Representative Bailey's resolution
expressing the belief that the Secretary
of the Treasury has no legal authority
to use the proceeds of bonds sold un-
der the resumption act for any other
purpose than that stated in the act has
been favorably reported to the House
from the Judiciary committee and Mr..
Baily will endeavor to get vote on it
after the tariff has been disposed Of.
Secretary Carlisle does not agree with
Mr.. Bailey. On the contrary, he con
tends that he can legally use every
dollar that is in or may come into the
Treasury that is "othetwise unappro.
priated" to meet the obligations Of the
government. The bonds will be is

1t is understood from trustworthy

Health always brings wealth of

BENTON.

We had a pleasant trip to Benton
one day last week and found many o
the town discussing the propriety oi
getting Benton into the shape of a
borough. A large number of the citi.
zens are in favor OF borough. Found
the new firm of Pennington & Seely
busily engaged selling goods and keep.
ing up the reputation Of the old firm.
Found Mr.. Heddon in his element
selling goods with this finn. Mr..
Heddon is leading spirit in the P.
o. S. of A. The accessions to the
Benton camp have been large ever
since the pub ic installation of officers,
couple months ago. This camp mum.
bers now nearly 100, with prospects OF
greater additions. There is no Order
superior 10 this one in America. The
G.. A. r. Sons of Veterans and P. O.
S. of A. are about on a par as to
patriotism, and they go hand in hand
and shoulder to shoulder.
The McHenry boys are rendering
good service as postmasters of Ben
ton.
J. B. McHenry is keeping up his
old reputation as first class hotel
proprietor The public find in him
an obliging and attentive landlord /;
his table and bar furnish the best
viands and brands the market affords.
Pennington & Seely took in 500 r..
R. ties last Friday and Saturday. They
have received large car loads of
timothy and clover seed. They are
indulging largely in this line of goods
with which they are supplying the pub
lie.
Met Mr.. Stiles Clewell who is also
prominently identified with the P. O..
S. of A.
Hotel proprietor Kline buried an
interesting little daughter recently.
She had been sick but a short time
with the measles.
Rohr McHenry and son, J. G., en-
gagged in the distillery business have
an extensive reputation and some of
their brands are eagerly called for in
Philadelphia and Baltimore markets.
DR.. Patterson is very busy in his
medical practice and measles
are plenty.
William Kline who was the active
superintendent of the McHenry livery
stable is now the active man in the
McHenry house and clerk behind the
bar, who is ready and willing to attend
to all the wants and wishes of the pub
lie.
Met Prof. Johnston at Benton, who
was busily engaged visiting TIE schools.
There will be Teachers Institute at
Benton the coming Saturday.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
tFrom our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 90, 1894

$500 ~ ~OSf
Victory is in sight. 1t has been a
hard fight and it is not yet quite done
with, but victory is in sight, and next
Thursday-the time Of taking the vote
was postponed in order to allow two
days for the debate on the income tax
am mendment-the Wilson tariff bill will
be passed by the House and it will
include the income tax There has
never been a moment of doubt in the
miLds of Chairman Wilson and the
democrats who have been associated
with him in leading this fight as to
final success, and the number of
doubters has been gradually lessening
since the democratic caucus Of last
week endorsed the proposition to
make the income tax an amendment
to the Wilson bill. There are some
hard fighters among the democrats
who have refused to be bound by the
action of the caucus and the opening
of the debate on the income tax
amendment to-day shows bitter state
of feeling, which will probably result
in lessenirg the majority by which the
Wilson bill will be passed by about
twenty votes, but the object long
sought for will be obtained it will be
passed.
The few amendments adopted,
aside from those approved by the
Ways and Means committee, bears
out the prediction l made when the
bill was first reported. Only two
amerdments-that changing the date
which the free wool clause shall take
effect upon, twas afterwards changed
for committee amendment naming
Aug. 2, ISo4.) and that abolishing the
sugar bounty and putting refined su,
gar on the free list--of importance
which were opposed by the commit
tee were adopted by the House, while
the committee succeeded in defeating
proposed amendments strongly back
ed to change the following clauses of
the bill 4: coal, iron ore, steel rails, tin
plate, agricultural products, cotton,
salt, lumber, besides a number of lesser
importance. Complete printed copies
of the amendment bill were on the
desks of members to-day for the first
| time.
'Its ar i wind etc. While the
friends of the Wilson tariff bill regret
that the condition of Senator Nc
Pherson's health would not permit him
to remain in Washington and perform
the arduous duties that pertain to his
membership of the sub committee OF
the Senat. Finance committee, which
will have charge of the tariff bill as
soon as it passes the House and is
sent over to the Senate, they rejoice
that so staunch tariff reformer as
Senator Mills, Of texas, will take his
place on the sub committee. The ex
perience of Senator Mills in preparing
and getting the Mills bill through the
House several years ago made him q
tariff expert and will make him va,u
able addition to the committee.
The democratic Senators made it
plain to their republican colleagues
that they intend to pass the bill fol
the repeal of the odious election laws
although disposed to allow the op-
ponents of the bill all the time they
reasonably desire to talk against it, by
promptly defeating the motion of Sena
tor Chandler, who has been allowed tc
pose as the leader of the republicans
in the debate, to postpone furthe
