sponsibility [Applause.]
Sir. HendeTson-The gentleman does not
criticize the republican congress which put the
tax on tobacco, nor the republican president
who signed the law.
GIr. Hatch-I do not I only criticize the
power which put that law on the statute
books which / regard asione of the most infa-
nous upon it, which prevents a grower of that
great product from selling it to anybody but
licensed dealer.
Mr.. Randall thought that it matters not what
had been done in the past; let all join hands
and strike from the statute books the iniqui-
tous sections. Applause.l
Mr.. Hatch said that he would Join the gentle
man in that When the bonds and debts of The
government. to meet which internal taxes had
been levied were paid and when the tax upon
the clothing and fuel of poor people had been
reduced. Applause
Mr.. Randall suggested that the Indebtedness
of the United States was in no danger of not
being paid.
MIR. Hatch replied that war taxes had been
levied to pay war debts, and as long as a dollar
Of that Indebtedness remained unpaid tobacco
and whisky were fair subjects of taxation.
Mr.. Reed, Of Maine, inquired whether the
gentleman was opposed to the repeal of the in
ternal revenue taxes
Mr.. Hatch replied that he was opposed to
their repeal until the taxes on necessaries of
life are first reduced. Applause
Several republicans-"N oW, let us hear from
Virginia.
Mr. Burnes remarked upon the manner in
which the house bubbled over when tobacco
was mentioned, and expressed the fear that
when the other element, which was covered
by the internal revenue law was mentioned
regular Pandora's box would be opened. He
then brought back the discussion to the sub
ject matter Of the bill

spRINGING rilE QUESTION.

Mr.. Kerr OF Iowa, cast the consideration Of
the hill into the political current when, in
speaking to one Of the deficiency items for the
department Of Justice, he referred TO the in
tenal revenue laws, and declared that at one
OF its state communicable did not precisely
remember the date Of the con-
vontcu-thc democratic party Of Missouri
had passed q resolution asking for the repeal
of The internal revenue system.
NoSsrs, BugueS and Hatch said Mr.. Kerr was
mistaken. Mr. Hatch said that every demo-
years had adopted q resolution demanding that
congress should wipe oil the statute books the
provision Of the revenue law which prevented
farmer from selling his tobacco 10 any but
licensed doulcrs. That provision had been
passed los a repUl liCau congress and signed 10y
republican president, and it fastened the
shackies upon the tobacco growers.
Mr. Henderson, of Iowa, INQUIRED why the
democratic congress did NOS repeal IT,.
Mr. Hatch replied that lac had every session
introduced a OiO 80 that effect, but that while
II could pass a democratic house, IL could not
pass a republican senate.
Mn ECwtll, az Illinois, inquired when IL had
passed democratic house.
Mr.. Hatch replied tlat 10 had passed the
house u the forty-StNth congress- Ii had
been mc;idcd IA the senate $40 that a farmer
could sell 20 the extent of 200.
Mr. Hendo;son-Mh Why was tho tax nut upon
tobacco
MIR laich-Foy the best reason. The gov
crumcut needed money.
MIR Henderson How did the government
happen to need money?

WASHINGTON, February 13.-fSpecal. l.
President Cleveland has practically decided to
spend few days in Florida during the present
month, and unless unforeseen circumstances
should arise, he will probably leave here next
Monday and be absent about n week Il epre-
sentative Davidson called on him Saturday.
and assured him If he and Mrs. Cleveland
would consent TO make the trip, committee
would come here 20 make all arrangements.
While he has not said definitely what he would
do he led Mr.. Davidson TO believe that he
would accept his invitation. He will probably

MIR. REAGAN IN PoSToFFICEs.
Mr.. Reagan addressed ilss senate in defence
of the administration Of the postofce depart

Thought necessary for political purposes, to off
set its effect by getting up charges Of incfii-
Cheney. In the course Of his argument he
undertook 10 rcpel the assertion that very nut

WASHINGTON, February 16.-TSpecial /
There has been considerable excitement
among the democrats here today ON account of
the rumor which the Post published this morn
ing TO the effect that if the democratic party
IN congress failed to redeem the pledges
which the party had made to the country, or
hestatcd to follow the path which the presi-
dent had so plainly marked out, Mr.. Cleve-
land would write a letter similar TO that Just
given out by Mr.. Blaine, and decline to allow
his name to 60 before the democratic conven-
ton
1t has been argued by believers in the rumor
that Mr.. Cleveland is already on record as
being opposed to a second term, and that he
has in no way given evidence that he desires
denomination, and il the party should fail to
see the wisdom OF his action in bringing the
tariff forward rs On issue of the campaign, he
would decline to remain the head of party,

PRESERVING THE FROG.
How to Take Care of Cushions Beneath
the Feet of Horses.

the Feet OF Horses.
If, in seeking q horse, we take up the
foot and find the frog well-preserved;
the cushion, so to speak, wide, full and
soft, the probability is that the re-
mainder of the foot will be in good or
der. There may be an exception to
this in the case of used-up horse hav-
ing been turned out to pasture for a
period long enough to permit the frog
to take on new growth. If the frog be
fully protected and well maintained,
the hoof will be found but little, if at
all contracted, for the very good reason
that the hoof can not readily contract
if the frog be up to its normal size in
every way. But it is the smith, the
horse-shOer, who ruins the frog; that is,
very many of them do this. During the
many years that the writer has driven
horses, he has always made it a rule to
be present during the shoeing, and has
never permitted more than the slightest
trimming of the frog, nothing more
than the trimming off of insignificant
parts, already nearly detached. The
smith can mutilate and seriously dam
age the hoof by the use of the rasp;
but, fortunately, the frog is proof
against attacks by this instrument, and
even the knife requires to be sharp,
else the peculiar nature of the frog will
resist. Fever in the feet is a prolific
source of injury to the frog, and should
be overcome at the earliest possible
day. Confinement upon II dry, plank
floor is damaging by keeping up toe
complete d state of dryness. Cutting
the frog away at the time of shoeing,
then setting the foot upon caulkins, in
such manner as to prevent the frog
from pressing upon the ground, will
sooner or later, interfere with its de-
velopment and usefulness. The most
Important function of the frog is to les
sen the shock TO the foot in its contact
with the ground. This being the fact
it should be SO maintained, and the
shoe be so constructed that at every
step the frog can come in for fail
snare of the pressure upon whatever
substance the horse is required 10 tread
