ThE SENATE TARIEE BILL.

The Republican members of the Senate
finance committee have given to the full
committee the tariff bill which they have
been engaged for some time past in franz
ing. AS yet the details of the bill are
aot made public and they will not be
given out until the Democratic minority
of the committee have opportunity to
prepare an adverse report. The general
scope of the proposed measure is known,
however. The reduction on sugar is half
the existing duty. The entire internal
revenue tax on tobacco, cigars and cigar
cites is taken off. Lumber and salt are
left as at present and so is wool, except
that on one grade of the latter the duty
is increased one per cent. Jute and 9TH
er bagging materials not produced in the
United States go on the free list; hemp
and flax are produced here and cOnse-
quently remain on the duitable list. The
bill it is stated, is intended to make re-
duction in the revenue of about 100000
600, as follows On tobacco, $50, ,OOO, 900
sugar, S25 100000; alcohol used in the
arts, $l0,000,000; free list, $4,000, 900.
The corresponding reductions in the Mills
bill are: Tobacco, Sl7 ,3Sl, ,l6l; sugar,
$l0,937 ,174; free list, $40, ,773, 500.
1t is not believed by the Republicans
of the committee that the bill will pass
the Senate and get to the House at the
current session. The only point consid-
cred is the debate, which is expected to
open on Tuesday next
Whether it was wise for the Republi-
cans to propose any tariff measure has
been doubted, but now that they have
brought in one the debate will be watched
with much interest. The differences be-
tween the two measures are radical, and
that the Senate's will meet the approval
of protectionists and of the North is
plain even now when so little is known

GEN, HARRISON TO THE FARMERS.

Gen. Harrison has shown by his speech
es to the delegations of one and another
kind of people who visit him that he is a
man of exceptional tact and good sense.
He always says something to the point
and never overdoes or underdoes it. Here,
for instance, is what he said to delega-
ton of farmers who called upon him the
other day:
You do not forget. farmers though you
are, that 90 per cent of the product of
your farms is consumed at home. and you
are too wise to put that in peril in a gree
dy search after foreign trade. You will
not sacrifice these great industries that
have created in our country consuming
class for your product. | do not think
there is any doubt what tariff policy Eng
land would wish us to adopt. and yet
some say that England is trembling lest
we should adopt free trade here and so
rob her of other markets that she now en-
joys. The story of our colonial days,
when England, with selfish and insatiate
avarice, laid her repressing hand upon
our infant manufactures and attempted to
suppress them all, furnishes the first OBJ
ject lesson she gave US. Another was
given when the life of this nation, the
child of England, as she had been wont
to call us, speaking the mother tongue,
having many institutions inherited from
her-was imperiled. The offer of free
trade by the confederacy so touched the
commercial greed of England that she
forgot the ties of blood and went to the
verge of war with us to advance the cause
of the rebel government. But what Eng.
land wants, or what any other country
wants is not very important-certainly
not conclusive. What is best for us ant
our people should be the decisive ques
ton.

THE SPEAkERSHlP,

There promises to be something of a
contest at Montpelier next week over the
speakership. The friends of Major Grout
of Derby naturally assert that he is enti-
tied to a reelection, but they are likely to
find it hard to make majority of the
House see it. AS matter of fact there
is no good reason why he should have the
place again. He is not man of con-
spicuous ability. There are half doz-
en- men in this part of the State who
would perform the duties of the position
quite as well as Major Grout, and who in
some particulars might do better.

Monday afternoon, by Sylvester Ploof of
Ferrisburgh, about quarter of a mile
from the shore at the point where the

A Destructive EIuid.

CDR. Junemann, All Austrian chem

the most destructive properties says
the Vienna correspondent of the Lon
don Times. This fluid when brought
into contact with air. after the ex-
plosion of she / in which it has been
contained, is transformed into a gas,
which being heavier than the air, de-
sends TO the ground. killing all men
and animals within its reach. and more
over destroying iron. bronze, and other
metals. as well as setting all infam-
mable things on fire. So at least the
inventor declares in letter published
In one of the Vienna newspapers, and
he adds that as far pack as 1848 lac
offered his invention to the Austrian
War Office, which, however, declined
both then and on q subsequent oc-
casion to make experiments For this
reason he now gives publicity to his
invention. as his patriotic feelings do
not allow him to reveal his secret tc

