country. But the tariff we always have
with us. Just now Mr.. Mckinley is the
central figure of the tariff world The
rise of this man to power and influence
is splendid example Of what may be
done with speciality in public life. Mr..
Mckinley has never bothered himself
very much about anything but the tariff.
During all the years he has been in con-
gress the tariff has been his constant
companion.
While he was still a law student at
Canton, o., the question Of protection of
American industries came up for dis
cussion in the town Lyceum. An old
lawyer represented free trade, and to
young Mckinley was assigned the de-
tense of protection. The old lawyer,
keen and experienced in debate, over
whelmingly defeated his young antag-
onist. This stung the young mans pride
and brought out the good qualities that
were in him. He determined to be a
master of that question. He studied
political economy with even more zeal
than he studied law; he read speeches
and sat up o nights with statistics and
government reports. McKinley's first
start in public life was as county attor-
ney. He was good officer, but all the
time continued to make Roadway as a
champion of protection. When speeches
were wanted he was called upon to make
them, and presently his devotion to that
idea won him an election to congress.
A few days ago saw Mckinley riding
from the Capitol to his hotel. He was
on the rear platform of street car
Fifteen minutes before this he had won
the great triumph of securing passage
by the house of representatives of tariff
bill bearing his name. This was the
climax of his ambition. And yet here
he was returning from the scene of his
victory in the most common of public
conveyances. There was something
plain, American, democratic about that
method of travel on that occasion which
l confess to having an admiration for.
Perhaps Mckinley chose the common
public conveyance because of it's cheap
ness. He is comparatively poor man.
Probably he was as rich in this worlds
goods when he first came to congress as
he is now after thirteen years of service.
Before entering congress he made a
little money in his profession and investd
it in building in his town; but for the
revenue that has brought him he would
at times have been sorely pinched for
ready money. Mckinley leads very
simple life in Washington. It is princi-
pally life of work. He occupies two
small rooms in down town hotel. One
is his wife's room, the other his work
shop. Mrs. Mckinley is an invalid, and
her husband tenderly spends with her
every moment that can be taken from
his work The two rooms adjoin, and
even when busiest he is constantly going
from one to the other. All winter and
spring the ways and means committee
has had almost nightly meetings. These
were held at McKinley's room, that the
chairman might be near his charge. So we
see that even in tariff bill, and in the
life of man who gives all his energies
to taxing legislation, there may be some
thing of sentiment.

all, though not the most powerful, is
Senator Morrill, This fine old man
makes a picture worth looking at as he
sits at the head of the table in the com
mittee on finance. The oldest man in
congress, and the veteran in service, he
represents in his career three or four dis
tinct eras of his country's history. He
was a well known man in the days when
Kansas and slavery extension were the
overwhelming topics Of public interest
He was chairman of the house commit
tee on ways and means IN the early
years of the war, when the expenses of
the government were increasing at the
rate Of millions of dollars day, and the
great problem was the procuring of reve-
me with which to carry on the war.
Nearly thirty years ago he wrote tax
ing bill which carried his name to every
hamlet in the land, and here he is yet.
an octogenarian, at the head of the SEN
ate committee which is at work upon
another revenue act. Though chairman
of the committee Senator Morrill, is not
much more than figure head. His days
of law making are nearly run. Yet 1t
was the tariff that gave him prominence
and laid the foundation for his fame
The real head of the senate committee
is Senator Allison. Here we have still
another example Of the value Of special
izing ones efforts in a public career.
Allison, ike Mckinley, has made the
tariff his distinct field On these lines
he has approached the presidency, and
may yet win it. Like Mckinley, too. he
is comfortable sort Of person, smooth,

European WOrkiDgmGn to Parade

CHICAGO, April livery few Journey

work this morning. and. seeing how
matters stood, refused to go to work.
Police protection is offered to journeymen
carpenters, but it is refused by them, as
they are afraid of the plumbers and gas
htters working in the buildings where work
was to be resumed this morning. There is
no trouble so far, but it is feared that if the
master carpenters put on non-union men
as they say they will, there will be blood,

for police protection.
Assignor Goodman of c. ]. Meyer & Sons

A POWERFUL TELESCOPE.
Southern California to Have The Largest
ObjeGtGlaSS in The World.

BosToN, April 14-An object-glass for
the forty-inch telescope to be mounted at
the University in Southern California was
taken to Cambridge to-day. 1t will
be the largest refractng telescope ever
constructed. From its lofty position
in San Diego it will pierce further into the
recesses Of sIace than any instrument
heretofore designed by hand. The glass
was taken to the establishment of
Clark Bros, who will spend nearly
two years upon it before it will be ready
for use. 1t came from the establishment OF
MantoiS in Paris. It is the biggest piece of
work of the kind they have ever done or
which has ever been done anywhere.
1t has superlatiyely pure and beautiful
circular plate crown. The glass is forty
inches in diameter, or mere than ten
feet in circumference, two and a
half inches thick. and so clear that
when balanced upon its edge it is invisible
1t interposes no obstacle to the rays of
light which fall upon it, and they
pass through it absolutely unchanged.
When completed it will have an exact di-
ameter Of forty inches, with a maximum
thickness OF about two inches; the curves
Of its double concave surfaces are
not calculated. The Complementary glass
and the plates for the convex
lens, which will be placed about
eight inches behind the object glass have
not been cast The tube of tile telescope
will have a length of about sixty feet, thus
exceeding the Lick telescope in length, as
an object glass, and also in diameter.

