rHE BILL AND TIE SENATE.

In the hurly-burly Of comment
mon the Senats's delay in the pas
sage Of the Wilson bill the fact has
beep overlooked that work upon the
prssent oil has besn quite as rapid
"a that upon its predecessors for
the past hfty years. While this
may be called a rather mega
tive excuse it is none the less fair TO
give the dates when the several bills,
during the last fifty years have passed
the Senate, so that a comparison can be
made:
Walker tariff, 1916, passed senate July
S., 1876, and was approved by the Presl-
dent, July so, 1876.
Morrill, tariff, 1851, reported to the House
March ~, 1860, passed the Senate Feoru-
airy 20, 1851, and was approved March 2,
1851
Tariff bill Of 1SS2, passed the House June
g. 1852, passed the Senate February -,
1883, and was approved March s, 1888.
The Mckinley tariff passed the senate
September 10, 1890, ana was approved oy
the President October 1. lS5l
10 seems 70 be the opinion or leaders
upon both sides that the present tariff
hill will pass the Senate about the mid
die Of June.
Another point is made against the
Senate's critics who have savageIy
pointed TO the fact that the Finance
Committee has offered 400 amendments
70 the Wilson bill as something unheard
Of and unreasonable. The same COM
mittee offered to the Mckinley bill 500
amendments, nearly as many; and these
changed its substance, while Of the 400
amendments offered to the Wilson BILL
Senator JONES in charge Of the bill
states that a majority Of them simply
changed Senate amendments and re-
stored the rates Of duty as originally
provided.

PROBABLY DROWNED.
A Polish Boy of the south Side Missing
Since Thursday.

Since Thursday.
Paul, sged three, the son OF Henry
Peverkey, OF No. 22O6 Main street, is
very mysteriously missing, and it is the
general opinion that he was drowned In
the river near his home. About O'Clock
last Thursday the little fellow left his
home accompanied by his dog. That
was the last seen OF the boy. The
police wore notified yesterday aud they,
as we'll as many others, looked every
place for the missing boy but could find
no trace of him. When the boy left
homo, he wore cap, had on suspenders
and wore light pants. Late last night
no trace bad been found OF him, and as
the dog was wet when he returned, it is
thought the lad was drowned. The
parents are nearly wild with grief.

COxEY's army has swollen to 200
hungry men, aad more are on the way.
The new corners are Westsrners who
are without food and raVenous unto
desperation. They are Drimed to make
things lively in their wild and woollY
fashion. The authorities should be
prepared to give them all the fun they
want, and to break up this absurd and
dangerous band of.cranks and idlers for
good. II has been COxEY's shrewdness
IN strictly obstrvlng the letter OF the
law, alene, that has prevented this
from being done long ago. The crazy
mob should be dispersed.
