Senator Teller said t h G
right thing when, in the
course of last weeks discus.
sion in the Senate, he said
that the people Of the United
States who had voted for
tariff revision III 1892, had a
right to obtain the le2isla-
ton which they desired from
the United Sta tps Senate. 1t
is not the first occasion on
which Senator Teller has
shown his capacity to rise
above the position and the
view Of the partisan and
grasp thatof the patriot and
tn e statesman. Senator
Chandler, of New Hampshire,
who is neither II patriot nor
d statesman, and has neither
the ambition nor the capaci-
ty to become one. was shock
ed at this declaration of his
republican colleague, and
hastened to enter his pro-
test against such unrepubli-
can doctrine. Only the day
before, Senator Dubois, of
Idaho, had given a like
shock to the New England
contingent ofrepubllcan pro-
tectionists, by declaring his
belief that either the speedy
passage Of defeat OF the tar
if bill would be a relief to the
country, and be followed by
a revival of business to IA
greater or less degree. If the
question wele settled now, he
said, and Congress were to
adjourn, some relief would
come, for employment could
be given to thousands, and
he would rather have the bill
passed now than have no
action on it at all.
The broad, healthy patri-
otism Of these two Western
Republicans found no echo

blooded and narrow-minded
champions and defenders Of

ufacturers, monopolists and
trusts. Senator Frye, OF
Maine, declared that he was
opposed on principle, to any
reduction Of the duties i'm
posed by the Mckinley act.
and should feel justified in
preventing by any legitimate
means III his power, the pas
sage OF any bill for that pur-
pose.
Senator Aldrich and all the
New England Senator'S APP
parently entertained thesame
view. Notwithstanding thnt
the people in 1890 andagain
in 1892, unequivocally de-
clared in favor Of tariff re-

Treasury department at my
request, in order that the al.
ministrative features OF the
schedule should be in correct
form. The suggestion Of the
rate and all of the essential
details Of the schedule were
from me-" There is abont
the amount Of truth in the
charges mentioned as in al
the rest. The schedule was
prepared at Treasury de-
partment at Senator .Jones's
request, and some Republi.
can clerk employed therein
probably told 1t outside; the
rest was imagined. The com
mittee may ask the Senate
to order the arrest of the
correspondents who refused
to give their authority for
thu charges, but that will ac-
complish nothing, as they
would be certain to continue
to refuse. The Senate has
several times tried, but never
successfully, to compel cor
respondents to tell where
they got information from.
Every Senator whose name
has been connected with
these charges has expressed
a willingness to appear be-
fore the Investigating CON-
mittee without the formality
OF a summons.
1t seems hardly necessary
to say that the stories print
ed in Republican papers a.
bout the great cost to the
government OF the little va
cation trip of President Cleve
land and Secretaries Car
lisle and Gresham, on the
light house tender Violet,
were entirely false The pres
ence Of those gentlemen on
the. little boat did not cost
the government one cent.
The Violet made her regular
trip, supplying the light
houses with oil, etc., and the
passengers table was sup
piled ut President Clevelan's
personal expense. The Violet
was not even delayed, Mr..
Cleveland insisting before the
start that the fishing and
hunting should only be done
while the boat was tranfer-
ring supplies to the light
honses, and that rule was
adhered TO during the trip.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.


From our Regular Correspondent
Signs are plenty that the
Republican S 9 n a tors are
ready to give up their useless
fight against the tariff bill,
and intimations have been
given to Senator Harris by
their leaders that il be would
not carry out his announced
intention Of compelling long
night sessions this week an
agreement might be reached
upon a date for the taking ol
a final vote upon the bill. As
the easiest way is always the
best way Senator Harris will
defer for a few days the hold
ing of night sessions, in or,
der to see whether an AMIGA
ble arrangeInentcan be reach
ed with the Republicans. II
SO, all rightand good if not,
the Democrats are all pre-
pared to endure any amount
OF personal hardship that
may be necessary to force a
vote. 1t is the expectation
OF the Democratic Senators
that the bill will be passed in
time for the conference COM
Inittee to act and get their
work endorsed by both House
and Senate and the bill sign
ed by PresidentUleveland be-
fore the first of July. Only
one Democratic vote is in
doubt-that Of Senator Hill,
and after he fails to get the
income tax struck out Of the
bill it is believed he will fall
into line and vote for the
bill.
The Senate investigation
committee found Buttz gull
ty OF having attempted to
bribe Senator's Hunton and
Kyle, but no steps have been
taken towards crinlinally
prosecuting him. The COM
nittee is now engaged in in
vestigating the charges of
crookedness on the part Of
the sugar trust and Senators
in connection with the pre-
paration OF the sugar sched-.
Ae Of the tariff bill, and,
judging from the evidence al.
ready taken, those charges
are likely to be shown up as
outright fakes. Forinstance,
il, was charged that the sue-
ar schedule was prepared in
the handwriting Of Secretary
Carlisle, who carried it to a
meeting Of the Finance com
mi.tee, and demanded that
it be adopted because OF OBJ
legations the party owed to
the sugar trust, and the
man who made the charge
to giyehisauthority.
The story was read to Sena-
tor Jones, Of Arkansas, who
was chairman of the sub-coml
inittee that arranged the
amendments to the tariff
bill, which included the sugar
schedule, and he was asked
by Senator Gray, chairman
OF the investigation commit
tee, What truth there was in
it. 'sNone, whatever" he re-
piled emphatically II think

