the bilIs reported wnica enaoied any one

cratic party on this great question
Some Alleged Inconsistencies.
lf free binding twine, free wool, and free
cottoR-ties Were an index OF the policy,
then the Democrats We're free traders.
What spectacle in these bills. Cotton
ties on the free list and hoop-iron, of which
totton-ties were made, protected at 81 per
cent. a new scheme of the Democratic
party had arrived when completed manu-
factured articles We're put upon the free
list and the raw material was taxed. Tie
farmers wool, complete product as to
him, was on the free list, and manufacture
er's cloth is protected at - per cent.
Calls the Bills Absurd and Unjust.
1t was undoubtedly the policy of
the Democratic party to sweep
all production out of the way This was
the method they had adopted of cheating
the people, but the latter We're not fools
and would not be deceived The bills as
reported were absurd, unjust and unwise
in every particular. If the Democrats in
the house believed in the policy of their
party they would bring in measures which
illustrated its principles. But they were
afraid. They like the ostrich, were hid
ing in the sand. If the party acted as
honorable men, they would ask the people
to judge of the two parties next fall on di-
rect issues

Pending further remarks by Dngley the

The democratic members of the

quorum of tnst hody, hut SO
many of them ar. constantly away

quorum Is becoming vciy com-
mon, and OF late 1t Is no exaggers-
tion to say that far more time has
been wasted in 'cslls of the
House" than has been consumed
in transacting business. And the
worst of the matter is that ma
jority of the democrats, when
some of their more sensible col
leagues have proposed ways and
means of putting stop to the at
senteelsm, seem to regard the
whole matter as a huge joke.
Perhaps.whcn they see the returns
of the next Congressional cleo

The Democratic House IN
this Congress will make great
record for useless, nonsensical and
tritiipg Investigations, and for
nothing else worthy of mention.
The latest scheme proposed is the
investigation of the slums of cities.
just what could be accomplished
by al expensive inquiry into 'the
origin, growth, vicious tendencies,
and moral degradation of the
slum population in our large
cities, It would be difficult to con-
ceive. It must be that some COLI
gressman has had an attack of the
DR.. Parkhurst malady, and wants
to go sightseeing at public eA-
pense. Granted that the condi-
tions exist as recited, what can
Congress do about it? A number
of investigations equally futile
and ridiculous have been already
started, one of which relates tc
the sweating system" about which
SO much has been said, but the
newspapers have exposed all this
before, and the peregrinatlng CON-
mittee of Congress has learned
nothing. 1t is wholly question
for the local authorities to deal
With. The pension investigation,
the census investigation, the i'm
migration investigation, the one
into the naturalization practices
Of the federal courts, and the hall
dozel others that have been
authorized, are not likely to pro-
duce any better results. But the
people will have to pay very
large expense bill just the same.

gave the alarm and aroused the
inmates of Coles hotel. The
first persons to arrive on the
scene, after giving of the alarm
commenced carrying out goods
but were soon stopped by fire drop
ping from the ceiling. Th'
building was one of three frames
on the southwest corner of tn,
square. All three Of these wer
destroyed, but being bounded i'm
mediately on The north and ives
by bricks, the fire was kept from
spreading farther. Mr.. q. W
Hight secured the building OF tn,
corner as drug store, the cen
tral building belonged to J. ]
Jacoby. The loss of these two
was fully covered by insurance
Mr., Wa!lace's building and good
were only insured for part value
his loss will probably reach $4,000
MIR. High and Wallace buil'
bricks on their lots as soon as th;
weather will permit, thus maxim,
almost the entire west side solit
brick block and greatly lessen th
danger from fire.
A report is circulating that tn
fire originated from unsuthorize'
persons entering the upper room
of Mr.. Wallaces building, whicl
is unoccupied, and spending tn
night there in drinking and gam
Ing.
Mr.. Wallace intends to thor
oughly investigate, and if th,
guilty parties are found and tn,
charges proven, have them pun
ished to the extent of law. Som
suspicioned parties have alread,
been arrested, and if they are th,
guilty ones, nothing will satisf,
the community better than to Sc,
them severely punished.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Resul Correspondent

