WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Warner chair
man of the executive committee APP
pointed by the silver convention at st.
Louis, made argument to-day before the
house committee on coinage, weights and
measures in support of the increased
coinage of silver. In the course of his
argument he reviewed the various legisla
tive excitements concerning silver coinage
and said he did not believe it was in the
power of human ingenuity, to devise a
measure OF spoilation SO vast and far
reaching and so frought with injustice to
mankind as the measure demonetizing
silver. Warner declared the principal of
the Window bill wa the re-establishment
of bi-metallism; but be saw several OBJ
j~ections to II; in that the provision giving
discretionary power to the secretary OF the
treasury to suspend the receipt of bullion
and that OF providing notes to be issued
for bullion that shall be redeemed by the
issue of a certificate of deposit for the
note so presented OIL in gold coin at the
option of the government.
The house committee on Pacific rail-
roads to-day heard the arguments of
0lOIeJ, dllOTuey LOT tue UNION dCluC
Railroad company upon the plan pro
posed in the Cultivate bill for a settle
ment of the Indebtedness of that com
Dany to tie government. Storey re-
viewed the history of railroad legislation
by congress, and referred to the attack
made upon the Union Pacific Railroad
company, touching particularly upon the
letter sent by the attorney general of
Nebraska to the attorney general of the
United States, charging the Union Paci
fc had violated its charter. This matter
he declared had been fully investigated BY
the senate committee last year, and the
charges had been shown to be without
foundation Storey spoke OF the great
value the security that road would offer
to the government under the terms OF the
bill in addition to the present security.
This security included the unaided
branch lines without which much of the
main line to which the government lien
applied, would be worthless.

An interesting anecdote of Daniel Web

man in his article on "Bygone Days in
Boston in The North American Review.
Webster was delivering an address in
Faneuil hall on the necessity for indi-
vidual exertion and ~uniinching patriot.
ism to uvert the dangers that threatened
the political party whose principles he
espoused, when he perceived a terrible
sway of the packed assembly consequent
on the rush of those e~ndeavoring to enter)
and noted the danger that might ensue.
The orator stopped short in the middle
of a sentence, advanced to the edge of
the platform, extended his arms in an
authoritative attitude, and, in a stento-
rian voice of command, cried out: LET
each man stand firmr' The effect was
instantaneous. Each man stood firm;
the great heavfng mass of humanity re-
gained its equilibrium and, ave the long
breath of relief hat filled the air, perfect
stiffness ensued. THAT" exclaimed the
great orator, sis what we call self gov
ernment!'-so apt an illustration of the
principle he was expounding that the
vast audience responded with deafening
cheers.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3O.-It leaked out to-
day that one of the western roads is man
ipulating tickets in such a way as to cut
the rate to Denver. The regular fare,
Chicago to Denver is $50. 65 and there is
no second class fare to that point, but there
is a second class fare to Ogden, which is
$3.50. The prospective passenger to
Denver is induced to buy a second class
ticket to Ogden and pay $39 for it, at the
sane time receiving a rebate order on the
Denver office OF the company tor SIS.
This cuts the rate to Denver to S24. The
discovery OF this manipulation will rouse
the ire of the other Denver roads and
there is serious talk of retaliating by
making an open rate of $24 to Denver.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3o.-House bill as
to the duty on silk ribbons has been passed
by the senate without division, also the
senate bill in~structing the superintendent
of the census to gather information about
MORTGAGES on homes and farms.
Vance addressed the senate on the ne
gro emigration bill. Vance sarcastically
characterized Ingalls, recent speech as
oratorical pyrotechnics concealing a pau,
city of ideas; he acknowledged the millen-
ium had not vet dawned on the South and
that the land OF reconstruction was not
Yet the land of perfect righteousness.
He referred to the northern gerrymauder-
ing blocks OF five, election of colored chill
dren from white schools, ETC., and hoped
in time some accomplished black man
might be sent to represent the country in
some other land besides Hayti and LII
IBERIA.
Referring to Ingalls, ark about the
South standing on = volcano he said the
South needed no help. 1t could wage
war without assistance from anybody and
could easily manage and overcome an up.
rising of seven millions of negroes. Then
there would come the solution of the ne
gro problem, which would stay solved.
1t is the fundamenta principle of Ameri-
can law that the majority shall rule
(within limits) but it Is the principle of
natural law that the stronger must rule
without limit.
The negro is not incapable of c%iviliza-
ton. but is incapable of keeping up with
the civilization of the white race. His

simply hands off," In con c%lusion, he
said, addressing himself to INGALLS,: Il.

support the emigration bill; it did no
reach the case.
After executive session the senate ad

HUNGRY FOR RoUNTIEs.

The Sugar Bounty Extended to the Maple
Sugar Men, and Other Applicants For
Public Pap Put In Their Claims Now Let
the Growers of Wheat and Cotton Speak
Out-McKinI0y Makes q Weak Defense OF
His Bounty BY = Mlstit Quotation From
Hamilton.
Once the Government starts out to
giving bounties there will be no point
at which 1t can stop without leaving
many unhappy bounty-hunters grumb-
ling because they were left out in the
cold.
No sooner was it known that McKin-
ley gave a bounty OF two cents a pound
on sugar than the Vermont people, who
produce small quantity OF maple sugar,
beset the Senate Finace Committee and
pleaded to be included in the bounty
clause of the bill.
OF course they could bring forward
very strong arguments. "Why make q
discrimination against our maple sugar?
Is 1t not sugar, too, just as we'll as cane
or beet-root sugar? Does it not grow
out of the ground-and American
ground at that? Does 1t not require
labor-American labor? Why not put
all american sugar on the same footing?"
Well, the Senate committee said that
the maple sugar men had the better Of
the argument, and so maple sugar goes
into the bill for the two-cent bounty on
every pound produced. Thus the makers
of maple sugar, rs we'll IS the growers Of
cane and beet-root sugar, are TO be paid
to do their own business-paid out Of
taxes collected from the people.
As the Senate committee showed itself
70 be so generous to the maple sugar
men other bounty-hunters have come
forward to ask an extension Of Govern
ment charity. This time it is the
makers Of grape sugar and glucose,
which are largely used to adulterate
other products. They have also an
American article, employ American la
Dor, and make q sugar too. Why should
they be left out? They are just a.

Smuggling at New York.

Extensive smuggling of clothing hay
been detected by the Government OFF,
Gals in New York. The stewards, cooks
and other employees of the great ocean
steamers were hired to bring over the
bundles of clothing, which were finally
carried ashore in bundles of linen for
the laundry.
The thing has been going on for
long time, but the recent seizure of q
number of bundles Of clothing and the
arrest of several of the guilty persons
will make the smugglers lie low for the
future, and all orders for Struggled
clothing will doubtless be declared of. 1"
But how does it happen that men find
it profitable to smuggle? Have not the
protectionist politicians been telling US
all along that clothes are as cheap here
as in Europe?
There must be some mistake about
that The smugglers are q standing
proof that this is all poppycock. The
smugglers are, in their way, capital
tariff reform argument.
As q matter OF fact clothing cost about
twice as much here as in England; and
this can be proven over and over again.
But Mckinley himself gives the best
answer to this false claim OF his pro-
tectionist brethren--he raises the high
duty on clothing to still higher point
and tells us boldly in his tariff speech:
1--WE want no return to cheap times in
our own country"
II clothing we're the same price here
as in Europe the smuggler's occupation
and McKinley's too, for that matter
would be gone.
