HOT SHOT FROM JOHNSON IS
SPEECH.

If you meet dem ocrat these days
and want to see him writhe, just qui-
city ask him if he has read Johnson's
speech. He may ask you, who is
Johnson? assuming an Indifferent air.
Very quietly inform him that Johnson
is a democratic member Of the present
House Of Represe ntatives, from the
great state OF Ohio, bright man, a
we'll informed man, man very ready
and apt in the use Of clear, clean and
expressive language, a man Of honest
convictions, who desires that his par
ty should be honest and keep their
promises sacredly. In the House, re-
Gently, the Wilson bill under discus
sion, Mr.. Johnson began by saying:
owe of the democratic party went
before the country in 1892, asserting
that the existing tariff was wrong IN
principle and unjust in operation, de-
claring the policy of protection fraud
and robbery, charging it with Great
ing trusts, sitting commerce, throt-
thing industry, causing enforced idle
ness, lessening wages, impoverishing
labor and creating a few monstrous
fortunes and pledging ourselves to
abolish it if the American people gave
us authority. They did give us au
thority, and then our haste to repeal
oppressive taxes subsidized, and in
stead of flying at the throat of pro-
tected barons and robber trusts the
great democratic party began, as it
were, to wag it's tail and look for
! crumbs.
The House has stood paralyzed be-
| cause, despite our overwhelming ma
iority, we democrats would neither
furnish a quorum to be counted nor
count the one that was really present.
But at last the committee has been
heard from. They have given us
democratic report and republican
bill.
1t was the duty of party coming
into power on such pledges and at
such a conjuncture to have proceeded
without moments delay to the radi-
cal revision Of the tariff.
I am disguised and dismayed that 1T
is presented by a democratic House,
as representing their idea Of what the
democratic party, with all branches of
| the government in it's hands, prOpos-
es to do for suffering people.
Proposed by democratic ways and
means committee to a democratic
House as represent the idea of an
administration elected on a platform
declaring protection an unconstitu-
tional fraud and robbery, the bill is an
evasion Of promise and political
blunder of the gravest kinda con-
| fession that the democratic party
lacks courage and honesty. It will
not satisfy protectionists; it will not
satisfy free Traders

Washington News.

No further steps will be taken by
President Cleveland or Secretary
Gresham to carry out the policy of
restoring Queen Liliuokalani of Ha-
wall. Secretary Gresham said Jan. 10
that the settlement Of the whole Ha-
waiian question was in the hands of
Congress. All documents, reports
and other communications received
by the state department from Mr.
as they have been mailed to the min
lister.

SIS, 432, 401. This does not take into
account Sc, 223, 3O1 paid on account of
interest. The figures given show the
gold reserve to be the lowest ever
reached. 1t is believed at the treasury
department, however, the heavy pay
ments always due at the first of the
month being out of the way, that the
gold reserve will not be diminished
much further, and that the end of
January will find the net balance not
much below $50, 900.
Secretary Carlisle will issue no
bonds unless authorized by Congress.
Senate finance recently. The question
of coming seigniorage was discussed
recently. The secretary said that the
$50, 900, 900 which that would furnish
would not be scfficient to meet the
treasury requirements and that addi-
tional legislation would be necessary.
The income tax bill will, it is said,
be reported to the House as sepa
rate measure, wholly distinct and
apart from the tariff bill. It was Mr..
Wilson'S original purpose to offer the
bill as an amendment to the tariff bill.
The opposition to the income tax is
so strong, however, that it is likely to
imperil the passage of the tariff bill if
it be made part of that measure. 1t
is for this reason that it will be re-
ported separately, so that each meas
ure may be Judged on it's own merits.
Congress man Haines, democratic
representative from the 18th New
York district (Rensselaer and Column
bian cOunties) presented to the House
on the evening Of Jan. 10 mammoth
and unique protest against the collar
and cuff schedule of the Wilson bill.
The petition was signed by 69,S19 per-
sons, without respect to party affilia-
ton, and was contained in gigantic
volumn measuring about forty by two
and half by two feet, and required
the services of eight men to bring it
into the House.

A RECORD BREAKING YEAR.

