HOUSE.

The usual controversy between Mr..
Boutelle and the Speaker came up i'm
mediately after the reading Of the
j ,urnal, and gave rise to more excite
ment than on any previous day. Mr..
Reed and Mr.. Boutelle spoke in favor
of considering the latter's Hawaiian
resolution, and the latter again made
the point that it was question of
privilege, while the special order from
the committee on rules relative to the
tariff bill was merely a privileged re-
port, and that the former took pre-
cedence over the latter The Speaker
repeated his ruling made in the Fifty
second Congress. holding that the
question of consideration could not be
raised against resolution emanating
from the committee on rules and that
it took precedence over all other ques-
tons. He held that when the commit
tee on rules brought in a special order
changing q certain rule no member
could attack the resolution and en-
trench himself behind the rule to be
changed. When the Speaker finished
he requested that Mr.. Boutelle should
take his seat. Eyes, yes" said Mr..
Boutelle, sarcastically THE gentle
man said the Speaker. still more en-
phatically, will take his seat
"Yes, know''-broke in MIR. Bou-
telle, taking step to the rear-he

with some asperity in his tone, will be
seated now"
sob, yes" responded Mr.. BoutelIe,
de6antly, 81 shall do it under duress."
The Speaker again repeated his re-
quest, emphasizing his words by
pounding his desk vigorously with his
gavel, whereupon Mr.. Boutelle quietly
dropped into the nearest seat, amid
vigorous applause from the democratic
side of the chamber.
The yeas and nays were ordered on
Mr.. Catchings' motion for the previous
question on the resolution reported by
him last Friday, fixing the time for
considering the tariff bill, and resulted
as follows: yeas, 1879; nays, none-ten
more than a quorum-and the previous
question was ordered.
Before the vote was announced On
the motion of Mr.. Catchings to order
the previous question, Mr.. Reed asked
whether any members who were under
arrest had voted. He stated that ne
had been informed by the sergeant-at-
arms that about 80 members had been
arrested. He asked whether these
men had right to vote. he thought
If would be rather anomalous to allow
members under arrest to vote.

OSg Of the many documents, with
which the rich opponents ofan income
tax are now flooding the mails, says
"tbe only instance Of democratic ap-
proyal OF an income tax to be found in
the history Of this country is recorded
in the Confederate tariff act" Well,
as that act Is conceded, in the South,
to be one 81 the wisest revenue meas
ures ever devised by the ingenuity Of
man, this revival Of its memory is GER
tairly not calculated to induce any

Senator from Missouri, was feelingly
referred to in the chaplaiu's prayer.
Mr. Davis gave notice that on We'd
nesday next he would address the SEN
ate on Mr.. Frye's resolution respecting
Hawaii. Numerous petitions were
presented and referred to the commit

submitted that the proposed inquiry
was very extraordinary. The DISPOSE
ton Of the fund granted TO the state
Department in the nature Of secret
service fund, was matter which o1gh.
not to be inquired into with great par
ticularity.
The resolution and the motion gave
rise to q discussion, 31r. German and
Mr.. Gray arguing that such ezpendi-
lures are always made out Of the secret
service fund, and that inquiries as to
details have never been made and
should not be made Mr. Hoar said
that all he wanted to know. really, was
whether the payments 10 Mr.. Blount

Blount was paid as other ministers are

Finally the resolution was referred to
the committee on foreign relations.
Then Mr.. Turpie offered a resolution.

MONDAY EVENING. JAN s 18s4

The PLATFORM upon which the dem
ocratic majority in Congress was elect
ed declared in favor Of a tariff simply
and solely forreyenue, and for no other
purpose. The tariff bill now before
Congress imposes protective duty Of
four dollars On every ten dollars worth
OF New England manufactures-almost
prohibi.ory-thereby tending to pre-
vent the increase Of revenue from the
importation Of similar articles, and it
entirely removes the duty on Virginia
coal. 80 that no revenue can be obtain
ed from imported soft coal. The mere
statement OF these two provisions Of
the bill Is sufficient to disgust old time
democrats. And yet there are Virginia
congressman who support the bill as il
is. without amendment. There will be
changes in the congressional delega-
ton from this state next fall and the
gentlemen referred TO will then be re-
membered. The tariff bill. as il stands,
j. not a democratic measure, is nota
bill for revenue only. and will not re-
deem the pledge the democratic party
made TO the people Of the country.

A Democratic Witness.

Hon. Edward Mcpherson, in the Get.
tysburg Star and Sentinel, recites a
statement made to him by one of the
most eminent democrats in the United
States soon after the election of 1892.
This democratic low wage economist OBJ
served:
"You know as we'll as I that wages
are on stills in this country; that you re-
publicans are responsible for this condi-
ton. You know, further, that the rates
of wages now prevailing in this country
cannot and ought not to be maintained
We democrats are determined to take
out all the props which you have put IN,
and let wages down to their proper lev
ell. If this can be done, without creating
a panic our reform will be success. But
if it should, unfortunately, be accompa-
MED by serious business disturbance,
then we will, Of course have deluge at
the next election. But we are deter
mined to try it.
The republican and American idea
is to cultivate manhood through good
wages and good living; the democratic
European idea is to subjugate more to
the dollar. According to their idea the
laborer should live in America as he does
in Europe.

