Washington Notes.

On Thursday the debate in the Senate,
on the tariff bill was continued. Quay OBJ
jecting to the debate being limited, but
the only thing done during the day was to
fix the rate on oatmeal at Is per cent.
There was good deal of temper shown
in the Senate during Fridays tariff debate.
Senator Harris was unusually crusty and
irascible. During speech of Senator Gull
l,m, the hot-headed old Tennesseean got
up and charged the former with filibuster-
ing and delay. This made Mr.. Cullom
very angry, and he retorted.
eff you will move to lay your internal
tariff bill on the table, will agree to take
a vote now"
Mr.. Ferrell of Cleveland, q member of
the Sugar Trust, was before the investi-
eating committee, that day, but what his
evidence was is not known as the lnvestig-
alton is secret. 1t is not at all likely that
the "colored person in this sugar barrer
will be discovered by the committee.
Monday, the Republicans had some fun
collars and cuffs schedule. Senator Muir
ply, of New York, was conveniently ab-
sent from the chamber, and did not hear
the sarcastic filings at the schedule which
he had framed. Other Democrats pres
ent seemed to enjoy the performance,
among them Senator Mills, who could
view with complaisance the imposition Of
nearly 100 per cent. duty upon collars and
cuffs as these articles of attire are not
much in demand down in Texas.
| Senator Platt was in an unusually sar-
| castle and facetious mood. His text was
| tariff reform, and the evolutions of that
policy since it went into the House in the
shape of the Wilson bill. He enumerated
| the various surrenders of theories by the
Democrats, and paraphrasing the old saw
about scratching Russian and finding &
Tartar, said, whenever you scartch {
protection amendment you find Demo
crat."
The rapidity with which the cottor
schedule was disposed OF made the "Dis
NAL Dolph," of Oregon, fairly howl will
euvy. He wanted to know how New Eng
lang industries could be taken care o
while those of the Pacific slope were ruin
cd. He learned that, since it is apparen
that the bill is going through the Senate
Republicans are using every endeaYor t
get concessions for their districts. Asss
ted by New England Democrats, Senate
Aldrich and Senator Hoar secured ney
cotton schedule which the former state
was the most technical ever framed
While the rates are lower than in the pres
tnt law, the graduation of the duties
,nlde SO sdvantageously that the schednl
is iaiIly satisfactory.
, On Tuesday, Senator Quay resumed tn
, reading of his great speech, and read fc
three hours.

THE great electric light which was ex-
hibited at the Worlds fair is to be placed
in light house at Sandy Hook. 1t was
tired on Monday night and so intense and
far reaching was the light that places far
down tie Jersey coast were plainly visi-
BILE and it is claimed that it can be thrown
as far as Philadelphia. That light will
probably be useful at Sandy Hook but
where it is needed is at Washington to
throw some light on the sugar schedule
investigation, and by its rays guide the
ship of State off the rocks of Democratic
incompetency and surrender to the sugar
and other trusts. The Republican majori-
ty in the next Congress will furnish the
crew and William Mckinley or Thomas
B. Reed will be the commander.

Sweetness and Light.

Some Congressman, one day in June,
Lined ND in Uncle Sans saloon.
Then spoke U. S. Senator
frWhat are we fellows in here for"
Then said his fellows. "Well, we think
We only tariff for a drink"
And each man smiled upon his mate
"Toddyf" the bar-keep said, ''or
straight"
Then every statesman in the line,
Replied, IA little 'Shug. in mine"
But one. from fsr-off Jerseys shore,
Who stood convenient to the door,
"some 'Shug' in mine" soft whispered
he,
"But mix it unbeknownst to me-"
Then lightly cougted behind his hand,
And ioined the Senatorial band.
Then out they filed, with steps elate,
Scying: ats all upon the Slate"
And laughed until you'd thought they'd
''bust,"
To see the sign hung up. ''No Trust"

The Coal Strike.

