saul,bury Defends the Presidents Mes
sage Minor Measures.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-In the Senate
to-day, adverse reports were made on the
bill to reorganize the civil service, and on
the bill for the publication of summary
of the tenth census.
The order for consideration of minor
bills on the calendar was continued for to-
morrow.
Mr. Salisbury then addressed the Senate
on the subject of the Presidents annual
messrge. The Democratic party he said
had always maintained AID still held,
that the only proper motive OF taxation
was to provide the necessary revenue for
the wants OF the Government, and that
every man was bound TO contribute his
lust share. Taxation for any other pur-
pose was unjust and indefensible. The
Democratic party was in favor of the re-
vision and reduction OF the tariff, and
would carry il ont unless thwarted in its
own purpose, BY q combination of Demo-
Gratis (Actuated By local interests) with
Republicans who favored high rates.
The following bills were passed: A bill
to provide for commission on the subject
