Points About the Deadlock.

1t has been discovered since the flibuster-
ing against the direct tax bill began that
powerful lobby is supporting the bill. and
that very large percentage of the money
which 1t appropriates will go into the peck
cts of this lobby if it is passed. The bill
provides for the return of Sl7 900, 600 to the
States which paid this direct tax and about
all of these States have made contracts
which allow agents a very handsome por
ton of any money which they Tay recover.
New York's agent will get 1919, sl5, Mary
lands S37l ,299, Massachusetts, $4,000,
Michgan's $40, 900, Pennsylvania's about
S250,0J0, and other States sums as large in
proportion to the amount due them.
Mr.. Oates, of Alabama, who is the leader
OF the filibusters, offered a resolution last
week providing for a committee to inquire
into the charge that a great deal of the
money would not reach the Treasures of
the States entitled to it, but would be paid
to lobbyists. The friends of the bill, how
ever, objected, and it was defeated. The
bill, as it passed the Senate, contained
provision that no part of the money should
be paid TO lobbyists, but for some reason or
other that has not been explained, the Jul
dietary Committee of the House, which
has charge of the bill, left this provision
out of it. Why was it left out! Was the
Judiciary Committee induced to do so by
outside inGuences.
There is another singular thing which the
public would like to have explained. 1t is
this: The two Republican members of the
Committee on Rules and Mr.. Randall made
rule, which is said to be Unprecedented
which compelled the Judiciary Committee
to take up this direct tax bill first, while
all the other committees were permitted, as
is customary, to call up their bills in what
ever order they pleased Why was there
such haste in forcing this direct tax bill be-
fore the House when there were other, and
far more important, bills awaiting copsid-
erationg These and some other questions
the public would like to have answered be-
fore condemning the filibusters.
1t is true that very valuable time is being
wasted, and that the passage of the Mills
tariff bill is being endangered, but if it be
true that if the direct tax bill is passed
lot Of lobbyists will be enriched to the ex-
tent of millions of dollars, and the reduc-
ton of the surplus which this bill will effect
will he made an argument by the protec-
tionists against reduction of the tariff, the
country will be slow to condemn the fill
busters.
Mr. Oates says that if the bill reaches the
point of being considered he will offer an
amendment to it making an appropriation
to pay the cotton tax The amount of this
tax that was collected is sos, 072, 1888 80, and
if this amendment is offered the great parlia-
mentary battle may present some new and
very interesting features.

A Handsome Meerschaum Pipe.
From the B1tfaIo Co,triei

rFOHt He OtUutO CUMteT.
Perhaps the finest specimen of a meerschaum
pipe in the United States is owned by James
Arlington of East Aurora, this county. 1t was
made as a masterpiece from the factory of Franz
HESS ViennaheSs, Germany, and was exhibited
in Germany, England and France. and after
ward taken to Sidney, Australia by the manu-
facturers agent. 1t was there sold to a large
tobacco dealer, who valued it at $500, and from
whom Mr.. Addngton bought it The pipe is 10
inches in length from the bowl to the tip of the
mouthpiece. The bowl is " inches high and
represents an old stump with the bark partially
fallen off, and from the back of which has
sprouted a young scrub, the leaves and branches
of which are perfect. On the front of the
stump is lizard; at the base of the stump are
the most delicate leaves and ferns. On the
stem, which is about % of an inch in diameter
and inches long, is carved bed of ferns and
grass, in which are standing three perfectly
formed horses The horses are so exquisitely
carved that each muscle is visible. The bowl
and stem are carved by hand from one piece of
meerschaum. Attached to the stem is an amber
mouthpiece inches long, on which is carved
a horses head For this mouthpiece alone Mr..
Arlington has been offered SIS 1t is very sell
dom that such an elegant piece of hand carving
as this pipe is to be seen. 1t took the workman
three years to complete the task he having tried
seven pieces of meerschaunl before finding
piece out of which the pipe could be cut.

Talmage,s Unsuccessful Mission.


