Washington, Jan. 16. - Congressman
Been delivered his maiden effort in the
house last evening, occupying an hour of
the time allotted for general debate On
the tariff. Mr.. Boen, however, did not
decate the tariff question, prefacing his
remarks by the statement that he did not
intend to try to convince any one that
protection or free trade was the proper
governmental policy. His speech was for
the farmer, pure and simple, for some
sort of legislation which would give him
an equal show with the manufacturer
under any schemet of revenue or taxa
ton that might be in force. Commenc-
ing with the axiom about ''soil and toii''
being the ultimate sources of all wealth.
Mr.. Boen led his audience along to the
point where he could introduce a bill of
his own as the proper remedy for the
determinations under which the produc-
ing classes are laboring. Mr.. Boen's
bill recognizes the ancient system of
barter which he contends must be re-
versed to meet the continued contraction
OF the currency. 1t provides very briefly
that manufactured articles coming to this
country in exchange for farm products
shall be admitted free of all charge for
duty save such as will create revenue
large enough to meet the actual expenses
caused by his system of exchange. If
this law were enacted, he argued, the
farmers of his section could combine and
fill their little warehouse at Wall Lake
with wheat. This they would ship to
Liverpool in exchange for an equal value
in manufactured articles, and, since un-
der the law, wheat could be exchanged
for steel rails duty free, he thinks the
railroads might take wheat for their
freight charges, so that the only money
of account which would be necessary
would be enough to pay the insurance.
With such law as this the Minnesota
POpulist would not care how high or
how thick the Chinese wall of protection
might be, for the farmers would have
this convenient breach.
The consideration of the tariff bill
under the five-minute rule was begun
to-day. Only three amendments were
disposed of, none of material moment.
The attempt of Messrs. De Forest and
Sperry Oems. Conn., to secure the adop-
tion of an amendment increasing the
duty on sumatra cigar wrappers to. the
present rates was defeated. The debate
concluded with a brilliant tilt between
Mr.. Cochran and Mr.. Reed.
In the executive session of the senate
Senator Hill opened the fight against the
confirmation of Hornblower for associate
judge of the supreme court, and Senator
Villas of Wisconsin, the only Democratic
men Der of the judiciary committee who
supported Mr.. Hornblower in the COM
mittee room, made a strong appeal for
confirmation. After a lengthy discussion
Hornblower's nomination was rejected
by a majority of 6.

Washington, Jan. 11.-At the concI l.
sion of routine business in the sen tie
Senator Davis took the floor and began
his speech on the Hawaiian question
Soon after he commenced speaking nearly
every senator on both sides of the cha.
be was in his seat. Congressman Keifer,
Fletcher, Tawney and Boen were ON the
floor of the senate. Senator Davis speech
is the first that has been heard from the
committee on foreign affairs since the
passage of the resolution of inquiry on
Dec. IA. The resolution on Senator Da-
Wis motion was taken from the table.
Until the accession of the present ad-
ministration to power" the senator said,
1.-The present provisional government Of
Hawaii has been recognized by every
civilized nation on the globe. A treaty
has been consummated and concluded be-
tween the United States and Hawaii
with all the dignity and solemnity that
cbaracterizes such acton between civil
lied governments and nations. During all
the history of our country the distin-
gGished men wEo have occupied the posi-
ti0n of secretary of state have manifested
no uncertain attitude toward the acQui-
sition of Hawaii by annexation" Secre-

