The Continuation Of Senator
Chase'S Speech.
TIE REPUBLICAN TARIFF BILL.
The Nicaragua Canal Bill In the
House-0ther GENERAL
Business,
TIE REPUBLICAN TARIFF BILL
SENA TE.

WASHINGTON, October II The Senate
resumed the consideration of the tariff
bill.
Chase continued the speech which he
began yesterday. The Democratic
party, he said, had formulated and
placed before the country proposition
to the effect that the method OF reduc-
ton should be to reduce the taxes on
articles Of general consump ion. The
Republican party had anfagonized
that proposition and Insisted that the
duty on Il large proportion o. articles
necessary for human life should not be
reduced, but should be increased
and that taxation was benefit and not
an Injury to the people of the country.
That was the great issue TO be consid-
cred by the people.
Hawley said he was g 'ad that the sen
ate bill had been reported. tie thought
that very good bill perhaps the best
first draft OF tariff bill yet presented.
AT the close of Ohace's remarks Dolph
said some anxiety was felt on the
northern Pacific coast in regard to the
provisions of the Senate bill as to the
tariff on coal, and asked Allison ii the
Senate bill put coal on the free list i'll
any form.
Allison said he had several inquiries
in the same direction. Coal SLACK, or
culm of coal. was put on the free list,
but that Was one of the mistakes in the
bill and should have been corrected be-
fore the bill was reported. 1t was the
intention of the tinance committee. lat
least of the majority that coal slack.
or culm, should pay duty, as low, or
perhaps an increased duty. The COM
mittee proposed to put all coal on the
dutiable list at the rate now provided
by law, Is cents per ton. Tint is one
of the amendments which the COM
mittee will propose at the proper time
Call reviewed Plstts' argument yes
terday as to the sectional conspiracy

Reagan next addressed the Senate.
He favored the House bill as against
the Senate bill. though he would not
say Ae would vote for every
item in one or against every
item in the other. In the course
of his speech the statement by Reagan
as to the amount annually transferred
to the pockets of the manufacturers
through the operation of the tariff, at
tracted the attention of Aldlich, who
desired an explanation of the state
ment, but Aldrlch's inquiries and Res
CANS explanations seemed to involve
the matter more and more and after
spending nearly an hour over the sub
ject, the etfJrG TO diseutansle 1t was
abandoned.
The conference report on the bill for
the Fourth of July claims and on the
hill 10 retire General Pleasanton as
Major, was presented and ayr ed to.
Mitchell offered a resolution which
was adopted, in truc;iDg the committee
on mines and mining TO enquire into
the cause of the arrears of work in the
General Land Office.
After brief active sessio the Senate
adjourned till Monday.

TOBACCO REPORT

RlcNoND. OCTOBER 9.
\ gentleman, wiring from Rocking
ham county, Moth Caroline, says; THE
frost was very destructive around here,
killing All the tobacco that was ont. A
great many farmers had cut but a small
portion Of their cr0Fs"
Captain John Lewis, Of Milton. Gas.
eelI county, North Carolina, under date
of October 8, say The damage by
frost grows worse and worse. The fact
il, we believe the crop is far worse in
iurei than at first reported"
Ia our own minds we are thoroughly
satisfied that fully half the crop was on
the bills on the night Of the destructive
f.ost Gosh Of September, and II was
very badly damaged The crop was Un-
usually late, and Of course larger pro-
portion was on the hills at that time.
Our readers will bear i'm mind that the
destructive frost of October ., 1881, was
six DAYS later than the killing .r0sts OF
this year. and the Tobacco Trade doubt
less has "A vivid recoll' elton OF the large
amount OF frosted tobacco there was In
that crop Good brights are scarce in all
the markets Of The worli. and If the
question OF supply and demand Is still
in force yellow tobacco must go much
higher than they are now selling.

Brevity Is the Soul or wit.

One of the best means of acquiring
not only the ability, but also the love
of writing is to begin the useful prac=
tice of conveying the most possible
thought and meaning in the fewest
words. If a person writes correctly he
will be.apt to think correctly, and at
the same time will be inspired with a
love for the art. Pruning sentences of
what is superfuous is most beneficial
practice, especially in young writer,
since prolixity is the bane of young
authors, and if continued it will de-
stroy the demand for their produc-
tons.
Brevity in expression leads to per-
spicuity in style. The tendency of con-
tinuous writing is to increase SEN
fences at the expense of thought But
the age Is demanding more and more
the thought'of the writer's in its most
compact form.
The long messages of the chief exec
utives of the state and nation are rarely
read through by the average citizen,
while. the brief one is read by almost
everybody.
Edward Everett delivered an ele-
giant and eloquent, but long. address at
the dedication of the soldiers cemetery
at Gettysburg, and Abraham Lincoln
delivered one on the same occasion, the
length of which would not cover an or
binary page. The address of Everett
is hardly remembered, while that of
Lincoln is year by year momorized by
thousands of school children. Patrick
Henry, by fifteen minutes speech in
the convention of delegates of Virginia,
March %, 1775, established his repu.
tation as great orator.
As "brevity" is said to be the "soul
Of wit" so is brevity of expression the
soul of sense. As striking example
of the brevity of expression, coupled
with vast breadth of thought, may be
mentioned the work of Francis Bacon
as exhibited in his essays and the
aphorisms in his "Novum Organum. ;"
Well may Lord Macaulay say: Ellis

the fairy Paribonon gave to Prince

woman who has never had headache or been
subject to constipation. AS these seem to
be universal troubles little advice may be
in order. Why should persons cram their
stomachs with nauseating purgative pills,
ETC., which sicken and debilitate when such
a pleasant and sterling remedy as Prickly

the liver, kidney, stomach and bowels, and
at the same time tone up and strengthen the

Horses on Slippery Roads.

The method of shoeing horses for
slippery roads introduced by DR.. Fleme
ing, the principal veterinarian to the
British forces, is as follows: 1t con-
sists merely of an ordinary shoe, in
which four holes are punched, and in
these holes pegs with pyramidal head
can be put in in few seconds. In the
machine-made shoes used by the army
round holes are drilled In the process
of manufacture, and the pegs are round
ones made of cast steel. Square pegs
are equally effective. The 4th Hussars
reported the experiment as a great suc-
cess. The cogs tpegs) are easily put
in and taken out; very few have been
lost, and none need be if they are care
fully put in. They are also easily
sharpened when worn down, and they,
last we'll. The horses so Shod trav-
eled on the ice and now-covered roads
nearly every day without accident and
with absolute safety; the men putting
in the pags on leaving the stables and
