TilIrnan Has His Tnrn

The campaign meeting at Lancaster

by some excitement. although it was
not as lively as had been expected. in
view of Wednesdays occurrence at
Chester. The gubernatorial and Con.

regret that he had been compelled 10

When Governor Tillman was called
he was received with much cheering.
He said in beginning that office had not
been sweet to him, and that The wheels
of State had dragged along stumpv
road, and that the records would show
he had done more work than all the
governors since the war. At Chester
he had not opened his mouth in reply
to the indignities heaped upon him by
General Butler, which were fouler and
blacker than had been made by any
man.
Yancey Sheryard, who was out in
the crowd, cried ont You took them

Tile policy of Pension Commissioners
Tanner and Raum was to get lid of the

nv that it was eminently successful.

contrary, has been to reduce expenses

patible with justice OF the sum APP
Iropriated by Congress for pensions,
though fifteen million less than the
estimate OF Commissioner Raum, Com
missioner Lochran will, next week, re,
turn TO the Treasury no less than TWEEN

thousands of fraudulent pensions are
still being paid.

Tilr Thrift Bill.

In the Senate yesterday two votes
were taken on amendments TO the in
come taX-one on Mr.. Aliens motion
to limit the operation OF the tax TO
June /, 1898, the other, by Mr. Pefler,
to establish graduated income tax,
and both propositions were defeated.
The date was fixed as proposed in the
finance committee amendments, retain
ing the income tax until January |,
1900. The sensational feature of the
day was the personal attack made up
on Mr.. Allen, the Nebraska populist,
by Senator Chandler, of New Hamp-
shire. The latter scored Mr.. Allen for
applying the epithet "baboon" to him
Wednesday.
Mr.. Chandler deliberately repeated
his charge of Wednesday that Mr.
Allen was bartering his vote for con-
cessions from the democrats. Mr. Allen
listened attentively and then replied ::
"When the Senator from New Hamp-
shire makes that statement, he states
deliberately and wilfully what he
knows absolutely to be untrue. His
statement is untrue, and it is ungentle-
manly. | say this as plainly as can
here, and if were where | could speak
more plainly than this, / would say
that his statement is deliberately false
in even palmer language than | use
now"
The Senate chamber was crowded
with Senators who had hurried in when
Mr. Chandler had arisen, expecting an
exciting scene, but entirely unprepared
for such language as this. After re-
peating his answer Of Wednesday that
his vote was none Of Mr.. Chambers
business, Mr.. Allen again characterized
Mr.. Chandeliers charge as "a low and
dirty insinuation."
Every every eye was turned on MIR.
Chandler and every Senator expected q
retort. Instead, Mr. Chandler merely
replied in a tone of contempt: "The re-
marks of the Senator from Nebraska
simply show that he does not ccmpre-
bend the courtesies that characterize
debate in this body"
Reports of the sugar trust investigat-
ing committee were presented, but Mr..
Hill objected to their reception and the
question as to whether they would be
received was left hanging at adjourn
ment.
The adoption of the income tax is in
sured by the action of western republic
can Senators, who voted for the com
promise amendment limiting the time
the tax is to run to five years.

AT a conference of people interested
in the development of the South, held
in New York yesterday, resolutions
were adopted favoring permanent ex
position at Washington of the products
of all the States, and also the proposed
Baltimore and Atlanta expeditions.
Such shows will attract visitors, but
will DO little toward attracting immi-
grafton to the South. But the South
has cause TO thank her stars that she
has been exempted from such immigra-
ton as has overrun the North.

Exciting Chase of Criminals.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June 22.-Sherii
Dunn is in hot pursuit OF the four men
who escaped from the Milwaukee Jail
last week. The fugitives are in yacht
and the sheriff and party have tug
boat. 1t is believed if the yacht is over
taken they will give battle. One ofthe
men has record of killing three men.
The yacht, when last seen was running
eight miles an hour, and as the tug can
not steam more than ten, the chances
are even that the fugitives will reach
the Michigan shore before the sheriff
and his posse.

FRIDAY EVENING JUNE %, 1894

IIDURING TIE year closing on the 30th
inst, the falling off in the immigration
at New York was no less than sixty
five per cent, and besides, thousands OF
immigrants during the year have re-
turned to their foreign homes, where,
though wages are slightly lower, work
is more plentiful and living cheaper.
The separate countries of the world
have become TOO close together TO per-
nit the long existence Of any great diff
ference in the condition of their respec-
tive people. Men and money alike can
now 90 where they are most needed,
and so the equilibrium is pretty well
maintained. The law of supply
and demand, unlike the law of Con
aress, is unchangeable.

GOVERNOR TILLMAN said at Lancas-
ter, S. c., yesterday, she did not reply
to the insult offered him by Senator
Butler in Chester the day before, be-
cause, as Governor of the State,
he could not afford to make row
at public gathering and have our peo-
pile murder each other like dogs" But
in the very next breath he called an op-
ponont among his audience a "cowardly
hound" This shows that he either
"knew his man." or else was not sim
cere, for nothing was better calculated
to create row and provoke murder
than the personal application of the
term referred to in an excited political
meeting.

KICKED OUT OF DANGER.-A thrill
ing experience was that of Engineer
Grason and Fireman Nelson, on the
Central Division Railroad pay-train
which passed through Rising Sun,
Cecil county, Nd, a few days ago.
Below Rising Sun the railroad runs
through Krausse's cut, near the home of
David NIahcr. His two-year-old son
was on the track the day the pay-train
came along, and was bewildered when
the engineer gave the warning signal.
The child continued on the track, the
train running so fast that to stop it in
time and avoid fatality was impossible.
Fireman Nelson sprang through the
lookout window, ran along the foot
board, and, swinging from the pilot
table, kicked the child in the forehead
and knocked it into the ditch along the
track. The train was stopped, and the
crew went back and carried the limp
form into its home. The grandmother
met them and tainted at the sight of
the little one, motionless and in strange
arms On the return trip the train
stopped, and the little fellow was
found playing in the yard. On his
forehead was the mark of the lireman's
shoe, made when he kicked him over
and saved his life.

Never before in the history Of the
town has there been such an epidemic
of gastric fever, dysentery and iyphoh
fever in the early summer months sai
the present. That there is a local poat
of infection there can be no doubt any
more than that the water supply Is ibe
general vehicle of such infection, IN
analysis of the water should be maie
at once, and if found at fault refne!iea.
The water supply of a city can never
be pure as long as there is surface
