nIr. Ca,.lisle,s Speech.

Senator Carlisle's reply to Senator
Aldrich on the effect of the Mckinley
tariff upon the cost of living and wages.
which was delivered in the Senate yes
terday, was one Of the events Of the
present session, and was listened to
with great attention throughout by 4
large number of Senator's and Repre-
sentatives, Notwithstanding the heat in
the Senate chamber was almost unbear
able. He exposed the fallacies Of the
arguments of the Senator from Rhode
Island and demonstrated that, in spite
of the fact that the tendency Of the
times the world over was toward a de-
crease in the prices OF commodities and
on increase in the amount Of wages, yet
in the United States, owing TO the eX-
actions laid upon the people by the tar
i'll laws as at present framed, these ten
denotes were neutralized, and there
was an increase in the cost of living
while there had been no increase in the
wages of workingmen. The Senator
went into details and gave instances Of
the increase in the cost of goods of va
rious kinds, especially woolens and the
cheaper grades Of goods worn by per-
sons in moderate circumstances, show
ing that the prices had in some in
stances more than doubled and demon
strating that with free wool American
manufacturers could produce these
goods so as to compete with those ofthe
foreign manufacturer in his own market
Senator Carlisle's speech was striking pre-
sentation of the republican fallacy that high
protective tariff is blessing to the consumer
aud an unanswerablc argument in favor Of
the democratic doctrine of tariff for rcve-
nue. only, Every shackle on commerce"
said the distinguished Kentucky Senator,
every retriction on honest trade, every in
reference with the free exchange of products
in the markets of the world, increased prices
and deprived the people of the benefits which
they had right to enjoy, and which they
otherwise would enjoy, resulting from i'm
proved commercial and industrial methods
The republican Senators evidently felt tho ef-
fects Of Mr.. Carlisle's ponderous blows, and
Senators Sherman, Proctor and Allison follow.

CHARGED WITH MURDER. A.
Wood was arrested at Charlottesville
yesterday morning, charged with the
murder of an old colored woman
named Mary Peasants. His case will
come before the grand jury on Mon
dav next. The old woman had been
in the employ of Wood, who lives
about one mile from Charlottesville, as
cook, but was discharged q few days
ago. She refused to leave, when
Wood elected her from the house.
When the woman reached the front
gate of the lawn she fell, and Wood
thinking she was playing 'pcsom, :"
put her in wheelbarrow and wheeled
her to town. Shortly after arriving
there the woman died. One of Woods
neighbors claims to have seen the
woman Oh the ground and Wood kick
ing her in the side.
The physician who went with the old
woman to her home and only made a
partial examination after her death
gave it as his opinion that no bones
were broken nor were there bruises
sufficient to cause death.
Wood was released on bail late yes
terday afternoon in the sum of 81 900,
]. e. Gleason going on his bond. The
commonwealth attorney did not hear
of the affair until late Thursday night,
and the judge was out of the city on
Wednesday.

Curious Phenomena

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 30.-Tho Sc
we're thunder storm which passed over
this city yesterday afternoon did great
damage. Two negroes who had sought
shelter under tree were struck by
lightning and killed. Several houses
were struck and number of persons
injured, three, it is feared, fatally. A
curious phenomena in connection with
the death of the two negroes is that the
foliage of tho tree under which they
sought shelter was photographed on
the breast of one ofthe victims. When
his trousers were removed his lower
limbs were fond to have turned an
ashen white. This is greater mystery
than the Photographic freak.

ACCORDING to the speeches Of some
of the third party leaders, the doctrines
of that party differ little from those of
the anarchists, being to the effect that
capital is crime that should be sup
pressed. And yet most of the capital
of this country is in the hands of men
who commenced life as day laborers,
and who would have remained as such
if the doctrines referred to had obtained,
and the millions they have made and
expended in wages been undeveloped,
and the good those millions have con-
ferred upon other men, BY giving them
employment and enabling them also to
accumulate money, been undreamed of.
Money makes money, always has and
always will, and does good whether it
will or no, and the world would be in
sad way if there were not some men
in it industrious and thrifty enough to
produce, and wise and economical
enough to save it.

