THE CONGER LARD BILL.

As a specimen of Republican
juggling the Conger lard bill
stands out in bold relief. Ii is
claimed 10y the friends of the
measure that is is intended TO pro.
tect the farmer against lard trusts
aud combines, and also that il is
in the interest of pure food. On
the other hand the charge is made
that the COngcr lard bill, which is
nothing more nor less than a tax
on the cotton seed oil industry of
the South. is TO be passed for the
sole purpose of increasing the
revenue in order that a deficit
may not occur in the Treasury.
1t is known throughout the coun.
try that the policy now being pur.
sued by the Republicans in Con.
gress will not only wipe out the
surplus, but will plunge the coun'
try in debt, aud in order that the
deficit threatened by the proposed
legislation, i. e., subsidies TO ships,
extravagant pension measures,
public buildings, etc, may be
ayerted. the Conger lard bill is
brought forward, and under the
gulse Of protecting the farmer,
the people are to be taxed TO meet
the increased expense Of the Gov.
ernment caused by extrayagant
appropriations. But the people
are not so easily fooled. 1t ia
clear to every one who keeps
posted on current events, that
the Republicans are bent on using
mp the surplus by extravagant ap.
preparations, and by so doing they
will necessitate postponement
Of reduction Of tariff taxes, or in
other words, fail to pass tariff bill.

THE New York Star of the 30th

friends Il. w. Leach, private sec.
retary oy Senator Quay, has dis
closed the Republican scheme TO

70 have Superintendent of Census
Porter, under.count negroes in

twenty Democratic members. In
the northwest the population is
80 lie sNeAsa so as to give the
republicans ten to fifteen new rep.
resentatives. The Stars infor.
mant declares that the meeting of
the republican national committee,
May T. is TO endorse the scheme.
The political situation in Ne.
braska is assuming a most interest
ing phase. Ex-senator Van Wyck
is out with an open declaration of
war against the Republican party
OF that State, which has long been
dominated by Union Pacific in.
fuences. In public address de.
Nvered during the past week, Mr.
van WycK advised the Farmers

EX-SPEAKER CARLISLE pub.
fishes in The Forum for May a re.
view OF events since the last Pres.
idential election, his aim being to
show that the Republican party
conducted the last campaign in
order to procure the Offices, and
the Democratic party in order to
further the principle of tariff re.
form He argues that both gain.
ell what they struggled for; the
Republicans have the Offices, aud
the Democrats see the principle
for which they contended gaining
in popular favor every day. He
summarizes the pending legisla.
ton, which, it passed, would not
Olny exhaust the surplus, but
would require new aud heavier
taxation; and he points out how
the Republican party can not car.
ry out two opposing promises
that, he says, II made first, its
promise 10 the people that il
would reduce the tariff, aud
second, it's promise to protected
manufacturers, and to pensioners
that IL would increase taxation

but although the idea Is there, the person

of an old German woman who had aphasia.
When asked how old she was she would
indicate Sixtv with her fingers. If asked
how many children she had she would In
dictate seven. If two of the fingers were
turned down she would get angry and IN
sist upon the seven She was able to IN
derstand questions. She knew what the
figure 7 meant. but had not the power TO

were fixed on the boy as he united the
ropes that held the angular and detected

horse did not evinCe any surprise whatever
at the unexpected experience that he was
the hero of. but merely hung his head and
caught few winks of sleep. while the cold
breeze stirred his grizzled name and al
most performed an Eolian melody among
his ribs After while he was free of the
wagon. and the boy, after tying up the
fugitive ends of the rope and leather that
dangled from his harness. gathered the
reins into his hands and cast a look to-
ward the impIacable policeman.
'Wull?" he exclaimed, interrogatively.
The policeman looked back into his in
curing eyes and said
Now, you get home.
The boy turned the horses head in
downtown direction. The beast straight
ened strangely, and gazed with bright
ened eye down through the hazy vista of
the avenue. Then he waved his tail aIoft
and whinnied.
&c 'ep!' cried the boy.
That was sufficient. The crowd was re-
