A Sectional Tariff.

/ From tlae y. Y. Tribune.
Another Southern Tariff bill has been
passed by the House. It is direst fruit of
that great crime against against free govern
ment by which freedom of voting in the
Southern States was prevented and President
Cleveland was elected. Including men pair
ed, 63 Northern members voted for the meas
ure and lil against it. With the Northern
States more than two to one against the bill
il nevertheless passed, because l05 Sout hern-
ers were for it, of which AT least twenty bad
been secured by fraud Sectional in its ORR
gin and spirit, peculiarly sectional in its pro-
visions and in the theory which shaped it,
this bill cannot carry single Northern state
and yet it will be imposed upon the indus
tries of the North-unless the Senate defeats
it-by votes obtained in Southern States
through iagrant defiance Of the Constitution
and the laws.
If the Northern people vi sh 10 be ruled
in that way, ifthey are willing TO have their
industries prostrated and their prosperity ar
rested by a sectional measure passed by
Southern crimes, they will continue to sncer
at the bloody shirt " and to permit the
Democratic party to govern the country.
This great city and the crowded adjacent
population from which the Democrtic party
draws all its hopes of success have deep in
terest in the result, and yet cannot defend
their industries against the foreign influence
here prevailing. But for the population
within ten miles of the City II all New Ier-
sey would not be doubtful. and New York
would give over $1,000 majority against free
trade and the sectional policy of the Demo
cratic party. But here the foreign agents
and those identified in interest with them
have something to gain by free trade Ont
side Of this little circle the great Northern
States have everything TO lose by breaking
down home industries. and it Is for the peo-
pie Of those States to say whether a sectional
Southern policy shall prevail. They can
outvote this city and its environs if they
choose.
Even after a Democratic Congress had
been elected by Southern crimes this or any
sun Uttli tcsti-
en- but for the patronage and irresistible
power of a President who had deliberately
chosen TO serve the South and to betray the
North. More than twenty Democratic mem
bers were pledged TO their constituents to
support the policy outlined by Mr.. Randall,
of Pennsylvania, but have been bullied or
bribed into betraying the interests of CON
stituents. To some Sham Reform has prom
ised places in navy yards, custom houses and
postofiices to some ii has promised jobs and
contracts aud some ii has brought 20 their
knees by the threat tina. the paid hirelings of
the Administration would pack conventions
to defeat them unless they yielded
1t is good thing for the country that the
irresistible momentum toward a Southern
policy within the Democratic party has been
thus plainly shown before the Presidential
election.

NEW YoRk, july ls-The United States
Secret Service agents have been busy FOR Inc
past week in attempting TO trace the new =
silver certificates, They are most the danger
Gus that have appeared III this city ior many
years. The bill is not the same one that has
been puzzling the Secret Service men in the
West for six months back. but was isoated
in this city less than two weeks ago II has
not appeared elsewhere. 50 faF rs can be
learned The bill is almost like the genuine
bill after being hadieSl sor some time. The
green ink in the note : lighter than that n
the genuine, but the difference is only no
ticeable when the counterfeit is compared
with the genuine. None of the silk iihres
that distinguishes the government bills IS
found in the counterfeit, nor is there any
imitation of it. In the blank spaces, where
the fibre is usually most easily distinguished
however, the paper has crumpled appear
ance that is very deceptive. a number of
arrests have been made of Italians, who have
been mainly concerned in scattering the
counterfiets.
A new counterfeit was discovered to-day
that is even more dangerous than the - certi-
ficates. Ii is 81 silver certificate, evident
ly the work of the same hands that produced
the s. bill. 1t has the same merits and the
same defects, but 81 bill is likely TO pass
current more easily than - bill This Is
the first counterfeit 81 bill that has been well
executed Treasury Agent Brooks placed
the counterfeit beside genuine bill for a re-
porter to-day, and it required 4 close scrutiny
to tell which was genuine Mr.. Brooks
said that although both the new counterfeit
bills were being circulated by Italians he did
not believe they had produced them.

The Anarchist Plot.

