The Legislature.

But ten days of the session remain. Now
look out for the insidious orders to pay news
paper correspondents as though they were
employees of the Legislature instead OF the
newspaper Offices. Also, to pay extra fees
to clerks and others. This is the time for all
sorts of raids upon the Treasury. No new
bill can be introduced into the Legislature
after to-day, but the snakes in the bills already
introduced, will now begin to crawl vigorous
Iy. Too much vigilance cannot be exercised
to guard legislation against the schemes OF
interruptions sharpers who throng the Capital
at every session.

The Effects of the Tariff.

Judge William d. Kelley. of Philadelphia
is the oldest member of the House of Repre-
sentatives and champion of the present high
tariff. In letter to the Times of that city OF
the 10th instant he lays before the country
some of the results of our present Ubiquitous
tariff which rests like a blight upon the bust
ness interests of the whole people, except the
protected few who are rapidly becoming mil
lionaires while the masses are becoming bank
rupts.
''Duriug the past FIVE years, 1883 to 1887
inclusive, the recorded bankruptcies have
numbered 5l,O97, or more than 200 per
arnum, and the total Indebtedness OF these
bankrupts amounted to S767, GS1 $40, an av-
erage Of Sl53, 539, 5S4 per annum."
Judge Kelley may hot see in all this finan-
cial wreck and ruin any necessity for reduc
ing the taxes levied through the tariff, bnt
facts like these speak trumpet-tongued for
reform and warn the country against further
delay in relieving the burdens of the people,
who are still paying war taxes although more
than twenty years have elapsed since the war
closed

The bill for the issue of $15,odo,0oo in
fractional currency has passed the House.
The only value of this kind of currency IS its
convenience for use in the mails, but those
who remember how filthy and forbidding 1t
became during the war, will not wish to see
il in use again. There would seem 10 be no
real need Of ii, as the postal notes have
served their purpose well. They are issued
at any postal station, and upon any postmas7
Ter where there is a money order Office.

A despatch from Billings, Montana on
Tuesday, says the Yellowstone river ice is
breaking up and forming ice gorges. The
big bridge of the Rocky Fork Railway went
ont with an ice gorge Saturday hight.
Streams are rising rapidly and washouts are
numerous. At Rosebud a trestle gave way,
precipitating freigh: train twenty feet below.
The cars were smashed to kindling wood.
No lives were lost. The Union Pacific Rail-
road is seriously troubled with washouts at
several places along the line. The worst
difficulty is near Mercer, where the Platte
river rose and carried away several hundred
feet of track. When the road bed gave way
freight train was crossing and the engine
and three or four cars we're swept into the
river.
