WINks AND MODS IN THE HOUSE.
Randall and Rogers Exchange Them on
the Question of the Tariff.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 16 While the
house in committee of the whole was consid-
ering the deficiency bill Wednesday there
arose long debate on the item for the de-
partment of Justice. Randall said that the
committee on appropriations had been so
frequently attacked that he had become
some what hardened, and he thought, indeed
that he had acquired some of the character
istics of prize fighter He was able to
stand more pummelling and come up more
seroneiy than most Of his colleagues Less
reliance was to be placed. he said, upon the
estimates of the department of justice than
upon the estimates of any other department.
1t had been ever since he had been upon
the committee on appropriations This uu-
reliability came from one of two
sources: either it came from lack
of intelligence in the department,
or tho fault lay in the system. The COM
mittee on judiciary should frame some sort
of amendment to the statute law which
would prevent the gross injustice which was
done to innocent and inoffending citizens by
trivial prosecutions. Many of these prose-
cutions came under the Internal revenue
laws, which should by all means be abol-
ished. The time had come when these wrongs
should be duly consi Tered, and he hoped the
judiciary committee and the gentleman from
mittee, would take a hand in the work. A
wink was sometimes as good as u nod to a
blind horse
Rugers-I sometimes take wink but when
l wink, | wink at the tariff. Laughter.
Randail-All right; we will wink together,
maybe. Laughter and applause
of that suggestion means anything" re-
sponded Rogers. 'it gives me profound graft
fcation, for heretofore we have not been
winking together on that subject"
Randall-The gentleman may be little
color blind on that subject. daughter
Rogers-lt is not the tariff that blurs the
eyes; it is the product of the internal revenue
system that makes one blind
Burnes said that he would never cease de-
nouncing the horrors and evils perpetrated
In the name of law by the officers of the law
under the internal revenue law. At the
same time he wished to say to the gentleman
from Pennsylvania [Randalll AMI to the
country that he would remove the burdens
of tariff taxation and reduce the taxes on
some of the necessaries of life before he would
undertake to lessen internal revenue taxa

Consumption Ends the Career of the Au-
thor of the "Nasby' Letters.

thor of the "Nasby' Letters.
TOLEDO o., Feb. l6.-At G:35 Wednesday
morning David r. Locke, editor of The
Blade Of this city, passed away, after an ill
ness of about three month, during which he
was confined to the house. His disease was
| consumption which he inherited from his
mothers family, but its approach was slow,
and not until last November was he forced
to give up business He was born in Vesta
Broome county, N. Y, Sept. 20, 1883 He
leaves Il wife and three sons, one of whom,
Capt Robinson Locke, was associated with
him on the editorial staff of The Blade.
Mr. Locke's name was known all over the
United States as the writer of the "Nasby"
letters, the first of which appeared in April,
1861, and the last but short time ago. They
were political satires, aimed during the war
at the institution of slavery, and they sprang
at once into immense popularity. So effective
were they that Charles Sumner said they
were prominent among the agencies that
unified the north during the war, and Secre-
