FROM WASHINGTON.
The Democratic Caucus Tackles the Tariff
---Sen. Vance Gives Hear u Good One.


Special Correspondence Of the Scatiuel.
WASHINGTON, d. c., March Do
Education in the Senate, whisky in
the House of Representatives, and the
anXiously awaited result of the Dem
ocratic tariff conference have marked
the week at the Capitol. At the ap-
pointed hour ON Tuesday evening
when the caucus was called to order
one hundred and eighty-four members
were present. After talk of several
hours an understanding was reached
without any one being read out of the
party" 1t was decided by a vote of
la to 81, that the Morrison bill
should be discussed for Il reasonable
time in committee of the whole, where
it should be subject to amendment,
after which it should be reported to
the House, and then put upon its pas
sage. A resolution was adopted de-
claring that no member ehould be
bound by this caucus action except so
far as he, as Democrat, felt bound
by the action Of a majority of his par
ty in caucus. 1t was also agreed that
it was expedient to abolish the Inter
nal Revenue tax on tobacco, and to
reduce that on fruit brandy to ten
cents a gallon. The benefits of the
Educational bill being distributed
upon the basis of illiteracy are to be
shared by the South in the largest
proportion.
All sectional objection to the measure
emenates exch vely from Republican
Senators Mr.. Sherman is one of the prom
inent sectional opp posers, the one who
has so recently been loud in professor
of friendship for the colord race AS
Senator Vance forcibly said in debate
upon the bill, "Now when practical
opportunity for he the negro president
itself, Mr.. Sherman thought that an
| ignorant negro could answer his pur-
pose at the polls better than an e1uca-
ted one The inconsistency of Mr..
Sherman has been much commented
upon by the Democrats of the Senate.
Nor did Senator from South Carolina
spare the Senator from Massachusetts,
Referring to remark made by Scna-
tor Hoar in relation to the illiteracy
of the Old North State, saying it was
at the tail end of all the States in the
matter of education. Mr. Vance spoke
sarcastically Of the prostrating effect
of such a blow, and said it was especial
ly crushing coming from the Senator
from Tewksbury, the representative
of State that had sacrificed every
principle for gain, the State that was
more resposible for slavery than any
other, and which, when it found slavery
did not pay in Massachusetts, sold hel
slaves to the South, sang the longme
ter doxology, and thanked God she
was not as other States. FoRsYTH.

just what We have been needing. The
oats in my neighborhood are just coming
up, and this rain will help them to sprout

season from now on, we will have big
