NEWS OF THE WEEK SUMMARIZED.
The Land Grant ForEeitures.

@AO A@oA A~
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Feb. 90
There has been a great deal of surprise ex-
pressed to-day at the promptness of the SEN
ate in voting on the Texas Pacific forfeiture
The expectation was that no vote would be
reached this session. 1t is said Senator
Beck's fierce attack on Morgan of Alabama
and other Democratic senators for delaying
action had its effect to bring on an immedi-
ate vote. Forfeiture men are jubilant at the
result, and feel sure that other triumphs will
follow. The house has already passed bills
forfeiting over fifty million acres of land,
with an average value. at the lowest est
mate, of $40 to $15 per acre, but owing
to the hardness of the senate, only one OF
these bills-the Oregon Central-has become
a law. The house started in at the beginning
of the Forty-eighth congress with a determi-
nation to forfeit ell the uneaTned lands held
by the railroad corporations. The public
lands committee, with Mr.. Cobb for chair
man, worked hard, and reported bills to the
house for forfeitlng over 100, 900, 900 acres
Their consideration was pressed upon the
house by Mr.. Cobb and Mr.. Payson, and bills
were passed last session declaring forfeite.i
seven small Southern grants, amounting in
all to about 5000, 900 acres, the
lCAdS L uSlllS lC,OOONOOO, NHC SAS-
gon Central 1000, 900, the California
l. Oregon 5000, 900, and the Atlantic Il
Pacific 80, 200, 600 acres The other for
FIXTURE bills, which forfeit about so, 1000, 600
acres, are on the house calendar. The sem
ate has acted very slowly upon these bills.
They passed the Oregon Central with an
amendment giving the railroad the lands CO.
terminous with their work at the end of the
time the entire work should have been COM
pleted. This the house agreed to do after
some prOteSUation, and the forfeiture, re-
duced to 1000, 600 acres, became a law.
The only others the senate has passed are the
Atlantic & Pacific, which they so amended
that it took from the bill it's whole character,
referring the matter to the court Of claims
for settlement, which amendment the house
would not agree to, and the bill cannot
become a law unless the senate recedes from
its position on the Texas Pacific bill yester-
day. Among the bills reported upon by the
house public lands committee, but not yet
acted upon by the house, is the Northern Pa
citic, amounting to 80, ZOO, 900 acres. All
the bills not receiving inal action will die
on the 4th of March. but they will be intro
duced into the next house, and being in such
a complete form they can then be acted
upon without much delay, the committee
considering them in merely a formal way.
The Texas land forfeiture bill, as passed by
the genate yesterday, meets with the Gp-
proval OF the house committee, and as soon
as the bill comes over to the house Mr.. Rea-
gan will move to concur in INC senate
amendments, n the bill will be sent TO the
president for his signature.

the Tariff.

NEW YORK, Special Telegram, Feb. 90
Prof. W. G. Sumner, of Yale college, and
Gen. Stewart l. Woodford of Brooklyn dis
cussed the tariff question for two hours this
evening IN the American Art association
rooms, Brooklyn. The debate was held
under the auspices of the Revenue Reform
club of that city, and attracted to the hall al
most twice as many people as could be &C
commodated- Two-thirds of the audience
had 20 stand throughout the debate, but
they listened attetively to the dis
cussion until the close. The question
was, Should the tariff avs of the
United States be for revenue onlyg"
Prof. Sumner argued in the affirmative, and
Gen. Woodford took the opposite view. The
Yale theorist consumed the first half hour of
the debate by stating his ~well-matured views
on The iniquity of the tariff system and the
necessity of an immediate return to a
free trade basis Throughout his discourse
he oliowed the same line OF argument
which he had used in all his public
speeches and pamphlets. Gen. Woodford
was roundly applauded as he stepped for
ward to the reading desk. For a tine he
confined himself 20 answering what Prof.
Sumner had called @the fundamental falla-
cies of protection" but afterward made a
general statement of the benefits of protec-
ton. He said in part:
I believe in the tariff because I am an Amer
lean, and have the good of the country at heart.
/ don't care to give our market over to the Inn
porters, and the nations wealth is great enough
and its industries strong enough to give
us a fair chance 70 strike the markets abroad in
return. When the iron industries OF Pennsyl-
vania and the cotton mills of New England are
sufficiently developed to allow us to compete with
European countries on their own ground, then
we shall be willing to let them compete with us
here. Until then we must have protection IL we
would have peace, comfort and cOntent-
ment among the working classes. The
second law that was passed by con-
gress In 1857 was to introduce a proper
tariff system. and It's preamble read In order to
develop and encourage American industries So
We started, and, after almost a CEN
world In everything. Wages are higher,
goods are cheaper and the people
are richer. Why2 Because the nation has fol-
lowed in the line marked out by that resolution.
So far as the present business depression is con-
cerned, i believe that it Is due to the con-
slant threat OF free traders and the constant
fear of the manufacturer and the importer of
radical changes In the tariff system Stop agita-
ton and prosperity will reign. IL this country
could have anything positively stable and settled
IN its financial and commercial legislation
iii we would have one system continuously
within twenty-five years America would control
the manufactures and business Of the world.
We are nearer 20 1t to-day than VIZ ever were,
and the advance has only begun.
In concluding, Gen. Woodford said:
The free traders have never dared to ask a vote
Of the country on the question. They are afraid
tx. Every time that II has been introduced they
have been repudiated by the voice of the people.

