The Great Tariff Debate of 1890

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE tariff battle
| opened to-day, and the forces of each
party were in the fracas. The galleries
were filed with spectators. The genera
debate will close on Saturday, when the
five minute rule will be applied,
and then will follow the de-
bate in sections and amendments.
1t is said that the bill will not be cut
much, but this assumption Is very san
guine one and it is not likely the commit
tee can hold the house together on the
bill as reported. Mr.. Mckinley made a
strong appeal from the protectionist'
standpoint and was congratulated;
by his colleagues for his mastery
effort. Mr.. Mills followed tor the DEM
ocrats and like Mckinley was given two.
hours. He cited leading English authors
tiles and American free trade thinkers to
sustain his position. He talked in q
clear and ringing voice, warming up to
his subject and handling it i'll
free and easy manner. He never ap-
pesre6 to better advantage, and his COL
leagues crowded around him to catch
every word, applauding his well sus-
Ldluou points. II WIS UIS udY IOT
Mills, and he received warm congratu-
lations Tor the splendid argument he
made to sustain the position of his party
ON THE GREAT QUESTION.
Some of the Republicans who are
anxious to secure amendments to the
Mckinley bill are threatening to fight
against the proposition of the committee
approved by the Republican caucus to
limit the discussion under the 1ve-minute
rule to eight DAYS and the general de-
bate to four days. The Democrats are
protesting against this short limit OF
time proposed, but if the interest does
not grow with the debate the house may
be tired enough of the matter before the
discussion is over. Mr.. Reed will
not speak and many others
will doubtless follow his ex-
ample upon the theory that the
tariff has been pretty well discussed al
ready IN its various phases.

faces sank from the windows and the shIieks OF
the maniacs were lost in the general uproar.
One byone the walls toppled inward and fierce
blaze burst up from the newiy-ad fuel that
rose to the sky and threw its glare to the St.
lawrence southern shore. and even tinged the
crest Of Mount Royal, ten miles distant. Then
it dipped down into the blackness and nothing
but flew brokentowers remained rounding of the
mass of debris, under which are now not the bodies
this time 1t was o. clock and growing dark and
very cold. Spring rain had converted the place
into quagmire and only horsemen could get
siSsa mos. Of them young ne p and
delicate, stood ankle deep in the mud
experimenting the removal OF such furniture as
had been saved. The patients wandered about
aimlessly, clad in scant garments. When re-
leased good many OF them leaped for ioy and
bounded Ike deer across the fields to the woods.
Patients of both sexes escaped, and though
a Gordon of police was thrown round not all
were included and q horribly suggestive tale
was borne in by the inhabitants, who were COM

astcr. A new dread has come upon the inbab-
itants from the presence of so many escaped
lunatics, and they will count the mselves for

crimes only mailman can devise.
The death roll is now estimated at fifty,
although many moro missing, but are ex-
Pected to turn up. 1t is feared that seven nuns
have been burned to death, three more

they would have to fight If they got money.
they did not insist. but mounted

CONDEMNED.
rte Main Street Bridge Across the
Trinity Declared Unsafe.
The Masonry split, the Trestle Twisted and
Come Of the Iron Work Broken
All Travel Suspended.

The long iron bridge across the Trinity
river on North Main street is in a pre-
csrious condition, and last night both
approaches to IT were roped off, while all
.dsy big danger sign stood at each end.
1t was first noticed yesterday morning
that the huge embanEment at the south
err approach to the bridge was full of
cracks and crev ices, as if the edge of, the
abutmeut was moving bodily out iowa rds
the river, and the flooring of
the bridge along the upper half was
sagged and twisted all out of shape.
Investigation corroborated the suspicion
that the crossing was in a very unsafe
condition, and signals were put out that
travelling over the bridge was dangerous.
itappears that part of the trestle work
next to the masonry abutmeut, which Is
split from top to bottom, has been moved
from lis position; some of the iron posts
do not bear their share OF the weight,
while others are bent with the extra
pressure; some of the straining rods
are relaxed and Others are
snapped. The whole structure
Is IN such & precarious condition
ihaih cartilage driven across it or even a
maj walking heavily causes wide vibra-
tins.
The apparent cunse, for this state of
affairs is that the foundation of the
atutment and southern tn 5tle work
has settled, probably under the effect
Of lhe recent heavy storms.
The bridge Is unsafe for travel, and the
street committee have condemned 1t. No
teams we're allowed TO cross last night
after o'clock, when the approaches
we're roped off. The street cars still con-
ulue to run up to each approach, and
passengers are transferred. across the
bridge. ~
1t islmpossiblc to state at present how
deep tie difficulty. lies, but there are
Tears Nat i will require considerable
outlay to put the crossing in shape
again for travel. For the present at
!'ast il il useless to the public and 1t
cannot be told howAiSn9eh further the
damage Will go, as tAe abutment ap-
peaEsi9 be headiH f6f the river.

In something of unnatural kind,
And a performance very droll
Is what we may consider whole -
'Tis what I've never seen, so -
Can of it little testify. %
Strange things about 1t l have hearo
That for belief are too absurd.
In midst of mystery and gloom,
All seated in darkened rooms
Believers in its workings wait,
Silent wondering and sedate.
And ghostly forms as they declare
Are visitors that greet them there.

Or rather have none at al
For wholes of which I've heard, claim
That humbug is the proper name
Credulity makes some believe

One on which no person ever made trip;

Has meier been harmed by ire in any way.

A vessel that on water never sailed,
As at a second 1, reflective, look,
It's suggestive somehow OF Black Crook;

Yet seems connected some way with crane;
Between crane and first it is, I think,
What Darwin might suppose connecting link.

To time long past-I mean my schoolboy days
For it brings up before my mental view

When, with ink-stained fingers, and with face

This proposition was accepted by the conven-
ton, and it was resolved that each town on the
Denver road or in the counties tributary thereto
should be asked to select and send a properly
accredited delegate to represent their town at a
meeting to be held at the beard of trade rooms
in Fort Worth at O'Clock on the evening of
May 10, 1880, at which time it is proposed to
complete an organization for the purpose of car
rying out the above agreement.
Your town is entitled to one delegate at this
meeting, and it is especially urged that you call
q meeting of your local board or Of representa-
tive citizens at once and select some person to
represent the interest of your town at Fort
Worth on the above date.
Your delegate should be empowered to cast the
vote of your town for the election of a board of
directors Of the association and participate in
whatever business may be transacted.
The Importance to your town of joining in this
general movement for the interest of the Pam
handle country cannot be over-estimated, and
trust you will be able to send q representative
without fail. Respectfully,
N. C. BLANCHARD, Secretary.
It is expected that all the towns on the
Fort Worth and Denver will respond to
this invitation and be on hand at the
meeting referred to. Even those towns
that are supposed to disagree in regard
TO the work of the Bowie convention can
not afford to be counted out of this great
movement, no matter if they decide to
place an exhibit at DaIlassas well as at
Fort Worth.
