Senator Sherman on the Tariff.

CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 20. Senator John Sher-
man made his first speech of the campaign at
Music Hall, tonight, to 1000 people. under the
auspices OF the Western Reserve Protective
Tariff Club. He devoted his speech to the tariff,
and discussed the Mills bill quite thoroughly.
Referring to the internal revenue, be said:
1t Ia true that, In addition to customs duties,
the United States levies some internal taxes,
but these have usually only been levied during
the war. or to pay the debts incurred in war.
During our great civil war, and for some years
after. the internal taxes exceeded the duties on
imported goods, but these have all been
pepeaisd, except or spirits. tobacco
reason why the taxes on these should be re-
tanned, except that they are articles Of volun-
tary use or indulgence. which men or women
are better without than with. This tax is
easily paid, Is not felt by the consumers as a
hardship. and even the producer, except Of
tobacco, finds an advantage in retaining the
tax. There is another reason, much more
OF spirits ana beer. and that is that in the
nature OF things, IL the United States repeal the
tax. as now collected, IL would be lost to the
people, for such taxes can only be collected by
the strict, almost savage, laws of the United
States. II taxes on spirits and beer are i'm
posed by the States they must be uniform in
amount aad mode of collection or their manu-
facture would drift to the State imposing
the lowest tax. Now, on this subject there
is substantial agreement between
the two parties. Both propose to repeal.
Ia substance. the tax on tobacco. and both. in
the main, retain the tax on spirits used in tho
arts, but not when used for r~efreshment, or,
rather. for excitement"
The Mills bill, he declared. was drawn Ia ia
vor of the South. and Disseminated against
nearly every Northern industry and Northern
farmers.

BERLIN. Oct. 20.-The discussion of DR..
Mackenzies book tends more and more to the
discredit of the English doctor. Even tho
radical Vossische Zeituna. which has hitherto
been a champion of DR.. Mackenzie, has ceased
to defend him since the appearance of Professor
Virchows and DR.. Waldeyers official report on
the results Of the psst-mortsm examination of
the remains of Emperor Frederick. At a meet
ing of the Medical Society here. on Thursday
last, the en- ers debated and approved q re.
port, the effect of which will amount to
accusing DR.. Mackenzie Of distorting the
facts disclosed by the post-mortem ex-
animation, and Of q general divergence from
the truth. The statement of Professor Virchow.
in the Vossische Zeitune. further charging Drs.
Mackenzie and Howell with evadine his request
for an exact description of tho affected parts.
whence the PARTICLES were taken for
analysis. intensifies the suspicion that DR.. Mac
kenzie aimed to mystify the German doctors. if
possible. Professor Virchow now asserts that
the particles given him to analyze with the mi
croscope we're taken from the vocal chord and
not from the seat of the disease. Public opinion
is made MP that DR.. Mackenzie is a clever Jug
gler, and that be was an able and willing instru-
ment Ia the plans Tor proioneing Fredericks

Civil Service In Indiana.

WASHINGTON, Oct 20.--In the Senate, to-day,
tho minority report on civil service was pre-
scented. On the Indiana inquiry the report says
the Testimony cannot properly be 80 named,
rs the aim of the committee was satisfied by
calling but two pc rooms, who cannot be styled
witnesses. and the production Of certain essays
based on newspaper reports That such matter
should be accepted as the basis of grave charges
against the President aud other pubic officials
to the scandal of our government. 10 a most
elarinR exhibition OF that blind and reckless
psrtisanship which the committee ostensibly
condemn. Neither ". d.. Foulks nor S. B..
Swift, tine persons referred to as "vitness es,n
spoke from personal knowledge. The report con-
tinues:
The great State of Indiana and the integrity
OF its people, and the character OF its public
servants have been impugned, and it is not
worthy Of the United States Senate that it
should sanction a proceeding. without precedent,
and initiate methods which the common
sense OF mankind has rejected, and which is
abhorrent To every sentiment OF natural justice.
IL the President of the United States had re
nominated to the Senate for a new term of
Office a justice of the peace for the District of.
Columbia, and il appeared upon tho question OF
that he hsd condemned a
vaRrant for pstit larceny upon such
spurious testimony ss has been brought here, on
which to condemn the President, scandalize a
commonwealth aud impugn its citizens, his re-
lection would be inevitable, and the President
would be censured for an improvident action"
The report says that the hearsay evidence re-
lied on to subetantiats the charge OF the major
ity that in Indiana NOT one soldier has been
appointed whore ten have been removed" when
subject to official tests. proves false. Accord
ing TO the majority report. before President
Clevelands administration, eleven appointments
were made under the civil service law to the

and one Democratic. How is it, continues
the minority report, "that the civil-service law

ten Republicans TO one Democrat; and why
should it be condemned for SO doing by the

Story for the Marines.

" " AuuibLbpoiis Sotta
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Oct. 20.-A somewhat re-
markable thing took place in the river just be-
low this city this morning. a few days since
the steamer Robert b. Carson collapsed and
sunk in forty feet of water, together with thirty
head of cattle. confined on the lower deck. For
two or three days . number Of hands did all in
their power to raise the sunkep boat. but with
out avail, and the project was aban-
doned. Early this morning. however, to the sur
prise OF the officers Of one OF the harbor
boats, the pilot-house and hurricane deck Of the
Carson suddenly appeared above the water.
When a crew was sent down, the steamer was
floating along, sustained and upheld by som
mysterious agency. This was subsequently,
traced to the cattle themselves, which had be-
come inflated to almost bursting proportions,
by Rasses generated in the carcasses. and the
combined buoyancy OF these dead bodies had act
ually lifted the steamer to the surface. as the
boat sank again when they were cut loose. Old
steamboatmen d eclare it the strangest occur
ance in their nautical experience.
