THEY NEVER GROW WEARY.
Senators for the Sake of Political
Effect, Continue to Discuss
Tariff


Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. Oct. I6.-The senate
devoted the entire day to the discussion
of the tariff question. Mr.. COckrelI
first took the floor in opposition to the
senate substitute. He cOntrasted the DO
sitions of the two political parties
as between ultTa-section and moderate
rates of duty. HequOted from speeches
of Senators Allison and Wilson. of Iowa.
in former years. in opposition to high
protective tariff: denied that the Demo-
cratic party was a free trade party. and
read from Mr.. Blaine'S Twenty Years
in Congress" to show that no PROPOSE
ton for the establishment of free
trade had ever been seriously made
in the United States. He charged
that the tariff question was being
kept open by the Republicans for trad
ing purpOSes-that the fat might be
fried out of the manufacturers inter
ested. AndrumOr had it that the fry
ing pan was not far from the finance
committee room, that those who were
there to testify might have an oppOr-
tunity to contribute. The Republican
senators were waiting for the Demo-
Gratis to become tired and prOpose
an adjournment. Then they would
say that the Democratic party was re-
spOnsible for the failure to pass a tariff
bill. In connection with his speech Mr..
COckrell filed letter from the commits
sioner of internal revenue sSaying that
the removal of the duty to alcohol used
in the arts would
LEAD TO EXTENSIVE FRAUDS
on the revenue. Mr.. Allison said that
this had not been the experience of
England and Germany. Wood alcohol,
he said. could not be demethyllated eX-
cept by distillatioD. Mr.. Vest said that
he had seen in the Office of the commits
siOneT of internal revenue a machine
costing SO, by which wood alcohol could
be converted into pure whisky.

SCISSOR of the county, had committed
suicide. Later developments prove

was undressing, preparing to retire;
that the assassin fired through a screen
window, six buckshot lodging in Sweets
heart. No cause is known for the
crime, as Sweet was one of the most
