MONDAY EVENING. JAN. 20. 1893.
Not Very Ingenious.

The nationa al House of Representatives
was disturbed on Saturday by the state
ment of Representative Mckinley that
the Southern planters, who loudly OBJ
iected to the tariff on cotton ties. bought
their ties for three or four cents pound
and sold them to the Yankee cotton
SINNERS for ten OF eleven cents. MIR.
Mckinley thought that while they en-
loved this profitable speculation it would
be advisable for them not to complain
of the hardship Of high duty on cotton
ties to protect their Northern manufac-
turers. But Representative Aiken and
others fiatly denied that the planters got
ANYTHING for the iron ties with which
their cotton bales are tied. New Eng
land manufacturers in the House were
called upon by Mr.. Mckinley to cor
roborate his statement, and they de-
clared that the cotton was paid for
by the New England mills at the
gross weight of the bales, without any
deduction for ties and bagging. Mr..
Aiken said it was not SO done i'll Eng
land. where it was customary TO deduct
the weight of the wrappings in paying
for the cotton and he insisted that
neither did the American manufacturer
pay for them. Manifestly if Mr.. Aiken
is right about the English practice, it is
improbable that the Yankee manufac-
turer, who is reputed to be quite as sharp
at "a trade as anybody, suffers himself to
be beguiled into paying eleven cents fol
what costs but four cents. Yet the
statement of his congressional repre-
sentatives that he seemingly does
this must be accepted as true.
But doubtless it is only in seeming. II
he paws eleven cents a pound for cotton
bale and all, he may be assumed to take
the weight of the comparatively worth
less bagging and ties into the amount il
fixing the price Of the cotton. COttoI
sells at close figures, and an eighth of t:
cent often appears i'm the quotations. A
manufacturer who buys Il four hundred
mound bale for eleven cents, perhaps cal
culates that he is paying Say eleven ant
quarter cents Tor The cotton, knowing
that he gets some twenty-three pounds
of bagging and ties, which is of liitl
value to him willie the English manu-
facturer, who takes off the tarc and ray
only for the net weight of the cotton
would pay the eleven and aquarter cent
per pound for the bale. so that Mr.. Nc
Kinley and the Northern representative
who charged the Southern planters will
souging the Northern manufacturer
were not very ingenious in their state
ments, which were true only in their lei
ter and not at all in ilieir spirit. 1t doe
not take much :icumen to make THIS hiS
covery, and il is not very crcditab'e /
the good sense Of Mr.. Mckinley an
those WHO sided with him that the
should think that their dtcei;fulnes
would not be discovered.

need is to have it fixed at once so that
they and their customers will know what
they are about.

CONGRESSIONAL funerals, the public
expense attending'them and the orgies
of committees which accompany them,
have become subject of general scandal.
The las. published report of the clerk of
the House shows shameful waste
of money on these occasions
and the purchase at the government
expense of class Of articles which indi.
cate that the funeral, so far as the visit
ing statesmen contributed to it, was a
spree. John G.. Thompson drew and
spent for incidentals on the Garfield
congressional funeral train $S,245.4l :;
the expenses of the funeral of the late
Hon. J. Q. Smith amounted to only
S2s1. 95; of the late Hon. NJ. 2. O'Con.
ner to $40, but this is accounted for by
the fact that no congressional COM
mittee accompanied the remains home.
When it came to the burying Of Hon
Thos. Allen, NJ. g., of Missouri, the
congressional committee fairly rioted in
opportunity. $3.50 for coffin and trim
mings: $500 for sleeping cars and trans
portation, and an abundant supply o.
scarfs, gloves and hat bands are among
the least unjustifable of the items bu
they are materially swelled by liberia
allowances for Apolinaris water
hams, turkeys and spring chickens
hotel bills, Strawberries at 80 cents ;
box, and, most striking of all, " for ont
hat lost from car by messenger, So 80.

grow SO fast that in ten years it forms
forests which with other trees would re-

in Australia fifty years old that are more

The French ministers met at the Elysee
yesterday morning and rendered their res
ignations. President Grevy considered
the subject for several hours, when he
accepted the resignation of the ministers.
He then summoned NM. Fallieres and
Jules Ferry for the purpose Of comforting
with them in regard to the formation of a
new ministry. At a cabinet council the
ministers decided to accept the compro
mise between the government and the
committee of tho chamber of depu-
ties on the question OF excluding
pretenders, based upon NJ. Fabre's
proposal, which is reproduction of
the government bill with the additional
clause prohibiting pretenders from exer,
cising the elective function. Admiral
Jaureguiberry then resigned. General
Billot, minister Of war, announced that he
should oppose the measure, but consented
to remain in Office Professionally. in order
to avoid a ministerial crisis. NJ. Fabre
read the report of the committee on the
question. NJ. Bourgeois (Bonapartist)
protested, and moved the previons ques
ton. NJ. Cuneo d'Ornano (Bonapartist)
also protested. The previous question
was rejected by a vote f99 to 40. Debate
on the vote was fixed for Monday.
| M. Duclerc subsequently declined tc
accept II. Fabre's compromise, and in
sisted upon the retention OF the govern
ment's proposals in their original form
He communicated his decision last night
to President Grevy and Ministers Faliere!
and Deves. The resignation of the en-
tire ministry followed.

W. l.. ODER.
a Tribute by One Who Knew Him.

My DEAR Mr.. ODER:
Permit me to tender to your mother, sisters,
brothers and yourself my deepest sympathy
in the sudden and great bereavement which
has fallen upon your family,
Having enjoyed an intimate acquaintance
with poor WILLIE, | feel that word is in
place and a public expression of it duty.
Your modest and timely notice of his death
in the last issue of the JOURNAL met with my
most hearty endorsement. | am sure that
YOU with the same knowledge, would have
written more concerning his traits and char
acteristlcs had he been other than your broth
er. proper memorial of his life deserves
some additional tribute. | do not remember
ever having seen a frown darken his cheerful
countenance or dim the lustre of his eye. He
was always full to the brim and running over
with good humor. A smile and CHEEKY sau-
tation uniformly greeted every one with whom
he came in contact. Like tho rippling stream,
fresh from its fount ever making its joyous
way to the ocean, singing
'.AIen may come and men may go,
But go on forever
So flowed his life, but never forgetting the re-
sponsbilities OF that life and the dependencies
upon it. You justly referred to his ambition,
and to which | am glad to bear testimony.
He set his standard high and was reachingup
towards it. That he possessed genius is not
questioned by those who knew him, and as
accompaniments indispensable to its devel-
opment he combined with it tireess industry
and, still better and most valuable of all, a
blameless moral character, sustained by the
highestregar for Christianity and-why may
l not say-by Christian life for it embod-
led the elements, broad and deep, enunciated
and taught by the great Teacher who said
'By their fruits We shall know them" Yes,
''the day Qhe groat day. will reveal it''-that
''of such is the Kingdom of Heaven"
