under free trade, dear goods under protec-
ton; and goods at half price simply means
double wages. The speaker continued:
"A few words about surplus revenues of Gov
ernment and am DONE OF course they were
produced by excessive taxation, and can only
be properly stopped by a reduction of taxes
We can not lock up hundreds of millions in the
treasury with bankrupting people by depriving
them of their circulating medium. There
fore, nothing remains that I can see
except to reduce taxes to point
needed for the wants of the Govern
ment. If Congress has not sense enough to do
that and am afraid it has not, rather than
have the money locked up, the appropriation
increased, or extravagant premium paid, shall
propose, before this Congress adiourns, to loan
the surplus at, say, two per cent per annum to
any one who will deposit the outstanding Az or
fourper cent. bonds of United States as security,
apportioningthe amount loaned in the first in
stance among the States in proportion to popu-
lation, and authorizing either party to cancel
the transaction by giving the other six months
not take this proportion, I would, after ninety
days, make it free for all"
The next toast was sThe Public Lands:
the Peoples Heritage for Homes,n to which,
at the request of President Newberry, w
A. j. Sparks responded. That gentleman
contrasted the Republican and Democratic
platforms of 1884 and the public domain
OF the Republican administration of land
grants to railway corporations, setting
forth, in the opinion of the speaker, whole
sale swindles upon actual settlers and
those who would otherwise have become
actual and productive settlers. He re-
viewed the homestead and pre-emption
laws and the whole history of the land
question from the I" ordinance of 17S7 - to
the election of President Cleveland.
Ed. s. Bragg. of Wisconsin, responded to
the toast of the president of the United
States" General Bragg said that in the
early years of Democratic rule the laborer
received his just reward, but it was not so
| at present Then the broad acres of the
public domain were open to the actual set
tier. To-day they found labor discordant.
This was the result of Republican rule, the
dynasty of which PARTY ended upon
the election of Grover Cleveland. His cleo
| ton, however, was not complete victory,
for the Senate of the United States was
not, as now constituted, in favor of reform,
and he was therefore greatly handicapped.
But he had already proved himself equal
to the great occasion. If professional
politicians did not find a champion in
him the sober, honest, thinking people
were ready to applaud his acts. Applause.
The people of the United States to-day
were seeking for economical truth, hence
this was the day when revenue reform
would be likely to win victory. He pre-
dicted that Cleveland would be succeeded

however, could purchase $4,000
worth Of supplies there for 5000, but,
counting on the tariff, he found that he
would be able to purchase the $1,000 worth
of goods for 5000 in this country, and,
tariff considered, he would lose some 5000
by the operation. Some one got the $1,000,
probably the members of the House who
voted for protection. Free trade produces
no revenue. Prohibitory protection pro-
duces none. The only difference between

lie Grande Young, Esq, appeared in
Commissioner McKay's court this morn

Treseder and Mr.. John A. Egbert, friend
OF policeman Bateman, and requested
that Treseder's bonds be reduced,
and that the above-named parties be
taken as sureties. The Commissioner
refused to change the bail and also de-
clined to accept Treseders brothers-in-
as bondsmen, but consented to take Eg-
bert to the extent of $4,000. Mr.. Young
took the matter before Judge Zane, but
obtaining no satisfaction there, he again
returned TO the Commissioner. Efforts
were being put forth to secure
the remainder OF the $1,000 bonds, but up
to late hour no favorable results were
reported. One party importuned, claims
to have been solicited by one Of the city
police, but we heard nothing conclusive
on the matter. There seems, however,
to be a general desire in certain locality
to obtain Treseder's liberty, but, OF
course, it would be too palpable break
to bring forth prominent citizens like
Royal B. Young and Alfred Solomon.

A Street.Car Accident.

An accident occurred on one OF the
street-cars yesterday afternoon which
should prove an impressive lesson to the
car-drivers in the matter OF carelessness.
An old lady desiring to alight from the
Eleventh ward car rang the bell when
near the crossing by the Theatre, and
claims to have experienced considerable
difficulty in getting the driver to stop the
car, resulting in the lady having to
alight in the muddy street instead of on
the crossing. Just rs she reached the
position of having one foot in the mud
and the other on the platform OF the car,
it is stated by several eye-witnesses and
the lady herself, that the driver threw off
the brakes and allowed the mules to dash
ahead at lively speed, precipitating
her to the ground in an awkward and
dangerous fall. By the ENHANCEMENT of
her clothing, or in some other manner,
she became fastened to the platform OF
the car, and was dragged through the
mud for some distance. The lady had
fallen on her back, and when assisted to
Mrs. Croxalls residence, near by, was
found to have sustained u very painful
sprain of the back, which has quite pros
trated her. She feels quite indignant at
the treatment of the car-driver, and will
probably not patronize the street line
until more courteous persons are en-
ployed. Her clothing was literally COW
cred with mud, and some OF it almost
ruined,

WASHINGTON, February An the Senate
to-day prayer was.offered by Rev. r. Dewitt
Talmage, of Brooklyn.
The Chair laid before the Senate letter
from the Secretary of the Treasury in reply
to recent resolution of the Senate relating
to the conscience fund" The "conscience
fund, the Secretary says, chad its origin
in the popular belief that the donations of
money received were wrongfully withheld
from the government. The first item to the
credit fund was made in 1927, and the
fnnd now amounts TO S222, 49,"
Among the memorials presented and an.
propriately referred was one by Sewell, con
sisting of concurrent resolution of the

denial of the power of Congress- to grant
such authority
Several petitions were presented from or

Lewis Morrison,s "Hazel Kirke..

"Hazel Kirke," as presented by the
Lewis Morrison Company at the Theatre
last evening, was probably the strongest
and best sustained Of any OF the plays
that have been presented on our
stage by that company. Lewis Morrison,
in his personation OF Dunstan Kirke, the
iron-willed Scot, showed himself to be an
actor OF fine ability, and electrified the
audience with his touching cry Tor help
when he knew Hazel was drowning, and
he in his blindness was unable to save her
To those who have seen G. w. Couldock
in the character of Dunstan Kirke the
part was considered to be equally sus.
tanned by Mr.. Morrison, and during the
last two acts there was scarcely dry eye
in the entire audience.
Miss Rose Wood in her rendition oil
Hazel Kirke sustained the part in her
usual able manner, and put great deal
of reality into her acting. The other
characters were fairly presented, and in
every feature the play was creditable tc
the company.