SOME DISPATCHES from Homestead

SOME DISPATCHES from Homestead
say the State militia are leaving there
and that affairs are assuming their or
binary condition. And yet others, OF
the same date, say no less than six OF
the So day foremen there were com
PEELED to quit work last Thursday by
threats of death if they failed to do so.
The whole history of strikes shows
that they are really against labor. not
capital, for the latter always has been,
and always will be, able to take care OF
itself and to make up for losses occa-
stoned by strikes. The six men re-
ferred to, by economy, industry and
thrift, would soon have been able TO
change their condition and become en-
ployers themselves, as was the case
with Mr.. Carncgie-who never struck.
But, instead Of that, they have had to
abandon work and expend their saw
ings in the support of themselves and
their families. This lesson has been
taught so often that the failure to learn
it indicates sad lack of understanding
Oh the part of skillful workmen who
take part in strikes. To people capable
ofreasoning from cause to effect it seems
passing strange that competent and re-
liable workmen-whose services are
always in demand. at good wages
should not, for their own sake, organize
to put down, rather than to support
strikes.

PRESIDENT HARRISON, in his message
vetoing the McGarrahan bill, says ''it is
quite possible that McGarrahan has
been wrongcd and that he has claim
for reparation from the government. ;"
Having said this, he adds that the court
to which the bill refers the claim shall
not consider it and determine whether
the claimant has been wronged or not,
and whether or not he has claim for
PREPARATION from the government. The
message referred to tends to credit the
report that it was written at the in
stance of the republican candidate for
Vice President, who is the son-in-law of
the president of the mining company
which has, by the aid Of the govern
ment, been enabled to wrong McGarra-
han for the last thirty years.

special committee appointed yesterday

The Speaker declined to express an

Grafton OF the Worlds Fair amendments

sumcd his filibustcring tactics. lie

Mr.. Bailey, of Texas piled Pelion on

On motion of Mr.. Holman II call OF

One hundred and seventy-three
members responded to their names.
Then Mr.. Holman, rs a privileged
question, reported from the committee

"Thc gentleman from Illinois object"
Mr.. Hopkins (deliantly): eyes, OBJ
jcct."
The chair fully appreciated the i'm
portance of tho resolution and would
make further examination as to the
matter.
So, Mr.. Hopkins having objected, the
resolution was not received.
Mr. Reilly, of Pennsylvania, then an
nounced the death of his colleague, Mr..
Craig, of Pennsylvania, and offered the
usual resolutions in such cases, the last
one that, in respect to the memory of
the deceased, the House adjourn.
Mr.. Reid, of Maine, said that he
hoped that the gentleman, in the pres
ent condition of the public business,
would withdraw the resolution. The
House had expressed its sorrow at the
event to which its attention had been
called and it seemed plain that, under
the circumstances, the House ought
not to adjourn.
Mr.. Reilly declined to withdraw it.
1t seemed to him that the gcntleman's
remarks were not proper on an occa
sion of this kind. His feeling was that
the remarks were of the grosscst i'm
propriety.
The resolutions were adopted, few
republicans voting against them, and
the House adjourned until Monday.

MAJOR SUTHERLIN, one of the most
experienced democrats in the State, in
recent interview said: "The demo
Gratis in Virginia have a good deal to
fear from the newspapers that are keep
ing up the abuse and misrepresentation
of Senator Hill. The situation is too
critical for that kind of Il campaign to
be INDUCED in, as Senator Hill has
many friends in Virginia, all of whom
feel themselves offended by such publ
cations" The Major has the rcputa-
ton of being wise man, but he never,
IN all his life, uttered wiser words than
those above quoted. The policy that
all wise democrats now pursue is to Sc
cure and increase Mr.. Cleveland's vote;
not to decrease it by unnecessary at
tacks upon those who opposed his NOM
ination.
