CONGRESS IN A PASSION.

There was singular scene in Congress
yesterday when, stirred up by an i'm
passioned speech by Mr.. Johnson OF In
diana, Southern members rose to their
feet to protest that the negro had always
been well treated in their section, and
yearned to slick" the man who said
they had not. Mr.. johnson, in answer
to rather ill-advised criticism of Presi-
dent Harrison for not appointing negro
member of the Worlds Fair Commits
sion, had uttered a just rebuke to the
critic. Indeed, it was not needed.
President Harrison is emphatically the
colored mans President. He fought to
free them, and i'm Office he has been SO
just and considerate of their interests
that they have risen almost as one man
to ask his denomination.
But Mr.. johnson went farther when
he declared that it had never been said
of the Republican party that it had put
gives upon the wrists of any human be-
ing or that it had torn child from the
breast of its mother and sold it into sla-
very, and when he vehemently de-
nounced the treatment Of the negro by
the Democratic party of the Southern
States. Then the Democratic members
undertook to howl him down, and afte r
Mr.. Grain had offered to see Mr.. Bergen
in the corridors, Mr.. Hooker deprecat-
ed Mr.. Johnson's remarks as an attempt
to "create bad blood"
That's always the way. II You want
to say to the Devil that he is black, his
Satanic majesty always replies, "Sir,
that is an offensive personality, and apt
to create bad blood"

The vote ln favor of the lease was
overwhelming.


The free trade papers were reluctantly
compelled to announce in their news col
umns yesterday the Ito them) melancholy
fact that the East River Lead Company
has established branch factory at Nos.
$3.50 East Nineteenth street, New York,
for the manufacture of tin plates. The
machinery is complete and of the most
approved pattern. 1t was started at
noon by Manager w. 7. Layshorn, and
before the day was over the manufac-
ture of tin plate in the metropolis of the
country was an accomplished fact.
The factory has already enough orders
"ahead to keep it running for months.
Mr.. Layshorn said yesterday: 1--WE are
convinced that the wage earner's tariff
has already proved such a blessing tc
this country that the citizens of the
United States will never allow it to be
changed, We shall make both tin and
terne plates, and are going to order new
machines as soon as we can acquire
property near enough to us to make q
proper location for a completed fac
tory"
It's bad year for the Democracy.

THE M,KINLEY BILL.

The subcommittee which has been in
vestigating the effects of the Mckinley
bill on prices is nearly ready to report to
the Senate and the data il has obtained
will be scanned with interest by men of
all parties. The committee has visited
in person or through special agents OF
the department of labor some eighty
cities and towns and taken a mass Of
testimony as to the retail prices of some
200 articles from June, 1899, up to last
autumn. These figures will be of the
utmost value as furnishing the actual
facts with regard to the best and most
maligned tariff the country has ever
worked under.
To complete the picture of the present
condition Of the country and to make
possible an intelligent comparison with
former periods, complete tabulation OF
the prices of leading articles in current
money has been prepared for the past
fifty years, or from 1912 to 1892. Such
work has never been done before with
anything like the same thoroughness,
and the statistics will be of as much
interest to students of currency prob
lens as to those of industrial questions.
Three Republican Senators, Messrs.
Aldrich, Allison and Hiscock, have been
joined with two Democrats, Messrs.
Harris and Carlisle, in the work and
two sets of conclusions from the data
obtained are TO be expected. A large
share of the heavy end of the work
has been shouldered by Senator Aldrich,
and whether his Democratic constitu-
ents agree with Republican reasoning OF
not, the figures will stand for them
selves, a monument to painstaking in
dustry and a necessary starting point
for any superstructure of talk building.
The figures Republicans are not afraid
of. They expect to find them more use
full than any amount of rhetoric in the
opening campaign.