Soue years ago, when natural gas was
poured out Of numberless wells in such
quantities that manufacturers used it with
reckless prodigality, hope was entertain
ed that although the supply might cease
the lessons learned in its consumption
would not be lost. These lessons were
not of very advanced kind; they simply
went to show that gaseous fuel was supe-
rior to solid, that it was more manageable,
and gave better products, but no lesson of
economy of fuel was taught. Manufac-
turers went on in their usual way without
q thought for the future.
The last six weeks haye been occupied
with occurrences which, grave in the So
cial aspect, have brought the fuel question
prominently forward in all its crudities.
A strike among coal miners in fourteen
States and two Territories has been in pro-
gress. The central western region, includ-
ed in general way in the quadrangle de-
fined by Chicago, Birmingham. Pittsburg
and St. Louis, is the region most affected.
The coal on hand approaching exhaus-
ton, It's, 1000 men on strike, deeds of vio-
lence of frequent occurrence. the poor in
cities paying three and four times thesusu-
al price for bucket of coal, were features
of the strike that made its seriousness
evident. Large numbers of the miners
are foreigners and of the most excitable
nature, and liable to be carried almost any
distance by their feelings.
The cause of the strike is one which brings
into strong perspective the fuel ques-
ton. The miners desire uniform rate to
be established to be paid them for coal as
mined. This rate is rs cents ton. In
some places the miners have received but
AZ cents q ton in others so cents Their
request seems far from exorbitant 1t is
clear that the price asked by them is but
little for the amount of combustible mat
ter represented by the long ton of coal.
So cheap q rate of extraction would imply
very good condition Of things for the
consumer. But it is not altogether so.
When the miner is paid for the coal
which he has cut from the breast of his
working, the smallest part of the cost of
the coal is provided for. The coal has to
90 through preparation, more or less eI-
pensive, before delivery to the consumer,
and it has to be transported from the mines
to the furnace and factory. All this adds
greatly to its cost. An addition oftwenty-
five cents to the ton would mean far more
at the mine than it would two hundred
miles distant. To the miner it means ar
increase of wages of fifty per cent; to the
distant consumer it would mean an in
crease in price of ten per cent or less.-

THg excuse offered by some large coal
operators FOR the oppression of the miners
is that they want to take care of the con-
sumers of coal. There is nothing so dia-
bolical in the nature of coal consumers in
general that they want the men who en-
gage in the difficult and dangerous pur-
suit of coal mining ground down to the
lowest notch of penury. 1t seems to us
that a general wage system could be
agreed upon by the operators that would
nut an end to wasteful and disssterous
strikes, and be better for all concerned.
Were the enormous waste caused by fierce
competition between the operators, and
the great losses oecassioned by strikes,
devoted to the purpose of making COM
Portable the men engaged in mining coal,
it would certainly be infinitely better for
the operator, the miner, and the consumer.
When there is as much human misery as
the production of coal engenders there is
surely something wrong, which the opera
tors, had they an honest zeal to do so,
could easily get together and correct.-Er.

The Sugar-Cured Congress.

(From the Pittsburg Dispatch
How dear TO onr hearts is our Democratic
Congress
As hopeless inaction presents it TO view;
The bill Of poor Wilson, the deep tangled
tariff,
And every mad pledge that their lunacy
knew.
The widespread depression, the mills they
closed by it.
The rock of free silver where great Grov-
er fell,
They've busted our country. no use to deny
it,
And darn the old party, it's busted as
well.
This G. Cleveland Congress,
This Queen Lilly Congress,
This wild free-trsde Congress
We all love so well.
Their moss covered pledges we no longer
treasure,
For often at noon when ont hunting job
We find that instead of the corn they had
promised,
They've given us nothing-not even a cob.
How ardent we've cussed 'em with lips
overhowing
With sulphurous blessings as great
swear-words fell.
The emhlems of hunger, hte-trade and
free silver,
Are sounding in sorrow the working
mans knell,
This bank-bresking Congress,
This mill-closing Congress.
This starvation Congress
We all love so well.
How sweet from their eloquent lips to re,
ceive it.
"Oursed tariff protection no longer up
hold"
| We listened-and voted our dinner pals
empty,
The factories silent, the furnaces cold.
And now far removed from our lost stu
ations,
The tear of regret doth intrusiyely swell
We yesrn for Republican Administrator
| And sigh for the Congress that served u
| so well
This Fifty-third Congress,
This Democratic Congress,
| This sugar. cured Congress
We wish was in-well.

Chas. Mettler and family came up from
Glade Mills last Saturday, to visit his pa
rents, who live in towr here. The old
folks are always rejoiced to see their chill
dren come.
Jas J. Gibson, being absent about one
month, came home Tuesday evening. He
had been to the Virgi2ia oil region after
work.
Leo. Daily is managing and helping to
put stone foundation under their house.
Their building is a good one, and well
finished, and should have bad stone foun-
dation when first built.
The trustees of the q. P. church meet
on Wednesday afternoon to make arrang-
ments to have their church papered and
refnished in the basement. | suppose to
make it correspond with audience room up
stairs which is nicely finished.
Politics are very quiet here now, some are
taking consolation in the result of next
fall election, the prospects are there will
be grand majority of Republicans in both
Houses after next fall which will perhaps
turn the tide of government.
