Clouds Rolling BY.
LIGHT BREAKING ON THE TARIFF
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ARE
WEAKENING.
House Members Jubilsnt and Preparing
to Assume the Aggressive in the
Great Fight Now On.

WASHINGTON, D.. c., July 81
The clouds overhanging the tariff
bill are not quite as dark and dreary
to night as they were last night.
It is true the clouds are still there,
but there is a rent in them here and
there through which an occasional
gIeam Of sunshine breaks. The
House conferees are feeling a little
more cheerful. The Senators are
not saying anything, but as far as
the outer world can see are pat on
their bill.
There are evidences, however,
that the Senators are giving way,
mildly, il is true, slowly, ungracious'
ly, undignifiedly, but still they are
giving way. The pressure from the
country has been intense. Nearly
every county in every State in the
| Union has been heard from. Cor
man, Brice and Smith have been
cursed by telegraph and by mail
from every State. The Democratic
people of the country We're quick
to denounce the Senate bitterly, and
from North, West, South and East
have come to the Senate remon-
strances from Democrats against
surrendering to German, Brlce and
Smith. 1t is evident, too, that the
Senate c%onferees have been made to
the feel awkwardness of their posi-.
ton.
Everybody knows that Voorhees,,
Vest, Harris and Jones are good
Democrats and reliable tariff reform
ers. Of these 1t might be said that
Jones and Vest have charge of the
bill. Voorhees, is very sick and had
very little to do with the making of
the bill or the handling of it in the
Senate. Mr.. Harris is the parlia-
mentarian. He did not pay much
attention to the schedules or to the
amendments offered while the bill
was in the Senate.
He made the parliamentary mo-
tions that kept he. bill in place,
pushed it ahead, steered it, while
Jones and Vest attended to its con
struction. Jones offered most of the
amendments; all the amendments,
in fact, providing for an increase in
duties or the Commanding of the bill.
Vest attended to the internal revenue
features, particularly to the income
tax, which he modelled and perfect
ed.
There is no doubt that Vest and
Jones are men of ability. Vest is a
man of more than ordinary ability,
one Of the ablest men in the Senate
of the United States. He is "A man
of education and attainments, and
trained as a lawyer, a student of
public affairs since boyhood, a man
of strength of character aud of un.
questioned Democracy.

MEXICO, Mo-, July 3l.-Several
Hale City people asked me TO write
you a description of their little city
and surrounding country. The city
is a lovely little place OF ten years
growth and has 1900 inhabitants.
1t has everything to make it a good
size city-stores, shops, good mill,
Il large lumber yard which seems to
do an excellent business, a good
school, and they are building an
evaporation to dry apples. The gem
tlemen will employ 80 hands, all
women but two.
The town has four churches and,
in fact, is Il neat little place and the
country around is the finest I ever
saw. Such lovely farms and il
seems as if everyone is a master
farmer. There are no sorry looking
houses, but a great many fine ones.
There is a residence near Hale City
that looks like some fine painting.
1t is just on the edge of town and il
is surrounded with such lovely fields
of grain and stately trees. All
around the little city are the finest
crops | have seen for years, The soil
is black and rich. The people are
hospitable and all seem to he so kind
to one another. | met fifty.four per-
sous at my aunt's on her ninety-iirsl
birthday. They had come together
to celebrate her birthday and they
did il in a royal manner. A fine
dinner was served. My aunt is the