CHICAGO, Jaly l9.-Frank Chieboun, the
I brown-haircd bio e-eye,l, swect.voieesl iiend
who. with John Iir5uek. aud Frank Che
pek, schemed to mur,ier Judge Gray, Judge
| GrinneIl and Inspector BOniield, has made
| full and complete confession. Chleboun was
locked up at the armory yesterday, rs were
| the other two and when Chepek was taken
to the central station and Hronek 20 jail,
Chlebourn was sent TO an outlying police
station. He was not subjected, as were the
others, TO the ordeal of having his picture
taken for the rogues' gallery.
Last night Inspector Bonield, aecompa-
MED by two of his Bohemian secret service
operatives, clad in workingmens suits, with
soft black hats and blue flannel shirts, visit
ell the innocent looking prisoners. The pre-
ceding day he intimatei that he was ready
to tell ell he knew, and last evening the in
spector went to hear his story.
Through the Interpreters, Chleboun went
into the whole story from his first meeting
with Hronek and Chepek. After telling
now he became acquainted with them, his
confession was that Hronek had unfolded
his plans for revenge and had told OF bomb
which he QIronekl had invented. IL was
small, no larger than baseball, and was to
be loaded with dynamite and bits of
broken glass. 1t was denied by ChIeboun
that the plot was to murder the judges and
the inspector That is he heard of no such
definite scheme. They were talked of as
was Captain Schaak, and he understood he
was to pay more atteation to the captain
than to anyone else There was no concerto
ell plan of action, but it was agreed that
when all preparations were made he and two
Others were to be informed by Hronek at the
door just what they were to do in the way
of ayenging the dead martyrs" About
July 1st he was visited by Hronek, who
brought him two bombs OF the broken glass
variety, aud two sticks of dynamite from
which he was to make bombs of gas pipe af
ter the usual pattern The other two men
were also supplied with bombs and dyna-
mite. lie had the stuff in his house for about
week, and then grew 50 afraid that it
would be discovered that he made away
with it by throwing it into privy.
This was the substance of the confession
which Inspector Bonfield to-day placed in
the hands of type writer operator for the
purpose of having it put in shape for use in
court. The confession IS much more in de
tail and covers about thirty closely printed
pages.
By his confession it is undersood Chile
boun has virtually secured immunity from
prosecution. He is in reality much less
guilty than either Hronek, Chepek or any
one of the men yet arrested. He has agreed
to give his testimony in open court, when it
will corroberate the other evidence secured
by the inspector against the conspiraters.
The other men are sill at large, but may be
arrested at any moment.

RandaH III with Cancer.

New YORK, July 22.-The Worlds Wash
ington correspondent says Ten days ago it
was iniimated that Samuel J. Randall would
in all probability not be again able to re-
sumo his seat in this Congress, and also that
his physicians might forbid his ever again
accepting 4 nomination TO any public office.
This fear has within the past few days be-
come certainty.
The long and honorable public career of
this faithful servant of the people is definite
ly ended, for his physicians have discovered
that he is suffering from cancer of the stom-
ach, and they are forced to the convection
that it is incurable. Their examination has
not proceeded further than this as yet, and
there is al least hope that the effects of the
naalady are not Immediately dangerous.
When Mr. Randall was suddenly striken a
fortnight ago his family physician, Doctor
Thomas Mallon, had not known he had
been previously under treatment for hemor-
rhases. He had apparently arse concealed
the fact from his family but it is now known
that Dr. Robert Martin, of Philadelphia,
had performed operations upon him for the
disease. lie was away from home when a
telegram was sent summoning him here, and
Dr. Nathan Lincoln, the eminent physician
of this city, was called in consultation by
Dr. Mallon
Both, after careful examination, united in
deciding that the disease is without question
cancer of the stomach They decline to ex-
press any opinion or give statement to the
public, but it is known that both have ex-
pressed themselves without reserve to asso-
ciate physicians and that the sad truth can
not longer be concealed. Mr. Randall him
self had previously had no suspicion of the
fact but bears It's revelation with character
istic forttude.
1t has been stated that he would shortly
be removed TO his home in Pennsylvania.
DIR. Mallon, however, is very uncertain of
the prudence OF this. In few days an ex-
act diagnosis of his condition will be possi-
BILE and its result will decide whether it will
be best to take him from Washington
PHILADELPHIA, July 23.-Dr Il. w. Mar
tin, Mr. Randal's family physician, said TO-
day that there was no truth in the report
that Mr.. Randall was suffering from a cam
Ger. lie says Mr.. Randall has been a very
sick man without knowing it for several
years that his disease is organic, but that
Mr. Randall is ignorant of its character and
that all his physicians have agreed it shall
not be made public.
The doctor tone and actions, as well as
his language, indicated that he has very lit
tie, if any, hope that Mr. Randall will ever
recover sufficiently to re-enter public life.
DR.. Martin told friend on Friday that le
was afraid Mr.. Randall cannot be brought
from Washington until he was brought in
an ice box.

THE four Democrats who refused TO
pull in the traces and vote for the Mills
hill came from the two great States, New
York and Pennsylvania. The position
of the two Pennsylvanians- s-Randall and
Sowden-has no special significance.
Their State is safely Republican anyway,
but il is deeply significant that the other
two recruits come from New York. If
two of the four Democratic Congressman
who could not be coaXed or bulldozed
into voting for free trade come from New
York, the fair inference is that the defec-
ton in the ranks Of the party will be
unusually large in that State. 1t is not
important whether the Democratic party
can poll its full vote or not in Pennsyl-
vania, but if il cannot do il in New York
it is irretnevably lost Four years ago
the Republican free traders left the party
and now it is in order for the protection

shazzar of the White House see the hand
writing on the wall, and "catch on" TO
the meaning of the fact that one-half of
all the Democratic opposition in the
House of Representatives came from his
own very close Siateof New York?
