In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-After the sem
ate had passed the house resolution for
an investigation into the personnel of the
navy, with au amendment that it be
made by subcommittee of the naval af-
fairs committees of the two houses, in
stead of by special COMMISSION, it took
up Peffer's resolution providing for in
quiiy into the delay in the construction
of public buildings. German replying
to Peffer, said the trouble was that con-
gress made appropriations for more pub
lie buildings within the last few years
than it had been physically possible to
construct. The appropriations of the
government during the past three years
exceeded by over $500, 100000 the total
revenues af the government. Call thought
1t important that all public buildings to
be constructed should be begun as soon
as possible in order to give employment
to the millions of unemployed American
laborers now In actual need and distress.
Senator Dolph dld not think it the duty
of the general government to provide for
the general destituiion. He referred to
the communication of Governor Penney
er, of Oregon, in his Christmas letter to,
the president, declaring the people of his
state were indignant at the governor aud
had adopted resolutions denying his
statements. The resolution was then
adopted.

very few who supported Mr..
Cleveland who do not regret the
act. The depreciation of values,
the distrust of capital and the
financial distress and business failures
of the past season have made Ameri-
cans study the question of economics
as they never did before. Hereafter
the fine-spun theories of free traders
will have no convincing power with
the people; for they will refer to the
hard times that followed the fnaugura

a complete refutation. 1t is easy for
college economists to build plausible
argument in favor of open ports and
reciprocity of trade between all ma

experience before they are considered
safe to follow. The logic Of the pro-

common sense of the wage Garner; but
the facts which the latter have learned

THE INCOME TAX.

The land of Uz can no longer claim

cago Inter Ocean. To be delivered

be sympathized with by job lot of
friends whose balm of Gllead was oil
of vitriol was bad enough, but there
is at least one man in America who is
likely to quite outclass that ancient
man of sorrows.
For a time Congressman Wilson
seemed to be riding serenely upon the
crest of fortunes wave. He was and
is still the pet of this administration.
To that circumstance he owes the
craftsmanship Of the ways and means
committee, position he ardently COW
eted, for it would give him chance to
put his fondly cherished free trade
views into practical form and active
operation. In the committee his will
was law, and all went well But
hardly had his bill got out of quod be-
fore attacks from his own party began
to be showered upon him. Influential
Democrats in his own state served
notice upon him that he could not go
back to congress again, and now he is
hearing Democratic maledictions from
all over the country. Even the Chi
cago Herald, which has sung his
praises so loud and long, has now
turned squarely about aud has joined
the angry pack swapping and barking
at his heels.

Give Him a Chance.

In Yesterdays Telegram sensational
story is published In reference to Lionel R
Stsgge, who was formerly receiver of the
First National bank in this city, and is now
acting as receiver of the Oregon National
bank IN Portland. 1t appears that Stagge.
under the name of A. L. Waterhouse. was
sentenced to the psnitentiarY from Multi
nomah county for one year for forgery. He
was received at the penitentiary Dec. Is,
1889, and released Nov. 20 1890, having
served his term less allowances for good
conduct. Since serving bis term he has &C.
cupled positions of trust and attempted to
redeem his character in the community in
which his only crime was committed, and it
is matter of regret that the knawledge OF
his former offeuse was not buried in forget
fuluess and an opportunity gwen him to
reform. Mr. Stsgge has borne his punish
ment for the offense, and the community
should not completely debar him from
showing that he is now man Of honor and
integrity.

prosperity of the people has been ban
ished to parts unknown, at least mac
cessible, by that bill and the fear of its
enactment, but the Herald is only SOL
icitous for the future of its party.
II has been claiming for year now
that batch of extreme free-trade ed
itorials which appeared In its columns
during 1892 won the presidential
battle of that year, and now Mr.. Will
son has dared to frame his bill with
out following those editorials to their
logical conclusions. The pending bill
is not wholly and remorselesslv hostile
to domestic manufacturers, and that is
unpardonebl If Mr.. Wilson wants
to escape the wrath of the Herald he
must shut his eyes to facts, wipe out
all protection, and concentrate taxes
upon few articles. That is Eng
lish, you know" 1t is enough for the
Herald that In Great Britain five
sixths of the total revenues are de-
prived under only six heads.
The time has gone by when it is
necessary to refute free-trade state
ments about "tariff is tax, "pro-
lection does not protect. and the
like. The people saw fit in 1892 to
make practical test of the matter,
to put events in the way of working
out the problem of political economy,
using the door at which the wolf
holds vigil as a sort of blackboard for
the figures. TIE day of abstraction
has gone by, and so, too, has the time
when the mad vavings of mere theor-
lists have any weight with the people.

Newport, ON the Pend d'Orelll river, TIE
news comes that rancher named Bryan
shot and killed Fl. Thompson, another
rancher, and next day shot himself. Both
deeds were committed on the public
highway Jealousy is the alleged cause.
Last Wednesday Thompson was walking

he met Bryan. Bryan Immediately pulled
his gun and at the first shot killed
Thompson. He left him lying in the road
and went to Newport. The next day he
started back, and when within about 100
yards of his home he pulled his gun and
s.nt a bullet through bis own brain
He dropped dead In the road about two
miles from where he killed Thompson.

The Chicago Fire.

CHICAGO, JAN 9.--The damage to the
manufacturers building by last nights
fire is mostly confined to the south half
of the roof and to the exhibits yet unre-
moved beneath that portion. A space of
500 feet on the east side and $50 feet on
the west side of the roof Is completely
burned away. Beneath this portion
were the French, Belgian and Russian
exhibits, and they suffered the most. It
Is impossible, as yet, to estimate the loss
en- the exhibits, as they are all boxed and
will haye to be unpacked before it can be
known what damage IS done by water to
the textiles and by breakage to ceramics
and other fragile exhibits in the work of
hasty removal. The heaviest loss, how
ever, is In the French section, whose ex-
hibits we're originally worth 100000.
Among the losses ia that section are
bronze statues of war, Sevres china ex.
hibits, Gebelln tapestry exhibits, Dore
bronze vases, costume exhibit and French
publishers exhibits. The loss on the
burned buildings is total, as the insur--
ance had expired. The manufacturers
building cost $1.70O0OO the music hall
100000, the Casino 100000 and the
peristyle $150,000. These figures. how
ever cannot be taken in estimating the
value of the destroyed building, as they
were practically worthless, the cost of
demolition and removing In case of all
except the manufacturers building, being
equal to if not greater than the saleable
value and the value of the manufactur-
erers building, was chiefly confined to
he great steel arches, which, with the |
exception of one mentioned, are still in- |
act, 1t was about three O'Clock this |
before the fire was thoroughly |
lnder control. and fremen continued on
iuty many hours longer, turning streams
lpou the smoking or glowing timbers
lere and there to guard against the possi-
,ility of renewed outbreak.
