THE Minneapolis Times says: tom
Reed is too partisan to be more than
half fair. He said to a Boston audi
ance that President Cleveland had
won victory, which was true, and
added that it was victory over the
Democrats, deceptive utterance
that was unworthy of manliness and
an affront to in diligence and truth. :"
And yet Tom Reed told the truth in
the matter, there being nothing de-
ceptive about it. The victory gained
is one for President Cleveland, and
the victory he gained was over Dem
ocracy, as the course which the party
has pursued has shown that it was
only half-hearted in it's desire for un-
conditional repeal.

MAI. VIM. SULLY BEEBE, a retired
Connecticut officer, has completed a
theory whereby he attempts TO prove
that there are more ancient ruins in
Bolivia and Peru than there are in
Egypt. He declares the most ancient
remains of former civilization on the
continent to be those ruins of temples
and of cities that are found in the
neighborhood of Lake Titicaca, on
the Bolivia-Peru border. These relics
are scattered over great extent of
country, and reveal remarkable skill
in stone cutting, in architecture and
in ornament. This region is $4,000 feet
above the sea level, and too cold to
provide sustenince for more than
spare population, but there is little
doubt that it's climate and it's popula-
tion were once very different.

WILL RECEIVE NO SET BACK.

Senator PETER in referring to the
agreement which has been arrived at
by WHICH the repeal bill is to be al
lowed to pass says he feels badly
about the setback which silver will
receive by the passage of the repeal
bill. What set back! Silver will re-
ceive no set back by the enactment of
the repeal bill, but rather will be bene-
flied by it. 1t does not knock dollar
of silver out of circulation, which has
been put af1oat by previous legislation.
1t leaves undlsturbed that portion of
the Sherman law which pledges the
credit of the government to keep gold
and silver at parity, and thereby pro-
tect the interests of the people, be-
cause it Will prevent that further de-
probation which unlimited coinage or
an Indefinite continuation of large
purchases would tend to precipitate.
This talk that the passage of the re-
peal bill means the destruction of sill
yer as money is all bosh, and those
VINO have made this assertion have
never yet furnished an iota of proof
showing that such would be the re-
suit. In the long debate which has
taken place over the bill no good
reason has been advanced why it
should not be passed and if passed,
where it would be detrimental to our
silver circulation, but there have
been many reasons advanced why it
should be passed and wherein it's pas
sage will be beneficial not only to the
best interests Of the country, but to
the future welfare of silver itself. The
country will yet come to see that the
best friends of silver are those who
are demanding the passage of the re.
peal bill.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.

The first rough draught of the new
tariff bill has been completed, and il
will now be gone over again by the
su bcOmmittee for correction. A
Washington dispatch referring to
some of the features of the bill says:
Some of the features of the bill are
radical. The wooden schedule is the
Springer free wool bill, which passed
the house during last congress, incor-
porAted into thPehill practically with
OUT change. There VIII be consfd-
cradle enlargement Of the free list by
the addition of raw, materials, and a
heaYy cut IN y. aaUIoo which are not
properly revenue duties. The idea of
tariff for revenue only is adhered to
quite closely but this application may
not be made to coal. Iron ore goes on
the free list and there is a consider
able shaving down of the iron and
steel schedule. The tax on whisky
will be increased not above 20 cents,
but the exact amount of the increase
has not been decided yet. An increase
in the beer tax is practically decided
on.
The members of the subcommittee
here have not quite made up their
minds on the sugar question, but they
are practically determined not to try
to get any revenue out of sugar. The
purpose is to classify refined and I'M
refined sugar closer together, but this
is more apt to be done by reducing the
duty on refined sugar than by putting
any duty on the raw. The bounty
will go and either an income tax or an
Inheritance tax will be provided for to
increase the revenues. A heavy re-
duction is made in the glass schedule.
1t will be noticed by this that sugar
is to be practically free, land the boun-
ty will also be knocked out. There
has been so much said Oh this score
during the past few months, that it
has probably had much influence on
the committee in that respect, and
they realize that to restore the tax
thereon would be most unpopular
move.
If the outline above is correct, there
will be quite number of features
about the bill that will be as unpopu-
lar as would be the increase Of the
sugar tax. The placing of wool on
the free list, together with the So
called raw materials, and the cutting
down of the duties of iron and steel,
will seriously interfere with many Of
the great industries of the country. 1t
will be noted that the free trade lead
ers of Democracy have not proflted in
the turn of affairs during the past
few months. 1t may be that when
the bill comes before congress wiser
counsel will prevail, and some Of the
more radical features be eliminated.

AS WAS noted by our telegraph re-
ports Thursday Minnesota came out
at the top of the heap at the worlds
fair in the matter of agricultural
ava rds. Some of the other states
carried off a greater number of awards,
but no state secures greater number
in proportion to the number of en-
tries. Minnesota's awards will rise a
trife above one award for every two
entries made. This shows the care
with which the Minnesota exhibit
was selected, and is simply a continu-
alton of the victories which the state
has been winning since the announce
ment of awards commenced, and it
is victory which has silenced the
voice of those who had nothing but
fault to find with the Minnesota ex-
hibit, some of whom declared that SO
far as the civilization and present
progress of the state is concerned, the
Minnesota exhibit was simply mat
ter to be presumed" 1t must make
those who were unpatriotic enough u"
cry down their own state, feel rather
small as they note the fine reception
it has received at Jackson Park.

KING HuMnERr ASSAULTED.

Rome, March 25.-The city is in a
state Of great excitement over an as
sault made this evening on King Hum
bert. The king was returning from the
Villa Borghes when a person having
the general appearance of an Italian
workingman, threw stone at him. The
missile almost struck the monarch.
Several persons rushed UP on his as
sailant and seized him before he had
chance to make another attempt at
violence. He was promptly taken in
hand by the police and conveyed to
prison; otherwise he would, in all prob
ability, have been killed by the angry
multitude. The assailant 1t appears was
a religious fanatic named Berardi. He
has since his arrest acknowledged that
1t was his intention to insult King
Humbert because the king had de-
clined to be reconciled to the pope.

CONGRESS RusHlNa


Bhl Crowded Out m the Senate.
WASHINGTON, March 3-The Sundry
Civil Appropriation bill consumed the
time Of the House yesterday There was
fight over the New York Custom House
provision and over the Worlds Colum-
bian Exposition amendment
There was great confusion, the Speaker
being obliged over and over again to ap-
peal Go the members to preserve order
and to direct the occupants of the CALLER
les to do so.
But requests and direction were equally
unavaihng, There was constant din
and few members who were removed
more chan a couple of feet from the dis
putunts could hear a word of what was
uttered.
The galleries Of the Senate were
crowded with visitors all day, but there
was very little in the proceedings that
could interest them.
The Postoliice Appropriation bill which
had been p8rJly considered on Wednesday
was completed, the paragraph in relation
to the southern fast mail, having been
modified so as to leave the whole ques-
tiou to the discretion of the Postmaster
General
The Postollice Appropriation bill was
followed by the Indian Appropriation
bill. This latter contained AN amend
ment reported from the Committee on
Appropriations appropriating eight and
balf million dollars to pay the Cherokees
for the lands ceded by them in Indian
Territory, lying between Oklahoma and
Kansas. The amendment provoked some
discussion, but was eventually agreed to.
Then the Deficiency bill, the last of the
appropriation bills, was acted upon.
Both the McGarrahan and the New
York Bridge bills were crowded out by
the Appropriation bill.