ing Of tho tariff sub-commit-
tee this session, but no such
scene waa ever enacted, nor

to note that the robust and
sturdy common sense of the
great west is beginning to
revolt against it. 1t is graf
flying also to gee q growing
disposition among republi-
can Senator's to end the fill
clustering. The responsible
ity OF framing a proper tariff
reform bill, in accordance
with the declaration and
pledges of the Chicago plat
form, as IA titled and accept
ed by the people, at the polls
in November, 1892, is un-
doubtedly laid upon the dem
ocratic party. Republican
Senators have a perfectright
to criticise and expose the
weakness and shortcomings
of the democratic party, and
the disloyalty of some Of it's
members to the party doc
trine and pledges. They
have a right, if they choose,
to protest against the JUS
tice and wisdom of the popu-
lar verdict, and if they can,
to induce the people to change
that verdict next fall, or two
years hence.
Meantime, the popular ver-
dict stands, and it Is the du-
ty of republicans aus we'll as
democrats to respect and O.
hey the popular will. The
treason of a few democrats
does not justify the attempt
on the part of the republi.
cans, by the aid OF fthose trai
tors, to aefeat the passageo oi
such a tariff bill as the Amer
lean people, by their votes in
1890 and again, and more
explicitly and formally, in
1892, emphatically demand
ed. The peoples mandate
was addressed not to one
party only, but TO both par
ties. 1t was addressed to all
t h q peoples servants--to
Congress in both houses, and
as made up Representatives
OF both parties. 1t is the du-
ty OF Congress to hear and
obey. Republicans fatter
themselves. if they imagine
that the penalty OF disobed-
ience to the popular will lie
visited upon the democratic
party only.
The people are able to dis
criNinnte and will know who
to punish, whether they are
democratic traitors and rene
grades, or republican rebels
and obstructionists. 4 h e|
people being Of the same
mind as in 1892, and more
than ever intent upon Deing
obeyed. will no more trust
the republican party with.the
execntionof their wishes IN
reference to tariff reform in
1894 or in 1895 than they
we're willing to trust them IN
1890 or in 1892. The peo-
pie, conscious OF having been
cheated and defrauded, will
seek to select servants who
can be more certainly de-
pended upon to befaithfnl to
their trust. They will not
look for republican enemies
OF tariff ifreform with whom to
replace the democratic be-
tlayers Of that reform.

the path 81 sound policy, as
well as honesty and true pa
triotism. when he tells his re-

THE LOCAL PAPRR's POWER.
Potent Reasons VIZ Il Ghoald hs
1SustaiDed By the People.
The immense power q local
newspaper possesses in at
tracing trade to the town in
which it is published or di-
verting it to other channels
can hardly be estimated. Fur
ther, it is a matter that is sci
dom considered as an impor-
tant factor in a towns pros
perity, for the simple reason
that business men do notgive
it thought. He who will i'm
partially consider the asser-
tion will be convinced of it.
The local paper is very natu-
rally b;ased in favor of the
place of it's publica ton, work
ing hard to build it up, and
II given a fair living patron
age by home business men
will guard well their interest,
just as the merchant guards
the interest Of his individual
customer. But if a niggard-
IL support is doled out to it,
and it il compelled to solicit
custom from neighboringcit-
les, it cannot in justice to
those patrons exert itself lin
behalf OF its town as it other
wise would. Try a 81 stem Of
llberality in the matter ofad-
vertising expenditure and
mark the result.
The position of a country
editor is not held IN the es-
TEEN it should be. Because
he cannot suit some parti:u-
lar clan or set in the conduct
OF his paper they use various
and sundry means on the sly
to try to pull him down,
when at the same time he is
doing all in his power to
build up the town in which
said clan are vitality inter.
ested. Base ingratitnde.
They only think no one else
is entitled to consideration
unless they accord with their
views, and be governed BY
them. How can a town pros
per when such a state OF af-
fairs exist? One set trying
to pull down another set,
while the quiet war is golng
ON the town suffers the loss
of trade and the newspaper
is retarded in itswork for the
want of patronage. Wake
up to the Importance OF sus-
tanning your local paper and
thereby build up your own
interest.
In case a family can afford
only one paper, let that ba
the home paper; for it con-
Germs a family more to know
what is being done in it's own
county than it does to know
the news of distant places.
The city paper cannot give

