THE TARIFF BILL.
The Democrats Unable to Agree on the
Measure.

For some days there has been talk OF
a compromise between the friends of the
Morrison tariff bill and its opponents in
the democratic party by which, in view of
certain concessions to be made to the wool
Interests, the wool men should vote in IA
vor of the amended bill. 1t is understood
now that the proposed compromise has
fallen through and the bill must chance it
on its merits. AS nearly as can be learned
the failure of the compromise is due to the
1mpossibility Of reconciling the demands of
the wool men with the concessions friends of
the bill are willing to make. The latter,
1t is understood, approached this subject in
this wise: Wool, they said, had suffered
a reduction Of eighteen per cent. by the
tariff act of1SS3; there would be some rea-
son for complaint. II it should be included
In a further reduction Of twenty per cent.
below those OF 1867. Would the wool men
vote for the Morrison bill thu amended?
To this it is said the latter replied that they
were unwilling to submit to one wong,
for the sake of avoiding a greater one.
They would not admit, by voting for the
amended bill, that the wrong committed in
1888 was right; they would vote for the
bill if the wool rates Of 1867 were restored.
Otherwise they proposed that every tub
should stand on its own bottom.

THE RELIEF EXPEDITION.
The Secretary of the Navy's Order to

Probably Fatally Burned.

A dispatch from North Bend, Neb.,
says: A terrible accident occurred in North
Bend on the End. Miss May Yardan was
raking and burning trash around the DOOR
yard when her clothes caught fire and were
burned entirely off her before assistance
could be rendered. When she discovered
that she was on fire she lost her presence Of
midd and rushed into the house, calling for
help. Her brother, Dan, was the only per-
son in the house, and he lac not yet got
up, but on hearing the alarm jumped up
and attempted to smother the fire out with
bed covers, but did not succeed until her
clothes were almost entirely burned. Her
flesh was burned to a crisp from her head to
her feet, butts did not inhale the fire and
is in good spirits, with the chances against
her recovery. Dan was badly burned about
the hands and face.

WIFE MURDER.
Another Horrible Crime Committed in
Iowa.

A special from Story county gives
details of a horrible crime committed neal
Roland. Edward Thompson, a young
Norwegian, went home intoxicated and
tried to shoot his wife, but was prevented
by his wife's sister, who succeeded in get
ting the revolver away from him. The
wife got out of doors and started
for a neighbours when he pursued her with
an axe, and. overtaking her, felled her to
the ground and repeated the blows four
times, each blow indenting ard fracturing
the skull. Supposing her dead, he ran
away. Til wife was found in a comatose
state. Two surgeons were called. and
worked for hours eXtricating pieces of skull
and relieving the pressure from the brain.
She rallied enough to recognize her own
name, and it is thought she has a chance,
though slight, Of recovery. Search was
made for Thompson, and it was discovered
that he had plunged head foremost into a
deep well, and thus ended his miserable
existence.

A Pretty Predicament.

"Meider."
There comes a time in the life Of
a mar whose besetting sin is charity
when he begins to wonder if it isn't
better to be cold blooded and frigid to
all whom he chances to meet. l have
a young friend who is just now think
ing over this proposition. His sympa-
thetic nature was played upon by the
ragged offscouring of the curbstone
who polished his boots daily. Although
this very charitable young man had no
superabundance of wealth, he had two
pairs of trousers. One pair vas of the
spic-and-span, latest cut, and costly
pattern. They had hung three days,
however, in his room, waiting for an
event on which he had set his heart.
The pair which he was wearing had
given away in several places to the
caresses of time. The other day, while
softened by the bootblack's poverty,
he gave him an order on his landlady
for II pair of trousers; his expecta-
ton at the time was to be at lis room
and shit the old for the new before the
wretch of the curbstone could deliver
the order. Later IN the day he went
to his room and Invested hiTself of the
ancient raiment. He saw his boy
down on the sidewalk, and thinking to
relieve him of a journey up stairs, he
pitched the trousers out of the window,
with the remark, "There they are"
He then went to his wardrobe for the
new attire, but nothing was there. He
searched the room without avail. He
hurried to the window to call back his
boy, but he had vanished. He locked
door and succeeded in rousing his
landlady, who had a keyhole inter-
view with him from the hall. She in
formed him that she had received his
note some time before, and had deliv- !
cred to the boy the articles mentioned.
The young man then realized that the
on the sidewalk to whom he had
thrown his old trousers was not the
one to whom he had given the order.

