The Senate met at IL o'clock, and after the
morning hour resumed the consideration of
the tariff bill, the question being an amend
ment allowing bounty of / centa pound upon
sugar produced from beets sorghum or sugar
cane grown in the United States A protract-
ed discussion as to the constitutional power of
Congress to give such bounties cnsued between
Messrs. Spooner (Wis.) and Hoar Mass. in the
affirmative and Messrs. Reagan (Tex.) Gray
(Del), Butler Is c. and George Miss in op-
position. Mr.. Butler wanted the tariff so adj
justed as to raise the necessary revenue for the
expenses of the Government, and also protect
the laboring classes and the industries of the
country. He referred to remarks made by
Senators regarding the degraded labor of Eu-
rope, and said he had never seen anywhere
people who worked for living who appeared
better contented than those he had seen in Eu-
rope. He had seen no women working by the
side of dogs in carts, but the first incident of
degraded labor which had greeted his eyes
when he landed in New York, was four or five
poor Irish women on their knees scrubbing a
restaurant floor for the bread of life.

AN interesting case will shortly be
tried In the Philadelphia courts, the
result of which will no doubt disabuse
the minds of great many people OF q
long cherished fallacy. This case lie
in reference to diamond ring, which
was lost by man In that city not long
ago. He advertised In the papers,
offering a reward of $50 for Its recov.
cry, but when the finder called with
the ring, said that he would not give
more than one half that amount for Its
return. The man refused to give 1t
up, and the owner had him arrested
on charge Of larceny, and he was
held In $500 bail for court while the
ring is now in the hands OF the officers,
where il will remain until the matter
is decided. II has been ruled In our
courts that where a person finds an
article on the street or public highway,
and afterwards ascertains who the
owner is and falls 10 return It. he or
she can be held for larceny. The mat
ter of reward is entirely voluntary on
the part OF the loser, and the finder
certainly has no right 10 retain an srti-
Gle for the purpose of securing the re-
ward.
