The Morrison Rnl Merely Introduced
10 Get the Tariff Bill Before the
House.
Tariff reformers in the House are quoted
as being confident of their ability TO pass
bill through the house, but hardly ex,
pect to get it through the Senate. One
prominent supporter OF Mr.. Carlisle, speak
ing of the Morrison bill, said:
at is simply our basis OF action. 1t was
introduced to get the subject fairly before
the House. We intend to change the bill
very materislly. For instance, there are
many articles that ought to be reduced
more than 90 per cent and there are others
thst perhsps ought not to be cut down
that much. Our purpose is to cheaper
those commodities which are necessary to
the masses OF the people, We intend to
cut at least $50, ,OooO)O of the tariff and
believe we will cut down internal revenue
$50, OoO. 900 or $40. 100000. Many members
of the House are in favor of
Abolfshing the Tax On Tobacco,
and my opinion is that it will be done.
We shall pass q bill reducing our redun-
dant revenue by sso. .OOO, 900 or SIC, O,Ool, 900
and lesseping the cost of many articles
necessary to the great msiority Of the
people; to those classes that are not rich.
Then let the Republican Senate or the Re-
publican President take the responsibility
Of defeating such Q bill. We ask no better
issue than will be thus afforded rs to make
the Presidential fight upon. The people,
the voters, look to the Democratic ma siori
ty here to tighten the burden OF taxstion,
and We must show our willingness to do
that we'cannot, if We desired 10, avoid
the tariff question"

in great distress themselves the people
were
Very Modest and Generous- Hearted.
Three-fourths Of these people were home
less. Every habitable house had from four
to six families in it, yet "Msbbe thar's
others down the river worse off than Us"
and they would only take ton Of supplies.
At the next stop, Middleport, o., the
boat found the greatest demand. Middle.
port lies within q couple of miles of the
lower end Of Pomeroy bend. Within the
bend, twelve miles long, there are twelve
villages and towns, with Z, 800 people desti-
titute depending on charity for food and
clothing, many Of them homeless. They
are chiefly ccal mining and salt making
towns, have q large poor class living in
cottages along the river fats.

Racine, o, 500; Antiquity; O., 500; Middle
New Haven, w. Va, 800. About 500
houses have been swept out of the bend
and 5000 people are thrown out OF employ
ment by the stoppage Of the various in
dustries.
At Middleport, where We touched first,

The relief boat from Gsllipolis was their
chief refuge until the government expedi-
ton came along. Every store and business
house in Middleport was flooded and all
lost heavily. The water never reached
them before, and they had made no prep
srations this year. Out of all the houses
in the municipality only twenty-five es-
csped inundation. The boat put off about
thirty tons at Middleport, and will work
in TIE Pomeroy bend likely for a day or
two or possibly longer, as the situation

meat in Gallipolis. The merchants are

The Ohio State fund is confined to the

and, with the church, thilteen dwelling
and one school house, have been trans
formed into one conglomerated mass of de
bris, 500 yards below the town, and of the
remainder there is not one vestige left:
Nothing is left Of the farms and gardens
from which the townspeople obtained their
subsistence but one mammoth field cover
ed with ariftwood, 80 complete was the
work Of destruction. The interior OF the
church, located at the upper end OF the
town, indicates the water line, which ex-
tends almost to the ceiling. OF the people
themselves, it would require better pen
than mine to defcribe
Their ExceedingIy Deplorabie Condi-
lion.
Half starving, half clad, with no earthly
hope Of retrieving their lost property,
they wander about in mud five inches deep,
staring at the ruin wrought by the Hood.
The church affords tenn porary quarters for
many of the homeless. When the relief
boat stopped hungry looking crowd gazed
eagerly at the tempting load OF supplies.
"We have bnt one day s supply OF provi-
sions on hand" said II. Cochran, chairman
of the local Relief Committee "and had it
not been for your arrival | don't know
what would have become Of Us. We have
received some aid from Marietta aud else
the trouble. People who have money are
leaving and the town may never be restored
to its former condition" Over ton OF
supplies consisting of groceries, provisions,
bedding and clothing, in addition to some
cash, was leftlhsre. Among the suPptres
we found q toy to which was attached
letter stating that it was "a donation to
some poor child from George Gormly,
fve-yesr. old, from Allegheny" A young
stripping Of the same age got the toy, and
he felt
Bigger Than the whole Town.
and the fact is, he wasn't much smaller.
After relieving the immediate wants OF the
people here the boat proceeded down the
river to Marietta, where the devastation
was great, the damage being estimated at
S25O,OC0. About three hundred people are
homeless, but are being we'll cared for.
Harmar, across the river, is also great sui
ferer and in need of aid. The boat was ire.
quently hailed on the way down, but II
was impossible to stop at all points. The
Journey will be resumed TO morrow.
Commodore Donehoo has sent advices to
the second relief boat from Pittsburgh to
transfer supplies to this boat at Wheeling.

is TO the effect that he was present, Mr..

he went out to the hanging to hear what
the negro would confess, but as Mr.. Evans
filed 10 affidavit OF bis own in the matter
it was deemed best to give him chance to
