 A LIVELY FIST FIGHT
BETWEEN AN EDITOR AND AN INSURANCE

BETWEEN AN EDITOR AND AN INSURANCE
 AGENT OVER AN EDITORIAL.
 The Sunday Morning Star office was the scene of bloody fight yesterday morning about 10 o'clock. At this hour MT. Earle Perkins, an insurance agent, walked into the Star office and asked MT. Len Button, editor and proprietor of the paper, if he was responsible for an editorial that ap- peared in Sundays paper. The editor re- piled that he was, and with this Perkins hit him sumner, which knocked him half through a window. He then knocked Button down and began pounding him severely.
 Finally Button got the upper hand of Perkins and succeeded in getting in few stunning blows. There were four or five persons in the office at the time, but kept hands off while the two combatants fought 1t out.
 The contest was a pretty lively one and blood flowed profusely from the heads of both parties.
 The fight ended with honors about equal, although the editor quit on top.
 Both parties were put under bond for their appearance in recorders court this morning.
 The cause of the fight was an editorial which questioned the democracy of Col. G. w. Hewitt.
 Perkins is a stepson of Colonel Hewitt.

A warrant was sworn out for Dial, but he fled. He ventured back, however, and today Jackson met him in the road in company with a small boy. The boy had a gun and Jackson rushed up and seized the gun before Dial could get 1t. Jackson leveled the gun on Dial, but the latter used the boy as shield. Finally the boy broke loose from Dial and Jackson pulled the trigger, sending load of buck shot int to Dial's shoulder. It is thought Dial will die. Jackson has surrendered, He IS justified by public sentiment.

mr.. GORMAN ON THE TARIFF.

Mr.. President We are nearing the end.
After twenty years Of political progress,
OF positive growth, Of constant develop
ment, and OF universal enlightenment, the
Democratic party and the American peo-
pie are within sight Of the promised land.
Emancipation Is at hand--emancipation
from partisan oppression, from the greed
OF classes, from extortion, from wilful ex.
travagance, from financial fantasy, from
spoils, from restrictions upon individual
liberty. from jingoism; from al those evils.
n brief. which the Democratic party irhcr-
tied as hateful legacy from three decades
of Republican maladmin;straiion. Years
of arduous labor by uuselfish and patriotic
men cannot count for nothing. Fruition
is as inevitable as fate And I repeat: Il
Is near as hand.
1t is not surprising that the delay in &C
complaining this great purpose has been q
source Of disappointment with the people.
Somucb more was expected from the Dem.
ocratic party than had ever been wrung
from the Republican party that time could
hardly be conceded for even that prelimi-
nary consideration which all thoughtful
men knew to be essential to satisfactory
results. But every Senator In this chamber
Is well aware, and every candid student of
political history must admit, that such de-
lay as we have had, deplorable though it
has been and is. was i'm fact. as unavoidable
as that which will be caused by the per-
functory calling of the roll at the end. II
was natural to desire and easy to demand
prompt fulfillment of the party's pledges.
But there existed in this instance, as have
existed In ell such cases since legislation
began, conditions which could not be ig-
nored.
No political organization ever faced
more trying situation than that which con-
fronted the Democratic party upon its re-
sumption OF power after thirty years of op-
position. The millions of American citi-
zens who participated in the political rev.
olution of 1902 represented no single class
and stand for no single prejudice. They
were mighty army, comprising divisions
of Democratic veterans, bngades of inde-
pendent citizens who had served their time
In the Republican party, and regiments Of
young men actuated by education, reason
and patriotism. The victory achieved.
these many diverse elements became not

TARIFF F BILL CHANGES
Democratic Members of Committee Have
Il, Finished Their Work
Changes Made in ScheduIes-Hawai
to BE Left AlOne-TO BE Reported
to Committee.

The democratic members Of the Senate
committee on finance have completed their
work on the tariff BILL and will submit
the changes which they have made from
the bill as drafted by the subcommittee at
a meeting of the full committee to be held
this afternoon. The principal change which
they have made in this bill is in the sugar
schedule, and that has been modified SO
to take into account the color as well
as the polarization of sugar. The change
made will add one-eighth of a cent per
pound on the color test, so as to insure
to the refiner this much protection. This
is in accordance with the original inten-
ton of the committee, but it has been
claimed that the bill as at first reported
to the full committee would discriminate
against the retihers.
1t is not known as yet at what point the
change in sugar rates will be made.
To AbrOgate the Reciprocity Treaties.
1t is also understood that the bill will be
amended so as to make positive declaration
for the .abrogation of the reciprocity treaties
made under the Mckinley act. This will be
done simply to satisfy the sugar men and
leave no doubt as to the intention OF the
bill in this respect, and not because the
democratic members of the committee have
any doubt that the bill as it now stands
would accomplish this purpose.
1t is also probable that the clause in the
bill abrogating the Hawaiian treaty will be
struck out. There has been some contention
among the democratic members on this
score, and two or three votes have been
taken upon proposition to strike it out, a
majority at first opposing this change. The
principal argument which has been made
for 1t has been based upon the ground of
eXpediency, and Ii has been urged that if II
should be permitted to remain. ii would
be the means of introducing the Hawaiian
complications into the tariff discussion. All
have agreed that this should be avoided If
possible, without surrendering too much.
and the latest reliable statement is that. this
argument has won and that the amendment
will be stricken out.
Domestic Cigars.
These together with the restoration of the
present law regarding the tax on DOMESTIC
cigars, will be the principal changes made.
The lead ore duty and whisky tax, as well
as the duty placed upon coal and iron ore
will remain as placed in the bill by the
democratic members. There will be a few
changes in the fruit schedule and some
minor articles which were taken from The
free list and made dutiabe will be restored
to the free list. The bill, when 1t next sees
the light, will also show several changes in
the administrative part of the bill, and the
amendment inserted by the democratic MEM
berS Of the committee providing for the re-
peal of the entire Mckinley act will be
modified so either to specify what por-
tons of that act shall remain in force or &c
repeal the parts in conflict with the pend
ing act.
