A HsrdPan.

Some weeks ago an old gentleman
arrived in the city and began to make
preparations to lecture on the correct
teachings of the holy writ. He held
the theory that man could live with
out sin, and for proof pointed out his
own life, saying he had not conceived
sin for many years. He also told of
a vision which he had from which he
gained the information that he was
chosen to revolutionize the world.
For some days he made strenuous
efforts to secure a church or han, but
without avail He left the city, hav-
ing declared it was past redemption,
He wendell his way to the berg at
the mouth of the Kaw. Here it seems
he fell among thieves, for one morning
he was found at the bottom of
twenty foot embankment, badly
bruised and without money. He was
taken TO hospital where he staid I'M
til Friday when he was sent TO this
city. He registered as John Collins.

Lo, Lord, before Thy throne of grace,
A town of wretches mourn,
Hast Thou no promised populace2
Hast Thou not said-"Build on?'
And shall our barren soil prevail
To drive us from Thy feet?
Let not this town of ours fail,

Proud Admire hath her rich coal mines,

Miraculously, these, dear Lord,
Change to this town, our own.

And calm our pulses beat

THE SENATE TARTFF BILL

The senate is making lazy sort of
effort to do something. There is
plenty to do too, although we would
hardly think so from reading an &C
count of the days doings in that
body.
The tariff bill is the piece de resis-
lance on which it chews most. 1t is a
dry bone for the democrats, who, since
they lost their eye teeth in the election
prefer to keep away from it as much
as possible.
The discussion so far however has
proven that the bill as framed during
the last session by the senate commit
tee raised the tariff on large number
of articles. On iron beams and CIR
ders, which are extensively used in
on railroads, buildings and many
places the Mills bill placed tariff of
40 per cent. The senate bill puts it at
81 per cent.
There may be a good reason why 40
per cent is not protection enough
for the three or four wealthy manu-
facturers of these goods that consti-
tute what is known as the steel
trust" most powerful organization.
If there is, what is it?
There is a duty of 40 percent on
common glass tpttles and jars used
in picking and preserving. That is
raised by the senate bill to IS per cent
and in some cases to $50 percent, Is
that all right? 1t is? Very we'll.
Collars and cuffs pay 35 per cent
duty. The senats bill raises it to 70.
and that of course is all right. The
duty on cotton cloths is raised from
to 10 per cent and on cotton hosiery,
from Toto 40 per cent. all of which is
fair and just. Class !, of wool pay So,
the senate bill puts it at go per cent.
Glass 2 pay 4S. 1t is raised to AZ. Class
8, carpet woods, pays SO. 1t goes up
to 40.
That is all in the interest of the farm
er-that is, Of the farmer who produces
wool, but of none other.
Yarns now pay 80 per cent. The SEN
ate bill raises that to 103 and IN some
kinds to 134 per cent. The coarser the
yarn the higher the tariff. Yarn used
by the rich pays duty of SO. That in
use by the poor, the coarser sort, pays
1874. That looks like an unfair discrim-
ination. But senators say 1T is all right,
and of course that settles it.
These are some of the features of this
bill brought to light in the last few
days. Perhaps it was the contempla-
ton of their somewhat forbidding as
spect that prompted Senator ingalls, to
say that the bill would be altered, and
reductions ma lie to please western SEN
ators.
1t may be that the existing tariff is
not high enough. Certainly western SEN
ators thought so near the close of the
last session when they lauded the SEN
ate bill raising the rates in the manner

How are they DOW going to take a
different stand and ask for a reduc-
ton. and at the same time avoid the
imputation of double dealing and play
ing confidence game with the manu-

HAYrI

Is one Of the large islands in the Span
ish Main east of Cuba. 1t once be-
longed to Spain but is no longer a
mainstay of the old kingdom.
1t calls itself q republic. What 1t
really is at present is past finding out.
The island is all tOpsy turvy with revo-
luton, and bloodshed.
Three or four different great men,
as in Mexico a few years ago, are
struggling, plotting and scheming for
the supremacy.
I OF these, Legitime appears to be the
ablest. He is called 1.-THE Black Napo-
leon,' and is at present by virtue OF
superior strategy provisional president
of the island. He is seeking to in
trench himself in authority. His rule,
which sav0rs more of dictatorship
than of free government, is main
tanned chiefly by the military, coarse
set of taIterdemalions resembling Fal-
staff's ragged regiment.
These were the fellows that in
Legitime's name captured and are now
holding Uncle Sans ship, the Hay
tien Republic for, as they say, running
the blockade. These are the fellows
that will flee like rats to their borough
when Admiral Luce aims a broadsidC
at Port au Prince.
Legitime is doing the Napoleon &C
as he thinks-in great style. He ha
just issuedR circular to the powers de
failing the wonderful things he will d,
for ''his country" He will reorganizt
the army and navy, and place both il
such condition of efficiency as ST
command the respect" of the world.
From this it will be seen that hi
rule, like the first NapoIeon's, will b,
chiefly military in character. He viii
call himself president, of course, anC
the government republican in form
and all that-that is, he will do so un
til some other colored Napoleon upseti
his apple cart and dumps him into thu
''bouillon."
Unless he is another Touissaint, sucl
will be his fate. The inhabitants O.
Hayti seem to be constantly charged
with nitro-glycerine and ready to ex
plode on the slightest provocation
Theyaare not happy unless the island
is in an uproar.
If Monsieur Legitime can bring these
people to their senses and keep then
there, he will have done his duty. Hi!
first duty, however, is to settle will
Uncle Sam.

THE Oklahoma bill gets into rough
water occasionally. Its enemies are
untiring, and seek to delay, hinder or
kill it by proposing all manner of
amendments. Payscn of Illinois bobbed
up Thursday with an amendment SIM
liar in all respects to one that had been
voted down during the last session.
He proposed that when Oklahoma
should become a territory, all honor
ably discharged soldiers who choose to
do so may enter homesteads free. Ma
jor Warner, at present commander of
the national G.. a. r D., took the floor in
answer to the magnanimous Payson
and scored that virtuous patriot in this
wise: He said:
1.-The amendment is an insult to ev-
cry veteran of the union armies. 1t is
offered by man who never saw a sol
der in action, who does not knnw the
sentiments of soldiers. and is possessed
of no companionship with them which
would instill their cOmradeship into his
mind. The soldiers ara. not paupers.
They have not asked for these lands.
They do not plead service to their
country as immunity from honestly
competing for livelihood with those
who did not do or dare for the repub-
lie; only when they are sick and suffer-
ing do they expect aid of the general
government. These lands are for the
well, strong and ambitious men who
are capable of tilling the soil and bring
ing forth the wealth of its resources.
They want this territory opened, and
each one of them, in common with his
follnyKT nifi1nnG 10 Nryil1inO RI G1 Ok
per acre for the finest land on the con-
tinent. This is discrimination, and
the soldiers ask nothing but simple
justice. l resent the imputatiOn of
this amendment, that the soldiers are
paupers.''

THAT part of the democratic party
represented by its congressman ap-
pears to be in a state of Generalization.
Washington correspondents talk about
it, eastern papers comment on it, and
all joke over the matter. Why should
it be so? There is no good reason for
it. Democracy met Waterloo. But
it was not the first. The party ought
to get used to trifes like that. A good
drubbing is often the making of fell
low. Let democrats reflect on the bit
of philosophy in that, and brace Up.
They will find, we think, that they are
in better shape than the republicans
were this time four years ago.
