MORRIS0N'S TARIFF BILL
Liable 10 an Early Burial by the Ways
and Means Committee.

LIaDIe 10 an Early burIhI Dy INC way .
and Means Committee.
Mr.. Morrison's tariff bill does not seem
to have much prospects of getting beyond
the confines Of the Ways and Means Com.
mittee, to which il was referred. The
Star commenting upon it thinks it is
moderate measure, but that its temperate
character will not p.acate the opponents OF
tariff reduction. With these gentlemen it
it is not question Of per centsges and de-
tails, but OF principle. They do not pro,
pose TO have existing schedules altered, and
will be deaf to all entreaty to relax the
the rates even where change seems to be
in the line of reason and good policy.
Their watch word is mo tinkering with the
tariff" and 1t looks now as ii in this sign
they would conquer.
The Morrison bill cannot he said to favor
eny locality or shirk the difficulties that
lie in the path of reducing duties. 1t hits
the iron industries Of Pennsylvania
heavily, OF course, but that State would
not be by any means the only sufferer.
Ohio, Louisiana, Michigan, California, the
rice States, and even Kentucky are struck
in their "local issues in a manner to
arouse antagonism. The bill does not
have much show Of getting through the
committee. and its prospects Of success
when reported to the House are even less.

MUST PAY THEIR DEBTS.
Legislation Against the Union Pacific
Railroad,

Congressman Anderson, of Kansas, has
introduced bill intended 10 prevent the
Union Pacific people from freezing out
the Government loan, with which it was
mainly built. 1t is generally believed here
that Mr.. Gould proposes eventually to
wreck the road and cause it 10 be sold on
the first mortgage, buying it in himself,
and thereby wiping out over SlW,OO,oOO
Indebtedness to the United States, which
is only secured by second mortgage. Mr..
Anderson's bill provides that when either
of the railroad companies so indebted to
the United States on second mortgages
shall fail to keep up the interest on their
first mortgage bonds the Attorney General
shall apply for a receiver, who shall there
after manage the road, under the direction
of the Secretary OF the Interior, until the
debt TO the United States is paid. There
are various details, but the above is the
general scope OF the bill. Ian.

SrEUBENvILLE, o., February 9.-Reports
of flood disaster continue to reach this city
from all points near. The story is the
same-homes made desolate and water on
every hand. In this city the water IS still
recedipg, and by the morrow those VINO
have homes can commence to put them
in order and clean the mud and filth out.
The small losses in this city, compared to
our sister cities, speaks well of SteubenVllls
as manufacturing point. The Panhandle
car shops in this city present deserted ap-
pearance, all hands being at work on the
washout at Mingo, where they are working
night and day to open traffic West. Inc
loss to the glass.pot works OF this city Is
$500. AtMcCoy 5 Station on the Cleveland
& Pittsburg, Miner, Porter & Co.'S BRICK
works suffer loss of $1,000 while the Cal
umet works suffer $4,000 loss, Captain
O'Neal, of the O'Neal, who took chartered
load of passengers to Wheeling, says that
in some places the river is SIX miles WIDE.
Shutter q Co.'S foundry at New Cumoer-
land Is a complete loss, 1000; King, the
gardener near This city, will lose ABOUT
$1,000. Relief committees report every
thing necessary being done for the needy,
numbering nearly one hundred. AT War
renton, this county, % houses we're entire
ly swept away.
Council is severely criticised for appro-
priating only 5000 for flood sufferers.
Their excuse was that it could not be done
legally. The Mingo Iron Furnace expects
to start up tomorrow. Captain Carleton
Cable, who pilots the towYoat George
Roberts, landed at Brilliant, below this
city, and teleersphed the safety OF the tow
to the owners in Pittsburgh. At Wells
burg the river extends from hull to
hill, When the flood struck Brilliant,
it swept through the streets taking mum.
her of houses from their foundations. At
Wellsburg the whole town was Hooded up
to the second stories of the highest built
houses, and the natural gas was extin-
suished. The people are in deplorable
condition. The Cleveland and Pittsburgh
tracks are now above water, and wrecktng
trains will be at work to morrow.

