SENATORIAL DIGNITY SHOCKED
The senatorial dignity sustained a
terrible shock yesterday morning. Sen
ator Kyle had just begun his speech on
the income tax, when Senator Call. OF
Florida, walked into the Senate cham.
Der arrayed in blue coat ard white
flannel trousers. He looked cool and
prepared for % hot day before him.
Seating himself directly in front Of the
desk where Mr.. Kyle was holding forth
Mr.. Call deliberately reached down
and took off both of his shoes and dis
played pair OF largc-size Florida feet,
ensconsed in pair of mauve socks.
Having thus relieved his agony. he
turned and put his stockened feet upon
his desk in full view of the Senate and
the galleries and settled himself to en-
JOY the speech Of the populist Senator
from South Dakota. 1t was a notice
able fact that the socks were new and
quite artistic in appearance on the feet,
but hardly a fit ornament for the ma
hogany desk. = thrill of injured d.
nifty swept over the Senate che.mber.
aud the Senator's seated near the
Florida member quietly moved away
leaving only George, of Mississippi. and
Ky lie, OF South Dakota alone to admire
the hosiery. After testing himself for
some time, Mr.. GIL took his feet down
from his own desk, swung his chair
around and faced Mr.. Kyle, placing his
stocking Feet upon the front of Mr..
kyie's resk, and there he sat until the
South Dakota Senator finished his
speech, and then, quietly slipping his
shoes on again, Mr.. Call wandered oil
into the clOakroom to drink lemonade.

THE BREATH of chronic catarrh patient
is often so offensive that he be. ONES an object
of disgust. After time liberation sets in,

The republican convention of the
State ofCalifornia favored the Force bill
women suffrage, the Mckinley bill, the
making of cheap silver a legal pay
ment for all debts, public and private.
and opposed any attempt to prevent the
payment of fraudulent pension. Should
similar conventions of other Northern
States adopt similar resolutions, there
need be no fear of dissolution of the
solid South, no matter what either the
democratic President or the democratic
Congress have done or may do.

SATURDAY EVENING JUNE % 1894

THE anti option bill which passed the
L. 5. House of Representatives yester-
day, though nominally for the benefit
of farmers, is really for the injury OF
that, the largest class of the country S
people. Fortunately for them 1t IS
hardly possible for it to pass the Sen
ate. Everything that restricts trade is
for the interest of the buyer, and
against that of the seller, and there is
no plain reason why a farmer in need
of money should not be allowed to sell
his crop in the ground as well as that
in his barn. A Virginia Congressman
some wears ago assigned as his reason
for supporting bill of somewhat
similar character, his previously form
ed determination that no man should
exceed him in demagogery. 1t real Y
seems as if large majority ofthe mem
bers ofthe present House of Represen-
tives are actuated by the same motive.
They have at least sense enough to
know that understanding doesn't come
from free schools and cheap newspapers.

THE FACT that farmers wives in
Loudoun county are now getting only
eight cents a pound for their butter, is
not well calculated to make their hus-
bands dead in love with a party that
imposes tax OF fifty per cent. on their
clothing. Leaving out of view the in
come tax provision of the new tariff
bill, the best thing that can be truth
fully said of that bill, is that it will
plunder and pillage the people little
less than the Mckinley bill has done
and is doing.

THE ellrontery of the United States
in assuming to interfere with sovereign
countries in Central and South Ameri-
ca in such arrangements as they may
choose to make with foreign govern
ments across the seas, appears gro
tesquely absurd to all intelligent peo-
pie, no matter where they may live.
Indeed the sayings and doings of this
government have induced the govern
ments of foreign countries to ignore its
ridiculous Prescriptions and smile at
them as wise men do at those of for
ward children.

A DELEGATION of the employees of
some of the New Jersey potterles have
asked Congress to amend the tariff bill
by reducing the high duty on imported
pottery. assigning as their reason for
doing so the fact that such duty had
not tended to increase their wages.
This world must surely be given over
to lying. Why, the chief point in the
argument OF the protectionists, is the
statement that high tariff makes high
wages. But no body knows that points
are not facts better than protected
manufacturer, or his paid agents in
Congress. Labor is a commodity, and
its price, like that of every thing else,
is regulated, not by tariffs, but by the
Interchangeable law of supply and de-
mand.

 Them Highly.

PRovrNcETows, Nov 20.-An officer of the United States ship Concord, writing from Chemulpo, Corea, under date of Oct. 2 to friend here, says of the battle of the Yalu:
 "The Japanese are splendid soldiers and fight like tigers. In the battle Of Sept. IT Ia, 900 Chinese were killed and only 300 men were lost by the Japanese.
 "For quick work and skilled engin- ssring the Japanese excel any men l ever saw. They laid pontoons across the river and marched over body of troops. consisting of 2O,OoO men. with heavy guns and artillery, and had every thing completed in little over two hours. They are landing troops here every day and marching them towards Pekin.
 "Op Sept. a7 they captured place and ss00.o00 with 1t. and the reports are that they killed every Chinaman in the place. No matter if they have got millions and millions of men In China, they are no fighters compared with the Japanese"
