WASHINGTON CITY.
SENATOR DANIEL DEALS HARD BLOWS
TO THE TARIFF BILL.

rrrom Our Regular Correspond emil


made another long and interesting tariff
speech IN the Senate to-day. He addressed
himself particularly to the question of tin
plate. and showed that the attempt of the
Finance Committee to increase the duty
on that article was a direct injury to the
consuming classes, and especially the
farmers. He went into the subject of the
consuming classes having the right 10 buy
where they could buy cheapest, and in the
course of his remarks he dealt the monopo-
lists many hard blows.
Senator Hiscock, who il as close q
friend of monopoly ne we'll could be found
in public life. endeavored to refute some
of the statements made by the Virginia
Senator, but the New Yorker evidently I'M
dertook too much. The more he said the
worse he made the bill winch he helped to
frame. II was plainly manifest that Sena-
tor Hiscock felt that the attack of Senator
Daniel would have great effect throughout
the country, and he therefore tried TO re-
flute the argument. but TO little effect.
This 10 the second tariff speech that
Senator Daniel has made within week,
and he has contributed much to the argyll
ments that have been submitted in oppo,,
sition TO the pending unjust and sectional
bill.
AN ADVANCEMENT BRISG MADE.
Just how long the tariff discussion will
continue no one seems to know definitely,
but there is rumor atloat that an arrange
ment is now being made between the
Democratic and Republican leaders "a to
the day when the bill shall pass. 1t is
quite evident that the average senator IS
growing very weary of the debate, and an
arrangement could be easily made to pass
the tariff and river and harbor bills by the
middle of September and then have Con-
gress adjourn.
Senator Quay again stated to-day that IT
was his opinion that the force bill would
not pass the Senate this session, and Sena-
tor Cameron, his colleague, has announced
that he would vote outright against the
measure should it be called up in the Sen
ate.
THEY HAVE CAPITAL IL THE SOUTH.
From all that can be learned here there
il a strong sentiment in the State OF Penn
sylvania against the force bill. Pennsyl,-
yania people have great deal OF capital
invested in theSouth, and al of the lead
ing cities of the keystone State have large
trade in that section. Several of the lead
ing Republican papers of Philadelphia, in
Guiding the LodgG, are opposing the Dill
and IL Is now stated on good authority
that if Congressman Harmer and heyburn
not vote for the bill.
NO QUORUM IN THE HOUSE.
The House was not able TO muster quo
rum to-day. owing TO the absence of so
many of the members. Some of the Re-
publcans wanted to have all leaves OF alb
aence revoked, but they could not carry
their point. There was taclt understand
ing that all who wanted to go to the Grand
Army of the Republic .encampment. at
Boston could do so, and the more sensible
Repu blicans therefore sat down on the
cranks. Some bills of minor importance
that have already passed the Senate were
taken up and passed.
THE 0AG-LAw ORDER"
The order" which Senator Edmunds
Is pleased to call his resolution looking to
limit upon debate will probably be taken
up in the Senate tomorrow, and may not
be called up at all. No man IN the Senate
i such IA stickler for freedom of debate as
the Vermonter. He claims that he wants
something that will only suspend the
rules in this particular bill and does not
want TO change the rules. He Is making
sort Of bluff, and probably Will not press
the order IL he does 1t Will not make
much difference. 1t would precipitate
long debate, and the game would not DE
worth the candle.
Representative OFerrall, who was unanl-
mously nominated for reelection at WIN
chester last week, has returned TO the
city.
HIS TRADEMARK.

gresham Morse, of Massachusetts,, gene

mind runs almost entirely TO money

an acceptance, and showing 1t to friend.
said How do you like that ~" It's TO the
point" said the friend; but whats TINS