SIIIalllR

ADRIAN, Mich, February lO.-Some
months since Frank Howell, a son of re-
spectacle parents in this city, married an
inmate of Peck's Hotel, house OF unen-
viable reputation here. The marriage
caused much trouble, as Howell's parents
objected to the woman. He soon saw he
had made a terrible mistake, and took
more deeply to degrading ways, until in
fit Of despair he enlisted in the Cnited
States service, and was stationed with his
regiment at st. Louis. In October he de.
serted and came home, walking nearly all
the way. On his arrival here he took to
hiding until he became desperate, ana
tried 10 give himself up to the local officers
at ST. Louis.
For some reasons he was not appreheni-
ed, and meanwh hile his dependency became
greater. He would frequently exclaim, II
sm ruined and / wish was out OF the
way" Yesterday morning he was sitting
in The house with his mother when he
suddenly exclaimed, Mother, am going
and falling in coavulsions, expired. To-
day it has been generally conceded that he
died from = dose OF strychnine which he
took with suicidal intent.

MRS. HowEs BATTLE HYMN.

The greatest poem of the war was writ
ten at Washington by Julia Ward Howe,
under the title of "The Battle Hymn of
the Republic" 1t is sung t. the tune of
"John Brown" and commences, mine
eyes have seen the glory of the coming
of the Lord" Mrs. Howe wrote it early
one morning, and it ia said she penned it
with her eyes shut. The night before
she had been out riding in the country
near Washington and her party had mar
rowly escaped being captured by troop
OF Confederates. As they came into
Washington they sang John Browns
Body" and the tune kept ringing in Mrs.
| Howe's head all night. When she awoke
before daylight she began to make verses
to it, and in the fear that she would for
get them she wrote them of, according
TO habit she had formed to save her
eyes, without looking at the paper. Mrs.
Howe is still living and she ranks among
the leaders of the woman's rights move
ment. Speaking of John Browns
| Body" the tune itself is an old Methodist
camp meeting tune and the words We're
adapted to it by glee club of Boston in
1861. 1t was first published at Charles
town, Mass. Captain James Greenleaf,
an organist of the Harvard Church, set
the notes for music and Massachusetts,

ing them at Fort Warren in 1861.

ney. Running short Of stores they were
obliged to put in Mt Samas, where q

tanned; the remainder Of the passage
was attended with heavy weather, and
the vessel became water-logged, only
reaching Sydney after a perilous journey
of eighty days. Owing to the extreme
length of the voyage their provisions ran
out, and men, women and children were
reduced to an exclusive diet of cocoanut /;
and owing to the scarcity of these the
quantity apportioned was in the rro-
portion of one cocoanut to each adult.
Notwithstanding this diet, wholly un-
relieved by any change, not life was
lost and not single case of illness oc
CURED, all the passengers landing in Il
healthy and well-nomished condition.
Another instance is mentioned in which
two men drifted in whale-boat upon
Quarie Island, where they remained for
seven years before they We're rescued.
They had no food except cocoanuts, varied
by an occasional flying fish, and yet,
when rescued were in excellent con-
| dition, and had gained in weight.

THE CIGARETTE LUXURY,

We have taken pains to tell our readers
what cigarettes are made of. The state
ments were based ON well.linown facts.
which are continually corroborated by Incl
dental evidence like the following. Says q
New York city exchange;
little red-headed Italian boy, who gave
his name as Francis Chicabau, and who said
he was eight years oid, was brought before
Justice White at the Harlem Police Court
recently, charged with being a vagrant. He
was barefooted and hal on ragged clothing.
He spoke English very imperfectly. The
officer said he found the boy gathering
cigar-stumps from the gutter and sidewalks,
aud showed Justice White q basket half
filed with the butts of old cigars covered
with mud and water-suaked.
"What do you do with them " asked the
justice.
81 sell them to man for ten cents n
pound" replied the boy; "but I don't
know his name, and they are used in
making cigarettes, like they sell in all the
stores"
The officer corroborated the child's state-
ment, and said that there were many bows
and girls securing the city in search OF
stumps and balf-smoked cigars. These
were first dried and then sold to yarious
persons who used them in making cigar.
