such action. The consular appropria-
ton bill was taken up again.
FRIDAY-The senate met, under a new
order, at 1 1 a. m. Mr.. Lindsay (dem. J
spoke for the bill, and was anxious to
have it passed. not because he favored it
entirely but because he wanted a demo-
cratic tariff law. Mr.. Aldrich challenged
the democrats to vote on the bill that
afternoon. This created a buzz, and
when the challenge was accepted the
Rhode Island senator retreated. Mr..
Cullom of Illinois spoke in opposition to
the BILL He wanted tariff legislation
postponed till 1895, in order to give a
special commission time to investigate
thoroughly and recommend proper
action by congress. Mr.. Dolph also
spoke against the bill.-It was a dull day
in the house. Several private calendar
bills were considered. An act was
passed providing for plurality elections
of representatives in congress. The
house failed to concur in the senate reso-
luton on final adjournment.
SATURDAY.-In the senate the tariff
was again discussed, the republicans do
ing all they could to worry the other
side on the question of amendments
which, it was reported. were being
planned for. Eulogies on the late Repre-
sentative Lilley were pronounced by
several seuators.-1n the house a number
of private bills were passed, and the
army appropriation bill was taken up.
MoNDAY-A feature of the tariff debate
in the senate was a bitter attack by
Mr.. Turpie (dem.) on Mr.. Aldrich (rep.)
in which he charged him with being the
father of three gross lies concerning
amendment to bill. Mr. Aldrich met the
attack quietly and made only brief sar-
castle reply.-In the house the army ap-
propriati bill was passed and the ag-
ricultural appropriation bill was taken
up.
TUEsDAY.-Both branches of congress
adjourned early in the day out of respect
to the late Senator Stock bridge of Mich
igan, whose death was announced.

IN CONGRESS.

WEDNEsDAY-In the senate, after the
introduction of bill and resolution on
the subject of Coxey's arrival in Wash
ington, the tariff bill was debated by
paragraphs. An effort to commit the
senate to FIVE hours daily discussion of
the bill failed. 1t was thought that the
bill could not pass before June 2O.-In
the house the diplomatic and consular
appropriation bill was further discussed
The house adjourned after considering
seven pages of this bill
THURsDAY-In the senate Mr.. Higgins
of Delaware attacked the tariff bill as a
blow at the Hawaiian sugar trade, and
reviewed the whole Ha waiian question
After considerable debate the Coxey
resolutions were side-tracked, the pre-
vailing sentiment being that the mem
bers OF Coxey's army should be dealt
with as other tramps. The republican
senator's continued their filibustering
speeches to kill time and embarrass the
majority.-In the house the matter of
deducting members pay for absence was
taken up and fight was made against

Il GOOD SUGGESTION.

Senator Cullom of Illinois made a
good suggestion the other day when
he advocated the postponement OF
all tariff legislation until 1895, in
order to give a special commission
time to investigate this vexed ques-
ton thoroughly and recommend to
the next congress a course of action
looking to the best interests of the
country at large.
The experience which the demo-
cratic party is now having with the
Wilson bill; the longdrawn-out and
unsatisfactory debate over the meas
ure in the senate; the great diversity
of opinion within that party and
the numerous schemes proposed for
the amendment of the bill with a
view to bringing about harmony !;
if this condition of affairs proves
anything, it is that the majority in
congress are wholly unfit to settle
this question which touches SO many
interests. The uncertainty has in
tensihed to such an extent that pub
lie meetings are being called to pro-
test against further delay in the SEN
ate and to hasten definite action one
way or the other.
The defeat of the Wilson bill, as to
whose merits there is so wide a diff
ference of opinion even within the
party from which it springs, and the
relegation of the whole matter to an
intelligent and discreet commission
for investigation and report, would,
we believe, allay the uncertainty and
suspense IN business circles and go
far toward restoring confidence. A
tariff bill which resulted from candid
investigation by such a commission
would be looked upon as more prom
Using and more entitled to public
confidence than a measure like the
Wilson bill which has aroused so
fierce conflict in its own political
family. 1t would be free from the
suspicion of star chamber methods,
and its provisions could be based
upon impartial inquiry into the
needs of the country, instead of upon
the selfish greed of any particular
line or lines of industry.
Congress might do worse than act
on Senator Cullom's suggestion.

EXIT COXEY.

Crusader Coxey and his gang of
tramps have collapsed. The noble
army of self-styled martyrs, who
started from Massillon, Ohio, with
the avowed purpose of over-aweing
congress and the other powers at
Washington, have degenerated into
a cheap show of vagrancy. The
stealing of freight trains, and other
law-defving acts en- route started out
the United States regulars and Gov.
McKinley's militia, and three or four
hundred of the tramps were made
prisoners. The farce in which the
commonweal army played SO
prominent a part is at an end, but
the pernicious influence of it all will
be felt in some sections for long time
to come. 1t was a wholesale turn
ing out of tramps-the intelligent
element among the unemployed had
no part in it; and the hardness of
state authorities in taking en-
phatic steps against the movement,
with the populistic sympathy ac-
corded by Pennover and one or two
other governors of his ilk, has
operated to breed an uneasiness
which will be some time in quoting
down.
Other individuals of like ambition
with Coxey should take the hint
and such scenes as have attracted
the country's attention for two or
three weeks past should not be al
lowed on the national stage again.

Democrats at Philomath.

The democrats conducted themselves
so we'll at Philomath last "Wednesday
evening that they are really deserving of
congratulation. Think of 100 democrats
going to a neighboring town on cam
daigning tour without even a drop of
booze This is certainly an indication of
hard times, for none of the excursionists
are Keely graduates, nor has it been Civ
en- out that their appetite for good old
Bourbon has in any degree lessened. In
cluding the band and the Cleveland
quartette, about 100 enthusiasts of the
local democracy went out by special
train. Addresses were made by w. S.
McFadden, A. F. Hershner and S. T.
Jeffreys The Clevelands:quartette re-
sponded twice to hearty encores. The
good residents of that strong republican
precinct had seldom seen SO many DEM
ocrats in body and from sheer curiosity
turned out enmasse to greet the visitors,
who took the seeming appreciation of
the exercises as proof positive that every
mothers son in Philomath precinct, ex-
cepting three who were unable to be
present, would vote the democratic tick
ct, and so fattered were they with the
imaginary prospects for success that on
reaching Corvallis, it was claimed by
some of the more sanguine ones that
the democrats would carry the state.
During their absence this city enjoyed a
season of quietude that was really pain
full.
Later.-It has been learned from relia.
lie sources that booze was kept from the
rank and file only, and that the old
wheel horses had their "ration O. rye" as
usual.