rae slANA INDIANS.
aabIts and Customs az Very Interesting
Tribe of Ahorigine<


Tribe Of 5horigine<
During last season. 1887. Prof. Pow
ell. director of the Bureau of Ethnol-
| Dgy. directed that certain researches
be made among the Siana Indians of
New Mexico. This tribe is located on
Il mesa (tableland) overlooking the
Rio JemezI a stream draining the
Jemez Mountains. and is one of the
tributaries of the Rio Grande. forming
a junction with that stream about
eighty miles south of Santa Fe. There
are three tribes of communal dweilers
located on this stream. the .Jemrz.
Sianas and the Santa Anas. the latter
two peoples speaking the same dialect.
No general results have been of greater
interest than those from Siana. This
tribe now only numbers about one
hundred and twenty-five individuals,
though the ruins of their former h:,b-
itations, which are immediately con-
nected with those of the present. indi-
cate an extensive population.
The habits and customs of these
people are in principle much like those
IF other Pueblos, yet their ceremoniais
are peculiar to themselves. Their
dances are all religious. one of which
Is the celebrated snake-dance. which
occurs every alternate year. This Pc
culiar dance occurs with only one
other Pueblo tribe. the Mokis. in Ari-
IONA. The Sianas, however. per-
form this dance in n secluded
spot some distance from their
present village. which is so
accessible to travellers that they are
much disturbed ut this time. Their
other ceremonies are numerous. and
are performed in supplication for pros
porous crops, for rain. and for prDtrc-
ton from disease and other mis-.
fortunes. The houses of their village
are composed of large. round lava
powders laid in mortar, on the same
general plan of construction as those
of other Pueblos. They are extremely
idolatrous in their worship. Their
estufas are stored with innumerable OBJ
jects of such worship. In one may be
seen large altar composed of various
animals representing the rattlesnake,
bear, wolf. panther. wildcat and a few
nude representations of mythic human
beings, which to them are their gods of
music. rain. war. etc. In different di-
rections. and not very far distant from
their village, are shrines for different
gods. representing different great elc-
ments, to which these Indians con-
tinually pray.
The bureau secured large and repre-
sentative collections of all the religious
and domestic objects possessed by the
tribe. also complete notes of their
myths. religious rites and ceremonials,
which are to be elaborated for one of
the forthcoming reports of the Bureau
of Ethnology.-Science.

Senator Ingalls, consumed consid-
cradle of the time of the United States
Senate while. with many = snap and a
snarl, he re;reated from his charge
that Generals Mcclellan and Hancock
were allies of the Confederacy. He
pulled himself out of the fix he had
got himself into by declaring that
his charge against the two Generals
was meant in n political sense. He
modified his sneer at McClellan's mill
tary loyalty while reiterating it
against his personal disposition
towards Lincoln's Administration. He
tried to make a eulogy of Hancock
military fame atone for his former at.
tack against his personal allegiance,
hut coupled it with as disengenious a
Misrepresentation of Hancock's con.
duct during the campaign of 1880 as
even the ultra-biiious Senator from
Kansas ever uttered. Perhaps, when
Mr.. Ingalls, sees how his retractior

THE SOUTHERN VOTE.

"A Wholesome Lesson Taught by the Re-
cent Louisiana victory.
One of the staple Republican cries
rs that the South maintained its solidi-
ty against the Republican party be-
cause there is not free and fair vote
an that section. They assume that the
number of colored votes in Southern
State represents the number of the Re-
publican votes. and that relatively
light vote is Indicative of suppression
of Republican votes Mr.. Vest in the
United States Senate recently, showed,
by comparison of the vote with the
whole voting population in number
of specially-selected Southern and
Northern States. taking in the whole
range from the lowest to the highest
percentage of vote to voting popula-
ton, the Southern States chosen out
ranked, one by one. the Northern
States with which comparisons were
instituted. AS Mr.. Vest explained,
sthe comparison was not wholly fair,
but it was in keeping with the Repub-
1fican line of argument. Comparing
the general average of the vote in
Northern and in Southern States. and
there is an excess in favor of the
former of about s tx per cent
The fullness or want thereof of the
vote in any State. be it Northern or
Southern. depends upon the earnest
ness with which the political contests
in such State are waged. Michigan
was more hotly contested in 1884 than
IN 1880, and the vote in comparison to
lafs -
larger in 1884. Ohio has a voting pop
ulation but little in excess of that of
Illinois. yet the popular vote of the
former was ITO. 900 larger than that of
the latter in 1884. and there has been
As great or greater disparity at every
election in. recent years According
to the Republican theory. as applied to
the South, this would indicate a terri
BILE suppression of Democratic votes in
Illinois. 1t simply indicates, however,
that Illinois has not been in recent
years canvassed from end to end with
the vigor and persistence that have
been shown in Ohio.
The recent election in Louisiana is
noteworthy as having brought out by
far the largest vote ever polled in the
State If fullness of vote is represen-
tative of freedom and fairness. it was
exceptionally free and fair. The vote
is from 60. 900 to 20. 900 heavier than ii
was in the Presidential election OF
1884. and 40. 600 to so. 600 heavier than
that cast at the election for Governor
in April four years ago. The Demo
cratic vote in the State is nearly, il
not fully, twice that given for Cleve-
land, and so, 900 to 40. 600 more than
NdeEnery polled for Governor in April
1884, The Republican vote in num-
Der of parishes is heavier than it was
in either April or November, 1884. and
the aggregate in the State will be as
large as at either election. Tho great
