Not very long since an article in an

said to be the most satisfactory belong

case of these new dishes, but doubtless
all will come in time. It is related of q
bright Boston woman that once whilst
she was living in the country abroad, in
a spot where the markets were extreme
ly unreliable, she was surprised one day
by the arrival of several guests near the
hour of dinner. 1t CHANGED, as it usually
does in similar cases, that her larder
that day was especially bare; 80 she set
to work her wits as her only assistants
to overcome the difficulty. The locust

the finest clusters, dipped them in batter

the growing locust in bloom to the os

WASHING TON LETTER.
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. June u. lsi


WASHINGTON, ID. c.. June u. 1890.
This has been an important week
in the House, and one long to be
remembered. After an unusually
exciting time over the Senate free
coinage amendment to the silver
bill the House by vote of 1876 to
l5l refused its concurrence to that
amendment, and asked for confer
ence on the bill. Had the democrats
voted solidly in favor of free coin
age, as they did last week, the
amendment would have been ac-
cepted; but, in addition to a number
who absented themselves when the
vote was taken, there was respect
able number that voted against the
amendments, more than enough to
offset the republicans who voted for
chem.
As soon as the silver bill was out
Q. the way the House took up the
Federal election bill, and the excit-
ing fight over that measure is now
in full blast. The present program
is to debate the bill until next
Wednesday, when a vote will be
taken. The bill will pass the House,
unless something now unforeseen
shall occur to change the sentiments
of large number of republicans;
but those best posted on Legislative
pro liabilities say that it will not
pass the Senate at this session, even
if it is taken up by that body, which
is extremely doubtful.
The President threw little
bonn b-shell into the House this week
by telling several republican mem
bers that if the House accepted the
Senate amendments adding more
than 100000 to the River and
Harbor bill, which carried nearly
$2l 100000 as passed by the
House, he would feel compelled to
veto the bill. Quite a number of
people believe that he intends to
veto the bill anyway.
Mr. Blaine's idea of an amend
ment to the Mckinley tariff bill
providing for reciprocity with the
South and Central American coun-
tries continues to be an absorbing
topic of conversation, in spite of
the important happenings of the
week. Ii is strongly favored by the
President, and is gaining ground
very rapidly in Congress and unless
all surface indications are at fault,
the Senate will certainly adopt it,
and it will have an excellent chance
of passing the House also. The
more it is discussed the more friends

More Enemies of the Tariff Bill


The opposition to the Mckinley
tariff bill is spreading. The Dem
ocratic press of the United States
opposes it with but few exceptions.
Two or three cranky free-trade Re
publican newspapers oppose it,.
Some of the manufacturers oppose
that feature of the bill which pro-
tects what they call straw materials"
by adequate duties, but they do not
oppose those features which provide
adequate protection for themselves.
There are some other minor forms
of opposition in some corners in
this country.
This opposition some days ago
acquired a valuable ally in Mr..
Vincent, who represents a Sheffield
district in the British Parliament.
He is Tory, and he asked the rep
resentatives of the Tory Ministry
on the floor of the House what they
were going to do TO defeat the pas.
sage of the Mckinley bill in the
American Congress. He declared
that if the United States should in
crease the duty on Sheffield cutlery,
the British Government ought to
prohibit the importation of Ameri-
can food products into that country.
He denounced the Mckinley bill in
terms as severe as those employed
by the Chicago Tribune on the
same subject.
And now comes some more for
eign hostility to the American tariff
bill. A Berlin cablegram, of June
25, announces that a deputation of
and manufacturers of
Rhenish Prussia had waited upon
Baron Won Ber,epsch, the Minister
of Commerce, and presented a pro-
test against the Mckinley tariff
bill, declaring that it would ylrtu.
ally exclude from the United States
certain German goods. ''fhey re-

THE Monroe Journal, an indie
pendent paper speaks prasingly as
follows. We have read carefully a
copy of the speech of Congressman
Robt. M. La Toilette, upon the tariff
delivered in the House May 10th,
and we conscientiously say it is one
of the ablest it has ever been our
privilege to read, and throws light
on a subject that would seem to all
to be thoroughly exhausted from
the attention so long given it. 1t is
entertaining, logical and conclusive ;
every intelligent reader in this dis
trlct should read the speech as it
abounds in facts, places the question
in new ways, that are convincing.
One of the best speeches az an ex-
ponent of the protective policy OF
the tariff ever delivered in the hall
of congress, a credit to the brilliant
legislator of this district who is
fast carving his way to the highest
honors in the land.
