AID FROM ORLANDO.

The Orlando Fire Department sent
steam fire engine. hose cart and hook and
ladder by a special train, but the fire wal
practically over when they arrived.
Every effort was made to save the stock
in the stores, but owing to the rapidity With
which the flames spread, but little was
saved, high wind was blowing little
south of east, and the flames were carried
fully 100 feet from building to bui ding in
less time than IL takes to tell it.
The loss falls heavy on all, but already
steps have been taken to rebuild.
Charles A. Sinclair, son-in-law OF Hon.
Frank Jones, of New HAMPSHIRE, both of

telegraphed ordering the immediate con-
struction Of a 200-room hotel As both OF

SILVER FOR SOLDIERS.
The House Committees Action on the
Dependent Pension Bill.


WASHINGTON, April 9.--The House Com
mittee on Invalid Pensions this morning
took final action upon the Senate bill
known as the dependent pension bill Some
verbal amendments were made to the first
section, relating to the claims of dependent
parents, but none of them materially
changed the effect of the section.
A substitute was adopted for the second
section, which is the principal section of the
bill The substitute provides pension for
all persons who have served in the military
or naval service of the United States for
any period, and who have been honorably
discharged, and who are now, or who may
hereafter be suffering from mental or
physical disability, not the result of their
own vicious habits which totally disables
them from the performances of manual
labor, at the rate per month of 1c. for every
days war service. It further
provides the same pension for all persons
who are 62 years of age, or who may here
become 62 years of age, for and during their
natural lives.
LOOKING OUT FOR THE WIDOWS.
Section 8 was amended so as TO provide
that when the widow of any person who had
served in the war and been honorabIy dis
charged, is in a condition of dependence, or
is suffering from any disability recognized
by the general pension laws, or is 62 years
of age, She shall be placed upon the pension
roll at the rate per month Of one cent for
every days war service of her husband
The fourth section was amended so as to
make the attorneys fee for claims filed un-
der the bill S5 instead of SO
The element of dependency placed in the
Grand Army bill by the Senate was elimi-
mated so that all soldiers are TO be pensioned
for their services equally, without regard
to their financial condition, and according
to the per diem idea.
The amendments were adopted by strict
party VOTE the r publicans favoriDg the
provisions OF the Senate bill, so that the
amended bill may be regarded as embody-
ing the Democratic policy in the matter OF
pension legislation.
During the consideration Of the bill Mr..
Sawyer, of New York, offered an amend
nnent to the substitute for the second Soc
tion, providing tn 1t those soldiers who are
in destitute circumstances and totally dis
abled shall be given a pension of Sl2 per
month.
Mr. Morrill,, of Kansas, offered general
per diem pension bill as a substitute for tho
amended bill.
Both of these amendments were defeated
by party vote.

COL. KING-HARMoN's SALARY.
LONDON, April 9.--In the House of Com
mons to-day, on motion that the House au-
thorize the payment Of the salary to Col
King Harmon, Parliamentary Under Sec
retary for Ireland, Justin Mccarthy OBJ
iected. He moved to adjourn the debate on
the question, but nobody on the government
benches took any notice of the motion
Thomas Power O'Connor protested against
the dscourtesy shown Mr.. Mccarthy by the
occupants Of the bench by their neglecting
TO rise and studiously ignoring the objection
OF the Irish party 10 conceding salary to
Col King Harmon.
THE COVE RNMENT's EXPLANATION.
w. II. Smith, the government leader, re-
piled that the course which Mr.. Mccarthy
had taken was an unusual one. There was
no reason why the payment Of the salary
10 Col. King Harman should be refused.
The motion TO adjourn the dobate was then
put. 1t was defeated by a vote of l69 to
lSO.
On motion that the House assent to the
payment Of the salary to King Harmon,
Mr.. O'Connor again rose. He declared that
the Nationalists were resolved 10 oppose the
bill at every stage The motion was car
ried by vote OF 184 TO 100.
THE BUDGET RESOLUTIONS.
The House then went into committee on
the budget resolutions. Mr.. Gladstone said
that he did not intend TO examine into the
details of the budget at this stage. He
wanted 10 know what course the Chancellor
of the Exchequer would take in the event
of the House not adopting the new taxes
lie expressed himself as in favor of the
proposals affecting probate duties and also
of the principle Of equalization OF death
duties. He commended the budget as a
whole, but said that the proposed new tax
alton demanded close scrutiny Mr.
Goschen thanked Mr.. Gladstone for the
complimentary part Of his criticism. be
upheld the budget scheme as whole and
said he trusted the House would accept it,
The House adopted the budget proposals.

