The Land of Promise.

Is the mighty West, the land that
"tickled with hoe laughs a har-
vest" the El Dorado of the miner;
the goal of the agricultural emf
grant. While it teens with all the
elements of wealth and prosperity,
some of the fairest and most fruit
full portions Of it bear a harvest of
malaria reaped in its fullness by
those unprotected by a medicinal
safeguard. No one seeking or
dwelling in a malarial locality is
safe from the scourge without Hos
letters Stomache Bitters. Emf
grants bear this in mind. CONNER
cial travellers soiourning in malar-
ious regions should carry a bottle
of the Bitters in the traditional
gripsack Against the effects of
exposure, mental or bodily overwork
damp and unwholesome food or
water, it is an infallible defense.
Constipation, rheumatism. bilious
ness, dyspepsia, nervousness and
loss of strength are all remedied by
this genial restorative.

THE TARIFF BILL.
Senate Finance Committee at Last
Reports the New Tariff Bill,

Washington dispatches of yester-
day. contain the long and early
awaited intelligence of final action,
on the part of the Democratic mem
bers of the Senate Finance commit
tee, on the Wilson Tariff bill, an
nouncing that said members of the
committee have completed consid-
GRAFTON of the measure and, in its
completed form, submitted same to
the full committee, Democratic and
Republican, for final consideration
and action.
The most important change
made by the bill is in the sugar
schedule, a change being made by
which an additional duty of 1-8 of
one cent per pound is given on all
sugars testing above 81 degrees
by the polariscope test, or which
are above Is Dutch standard in col
or.
The provisions abrogating the
Hawaiian reciprocity treaty are
struck from the revised bill and a
specific declaration is inserted re-
pealing the reciprocity treaties
negotiated under the Mckinley
act.
A few other changes were made
in the revised bill from the bill as
agreed upon by the sub-commit-
tee.
Tin plate, terne plate and tag
gers tin l cent per pound, instead
of 1 1-5c, as in the Wilson bill, the
Senate subcommittee not hav-
ing before changed from the Will
SON
In this paragraph the Wilson bill
proposition that the rates shall take
effect October |, 1894, is restored
cast iron pipe of every description
22 1-2 per cent ad valorem instead
of Is per cent in the Wilson bill
and 20 per cent in the Senate sub
committee bill; Cross-cut saws,
mill-pit and drag saws 10 per cent
ad valorem, instead of 25 per cent,
the Wilson bill rate; aluminium in
crude form Is per cent advalorem
instead of 25 per cent, the Wilson
bill rate. The lead and lead ore
duties are left unchanged from
the Senate subcommittee rates
as are the iron ore and coal du-
ties.
In the internal revenue schedule
the Committee strikes out the pro-
vision which the Senate sub-com-
mittee inserted first taxing cigars
and cigarettes weighing more than
three pounds $5 per 1000 and Gig
arettes in paper, weighing not more
than three pounds 81 per 1000 and
wrapped in tobacco 80 cents per L.
900, thus leaving the taxes on these
unchanged from the present
law The provision In the income
tax amendment relating to tax on
building and loan association which
was exempted by the House and
stricken out when the Senate sub
committee reported the bill, has
been restored with the proviso that
the tax shall not be levied upon
those institutions which make no
loans except to shareholders for the
purpose of enabling them to build
homes.

ARD-BRECKINRIDGE
What The Defense Expects to Prove
by Mrs Blackburn's Cross
Examination.

