The TARIFF DEBATE
BURROWS REPLIES TO WILL
SONS OPENING.
PRAISES THE M'KNLEY BILL.
He Predicts That the Passage of tho
Wilson Bill Will Lead to Individual
Disaster and National Bank
ruptcy-A Very Brief Session
Of the SenRte-A Batch
Of Confirms ions.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-The attend
ance on the floor and in the galleries
was not large when the house met at
IL o'clock this morning. After the
reading of the journal and some minor
work the house resolved itself into
committee of the whole for the con-
sideration of the tariff bill AMI Mr.
Wilson concluded his speech of yes
terday.
Mr.. Burrows of Michigan, who for
mally opened foFi the protectionists,
then arose. He declared that the Nc
Kinley tariff act had not only secured
needed revenue, but encouraged new
and protected old American indus
tries He referred to the marked de-
cline in revenues since July last and
declared that it was not due to the
Mckinley law, but to demoraliza ton
caused by fear of impending radical
reductions in duties. He held that if
the election of 1892 had resulted diff
ferently there would have been pros
perity to-day. He then launched
forth into a general answer to Demo
cratic attacks on the Mckinley law
which he lauded in every way.
Mr.. Burrows compared the Demo
cratic platform of 1892 to the South
Carolina ordinance of notification
and argued at length in favor of the
constitutfonality of protective-ta tariff.
He declared the present bill bold
step in the direction of free trade-a
step which would certainly lead to
individual disaster and national bank

THE RAILROAD BOARD UPHELD

SyInns Grocery and Union Terminal De-
cisiOns by the Kansas Supreme Court.
Topeka, Kan, Jan. 9.-The state SUI
preme court rendered several opinions
Of general interest to-day. Among
them the most important was the de-
cisIon in the Symns grocery case.
This denies the right of a shipper to
enjoin the state board of railroad COM
missioners but it does not pass upon
the question of the reasona bleness of
the rates complained of.
The old board of railroad commits
sioners reduced the rates on car load
lots of beans, sugar, coffee and canned
goods to interior points, but not on
less than car load lots and ordered that
they go into effect March 16, 1892. The
Symns Grocer company secured an
injunction from the district court of
Atchison county on the ground that
the order Disseminated against ship
pers of less than car load lots. The
Santa Fe appealed to the supreme
court and filed a cross petition dis
claiming any interest except to know
what was required of the railroads by
law.
supreme court dissolves the injunction,
but does not pass upon the merits of
the case, giving only as the reason
for it's decision that the Terminal
company's action was against the
board alone; that it should have in
cluded also as parties defendant the
Union Pacific and the Missouri Pacific
railroads, which are the real parties
interested.
After the decision was announced
the attorney for the Terminal COM
pany fled a motion for rehearing,
and pending that the injunction was
continued in force

Oklahoma School Sections May he Leased
States May Profit by Indian Sales.
WASHINGTON, Jan. IO.-The commit
tee on public lands of the house has
reported favorably on the bill for
leasing those tracts in Oklahoma ter
ritory which were reserved from pub
lie settlement for university, agricul-
tura1 college and school purposes.
The rental of the reservations are to
be applied to the use of universities,
schools, etc.
The same committee reported fav-
orally on the bill extending for one
year the time in which proofs and
payments may be made on lands To-
Gated under the homestead and desert
land law.
The committee also reported in
favor of the bill providing for gen.
eral adjustment OF swamp land
grants. At the recommendation of
the secretary of the interior the COM
mlttee favor the limitation of the to-
tai sum to be paid to the states on
these claims to 81, 900. If the
claims exceed that amount, they are
to be paid pro rata among the stat es
up to 500, 900,
The senate committee on public
lands had agreed to consider bill in
troduced by Senator Pettigrew of
South Dakota, providing that the gov
eminent shall pay to the several states
five per cent of the proceeds received
from the sale of all Indian reserva-
tons in the several states. It will
take about 81, 900, 600 to pay for these
lands already sold.

a Boon to Humanity.

A, number of our great and most in
veterate tobacco smokers and chewers
have quit the Jlse of the filthy weed.
The talismanic article that does the
work is No-to-bac. The reform was
started by Aaron Gerber, who was q
confirmed slave for many years to the
use of tobacco. He tried the use of
No-to-b ac, and to his great surprise
and delight it cured him. Hon. c. w.
Ashcom, who had been smoking for
sixty years, tried NO-to-bac, and it
cured him. Col. Samuel Stoutener,
who would eat up tobacco like a cow
eats hay, tried this wonderful remedy,
and even Samuel, after all his years Of
slavery, lost the desire. j. G. Cobler,
Leasing Evans Frank Dell, George b.
May, G. o. Sl1illington, Hanson Robi-
nett, Frank Hershberger, John Shinn
and others have since tried No-to-bac
and in every case they report, not only
a cure of the tobacco habit, but Won
derful improvement in their general
physical and mental condition, all of
which goes to show that the use of to-
bacco had been injurious to them in
more ways than one,
All of the above gentlemen are so
well pleased with the results that we
do not hesitate to join them in recon
mending it to suffering humanity, as
we nave thoroughly investigated and
are satisfied that No-to-bac does the
work well and is boon to mankind.
The cost is trifiing-a dollar box
and the makers, The Sterling Remedy
company, have so much faith in Motto
bac that they absolutely guarantee
three boxes to cure any case, or refund
money. One box in every instance in
the above, effected a cure, with one or
two exceptions. No-to-bac has won
derful sale upon its merits alone,
throughout the United States, and can
be secured at almost any drug store in
this country or Canada, and it is made

Probably Killed by q To- Year Old Boy.
DODGE CITY, Kan, Jan. 1o.-Soon
after William Kimbal and family,
living sixteen miles southwest, re-
tired Sunday night some one shot
through a window, probably killing
an infant and seriously wounding Mr..
Kimbal.
The report aroused the household,
all of whom gathered at the bed by
the victim, when another shot severe
ly wounded Mrs KimbaI. A Miss
Fairs, relative was hit by some of
the shot, but was fortunately only
slightly injured.
She FASTENED to the barn to get a
horse to alarm the neighborhood,
where she was assaulted by 17-year-
old boy named Joseph ]. Walker. She
escaped from him and reported the
deed. As soon as word came here
Sheriff Beeson started in pursuit of
the supposed assassin and returned
with Joseph Walker, who however,
declares that he did not commit the
crime. No motive is yet developed
for the murderous attack The latest
report is that Mrs. Kimbal cannot re-
cover and that her husband is in
critical condition.
