Senator yanse's Powerful Ex-
position of the Iniquities Of
Tariff Bill.

A correspondent Of Washington
writing to the Louisville Courier
Journal last week says: Senator
Vance probably never made in the
Senate q common place speech since
he has been a member of that body,
and generally he makes an argu.
ment that any one would be pleased
to hear; but to-day, in opening the
tariff discussion, he made one of the
most powerful and highly interest
ing speeches that he has ever de-
liyered on any subject. IL was a
shame that the Republicans were so
scarce on the floor, Cor they might
have, out Of common courtesy,
shown a Democratic member of the
Finance Committee some considera-
ton. IL is q part Of their pro-
gramme, however, not TO listen 10
the arguments Of the minority
against the outrageous Mckinley
bill, and Mr. Mcpherson taunted
them with being so ashamed of the
measure that they could not defend
IL. Senator Vance made an attack
upon the bill that will greatly en-
tighten the voters of the country.
It was full Of meaty facts, logic and
some humor, as is always the case
when the brainy North Caroliniau
tackles any leading question.

ADJOURN THE RUMP CON-
GRESS.
Philadelphia Times.

The present Congress enters upon
the ninth month Of the session TO.
day, (August 1st) and the indispen-
sable government appropriations
have not yet been passed.
The present Congress met with
one party in absolute control of
House, Senate and President. II
had its work clearly defined by its
solemn pledges to the people to re-
duce the surplus by the reduction of
taxes, and by the honest, economical
administration of the government.
Under the specious promise of
fastening legislation and enabling
the majority to pass such measures
as it chose to pass, the rules were
violently changed to give the Speak.
er and the Committee on Rules the
absolute control of the consideration
Of bills.
The Speaker was created a despot
to assure the prompt fulfilment Of
party obligations, and to win the
confidence of the country by the
enactment of all needed measures in
time for an early adjournment.
The Speaker accepted the despotic
powers in the broadest sense, and he
presents the unexampled record of a
Congress entering upon ITS ninth
month without even havingdisposed
of the absolutely necessary appro-
priatlon bills.
Under the speclous plea of allow
ing the,majority to rule, the Speaker
has arbitrarily and defiance of q CEN
tury Of accepted Legislative law, as
sumed the right to declare the act
of the minority to be the act of the
majority; and sovereign States have
been admitted into the Unisn and
many measures of the gravest i'm
port have been declared passed by
minority of the body.
With all this assumption Of des-
potic power to hasten legislation,
the only important result achieved
is a looted Treasury, an assured def
cheney instead of a surplus, and the
promise Of increased taxes on labor
instead of reduced taxes on the ne
cessaries. Of business and Of life.
The surplus that was to have been
reduced by the reduction Of taxes,
has been wasted by unprecedented
prohigacy; the House on one occa-
sion voting more than a million a |
minute for a pension bill that only |
pension sharks and army dead-beats |
favored.
And not only the surplus wasted,
but forced loan of some 500, ,000,- |
900 has been made from a sacred |
trust fund to save the Treasury |
from actual bankruptcy, and many |
greatly needed appropriations such |
as the new Mint and Navy Yard Of |
this city-must now be postponed
indefinitely, while increased taxes
on industry are threatened in the
new tariff bill.
There is often not a quorum in
either House or Senate including
both parties; the Congress that
promised so much in lessing the bur-
lens Of the people has disguised the
followers of the majority party, and
he rump that remains is worse than
lisgusted with both high tax tariff
bill and the Force Election bill.
Adjourn the rump Congress!

THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
Lynchblrg (va,l Advances


We think the Hon. John P. Buch-
anan. recently nominated by the
Democratic party of Tennessee for
Governor, is made of altogether diff.
ferent material from Col. Tilman,
OF South Carolina, who Is contesting
fer the gubernatorial nomination in
that State, as the leader Of Farmers
Alliance. Mr.. Buchanan is the Pre-
sident OF the Alliance in Tennessee,
but he is also Democrat, and don't
intend to sacrifice the one party for
the other like Tilman appears to be
doing, in Carolina. We think the
friends Of the latter would learn
something by contrasting the bold
utterances of their leader with the
following patriotic declarations of
Farmer Buchanan given in recent
interview with newspaper repor-
ter.
II am making this campaign"
said Mr.. Buchanan, las a Democrat
OIL the Democratic platform. I
have never urged anybody to sup

man or farmer; in fact, have new
er told that was a farmer in any
speech | have made. II is a grave
mistake to suppose, as some do, that
| am seeking to array one class
against another, or that | want to
benefit the agricultural at the ex-
pense Of other interests. | believe
that the farmers cannot be benefited
by any course which would be op-
pressive or unjust to other interests.
None more than the agricultural
interests is benefited by the leglti-
mate growth of the mercantile,
manufacturing and railroad inter-
ests. It's to our interest that the
merchants with whom we deal
should be prosperous, that manu-
factures should be developed, and
that transportation facilities should
be increased and cheapened. We
want nothing that would injure any
OF them, but we want TO help all
and hurt none. want to be a
Governor for the whole people of
the State;and you know me well
enough to know that will be as l
have always been a square, clean,
Democrat"
Mr.. Buchanan said that the in
terest Of farmers lay with the DEM
oeratic party and that whenever
they organized to secure fair and
equal legislation it would not do
otherwise than help Democracy.

