The senate AT Loggerheads.

WASHINGTON. Sept 28.-The debate in
the senate on silver and kindred ques-
tions Is expected to develop an ugly con
ditIon of affairs at almost any moment.
The attacks of the Colorado senators upon
certain of their associates, favorable to
repeal, aIe the foundation of much spec-
ulation and gossip. A continuance of the
present strained relations is likely to re.
suit in sudden outburst of feeling at
any time. The Democrats are mad be-
cause OF the attacks of Senator Stewart
upon the administration, and yet they are
willing to ADMIT that they are not treated
properly at the White House 1t should
bo noted that while the president is with
holding appointments the confirmation of
those sent is being withheld by the sem
ate. : A strong effort at compromise is
being made. and the knowledge of this
fact getting out was what gave personal
tinge to the debate yesterday. 1t is not
alone the silver question, for the federal
elections bill ia likely to come up almos;
any week, and the present acts NAV all
have to be done over again. Some of the
senators who have rs yet taken no part
in the debate express the opinion that
rules should be adopted to allow the
senate to be master of its own affairs,
aud not submit to filibustering on the
part of the minority.

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-In the senate
the resolution offered yesterday by Teller,
asking Information as to the anticipation
or Interest en- government bonds since
1850, was taken up. Voorheer said
compliance with the resolution would In.
volve great labor, and asked Teller to de-
tine the scope of that part of the resoIu-
ton asking under what circumstances the
interest had been anticipated.
Teller said the new administration was
installed largely because Its party found
fault with the financial policy of the Re-
publicans; be assumed it meant radical
reconstruction of the financial policy of
the country. He did not see how the
party III the next campaign could ask the
support of the people unless it dealt
with the monetary question, and the re-
peal OF tie Sherman act was not dealing
with 1t. Teller expressed amazement
that Republican senators should tie their
hands by voting against resolutions calling
for information never denied during Re-
publican administration. There was now
an attempt to refer such resolutions to
the committee on finance, and it was we'll

Journal. relative to the controversy in re-
gard to the part taken by Ernest Seyd. of
England, in the legislation in 1878. The
journal printed what purported to be a
quotation from Hooper's speech in the
house to counteract letter to Seyd's son.
In this quotation the words, referring to
Seyd, "who is now here" are attrlbu buted

Hooper's speech read from the Congress
siondl Record in which the words ''who is

said Hosr, ''are deliberate, audacious.

Cullom of Illinois knew the editor of the
Peoria Journal, Barnes, and, while he was
astonlshed at the misquotation, he was
sure Barnes was not personally responsible
for the forgery in the sense of having
committed or been cognizant of it. Tel
Ter also knew Barnes, and felt sure be
was guilty of no improper conduct In
connection with the statement.

A Pacific coast cotemporary thus
relieves itself of accumulated anger
regarding the dilatory manner which
the present administration has pursued
regarding the enforcement of the
Geary Chinese exclusion law: "The
proposition OF Senator Everett, of
Massachusetts, to allow the Chinese
another year in which to register is
right in line with other dilatory meas
ures which have been advanced with
studied regularity to defeat the pur-
pose of the exclusion law and assist
the Chinese in evading its require
ments. Such bill should be met by
congress with the contempt it merits. !"
Our cotemporary should recoIlect that
the greatest sufferers by strict en-
forcement of the Geary law would
be the Chinese who are rightfully in
this country, and who failed to regis
ter before the time stated in the bill
by the advice of the minister of their
government at Washington City, and
which is generally supposed to have
been sanctioned by President Cleve-
land. At that time the constitution
ality of the law was a question before
the United States supreme court, and,
although, technically speaking, they
should haYe known it was binding un-
til declared unconstitutional or re-
pealed, like wiser men, they paid at
tention to the opinion of those high in
authority

PROTECTION FOR ALL.

The Montgomery (Ala-) Advertise-
is sappy in theory, but sound in prac-
tice. As theorist it breaches that
the best policy of nation is that
which leads to the purchase of foreign
goods. AS a journal read and sup
ported by people who live in Alabama
it breaches that the best policy OF
city or state is that which leads to
the purchase of goods in a home
market.
We copy, with warm approval, this
editorial article from the Advertiser:
"The proper way to keep money in
a community is to spend it at home.
There is nothing needed for the adorn-
ment or the necessities of man and
woman kind that cannot be bought in
Montgomery, and if those of our citi-
zens who need articles patronize those
at home who have them to sell they
aid in keeping up business, ia the en-
ployment of clerks, in the renting of
houses, and in many other ways help
to increase the business and prosperity
of the place. 1t is right and proper
to buy manufactured articles from
home establishments whenever it can
be done. Suppose little can be saved
by given an order to some man repre-
senting q house IN far-away city.
The money will go away from here to
establishments that do not help to
keep up our state, city or county gov
fernments. The workmen who receive
it will spend it IN the town where they
live. Ii paid out here it will all stay
here and 60 around from man to man
and one dollar will do the work of ten.
Montgomery people should stand by
their home institutions.
This is the doctrine OF protection
applied to q community, and the Re-
publican party has simply nationalized
it since it has been in power. There

FREE PASSES.