GOOD PLOT ron A NOVEL.
Remantie Story o. A Western 0snk
Deficiency.

1.-THE author who proposes to write
the real and only American novel may
find n very fair plot in the story am
about to relate" said Frank n. Har-
ris Of Chicago, at Wizards. "Sev.
eral years ago the people Of a small
western city began to wonder how
the cashier Of the leading bank could
afford to live as well US he appeared
to be doing. His salary, 1t is true,
was very liberal, but his expendi-
lures far exceeded II. He built him.
self a splendid residence, had his
horses and carriages, and altogether
conducted himself like n man who
owned rather than worked for bank.
He had the confidence OF the bank di.
rectors, however, and the rumors and
gossip that reached their ears appar.
emily had no effect upon them. The
cashier was suddenly taken sick with
a lingering malady, and lay In q
barely conscious condition for two or
three months, when death finally
claimed him. An examination O! his
books which followed his death
showed an apparent deficiency In his
accounts OF over $35, 600. His real
friends were thunderstruck and
would not believe the dead man had
been dishonest. His bondsmen. too,
could not be convinced that he had
made way with the funds OF the bank
but the books showed the shortage.
While they were arranging to mako tho
sum good the cashiers widow camc
forward and presented the bank pres.
ident with check for tho entire
amount, telling him that she knew
her husband had never taken cent
Of the money, and that while she
couldn't understand tho apparent
proof Of his dishonesty, she was sub
timely confident that he died good,
upright man.
No one knew either, where the
widow had gotten such very large
sum Of ready money. She continued
to occupy the family home, ana
there was no change whatever In her
mode OF life, and the town was there
fore confronted with a second mys-
terry, rs inexplicable as the first.
Four years after the death OF the
cashier tho man who had been assist
ant cashier, and who had succeeded
to the position when 1t Was made
vacant, also died. Before his death

into comatose condition, whence

cover, he himself had manipulated
the books Of the bank so as to show
that the dead cashier was a defaalter,
and had taken the money for his own
uses. He left his property to the widow
OF the man whose memory he had
so dishopored, and 1t then turned
out that the former cashier had early
In his career invested In western
mining stock, and that the money he
was spending so lavishly during his
life, and from which his widow made
good his apparent shortage after his
death, was the result OF his wise
foresight when he was q mere bank

saw most pernicious joke play
ed on man between Usage City and
Topeka, last week, "said Clement +.
Stone, Of Newton, Kan, who was ut
the Lindell recently. 1.-TWO men
boarden the train ut Usage City, and
took n seat In the smoker Just in
front OF me. 1t was evident from
their conversation, which was carried
on in quite loud tone, that they
were, both Of them, in hard luck,
and were going to Topeka in search
OF employment. ONe Of them placed
his ticket on the seat while he lit
very inferior cigar, and his compan-
ion quietly picked it up and put it
in his pocket. A few minutes later
the man missed his ticket, and went
through the usual pantomimc Of turn
ing out all his pockets and looking In
his hat lining. Knowing the con-
ductor wouk be round in a moment,
and also that he had not enough
money in his pocket to pay his fare
again, he began asking the adyico of
his friend, who suggested gravely
that he crawl under the seat and try
and escape notice that way. There
seemed no other alternative for the
unfortunate man, who cramped him
self under the seat as suggested.
When the conductor came along the
practical joker handed him two tick
cts, and was Of course asked who tho
second one was for. He replied that
it was for a friend who preferred rid
ing under the seat, wbereupon tho
victim of the joke crawled out, and
amidst general laughter knocked the
dust of his clothes, ana promised to

opportunity."-lSt. Louis Globe.
