There were more decorated wagons, log cabins and

that parties Interested In the production OF
sugar from soSdhum or beets are confident of
the rspid development of those industries in the
United States. the COMMITTEES would recommend
q still greater reduction In the rate of duty upon
sugar. as the advantages of this production
would be felt throughout a larger circle than any
other which could be made in our tariff sched-
ules.
your committee have considered numerous
suggestions for the repeal of all internal reve-
nue. taxes and the abolition of the entire inter-
pai-revenus system; but they deem the adoption
of this course at present both impracticable and
unwise, not only because the repeal of these
taxes would create a large annual deficit, but
for the further reason that the taxes levied on
distilled spirits used as a beverage, and on beer,
should be retained, and the legislation TO pro-
tect American DAIRY products from fraudulent
limitations should be enforced
VIEWS OF THE MINORITY.
The minority members of the committee say
they were not consulted or informed of the
contents of the bill until it was reported TO the
full COMMITTEES on Sept p. They claim that
tbs sub -committee spent its time in hearing the
of manufacturers who have a per-
soual interest in maintaining q high tariff, while
the great body OF the people were ignored. In
presenting q report the minority say: 'The sd-
vocates of the substitute freely propose TO re-
duce duties or abolish them on those things
which yield only government revenue, but
refuse To reduce or abolish duties on those
things which favored private revenue But the
minority think it safe to say that the chief re-
ducrions in tariff taxation. as provided by the
substitute. are confined to the articles of sugar
aud rice, with iute and a few other unlm-
poriaut articles put upon the free list,
while there IS an increase OF duties i'm

ance Of a positive mandate of the supreme

A Novel Contest.

MILWAUKEE, March l3.-Black.. River
Falls in this state for years was known to
fame as the town of William I. Price,
whose unique personality was a leading
feature in the hall of representatives at
Washington. Since Prices death the
town has rather retired within itself. 1t
has been awakened from its somnolenceb by
a novel contest. Two young farmers liv-
ing near were rival suitors for the hand of
a bright eyed little beauty who bestowed
her smiles impartially on both for a time.
She managed to handle her unruly team
without trouble. If she went to a singing
school with one, she would balance the
favor by accepting the escort of the other
to a country dance. At last the storm
broke and a challenge was sent by one of
the suitors. Not one OF your Mississippi
challenges, with bowie knives at arm
length, but a gentlemanly challenge for an
athletic encounter with gloves, marquis of
Queensbury rules. The challenge was ac-
cepted and the principals met with their
seconds and a few friends in a barn.
The first three rounds were unevent-
tul. The pillows prevented either one
from hurting the other. This was not at
all satisfactory, as physical damage was
the main object Of the encounter. AT the
close of the third round one of the confess
tants ierked off his gloves and dared his
antagonist to do likewise. No country boy
cantake a dare. OFF came the other pair of
gloves, and at it they went with bare
knuckles. The next nine rounds were
smuggling matches. At the end of the
twelfth round both men were in a horri-
BILE condition and unable to proceed.
The seconds decided that wounded honor
had been satisfied, and suggested the
lady's hand to be the subject OF arbitra-
ton. The lady herself settled the ques-
ton by shaking both the pugllists, as soon
as she learned of the encounter, and took
up with a third party.