due to financial difficulties that negotia-
tons were not completed. The Island of
Hawaii has been for many years subject
to Internal unrest, which finally culmi-
mated in January, 1893, by the exercise
of the most sacred right of revolution.
American influences, American wealth,
enterprise, civilization and Christianity
had worked social and Industrial revolu-
ton in Hawaii long before Commissioner
Blount was sent on his mission of inves-
tigation." Senator Davis said he would
not impugn the motives of any man, but
he maintained that, taking the testimony
which formed the basis of Blount's re-
port, that peculiar document cannot be
sustained. On the contrary, the action
of Minister Stevens and the acts of the
last administration, in view of all sur
rounding circumstances, had been fully
justified. His presentation of the case
was a strong argument in maintenance
| OF the annexation treaty negotiated by
Harrison's administration.
In the house Mr.. johnson of Ohio, the
well-known free trader, denounced the
Wilson bill, as also did Mr. Dalzell, a
Republican.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Hawaiian
| ccLu uoversy cons med almost the whole
| time in the senate. Senator Davis of
MiEresota concluded his speech in oppo-
sition to the policy of the present ad-
ministration, and was particularly en-
| phatic in his opposition to the act of the
president in commissioning Mr.. Blount
| 10 Hawaii and clothing him with plenary
| powers, even to the extent of control of
| the naval forces, without such an ap-
pointment having been confirmed by the
| senate. The defense with which he pa
| raded to the senate the spectacle of the
| opera bouffe queen clamoring for her
| lost throne was too much for the grave
and venerable senate and the galleries
| gave expression to its appreciation by
| applause so hearty that it required the
usual threat of the presiding officer to
clear the galleries to still the enthusiasm.
| Mr.. Davis inquired by what authority
| the president of the United States de-
rived the power to arbitrate this question.
Who conferred such authority upon him?
| Who made him the conservator, the pro-
tector, the defender of the kingdom?
| Senator Davis in concluding, said:
This is a great question, great in its
| facts, great in it's Importance and great
can people will judge this question, they
are adjudicating it now in the midst of
distress, which the panacea of legislative
action has not cured; with the mills shut,
the wheels idle; the factory sending up
neither pillar of cloud by day, nor pillar
of fire by night; with hunger and cold in
! thousands of homes, and over all tn
fear of the relentless of policy in fiscal
administration tending to deepen all the
distress with deeper ebony. The Ameri-
can people have cause to decide this ques-
ton, and they will decide it in the sub
lime tribunal of the national judgment"
Save for a recess of two. hours there
was an uninterrupted flow of tariff ora
| tory in the house. Interest in the debate
is beginning to flag little. The principal
speeches were those of Mr.. Breckenridge
of Kentucky. Mr.. Springer of Illinois,
Mr. nipplov nf Moipa and Mr. Hartpr of

Washington, Jan. 13.-The advocates
= of the income tax and the internal reve-
nue. features of the tariff suffered an un-
expected rev erse at the meeting of the
Democratic members of the ways and
means committee. Instead of indorsing
the bill as drawn by the subcommittee
it was yoted-6 to 5-to reconsider the
entire determination reached at the treas
ury department some time ago. Mr..
Bynum of Indiana made the motion to
reconsider. and it was his vote which
was decisive in securing the change.
Mr.. Tarsney followed with q motion to
refer the entire subject to Democratic
caucus of the house, and this also car
ried by a vote of q to 5.
The opposition to repeating the tax on
state banks scored victory in the COM
mittee on banking and currency. The
friends Of the bill have been aonhdent
that the protracted committee struggle
would end by a favorable report, but
Representative johnson (Rep. 1nd.) exc
cuted a flank movement by moving to
er slider the previous question. Mr.. john
sons motion carried on a viva voce vote.
He at once followed this up by moving
that the entire question be put aside
until after the tariff debate closed. This
algo carried, and the meeting summarily
ended with the state bank men in the
minority. - ------------------ -

Washington, Jan. 15.-The real work
on the tariff bill commenced to-day, when
the bill was read by sections and is now
open to amendment under the five-minute
rule. From now on the bill will be in
cor Estant danger of amendment and the
house Democratic leaders have urged
UpoD all their colleagues the absolute
necessity of their continued presence un-
til the final vote is taken. The com
n.;ttee amendments necessary to correct
inperfections discovered in the bill will,
according to the rule of parliamentary
procedure, have the right of way. The
amendments which the committee offer
are considered pending and take pre-
Cedence over amendments offered by in
dividual members. The bill was first
read by sections under the special or
der and is now open to amendment in
any part. The Democratic members of
the ways and means committee had a
meeting yesterday afternoon to decide
upon the amendments to be offered. 1t
will probably happen, as in the case of
the Mckinley bill, that the special order
will expire with many individual amend
ments pending but not voted upon. The
decision of the Democratic members Of
the committee TO report the income tax
and other internal revenue features of
the committees revenue plan as sepa-
rate measure removes one of the main
dangers to the bill, as the opposition to
the income tax feature was formidable
especially in the East, and some of it
was of such a character that had the
proposition been placed in the bill it
would have arrayed many Democratic
members against the whole measure. The
fact that the proposition is not included
in the bill will, it is thought, strengthen
the attempt to remove the sugar bounty
and substitute in its stead a duty of 1
cent on sugar. Should this be done, it
would raise $35,OOO,OOO of revenue and
save $1O,0OO,OOO of sugar bounty and re-
move the necessity for and probably kill
the income tax proposition which it is
now the purpose of the committee to
present later with the internal revenue
bill. 1t is not believed that the attempts
to restore portion of the duty on coal,
iron ore, lumber and other raw materials
placed on the free list in the bill will
be successful.

