Ad Exciting Episode in the German
Reichstag During a Tariff
Debate.
GO sboN cERTAINLY DEAD.

BERfiS, February H.--Quite an exciting
sceneteOk place in the Reichstag last even
ing, during the debate on the subject Of in
creasing the duty on cereals. While Bis
marck was speaking in favof of raising the
duty on wheat to marks, he noticed
commotion among the few German liberal
and Socialist members who occupied seats
on the left of the house. Becoming in
dignant at the noise, he stopped for mo.
ment, and then pointing in. the direction of
the offending members, said, Mischief is
your tactics" Cries arose from the Left,
This is monstrous. You will then say we
foretold the people would not suffer from
this blood tax" Deafening tumult ensued,
and it was some moments before order was
restored.
Another report says Prince Bismarcks
speech during the debate on the bill proviG-
ing for an increase of duty on cereals was
one of the most fiery the Chancellor has in
dulged in for long time lie roundly de-
nounced the members who opposed the
measure, and asserted that their utterances
in opposition to the bill were either false, dis.
torted or exaggerated while these men"
said the Chancellor, "play upon the minds
Of the workmen and small farmers with
their false doctrines, disseminating their
reasonable views and putting wrong con-
struction on every measure introduced for
the general welfare of the people, it is i'm
possible to have unity or any semblance OF
accord amongst the classes"
Prince Bismarck, here pointing directly
at the Left, launched forth bitter invectives
at the members OF that section Of the Reich.
He worked himself into such an excited
state, and spoke with such feeling, that it
was apparent to thse present that the imam
OF iron" was thoroughly aroused.
Raising his voice TO the highest pitch he
shouted, rather than spoke, with his arm
still stretched in the direction of the Left:
81 see nothing but mischief in the tactics OF
the members of the Left, which can bode no
good either for their constituents or coun-
Try"
This remark caused decided sensation
in the Chambers. In an instant several
members of the wing thus accused by the
Chancellor were on their feet denouncing
his remarks as monstrous and unwarranted,
adding, "If we voted for the measure you
would then charge US of having foretold the
people that they would not suffer by this
blood tax you seekto impose" ......
A deafening tumult followed these re-
marks. Members jumped uopn the ben hes
and howled ike madmen. For while a
veritable pandemonium prevailed Order
I was finally restored, but not until some OF
the members were threatened with eXpul'
sion did matters quiet down so as to admit
of the transaction of any further business

The Naval Commissioners I'm Favor Of the
Purchase OF n Monster.
WAsHRGToS, February 1.-THE Senate
Naval Committee has advised the purchase
Of Captain John Esicsson's Destroyer" for
$4,000, with the privilege Of buying also
the patents relating to the vessel for $780,
600 more The vessel is intended for hsr-
Dor defense, and the action Of the gun it
carries is submarine. The vessel is, in fact,
only the carriage for the gun, which is 80
feet long. l6 inches aperture and carries q
projectile 25 feet long, weighing l,45O
pounds. The explosive charge is 300 pounds
Of gun cotton. The range is limited, and
the discharge must take place within 800
feet of the enemy's ship. Thick armor is
thus necessary Tor the Destroyer. There
has been and is much difference Of opinion
among naval officers as to the value OF
Eioson's invention Tie fact that he has
conducted at his own expense long series
of useful experiments, Of which the Govern
ment has partially reaped the benefit, and
further, the remembrance of the inYalu-
able services of his monitor" during the
war, have doubtless had much to do with
inelining the committee to recommend the
purchase and trial of his new engine

A Well 6Ierited Tribute to ex-senator
Davis Record.
To the Editor Of the Register.

To the Editor o. he hf9tster.
PErERsBURG, W. Va, February l4.-In
the communication of your Washington
correspondent. which appeared iu Your is
sue of the 18th inst, reference is made to
the personal relations of Hon. II. S. Davis
with Messrs. Blaine and Elkins, as standing
in the way of his selection as member OF
Mr.. Cleyelands Cabinet.
Whatever may be the force of this objec-
ton in the mind Of Mr.. Cleveland, review
of Mr.. Davis career, from his first entrance
in public life until the present time, will
be sufficient vindication. During the
whole of that time, from his election
to the West Virginia Legislature
till the completion Of his second
term in the United States Senate
and up to the present hour even an enemy
cannot point to spot where be swerved
from true party fidelity. As United States
Senator he constantly grew in the admira-
ton and confidence of the people; and when
he declined to become candidate for the
third time it was widely felt, and is still felt
that the State suffered an irreparable loss.
II must not be forgotten, too, how, through
long years in which hope for the Democrat
ic party seemed dead in West Virginia, Mr..
Davis labored in the face Of difficulties
that appeared insurmountable. Now, when
good men are disposed to give up, he toiled
on, and BY the inspiration sf his exam
pie kindled hope. He never ceased
until be saw the State relieved Of the fear
ful incubus of ofRepubhcan prescription. and
in the accomplishment Of this he can say
with honest pride QaoyWm pGrS magma
fG. To Mr.. Davis more than to any other
man does the State of West Virginia owe
il that she is to-day Democratic, and the
uctory Of last October decided the fate Of
Mr. Cleveland If West Virginia had then
gone Republican Mr.. Cleveland would not
now be looking forward to his Inauguration
ON the 4th Of March.
In the interest of truth and right these
things ought to be remembered; and surely
Il is passing strange that the personal rela-
tious of Mr.. Davis with Republican friends,
howey v prominent should be perverted
into en- offset against his honorable career
and conspicuous services. He bore the
burden and heat Of the day when loud talk
ers now were reclining in the shade, and the
State looks upon him today as one Of her
purest and greatest statesman. Il is not
known that Mr.. Davis desires place in Mr..
! CleYeland's Cabinet, but it is believed that
| West Virginia, which led the van in the
great struggle and so largely contributed to
I the great victory, is entitled to prominent
recognition. And 1t is also believed that
honor, whatever it may be, IS due Mr..
Davis. f.E ~
