LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

The bills introduced by the Committee
on Commissions doing away with and
combining the boards, as heretofore ex-
planned in the REcoRD-UNIoS, will be
taken up to-day or Tomorrow. Mr.
Shaaahan has been awaiting the return
OF Mr.. Brusie TO make the fight for ex-
tlngulshing the commissions, and it is
evident that the matter is not one for in
Simultaneous adjustment.
The Assembly committee that is in
vestigatng the charges against Bruner
held. an executive session last evening.
lasting nearly three hours. Il is under
stood that the session was spent in dis
cussing the testimony on both sides, and
that the committee will not be prepared
to report before tomorrow.
The Democrats of the Legislature held
a JOINT caucus last night, and agreed upon
to-day's balloting for United States
Senator
The Senatorial contest took new and
somewhat sensational turn last night.
Early in the evening furnors flew about
to theeffect that DE Young had withdrawn
in favor Of FELTON,, but at later hour all
doubt on the subject was dispelled by
De Young'S admission to that effect.
The press correspondents We're author
lied 10 telegraph their respective Journals
to that effect, and the Chronicle will to-
day announce the fact that such COM
pact has been effected. On the basis OF
yesterdays ballot the combined votes of
De Young and FELTON, will be So, against
Estee's 81. There are rumors of other
changes in the vote to-day, in conse-
quence of the De Young FELTON, combina-
ton, but opinions differ as to whom such
changes will affect the more fayorably.

A strange community is that of ARua ai Dios, tho lepcr village of Colombia as described by our consul at Bogota says the London Rock. Situated. at about l, 400 feet above the sea level with dry sandy soil. and tempcru- turc of S2 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit this spot hns been chosen for tho lass- retto by tho government on account Of lts ancient reputation for tho curs of leprosy. Somc 62O sufferers of this terrible visitation dwoll here, and form about one-third of the population; but tho most remarkable fact regarding tho settlement is that lepcrs and healthy persons arc described as living on terms of perfect intimacy. there bcing no specific leper quarter. though cvcry house in the village stands apart in . yardcn. Mir. Wheelersays that there is no case on record of tho disease having becn contracted hero by con- tagion. Even where lcpcrs have mar ricd healthy persons. tho husband or wife hns never been known to takc it from the other.

Women Pay NrcKinl.y Pr.ces.

A New York paper reports that wom- en who go shopping there now are hear. ing much about the Mckinley law. One woman related her experience in buying spring goods as follows:
 i've heard about the Mckinley law wherever I've been to-day. l went out to buy stuff for an ordinary every day dress. Last year l got suitable goods for $l yard, and that is about what l have paid for the last three or four years, sometimes going as high As SI. 25. l believe that it is only an inconsider. able percentage of New York women who buy more expensive materials for their every day street costumes.
 Il could not to-day buy material for my dress for less than Sl. 60 to $l 75 a yard. Material of similar value was easily obtainable last year at from $1 to SIPS a yard. There Is nothing desirable in any of the stores in regular lines at the old prices. had to take my choice between buying cheaper stun than l have ever worn before or paying from 50 to co cents yard moro than have ever paid before
 My shopping tour this morning has convinced me that Mir. Mckinley and his friends have taken considerable pur- chasing power away from tho few dol lars that have to spend on dress. and I shall never believe Republican when he tells me that the tariff is not tax. "

 Then he had particular plece of gratifi- cation. Annie went down to the deck and he accompanied her. They walked up and down, and she listened to his empty chatter about the grand sights and grand people of London and Paris. Ho tried to mako her understand what delights lay before the wo- man who should be taken to these places by man who loved her and 'knew his way about"
 She said little in reply, but she listened and hc felt assured that he was making rapid progress In her good Graces.

 "I have nothing to say about him. But although do not doubt myself, would rather you did not take him with us on board the Mermaid" twas the captains turn to smoke for . few seconds in silence. Then, decisively, as if he had been arguing the whole question out in his mind
 "The matter Is settled and canna bc changed"
 But don't you see, captain." urged Car gill in his heavy way, trying to be persua- give, If he goes with us you are denying me . fair chance with Miss Murray. If we are left to ourselves, all will go we'll: but if we arc interfered with there is no saying what may uoPpSu'

 But when he went away Cargill's mind was more in keeping with the storm than when he arrived. On that black drive back to Edinburgh the wind seemed to whistle weird suggestions to his brain; the melan- choy roar of the waters seemed to rouse wild thoughts of possibilities by which he might prove himself the worther man of the two; and the ugly siushy roads, crossed here and there by the ghastly light of a feeble lamp, seemed to reflect his mind.
 All the weak vanity of the man was stir red to passion and the passion which springs from such a source is always tho worst.

The rre.iIemt on Mo KIulevism.

President Harrison has recently had . talk with tho correspondent of the New York Tribune. He gave his views of tho tariff agitation and the Mckinley law thus: "Most decidedly, 1 think there should be no more agitation upon this subject until the Mckinley bill has been fairly tried. 1t has been charged with numerous faults. There Is no reason why it's workings should be prejudiced by malevolent predictions The bill has been already long enough in operation to indicate that much that was charged against 1t is untrue. A period should be permitted to pass long enough to test fairly tho character of the measure. Then, If 1t can bc shown by such fair and impartial trial that it has faults, let them be eliminated. but until such peril cd Is passed, 1 should be strongly against any further agitation of the tariff ques- tion." But the tariff agitation cannot be stopped. The President can no moro stop it than Mrs. Burlington could sweep back the rising waves of the Atlantic Ocean.
 The Prcsid,nt dilatcd upon ono of tho beauties of the Mckinley law as follows:
 "Under this act the American mer- chant can get raw material for the duty is not charged where such material Is imported to be manufactured into arti- cles for exportation, and so the American merchant will be able to sell at the same point of advantage as the English mcr- chant, with the additional advantage of free entry into ports where treaties arc made"
 But this is Q singular rositlon for 3 protectionist President. Tho Republi- can party keep reiterating, with parrot like simplicity, that the tariff is not a tax; yet this Republican President points out that the drawback on raw materials enables the American merchant ito sell at tho same point of advantage as the English merchant" A drawback is q refunded duty; but If "the foreigner pays the tax" it is not necessary to re- fund tho duty on raw materials to our manufacturers in order to place them on the same footing as their English com petitors. Is it not strange piece of legislation, too, to give our manufac- turers untaxod raw materials when manufacturing for the foreign market, and to exact heavy taxes upon materials to be used in making goods for the homo market?
 "The home market is tho best market in the world" say the protectionists. At least 1t Is long-suffcring and slow to wrath
