JBRRY'S OLD COAT.
An Object Lesson for the Congressional

An Object Lesson for the Congressional
kindergarten.
Congressman Jerry Simpson was guilty
OF an innovation during the tariff talk in
the house on Friday. Following Mr..
Payne, a republican member from New
York, Mr.. Simpson turned loose what
the press reporters called broRdside
against protection and trusts. He said
that while he intended to vote for the
Wilson bill, there were many provisions
in it which he did not approve of. He
was not one of those who ever believed
the democratic party, brought TO the
test, would carry out its pledges, for he
knew, while there were honest demo
Gratis, the action Of the democratic party,
like that of the republicans, was con-
trolIed BY the money power. "The Peo-
ple's party" said he, Stands on plat
form pledged" ss he interpreted il, ITO
the principle OF free trade. What / say
here to-day in the discussion Of this bill
shall be from the standpoint Of free
trader"
He believed the cause Of evil times
could be easily discovered IL gentlemen
would divest themselves Of party preju-
dice. 1t had not come suddenly, but
had been the result Of causes which be-
gan far in the past, and would have come
long ago had it not BEEN for the wonder.

LIBERAL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS

LIBERAL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
The republicans appropriated only
S1440O0 for public improvements for the
years 1891 and 1892, while the POpulists
appropriated $3l5,50O for that purpose
for 1893 and 1894, which leaves q credit
Of S171,5O0 in favor Of the Populists,
reckoned on the same basis as the $68, 900
credit to the republicans farther on for
1891 on state house appropriations, there
being no appropriation for completion OF
state house by the legislature OK 1893.
The reader will observe that while the
total legislative expenditures Of the re-
publicans was greater than that Of the
Populists, yet the Populists expended
more than twice as much for public i'm
provsments. Populists may plead guilty
to fsvoring public improvements, and
taking care Of our state institutions.

No such appropriation were made BY

which reverted back into the treasury
from the appropriations for 1891 is $3l5,-
143 Sc. As the amount Of unexpended
balances which will revert back into the
treasury from the present administrR-
ton will certainly exceed this amount
and on account Of which there would be
a credit due the Populists Of the excess,
it will surely be fair to republicans to
allow one to balance the other.

Quo WarrantO Proceedings In Progress Be
fore the Supreme Court.
TRENTON, March 9.-The argument in
the quo warranto proceedings in the senate
muddle began before the full bench of the
supreme court. There was a large crowd
in the courtroom. Chief Justice Beasley
presided. r. V. Lindabury opened the
argument on the part of the governor as
relator.
He said that the witnesses practically
agreed upon the essential facts in the case.
He then stated at length these facts as
brought out in the testimony and took up
nearly his entire time in discussing juris-
diction of the court to entertain the pro-
ceedings. He proceeded to argue as to
whether the Office of president of the sen
ate was public office within the meaning
of the act.
Hon. Cortland Parker followed Mr.. Lin
dabury on the part of Mr.. Rogers of the
Republican senate He called attention to
the fact that members of the senate We're
judges of the election and should decide
the qualifications of their own members.
After recess Mr.. Parker concluded his
speech in a few moments, and then Samuel
II. Gray began the argument on behalf of
Mr.. Rogers. He was not nearly through
when the court adjourned. Counsel have
asked for IA hours in which to prepare
their arguments. If they find today that
they cannot complete them, the court will
probably adjourn until Monday.

BENHAM STICKS TO RIO.

Other Foreign Admirals.


RIO DE j ANEIRO March 9.-American Ad-

on side to escape the contagiOn of yellow
fever.
The starving insurgents stole from the
side of the steamer Catania Il lighter flying
the German flag and frtighted with bacon
and machine oil belonging to lowering &
Co. of Baltimore.
The firms agents here appealed to Ad-
miral Benham to recover the stolen goods,
but the American commander said he
could only protect property under the
American flag.
The rebel warship Victoria, a converted
merchantmen, fired upon the English tug
Isabel, shooting away the British ensign,
and then boarded her and took away one
man. The English people here are highly
indignant, but are helpless, for all their
WarShips are outside.
The tugs owners have cabled their
grievance to England, and the German
residents have wired to Montevideo to have
their squadron returned to protect them.
All is reported quiet at Bahia. The new
American consul there, Mr.. Lewis, is said
to he performing his duties satisfactorily

months old daughter of Mr. and Mrs Harry
Clulee, of South Main street, met with a
serious accident yesterday afternoon. The
child was left in charge of the maid, who
was engaged in work in the third story of

was reached it was unconscious. The eX-

William Alderman, of Easton, the
hydrophobia patient, has had a turn for
the worse, and his friends are now hoping
that death may come and relieve him.
For time he showed signs of improve

soon be himself again. One day last week
he began raving and barking like dog
1t was only after a hard struggle that
neighbors and physicians succeeded in
strapping him to the bed. His hands are
tied and it is painful to see him struggling
in his bed, those who have seen him say
His is a most peculiar case, and it has
baffied the physicians for months
