PROF WILS0N x SPEEdYL

The first gun of the great tariff de- bate was fired in tho House Monday when Prof. Wm. N. Wilson, of West Virginia, Chairman Of the Ways and Means Committee, made the opening speech. There have been many able and valuable centribu- tions to tariff reform literature in the past, but a clearer presentation of the Democratic idea of tariff re form as expressed in the National platform of the Democratic party has not been made either during or since the last national campaign. MT. Wilson, with telling force. showed how surplus in the Treas ury Of s104, GOO, 900 left by President Cleveland in 1889 to his succaS sor in office had been swept away by pur- chasing Government bonds at high premiums, by refunoing the direct tax, extravagant appropriations for pensions, and bounties to sugar planters, until the Secretary of the Treasury was row confronted with a deep and yawning deficit, and Congress called on to provide way

An Alarming Disclosure Made by
 Physician at Nashville.

NASHVILLE, Jan. 10.-There was con- siderable excitement caused here by the fact becoming generally known that smallpox had broken out ill north west Nashville, five cases being discoy- cred in two adjoining houses and in a house near by in the same neighbor- hood, all of which had the same source presumably and which are said to be traeeable to q negro man who came from Chicago some weeks ago and who was visiting in all the houses affected. The physician who called to attend them Saturday was at first suspicious and Monday found two we'll developed eases in the family of Jordan Howell. He pronounced it smallpox and then learned that there were three more slml- lar eases i'll the other families.
 Thedamilies were reported to the health authorities and steps taken to quarantine and isolate them as far as possible It is known, however. that there have been large number of wis., itors at the affected houses and 1t IS not known to what extent the pest may spread before it is opped.

CAR REED, although a Republi- can, doubtless recognizes the fact that this is not a consolidated Re public. In a speech in the House Monday he referred to the Senators as the ambassadors of the several States.

 WAsp1SaToN, Jan. 10.-Inspector Gen eral Hr cainsidge calls the attention of Secretary Lamont to the fact that nearly soc officers are absent from their troops. The salaries alone of detached officers ill the year amounts to consid- erably more than S1, 1,000, GOO, and their communication of quarters to nearly 9l00,000. What is said by General Breckinridge on this subject is inter- esting.
 The detaching of officers has grown to such an extent that it is now almost the exception for company to have it's full complement of officers, although many companies are still disbanded. For company to have but single of- ficer on duty with 1t should be very exceptional occurrence, but it Is hardly unprecedented for q company 10 be left without any officer of is own. Last June all the officers of i've companies of the Eleventh infantry were absent on leave CT on detached duty. Many companies were ir charge Of second ieuteuauts of limited experience as commanding officers.

TuE Mississippi Legislature is in session at Jackson. The most i'm portant question with which the Legislatur, has to deal is the proper disposition of the States eonvicts. The new constitution aoolishes en- tirely the lease system and contem- plated the purchasing of a farm upon which to work the zebras. But the State has neither the money to par- chase nor the time to equip the farm, and thereby hangs the tale.

Dec g. Notwithstanding the unpleas- antness of the weather, large number of friends and relatives of the late Stiles l.. Hotchkiss gathered to pay the last tribute of respect to their townsman Sunday, December The services were held at the church at p. m. and were conducted by the pastor. By the death of MT. Hotchkiss the town loses one of it's lifelong and oldest inhabitants. His home had been on the paternal farm, where he was successful in his voca- tion. He had been in failing health for several years, but had kept cheerful and happy through the decline of strength and the decrepitudes of age. For many years he had been a member of the Congregational church, of which he had been one of the main supports. He never failed to cast his ballot either in town or electors meetings until the present year, when he was prevented by failing health.
