SENATOR JARVIS SPEAKS.
HIS MAIDEN ADDRESS IN THE
SENATE CHAMBER.
In Advocacy of the Income Tax-His
Debut Quite Triumphant-A For
chile Speech-Wen Received.

ClDl6 SDeeCn-W w ell H6c01VeO.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator
Jarvis made his first speech in the
cacy of the income tax.
Tall, of commanding presence, with
fine voice and splendid delivery, his
debut was quite triumphant. He
commenced by saying that since the
days of Horace it had been sung in
poetry and told in prose that it is
sweet to die for ones country
Panegyrics had been pronounced on
those who died for their country;
monuments had been erected to them,
and their memory was held sacred;
but he had never yet heard it said or
sung by any body that it was sweet
to be taxed for ones country.
(Laughter.) 1t seemed to be duty
which men felt at liberty to evade, il
possible. Men would go to war at
their cOuntry'S call, and risk and sac
riflce their lives, but when it came to
meeting their duty in the matter of
taxation, they and their property
tion was purely question Of taxa
tiOn. There was certain amount Of
money to be raised for the support of
the national government, and the
question was where and how that
money was to be raised. The Senator
from Ohio (Mr. Sherman) said. put
the burden on sugar, the senators
from New England said put it on
manufactured goods. and the senators
from New York said put on the col
lars and cuffs that the poor people
wear. (Laughter.) His idea was that
in imposing the burdens of taxation
the heaviest portions should be put
upon those best able to bear them, and
The lightest on those ,east able to
bear them.
Referring to Mr.. Hills prediction
that the passage OF an income-tax
would sound the death-knell of the
Democratic party, Mr.. Jarvis said:
of the Democratic party had no
higher mission than to bow at the
footstool and worship at the shrine of
the accumulated wealth Of the coun-
try, the sooner it dies the better"
(Applause in the galleries.) GAS l
understand Democracy, it means
simply to stand with the struggling
people of the country. 1t means,
while 1T protects property, to go into
the highways and byways, to take in
its great arms the laboring people, and
10 lIlU GueIn up lnUO higher anu DeG-
ter life. [, for one, thank God that
the Democratic party is today in the
hands of those who have the courage
to take some of the burdens from the
people and put them on the accumu-
lated wealth Of the country. Instead
of this bills sounding the death-knell,
l believe it is the first step onward to
a higher prosperity and a more glori-
Gus career for the Democratic party.
And If it will only have the courage
to move forward on the lines that
have been selected 1 believe that in
stead Of our Republican friends in
1897 seeing Republican President in
augurated, the standard of Democracy
| will be advanced still higher, and our
banner will again float over the Sem
ate, the House of Representatives and
the White House." applause in the
galleries.)

HISTORICAL BUILDING
Gen. Washington's Room at the Old
Salem Hotel

A movement is on foot looking to
the purchase Of the old Salem hotel
building, still standing, wherein Gen
George Washington spent the night
during his visit to Salem, and con-
verting it into a local museum. In
speaking of the plan the Republican
says:
LAS is we'll known Salem has now
good museum with many interesting
relics and the idea is to tear away the
present hotel building with the excep-
tion of the original structure, pre-
serve the Washington apartment in
tact, fit up other portions for the use
of relics, transfer the present museum,
secure the loan of private heir-looms,
etc, and use every effort to constant
ly increase the supply and lastly, en-
ploy a warden. The management
will be supervised by the Salem, His
torical Society of recent origin, and
also the Young Mems Missionary
Society, of the Moravian church, the
latter for many years, having charge
of the present Salem museum. The
Importance and interest In such an
undertaking needs no comment, and
it is earnestly desired that the latter
effort will be speedily and successfully
realized. -

CALLED TILLMAN A LIAR,
Senator Butler HotIy Resents Charges
of fCurruption.