The Salem Independent pretends to
be free lance in journalism, and as
sumes the role of knight-errant in
freeing the people from corporation
control, corrupt officials and other
evils now extant; bu. in the following
we believe it is incorrect in its conclu-
sions: "The Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific Railroad companies fur
nish our state executive officers and
members of the legislature with free
passes, for the sole purpose of pre-
venting them from enforcing laws, or
legislating in favor of laws that would
not prove beneficial to them." Even
If we we're to admit that judicial and
executive officers and members of the
legislature are generally provided with
free passes over railroads, we cannot
believe that they have so little regard
for their duty to their fellow citizens
that they would sell their conscience
and their country for such a meagre
"mess of pottage." If such is true,
then free institutions are farce and
humbug, and the despotism of the czar
of Russia is purer and more honest in
its relations to the people than the re-
public of the United States 1t may
not be just the proper thing for per-
sons, into whose custody are placed the
constitutional rights of citizens, and
who are considered the protectors of
the community in the passage and en-
forcement of salutary laws, to accept
any favors from corporations or other
combinations of capital which have
the opportunity Of expressing the public
without being restrained by statutary
enactmepts; but if this is done it may
simply be as respect or regard to the
position, and not for the purpose of
exerting any undue influence on the
individual. We have never enter
tanned any exalted opinion of politi-
clans; but if we agreed with our Salem
cotemporary regarding officials-those
who have been successful in politics
we should Immediately emigrate to
some desert spot, isolated from any
government, or try to discover some
island, similar to that which De Foe
described as the habitation of Robin
son Crusoe.

The Federal elections BllI.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 26.-The two
weeks debate on the bill to repeal the
federal election laws opened in the house
THE morning. The galleries were well
filed, an unusual number of negroes be-
Ing present. Tucker of Virginia, author
of the bill, opened for the democrats.
He began by pointing out that the right
to vote was not given by the United
States. but by the constitution to the
states. He held that if the powers of
supervisors and deputy marshals permit
them to perform acts not granted in the
constitution then the law that creates
them is unconstitutional. The states
alone can make the conditions of suf-
frsge. That being the case, the United
States could not step in and make con-
ditions. 1t involved the power of the
federal government to destroy suffrage in
the states

Gladstone on Home Rule.

EDINBURGH, Sept, 27-Gladstone ar
rived here at 4: 80 P. NJ and was met at
the railway station by a reception COM
mIttec and was escorted to Albert hall,
the place where he was to deliver bis
great home rule speech. The hall being
close to the railroad station neighbor~
hood, those two points and the road oe-
tween was jammed with people. So
thickly was tne crowd packed that sew
eral tainted while the cheering and rush-
ing was going on. Upon entering Albert
hall with his wife anu daughter, the pre-
mier received rapturous reception. The
hall has seating capacity of only 1900,
but 5000 crowded into it. The moment
the audience saw the premier entering
the hall every man aud woman rose TO
their feet, waved their hats and hands
kercbiefs in the air. and burst out sing
ing, He's Jolly Good Fellow" When
Gladstone had been introduced to the
representatives, of Midlothian and was
able to commence his speech, the cheer
ing lasted some minutes after he bowed
to the assemblage. He began his re-
marks in low but firm voice, heard in
every part of the hall in which perfect
stiffness relgned. In the early part of
the speech he gave no indication of in
tention to make the long-expected at
tack upon the upper house. He began
by saying he hoped for some Scotch Leg
islation before the end of the year, which
would be of benefit to Scotland at large
and the poor crofters in particular. 1.-The
Irish question:" continued Gladstone,
barred progress in that direction, and it
was only just to say the lords were re-.
sponsible for the fact of this barrier still
remaining" Continuing. Gladstone said
the question of home rule for Ireland
was coming rapidly upon them. He
hoped that should at any time the occa
sion arise for soliciting their votes they
would be given in a way not to undo OF
dishonor the commanding strength of
liberalism in Midlothian.

