FREE BINpInG THINE.
The Bill Put Through the House in
Short Order and by n Good Vote.

Snort oruer anu by " GOou VOICE
WASHINGTON, D. g., May 1.-The Free
House to-day in short order and with a
good vote. 1t was suspension Monday,
and when Mr.. Bryan, of Nebraska, moved
to suspend the rules and pass the bill, Mr..
burrows inquired whether il was the
gentleman's intention to pass the bill in
this way without having given notice to
the minority of that intention Mr.. BRYAN
admitted that he hoped to do so, aud with
out Republican aid, got the bill before the
House.
Mr.. Payne IN. ", in opposing the
measure, said that no good reason could he
advanced for placing binding Irvine on the
free list that did not apply to every manu-
featured article in the United States. The
tariff on binding Irvine was but seven
tenths of cent a pound, and the
abolition of this small duty was intended
only as sop to the farmers who had been
injured by the bill to place wool on the
free list.
Mr.. Hatch (ATo.) earnestly supported
the bill. To-day the farmers were COM
PEELED to. pay tribute to the Binding. Irvine
trust. During the tendency of this
measure, trusts had been formed to reduce
by 4 fraction the cost of binding Irvine;
but they had the power to put it up again.
They had controlled power over the price
of Irvine; and if the House refused to pass
this measure the price would go up four or
five cents pound.
Mr.. Covert a. Y. opposed the measure
and denied that there was any trust to
enhance the price of binding Irvine.
Nc. Bryan asserted that there was a
binding Irvine trust and he advocated the
measure in the interest of the farmer.
After one.minute remarks by Mr.. Stout
(Niich.), and Messrs. Simpson and Baker,
tKan.) in favor Of the bill, the vote was
taken.
The motion to suspend the rules and
pass the bill was agreed to--yeas, 1888;
nays, IL.
Mr.. Covert On. w, and Mr.. coburn,
(Wis.), D., voted in the negative and
Messrs. Broderecb (Kan.l, and Picker and
Jolley Is. Do, H., in the affirmative.

ward colored citizens is that James S.
Jones, the colured committeeman elect,
through r. Eden Bach's assumption and
usurpation, will resign from stress of
business (he is barber) or from other
assumed cause, suitably provided by
astute Higgins trickery, and that Major
Mitchell, who advisedly resigned before
the election in pressure of the compul-
sorry demand of the Fifth ward colored
voters for representation on the county
committee, will be eventually appointed
by the county committee to fill the
vacancy.
"This is the neat trick by which
the Higgins managers proposed to give
and at the same time proposed not to
give the colored voters of the Fifth ward
representation on the county committee.
at is very neat bit of political play.
But still it is quite transparent.
CALLED ON TO BE MAN.
"The men who supported the indie
| pendent or race ticket arc satisfied,
however, that should James S. Jones
! choose to act the part of u man and be
faithful, at this important crisis, to the
interests of his race and insist on hold
| ing his place on the county committee
in that interest despite all the sinister
approaches of the Higgins managers,
| the colored voters would still under those
circumstances consider themselves VIC
torious in the mere fact of possessing u
representative on the county committee
for the first time in the annals of the
Fifth ward.
"The colored and white Republican
vote are about evenly divided in the
ward. The vigorous and industrious
manipulation by the Higgins men in the
Fifth ward is ascribed to their assertion
that Major Mitchell's presence on the
| county committee is indispensable for
the success of the faction. Therefore
any strategy is pardonable in order to
accomplish that end"
INCREASED VOTE FROM 1877 TO 475.
The voting in the First ward where
there was a contest exhibits another
picture Of Republican franchise elias
ITCHY. The regular BROWN ticket totaled
2O5 and the opposition 270, making
grand total of47jRepublicnn votes i'll that
ward. In the last mayoralty election
the Republican total vote was 142, and
at the general election of 80 the total
Republican vote was 1877, the biggest on
record. The question from an inquirer
on the subject of purity of elections at
the primaries is where do the additional
30S votes come from?
MORE HIGGINS TACTICS.
In the Fifth ward also where the
"race" ticket was in opposition to
Higginsism,it is discovered this morning
that there was still n third ticket
printed. This was a dodge of the Hig-
gins faction to neutralize the effect of
the colored trace" ticket. AS soon as it
had served its function of soaring and
confusing the colored voters it was

committee. Weighing further the fact that

did not hold legal election under the rules Of
the county committee, ana that tho kepubll-
cans OF the ward ihcn organized mn election

gives such right to the people al all times, and
thereupon elected b. represent them In the
First district committee, Maxwell r. Reybold,