IMITATION FOOD PRODUCTS.
States May Constitutionally Prohibit
their Sale.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The Supreme
Court to-day rendered an opinion in the
case of William L. Powell, plaintiff in error,
VS.. the commonwealth Of Pennsylvania,
commonly known as the oleomargarine
case, in error to the Supreme Court of
PENNSYLVANIA. The case brings up for re-
view the judgement of the Supreme Court
of Pennsylvania, sustaining the validity of
the statute Of that commonwealth, making
it unlawful for any person to manufacture,
sell, or offer for sale, any imitation of but
ter or cheese or article designed to take the
place of these articles, produced from any
compound other than unadulteraued milk
or cream.
GROUNDS OF THE COMPLAINT.
The plaintiff was convicted of violation
of this statute and took an appeal, basing it
on the ground that the statute was in viola
ton of the l4th amendment to the constitu-
ton, and that the article sold was new
invention, not deleterious to the public
health. This court holds that it is entirely
within the police powers of State to pro-
tect the public health and that the questions
whether the manufacture of oleomargarine
is or may be conducted in such way as 10
involve such danger to the public health as
10 require the suppression Of the business
rather than its regulation, are questions Of
fact and of public policy, which belong TO
the legislative department TO determine. If
all that can be said of this legislation is that
it is unwise or unnecessarily oppressive,
their appeal must be to the Legislature or
to the ballot box, not to the judiciary.
NOT A GOOD ARGUMENT.
The count also says it cannot assent to the
argument that il this statute is sustained
then nothing stands in the way of destruc-
ton by the legislative department of the
constitutional guarantees OF liberty and
property. The answer TO this argument, it
holds, is that the judiciary department is
bound not to give effect TO statutory enact
ments that are plainly forbidden by the CON
stitution. The objection that the statute
denies equal protection Of the laws is also
held to be untenabl3 for the reason that the
same penalties and burdens are imposed
upon all persons engaged in the same busi-
ness. The Judgment is affirmed. The opin-
ion is by Justice Harlan, Justice Field dis
santinQ.

An editor died and slowly wend-

"For many years thou hast borne
the blame for the errors that the
printers have made in the paper.
The papers have gone, alas! the
one dollar has often failed to come
in. The printers have bedeviled
thee for wages Saturday night when
thou hadst not a cent to thy name.
Men have taken the paper without
paying for it, and curse thee for not
getting up a better paper. Thou
hast been called a dead beat and
a fraud by men who were both
All these things thou hast borne in

And he fired him. AS he did SO
he murmured to himself:
"Heaven's his home, and besides.

would be continually dunning his

Grover -Four Years Hence.

From the New York Graphic.
The tariff issue will undoubtedly
be the issue Of 1892. Is there any
fair man who doesn't believe that
Grover Cleveland will be the best
man to lead the Democratic prin,
ciple of tariff reform? He inaugu-
rated it. He labored for it. He
was beaten because of it. 1t was
not wise for him to enunciate it Sc
short a time before the national
election. but hat was a pardonal
mistake. The Democratic party
believes in tariff reform precisely
as he made the issue. 1t believes
in the Americanism that he en-
dorses. He has sacrificed himself
to his convictions. He has given
the Democratic party more courage
than it has had before in thirty
years. There is not a word or act
of his that every Democrat doesn't
endorse with the single exception
OF his mugwumpism, and that is to
be excused because of his utter
ances and promises when he was
less acquainted with politics than
he is now.
What is the matter with Grover
Cleveland as the candidate in 1892!
Mr.. Blaine was not retired because
he was defeated; and the fact Of
possession Of the first Office for two
terms didnot retire Grant as a can.
didate. The Democratic party will
win in 1892 on the tariff reform is
sue, and Nh. Cleveland is the man
who gave it to them and showed
them how to fight for it. No man
questions the Presidents honesty
or unselfishness, and four years
hence he will be a stronger mar
than he is to-day.

The Prohibition Eiee-presidential
Candidate on the Election
Outcome.

KANSAS CRY. Mo-, Nv, TO-
John A, Brooks, candidate for
Nice-President on the Prohibition
ticket, was i'll the city to-day, and
in commenting upon the election
said:
THE prohibitionists nearly
doubled their votes this year, and
will probably poll over $50 1000.
Ohio was a surprise to us, fer from
that State came $1,000 votes. l
am well pleased with the efficient
manner in which our campaign has
been carried on. and if this proper
ton continues it will only be a few
years when we will be in power.
Cleveland was beaten in New York
by the whisky interests, as was
also Francis i'll st. Louis. In my
opinion, the Republicans will
either adopt the Democratic plat
form in their legislation or will as
sumo an excessive protective
policy. Tariff reform will Ill
timately win. | consider this
election as adverse to prohibition;
had the Democrats continued in
power prohibition would have been
given a wider field. Mayor Fran
els closed the St. Louis saloons on
Sunday. and by this act arrayed
the whisky element against him IN
his race for Governor; in fact, the
Democracy has generally been
favorable toward temperance and
prohibition. In my estimation
Cleveland is the uncrowned king of
American statesmen, and his name
and conservative rule will long
live in history"