Performances Or r. Gang Of Free Levers on
Chinootcaeuc 1slnnd.
There a q gang of free lovers on Chine
colleague island that has greatly demor-
allied tho people and caused no end Of
trouble. One man, Thomas Bowdon,
has recently beon killed, aud more trou-
bic is expected Joo Lynch Is the leader
OF the gang and many of the ignorant
peoplo have bs,omo his followers It is
said that Lynch obtained permission
from tho authorities Of Accomao county
10 perform marriage and other cero-
monies usually pertaining 60 q minister
Of the gospel, and in o short time he
promulgated doctrines that have led 20
much trouble.
Ono OF these doctrinos-and the one
productive Of tho most trouble-is that
each member OF the band is 10 select o
sswatchman, /" the man to choose q WOm-
m, and vice versa The couples meet
alone together to study Scripture and
''meditato. " As these "meditatiOns'
frequently last nearly oil night, and
the "twos" seldom being man and wife,
there is considerable objection to the
"meditating, " especially when a "sanc-
tihed' wife Of an "unsanctifed'' man
m~editates until 2 or > a ~. with n Of
tho brethren. Nor do the unsanctifed
wives feel q sufficient confidence in their
"sanotifed" husbands to sit ~contentedly
ct home knowing that they are meditat-
ing and talking Scripture with another
woman who is perhaps younger and
prcttier. Lynch has given it out that
all persons who are married according
TO legal form or by an "unsanctided"
minister arc Ia the eyes of God guilty
Of breaking the seventh commandment
and that the children of such unions are
illegitimate. These are a few Of the
teachings Of this fanatic, all Of them
being ON a par with the instances given.
The lamentable feature of tho case is
that Lynch's followers believe him and
are energetic in making proselytes. A
branch church" was started ut Will
Evansville, Del, and quite a number
have embraced the ''sanctified" idea. A
few believers also live at Box Iron, in
this county, a small hamlet near the
Sinepuxent bay and neal Chincoteague.
An astonishing feature about these peo-
ple is the readiness with which they
quote Scripture and point out how sin
full every one except the "sanctiied'
II To do this they display much skill
in taking scraps Of the truth and sever
ing them from the context to excuse the
excuses committed by themselves. Tho
citizens Of C%hincoteague have got q
white elephant ON their hands that they
would like very much to DO rid Of, and
this desire has only been strengthened
by the killing of Bowden. Richmond

ed for the good name we are en-

The hair. brained correspondent

who were overwhelmingly con
demned by the people on Novem-

Governor Thornton assumed the
executive responsibilities Of this
Territory he did SO in the full
knowledge Of the gravity Of bis
position. He has never wavered
in his course or halted in his "for-
ward march" toward the suppress
sion Of crime and punishment of
criminals. He has ministered to
the necessities Of ali public needs
aud watched with reyerent care
every public Office under his juris-
diction. No man during the his
tory Of New Mexico ever assumed
more responsibility and accom-
plished greater results than has

The communication in the En-
terprise sounds like the rawlings Of
a defeated road supervisor or a
deposed worlds fair commissioner,
and the only surprise is that a
newspaper such rs the Enterprise

terical idiocy to pass through its
columns.