The Character Of Lincoln.

BlalneS BOOK.
''Mr. Lincoln" he says, "was cain
and p%hilosophic. He loved the trutI
for the truths sake. He would not ar
que from a false premise, or be deceived
himself or deceive others by a falst
conclusion. He had pondered on tht
issues which aroused him to action
He had given anxious thought to the
problems of free government and to the
destiny of the republic. He had fol
himself marked out a path of duty, and
walked in it fearlessly. His mental
processes were slower, but more pro-
found, than those of Douglas. He did
not seek to say merely the thing which
was best for that days debate, but the
thing which would stand the test of
time and square it with eternal Justice.
He wished nothing to appear white I'M
less it was white. His logic was severe
and faultless. He did not resort to
fallacy, and could detect it in his oppo-
nent, and expose it with merciless di-
r%ectness. He had an Astounding sense
OF humor, and always employed it in
illustration of his argument-never for
the mere sake of promoting merriment.
In this respect he had the wonderful
aptness of Franklin. He often taught
a great truth with the fellcitous brevitv
of an Esop fable. His words did not
flow with an impetuous torrent as did
those of Douglas, but they were always
well chosen, deliberate and conclusive.
''Mr. Lincoln united firmness and
g%entleness in a singular degree. He
rarely spoke Il harsh word. Ready to
hear argument and always open to
conviction, he adhered tenaciously to
the conclusions which he had finally
reached. Altogether modest, he had
confidence in himself, trusted to the
reasoning of his own mind, believed in
the correctness of his own judgment.
Many of the popular conceptions con
corning him are erroneous. No man
was farther than him from the easy,
familiar, jocose character in which he
is so often painted. While he paid lit
tie attention to form or ceremony, he
was not II man with whom liberties
could be taken. There was but one
person in Illinois, outside of his own
household, who ventured to address
him by his first anne. There was no
one IN Washington who ever attempt
ed it. Approaching wit and humor,
he relished a good story, especially if
illustrated n truth or strengthened
argument, and he had a vast fund
illustrative anecdote, which he used
with the happiest effect. But the long
list of vulgar, salacious stories attribut-
ed to him were retailed only by those
who never enjoyed the privilege of ex-
changing II word with him. His life
was, altogether, a serious one, inspired
by the noblest spirit, devoted to the
aims. Humor was but an Incl
lent with him, Il partial relief to the
melancholy which tinged all his years.
lie presented an extraordinary COM
of mental and moral qualities.
As Il statesman, he had the Hottest
deal, and it fell to his lot to inaugu-
ate measures which changed the fate

GREAT CONFEDERATION.
mama the Scene of n $500, 900 Blaze.

A terrible fire ragged at Panama or
the 2Sth. No water was available. TIL,
market and two blocks of houses were to.
tally destroyed. During the progress OF
the fire a large mob of men, a portion OF
them armed with revolvers and machetes,
did considerable plunderlng, aud many OF
them became intoxicated. The soldiers
were called out, but luarreled among them
selves. The owners of the burning prop
erty then fired on the plunderers, killing
several OF them.
LATER.-The damage is now estimated
1t $500, 900. Houses were demolished to
check the progress Of the fires During the
early part Of the fire there was n perfect
fusilade Of Chinese crackers, with an oc-
c~asional heavy explosion. Most of the
buildings burned were of wood, and near
ly all contained stores of petroleum, spir-
It's and gunpowder. One soldier is said TO
have been shot dead for disobeying orders.
An Italian fell into the flames and persisted.