Talmage, the New York rice man, is not
much of diplomatist He came here smiling
and confident apparently of the success Of
his mission, and went away with blood In
his eye, p" as the reporter expressed it. There
is no doubt that when he shook the dust of
the city from his feet he was in very bad
humor
Mr.. TaImage seemed loaded with the idea
when he arrived here that the rice planters
were not well informed with respect to their
own interests, and that he could speedily
set them right. When he took his departure
he did not take all of this idea with him.
He had dropp.d that part of it which re
lated to his belief in his ability to set the
planters right. He was pretended friend.
He is now declared enemy. He proposes
to make his appearance in Washington IN
fighting trim, and TO fore, the fighting by
showing the Ways and Means Committee
that rice planters have too much protection,
and that they want the earth"
But what is Mr. Talmage's little scheme
to which he wants the rice planters to as
sent. Why, boiled down to its essence, it
is to get the Ways and Means Committee
to so classify a certain kind of rice as to
defeat the purpose of the committee and
intiict an injury on the rice planters that
the committee does not intend.
The duty fixed by the committee
on uncleaned rice is Gl6c per pound.
Neither the rice planters nor Mr.
Talmage objects to it, THERE'S in the pend
ing tariff bill, however, definition of IN
cleaned rice, and to this Mr.. Talmage OBJ
Jects, and WHY Because it prevents
rice which is virtually clean from being i'm
ported as unclean. The duty on clean rice
is 2l4c per pound, and if the provision of
the tariff bill defining unclaimed rice is
stricken out there will be very
little clean rice imported The importa-
tons will consist of unclean rice, because
That has TO pay duty of only 115c. per
pound, and, as shown by the statement of
rice mill manager of this city, can be
cleaned for l-l6c. per pound. Mr.. Tai
mage says that it costs &c. apound to clean
1t, but the mill manager is much better
witness than he can possibly be. If it costs
nc per pound to clean the imported rice
graded as unclean, what benefit is it to Mr..
Talmage to import it? He is not in the
rice milling business He is an importer
1t is clear that Mr.. Talmage's statement
about the cost of milling this imported I'M
clean rice does not inspire entire confidence
in its correctness. Instead of wanting "the
earth" it looks very much as if the planters
want only what is right. They might re-
tort that Mr.. Talmage wants great deal
more than it is the purpose of the law to
allow him, and lie wants it with the APP
parent sanction of the law.

Senator Sberman's Chances,

Is Senator Sherman nursing a waning
Presidential boom! Some of the newspapers
say he is. They state the case somewhat
after this fashion: Senator Sherman was
about the only one who was benefited by
Mr.. Blaine's Withdrawal, and for some time
ap. cared to be steadily gaining in strength.
This led the Republicans to inquire if he
would be the strongest candidate they could
nominate. lie could carry the Republican
States, but in New York and New Jersey
Mr.. Depew would be stronger. Along the
Pacific coast he would be weak, while in
Indiana all the following he has ever had
was based on dislike for Mr.. Blaine rather
than on love for him. Considering these
facts, they concluded that they could find
more promising candidate.
These newspapers probably oppose Sena-
tor Sherman, but they are right in suppos-
ing that his prospects are not bright. While
he will go into the convention with
stronger following than any other candi-
date, there are several eaSonS why he can
not get the nomination. He cannot get the
New York and Pennsylvania delegations.
The fact of numerous other aspirants
DeulS III bue n0lu, WIN Ine cndnCe
of having at least one State each
under their control, viii work to his injury.
The sentiment in favor of nominating Mr..
Blaine despite his Florence letter is daily
spreading, and as it grows Senator Sher-
mans chances diminish. The Southern
votes will not be solidly for him. He will
get whatever Southern delegates Malone
and Kellogg and perhaps few others can
secure for him, and these, added to the
delegations from Ohio and a number of
scattering States, will make up his strength
which will hardly increase as the balloting
proceeds.
Senator Sherman has been a Presidential
candidate a long time He is a shrewd
politician, but is not generally popular, and
even Ohio indorses him over a sort of pro-
test. A Pennsylvania, whose statements
may be relied upon, lately visited Sherman's
home county, in Ohio, and wrote to a Geor-
gia paper that he could discover no enthu-
siasm for him. The Senator cannot com
mand votes through personal magnetism,
for he is not magnetic man. He cannot
command them through confidence
Of the people in his course should he
be elected, because there is well defined
impression among the masses that he would
use the Presidency more in his own than in
| the peoples interest.

She Forgot Her Wrongs.
From Chambers' Joltrnal

From Chambers Journal
Yes, she forgot them Angry words
That cut the heart like sharpest swords;
Yes, she forgot them Unjust deeds,
The wrong that envy surely breeds
In meaner natures; but no stir
OF baSer passions marTed in her
The conquering power of purer thought,
Ever remembering Who had taught;
Father, they Know not what they do;
Forgive them'1and she visited it so.
Wrongs, she forgot them, one by one
Though never yet kindness done.
A generous act, a kindly speech,
Would seem her very soul to reach,
And there remain a lasting thought
To be with happy memories fraught;
Unlike cold natures, proud and vain,
In gratitude she felt no pain,
But rather joy, when on her face
Its lines of light knew how to trace.
wonder, did she long ago
Learn lessons of unfathomed woe,
That she forgets her wrongs alone,
But never once a kindness done.

Jay Gould has managed to give away
$500. About a year ago he came up the
Potomac on his yacht Atalanta and spent
some time around Mount Vernon There he
discovered that a portion of the Washington
estate was not owned by the Mount Vernon
Association, ard he quietly went to an at
torney and told him to purchase the portion
in question, leaving his (Gould's) name out
of the transaction. A few days ago the
property was turned over to Mr.. Gould and
by him decided to the association, upon the
condition that it was never to be divided
from the rest of the estate. The man from
whom the land was bought thinks he would
have raised the price tr1he if he had known
that Mr.. Gould was the purchaser