TheophIIus james Hunker had

Etbaliuda De Wigs for long time.
Tuesday night had found him at
the De Wigs .domicile Us regularly
as Tuesday night arrived, and every
one knows that Tuesday night comes
ON strict schedule time.
He arrived at 8 and left at 10 80,
and he had been doing this for years
without Unee asking the. fair Etha-

could be hers.
these dilatory tactics were regard
ed with dIsfavor by Ethalinda, while
the girls parents hoped that each

didn't.
No saec .eding Tuesday night ever

Etha iuda resolved that she would,

had determined to size the first op-

and il no opportunity offered she
had resolved 70 manufacture one TO

Fortune favored her. however, and
it was unnecessary for her to 20 into

Mr.. Hunker had been much inter

court. aud on previous Tuesday even-
ings he had dropped opinions which
s0uld have been invaluable 10 the
Judges couli they have had the ben.

Last night, after discussing the

THE FARMERS IN POLITICS.

Il - AAAA n Nv n SAAs h8SSe
Washington Post, Rep: To at
tempt TO put the farmers as a body
in one Independent political party
would be as futile an experiment as
has been the attempt to organize an
independent party Of laborers. The
farmers themselves will have none Of
it.
Alta Californian. Dem.: The
Farmers Alliance Of Minnesota
talks well and acts weakly. If it
desires TO accomplish the great re-
form Of war taxation which il de-
clares necessary. il should cooper
ate with the Democratic party,
through which alone that reform
can come.
New York Times. Rep: There is
no doubt that the day that the far
mers as a class break loose from the
Republican party on the tariff issue
the fate Of the protective tariff and
of the Republican party will be
sealed. 1t is by the votes Of the far
mers that the former has been main
tanned in force and the latter in
power for nearly a score of years.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat, Rep.:
Senator Plumb's inquiry as to the ef-
feet Of the pending tariff bill on the
revenue is a legitimate and practical
one. No explicit and detailed in
formation has been furnished upon
that point. and yet il is the point Of
first Importance. The country does
not want legislation that is likely
to make a deficit. and certainly the
Republican party cannot afford TO
take the responsibility Of bringing
about such a result.
Memphis Democrat, DEM: The
active interest the farmers Of the
Northwest are taking IN politics bodies
destruction 10 the big Republican
majorities in those States. The Re
publican party has no one 10 blame
but itself, while the country is to be
congratuIatedthat the agricultural
classes are awakening to the fact
tnat it is through the tariff system,
as fastened upon the country by the
Republican party, that they are be-
ing taxed out of their homes. earn

Mr.. Parker writes from Lewiston: A
committee, consisting of j. r. Vollmer,
j. NJ. Howe, NJ. A. Jelly, r. Grostein,
and j. Alexander have been appointed
to go to Spokane Falls and interview
Mr.. Huston, chief engineer of the
Northern Pacific, and try to arrange
terms whereby the Northern can be in
duced to extend its Spokane and Palouse
branch to Lewiston. 1t is possible that
l may accompany the committee in
order that Camas prairie may be repres-
ented. The committee at present are
waiting advices by telephone when to
stsrt, as Mr.. Huston telegraphed from
Tacoma that he would notify them when
to start and meet them at Spokane Falls.
Everybody in Lewiston is hopeful that
this latest railroad agitation will ma.
terialise into something definite. The
Tammany Hollow and Waha prairie
regions are fully aroused to the occasion
and will. If needful, put their hands in
their pockets and subscribe a liberal
bonus. Perhaps if the landowners on
Camas prairie will do as well. it map re-
suit in extending the Northern Pacific

no railroad will be built to the prairie
unless handsome subsidy is paid, as
they tell me in the railroad offices at
Portland that until the reservation is
opened up to settlement there is
nothing TO justify them in building SO

More Than Half Hundred Women
Thrown in n Creek.

More Than Half Hundred Women
Thrown in Creek.
PHILADELPHIA, April 10.-A special
from Shamokin to the Record says: Be
tween fifty and sixty Hungarian women
were thrown into the Shamokin Creek
last evening by the angry miners at
Hickory Ridge and kept there until
thoroughly submerged and exhausted.
Many savage struggles occurred be-
tween the men and women, and while
none were fatally injured dozens will
feel the effects of the struggle for
weeks.
The Hungarians have peculiar Gus
tom, amounting to religious duty, of
throwing water on people for two days
after Easter. They think it bad luck for
the thrower to fail in an attempt to
cover the victim with water. IF sue
cessful it is thought that both will be
lucky. The custom obtains among the
most ignorant of Hungarians, with
which the hamlet of Hickory Ridge
abounds. Upon all wife passed along
the highway these Hungarians would
hurl the water and thus, after Easter,
the American miners would invariably
be greeted by buckets of water thrown
into their faces as they emerged from
the mines
Naturally fights occurred in conse.
quence, but heretofore the miners were
too chivalrous to battle with women.
Yesterday the miners heard of an at
tempt by the women to duck Holden
Chester, ir., and William Reinhart, two
of the bosses. 1t was then decided to
quit work in the evening, and. if any
one were attacked, they would duck
every Hungarian woman in the hamlet.
The whistle sounded "All home" at
6 o'clock. When the first four men
gained earth's surface they were almost
drowned with water from the buckets
OF score of women. The angry
American miners were at once re-en-
forced, and while dozen rushed on the
women and dragged them to the creek,
a body of men went into every house
in the hamlet in the search of Hun
garian women.
The fight that ensued was very eXcit-
ing and the scene strange one. In
short time the creek was alive with
struggling women, while the banks
We're lined with hundreds Of miners
and English speaking residents. AS
each woman climbed the bank a man
rushed upon her, picked her up in his
arms and threw her back in the swift
running stream.
Great care was taken that none of the
women were drowned, although NUN.
Der tainted. The Hungarian men were
not strong enough to show fight, and
remained maddened spectators from a
distance. When the invasion of the
hamlet occurred three of the women
armed themselves with weapons and
rushed from house to house, shrieking
for their sisters to band and drive the
men back.
