The Indianapolis Ne,cs, an independent
republican paper. says Of the late election
In Indiana: ''If any man in Indiana who.
at any time in his life. peddled tickets at
the polls had been given an Office. 1t
would not have changed the result of the
election. Local questions and candidates
were given special consideration. but the
general results is due to the prevailing
dissatisfaction of the people of Indiana,
just as in other states, over condition
of things for which the republican party.
in its needless adherence to the discrimi-
mating and monopoly-susta!nipg legisla-
ton, is believed to be largely responsi>
ble."

CATECHISING TELLER.
The Colorado Senator Replies to Some
Pertinent Questions

Ahe toioradO senator Replies to Some
Pertinent Questions.
| WASHINGTON CITY, May 16-Teller COM
pleted his silver speech in the senate yes
terday. He reiterated the old charge that
the gold bugs had the world by the
throat, and were choking the life out of
the man who owes money, and that they
had secured legislation in this country
| which had added one-tbird TO the national
| debt. They would not, he said, surrender
| their advantage unless they had TO. He
quoted Allison, Hume and other histo-
| rians. for the assertion that the decline of
Rome was to be attributed TO the lack of
money; and that the dark ages had result
ed from the same cause.
A Reply with Several IFS
Hoar inquired whether even without the
decentralization of silver in 1878, its price
would not have fallen.
Teller replied that if the United States
had remained on the double standard, and
if the demonstration of silver in Ger
many had brought down the price of sill
yer, and if the Latin union had restricted
silver on account of the effect of German
silver on the market the minis of the
United States would have been open i'm
mediately to the coinage of silver, and
every silver owner could have taken his
silver to the mint and have had it con-
verified into legal tender money, against
which there was then, at least no preiu-
dice anywhere.
The Agricultural Interest.
Blair asked Teller TO state, in connec-
ton with the fall of prices in agri-
cultural products, that there had been no
relative increase in quantity.
Teller did make the statement, and add
ed that the trouble was not one of over
production, but of under-prod uction.
Allison asked him TO state, in that same
connection, that the price which the farm
er obtained for his produce now would
pay for as much of the things he bought
as the higher price which he obtained
formerly.
Teller admitted that, as to some things
which the farmer bought, that was true;
but he added that there were some things
which had not fallen, and which the farm
er had to pay. His taxes had not fallen;
the interest ON his mortgage had not
fallen.

CORKING UP THE ORAToRY.
Another Debate-Shortening Resolution
Adopted by the House.

| Another Misunderstanding Resolution
| Adopted by the House.
| WASHINGTON CITY, May 16-McKiuley
| yesterday made another move in the direc-
tion of shutting off the oratOry on the tar
| if bill. He offered resolution providing
| that the debate in committee of the whole
shall close at noon on Wednesday next,
and the bill be reported to the house. This
| brought the Democrats to their feet with
| vigorous protests Blount declared that
| the announcement that only twelve days
| in all were to be devoted to debate had
| corked up good many orators, AS mem
bers had not thought it worth while to
| prepare speeches. The rule was unwise,
and a violent parliamentary proceeding.
| Applause
| Mckinley Cites Some Precedents.
Mckinley denied that the resolution had
| any purpose to stifie debate 1t was in
| tended TO concentrate debate on the para
| graphs and provisions of the bill. The re-
| solution was not to deny to the minority
freedom of debate, but to deny to it the
right to delay public business by obstruc-
tive tactics. Did the gentleman from
Georgia remember that In the Forty fourth
congress but one day had been given to
Forty-fifth congress the tariff bill had
been considered six days. In the Forty
eighth congress it had been considered
nine days
A Refere to Randall.
Springer said that in the Fourty-eighth
congress there were on the Democratic
side twelve or fifteen members who voted
with the Republicans to strike out the en-
| acting clause.
McKinley-Yes and among those twelve
or fifteen members was the no
blest Democrat that ever stood on that
| side-Samuel ]. Randall. [Applause1
McMillin inquired what (under the reso-
lution) would become of the amendments
| offered in committee of the whole and not
disposed of at noon Wednesday,
McKinley-They will fall.
McMillin-And it is your object to make
them fallg
Mckinley then demanded the previous
question, and after rejecting a motion to
lay on the table the house adopted the res
olution-I29 to %

WASHINGTON CITY, May 12-The Chi
cago dressed beef men have discovered a
new danger to their business 1t is in the
proposed law empowering state legisla-
lures to prohibit importations of liquors,
which was made necessary by the original
package decision of the supreme court A.
H. Needer, who is Swift's attorney, is here
looking into the matter, with other Chi
cago lawyers. The dressed beef, butterine
and oleomargarine men fear that if states
are given this authority as to Intoxicating
liquors they may claim it rs to other pro-
ducts.
Dangerous Precedents Not Wanted.
Up TO this time the Chicago packers
have been able to defest in the courts all
efforts on the part of states to shut out
their food products, and they are now anX-
ious that no dangerous presidents be set
by congress This danger was pointed
out Wednesday in the senate by Edmunds
when the bill was reported from the ju-
dietary committee. In explaining the bill
Hoar said it had been made necessary by
the late decision of the supreme court,
which holds that intoxicating liquor man
ufactured in one state, conveyed into an
other and there sold by the manufacturer
or his agent is protected by the constitu-
ton of the United States from any regula-
ton or prohibition of the sale by the state
law, on the ground that such prohibition
or regulation is an interference with the
regulation of commerce between the states,
Edmunds Was Probably Correct.
The court, in their opinion, say that the
states cannot pass such prohibitory or reg
ulating statutes without the permission
of congress, which is understood TO imply
that congress may give that permission,
aud that with that permission the states
may pass any regulation rprohibitory en-
actment which they see fit. Edmunds said
the danger was that the principle would
be applied TO other articles of commerce, and
sthat this would a place great power in the
hands OF the states, and Vest called atten-
ton TO the same thing
