NEW York, Dec. 16.-A meeting of
wealthy Arab citizens here last evening
decided to form a silk growing and fruit
raising syndicate in this country which
will give employment to all the Arab im.
migrants arriving here. A we'll known
lawyer. Townsend Scudder, was in.
structed to personally inspect certain
tracts of land in Pennsylvania and Ari-
with power to negotiate for the
purchase of such attract rs he decided
most feasible. An effort is being made
to interest the Armenian residents Of
this country, numbering $1,000, III the
scheme. The plan is for each Arab inn
migrant to cultivate a section OF the
tract for half the proceeds for ten years,
whom one-third his section will be

The latest proposition of the financiers
who are trying to lift the Argentine Re
public out of the depths of bankruptcy
is to levy tax of two per cent on de-
posts in private banks, to raise money
for current expenses and to meet the in
terest on the national debt. II the de-
positors in our own savings banks will
pause to think how they would feel a
tax like this-a tax that would cut down
the interest on their little savings nearly
one-half-they will begin to understand
the deplorable condition to which the
collapse of short-lived cheap
boom has reduced the people of the most
enterprising of our sister republics-the
country which lately aspired to the
proud title of the United States of
South America. 1t is the old story
over again, of trying to create
wealth by legislative fiat X; to get
rich by short cut. So long as the
nations promises to pay were convertible
into gold at par, everything went on
swimmingly; but when the time came
that this could not be done, the bottom
dropped out 1t ought not to be neces-
sary to read this warning to those who
are old enough to remember the de-
probation of our own over-ssues of
paper currency during the warm
August, 1864, one-dollar greenhack
was really worth only SO cents; that is,
it took $273 dollars in paper to buy
800 worth of gold, or its equivalent in
the products of nature or of labor
but in looking for short road out Of
the difficulties into which Republican
oyer-tGxation and extravaganza have
led us as o nation, many worthy people
seem to have forgotten the teachings of
experience.

Senator Hoar did the forlorn hope
business with his beloved Force bill
Monday afternoon and got badly left
on the outside of the breastworks. He
implored the Senate to sit out the bill
or at least to reasonable in evening SEES
sion and to aid in pushing the out
rageous measure to vote as soon as
possible, and their answer was Yeas,
20; nays, 81 no quorum. What a
Christmas gift this apostle Of sedition
and sectionalism would like to bestow
upon the free people of this broad land
A Washington correspondent reports
that Senator Iloar consulted a number
Of his fellow members preliminary to
making this venture, and got some ad-
vice in return that was not the most en-
couraging. Some Of the Republicans,
like Senator ingalls,, said they were
going home for two weeks and that they
cared but little what the Senate might
do in their absence. Others promised to
stand by the despairing reconstructor of
military elections. After weighing the
responses, Mr.. Hoar concluded that the

ALL QUIET IN KILKENNY

MORE TROUBLE ANTICIPATED
1t Is Not Unlikely Another
Outbreak May Occur.
Parneil Nursing His Lame Eye Which Is
Yet Badly Infamed--Only Flour and
Mud We're Peltcd at the Parnellites>

KILKENNY, Dec. 17-Kilkenny has
been as calm as cake Of ice to-day.
Last night both sides breathed ven
geance. Parnell's followers claimed
that lime had been thrown al his head,
and that the sight of his right eye was
destroyed. From the hotel window
William Redmond announced "If the
other side mean war, if they scald our
leaders eyes, we will reply in kind"
This was one Of the mildest threats
made, and it was supposed that both
sides would 60 to the meetings to-day
prepared for slaughter. But nothing
happened. Parnell's followers held
meetings at Grange and Callan, hui
there was no opposition at either. The
patriots held a meeting at Priesthood,
which was disgustingly peaceful.
Mr. John Deasy, member for West
Mayo, made an interesting statement.
lie said: 81 do not believe a word of the
alleged conversation at Hawarden. AT
private dinner Mt the Westminster
Hotel, Mccarthy, Condor, Parnell and
myself were present, and Parnell said
TO us to approach Balfour and promise
to allow the Land Purchase bill to 10
through without serious opposition on
condition that Balfour will pass bill
which will have the effect Of rcinstating
the evicted tenants. If that was not
Toryism and going back ON the fight of
the past 10 years | don't know what
Toryism is"
After time all the secrets of the
Irish party will be given to the world
for Parnell has become savageas well as
rather childish, and in return for his in
vective the other side will tell all il
knows to his disadvantage
THE LIME" STORY DENIED.
Parnell remained at the hotel all day,
with his right eye bandaged up. Dir.
Fitzgerald, one of his parliamentary adj
herents, claims that it was not mud, but
lime, that was thrown at Parnell. Some
of the people at Castlecomer have adj
mitted that flour and chalk were thrown,
but emphatically deny that any lime
was thrown. The mud throwing Incl
dent was made the most of by the Par
nellites, and to hear them talk one
would imagine Parnell had been cut to
pieces. He will probably remain in his
hotel a couple of days, on the ground
that he was disabled through the machi-
nauons OF his opponents. Ills eye is
ihJuiNt, but htic IL HOb ne WOulu De
unable to make any display, as he is
physical wreck. To give you an idea
OF how much interest is taken in this
election, half million words were
poured into the post Office here yester-
day for wiring. Some of this meant
duplication, but hundred thousand
words were actually wired. The staff
of correspondents is constantly growing
larger, and all expect hot times on or
before Sunday.
NOT LIME, BUT FLOUR.
LONDON, Dec. 1S.-The correspondent
of the Daily Neaos at Kilkenny asserts
that only bags of -four were thrown at
Parnell and his companions at Castle
Gamer, and that Parnell's eye was in \
Jured by stone which must have con

