Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, April II At last the
tariff bill, over which there has been so
much talk, is before the House by virtue
Of the motion of Mr.. Mills. The galleries
were crowded to witness the opening
scenes of the contest which promises
to LAST for months. No more
suspicious 8 day could have been
selected for so promising an event as the
reduction of tariff duties in the line of
President Cleveland's message, for 1t is
upon this measure that the political cam
paign will be fought this tAll. The sun
shone clear and bright, and every one was
INA GOOD HUMOR.
Even Mr.. Mills himself although only
ilst recovering from his illness, looked
unusually bright and hsppy and seemed
to be thoroughly nerved to the task before
him. The members we're nearly all in
their seats waiting for the opening scenes
of the memorable debste. Mr.. Mills made
his appearance on the floor at u O'Clock,
sharp. His face was cleanly shlyen up
TO his small. gray moustache. and 81
though little pale, ne showed but slight
traces of his recent 81 kuess. Mr. Tai
bot, clerk Of the committee, occupied q
seat
BESIDE THE CHAIRMAN.
Judge Kelley Of Pennsylvanis, who was
to follow Mr.. Mills, WAS early IN his
seat, reading the morning news
papers. On his desk Was
3 solitary volume Of the Revised Statutes
Precisely at O'Clock Mr.. Mills began his
speech Every face on the floor and in
the galleries WAS turned towards him. Al
first he stepped into the aisle without
manuscript, and talked in voice full and
moderately pitched. AS he progressed
ne moved toward the Speakers table snd
nearer the center of the Democratic side
| of the House. His first utterances were
rather low and somewhat inaudible, but
he shortly warmed up to the OH ct and
DELIVERED A MAsTERLY sPERCH,
showing the necessity for .
reduction of revenue duties and
sbly defended the policy OF
the Democrstic party on this
economic question.

AFRAID OF BIG STATES.

Mr.. SpOO1er OF Wisconsin IN Ills speech
yesterday on the bill to admit South
Dakota ss state ssid there WAS danger
in admitting so large sn ares Of country
and asserted that the empire
OF Texas menaced by her
monstrous territory the interests Of other
sections Of the country.
Chairman Blanchard, chairman OF the
House committee on rivers and harbors,
says that he has discovered the secret of
the opposition which suddenly developed
and defeated the river and harbor bill
yesterday. He declared that large nun
Der of Republican Representatives held &
caucus or secret meeting and resolved tG
oppose
THE PASSAGE OF THK TARIFF BILL.
They calculated that the friends of the
former bill would be forced to defend it
even to the extent OF antagonizing tariff
legislation. Mr.. Blanchard expects that
another effort will be made to pass the
river and harbor bill in week or two,
when further obstructive tactics are
looked for, but he declares that he fer
one would not be driven to sntagonize
the tariff DILL.
Mr.. Abbott and Mr.. Moore are the only
Texas members SO FIR who have signified
their intention to speak on the tariff bill,
although Mr.. Cram mxy fall into line
later on.

President to investigate all strikes and
report the result of their inquiries to
Congress. He was also Instructed to re-
port the bill restricting the sale OF convict

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer transmits to that able
Democratic organ the suggestive infor-
nation that the President is doing all he
can in quiet way to prevent the renomi-
nation of Mr. Blaine, and that Mr.. Cleve-
lands active hostility to the Maine leader
sis such that more than once he has de-
parted from his usual discretion in making
it conspicuously manifest"
These private views of Cleveland. which
have leaked out through Democratic
channels, indicate that he is kept well
posted by the politicians of his party. The
facts which he thus receives from all
sections of the country prove to him
plainly enough whose opposing candidacy
he has most reason to fear He and his
immediate friends know well enough that
the man who came within few hundred
votes Of an election in 1884, is today
much stronger than ever before. 1t is
therefore perfectly natural that he should
have a very strong desire that the Re-
publicans should select candidate want
ing in magnetism and less calculated to
arouse an irresistible tidal wave of en-
thusiasm from ocean to ocean and
throughout all the Republican and doubt

Here and There.

The Richmond Bee has deservedly caus-
tic article on the ghoulish proceedings of
some parties in that place who have been
stealing the plants from the graves in the
cemetery. 1t seems strange that human de-
pravity can descend so low as to rob the
last resting places Of the dead of the floral
tributes in which loving and Borrowing hearts
have shown a fond remembrance. Such
proceedings shock every sentiment of
decency, and every feeling of manhood.
Even among the most savage tribes the last
resting places of the dead have always been
held in profound veneration and sacred re-
spect. The Hyena is about the only animal
in all the brute creation that will rob grave.
We sincerely join with the Bee in the hope
that the hyenas who have been guilty of such
an outrage at Richmond may be caught and
made examples of.

to his well-known habit Of refraining frou

on the Irish question in America, he refused
to express himself in any way concerning i

This afternoon Mr.. Blaine, Mrs. Blain'
and his daughter entered an open carriag
for their afternoon drive. As the Main
statesman passed through the door of tn
/ Hotel Binda a man, who was entering
stopped, started back and, taking OF his hat
