INTERNAL REVENUE BILL.

Opposition to It's Passage by Republi.
cans.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-There is very much
more opposition to the passage of
the ways and means internal revenue
bill by the Republicans in the House than was
anticipat d. Gov. .Dingley of Maine, for instance
says: "There will be at least 40 Republic
cans voting against it and the bill will not pass
There are great many of us who cannot vote
for bill the chief purpose of which is to re-
duce one-half the tax on tobacco knowing
that in doing SO we shall not be able to remove
any more of the tax burdens from the people, !"
Similar expressions are heard n many quarter
Some OF the Massachusetts members do not
like the bill. One New England member said
this morning, If we pass the bill we play i'm
to the hands of Kelley, and of course preclude
any further reduction of taxation. It has
been Kelley's purpose from the start to abolish
the eLtire internal revenue system, and to pre-
vent, If possible, any action on the tariff He
seems to have succeeded, SO far as the ways
and means committee is concerned but he
will not, think, succeed in the House. It
would be pretty hard for many of us TO go
h me after having voted to take off the tax on
tobacco and on practically nothing else, and
answer the question, "What have YOU done for
New England? These are views of Republi-
can opponents of the bill. 1t is learned that q
good many Democrats, however, will vote for
the bill, and it may pass in spite of Republi-
can opposition.

Sane Men Shut Up.
Extremely serious charges against the man
agement of the insane wards of the Wards
Island Insane Asylum were made last evening
at Turn Hall by DR.. Randolph, who was for
many months an attendant in that institution.
He describes it as an excellent place for curing
Jealous husbands of some of their idiosyncra-
cies, for they are detained during the pleasure
of their wives, and on the mere assertion of
those ladies their expressions of jealousy are
set down by the physicians as described symp-
toms of insanity. Ii is never presumed by
these virtnous physicians that there might be
a real cause for the jealousy. 1t is invariably
and gallsntly regarded as an insane delusion.
The lecturer described the food as almost unfit
for members of the poorest kingdom, and said
that sometimes most of it was returned to the
blUp-uuCh6tS- 1u0 btouCH, Ddu Ventilation anu
crowdipg of certain wards were calculated to
create disease and drive sane men crazy, and
thu sad result was not infrequent from those
causes. Sane men were often put in the
chronic and violent wards to prevent then
from making revelations about the true condi-
ton of this institution to visitors.

The Church OF the TRANSPORTATION, East
Twenty-ninth street, between Fifth and Madi-
son avenues, better known as the Little Church

citation, and were as follows-A large silver
fagon, the gift of a mother, in memory of her
daughter; it had raised lily on one side and
an inscription on the other; silver gold-lined
chalice, the gift OF daughter in memory of
her mother, into the knob OF which were set
her mothers wedding and two other rings; a
silver gold-ined pateD and square silver gold
lined box for holding the sacramental breads
these also were gifts in memory OF the same
mother; a small paten used in giving commu,
nion to the sick, the gift of a woman employed
by the Church of the TRANSPORTATION to visit
and relieve the sick and suffering poor The
money value of the articles stolen is several
thousand dollars

THE MORMON INIQUITY.
Democratic Opposition to Reform in

Democratic Opposition to Reform in
Utah.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Members of the
Utah Commission are still here. The object is
to have passed if possible the amendment to
the Edmupds Anti-Polygamy bill, which, in
the main, proposes to accomplish two things:
Firs, that the first wife of Mormon may tes-
tify against her husband. By this means alone
it is claimed it is possible to prove polygamous
marriages; second, to repeal the law by which
female suffrage is authorized in Utah. Under
this law the Mormons will be able to perpetu-
ate their power. is doubtful whether the
bill can be passed, as curiously enough the
Democrats as party mass themselves in op-
position 10 any of the propositions to reform af-
fairs in Utah. Judge Jere Black, the eminent
Democrat, council for the Mormons, has just
delivered formal argument to the judiciary
Committee by which he arrives at the follow
ing conclusion: That under the Constitution
the Government of Territory is free to do
evil and cannot be restrained by the United
States.
