It's Tough When a Newspaper Man Puts

Turning On the Hose in the Basement.

Did you notice a paragraph in last even
ing's Inter Mountain about Butte's Bigges,
Mercantile Institution that read like the
falling OF the grand stand at a circusY And
did you notice that the star underneath it ?
When you see that obscure star OF infini-
tesimal magnitude it means that it isn't
such an item of news as reporters are sup
posed to rustic for, but that it was inserted
because somebody was willing 20 pay even
a higher rate for It's Insertion than that
charged for ordinary advertising; and, es-
pecially does it mean that the publisher OF
the paper declines to vouch for the correct
ness Of the statement. It's q pretty tough
yarn, generally, when a ~spa man puts
cotton i'm his ears and shoulders at the
thought of the moral responsibility which
attaches. What is a merchants idea in re-
sorting to such anonymous methods? Does
he feel that his reputation for veracity is so
doubtful that lie deems it highly inexpedient
to write over his own signature or well.

HE FELL IN LOVE
with her at first sight and sought an intro

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
WASHINGTON, December 1s.-The Re-
publican Senatorial caucus this morning
decided that the Senate should continue
in session without holiday recess un-
til the tariff bill is disposed of, letting
the House take recess if it so desired.
Il was also decided to hold two sessions
daily, beginning at II A. M. and P. NJ.
The House Committee on Indian At
fairs agreed to-day to report favorably
the bill recently introduced by Delegate
Clifford, of Dakota, amendatory of the
bill providing for the division of the
Grand Sioux reservation and the relin-
Quishment of the remainder.
At the executive session OF the Senate
to-day the nomination of Leon A. Bailey
to be District Attorney Of Indiana was
under consideration. A request was
made for papers on file in the Depart
ment of Justice, containing adverse re-
aections on him by committee of one
hundred of Indianapolis. His nomira-
ton will be vigorously opposed.
The Chief of the Secret Service Div
ision of the Treasury Department in his
annual report says the representative
value of counterfeit money captured
during the year was $2,117 ,523, Of which
over s., 100000 was limitations and fac
SMILES Of notes. There were also cap
tured eighty-five plates, 40 dies, 46 molds

A favorable report was also ordered on

tional land offices in Colorado.
In response to the resolution of inquiry

THE SENATE.
Senator Vest Objects vigorously TO
Evening eSsiOns.

WASHINGTON, December 1S.-In the
Senate to-day the resolution for evening
sessions was taken up with the amend
ment offered by Morrill,, providing that
the daily hour of the opening debate
shall be IL A. NJ, and at $50 a recess be
taken till 8 Pm.
Vest opposed the resolution. He
understood its political importance. The
Democratic Senators did not propose to
make factious opposition to the tariff
bill, but it was cruel, outrageous, to ask
them to hold night sessions in order to
rush it through.
Mr.. Morrill, argued that evening ses-
sions were necessary in order that the
Senate might do the work before it,
which included not only the Tariff bill,
but appropriation bills, which would re-
quire time.
Vest warned the Republicans that the
proposition to put the tariff bill through
under whip and spur could not be car
ried out.
Further debate followed. Finally
further consideration of the resolution
for evening sessions was postponed until
tomorrow. A compromise is under
consideration.
The bill for the construction of rail-
way bridge across Young's Bay, Oregon,
was reported from the Committee on
Commerce and passed.
Consideration of the tariff bill was
then resumed, paragraph 151, applying
to iron and steel wire, being taken up.
Salisbury offered an amendment,
which was agreed to, inserting after the
words 'except fence wires." the words
"and iron and steel fiat, with longitud-
inal ribs, for the manufacture of fenc-
ing."
Aldrich offered an amendment (Which
was agreed toy to insert 25 instead of 40,
80 as to make the proviso read, that ali
iron or steel wire valued at more than 10
cents per pound, shall pay duty of not
less than 65 per cent. advalorem.
No amendment was offered to para
graphs 152, 154 or 155.
No amendments were offered to para
graphs 156 to 159, inclusive, coming un-
der the head of general provisions" un-
til the last one was reached, which was
amended, on motion of Aldrich, by adding
''for steel saw plate" so as to make it
read, "On steel and circular saw plates
there shall be paid one cent per pound in
addition to the rate provided in this act
for steel saw plates"
To paragraphs 100 to 165, inclusive, nc
amendments are offered. Paragraphs l66
10 Ia, relating to copper and cutlery,
we're passed over informally.
The Senate then proceeded to executive
business and adjourned.
