WASHINGTON, February l0.-BOb Inger-
soil happened into the capitol yesterday
afternoon, and said informally on the
tariff: IL read Adam Smith on tariff, and
found he was for free trade, with few eX-
CeptiOns as TO articles and those in favor OF
England. Other authors were for protec
tiOn, with q few exceptions, in favor
Of their countries. OH the
amount of principle involved is tremead
Gus. Everybody is after a selfish end.
Being in no business, and not caring a rush
personally for protection OF any kind,
am in favor of one kind Of protection, a
protection that will diversity our indus
tries, and develop the human mind on all
its sldes. Ii we were all farmers or all
lawy ers, We would be all asses. Therefore
am in favor Of protecting everything that
needs protection
Being pressed for his views on liquor
legislation, the Colonel said: "If the Mis-
siSsippi and all its tributaries were filled
with pure whisky, if the banks were loaf
sugar, and all the low grounds covered
with mint, there would be no more drunk
ennesS than there is to-day. | believe in

Colonel IDgersOll followed this with a
story about q man who asked another;

ST.. LOUIS, February 10.-This city has
lust given to the world an example OF
woman devotion almost unparalleled In
the Parker tragedy, and now furnishes an
almost unexampled specimen OF cool, de-
-liberate viliainy aad OF mans perfdy In
the doings of Charles Shores. This man
was q salesman in large snoe house here,
and resided with his wife and one child,
five years at No. 1,5O6 Morgan street. he
was "gay boy" and q general favorite
among his associates. He got acquainted
with Miss May Craig, lady who kept a
private school at the corner OF Claiming
avenue and Olive street, which school was
considered the most aristocratic private
school in the city.
The substance Of the story as told by all
parties is that Miss Craig was reputed to be
possessed OF considerable money, and
Shores knew it.
He Courted Her
under the name OF Shour. He was con-
slant visitor at the boarding house where
Miss Craig boarded, but no one there sus'
pected that he was married man, and that
Miss Craig was waiting for Miss Jennie
Waldo of New Orleans, to come here and
take the school. Finally, the day after
Christmas, Shores told his wife he had
changed his business, and was going travel
ing for a prominent firm. Next day he
packed his valise, kissed his wife and baby
and, saying he hoped his new enterprise
weuld pay, started away. That evening
about O'Clock he drove up to Miss Craig 5
boaIdipg.house in hack. Miss Craig
Got In the Hack,
as did also the lady OF the house and a gen.
tleman friend. They drove to the house OF
a Catholic priest, and Miss Craig and Shores
we're married. That night they occupied
Miss Craig'S room at the boarding house,
and left the city the next day. Shore s
wife waited in vain for a letter. A couple
of days ago she met friend of her hus.
bands, who told her he had met Shores
AMI Miss Craig on the train bound for New
Orleans, and that Shores said he was going
to Cuba. Next, Miss Waldo, who took Miss
Craigs school, got letter from her mother
in New Orleans stating that she had met
Miss Craig there that the latter pretended
not to know her. and that Shores was also
there, working for the Fairbanks Lard and
Oil Company. This led to an investigation,
developing all the facts as above related.
The guilty man and the duped woman are
supposed TO be still in New Orleans.

finslity shall be reached and the subject OF
tariff taken out of the perplexities of re.
curing Congressional agitation.
IL is true, as was stated by my friends on
this side of the House q few days ago, that
the Republican party before the year 1876
did not make this revision. 1t Is equally
true that the Democratic party during the
six years they were in power. failed 10 ar
rive at conclusion. Gentlemen now say
they desire more time. We all remember
very well the tariff bill reported by the
gentleman from Illinois [Mr. Morrison1; /;
and those of us who were then here re.
menbered the debates. Those who were not
here have the Record of those debates be-
fore them. We also remember
The Tariff Bill
presented by the lamented Fernando
Wood, of New York. We recollect too
that the Morrison bill and the Wood bill
both failed in the House of their friends.
At the last session of Congress il was
deemed eXpedient, with the view of secur-
ing information on this subject, to apsoint
q tariff commission to visit the different
parts OF the Union and inspect their vari-
ous industries. That commission has com
piled the evidence taken and we have it
before us. IL this Congress is not pre-
pared to act finally upon this question be-
fore the present session Ter inmates, the re-
sponsibility must be upon
-. These Whe Defeat It-, s,,..,s.
We must raise revenue IN one % two
ways. When / say one of two ways, am
assuming that our internal revenue sys-
TEN must be abandoned. 1t is repugnant
TO the ideas of the American people; it Is
repugnant to our form of Government.
We must then raise revenue in one of two
ways, either by direct taxation or by duties
on imports. No man, presume, is insane
enough to advocate the idea of raising our
revenue by direct taxation.
Mr.. Hutchins. You will not get any
revenue practically if you adopt this bill;
il is prohibitory.
Mr.. Wilson. My friend on the left Mr.
Hutchinsl says that we shall get no reve-

