TARIFF FOR ENGLAND.
Proposed Retaliation on Countries Levying
Duties on English Goods.

Proposed Retaliation Countries Levying
Duties on English Goods.
LONDON, Dec. 30.-The Cabinet has reached a
decision on the tariff question. A bill is to be
prepared for introduction into Parliament, au-
thorizing the imposition of duties on imports
into Great Britain from countries imposing
duties on imports from Great Britain.
The measure will be founded on the report of
Lord Iddesleighs Commission on Trade, which
finds: First, that English depression is due
primarily to foreign competition, and disposes
of the previously accepted doctrine of excep-
tional causes such as temporary overstocking
second that successful foreign competition re

and necessaries is proportionately greater than
that Of wages, the standard Of wages being kept
low by the effects on British industries of for
eign competition; fourth that wide distress pre-
walls in the manufacturing districts, resulting
from dearth of employment and inadequate
wages for those who are employed.
Inc government recognizes the fact that a
system OF purely protective duties will not be
sanctioned by public opinion. A cautious
arrangement of the import tariff, with view of
compelling producing countries to concede fav-
oraole treatment to British products, is de-
manded by powerful and growing commercial
element by the middle classes generally, and

masses.
There is little expectation that the measure
can be proceeded with before Parliament has
disposed of the Irish question, but its introduc-
tion IL some form or other is certain. Tariff re-
adjustment is now fully recognized as the third
best card in the hands of the Ministry and
probably the best of all for an electoral cam
paign.

Numerous meetings are being held and resolu-
tions passed in all parts of the country strength
ening the hands of the government in introduc-
ing legislation to secure better terms for the ex-
portation of British goods to foreign countries.
The Cabinet consists mainly of professed free
traders. The ground taken is that the present
hscal system gives free trade to the producing
countries selling their goods to Great Britain
and denies free trade to British products enter
ing those countries. This is not free trade. but
refusal of free trade fraught with mischief to
England's most important material interests.

true interests of the freest trade at home and

THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.

Expectation that the List VIII BE Completed
by the End of the Week
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30-It is expected that
Speaker Carlisle will be ready to announce the
committees of the House. at the close Of the
present week. Naturally, a great deal Of inter-
est is manifested in this matter. The modifcar
tlon OF the rules of the House gives ground for
the hope that more work may be done than the
mere passage of the appropriation bills at this
session, and for this reason. if for none other,
the personnel of the important committees is a
matter of grave interest. besides this, several
committees which have had in the past little to
do beside preparing reports for the congressional
waste basket have this year to pass upon the
important appropriation bills. Hence their
duties become far more interesting to members
than they have been in the past
Mr.. Carlisle will undoubtedly form his com-
mittee on ways and means of very much the
material that chosen by him in the
Forty-eighth Congress. The appropriations
committee will be presided over by Mr. Randall;
but it is likely that his associates of year ago
will be distributed among the other committees
having charge of appropriation bills. Upon the
action of the Speaker with reference to the ma
val committee rests the question whether or not
the United States Navy shall be rehabilitated,
and it will remain for the committee coinage.
weights and measures to decide whether or not
the coinage of the standard silver dollar at the
rate of 81 00O 600 per month shall continue.
In the Forty eighth Congress this committee was
composed largely Of the advocates of silver, and
consequence no measure looking toward the
suspension of the coinage of that metal was ac-
corded even a hearing. 1t is said by gentle
man who is in a position to know
whereof he speaks that Mr.. Carlisle has
declared himself in favor of a
temporary suspension at least If this be so he
will undoubtedly arrange this important COM
mittee so as to give the bi-metalists, and those
who believe that silver is being~acoined too
rapidly for the needs of the country, chance to
be heard, at least, on the floor of the House; but
it is not thought that the Speaker will have
courage enough to take radical step as to
depose Mr.. Bland from the craftsmanship, and if
the author of the coinage law at present in force
is again placed at the head of the coinage COM
mttee he will undoubtedly use his power once
more to prevent legislation of any kind upon the
silver question.

KILLING CATTLE AND HOGS.


The Improved Methods Employed by Prac-
ticed Butchers.
The killing of cattle is usually at
tended with an altogether unnecessary
degree of cruelty. Not inrequently a
number of heavy blows upon the fore
head of a beast fails to even stun it, but
every one of the blows inllicts needless
suffering. DR.. Phares relates a case
which illustrates this: "An old polled
beef-animal was tied and received many
heavy blows in the face from a heavy
AK welded by athletic arms of several
parties in succession without bringing
him down. A slender, feeble man, dis,
gusted at the awkward cruelties prac-
ticed, seized the implement and with a
light blow downward and forward Just
back of the head deprived the animal OF
feeling and life as completely and in
stantly as though q thunderbolt had
passed through the brain. The gaping
crowd that had assembled looked in
blank amazement as if themselves
thunderstruck."
The cause of the instant death of the
animal was that the blow was struck in
the right place and in the right direc-
ton to reach the ''vital knot which is
that bit of gray matter found where the
brain is contracted to pass from the
skull into the backbone. A slight cut,
or blow, or a single electric spark
touching this causes instant death of
all parts of the animal. In some of the
larger slaughter-houses in Chicago this
medulia Oblongata is reached by the
sharp point of a heavy steel lance, given
by man who walks along plank over
the heads of the cattle as they await

become by much practice, but with a
single light touch of the steel puts an
instantaneous end to all sensation in the
beast.
In other houses a rifle is carried by
the man on the plank over the stalls.
A bullet from this enters the BRAIN
tearing its way downward and instantly
destroying life in that organ. There
can be no suffering; death is as sudden