HOW to Escape Contaeion.

The sad case Of Doctor Stebbins Of
the Boston City Hospital, who died
recently from diphtheria, contracted
while pursuing his professional duties
as admitting physician to the hos
pital, may have brought to the minds
of many the often repeated inquiry
as to the manner in which immunity
from contagion is secured BY doctors,
nurses and others, whose business
brings them so often in direct con-
tact with infectious diseases.
The answer must be somewhat
general, as well as a repetition Of
what has many times been given,
but it is not the less worth needing
on that account.
The two greatest safeguards against
Infection are a strong vitality and
selected hygienic surroundings. The
perfected human organism, constantly
and properly nOurished, and with
plenty of fresh air, is almost iDvinci-
BILE against the invasion of disease.
1t is simply question Of the survival
of the superior. Disease, which is
the weaker, is put to rout by good
health. just as darkness Yanishes at
the approach of light
The strength of disease lies in TAX
ing it's victim off his guard. In fact,
it's attacks are mostly made in am
bush. as it were, ms diously and
against the weakest spot in the armor
Of it's victim.
Let person, in no matter how
good health, contract slight cold or
get overfatigued, and Immediately
his very strength becomes source Of
weakness The stronger and more
virulent types Of disease find van
tage. ground. and fight begins which
lasts the longer, and is the harder, as
the opposing forces are tue more
equally matched in strength.
1t is easy to see that even a ply
stefan, over-taxed with work and suf-
fering somewhat from a consequent
neglect Of hygienic laws, may finally
succumb to the disease amid which
he fingers Youths Companion.

The Consumer PAYS.

Allen G. Thurman said, in 1869, that
the income tax would "come out of the
consumer in the end" Compel a man
whose income is made out of the rental
of houses, the sale Of goods or almost
anything else that produces incomes, to
pay tax on his income, and he will
take measures to insure himself that
that tax shall be paid by those who sup
ply his income. IF he is landlord he
will add to the price of his houses, and
if a merchant he will add to the price of
his goods, He will figure the tax into
his estimate of his expenses, and those
upon whom he lives will be expected to
pay it.
Thus the friends of labor" the tariff
reformers, who have already brought
the wage earners to poverty, are striv-
ing to put an additional burden upon
the poor; for it must be accepted that
Mr.. Thurman explanation is sufficiently
near the truth to account for at least
enough of the tax to give the wage
Garner his share of it.

Buried Enoch Arden Ailve.

a Swiss captain, at the end Of .
sanguinary and prolonged battle,
caused the dead aud dying to be
thrown alike into pits and buried to-
gether. Someone pointed out to him
that many of the bodies still showed
signs Of animation. sMy good sir"
replied the Swiss, "if a man were to
Pay attention to the signs they show
there would not be q dead body
among them" A similar power of
preventing the mind being turned
aside by trifing considerations ap-
pear to have characterized certain
kazi in the City Of Cairo. Mansur Bin
Musia by name. His decisions, ac-
cording to the London Standard,
were usually rather extraordinary
but every now and then they were so
remarkable as to attract attention
from disinterested outsiders On one
occasion the inhabitants of Cairo
were shocked to see living man
borne through the streets, tied fast
to bier, and hurried toward the
cemetery to be buried alive. His
lamentable shrieks we're entirely dis
regarded by the bearers, who re-
mOrselessly carried out their duty to
it's bitter end. 1t was soon ascer-
tanned that the Kazi Mansur was re-
sponsible for this atrocity, and, al
though orientals are not easily
shocked where the administration of
justice, so-called, is concerned, yet in
this case it was felt that some in
quiries should be made. Accordingly
the kazi was interviewed, and he was
asked why it was that he had caused
a living man to be buried alive. Like
Mr.. Gilbert's young lady in THE
Mikado," it was doubtless pointed
out to him that burial alive is too
''stuffy" a death to be agreeable.
They found the kazi quite ready to
satisfy their doubt. "You WISH" he
said, "to known why this man has
been buried alive. Well, his burial
has been ordered by me in due form
because six years ago his wife was
married to another man according to
the decree of the law, two witnesses
of a very respectable character hav.
ing certified TO his death at Bagdad.
The man, however, came before the
court this morning, pleaded that he
was not dead and advanced a claim
10 recover his wife. ordered the
two witnesses to reappear, and they
proved beyond doubt by fresh evil
dence that they had attended his
funeral at Bagdad, where he was
buried In their presence. From this
circumstance 1T is easy to conclude
that the man cannot be a real one,
but the ghost of former, and must
therefore be laid in order to put an
end to all future disputes respecting
the woman" The bystanders there
upon, as we are told, ''dissembled
their misgivings, praised the kazi's
justice and retired"
