LOOKING TO THE SENATE.


The indications are that the Mckinley
tariff bill will pass the house with few
changes from the form in which it was
reported. The rejection of all amend
ments proposed thus far, some of which
were offered by republicans, shows that
the supporters of the bill in the house
are strong enough to carry it through
just as it came from the committee. 1t is
probable, however, they will not ar
bitrarily refuse to allow any modi-
tications of the measure, but
will make some concessions to
those republicans who are opposed to
certain features of the bill, where this
can be done without materially affecting
its general character. The attitude of
Mr.. Butterworth and the few other re-
publicans who do not regard the measure
rs whole with favor will hardly fail to
have some effect upon the majority. 1t
seems, indeed, to have already exerted
an influence, since there is talk of eau
Gus of republicans to consider what may
be done in recognition of the growing
feeling in favor of Il modification
of the Mckinley bill. 1t must
be obvious to tho more conservative
among the republicans of the house that
after what has been said by Mr.. Butter
worth in criticism of the general charac-
ter of the tariff measure the party's
chances of retaining control of the house
will be lessened unless the bill is re-
lieved of some of its more Objectionable
features. The Ohio representative not
only objected to certain conspicuous
features of the bill, us the reduction
of the duty on sugar and the
proposal to supplant the duty by
n bounty, the increased duty
on tin plate, and the additional protec-
tion to copper, but he in effect arraigned
the whole measure rs having been
framed in disregard of existing condi-
tions and as not representing n wise and
sound and just system of protection
under prevailing circumstances. This
position of IA republican who has always
been consistent supporter of the pro-
tective policy and claims to still be can
not fail to have u very considerable in
tiuence with the people, and we may he
sure it will be made to do all the
service possible in the coming con-
gressional campaign if its warning and
suggestions are unheeded.
But while it may be assumed that they
will not be wholly disregarded, it is not
probable the republicans of the house
will make any such notifications of the
Mckinley bill as would be necessary to
bring it into accord with the protection
principle defined by Mr., Butter
worth. That ground has undoubtedly
been most thoroughly gone over
by the majority of the ways and
means committee, and having de-
liberately abandoned it there will be no
return to it. To do so would necessi.ate
formulating an almost entirely new
measure. The country must, therefore,

SEVERAL new electric lights were or
dered located by the council. How many
more electric light poles does the coun-
Gil propose to plant this season at one
hundred and seventy-five dollars year?
If we are to have much more electric
lighting, the council will have to in
crease the levy or run an overlap, 1t
was all very plausible to sup
plant the gas lamps with electric
lights in the business centre, but electric
lighting is a luxury which even such
cities rs New York and Philadelphia in
dulge in only very sparingly. 1t is easy
to increase the number of electric lights,
but nobody ever proposes to decrease
the number.

BIG FINANCIAL ENTERPRISE.
Plans for the Universal Trust Company
About COmpleted,

New York, May 15.-[Special Telegram to
THE BEE. The Universal association bank
and trust company will begin its operations
in this city before the summer ends Nearly
every preliminary detail has been completed
for the establishment of great financial en-
terprise on wholly new system and little re
mains to be done excepting to carry out the
plans. Officers have been elected, capital
subscribed and applications for endorsement
of not less than S40O, 900, 600 in bonds have al
ready come up for consideration. 1t is or
ganized by Colonel G. W. G. Leybourn, who
came into great notoriety some time ago as
father of a scheme to establish papal bank
in this country with branches in Europe.
The new institution has many features like
the one originally proposed. 1t Is organized
under very flexible Kentucky char
ter and is to open comparatively new
field OF financial operations which can be
developed to enormous proportions. 1t in
tends to guarantee interest on railway bonds.
The idea is that when road is in course of
construction it usually has to sell it's bonds at
about 70 per cent of their full value in order
to obtain money for construction and then
has to pay high interest on the full amount.
The Universal company will guarantee this
interest and take from 10 to IL per cent of the
aggregate amount of guarantees for its com
penSatiOn. The bank can then dispose of the
guaranteed bonds at large advance. The
directors of the bank incll de Baron Charles
de Bernard of Paris, who has been appointed
administrator of the French branch G. Curt
of Rome, who will have charge of the Italian
branch; Don Paolo Borghese, prince de
Gulmoni, Menotti Carlo, Villa Tomasso late
minister ofjustice in Italy; Tansesio Battiste,
formerly postmaster general of Italy;
Counsellor Waldorf H. Phillips of this city
The directors have subscribed Sl7O, 900, and
have signed n contract to deliver to an Amer
lean syndicate Sl00OO,0O0 of stock, upon
which s., 500, 600 will be paid in cash.

Keep Out Railroad Henchmen.

On the Goth of this month the anti-monop-
oily republicans of the state will meet in Lin
coin to discuss matters touching the most
vital interests of the party. II will be an i'm
portant conference, and it is hoped that all
republicans in favor of purging the party of
the influence of corporations and in hearty
sympathy with the best interests Of the
masses who are the brain and sinew of our
state will attend. Let railroad henchmen
find no place or voice in its deliberations.

perity of the great masses of our country

THE army canteen has recently re-
ceived great deal of attention in con-
gress, and its fate may be said to hang
in the balance. In order to give the
canteen legal status, the house placed it
an the army appropriation bill and au-
thorized the sale of malt and vinous liu-
uors, In the senate this provision, after
a protracted debate, was stricken out
and clause inserted forbidding the sale
of liquors at any army post or in any
building within the boundaries of any
military post. The discussion of this
in the senate developed large
mass of opinions from officers of the
army regarding the merits and demer-
its OF the canteen, the weight of which
was favorable to the system. The re-
ports generally from the posts at which
it has been established show that the
canteen has been not only great con-
yenlence to the enlisted men, but that it
has been instrumental in improving the
morals of the service. Some of the Off
GERS whose testimony was presented were
most pronounced in their commendation
OF the system. But the argument that
the government should not thus counte-
nance the traffic in liquor was potential
with majority of the senators, and they
rejected the provision to allow the sale
OF malt and vinous liquors. The bill is
now in the hands of n conference com
mittee, with tho chances favorable to the
action of the senate being approved. In
that event the gin mills outside the posts
will again flourish and absorb the pay Of
he regulars US OF yore.

typographical excellence. quality of ink. paper,

Upon bringing the above inquiry tn the notice
of number of persons familiar with the news

majority OF cases was found to be the Chicago
Ere7aing Post. This il the paper recently
started under the same management az the

mentioned above it certainly ranks very
high. Another strong favorite was the WASH

be safely termed "a model. The New York Maj
and Express stands near tho head of the list,
while the handsome typographical appearance
Of the Troy Press deserves special mention,
coming as it does from one of the lesser cities.
Another pretty paper. geographically, is the
Hartford Times. The Brooklyn Edge is well
printed. but its blanket-shCet form is very
much against it. Like the Washington STAR
and New York Herald. its advertising columns
are not defaced by display. The New York