WASHINGTON, APRIL, 25, 80.
A Democrat accusing the Dem
ocratic majority of the house con-
mittee on foreign affairs OF parsi-
moniousness and meanness Was
odd indeed, but that is precisely
what Representative Amos Cum
mings of New York, did, refer
ring to that committees action
in consolidating the mission
to Denmark with that to
Switzerland. In a short speech
in favor Of an amendment offered
by Representative Post, Of lii
nois, Mr.. Cummings said: 81 want
to rebuke this House for spirit of
parsimony exhibited in the en-
GeaVor to consolidate the Danish
and Swedish missions. This bill,
60 far as it concerns those nations,
is an insult to 100000, of our
Scandinavian citizens. The COM
mlttee on Foreign Affairs has done
injustice not only to the people of
Denmark whichEnation is monarch
ial, but to our sister Republics OF
South America. Again | want to
to rebuke this parsimony. 1t
means really, virtually legislating
in favor OF the the rich against
the poor. For by reducing the
salaries of ministers and consuls,
the offices are placed in the hands
of plutocrats and taken from the
educated, honest laboring or pro-
fessional men. l appeal to the
House not to place this govern
ment III position where it will be
regarded by all countries as the
one national mlser of the world
The house then to the consterna-
ton Of cheese-parer in chief Hol-
man, and his followers in the pea
nut ring of the democratic party
adopted Mr.. Posts amendment.
The misunderstanding concern
ing the Congressional appropria-
ton to aid the citizens of Wash
ington to entertain the members
of the G. A. r. at the coming
national encampment is being
cleared up, if the letters apologiz-
ing for having opposed it without
understanding it which, are com
ing to the committee in charge,
from all sections of the country,
reflect public opinion.
No Intelligent person who sees
or reads the proceedings of Con
gress will fail to agree with ex-
Speaker Reeds statement that
the present House is a laughing
stock for gods and men.
Some people are hard to plsase
Frank Hstton has discovered that
in agreeing to the arbitration CT
the Behring Sea question 'we
have been partly bullied, partly
cajoled, and altogether overeach-
ed The discovery comes little
late, but it shows lir. Hatton to be
in his own eyes, a greater states
man than the President or any
member OF the cabinet, which ap-
prove the arbitration treaty with
out dissenting voice, or any
member of the Senate, which rati-
fed the treaty by a unanimous
vote. 1t is, of course, possible
that Mr.. Hatton may see deeper
and know more about this ques-
ton that any of those who official
ly approved of arbitration, but it
is more probable that his diges-
tive organs have been working
badly and have caused him to
look upon everything, life includ-
ed, for the time being as failure
He has had similar attacks in the
past.

The heavy rain of Tuesday made

the harmony Of the convention.
Maj. Cramer is a handsome
man, and when he begins to stump
the district the ladies' will turn
out to hear him.
Maj Brock was glad to meet all
the boys, and the boys were glad
to meet Maj. Brock. They felt
that he h ID done more for Re-
pntlicanism in Missouri and
throughout the country than any
other man from Missouri who h IS
had anything to do with the pres
ent administration.
The Democl attic brethren pres
ent ST the convention were con-
vinced that the Republicans OF
the First District mean business
from start to finish.
B. Il. Haden, Of Hannibal, and
Virgil Williams, Of Palmyra, the
colored delegates from Marion
county are intelligent men and
dilllgent workers for the benefit
Of their race
J. G. Mckinley and G. N. Stille
OF UElonville, were two of the
brightest and handsomest young
men in the convention, and the
sposesmen for their delegation.
Mr.. Powell's speech, putting il
nomination Judge Sanderson, ot
Glenwood, was to the point anc
frequently applauded.
r. Powell, the colored delegate
from Macon, is q good speaker
and his address to the Warner
club was excellent.
Judge Hess is full of magnetism
and takes his audience by storm
whenever he appears.
The Marion county delegation
was divided, ard the division fur
nlshed the convention with con
siderable amusement.
Leonard Dobyn, the old whee
horse of Shelby. was on hand q
usual.
