator Howard, of Michi-
gan, who declared "If we have a right to
dredge the Mississippi, we have the right to
construct entertainments upon it," Jonas
called attention to the laws passed over &c
years ago, appropriating swamp lands to the
valley States the proceeds of which lands
were under the law used in constructing
levees aud draining the lands. If Congress,
had constitutional authority to appropriate
lands for this purpose he cOntended tina.
there must be authority to appropriate
money for the same purpose.
The speech of Senator Garland this after
noon was able, eloquent and effective. Il
was directed chiefly to two points. First
he opposed the placing of any restriction
on the river commission in the %expenditur
of the money appropriated. He contende'
that if in the judgment of the commission i
was wise to spend it in the construction o
~levees, the commissioner should be allowed
to use the money for that purpose. In tn
second place he favored an appropriation c
thirteen millions for the Mississippi. 81
did not believe it was economical to apprC
pirate money in drlblets for such a great an
necessary work.
On the 10th Senator George spoke in fave
of the appropriation, presenting the argu
ment at length and with force and c~learnes

deem it improper to say word for DR..
Simms' White Pulmonic Balsam. This
remedy is extensively known as a great
remedial agent in curing lung and
throat diseases and is recognized by all
schools of medical practice as very
valuable expectorant. 1t is put up in
two sized bottles at fifty cents and one
dollar by DR.. Simms & Son, Whining

Unless our citizens who are able give
more literally to the support OF the
Water Witch cause than is apparent
upon the subscription books, that COM
pany will fall far short of raising the
required Ave thousand dollars, to build
a new engine house. The Water
Witch If not the best, is at least the
equal in efficiency and character of any
other company in the city. 1t has
been In active service since some of Its
members now hoary headed and bowed
with age were young men with raven
locks and eyes firm which flashed the
buoyancy of youth. Never has there
been call of danger from the fire fiend
to which the Water Witch did. net
heartily respond. We can hardly
think that our citizens who have so
often been benefited by this magni6-
cent fire company would now let 1t
suffer lust at time when it is trying
to increase its efficiency and usefulness.

pists, here is call upon you. Look

1t is not likely any of tbe reforms for

power to block and delay legislation on
subjects which would reflect credit
