This verse had been suggested to him
on the previous evening by eX-COllector
Thomas Murphy. The instant he heard
it Conkling said: Mr.. Murphy, | shall
use that in my speech tomorrow"
1t was a great speech and one evidently
not committed to memory. The ground
had undoubtedly been staked out, but the
orator trusted to the inspiration of the
moment when he planned it. The time
for placing candidate in nomination was
limited. COnkiing overstepped the limit,
but his elOquence was SO superb and his
bearing so royal that not mUrmur of
dissent was heard.
Suddenly. however, he threw thunder
bolt at Blaine Itstruck the Maine states
man fairly and squarely, and drew yells of
pain from his supporters. Their cries
sounded like the roaring of the sea, and
soon completely drowned the Senator's
voice. "Time, Time," was shouted, and
sit down." Conkling stood unmoyed,
gazing at the galleries undauntedly. For
a minute he listened to them. Then he
unbuttoned his coat, drew small envel-
Ope from his inside pocket, and carefully
studied it. 4 moment afterward lie raised
his hand deprecatingly and waved it to
and fro toward the gallery on his right
The noise ceased in that quarter. The
speakers hand was then raised toward
the gallery on the left, which responded
by silence. Then the great man gathered
himself in sentence of wonderful beauty,
which closed with another clap of thun-
der for Blaine's adherents. In the renew
ed storm the Senator closed his speech.

by reason of the importation of tops,
lap-waste, ETC., at one-third the duty it
ought to pay and the use of carpet wool
for clothing. He showed the fallacy of
reducing the duty on starch when it is
now selling at actual cost all over the
country, and dwelt on the value of the
home market, which he said was now
consuming 81 per cent. of the $15,OOO,-
100000 of agricultural and manufactur-
ed products which we are producing, and
denied that free trade would give us
foreign market for anything. He showed
how absurd it is to be calling manufac-
turers robbers and monopolists when
every town and village in the land will
welcome factory or mill. He did not
claim that the aim of a protective tariff
was to cheaper, though that is its gen.
eral effect, but that it was for the benefit
of the millions who live in our lands in
producing and distributing more equally
wealth, prosperity and the comforts of
life. He gave numerous proofs and IL
lustrations, refuting the claim that the
consumer pays the duty denounced by
the bill as intensely sectional, offensive
ly partisan and grossly unjust and in
consistent.

and then proceeded to show the damage
that would be done by its passage. The
protective tariff was question in which
patriotismshad no incOnsidcrable part; it
was an element of national strength, and
a means by which the nation could lift its
people up to a higher plane of civiiiza-
ton. He showed that placing tin on
the free list would destroy iron and steel
roofing, cripple manufacture Of sheet
iron and sheet steel, and prevent the eS-
tablishment in this country of the tin
plate industry, which would furnish, if
properly protected, employment for 5O,-

CONGRESSMAN TAYLOR
TAKES A HARD IN THE TARIFF DEBATE
AND FIRES HOT SHOT AT THE
FREE TRADERS.
A Strong Plea For Protection.

