PULLMAN IN DO.
Three Decades ago lie Was the same
stubborn Man lie Is To-Day.

TOPEKA, July 21.-Colonel Ed
ward IL. Brown, of Girard, knew
Geo. NJ. Pullman in the gold mines
more than thirty years ago. Col.
Brown was postmaster of Clear
Creek, and Pullman was a half
owner in the famous Gregory mine,
which afterward sold for 4 or ) mill
lion dollars. Pullman and his part
ner also conducted Il sort of board
ing house. 1t was not run for prof
it especially, but to make Pullman
comfortable, and he consented TO
share his good living with men who
could afford to pay for it. Colonel
Brown says nothing was too good for
that boarding house, and though
rates we're away up its tables were
always well patronized.
Then as now Pullman was a "lord
of creation He always dressed
we'll and lived well; he was exclus.
i've in his acquaintance, and was
proud and stubborn. If he believed
he was right he would neve COM
promise. II was this trait that led
to his departure from Colorado. He
and his partner differed in a ques-
ton of business method. Pullman
would not argue-he was right and
that settled it. They could not
agree and Pullman sold ont for ST.
900. Taking his money Pullman
went TO Chicago, where he engaged
with Lyman j. Gage and others in
raising large brick buildings ont Of
the low ground in order to create Il
fall for sewerage. Their profits We're
enormous, and we're the foundations
of the fortunes which Pullman and
Gage and perhaps some of their AS.
sociates afterwards made.

THE TARIFF DEBATE.
There viii be ii Hard Fight over the
fsiiI. Rnt Some Sort OF Measure
Viii Have To Pass.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July d.
Universal interest and expectation
wait upon to-morrow's session Of
the Senate. The future of the Gov
ernment's most important measure
will depend upon the action of the
Senate within the next few days.
The lines for and against the Gov
eminent are being closely drawn,
and from this time on it will certain
ly be a fight without gloves and a
fight to a finish. Never did High
Chancellor, Prime Minister or Presi-
dent enter SO energetically into the
support of the leading issue of his
administration as MFR. Cleveland
has done in the present instance,
and never was there such a high Of
ficer more capable, able and willing
to carry on a winning fight. This
does not mean that there is any
present prospect of victory for Mr..
Cleveland and those behind him in
the present titanic struggle on his
hands. There is absolutely moth
ing of Cancellation in the at
mosphere tonight. Even those
Senators who are supporting the
President in defending the House
bill and loathing the Senate measure
are disposed TO advance acceptance
of the latter legislation. They are
better acquainted than anyone else
with the exact condition of affairs in
the Senate, and their advice should
undoubtedly carry weight. Never.
theless there is Il widespread feeling
based more upon intuition and that
confidence which comes with the
knowledge of past victories, that the
President will not lose the aim fol
which he has lately entered the
arena and that the Senate is now al
the height of its strength. In Other
words, that if the Senate is wise il
will make the most of its present
power. II it forces Il conclusion
within the next week, and, conced
ing some, still retains much of liz
already obtained concessions, it will
be better than it it invites a dead
lock and enters into Il prolonged
contest. Every day will give the
President and the House additional
strength; every day will bring s
larger rallying crowd about the chic
executive and the remarkable letter
which he has lately written to the
American people through his fore.
most tariff reformer aide. If the
deadlock is brought on and the al
ready powerful Impotence of the
people of the country is strengthened
by the righteous Indignation which

OF lis cause, and fears the disclosures

man car until the Pullman Company
does justice to its employees. Let
the car run absolutely empty. No

a Pullman car. Let this policy be
in%augurated, and we will then see

believe, to haul Pullman cars.

fight against the Pullman Company,

without regard to consequences,

will be no surrender. We will use

16. 1t is here given:
When the House had under con-
sideration on Saturday a bill provid,
ing for a system of retirement OF Off
GERS of the revenue-cutter service
Congressman Champ Clark, of Mis-
souri,, attacked the idea of a civil
pension list and talked the bill out of
time. So it went over without ac'
tion. Mr.. Clark incidentally attack
ell the Civil Service system as it is
now conducted. He declared that
the present law bred IL class of en-
ployes who believed they were en-
titled to life positions and to pensions
when incapacitated from age or in
trinity, and that they lost some OF
the characteristics that should mark
the true American citizen, losing all
interest in politics.
Mr.. Clark is right and it is a.great
pity that more men in Congress
have not the courage that he has to
"speak out in meeting" There is
not a member of Congress who would
employ clerks or other assistants il

vides for IN public affairs. 1t is ;
fact that will demonstrate itself L

the Civil Service Commissioners art
passing on the qualifications of mel
