Washington telegram.

Representative Guenther of Wisconsin
says that the Democratic party can never
carry Wisconsin il Congress passes the
tariff bill that was presented recently by the
Committee on Ways and Means. For" he
said, IF the bill Is passed the lumber in
terests of the northern part of the State
will be ruined. In the sawmills alone our
people have $20,000,000 invested, and they
give employment to 8. 500 men. Ihave not
got the figures for the last year, but by the
census os 1880 the annual amount of wages
paid in the mills alone, without including
those paid for logging. WIS 1925, 21S. If
lumber is put on the free list it will simply
wipe out this investment, deprive our peo-
pie Of the wages, and take the business
over to Canada. where labor is much cheap
er, the cost of transportation lower, and
where the lumbermen can put their product
down in the Chicago market at lower
price than we can do. 1t will simply
knock us all to pieces. Since 1880 the
amount of wages paid in the mills has
immensely increased, and the money
is all paid out in o few counties
in the northern part OF the State.
If this money is Withdrawn the people will
starve to death, and not only will the mill
hands be thrown out of employment, but
the farmers, manufacturers and mechanics
ticipating some such action by Congress,
have been investing very largely in Canada
pine lands, and if the bill is passed they
will transfer their business over there.
The eastern counties of the State will be
seriously affected by placing peas ON the
free list, which the people there grow very
largely in competition with the French
farmers, and are only enabled to do SO by
the duty now paid"
"How many Republicans will vote for
this bill2"
"Only two that know Of, and they are
Nelson and Lind of Minnesota
"Will the bill pass the House2'
mo: there are only two Republicans
who will vote for it, and we know, of
course, that Randall's followers are numer-
Gus enough to make a majority with the
Republican vote"

that II can not be claimed that the measure
does not fairly represent the views Of the
united Democratic party. The object
therefore, Of these leaders IL 10 reduce the
Randall minority faction to the narowest
possible limits so a. TO avoid placing them
selves In the position Of having presented
bill which not only cannot pass the House,
but which will have the effect OF showing
q serious and irreconcilable division In the
Democratic party upon the tariff. The
Democratic leaders In the House have set
for themselves this task, and the Republic
can leaders. some OF whom announce that
they understand the chief function OF the
opposition to be to oppose. intend, II pos
sible. to prevent the Democratic leaders
from accomplishing this purpose, and ex.
pect not only TO defeat the Mills bill, but
70 make II clear at the outset of the Presi-
dentill campaign that the Democracy IL
hopelessly divided as to the tariff. No
one expects that bill substantially like
the bill which Mr.. Mills has submitted to
the Committee on Ways and Means will
become law. Both parties are skirmish-
ing for position as to the question which
il now seems certain will be q leading
feature in the Presidential contest. II
there were any OF the leaders on the DEM
ocratic side who believed that it would be
possible by speedy action in the House to
take the tariff question out of the Presi-
dental contest, they must by this
time admit that they were self
deceived. The movements Of each party
here every day make it clearer that
the chief issue of the campaign, and almost
the only great issue which can be said to
divide the parties, Is to be the tariff. And
from this time until the adjournment OF
Congress, date which certainly will be
later than that of the last national conven-
ton, the tendency in the chief debates in
the two houses will be toward the tariff
question:; the whole subject Of the tariff
was in fact fought over last week incident
ally in the debate upon the dependent pen-
sion bill. The rules and customs and
courtesy of the Senate allow SO much lati-
tude in that body that it may be said to be
always in committee of the whole, SO
that upon any text or upon any pretext q
Senator can discuss the tariff; and the in
dications are that the Senators will avail
themselves of this opportunity and not
wait until the tariff bill shall be brought
before them by the submission to the Sem
ate of bill from the House. Indeed, some
Of the Republican Senators sneerirgly as
sert that if they shall wait until that vote
occurs there will not be an opportunity to
discuss the tariff at this session.