One of the principal reasons for the
success of the English Actor Irving, at
home and in this country, is said to be
due to 1.-THE gospel OF thoroughness, " as
exemplifsd in his system and manage
ment. The Chicago Times finds
the secret of MI. Irving's success in
the fact that he gives, as a rule, "ahar-
m~nious combination, in which there is
excellence in every element" and their
success proves that the failure of the
Legitimate drama is due to i'll balanc-
ed and poorly equipped dramatic COM
panies, and not to a decline in the
public taste. And u contemporary
truly says that IF stars and managers
do not learn the benefit of rounded
performances, carefully arranged seem
cry, close attention to minute details
and well balanced companies, from the
visit of Mr.. Irving, they are beyond
reform"

sas. Knowing Garland's fondness for
candy, he procured some caramels and
also some cubes of Of brown soap, which
when wrapped in their tissue paper pre-
cisely resembled to the eye the caramels.
Butler knew that if he tried to put the
cubes of soap4pff on Garland he would
fail, as the latter was, of course, on the
alert SO far as he was concerned. So
Voorhees,, of Indiana, who sits next to
Garland, was chosen for the confeder-
ate. Said Butler to Voorhees, Here are
two genuine earamels. These are cubes
of soap. GO to your seat, lay the soap
cubes on your desk, eat the genuine car
amels, put your trust in Providence, and
say nothing" Voorhees, did as he was
told. Garland observed the cubes on the
desk, aud saw that Voorhees, was eating
something with an evident relish.
Hello" said Garland "what are you
eating?" "Ive got a cold, and In eat
ing ome candy" replied VOORHEES,, very
much absorbed in some papers in his
hands. Garland looked at the counter
feits wistfully for a moment. Hum
he said, finally, as be picked one up;
"Ive got something of a cold myself"
and popped the piece of soap into his
mouth. There was q ~crunching of his
jaws and he saw he was caught. Voor-
hees watched him put out the tail
of his eye, as did a dozen others
of the old boys sitting around.
Garland knew he was under fire, but
he was determined not to finch. At
ter chewing his soap for a moment he
looked up at Voorhees, with the inimita-
BILE air of innocent earnestness that is
characteristic of him, and softly asked:
de you eat many of these things when
you have a cold?" As Garland kept
on chewing an almost impercepti-
BILE strip of lather formed On his lips.
Voorhees, became alarmed and went to
Butler. "The fellow is actually eating
that stuff. Why, it will kill him. won't
it," "No-o-o-o," drawled Butler; II
don't recken anything will kill that
man." Garland was game. He fin
ished his soap. and no man could say
that he looked as if he didn't enjoy II.

MISS CLEVELAND.

MISS CLEVELAND who nov presides at the
White House and does the honor for her
brother in a most acceptable manner, is q
woman Of decided intellectual force. The
Evangelist thus speaks Of her attachments:
We gave at the time a brief abstract Of
an address which Miss Cleveland made be-
fore the alumne of Elmira Female College
at the commencement in 1882. The topic
was "Altruistie Faith" Of all the addresses
given during the quarter OF a century Of the
college by many Of our ablest men, such as
Prot. Epson, Dr.. Walcott Calkius, Dr.. Ly-
man Abbott, and the editor Of the Evauge.
list, this was pronounced second to none of
them, and for practical adaptation TO
the young ladies, the best. She
illustrated her subject by Chadija, the
wife Of Mohsmmed, who believed in him
when all men despised him, and whose faith
in him made him what he became. Every
one must have his Chadijs. There is need
OF faith in God, faith in sell, and faith in hu-
manity. She would be hopeful, aud not
pessimistic. Marriage was not necessary
for a woman; she need not be simply q but
tOnhole bouquet for some man. If good is
in one, it will come out. Go on and you
will succeed. The boosters, she said, are
more important than the boosted.
In looks Miss Cleveland reminds one of
Anna Dickinson, perhaps because she wears
her hair in the same style. Yet there is
nothing mannish about her, and in private
she is rather too modest than otherwise.
Her voice Is clear, and her articulation dis
tinct, making her fine speaker.
