THE REVENUE BILL.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Ihe democratic
majority of the ways and means committee
to-day submitted to the full committee the
internal revenue bill. 1t provides that af-
ter July l, 1888, all taxes on manufactured
chewing tobacco, smoking tobacco and
snuff, all special taxes upon manufacturers
OF and dealers in said articles and all taxes
upon wholesale and retail dealers in leaf
tobacco shall be repealed. A rebate is al
lowed upon all original and unbroken
packages then held. After that date man
ufacturers of cigars shall each pay spec
ial tax Of $S annually and dealers in
tobacco shall each pay special tax OF ST.
annually. For violation of the internal
laws the court may impose any penalty or
fine not exceeding the maximum in the
present statutes. Other sections define the
conditions under which warrants are to be
issued and the officers before whom trial
is to be held. The bill
REDUCES THE PENALTY
for nOn-payment OF tax from 100 to rs per
cent. 1t repeals the law which permits the
destruction OF a still prior to a hearing be.
fore court of proper Jurisdiction. The
act relating to fruit brandy is extended so
as to cover brandy destilled from apples,
peaches and other fruits. All laws i'm
posing any special taxes upon manufac-
turers of and retail dealers in destilled
liquors and retail dealers in malt liquors
are repealed. The act shall be in force
from the 1st Of next July and all laws in

total reduction in the revenue made by this
bills about S25,0OO, 600, made up of S2O,-
100000 on tobacco and $5,O0O,OOO on liquors
By a party vote the bill was added to the
Mills tariff bill, making one bill of the
whole.
REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION.
The presentation of the bill was the
signal for vigorous onslaught by the re-
publican members upon their democratic
colleagues. They roundly denounced the
majority for their conduct in the prepara-
ton of this tariff bill, and their indigna-
ton was heightened when the proposition
was put and carried, despite their objec-
ton, to consolidate in one measure the
tariff and revenue bills. 1t was then sug-
gested by the republicans, in view of the
apparent determination of the majority to
begin immediate consideration of the bill,
that manufacturers and producers whose
interests might be affected by the bill
should be afforded an opportunity to ad-
dress the committee on the subject. This
proposition did not seem to meet with favor
at the hands of the majority. who said
plenty of information could be gotten from
printed matter.

represented constituency which had sent
three men into the union army for one man
that Kansas had sent. What cause of
grievance the senator had had that war
ranted him in applying language to the
chief magistrate which would not be per-
missible on the hustlngs he did not know.
He would say it would be disgraceful even
to be employed by fishwomen. He knew
but one wrong which the president had
committed in the eyes of the senator from
Kansas. 1t was that of having defeated
the senator's party at the polls. He had
given to the American people for the three
years past so efficient and so honest an ad-
ministration as to doom the last of repub-
lican aspirations to disaster The senator
from Kansas had not spared the sanctity
Of the grave. Hancock, all ally of con-
federates! Was he so regarded and be-
lieved when. weltering in his blood on
Cemetery Heights, he refused to be re-
moved from the field and persisted in CIV
ing orders which checked the last advance
OF Longstreet's irresistible batallions {?
What was the Kansas senator's occupation
in military capacity? He was Judge ad-
vocate OF the Kansas volunteers. What
are you to think of the arguments Of a sen
ator who will leave his seat as presiding
officer and come to the floor? 1t is an IL
lustration of partisan zeal which am glad
to say have never seen equalled. The
state of Texas sent to congress term after
term distinguished union soldier in the
person Of Governor Hancock. The state
of Arkansas sent in recent years from a
democratic constituency union soldier to
represent her in the other house Of

The following extract from a recent
speech of Hon. William r. Morrison Of
Illinois is an excellent statement Of the
democratic position respecting tariff Ia
the present contest. Speaking of our plat
form, he says;
Ii doesn't mean free trade. There Is an.
nually required S2OO,000OO or at least
$lSOOOO 700, for the expenditures Of the

A Railway Engineers Sentence.

Something yer q year ago q pas.
senger train on tho Mexican Central.
south-bound. came very ncar running
over q drove of burros, but the en-
gineer pulled the whistle, rang the
bell, and put on the air brakes, which
scared the lazy burros. On reaching
chihuahua the fireman was oiling up,
and noticed u Mexican on the pilot.
To the great surprise of the fireman
and engineer it was discovered that
the Mexican's head was crushed and
the pilot was covered with blood. The
engine had run into the poor victim
who was guarding the burros, aud
lifted him onto the pilot.
The engineer, fireman and conduct
or were arrested and taken befnre.the
court, and the engineer was held in
large bonds. Afterward the bonds
were reduced. and finally another and
higher court cut the bonds down to
$500. and the matter remained in that
shape until very recently. Jim Burn
EFT is the engineers name. He con-
tinucd running an engine up and down
the road until the strike. when he went
out with the strikers to Paso del Nortc.
He crossed over to Ell Paso once or
twice, and his friends urgently re-
qucsted him to stay and settle with
his bondsmen. This he considered
unnecessary, and continued to go
across the river. The last time he
went over he was arrested, tried, and
a few days ago given ten years i'll Jail.

Bad Fire.

PROVIDENCE, II. l., Feb. 16.-Fire
broke out about 12 o'clock last night in
the large commercial and manufacturing
block IN Fountain and Eddy streets. and
although the building was considered fire
proof, in fifteen minutes the flames had
full possession of the entire structure.
A fierce northwest wind prevailed and
caused the flames to spread with great
rapidity. In half an hour after the fire
started the entire two squares were q solid
mass of flames, and in another half hour
were in ruins. AT two u. m. the tircmcn
had apparently gotten the flames under
control though the fire was as bright then
as ut any time since it started. What
with cold high wind and broken down
wires the fircmcn worked under great
disadvantage. At 2:55. two entire squares
and half of the third wcrein ruins. Two
men are supposed to have been buried
beneath the falling walls, but no other
losses of life are reported. This is the
most extensive fire the city has ever
known. The total loss is estimated ut
from five hundred to seven hundred thou
sand dollars. No statement of insurance
can vet be had.