(Chicago special.
The Republican patty of Illinois sound
ed the first toot on its 1888 horn on Tuesday
last. The State Central Committee met to
call n convention, but the committees
identity was lost in swarm of Republic
ans who came to talk and pull nominating
wires. To name the prominent men Of
the party who were there would be to name
every Republican leader in the State ex-
cept Uncle Dick Oglesby.
A. NJ. Jones, in calling the committee to
order, said he understood 1t was the deter
minntion of every Republican of the State
to take off his overcoat after the convention
and keep it of until the State ticket is
elected.

the boys by brilliant fight Of oratery over

for the Presidency, but when he spoke the

man, and when the applause had subsidized
somebody gave another whoop, and the
applause broke out again and again.
Mr.. Jones read a dispatch from Senator
Cullom, in which he saws: "The Republic

Sending Messages by an Insect.

A common cockroach was trained to
act rs letter carrier between William
Rodifer and Starlight Jack" Ryan,
convicts in the Southern Indiana Peni-
tertiary. 1t is probably the first in
stance on record, too, where there was
any use found for this little creature.
Rodifer occupied cell in the tier just
above the one where Jack was confined,
and for long time they had no means
of communicating with each other.
Rodifer was a daring fellow, but he had
not sufficient imagination to get up q
plan of escape, and he relied on the
bright mind of his friend Starlight
Jack" Ito suggest an idea. One even
ing RodiferRnoticed an innocent-look-
ing cockroach running about on the
floor. After watching its gambolings
for time he concluded he could use
it. So writing o short note to his friend
he tied it to the cockroach's wing, and,
kneeling down on the floor, he put it
out on the wall under the iron balcony
in front of his cell. He calculated that
it would run into the cell underneath.
And it did. Jack noticed the paper,
caught the insect and read the note.
Then he answered it, and, poking the
little creature out on the wall from the
ceiling over the door, he released it.
The roach went into Rodifer's cell and
was caught. Then they fed and cared
for it, and used it in this manner for
some months. In fact, it grew to I'M
derstand its business. 1t must have
been female cockroach, however, for
one day it stopped to chat with friend,
and was noticed by the Warden. The
note, which was written in some sort
of cipher, was taken off. and the hos
pital steward, DR.. Sid G. Mcclure,
read it. Then the bug was put on the
balcony floor and it ran into Rodifer's
cell. Thus the officials kept posted as
to the plans of the two famous jail
breakers. After q time Jack began to
suspect that something was wrong and
lie added q postscript to his letter
something like this: eff everything is all
right you will find hair from my head
in this note" The Warden read it as
he did the others, but dropped the hair
and lost it. "Never mind il, said Cap
tain Craig, whose hair was red. put
one of mine in it." The answer came
back: THAT last whipping must have
been an awful one, Jack, for il has
changed the color of your hair"
The scheming of these two worthless
came to naught, however, and they
served their terms. Times.

Tie Republican members of the Com
nittee on Ways and Means and the Re-
publican members OF the Senate Commit
tee on Finance have hada number of con-
ferences within the last few weeks upon
the bill which it is thought the Republi-
cans of the House can agree as n substi-
tute for the Ways and Means Committee
bill. More conferences have been held
since the text of the Mills bill became
public. Some of the Republican leaders
have had the benefit of conferences with
Mr.. Randall, and have been advised as to
the general features of the measure which
he will propose. There Is an unwilling
ness on the part OF some Of the Republi-
can members of the Senate Committee on
Finance to follow in the lead of Mr.. Ran
dali. One of these Senators, who is most
active In tariff matters, says that
the Republicans. in the House ought
10 seize their opportunity and not permit
themselves TO be made q tail TO Mr.. Ran
dall's kite, as they were in the last Con-
gress. But the Republican members of
the WAYS and Means Committee are not so
anxious on the subject of being made the
tail o. Mr.. Randalls kite as they are 10
defeat the Mills bill. They are advised
that the Democratic policy is this: The
leaders Of the Ways aud Means Committee
don't expect to pass the Mills bill through
the House, although nj one time some OF
them expected that that would be possible;
but they do intend to make IL the basis OF
an issue, and have hoped TO be able to so
adjust the differences in the Democratic
party on the subject of the taiiff that the
number of Democrats who, after these
concessions shall have been made, will vote
against the bill, will be so inconsidernble