THE SILVER QUESTION.
Senate and House Committees Hold In
pOrtant Meetings.

WASHINGTON, April IA meeting of
the Republican members of the Senatorial
Silver Committee was held this morning,
and at noon recess was taken. The dis
cussion at times was animated, but spirit
of compromise was shown. The members
pledged themselves to secrecy as to the de-
tails of the meeting. 1t was intended that
the House and Senate committees should
meet in joint session tonight, but this was
found to be impracticable, owing to Senate
rial engagements.
Members of the House Silver Commit ttee
had TWO hours session this morning, and
there was a general disposition to reach
some kind of an agreement and spirit of
concession characterized the entire proceed
ings. As result, when recess was taken
the indications were that the members had
at last found common ground, and that they
would be ready very shortly to agree upon
formal proposition, acceptable to them
selves, at least, although further modifica-
tions may have to be made to meet the
views of Republican Senators.
The basis of the agreement will be the
Window bill as it emerged from the House
Committee OH Coinage, with the addition of
few provisions intended to meet the views
of the silver men. 1t will probably pro-
vide for the unlimited purchase of bullion
produced in the United States at the market
price not to exceed 81 for Blk grains, and
when that price is reached there is to be
free coinage. The treasury notes to be is
sued in payment of silver will be redeema-
bic in bullion or coin. AT present this
proposition has not been formally adopted
and the committee will have another meet
lug Tomorrow, when it is expected that
Secretary Window will be again called upon
to state his views. The opinion is expressed
that definite conclusions will soon be
reached.

WARRING WORSHIPERS.

A Row In n Synagogue Results In the
Arrest of Two.
The synagogue-going population of the
community about Seventh and Folsom
streets has long been divided on religious
questions into two factions, and disputes
and even personal encounters have occurred
from time to time.
The congregation is poor and cannot af-
1ord 10 erect synagogue OF its own, so the
meetings are held in an old building on Fol-
som street. near Seventh, which was for
merly used as a saloon.
1t has been during the religious services
that the difficulties have occurred, and on
one or two occasions officers have been ap-
pealed to to stop the disturbance. The re-
suit Oh the latest row, which occurred on
Saturday last, was the arrest last evening of
Abraham and Morris Simon, father and son,
by Officers Bean and Mcguire.
The former was locked up on charges of
battery and disturbing religious meeting
and the latter on two charges of battery and
one OF disturbing religious meeting. Both
were subsequently released on 500 bonds
on each charge. The complaining witnesses
are Isaac Silyerman, K. Hassan and Morris
Gluckman. Gluckman preferred the charges
Oh disturbing the meeting and Silyerman
an9 Hassan the charges Of battery.
From what could be learned last evening
IL appears that the faction to which the
Slmons belong objects to the manner in
which the Gluckman-Silverman- Hassan
faction worship and manifested their dis
approval in forcible terms and this was re-
sented and little scrimmage ensued, in
which the Simons used natures weapons
on their opponents.
This is the story told by the faction OPP
posed to the Simons. Some interesting
developments are anticipated when the
cases come up in the Police Court Morris

HORRIBLE DISCOVERY.
The Body Of a Murdered Man Found in
a Barrel.

NEW YORK, April IA horrible dis
covery has been made at the Appraisers
stores. The body of a murdered man
was found in barrel consigned here from
Copenhagen. The discovery was made by
the Appraisers clerks in the second depart
ment. The body is that of an elderly man
and was covered with lime. The customs
officials have not the slightest doubt but
that the body is that of Phiipsen's victim,
the story of whose crime was told III pre-
yious dispatch.
The cablegTams have narrated how Co.
penhagen merchant was strangled to death
by a sOap-maker of that city, who shipped
the body to New York in a caSk of lime
On February 9th 4 mysterious cask, con-
signed to Beresford Bros, Racine, Wis,
arrived on the steamship ThingValla. Wells
Fargo u Co., in whose care the cask was
addressed. promised to ascertain for whom
the lime was intended, although they had
no patron in Racine named Beresford and
had received no request TO forward the cask
there. Meanwhile the cask remained in
Appraisers store.
After a cablegram detailing the facts of
the Copenhagen murder were published the
eaSk was broken open. From the top of the
barrel protruded the right hand of the mur-
dered man, with gold ring on one finger.
The arm had been forced down by the top
OF the cask, and had sprung up when the
weight was removed. The cask was partly
filled with dry plaster, piled around the
BODY so that only the head and one arm
were visible. The face was that of a man
so years of age. He wore brown beard,
streaked with gray The body was fully
dressed. Even his hat was found in the
plaster. The clothes were of good quality,
and nothing was in the pockets 10 tell who
the dead man was.
The face was distorted, as if the man had
died in agony, and looked as if he had been
nailed in the cask while insepsible and
striven to get out before he became over
come by suffocation.
Tie body was left in the cask and the
head nailed up to await developments. Ad-
vices from Copenhagen state that the MUIR
derer is one Phillipsen, soap-maker. He
needed money to strengthen his waning
business. The murderer was arrested while
about to embark on steamer for South
Africa