CHESTER, S. c., June 21.-The can
didates for State and national offices
spoke here yesterday.
Governor Tillman, who is running
for United States Senator, spoke first,
followed by Senator Butler.
Tillman received no applause when
he was introduced, but during his
harangue was cheered to some extent.
lie spoke entirely of what he had
done for the State. He accused Presi-
dent Cleveland and the United States
Senate of corruption, called Senator
Hill over the railroads "Coxeyites, ;"
but did not once touch upon any
national issue. He finished by asking
the people to now give him a nice,
easy place for what he had done, and
he would do much good for them, STIR
ring up things and punching Cleve-
land and the Senate in the side with
pitchfork till they did something
for them.
BUTLER'S HOT REPLY.
Senator Butler followed and raked
Tillman severely. He stated in the
opening, that he intended to go
through the campaign in friendly
way and conduct it on gentlemanly
plane. He and Tillman both uttered
this sentiment at their first speech az
Rock Hill, but yesterday at Yorkville,
Tillman had said, by innuendo, that
he (Butler) had a corruption fund
with which to buy his way into tie
Senate. He said he did not have an
opportunity to reply at Yorkville, and
turning and pointing his finger in
Tillman's face, he said: 81 now brand
him or any other man who, by word
or intimation, says / have a corrup-
tion fund, an Infamous liar"
Tillman's face turned turkey red,
but he swallowed it like little man
who wants to be nice in Sunday-school
and say nothing.
Senator Butler showed up a short
age in Tillman's dispensary reports
OF nineteen Thousand dollars and asked
him frankly if he was using it as a
corruption fund.
HE DEFENDS CLEVELAND.
Senator Butler discussed national
issues plainly and said that while he
could not agree with Mr.. Cleveland on
his financial ideas, he believed him to
be honest in his convictions and was
ready to defend him against vile
slanderers like Gov. Tillman.

SOME IMPROVEMENT.
The Principal Points in Bradstreets
Trade Review

NEW YORK, June 23.-Bradstreet's
today says:
There are indications of moderate
improvement in various lines, and
enough instances to render the fact of
some significance. At the South there
is rather more encouragement in trade
circles at Nashville as to prospects
for fall trade, rains having helped the
crops in that vicinity. and although
business is quiet at Savannah, demand
for naval stores remains active. Some
improvement 10 distribution of meI-
chandise is announced from New
Orleans, particularly hardware, and
Galveston reports business fairly ac-
tive and prospects encouraging. At
Charleston, Memphis, Atlanta, Cnat-
tanooga, Augusta, Birmingham and
Mobile, trade is only fair or dull and
without change. Jacksonville mer-
chants have not as yet felt any unfav-
orable effects of the drouth in Florida.

told several persons Of the affair, but

hours after it occurred.

while they were walking along Two
burly ruff1ans came up and assaulted
them, compelling him to leave. He

THE BLACK DEATH.
The Horrible Disease Affecting China
When it Was Here.


1t is believed in Hong Kong that
the pestilence raging there is the
same disease that ravaged the whole
world about the middle of the four
teenth century under the name of the
Black Death, and which, under the
name of the Plague, scourged Europe
so fearfully again in the year 1865. 1t
was the most fearful scOurge to which
humanity has ever been subjected. In
the fourteenth century it killed b.
100000 people in China, $4,000, 900 in
other Oriental countries and not
less than 25,000,000 in Europe. Ger
many alone had l,244,434 recorded
deaths from this cause. Italy had
quite one-half it's entire population
swept away, and in London, then n
comparatively small city, there were
no less than 100, 900 victims. The di-
sease is directly infectious, spreading
rapidly from every place of its APP
pearance. 1t is attended by fearful
suffering, and is so nearly always
fatal that where it has been epidemic
great numbers of the afflicted have
committed suicide rather than endure
a suffering so sure to end in death
within a week or two.

From the Wilmington Starl
In Mr.. Carroll d. Wright's statiS-
tics of the married and unmarried
people in this country it appeared that
there are 377, 900 more married men
than married women. This puzzled
some people and the editors began
popping questions at Mr.. Wright, and
wanted to know If his figures were
right, and If so, how that thing could
be. Mr.. Wright solves the puzzle by
informing them that there are a good
many foreign immigrants who come
to this country and remain here until
they can earn money enough to send
for their wives and children, il they
have children. This statement some
what restores the marital equilibrium
and relieves the anxio US enquirer.