1t is putting it mildly to say thai
the past year has been a remarkable
one for sporting events. Record af-
ter record has been broken, and many
interesting contests of all kinds have
taken place.
In bicycling, especially great things
have been done. All the standard
records against time except those for
rs and 100 miles were beaten during
1883. Perhaps the most remarkable
achievement in this line was that of
T.. s. Meintjes of South Africa, who
by his marvellous wheeling in this
country secured the record from to
SO miles inclusive. Zimmerman, Win
die and others also made wonderful
records, some of them unbeaten.
Ia general athletics, M. F. Sweeney,
of the Xavier Athletic Club of New
York, made a new indoor worlds
record for running a high jump, the
height reached being 6 feet inches.
A new distance pole vaulting worlds
record was established by Clinton
Morse of the University Of California
the space covered being 26 feet 5 SIS
inches. T. Connect, of the Holy Cross
Athletic Club Of New York, broke the
worlds record for the mile run, his
time being minutes II 45 seconds.
e. B. BlOss made a new worlds record
at Worcester in the hop, step and
jump, his score being 48 feet "a in.
G.. w. Stage of Cleveland, Ohio, is no
slow coach, for he lowered the worlds
record for the 100 yards dash to 9 As
seconds.
In horse racing, Directum made a
new stallion record by trotting mile
in 1861. On the same day and track
Pascal made new 5mile record of
1916. Roy Wilkes broke the worlds
stallion pacing record, making a mile
in 2.06I.
In skating, j. S. Johnson broke the
mile record by making the distance
in the remarkably short time of 2
minutes IS 35 seconds. Mr. Johnson
also made new s. mile skating record
of Is minutes 2O:45 seconds. Frank
Looney of Lowell broke the worlds |
record for jumping on the ice, his dis
lance being Is feet inch. The United |
States cruiser New York covered her
self with glory and broke the worlds
record for armored vessels by sailing,
on her official trial, an average of
over 81 knots an hour on course of
nearly 100 miles. The Cunard steam
ship Campania surpassed all trans
atlantic records by making the run
from New York to Queenstown in
days, II hours and 81 minutes. Joseph
INITIAL made new worlds record for
swim ming a mile in open water, his
line being rs minutes and seconds.
These are only a few of the many
lew records made during the record
)reakin year of 1898.

gard to what the public thinks Of some
of the proposed legislation by the
present congress.
Of all the izzles that alleged demo
cratic caucus on the tariff was about
the worst seen in Washington. In
the first place enough democrats stay
ed away to control the House with the
help of the solid republican vote, even
if the caucus had really intended to
get down to business, which it did not.
Speaker Crisp's resolution which was
adopted amounted to exactly nothing,
and that was what it was intended to
amount to. Chairman Wilson did not
dare to offer a resolution endorsing
the Cleveland tariff bill, fearing that
it would be voted down. The speech
made by Speaker Crisp was peculiar
one. While pretending to favor Mr..
Cleveland and his tariff bill he pecif-
ically encouraged the dissatisfied dem
ocrats and invited them to state their
objections on the floor Of the House,
and then to vote against the bill ii
those objections could rot be over
come. The dissatisfied democrats ap-
pear to think that breaking a quorum
is a much better way to bring about
what they want.

VERMONT CUSTOMS HOUSES.
Result of the Annual Inspection of the
District

The annual examination of the Gus
toms business of the customs collec-
ton district of Vermont this year was
made by Special Treasury Agents
Martin and Stokes. Burlington, the
port of entry, is situated on Lake
Champlain forty miles from the Cana
dian border. Next in Importance is
IT. Adams, a SUPPORT about fifteen
miles from the Canadian line. There
were collected at this port during the
last fiscal year S20s, OS2. Richford
receipts were over 100000. This
station is located directly on the bor-
der and nearly all returning Chinese
enteI through il. Derby Line is
built on both sides of the border line
and is the scene of much petty snug
CLING, which the officers are unable
wholly to prevent. MANY of the
stores are so located as to have one
end in the United States and the other
in Canada. Officers of the district
are stationed at Montreal. Toronto
and Halifax. At Montreal there arr
seven officers in charge of deputy
collector. Their duties consist in the
examination of baggage of passengers
entering the United States and seaiing
baggage in transit through Canada
Similar service is performed by tbrae
officers at Toronto and one at Halifax |
and Quebec. During the wear Coz /
Chinese were applicants for admission !
into the United States. OF this num-
Der, GAG were admitted. The accents
were satisfied that more rigid ana |
thorough Investigation might have re-
suited IN the exclusion of some of the
Chinese admitted, still no evidence
was found of the existence of anv |
fraudulent practices.
