the people" II is true he said that since
the tariff discussions of thirty years ago. he
(Sherman) might have changed his mind. If
he had not done so under the changed condi-
tons and circumstances, he would not be
worthy seat in the Senate. II was on bill
to repeal the internal revenue taxes lin 1861
that he made remark that the taxes most
willingly paid were those on spirits, beer and
tobacco. So they were then. So they are
today. But within the last few years, COM
plant has come, mainly from the southern
States. against the tax on tobacco. These COM
plants then came from farmers He needed
them and in doing so, only did what the SEN
ators from Virginia, Tennessee, North Caro-
lima and Kentucky ought to do, as to the
grants of public lands for railroad purposes.
He reminded the senator from West Virginia
(who complained of these things) that that
system had its birth in the democratic party,
in the case of grant made to the State of
Illinois. He declared that among the fore
most advocates of the Northern Pacific grant
and the second Union Pacific law were such
democrats as Hendricks and Beverly john
son. Those grants were made by the consent
of the people in pursuance of the resolutions
of the democratic and republican national
conventions in 1860. They were made with
out regard to parties, or north or south, for
the south had also project for the Southern
Pacific railroad. The republican party said
it would not strike down protected industry;
that when manufactures had sprung up by
the aid of protection it would not strike them
down, derange their conduct, derange their
plans, or lower the prices of labor. The re-
publican party would join with the demo-
cratic party in reducing such taxation as
bore heavily on the pesple, but would pre-
serve the system OF protection by tariff du-
ties as long as necessary to give to Ameri-
cans fair chance in the trade and commerce
of the country, so not to invite foreigners
to compete with home industry. He con-
graduated Congress that the country was to
have a fair, squarely and manly issue on the
industrial question.
The motion to refer the Presidents mes
sage went over without action.
Stewart then addressed the Senate briefly
in support of the education bill
Call obtained the floor for speech on the
same measure, and gave way to motion to
go into executive session.
The Senate at t. 10 proceeded to executive
business and at +20 adjourned.

A FAMOUS WOMAN.
Miss Maria Mitchell. the Astronomer,
and Her areer.


A New England bank cashier at the
beginning of the century thought there
was something better for his girl than
absorption in fashionable society and

so he bought a telescope and other as
Economical instruments and fitted up n
modest observatory al his home. The
daughter. Maria Mitchell. soon toOk

and stars. and when she was eleven
years old she made an accurate record
Of a lunar eclipse. That was nearly
sixty wears ago. and from that time
until recently her business has been
the study OF astronomy. mathematical
and observationaL From the age OF
eighteen to thirty-eight she was the IL
brarian of Nantucket and during that
time her nights were largely given to
the telescope. In is47 she discovered
comet and did the remarkable work II
establishing its orbit. for which she re-
ceived the gold medal from the King
of Denmark She was the first dis
coversr of seven other comets. and
when she went to Europe she was the
hOnored guest of Sir John Herschel.
Sir George Airy and other famous
astronomers When Vassar College
was established in 1865 she was made
the professor Of astronomy. She did
not marry because she believed III at

THE APPROPRIATION Bill.
MIR. Weaver's Public Building Measure
Passes h House.

MI. Viewers general appropriation
bill has passed both houses of the ~legisla-
ture and is now in the hands of the gov
ernor. The measure met with but little
opposition in the house and occasioned no
debate In the sister body. 1t came up
for consideration in the house immedi-
ately after the disposition of the gam
bling bill, late in the afternoon. Under a
suspension of the rules it was read a
second and third time and placed on final
passage. Appended is the vote:
Ayes-Messrs. Adams, B~lydenburgb,
Currier, Duffey, Grant, Johnston, Kuy-
kendall, Lafrentz, Murray, Patten,
Roberts, Sampson, Scrivner, Snyder, Van
Devanter, Weaver-16.
Noes-Cummock, Hooper, Rummel,
Summers, Sutherland, Pease.
Absent-Mr. Blake.
Mr.. Hooper raised the regulation war
cry of the north against the south, and
spoke quite eloquently for about five min
utes. The present capitol building was
sufficient in size for the purposes of the
territory, The expenditure of 1925, 900
more was needless extravaganza. Wings
were not needed, but the money to be
diverted for their construction was needed
in Cheyenne. AS the representative from
Crook county, he solemnly protested
against the passage of the bill.
Mr.. Rummel was surprised. Preferred
bills were not in such bad odor as pre-.
ferred stock. He recognized his helpless
ness. but could not refrain from express
ing himself. The existence of that por.
ton of the territory north OF the Union
Pacific was entirely ignored by the legisla-
tors. He could only say with Mr.. Hooper
that the north might some time be in a
position to act independently.
There we're no responses to the objec-
lions.
AS is well known. Mr.. Viewers bill
provides for the completion and mainten-
ance Of the capitol, university and insane
asylum buildings and the erection of a
poor farm at Lander and territorial peni-
Tertiary at Rawlins.
Recess until 1870 followed the passage
of the appropriation bill. Messrs. Grant
and Sutherland, of The Albany county
delegation, met near the door. The for
mer accused the latter of violating his
pledge in voting in the negative on the
bill. Mr.. Sutherland expressed a will
lingness to establish his manhood, which
had been questioned, in a fisticuff and
commenced to strip for the battle. Speaker
Pease ~interposed and a disgracefnl brawl
was averted. 1t is said that Mr.. Suther-
land was angered by his colleagues action
