Speeches in the Senate on the Tariff
Bill.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-In the Senate, to-
day, the tariff bill was taken up and Senator
Cullom spoke upon it. He criticised the
speeches of Messrs. Carlisle and Thurman,
and referred to the House as having q
southern man for speaker and Southern men
for chalrmen of the most important commit
tees. He did not believe, he said, in Texas
craftsmanship.
Senator Platt followed Senator Cullom.
He said conspiracy against labor pervaded
the whole body of American history. Its
desire had been to extend the Southern sys-
tenn where labor should be unpaid and ig-
norant and to circumscribe the Northern
system which encouraged intelligence, virtue
and self respecting and respected labor. The

One of the most interesting events of the
day was the plowing match for boys, the
prize being No. Frye steel plow. The
boys who tried for the prize were Willie
Robinson, Scarboro, II years old; Herbert
Collins, Gorham, 16 years old; Elmer Libby,
Gorham, II years old; Sam Phinney, Cor
ham, 16 years old; John E. johnson. 16
years old. The plowing by little
Willie Robinson was praiseworthy indeed
and he turned the furrows smoothly and
evenly: At last after they had all tried and
all made good exhibition the judges decid-
ed that John e. johnson should have the
plow. which was given away by Mr. Frye. 1t
is needless to say that the young man was
highly elated by his srccess and greatly
pleased with his prize.

there Is only one church edifioe In the con-
nection that is considered large enough for
this gathering, and that Is the Peoples
Methodist Episcopal church In Boston,
Mass. Ii will seat about 2, 500 persons.
When the general conference met in Brook
lyn II went to the Academy OF Music; in
Baltimore, Il was deoarred by its size from
meeting in q church; in Cinc;nn Iti II met
In Pixies opera house; in Philadelphia, In
an opera house. and in May next IL will
convene in an opera house. 1t may not be
the perfection Of church edifce to seat
5000 people. but the necessity
exists In denomination which has
been regarded as the peoples church,
that in every great city of the land
there shalt be at least one vast audience
room. DIR. John W. Hamilton undertook
to solve this problem for MethOdism in
Boston. He built the Peoples church. It
was a great task, but 1t was done. When
his term Of three years expired, the Law
said he could stay no longer. Bishop
Simpson took hold Of the enterprise and
said This is an extraordinary case; DIR.
Hamilton Is a necessity to this church; we
will make 1t mission and appoint him the
fourth year." Ii was done, and he WAS con-
tinued IS pastor of that church for seven
years, when new administration said
that DR.. Hamilton must be moved,
and he was moved BY episcopal
authority. What Is the result? Simply
this: The audience which once filled that
great room is in large part scattered. and
an appeal has been made to the Church Ex-
tension society by Bishop Foster for sl0.-
900 to help pay debt on the property. II
the rule which limits Methodist preach
er's pastoral term had permitted John W.
Hamilton to remain ten years, we would
have illustrated that a great church and
great congregation were possible even in
Boston, the hardest city soil in which to
plant and cultivate Methodism In this land.
In New York. Brooklyn, Chicago or
any one of several other large cities
he could have done it in less time.
because the conditions would have been
more favorable and his talents and general
ship would have conquered. DR.. Talmage
has built great edihce In Brooklyn for the
Presbyterians. Beecher did IL for the Con-
gregationalists. The Baptists have one in
fremont Temple, Boston, and now. too,

ceed In that place. DIR. Meredith, formerly
a Methodist preacher, did II on Saturday
afternoons with q Bible class in that Tenn
pie. Joseph Cook fills 1t on Monday morn

The English Trademarks Courtesy.

In his relations to his customer the English
furnisber is very different from the Ameri-
can. The former pays much more careful
and considerate attention 10 n customer than
is to be seem .his-ssse of the water. Each
individual person is given an amount of time,
explanation and suggestion far beyond what
an American would think of giving. This is
in pursuance Of the Englishmans policy OF
doing everything possible TO please and assist
his customer, that he may hold trade once
made. His employees and clerks are educated
on this principle, also, and are taught never
TO push undesirable or questionable goods on
established customers; and they have to fol-
low the same precept with the new and
chance customer, in order TO get his good
will and make a friend of him The habitual
courtesy and consideration on the part of
tradesman and clerk tells in the long run,
and gives an attraction to the fine English