EXamlnaVl0n,
The disclosures made of the line
of defense, in the ollard-Breckin-
ridge breach of promise case, which
the attorneys of Col. Breckenridge
will adopt in regard to the testimo-
ny of Mrs. Blackburn, gives greatly
increased interest to many points
of that ladys evidence, given under
cross examination, which at the
time seemed to have no particular
bearing upon the case. Even the
court seemed to share in this opin-
ion and at one part of the proceed
ings when Phil Thompson, Col.
Breckinridges leading counsel, was
questioning Mrs. Blackburn in re-
gard to the acquaintance of Dud-
ley Warner andthe plaintiff and Mr..
Calderon Carlisle for the plaintiff
objected, Justice Bradley remarked,
II have been surprised that this ex-
animation had gone so far as it has
because it is utterly immater-
ial."
But its connection with what has
been considered a vital point in the
case of the plaintiff becomes appar-
ent in the light of the revelation of
the defense; The peculiar point
where this objection was raised was
that Mrs Blackburn said that Mr..
Breckenridge called upon her
as he said, at the request of Miss
Pollard, to remove an aunfavorable
impression which had been made
upon Mrs, Blackburns mind by a
statement of Mrs. Fillette that
"Miss Pollard was forward, taking
undue liberties in the houses of her
friends, having invited Chas. Dud-
ley Warner to her (Mrs. Fillette's) |
house without permission.
Other portions of the cross ex-
animation also became intelligible |
now. Col. Breckinridges counse
elected from Mrs. Blackburn that |
she had become acquainted with
Miss Pollard two years previous to
the now famous Good Friday inter
view in March, 1893 having been
introduced by Mrs. Fillette.
To a further question Mrs. Black
burn said: II extended to her the |
same protection that / would to any |
young woman alone in the city from |
my own state, Kentucky. There
was only such friendship as would |
only exist between woman of my
age and young girl like her"
Miss Pollard called freqently. |
Mrs. Blackburn said, and whenMrs. |
Wilson objected to a question from
Mr.. Thompson as to whether Miss
Pollard had assisted at her recep-
tion, Mrs. Blackburn interposed
ut makes no difference, and added
that she had on one occasion ad-
dressed the invitations for her. In
cross examination it was also elicit
ed that Mrs. Blackburn had gone to
New York and invested some mon
ey in stock speculations with man
whom Miss Pollard told her had
some money for her, all this occur
ing before the Good Friday inter
view.
1t is of course expected that the
defense will elaborate on these
points and will probably question
Miss Pollard upon them when she
takes the stand again tomorrow
for further cross-examination.

ton. The quotation above shows that
the country as a whole Ii very little In

Germ the people OF the United States gen.

NO BASIS OF TRUTH
The assumption of the Times that
this "nest'-Virginia, West Virginia. and
MISUNDERSTANDING been arbitrarily de-
prived Of their market, can "sell the
coal tlStNBttt, VIC Ah1i~s~''N.-S s'O'
are that they would be able even TO ex-
port it," has 10 basis of truth. The SEN
ators named and the entire delegation OF
Virginia congressman know that this
volume OF coal cannot be sold elsewhere;
that the West Virginia coal-feld Is
hemmed in by other fields In a manner
which precludes any disposition OF coal
In other markets. They know there Is
no foreign market available; there Is not
country within reach that uses coal In
great quantity, and there Is none that
needs more coal than 1t is now getting
from u.s. Free coal means irreparable
injury to Virginia interests with no al
tentative or possibility Of resulting bene-
fit to our people; and the whole amount
of coal involved bears such a small pro-
portion to the coal-consumption OF the
entire country that Il ere can be no APP
probable effect in lessening the cost Of
manufactured articles.
without going beyond the scope OF the
above extract from the Times, II will be
seen that there are sufficient reasons for
our senator's to make the efforts which
attract the attention OF that paper. They
show that there is no occasion for i'm
agining that or senators must be Inter
ested more or less directly in the mines
and railroads"

You have not heard from this ancient

the fact that we are much interested in
oysters The legislative session is nearly
at an end, and we have kept an eye on
its proceedings. and as they have done

We had hoped they would continue, but
we see that they have tackled the vexa-
tious oyster question. Now, Mr.. Editor.
/ am personally interested in all things
touching that qeustion, and have can
vassed it among the tongmen, and we
all agree that the law az 1t now stands
is the best we ever had. and We beg the
Legislature not to add one day to the
season.
All we think needed is to enforce the
Gull law. This may be done by Increasing
the number OF inspectors. We think our
lawmakers had better give the road
law and dog question their early atten-
ton. We mol both.