The Committee on Rules Authorizes 9
Cloture Amendment.

WAsHINGToN, Dec 23-The majority
members Of the Senate to-day gave evil
dcnce that they hadawakened to the neces-
sity of doing something or at least of con-
vrying the impression to their constituents
that they were anxious to enact some few
laws that the public is supposed to be
clamoring for. The finance committee was
gotten together, as also was the committee
Oh rules and, as n result Of their delibera-
tons, Senator Sherman later in the day
introduced the bill known as the Caucus
Financial bill and Senator Aldrich intro
duced 4 resolution providing for closing
debate in the Senate.
Mr. Shcrman's bill did not cause much
Of Il sensation, but when Mr.. Aldrich gave
notice of his intention to move an amend
ment to the rules providing for the appli-
cation of n gag at the will Of the majority,
there was a slight ripple of excitement,
and after the proposed amendment had
been read, Mr.. Gray suggested quietly that
il he referred to the committee on rules
Mr., Aldrich insisted that a motion of that
kind was not in order as he had onlygiven
notice Of his intention to offer the resolu-
ton. In reply to Mr.. Morgan, he declared
that he would not press the matter, and
would give sufficient notice before calling
it up for action.

Bogus Reciprocity.


The genuine reciprocity of legislation
offered by Senator Gray is no doubt
very embarrassing TO the spurious recip-
roclty Les .lators of the Harrison Nc
Kinley brand. Towards the close of
the recent long session of this Fifty-first
Congress, it will be remembered, Sena-
tor Gray offered, as an amendment to
the then pending tariff bill, reproduc
ton of the original reciprocity amend
ment of Secretary Blaine which Senator
Hoar had introduced three months be-
fore and which had gradually been
transmogrifled by the protectionists into
the meaningless subterfuge of Section
of the Mckinley bill. The Republican
senators could offer no objection to the
amendment without assailing Mr..
Blaine, so they simply voted it down
without discussion. Now Mr. Gray offers
resolution sanctioning reciprocal trade
with Canada, neighbor certainly more
nearly allied to us than Mexico and
offering vastly better market for our
products of shop and field. If Mr.. Gray
can get his resolution up for discussion
it will be amusing to see some of the
professed friends of reciprocity squirm.
Small wonder, under the circumstances,
that the New York Tribune advises Re-
publican members to "refrain from de-
batting reciprocity resolutions like that
introduced by Senator Gray" This
mouthpieee of the administration pro-
fesses to fear that such debate would
convey to southern republics the impress
sion that the Aldrich amendment to
the Mckinley bill, which has armed
the President with tremendous power
to secure equitable trade relations
with various countries" means nothing.
II harps upon the strong position" the
"great policy" &C., which has given
the administration chance to show
what use can be made of the extraord-
mary powers conferred upon it," and ap-
peals to Congress to do nothing to
" weaken that position but to repose
serenely in the trust that "the Presi-
dent, with his unrivalled administration
of foreign affairs, can be depended upon
to gather the fruit with strong hand"
Oh, he can, can he? Well, let him UNI
dertake to reimpose duties on hides or
coffee and see what will come of it.
Reed and Mckinley, with all their
whippers-in and Harrison to back them,
tried that game on hides and had to do
the crawfish act in quick metre. And
that was some time before the Novem-
Der elections.

President Harrison is directly charged
by a Canadian paper with a willingness
to keep open the Behring Sea contro-
versy and to emhroil the nation in war
with Great Britain in order to promote
his succession 10 another term. But how
is Blaine going to find his intesest in
furthering a scheme of this kind? To
keep open such question in theinterest
Of Harrisonian iingosm would OBJ
viously play the mischief with Blaines
pretensions to diplomacy and states
manship, and it is hardly likely that
with the nomination of his party as
sured 70 him, the man from Maine Will
deliberately sacrifice himself to build up
rival. Equally manifest is it that
Harrison cannot afford to provoke an
open Quarre with his Secretary of State
in this matter. If Blaine shall come to
