Congressional.

The Senate yesterday disposed Of five
pages oftariifbill, completing the consid-
Grafton of the metal schedule, except the
paragraphs relating to lead and zinc
and their manufactures. These para
graphs promised to precipitate a strug-
gle of some pretensions, and, as they
were reached late in the afternoon, it
was deemed best to allow them to 60
over. Mr.. Henderson introduced a bill
requiring foreign statesmen coming to
this country to sell goods to procure q
license, the cost OF which is fixed at
81 900 per year.
The entire afternoon in the House
was consumed in discussion of an
omnibus resolution from the committee
on war claims, grouping together 81
claims for cotton, ETC., aggregating
S1,040,000. Half the time was taken
up in discussion on point of order
against the grouping of so many bills in
one resolution. The only business
transacted during the day was the pas
sage of q bill for The relief of Thomas B.
Reed, and the success of this bill SEEM
ed to be due, in no small degree, to the
name.
The House committee on postofiices
and post roads agreed to report favora-
bly, the bill to increase the salaries of
letter-carriers and the bill to regulate
the removal of letter-carriers, postal
clerks and railway mail clerks.

SATURDAY EVENING MAY 26, 1894.

TIE PHILADELPHIA Press supports
the monetary policy of Mr.. Oates, the
democratic candidate for Governor of
Alabama, but the sectional prejudice OF
its editor against the people OF the
South is so intense and abiding that it
induces him to make the utterly
groundless and gratuitous assertion,
that nothing can alter the fact that
with a free ballot in Alabama Colonel
O4tes would stand as small chance OF
election as the democratic candidate in
this State" The Press is one of the
many northern newspapers that pre-
tend to believe that because the vote of
southern States doesn't correspond with
the census reports, there must be either
bulldozing or cheating. But that no
belief could be more erroneous was
patiently illustrated at last Thursday 5
election in this State, against the fair
ness of which, no body, not even the
Richmond Times, brings any charges,
but at which not one fifth of the vote
was polIed.

ter my humiliation | called on Mr.. L..

me although I had been taxed to pay
him for his services. In answer to my
further questions, Mr.. Barley Seeming

Four THOUSAND half starved miners
at Coal Creek, near Knoxville, who had
been on strike since the Dist ult.,
went to work again yesterday on pre-
cisely the same terms that existed when
they abandoned their employment
They lost five weeks pay, which they
will never make up, and subjected
themselves and their families to much
and totally unnecessary suffering. The
advance in the price of coal more than
offset the loss of their employers. But
so utterly unamenable to reason is the
average striker, that these same men
will probably strike again next spring
if not sooner.

A PROPOSITION is before the New

an educational qualification upon the
privilege of suffrage, and it will proba-
bly, be adopted, as the convention is re-
publican by large majority, and as
the proposition is approved by the
leading republican organs in the State.
And yet when the Constitutional Con-
vention of Mississippi imposed SINH
lar qualification upon suffrage in that
State, among all the northern republi-
can newspapers that denounced it for
doing so, none was more pronounced
than those of New York.

will shut the mouths of independents,