DISCONTINUE OF A LADY.
Attacked BY = Barrel Of cider While Prlc-

Attacked BY y Barrel Of Cider While Pric-
ing Kindling Wood.
Lewis Matthcwson, a young farmer of
ChestnutLHHb drove down to this city
last week withia load of kindling wood
to sell. Before starting out no went
down cellar and tested q full barrel of
cider. Finding it had a good head on,
Lewis loaded it ON the back end Of the
wagon, with the idea that it also could
DO sold in the city.
II was q long wey to town, the day
wa warm, and the sun beat down on
the load with considerable strength.
Farmer Matthewson had entered the
city and was driving along the street,
looking out for kindling wood customers,
when a handsomely dressed woman ap-
preached the curb to ask him the price
Of the load.
Tho farmer turned his horse up to the
walk and had inst laid down the reins
when an explosion occurred. The bung
Of the cider barrel few out with great
force and, as luck would have it. landed
~sqnarely in tho face Of the prospective
customer. A stream Of cider followed
closely in the wake of the bung. Both
struck her IN the mouth, and there was
q panic The blow, of course, startled
the woman, and as she opened her
mouth to scream tho cider filed II so
quickly as to force tho scream back. It
choked the woman SO that she nearly
stranglod.
The noise Of the explosion, the hiss Of
the escaping older and the oonvulsive
gurgle Of the woman combined to
brighten Farmer Matthewson's horse,
and before the young man knew what
had happened the animal had started to
run. Matthewson was thrown to the
ground, the wheels ran over him, and
the horse kepton. Before no stopped the
kindling wood was scattered over two
wards, the wagon was wrecked, and the
ambulance was ON its way to take the
young farmer to the hospital. Fortu-
nately ne was not much injured, except
in feelings, and oven these were nothing
compared to the state of mind Of the
woman-Ansonia Conn. Letter.

Interesting situation Made Apparent blythe
PrcmieFs Operturcs 10 tho vatican.
The remarkable speech made by Pre-
mier Crispi Of Naples the other day has
since boon slmost llo sole topic Of con-
v~orsation among politicians whose ex-
citcment contrasts c~uri0usly with the
c0mposuro with which tho apparent
ovoftures for 3 reconciliation between
state and chufch have been discussed ut
the Vatican. Tho clerical calmness is
duo 10 the fact that tho pope and his
oounselors have long been aware Of tho
desire Of the court and the liberal aris-
toorncy and Of tho great middle class
for a friendly understanding with the
Vatican and Of the gradual conversion
Of the redOubtablo Crispi himself TO the
political necessity for a working ar
rangoment between church and state.
The spread Of ultra revolutionary doc
trines Ia recent years has greatly alarm
cd Crisp, himself an old revolutionist,
aud the various attempts ON mis- own life
have doubtless ~quickenod his hatred Of
anarchism. But the main motive actu-

There is no longer a Crispi party in
the Italian chamber. The present min

undoubtedly the formation Of a new

their best to thwart tho first, but the

RELIEF WILL CONE.

WIN an hDluiuB lhlJu III the lu-
telligence and observation-disclosures of
the American citizen, to the ex-
tent that in and through their
power for right aud love of justice
and equity all irregularities will
meet correction and all organic
evils will be purged, we may rest
assured that the cloud of oppres-
sion and financial disaster which
has overshadowed this fair land
for the past few years will surely
and speedily be dispelled. The
history OF American progress from
the landing of the Pilgrim fathers
down to the present day is marked
at every angle with conscious
thought, scruPulous justice and
fearless purpose. Although it has
been necessary to write much Of our
history in human blood and pur-
chase many Of the liberties we
enjoy with human lives, yet with
our determination to free ourselves
from oppression, stamp out evil
and remove from our fair name
the odium and blight which have
at times hung over the nation like
a pail, the sacrifices have been
h%eroIcally made. No national i'll
has gone uncured, and yet all the
obstacles which we have sur
mounted were not the results CT
haste or ill-advised action. All
our great reforms have been
gradual. "The mills of the gods
grind slow, but they grind exceed
ingly small" Our national lnde-
pendence was not won in a single
day; slavery was not abolished in
an hour, or tariff reform accom-
plished in a minute, but they all
came TO pass.
And while the financial condi-
ton of this country is one of the
most serious questions with which
we have had to deal since the re-
bellion. still the right will triumph
aud the cloud will disclose its
silver lining" We have grad
ually drifted toward the shoals of
adversely and the quicksands of
financial disaster ever since the
ill-fated day when silver was de-
monetized. At that time it YVES
regarded the true policy of the
nation TO base our currency upon
the single gold standard, and
while in theory it presented a sub
stantial appearance, still expe-
renee has shown its hollowness.
What the American people now
demand Is more money. MOI a.
dollar that is worth a dol
lar to-day aud seyenty-fve
cents tomorrow, but a dollar
that will be a dollar today, tomor-
row and so on, adj infnitum.
