TO be his most eloquent eulegy.
It is well known that there was net the best

1865, the latter arrived at Milliken's Bend, La,
to assume command Of the army, supersediDg

scented that would have been seized upon by
smaller mind TO parade his grievance. BHs
General Sherman was not that sort OF man.

sentiment. It VIII be observed that the gen

WASHINGTON. Feb. 7-SOme time ago Chairman
Morrison was reported as saying that he could
make a good tariff bill in twenty minutes" Some
men, who have examined the bill, are disposed 70
believe that Colonel Morrison Overstated the time
He has, however, come to the conclusion that per
haps the measure may be improved In some re-
spects and he offered no objection to-day to prop
osition that the committee shall devote four
days to listening to the representatives or
the cotton, woOllen, iron and steel, earthenware,
and glassware industries The schedule or cotton
goods is thus to be considered on February 13;
wool and woollens on February IA; metals on Feb
ruary 49, and earthenware and glassware on Foo
ruary IS. No understanding was had respecting
the other schedules but it is expected that persons
interested in them Will be gwen hearing if they
ask for it, 1t is not probable, therefore, that tho
bill will be reported TO the House earlier than tho
beginning of March.
MR. HEWITT TO TRY HIS HAND.
II is now well understood that Abraham $. Hew-
lit is so seriously impressed with the imperfectons
of the bill that he has about concluded to prepare
new bill and submit it to the committee. Ii is said
Mr. Hewitt thinks he can make a bill which VIII
receive the approval Of large majority OF tho
committee.
The Richmond Dispatch to-day continues its hostils
criticisms of the Tariff bill. 1t says To pro-
pose horizontal reduction is to confess that tns
Republican tariff is model one-so good that aif
you have to do in order to get another model oxe
is to make the same reduction on every article, and
this not because the tariff is too high, but in order
to reduce the revenues of the Government. Mr.
Morrison's bill makes the Morrill, tarih
its model in another respect, and proposes
that an article shall be taxed less
than that tariff taxed it. That antquated measure
is the standard for Democratic Congress 10 WoIk
up to- And this is the measure whose importance
is so great that the Democratic party must Ds re1s
in twain in order that that measure may he passe1
by the House Representatives merely 10 oe klneo
by the Senate"
DEMOCRATIC ORGAN DISTURBED.
After reference to the wool tariff and the fses
that the Democrats in Ohio took advantage OF tbs
reduction of the wool duties TO secure Republican
votes last year, the editorial concludes:
But why disturb the tariff at all.

and exrlain that it does not mean destruction to

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA bill to provide suitabls

Congress is to be pushed to vote. In the Senate
to-day Mr. Morrill, introduced the same bill wh,eh
was passed by that body last year, but which failed
TO receive the assent of the House. lie spoke
at length of the necessity of taking soma
action upon the matter and he secured the assent or
the Senate TO make the bill special order for Tuas
day. He pointed out that in the present Library
there was shelf room for 100000 volumes only,
while the number of books on hand January j
1884 amounted to 5l3,44l, not including some
1865 900 pamphlets The number of copyright articles
alone received in 1ss2 was 26,6S3 and since then IL
has scarcely been less There are no readlng-roons
no rooms for the display of manuscripts of maps Of
the graphic arts, for even the official adninls-

The danger from fire. too, should hasten action on
the part of Congress. Though the present Library
is what is commonly called fre-proof, il is clear
that spark would be sutficieLt TO COR