Anything to Gain Time.


WASHINGTON, Sept 26.-When the SEN
ate met this morning the repeal men
Were caught mapping By Stewart, who
observed that there was no quorum, and
questioned the proprlety of the senate
proceeding. A stay OF proceedings was
necessary until the members strolled iu
one by one to a sufficient number to con-
stltue quorum Dubois, of Idaho. then
created sensation by offering the fol-
lowing, which went over till tomorrow:
"Whereas. several sovereign states are
without the full representation in the
senate to which they are entitled, Be it
resolved, that consideration of legislation
relating to federal election laws, tariffs
and tinscial matters, materially affecting
the partially unrepresentated states be
postponed in the senate until Monday.

Washington, Montana and Wyoming 10
have the influence and protection in the
senate which is guaranteed each sovereign
state by the constitution of the United
States. The resolution was laid on the
table. Yeas 81, nays 49, The repeal bill
was then taken up.
STEWART WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.
Perkins addressed the senate in oppo-
sitlon to repeal, after wh'ch Stewart took
the floor. He read from paper articles
on the presidents alleged rebuke to the
senate. Palmer, Democratic, of IllIuoIs,
asked whether la was consistent with
proper relations between the senate and
the president to read in the senate grave
charges against the executive for which
he (StewarD would not be responsible.
Stewart said it was consistent for him as
a senator to defend the senate when tbe
press said the president was rebuking the
senate and calling the senators criminals.
"Let his friends deny that he has used
patronage to control legislation SAID
Stewart. "Let them make it clear how the
sentiment of congress has been changed,
and how an overwhelming majority in
favor of free coinage in congress has
been changed to q gold mono metallst
majority"

Roswell, telegraph operator, was shot
in the leg, and woman in the specta-

He fired five shots at random into the pit
Bennett WAS secretary of the Board Of
Trade Mutual Benefit Association and
prominent member of the board. The
report that a woman was wounded
proved unfounded. The man, after being
taken in charge by the police, gave his
name as Cassius Belden, of 800 La Sale
avenue, Chicago. He IS undoubtedly Il
maniac. TIE shooting caused the wild

of the shots and the rushing out of the
board habitues notified outsiders that
something unusual was transpiring, and
in few minutes thousands gathered in
and around the big building. and the
utmost excitement prevailed for time.
The prisoner, sitter reaching the police
station, asked to see a reporter. He said
be was carriage painter by trade, and
told long and rambling story about
having been hypnotized by a man named
Jones three years ago, and having been
under hypnotic influence ever since. He
at last reached the exalted stage. He
declared it had been a hard struggle for
bread. but when they began to sell his
soul on the board of trade he resisted.
They had already sold his two children
in Philadelphia, where he says he has
wife. He was dressed as laborlng man

soon as the shooting began. The last
bullet glanced and struck her in the Dack,
causing flesh wcnad, from which she
tainted and was removed from the build

ANOTHER VERSION.

And now comes w. J. Honeyman,
of Portland, who has spent three
months in England, and in letter to
the Oregonian says: ''The idea which
many here have that British manufac.
turers want free trade with America
is a mistaken one. They think the re-
suit of such free trade would be that
the American manufacturers would be
forced to increase their plant and out
put, work on smaller margin and go
into competition with British manu-
features in foreign countries. As it
is, under a protective tariff, the Amer
lean manufacturers have good thing
at home, and are content with the
home market and higher profits" Not
withstanding the testimony of mem
bers of the house Of commons that,
with free trade in the United States,
the British manufacturers would flood
the American market with the sur
illus products of their looms, throttle
and kill our industries and then re-
ceive their own price for their goods;
the earnest arguments in favor of free
trade contained in the thousands of
pamphlets from the Golden club, scat
tered through this country during
every presidential campaign; the voice
of the British press rejoicing over the
election of Mr.. Cleveland and the en-
dorsement of the free trade doctrines
by the American people, and the
speeches in recent parliament stat
ing that the Mckinley bill was an
embargo placed by congress upon
British commerce with this coun-
try; all these, the accumulated
evidence of long years, are successfully
refuted by three months sojourn Of an
Anglo.American abroad. 1t will be no
matter of surprise if the American
people do not change their opinions in
regard to the desire of British manu-
facturers for the same economic policy
to rule on this side Of the Atlantic,
that does in great Britian, and Mr..
Honeyman must make more visits
to his native land before he will make
many converts to his ideas on the
subject.
