LARD COMPOUND,
Congressman Wilson Thinks Taxing it
Will Not Benefit the Farmers.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Wilson, of Ken
lucky, today submitted to the house,
from the committee on agriculture, a
report containing his views on the bill
reported by the committee on agricul-
ture, taxing compound lard. From the
arguments presented before the commit
tee in favor Of the bill, the inference is
drawn, the report says, that the imme-
diate result of its enactment will be to
increase the value of every hog in the
United States 80 cents, in the farmers
hand. The claim that the depreciation
in the value of swine and lard is due to
the manufacture of lard compound,
Wilson holds, is not to his mind estab-
lished. The greatest injury to the
farmer and his hog crop comes from the
inscriptions methods of the packing
house and stockyard buyers. Wilson is
reluctant to enforce the measure, which,
he believes, will either increase the
price or restrict the sale of healthful
food, and which would do the farmers
no good, but the laboring man an in

house by two members. The cases de-
cided were those of Langston VS.. Vena-
BILE, fourth Virginia district; Miller vs.
Elliott, seventh South Carolina, and
Chalmers vs.. Morgan, second Mississippi.
In the first two cases the committee will
report in favor of seating the republican
contestants, Langston and Miller, but in
the Mississippi case the report will be in
favor OF the sitting member, Morgan.
Long and Short Haul Decision.
The interstate commerce commission
today decided the case of Lehman ct
al, of Humboldt, Kan, against the
transcontinental lines for charging q
higher rate on sugar from San Francisco
to Humboldt than to Kansas City, a
longer distance. The commission holds
that the lower rate to Kansas City was
forced on the carriers by competitive
conditions, and that the rate to Hum
boldt was not only not unreasonable,
but lower than it would be except for
the conditions on the Kansas City rate.

HOUSE PROCEEDINGS.
Consideration of the River and Harbor
Bill Continued.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-In the house
today, Flower, of New York, introduced
a bill subjecting oleomargarine to the
provisions of the laws of the several
states. Referred.
On motion of Vandever, of California
from the committee on irrigation, a reso-
luton was adopted, calling upon the
secretary OF war for information relative
to the climate of Arizona, New Mexico
and parts of the arid region.
The house then went into committee
of the whole on the river and harbor
bill.
Post, OF Illinois, offered an amend
ment appropriating $3.50, 900 for securing
a continuous navigable waterway be-
tween Lake Michigan and the Missis-
sippi river, and continuation of the
survey of the Illinois river.
Henderson objected that the COM
mittee had not considered the PROPOSE
ton.
Vandever, of California, said jealousy
between Chicago and st. Louis hitherto
prevented the adoption of this grand
national project of connecting the lakes
and the Mississippi; a project which
would certainly be carried out in the end
and place Chicago at the head of Mis-
sissippi navigation, as we'll as in COM
mand of lake navigation.
Hill, of Illinois, explained that the
Hennepin canal was entirely indepen-
dent of this proposition
Catching, of Mississippi, moved an
amendment by fixing the appropriation
at $l25,000.
This was accepted by Post, but the
entire proposition was rejected by the
house. When the paragraph appropri-
ating $500, 900 for the construction OF the
Illinois and Mississippi (Hennepin)
canal was reached, Turner, OF Georgia,
made the point of order that the COM
mittee had no jurisdiction over canals.
Pending a decision, the committee
rose and the house took recess until
evening.

TIE ALLIANCE.

As all wealth comes primarily out
Of the ground, the farmers constiI
tute q most important factor in our
industrial and political life. The
men who tall the soil have not been
as prosperous in the last ten Of IF
teen years as they have deserved,
and no one can be surprised at their
thinking that the time had come for
them to ask What Is the matters
and to organize TO promote their in
terests.
The Farmers's Alliance is grow
| ing rapidly throughout the country.
Il is particularly strong in theSouth
| and West. In the South we can
| not afford 10 allow the Democratic
party to 20 down or become weak
ened, and il il with satisfaction that

| TO work inside Of the Democratic
lines and ~ appreciate the necessity
Of keeping up q solid front against
| the enemy. j.
The Alliance has some crude pro-
| positions in its platform One oi
these propositions is absurd the
Sub-1reasury. But from the pro
ceedings and the discussion Of the
various State and district Alliance II
| is readily seen that the Sub-Treas-
sury idea will not be pushed. /
| Another bad feature Of the plat
form is the opposition TO national
banks. In the national banks thc
country has the finest banking sys'
tenn Of any country in the world
Certainly no previous system in op'
Grafton in this country has beer
anything like 80 good. We ar
satisfied that The more sensible
members Of the Alliance will op
pose and wipe out this auh-nation
al bank clause. The balance Of th'
objects and principle Of the Allianc'
| are all right. The reduction In th,
tariff and the abolition Of trusts ar
prominent planks in the farmers
organization, and every Democra

THE OLD SNOWMAN.
A STRANGE ROW.
Helped the Needy Secretly.
E Richmond State. ~


| Richmond State.
Rev. Mr.. Thompson, Of the Park
Methodist church Of Bridgeport, has
engaged in war upon P. w. Bar.
mum, thevererable Snowman. Some.
time ago Mr.. Thompson made an at
tack from the pulpit upon Mr.. Bar
mum for bringing 500 ballet girls
from England to this country to
travel with his show. Since then
bad feeling has existed between the
two. Notlong since Mr.. Barnum,
who is one Of the Seaside Park Coul-
nissioners, gave consent for the
Fourth Regiment band to play there
Sunday afternoon. THIS caused Mr..
Thompson to make another bitter
attack upon the old Snowman. Then
the fight became active. Members
of the church became participants,
when the fact leaked out that the
money TO build the editice had in a
large measure come from Barnum.
Mr.. Barnum has lately been in the
Adirondacks, while his ministerial
a.sailant has been at Asbury Park.
The Daily Spray, a little paper pub
lished at Asbury, recently came out
with the following: >.....
The Rev. George L. Thompson,
Of Bridgeport, who is at the Fair
field, is pastor Of one of the largest
churches in his State. He recently
became engaged in controversy
with P. 7. Barnum overthe Sunday
band question, in which he com
pletely routed the famousshowman."
Every man has some friend who
Is thoughtful enough TO send .
marked copy Of paper which has
anything per,onsllY offensive init
Some such friend sent the Daily
Spray to Mr.. Barnum, whose ire was
at once vented, and he sends the
following for publication:
"lf the Rev. Mr.. Thompson of
East Bridgeport is not playing his
old trick. again, and that in sneak
ing way, circumstances are much
against him 'Whowas it furnished
this false item 10 the Asbury Park
paper except the reverend rascal
himself? IL there was before any
difference Of opinion in regard to
this man being a true Christian and
a faithful preacher of the Gospel,
perhaps that item in the Asbury
Park paper, were il known TO the re-
sidents Of this city generally, might
serve to make the public verdict un-
snimous."
This shows that the old man is
not to be downed. He is eighty.
odd years old and has never tasted
liquor in his life, or smoked. He is
popular in Bridgeport. Of which city
be hes frequently been elected May.
or. Large charities have flowed
from his hand. II is to his credit
that while he has humbugged the
public openly be has helped the
needy secretly. On the whole Rev.
Mr.. Thompson could have found
better objects for his vituperation.