taken if time shall be given me.
Now, sir,
Revenue Must be Raised
for the support of the Government, for the
payment Of interest on the public debt,
and for the payment of that debt, and il
must be raised by duties on imports. My
idea, Mr.. Chairman, is that this country
should be made self.sustaining; that we
should produce within our own borders all
We can. In time of peace make our own

tie reduction. In the course of the discus.
sion Kelly read from an English paper q
description of the terrible condition OF
labor in England, and Townshend quoted
from the testimony OF Foster before the
Senate committee on education and labor,
to show the condition Of many. laborers IN
New England equally as terrible, but failed
TO see what connection there was be-
tween the touching incident the gentle
man from Pennsylyanis, kelly. had read
about, and this question OF duty on cut
nails; but ii had suggested to him another
picture, that of man who, either by in.
heritance or otherwise, had accumulated
wealth; who possessed a magnificent resi-
dence in the suburbs in PennsylvaDia;
who had every luxury life could afford;
whose check in the bank was good for
MILLIONS, simply because he was in with q
few iron monopolists.
Contrast the Picture OF n MOnopOlisf,
who elected Congressman and Senators,
who controlled the Tariff Commissioners,
who had power greater than other power
in the United States, with the condition OF
the Iaborer. He supposed that for the
purpose of preserving symmetry and mar
mony, OH goodness, the duty on nails
would be kept up; but he warned his Re
publican colleagues that they would hear
from the Republican voters, who were
large consumers of this article. They
would find verdict Of wanting and don't

he would not permit any man to use the

quoted by Townshed, as to the condition
OF labor in New England, and Bayne as
serted that
Labsrers Of Pennsylvania
were urging high tariff for protection OF
labor and making such appeals as this man
Foster, who in;all probability, was crank.
MIR. D1nuell's motion was lost by II to 81.
On motion of Mr.. Carlisle, the duty on
railroad fish plates was reduced from Ia to

Mr.. Dingley offered an amendment,
which was adopted, imposing duty OF 2
cents per pound on anchors or parts thereof,
wrought iron and forgings of iron and steel
for vessels, steam engines and locomotives

pounds or more. Mr.. Dunnell moved to
reduce the duty on horse shoe nails, hob
nails and wire nails from to cents per

Mr. Hewitt, of Alabama, opposed the mo-
ton and had read memorial from
Iron Manufacturers,
all protesting against reduction of
duty on iron ore. He was arraigned by
Mills for abandoning the principles of the
Democratic party and replied by attribut'
ing to the insertion OF the word only" in

Hang the Corpse.
PAoIA, KAN, February l0.-The expected
result of the horrible outrage perpetrated
by the negro Smith on the person of the
little Bennings girl on Wednesday night
occurred yesterday afternoon and the city
is more quiet again. About one o'clock a
great crowd Of whites and blacks collected
in front of the Jail and waited impatiently
for the city, Smarshal to appear with Smith,
who. it was reported, would be taken before
a justice for examination, but at the last
moment the deputy sheriff declined to
move the prisoner, owing TO the
Threats OF the Mob.
The crowd, led by number of the best
business men of this city, then made an
assault on the Jail, drove Sheriff Long back
into the interior Of the building, but could
not get his keys. They then applied sledge
hammers, crowbars and other tools, and
after ali hours work battered their
way 10 Smiths cell, only, however, to find
him stretched dead on the floor, having
committed suicide by
Cutting His Throat
with pocket knife. This was a great dis
appointment to the mob, but it did not
stop their work, for they Immediately put
rope around the neck OF The corpse,
dragged it like log to tree in the
park, and strung it up to the gaze
Of the multitude. After the body had
hung an hour Coroner Potter held
an inquest, the jury finding that
Smith committed suicide during the
Progress of the Riot
Judge WagstaT made an earnest appeal
TO the crowd to discontinue their bloody
work and warned them to disperse, but
they answered with jeers and laughter.
The strangled child is still alive, but is ex
pected to die. Sheriff Long acted very
courageous, but could not resist the mob
who were determined to wreck their ven
gearce on Smith. The result of Smiths
act is one little girl terribly outrag d and
likely to die, two negroes dead, and one
white man and one negro seriously
wounded

BURNING A BOY.
A Child's Head Held Over = Stove
while Powder IL Thrown In.

PAS,, Ill, February l0.-A five- year old
son of John Schaffer, a Pana saloonist,
who lives on his farm one mile southwest
OF town, lies in critical condition, with
his head and face terribly burned by a
mysterious gunpowder explosion last
Sunday. Suspicion as to the cause of the
accident now rests on a Swedish tramp
whom Schatfer had hired to work on the
farm while he attended TO the saloon in
town. The child is DOW able to tell the
story that the Swede held his head over
the hole in the kitchen stove and then
threw in the pound can of powder, the
father being in town and the mother out
side at the time. The sudden fight of the
Swede, who is young man, and the fact
that there was trouble between him and
Schsifer, whose life he had threatened,
strengthens the Child's story and makes it
seem devilish and revengeful deed.
