The Author of the Mills Bill.
I From the Irish World. l

A certain j. S. Moore, member
of the Golden Club and represen-
tatlve of certain British interests in
this country, is charged with being
the author of the Mills bill. Con-
gresham Russell, OF Connecticut,
made the charge in Congress the
other day, and challenged the free
trade members of the Ways and
Means Committee to refute it. So
far not member OF the Ways and
Means Committee have made an
unequivocal denial of Mr.. Russell s
statement. 1t seems that Moore
dlned and wined the free trade
members of the Ways and Means
Committee with the object Of in
eratiating himself with them so as
to be- better able to accomplish his
purpose, which was to have Con
press pass a bill that would be as
near free trade measure as cir
cumstances would permit.
1t is asserted that the cost Of
these en- ertainments was betrayed
by Englishmen who arelnterested in
having the tariff taken OIL or great
lv reduced on certain articles. The
New York Press challenges the
free trade members Of the Ways
and Means Committee to deny the
Mills bill was framed in the way
we have been describing. IL says:
eff Mr.. Breckenridge of Kentucky
wants to make Mr.. Moore an issue
the Press accepts the challenge and
openly charges that Mr.. j. 5. Moore,
the paid representative of certain
British interests in the United
States, and a member of the Cob.
den Club, practically framed and
manipulated the 50 called Mills bill,
that i'm the course of the prepara-
ton of that bill Mr.. Moore was in
constant communication with the
various members of the committee,
and that he practically furnished
the technical knowledge which
every member of the committee
lacked.
"The Press accepts the Issue, and
denounces the Mills bill as a meas
ure prepared by the Golden Club
in the interest of English manu-
facturers, and that Mr.. Moore, who
is more largely responsible for the
bill than any other man, is repre-
sentative of British interests in the
United States. This Mr.. Moore
will not and cannot deny. The
idea that Parsee Moore is a philan-
thrOpist, spending his money dining
men like Speaker Carlisle and Con
gressmen Breckenridge, Mills, Nc.
Millin, and others for the benefit of
the American consumer is too gro
tesque even for honest Democrats
to believe"
The methods adopted by Moore
to influence legislation in favor of
British interests have been resorted
to by England's agents at Wash
ingtOn more than once. For in
stance, an attempt has been made
to secure the ratification of the EX'
tradition and Fisheries Treaties by
the employment Of means similar to
those used by Moore. 1t Is about
time tor Congress TO take steps to
put a stop to this kind OF thing. 1t
it continues England can have any
kind of legislation she wants en-
acted at Washington. 1t is decld.
edly startling to have tariff bill
thrust upon Congress by the ac'
knOwledged agent of British manu-
facturers. We repeat that 1t is
high time TO stop British Intrigue
at the nations capital,

At the Methodist church in st.
Jobnsbury, VT, few Sundays ago,
a blackboard was displayed, upon
which appeared mountain diyided
of into geological strata, the upper
one bearing the figures $50. Other
sections we're marked smaller sums
down to 81, the total representing
the sos of the church debt. This,
the Rev. Mr.. Frost SAID, he wanted
to see wiped out, and, as subscrip-
tions were announced from the au.
dence, the corresponding figures
and sections were erased from the
board. In % minutes the whole
mountain of debt had disappeared,
and there was $50 to spare.

BIasphemy and Insanity.

Two well.to do farmers named
Primley, who live about thirteen
miles north Of Seneca, Kan, rode
into town Sunday morning with
the details of a terrible affection
which suddenly fell upon a farm
hand employed by them. The story
is asserted to be true in every par.
ticular and runs thus: The Prim.
leys aud a farm hand named Alt
hous on Thursday afternoon be-
came involved in violent discus.
sion concerning the taking of the
sacrament, when Althous exclaim-
ed in loud voice, accompanied
with an oath: "YOu think, when
you take the sacrament, you are
swallowing Jesus, feathers aud ALL"
No sooner had he uttered the words
than he became madly insane, rush
ed about with frigbtful groans, and
despite the efforts Of the Primleys,
escaped and is supposed to he hid

