Senator Voorhees, says that no matter
what other changes may be made in
the tariff bill the income tax will re-
main. But the bill cannot be made ac-
ceptable to Hill and Murphy if the in
come tax is allowed to remain, and to
make it acceptable to those senators
among others is what it has been turned
over to Carlisle for. Within two days Hill
has openly declared that he will not vote
for the bill if the income tax is in 1t, no
matter whether it be limited in opera
tion to ten years or ten months. IL
Voorhees's statement is reliable then
HIPS vote is lost to the bill and Mur-
phys also probably. Bnt the truth prob
ably is that the administration has sue
ceeded in getting the bill out of Voor-
hees's possession ana intends to fix it
up to suit itself. When it is fixed Voor-
hees's vote will be forthcoming whether
the income tax is in it or not He's a

CARLIsLE's TARIFF BILL.

1t is not seriously denied that the Will
son bill has been sent 20 the hospltai
again to be further doctored. The ply
sieian in charge this time appears to be
Secretary Carlisle. He has agreed to fix
it up SO that the Democratic Senators can
vote forit. But the country is gravely
assured that there is to be no sacrifice OF
principle. Carlisle enjoys an envlable
reputation as compromiser, but to nix
this tariff bill SO it will be acceptable to
all the Democratic senators without
any sacrifice of principle is likely to put
his powers to a severer test than they
have ever been subjected to in the past
But the outgiving about principle IS
probably nothing but piece of bum
connie, put forth with view to quiet
ing such men as Watterson and Tom
Johnson who really believe in tariff
for revenue only and really hoped ana
expected that Congress would make
such tariff as that AS matter OF
fact the changes are to be made in the
bill without any reference to principle
whatever. Each Democratic senator is
going to step mp and say what changes
he wants in the bill, and then practl-
cally new bill is to be constructed based
on these wishes SO far as they are recon-
cilable. Of course every senator cannot
get all ne wants, bnt they will all be
given something-enough to secure their
votes. Tariff making has become with
the Democrats now simply trade and
dicker with view to getting enough
votes to pass some kind of a bill, what
kind the managers care little provided
it differs suffi GENTLY from the Mckinley
law to enable them to say that 1T IS
new measure. The declaration of the
Democratic platform has been relegatec
to the dust heap, and in the measure
when it comes from the hospital it will
probably be impossible to discern any
principle whatever 1t will be hodge

many votes as possible. 1t will resem-

REED AND THE PRESIDENCY.
New York and Pennsylvania Congressman
Enthusiastic for His Nomination.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Springfield Repa blican says: A
concerted movement will soon be begun
by certain Republican members of the
house looking to the nomination of ex-
Speaker Thomas B. Reed as candidate
for the presidency. 1t will include, it is
said, leading representatives from New
England, New York, Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. 1t had it's inception with
some of Mr.. Reeds Republican friends
in the New York delegation.
These men have been making inquiries
among the Congressman from the forego-
ing states and find hearty responsive
ness to their suggestion that Reed be
brought to the front and vigorously
doomed from this time.
The movement is still in nebulous
state but it is in the hands of clever
politicians, men who are devoted and
enthusiastic friends of the ex-speaker and
SO far as the matter has gone the result
has been more encouraging than they
expected, Mr.. Reeds friends say that
he is the only available candidate for
1896. He IS protectionist in every fiber
of his being but he is not SO extreme as
Mckinley, and for this reason would,
tbey claim, receive the cordial support of
that class of Republicans who believe in
the principle of protection, but not the
extreme to which it was carried in the
Mckinley bill.
The New York congressman have al
WAYS been friendly to Mr.. Reed His
election as speaker OF the House four
wears ago turned to some extent upon the
New York dele cation The delegation at
time contained 20 Republican members,
and these under the leadership of Mr..
Belden of Syracuse not only voted solid
" for Reed, but did good deal Of quiet
work in his. behalf among other delega-
lions which at the start viewed Reed $
canvass withssom indifference. Senator
Lodge of Massachu=ce..e is another ar
dent Reed man. He was Que of Reed s
lieutenants during that celebrated speak
ership contest and is today as loyal to
his friendship as he was at that time.
From what Representative Brosius of
Pennsylvania says, Mr.. Reed is in every
way as popular among the Pennsylvania
congressman as he is with those of New
| York. Mr.. Brosius says
| think the ex-speaker has placed this
country under an obligation that can be
partly liquidated by making him presi-
dent of the Uuited States. This is not
a new opinion on my part either. / ex-
pressed it in speech l made in Pennsyl.
reneat it now, that the ex-speaker is one
| of the most extraordinary men now liv-
| ing. He has not a superior if an equal
| in public life to-day.

national man, "a great head upon great

Coxey made his threatened descent up
on the capitol yesterday and succeeded
in getting himself and couple OF his
Iieutenants taken into custody by the po-
lice. There were no signs of any sympa-
thy With Coxey or his troops. A big crowd
gathered but merely out of curiosity and
with no intention of helping along the
proceedings. Probably the experience
of Coxey will deter the other generals
now on their way to Washington if they
succeed in ge ting there from any har'
rangue on the capitol steps or any at

Very likely it will be the finishing stroke

Congress were due to a combination OF
qualities and forces which sum up re-
markable personality, and made him IN
some respects the most imposing figure of
his time. He possesses an understanding
of rare amplitude, a sure-footed judg-
ment, stupendous endurance and cour-
age that never quails. He thinks with
alertness, perceives with absolute clear,
ness, executes with promptness, and

One Of the Leading Senators Makes a
Statement
WHAT HE HAS DISCOVERED.
There is no Man or Woman Who Reads
This Telegram Who Cannot Profit
By Its Advice.
WHAT HE HAS DISCOVERED.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 2.-The
consideration of the tariff bill and the
Hawaiian question has been partially
eclipsed by the revelation of certain
figures, which the Health Department of
the Government has produced. 1t is
shown that, as compared with other ma
tons, America is in fact nation of
starvelings. We produce the grain, the
beef. the pork, to feed the world; but
Americans, themselves. appear thin,
pale and often puny. Authorities are
asking why this shonld be so, and it has
been declared that it is because we are
so intense, so active as a nation. A
prominent man in an official capacity,
however has declared that ii is because
Americans do not secure the proper
benefit from the food they eat. He as
serts that "the food that gets into the
stomach is not digested, but after tax
ing the body to try to digest it, it fails
to make any blood, thus leaving the
body in worse condition than before
the food was taken. A man OF woman
might as we'll starve outright, as to tai e
food INTO the stomach and not have it
digest"
1t is perhaps because of this revelation
that the new discovery known as Pas
kola, the flesh forming food, is attract
ing so much attention just now. A we'll
known statesman in speaking upon the
subject, yesterday, said:
Il do not know what should do with
all the cares and duties l have, if l had
not something upon which to build my
strength. l have found that ordinary
foods do not answer the purpose, but l
have found that by the steady use of
Paskola, have no trouble with indi-
gestion and have gained a number of
pounds in weight For this reason 1
feel that l cannot get along without it. :"
The eminent man above quoted is only
one of the great many who are starting
in the new and advanced path which has
been shown TO be the short cut to health
and strength, and the attention of the
people of Washington is centered upon
this subject which is known to be SO inn
portant.
A pamphlet giving full particulars re-
speeding Paskola will be sent on applica-
ton to the Pre-Digested Food Co., 30