To the Editors Of the News:
Allow me please little space in the
columns of your paper to contradict cer-
tain alleged statements made by our COM
mittee at last nights meeting Of the
Democratic city committee, as reported In
tary of the Hebrew A merican- In ndepend-
ent Association, also a member of the
committee appointed by named associa-
tion to wait on the Republican and DEM
ocratic committees, and as such declare
that our statements made last night wers
entirely different to what the Democratic
city committee gave to the press.
emphatically deny that we tried to
smooth matters over, as to do away with
the bad feelings that exist between the
Democratic party and our votes. We
never made such an attempt. L do not
believe that there Is one member OF our
association who regrets the position we
have taken at the last election. Neither
did we state that COMMITTEES OF nIteen
has now the authority TO negotiate Tor
our votes.
We said to the Democratic city com
mittee that. whereas, there are certain III
dividuals who pretend TO control us, ana
can deliver us TO any party they please;
We want them 20 distinctly understand
that there is no individual who can do SO
that we have expelled from our assocla-
tion those that made such statement In
the past aud that we will continue TO DO
so in the future. Our association mas
been organized for the purpose OF Ameri =
canizing and naturalizing our people,ai so
for the protection and the advancement
Of our race FROM political standpoint.
aud not for any mercenary purposes what
ever. We find 1t for our best interests TO
remain independent for the present, and
nobody but an executive committee. who
manages our association, can decide what
party we shall support.
l also deny tnat we have been informed
that those who voted Republican ticket
last election will be debarred from voting
at their caucuses. l stated, in answer TO
a question put by their chairman, that
we will not participate at their caucuses,
because our association is independent
and has no connection whatever, at pres
ent, with the Democratic party. One of
our committee expressed his opinion that
the Democratic City Committee should
debar those who voted Republican tick
ct last election, but one OF the members
objected To it.

The Kentucky Editor sagely Predicts
His Party's Defeat.
Henry Watterson is in a melancholy
mood over the whole presidential busi-
ness. In spite of his Cassandralike
warnings he sees everything in the Dem
ocratic camp moving toward Cleveland,
and in burst Of eloquent sorrow lets
himself loose as follows:
In the beginning had intended to
let the whole thing take its course with
out a word. If the Democratic party
is bent on going to the devil astride Of
Mr.. Cleveland's back, and if Mr.. Cleve-
land is so dazed by the bee in his bon
net as to be willing, why should any
dissenting Democrat interpose an OBJ
lection? All my life l have been fight
ing uphill battles for truths which the
party would not see until it was too late
am tired. / have earned rest. 1t
matters nothing to me who gets the Of
fees. / never get anything but abuse
for telling the truth. AS far as my own
personal interest and prediction are
concerned, / would not walk around
the corner to name the next president of
the United States. But, on larger
grounds, should like to see the Demo-
cratic party win the next election, and,
as nobody else seems willing to say
what everybody here knows as well as |
do, it is put upon me as very disagree
able, but very imperative, duty to de-
clare. as / shall continue to do to the
end, that the nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land is the surrender Of tho election in
advance. ce.--Chicago Tribune.

ALDRICH ON HARRISON.

A Washington interviewer credits
Senator Aldrich with the prediction that
President Harrison will be ronominated
at Minneapolis on the first ballot.
Whether Mr.. Aldrich does or does not
over-estimate the strength of the admin
istration forces, the Republican party
throughout the country will agree with
him heartily that If the President
is the nominee his leadership will
insure steady, aggressive and win
ming campaign. The News has never
denied the hope it shares with hun
dreds of thousands of Republicans that
the pronounced reluctance of Mr..
Blaine to undergo the fatigues and anx-
ieties of the canvass may be overcome,
and that, even against his will, the
country may be able to pay to the great
est statesman of his generation the trib-
ute of honor and of respect it longs to
lay before him. The News has been
from the day of its birth a Blaine paper,
but il has also been and will continue to
be in the fore front Of those who hold
up to deserved admiration the admins
tration of President Harrison.
The position which Mr.. Blaine occu-
pies iii this country is no ordinary one.
His commanding genius and his years
of devoted service have given him a
rank in his party such that any man
may well be proud TO be second to him.
The Presidency could lift him no higher,
but TO see him In the White House
would bring to his admirers joy they
are in no wise likely to forego, except
under protest from him too strong to be
disregarded.
Should that protest come and should
Mr.. Blaine forbid his nomination, and
should the convention express itself
for Mr.. Harrison, the rank and file
of Republicans from Maine to California
may congratulate themselves on the
clean record and the level head of the
man who has so well maintained the
credit and the dignity of the country
abroad and at home.
Secretary Foster, in an interview in
Washington yesterday, spoke of the
President in terms just and wise. "He
is able" said the secretary, "experi-
enced, honest and brave as lion. He
has giveS to the country good admin
istration. The people know where he
stands on every question. He has no
concealments. He makes no promises
that he does not keep and processes no
friendships that he does not feel. Then
his discretion amounts TO genius. He
neither says nor does foolish things.
"Renominate the President, and
where is the Republican who would
spend one anxious moment rs TO the liza
bility of the candidate TO blunder? No
enthusiastic serenading party; no visit
ing delegation Of local party leaders no
chance visitors dropping in to pay their
respects would betray the President
into single unfortunate expression. He
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1892-05-26