Congressman Wilson, from this
district, made his free trade speech
in the House Of Representatives
last week. Hereafter he will be
unable to pose before the electors
of this district as a friend of the
manufacturing and labor interests
OF the state. He clearly mlsrepre.
sents the district. We do not be-
love the Democratic party will
again make him its candidate; if it
does he will be beaten by Demo
cratic voters who do not believe in

The Chicago Herald of a recent
date says: "The advertising bust
ness is frequently carried beyond
the bounds of good taste. Every
one who has watched a procession
and who has nOt-has seen at
the tag end many and many a time
some wagon displaying an adver-
tisemeDt of some wares or other,
and the shouts from the sidewalks
were ample testimony that the cheek
of the scheme had met its reward.
The climax Of forbearance was
reached the other day, however,
when following a solemn funeral
cortege at o little distance, 1t is
true, but near enough to be asso-
ciated with the sad procession, the
very thing desired by the perpe-
traitor, was a wagon bearing the
sign painted in large, flaming let
tiers, Cure for Consumption"

Sad Drowning.

Mable, aged nearly 9 years, only daugh-
ter of Newton and Malinda Carpenter,
while attempting to cross the Opequon at
John II. Ford's mill-dam, met watery
grave on Tuesday. She had habit of
wandering over the fields in quest OF
flowers, but had always returned without
causing her parents any anxiety until the
above day, when she was missed about 10
o'clock. Not returning at noon, several
of the neighboring houses were visited
but finding no clue to her whereabouts, a
searching party was soon securing the
woods. Finally some dim footprints
were discovered leading to the old dam
which is almost submerged by the new
one built below. On the opposite side to
where Mable started in IS a swift current
about SIX feet wide. This she had evident
" tried to cross, but had been swept
down TO where the water is from 4 to 8
feet deep. from which her llfeless body
was dragged out with an textbook. The
sympathy Of the community is manifested
in various ways toward the bereayed
family Winchester Leader.

RIOT0US NEGROES.
They Attempt to Rescue One OF Their Race Who
Has Been Arrested for Criminal AS

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Dee. % A spec
cial to the American from Montvale :,
Ala. says: Near this place last Thurs
day negro boy made criminal assault
on young white girl, but she escaped
from him before he accomplished his pur-
pose. Yesterday several negroes were
arrested, and when taken before the girl
she identified one of them as
the party who assaulted her {.
Last night crowd of negroes,
led by John White, a colored desperate +,
surrounded the house where the consta-
BILE and posse were guarding the prisoner.
White called one of the guards out in the
yard and demanded to see the warrant on
which they were holding the negro. The
white man called out to his companion in
the house ''Hand me that double-bar-
relied warrant lying on the bed - AT
this the negroes opened fire, which was
promptly returned by the whites, and
about 100 shots were exchanged. John
White, leader of the negroes, and several
of his party were wounded. The ne
groes then fed, taking their wounded

ABOUT CHRISTMAS TREES.
Garden and Forest.

The trade in Christmas trees and greens
grows larger year by year. Thirty years
ago Christmas tree was seldom seen ex-
cept in some home of the richest class,
and the adornment of churches for the
festival season was confined to the
Catholic and Episcopal denominations
But the immense increase of cur German
population has popularized the Christmas
tree throughout the length aud breadth
of the land, and with the waning of old
Puritan ideas the decoration of churches
of all denominations has become CUSTOM
airy.
The extent to which materials for these
purposes are now required is shown by
the fact that single dealer in New En-
gland last year disposed of 10, 900 Christ
mas trees, 25 900 yards of wreathihg
and 800 barrels of evergreen spray. The
smallest trees that are sold bring on the
ground 10 cents piece while the largest,
twenty-five to thirty feet in height,
brings from 81 to Sc.