A Washington City dispatch to the
Wheeling InteHigencer, of Wednesday,
says:
One of the most convincing speeches
that has been delivered during the tariff
debate was fired into the Democratic
ranks to-day by Representative Joseph
d. Taylor, of Ohio. His argument was
remarkable for its strength and lucidity,
and he stirred up the Democracy by
pointing out that free trade had its or
igin in the hatred of the South to New
England on account of her abolition
ism. He denounced free trade as
fragment of the rebellion, and said that
the pernicious doctrine was as danger
Gus to all business interests in 1888 as
secession was in 1861. He charged the
Democratic party with conspiracy to
obtain free trade by collusively accum-
mulating money in the Treasury, in viO-
lation of law, for the purpose of having
an excuse for destroying our protective
system, and said that this talk of the
Democrats about the surplus was the
hollowest pretext, the emptiest subter
fuge, and deserved
TIE CONTEMPT OF ALL DECENT MEN;
that the money ought co have been paid
out as was done under Republican ad-
miniStration. All the money was need
ed to meet pending legislation and he
called attention to the bills vetoed and
defeated by the President and the House
that the Administration might accumu-
late money in the treasury He said
that the Democrats in Indiana had de-
clared in favor of more liberal pension
legislation and in favor of a service pen
sion, while the Democrats in the House
were trying to SO reduce the revenues
that no increase of pensions would be
possible. The HOOsier Democrats were
charged with playing the same trick to
capture the soldier vote that the Dem
c eracy of Ohio tried in order that they
might secure the wool growers vote in
1888. With much care he showed that
if a surplus of S60,000,000 was danger
Gus locked up in the Treasury, that it
would be more dangerous to so change
the duties that $60,000,000 of gold would
be carried out of the country by the bal
ance of trade being turned against us as
t was before the war, when all the gold
we dug from the mines of California was
carried out of the country. This, he
pointed out, would change the value of
gold, withdraw it from circulation, con-
tract the currency, destroy values and
cause financial distress. He character
lied the bill as

driving at Sandusky, o., were thrown

poses" The operation was public
and proved successful, 50 that the
culprit was not only cured in fort
night, but was pardoned and sub
scriptions taken up in his behalf.
Thus it happened that the man
had to be sentenced to be hanged in
order to be cured of his disease, and
that, had his sentence been executed,
the surgeons, who operated on him
living, would not have been allowed
TO touch his corpse.
Not long afterward the dissection
of criminals was made legal in
France, and over the door of the
first operating-room opened in Toul-
ouse was placed this inscription:
"This is the place where death
comes to the aid of life" In Paris
to-day there exists society whose
members bind themselves to allow
an autopsy to be made on their
bodies Immediately after death.
Gambetta belonged to this assoca-
ton, and it was DIR. Matthias Duval
to whose lot it fell to examine the
locality of the disease and study
the brain of that eloquent French
man. Chicago Times.

SELLING oNE's OWN sKeLEToN.

Has man right to disposed Of
his dead body? The weight of
authority seems to be in favor of an
answer in the affirmative, but a new
decision will soon be rendered by
the Hungarian courts.
1t appears that man named
Fabry recently died at Buda Pesth
who measured seven feet three in
ches sin his stockings" Several
years ago he sold his skeleton to the
Anthropological Museum of that
city for considerable sum, and that
institution naturally laid claim to his
corpse on the announcement of his
death.
The widow, however, would not
give up the remains of her elongated
spouse, and insisted that they should
be burned. The question has been
referred to the courts, and we shall
have another legal opinion on this
interesting subject. :
1t seems there lived at Kief a
shopkeeper named Raskorovitcha,
who was remarkable for having an
enormous head-out of proportion
and unhealthy looking. This pro-
digious Uranium surmounting frail
body had q most singular effect.
Raskorovitch seemed proud of his
lusus nature, and spent the most of
his time seated in front of his shop.
He was weak-minded and feeble in
health.
1t so happened that DR.. Walter
had occasion to pass Raskorovitch' S
shop daily and became so interested
in his abnormal development that he
finally offered the shopkeeper "A con-
siderable sum in cash if he would
sign a paper leaving him his head
alter death. The man consented,
pOcketed the money and went on so
long "spree" that his enfeebled
constitution could not react from the
effects, and death ensued. DR..
Walter, on learning the facts APP
peared on the scene and claimed his
head. The widow, being ignorant
of the transaction protested. The
courts were appealed to and decided
that the contract, having been made
in the interest of science, must be
respected, and the bereaved one was
compelled to bury her husband head
less.
In the month of January, 1474
the physicians and surgeons of Paris
represented to Louis XI tina
"several persons of quality" being
afflicted with divers diseases, il
would be very useful to examine
that part of the body so effected. l