is at all times the master of himself, and
makes a model candidate"
Mr.. Harrison is strong, true, and en-
inently worthy of the suffrages of his
countrymen. If the nomination comes
to him he will get stanch and solid sup
port, and with the nominee of the con-
vention, be he Blaine or Harrison or an
as yet unnamed man, Republican ideas
will triumph, for the Republican party
concerns itself first with principles and
second with men.

THE WORLD" wHIMPERs.


A Democratic Organ Forced to Admit
Congressional Extravagance.
Are the Democrats in the house OF
representatives mad? Or have they sub
mitted themselves TO the control of po-
litical imbeciles?
Upon no theory of sanity or sense can
their recent course be explained.
Four days in succession, with a ma
jority of $50, they permitted their
quorum to be broken by horse race.
AS though the faithlessness of inatten.
ton to duty were not bad enough, they
reassembled in force only to enter upon
a carnival of extravaganza.
II is time for halt.
The men who are making this record
are betraying and in danger Of destroy
ing their party.
We tell them further that If they dc
not halt and retrace their steps they will
be almost certain to throw the next
presidency into the waiting laps of thu
jeering and exultant Republicans.
Do they not perceive that the issue o.
a deficiency, If raised by party Of
economy, will be more effective in th'
presidential campaign than even thu
worse-than-war tariff or the war-in
peace force bill?
How can the Democrats raise this is
sue if their house outsquanders th'
squanderers-if, instead of cutting down
the appropriations 100000, 900, as they
promised, they increase them $50, ,000, ,00'
passing the half billion high watel
mark at the first session?
If there be not an instant halt and ;
complete about face in the house, th'
Chicago convention may as well no
meet.-New York World Dem.).

AS L WAS SAYING.

In our city there are known to be four
men who carry insurance on their lives
500. 900 or over. They are Gov. Herbert
w. Ladd, $4,000: William Desston, $ll0-
600; James Hawley, 100000, and L. j..
Linton 100000.
Probably the man insured for tho
largest amount of any in this country is
Postmaster General Wanamaker. He is
Insured for 81. .5O5, coo. Mr.. Wanamaker
is probably as widely known as any man
in the United States.
Other well-known men insured for
large sums are as follows;
CYRUS w. Field OF New York, $780,
$50. 900: Charles \. Dana of New York,
$4,000; j. X. Mcpherson OF Patterson,
$4,000: George A. Armour of Chicago,
100000: Frank Jones of Portsmouth,
S2O5,OOO; NJ. ID. Harter of Mansfield
Ohio. 500. 600: Asa i. Potter of Boston,
si4O, 900; George Nj. Pullman of Chicago,
100000.
These men are all rich and the endow-
ment premiums are easily met by them.
The great majority of those insured,
however, are for less amounts than those
here given. They cannot afford to pay
the large premiums necessitated 10y n
large insurance. And yet they are bene-
fitted as much IL not more.
While the premiums have TO be paid as
the tax bill, and he who pays them
knows ne Is max ing good Investment,
vet there are times when they come due
at an inconvcnient time.
A fully paid up policy is comparatively
uncommon, but its value Is inestimable
For a man TO obtain such policy on his
own account would be the equivalent OF
putting aside ap equal sum as a Legacy

proposes 20 do TO the lucky man who polls
