A special from Washington to the

A special from Washington to the
Courier-Journal says: The boys in
the Senate who have heretofore had
incidental leanings in the direction
of high protective tariff are rapidly
falling into line with the revenue re-
formers. Only two weeks ago Sena-
tor Voorhees, made an out and out
tariff for reform speech, and Thurs
day the bright and able young Sena-
tor, Mr.. KennR of West Virginia,
made strong and convincing argu-
ment in support of the late admirable
revenue reform message of President
Cleveland. Mr.. Kenna spoke to full
Senate and crowded galleries, and it
was noticeable that many prominent
West Virginia gentlemen were pre-
sent. The speech of Senator Kenna
was evidently prepared with great
care and he used no unnecessary
words in making his points. lie was in
fne voice and displayed unexpected
eloquence.
lie spoke of the demands of the
people for relief from an ordinary,
exorDltant and unnecessary burden,
He demanded the REIMBURSEMENT OF
these excessive demands upon The
public purse, and for the liberation OF
the people from the exaction of mo-
no2oly and corporate greed. lie was
listened to throughout with marked
and universal attention, and when
Mr.. Sherman, interrupting, under
took to answer his quotations from
Mr.. Sherman's record of 1867, it was
amusing and entertaining to the aud
itors to hear Mr.. Kenna quote i'm
mediately afterward Mr.. Sher-
mans own utterances of 1882, which
completely met and refuted his at
tempted defense.
Mr.. Sherman in an excited and
vehement response undertook to ex-
plain away the Contract labor bill"
of 1864, and the land subsidies of the
period following, but never pretend
ed to touch the main and principle
issues which had been hurled at him
by his Democratic opponent. The
Democratic members of the Senate
congratulated Mr.. Kenna on his COM
plete exposure of the tactics of John
Sherman in the tax and revenue af-
fairs of the Government. In a word
Mr.. Kenna clearly presented to the
country the real issue before the peo-
pie, a popular demand for relief from
heavy taxation. In Senator Kenna
the President had warm and fear
less champion.

The Secretary of the Treasury has
received twenty-five cents from a
conscience citizen of Fitch
burg, Mass, who states in the accom-
panying letter that some thirty years
ago he erased the cancellation marks
from a fve-cent postage stamp and
used it again.-Courier journal.
Truly we have found an honest
confession and if every one who used
stamps that had been through the
above process were to send the Secre-
tary of the Treasury twenty-five cents
for every stamp so used the amount
would purchase free stamps for the
public for years to come.

The Post-ofiice Department has de-
termined to arm, at the expense of the
Government, every postal employe
on all mail trains running through
sparingly settled portions of the Far
West, owing TO the alarming frequen-
cy of attacks of robbers on such
routes. The most improved weapons
and plenty Of ammunition will be
furnished so that the employees viii
be prepared to defend themselve

from these "road agents." whose at
lacks have been so frequent of late
There is also a proposition on foot t,
arm train men running on Western
railroads. With train men, expires
messengers and postal employees
properly armed and equipped, trai
robbery in the Far West would be
thing of the past.

If the Legislature appropriates

without doing as much for Graves

also destroyed by incendiaries a few

ness begins, where will it end? The