BY the Planter we have received
dates to the 9TH of January, two
days later than previously received.
Following is summary
The smallpox does not show any
signs of letting go its hold in San
Francisco. Seven new cases were
reported to the Health Office on
Jan. 4th.
Santa Rosa, Jan. 4th-The Board
of Health tonight passed a resolu-
tion asking the Board of Education
to only admit pupils to the public
school who furnish certificates of
vaccination.
Marysville, Jan. 4th-The Com
mon Council have taken steps to
prevent the appearance of smallpox
in this city, and have ordered free
vaccination for those unable to paw
physicians. None has appeared in
the mountain region of this country
adjoining Sierra county.
Los Angeles, Jan. 4th-At meet
ing of the Board of Health this
evening resolution was adopted
requesting the State Board to sta
tion quarantine officers at Tulare
and San Pedro. The Board of
Supervisors this afternoon appointed
two health officers for duty at San
Pedro, 10 prevent the advent of
smallpox at that port.
The Consuelo made the passage
over to San Francisco in ten and
half days.
A revolt occurred at Jefferson
barracks, st. Louis, between white
and colored U. S. troops, that re-
suited in the injury of many men
and probably will cost the lives of
at least three.
Four inches of snow fell at Port
land, Oregon, on the 3rd JAN, and
some apprehension was felt of a
general freeze-up.
Very few of the vessels arriving
from northern ports fail to bring re-
ports of rough voyages, of thrilling
experiences and narrow escapes
from drowning. The storm has been
continuous on the northern coast
and has ragged with the greatest vio-
lence on land as well as sea. The
reports of disasters already received
are certain to be followed by others
as soon as the vessels which are de-

frontier continues. The latest news
shows that the reports concerning
Russian movements referred mainly
to displacements effected with the
frontier provinces.
Berlin, Jan. 3.-The "National
Zetung" states that Emperor Will
liam, during the reception yesterday
of the officers of the Guard briefly
said: ~ would point out that with
this year your chief attention will
be claimed TO maneuvcrs which the
Guards and the Third Army Corps
have been ordered to execute. The
Emperor afterward bestowed the
Order of the Black Eagle upon the
Court Chamberlain, Count Stolberg
Weiningeroder.
London, Jan. 3.-Lord Clanicarde
is making preparations for whole
sale eviction campaign in revenge
for the castigation he got at the re-
cent libel suit. To-day he is to
apply for $50 wrts of eviction. His
new agent is staggering about, say
ing there is to be war to the knife
this time. The millionaire is deter
mined TO put his purse against the
purse of his tenants and their
friends, and has begun by lodging
$4,000 in cash to his agents credit
at the bank. 1t is to be war of
purses as well as housekeeping and
house defending, for if the tenants
be cast out of their homes it will
become a question whether their re-
sources or Clanricarde's will hold
out longer. If the Government
lend Clanricarde their troops to pur-
sue this resolve, there is much fear
that there will be bad work.
The Privy Council at meeting
yesterday resolved to suppress the
league in Dublin and thus cripple
the Central Executive.
Jan. 3.-The Iron Clad H. NJ. S.
Hercules touched the reef off Fer
rol, Spain, yesterday and knocked q
hole in her side. All efforts to stop
the leak failed, and the ship with
difficulty reached the harbor of
Ferrol, where she is gradually sink
ing.
Dublin, Jan. 3.-Cullimore, the
Plan of Campaign leader on the
Kengstone estate, has been arrested
on the charge of melting the tenants
to illegal acts.
The tenants of the Kengstonc
estates held meeting at Mitchells-
town yesterday, Condor presiding,
and adopted resolutions declaring
the Land Commissioners reductions
of judicial rents inadequate; that
there would continue to be u Plan of
Campaign until evicted tenants
were reinstated and that they would
appeal for greater reductions.
Limerick, Jan. 3.-The municipal
authorities have conferred the free
dom of the city upon Sullivan, ex-
Lord Mayor OF Dublin.
London, Dec. 24.-Two Irish bills
will be introduced by the Cabinet
one to conciliate the Catholic Bishops
in reference to higher education ant
the other to provide for compro
mise between the landlords anG
tenants by advances to landlords
from the Treasury at 81 per cent
the loans to be repayable in Install
ments, the term extending ovel
