Senator Prootor's Pronheov.

| Senator Proctor has made a notable
| speech in the Senate this week. He
speaks from the standpoint of a bust
ness man, therefore his opinions as to
the pending clause in the mongrel tariff
bill, relating to our trade with Canada,
has greater weight than that of doc
trinaire We find his remarks summar-
lied in the daily press in these words:
The consideration of the tariff bill was
then proceeded with, and Mr.. Proctor
spoke against the tariff bill, addressing
himself particularly to its effect upon
trade relations with the rest of the Amer
ican hemisphere, and its bearing upon
the Canadian question.
He said that the products of the Span
ish-American republics are unlike ours.
and liberal trade relations with those
countries would help our producers and
strengthen the ties of friendship between
the different parts of Independent Ameri-
ca. Canada's product, however, are the
same as our own. Reciprocity with the
Spanish-American republics was posi-
BILE, but with Canada impossible.
Politically, Canada, if not a menace,
was at least nuisance to the United
States. There was no reason, political
or commercial, why she should be espe-
cially favored in our tariff legislation
and t could not be done except to the
detriment of our home products. This
bill proposed, however, to discriminate
against our sister republics, which so es-
pecially deserved our consideration, and
in favor of a British colony, which de-
served it so little.
Mr.. Proctor declared that almost every
disagreeable international complication,
with which this country had been bur-
dened for years, had grown out of Can
ada. We could get along all right with
Canada as an independent power; but as
British dependency she was and would
be perpetual cause of irritation and
possible serious trouble.
Mr.. Proctor intimated that Canada
must in time become independent or a
part of the American Union, and he re-
ferred to the preparations which Great
Britain is making on this continent
against the contingency of a wal, which,
If it ever came, would end British juris-
diction on this continent forever.
Mr.. ProctoIesaid he did not believe in
discriminating against Canada in our
tariff legislation to force her to some de-
sired result. He believed, however, that
our relations with her require us not to
legislate in her interest and against our
selves. This bill, besides its gifts to
Canada favored British interests in many
other ways at the expense of eur own
people and would do more than anything
else which has occurred within the pres
ent generation to perpetuate British
power on this continent.

Senator Hill has given the Bourbon de
mocracy another unpleasant dose to swal-
low. Under the guise of rising to point
of order, as to whether the report of the
special committee to investigate the
charges of fraud and the sugar trust
scandal, was privileged motion or
not, he managed to give the Finance
Committee of the Senate vigorous thrusts.
The special committee reported that the
newspaper reporters would not tell where
they got their information, and it was
expected the matter of whether the con-
sideration of their alleged contempt was
privileged and took precedence. Mr..
| Hill thought the way to investigate the
| charges was to ask the witnesses named
by the reporters. He caused laughter by
| saying: II owe no favors to newspapers"
He said it was immaterial whence the
| newspaper writer obtained his informa
| ton, the point was to get at the facts.
Why not call the Senators, if necessary,
and swear them without exception. No
body objects to the committee finding
out all that they can, but why persecute
a newspaper writer instead of calling
witnesses those who were charged with
speculation Mr.. IIill's questions were
so pertinent that Senator Gray made a
by comparing the investigation to a Cor
oners inquiry. Mr.. Hill argued that
court trial and legislative investigation
were entirely different. The latter might
| admit and inquire into hearsay evidence.
The newspaper men clearly had the right
not to answer the questions. "Get at the
truth, and don't go around the barn to
do it," exclaimed Mr. Hill. Summon
the Senators who are accused, and let
them tell what they know. Instead of
this the committee stopped in its task
and sought to compel correspondents to
answer questions. If any correspondent
had printed story about himself reflect
ing upon my personal honor, and then
had declined to give the source of his in
formation, l should expect the commit
tee to summon me to testify in my own
Defense" The investigation has got be-
yOnd control in the direction which Dem
ocratic Senators might have wished to
restrict it, and some of them are said to
be badly frightened.

The wholesale discharge of clerks, for
which Secretary Lamont has so long
been preparing, took place in the War
Department Tuesday, nearly 300 en-
ployees receiving notices that their SER
vices were no longer required. Many
were also notified that they would be
allowed pay until various dates in June,
on account of regular leaves of absence.
Nearly 100 vacancies had already been
created in the records and pension office,
and the total contemplated reduction of
the force, numbering 500, is about ac
complished, although it is expected that
% or 80 more vacancies will be created
by the end of the fiscal year. Of the
discharges, 13 were from the secretary's s
Office, 200 from that of records and pen
sions, while the adjutant general lost 80
clerks and the surgeon general 10. The
secretary will next turn his attention to
sending back to their regiments half the
regular army officers now on duty in
the department These discharges
amount to one-Sixth of the entire force
of the department.

claring that it, of right, belongs wholly
to the people of the Hawaiian islands to
establish and maintain their own form Of
government and domestic polity; that
the United States ought not, in any way,
to Interfere Herewith; and that any in
tervention in the political affairs of those
islands by any other government would
be regarded as an act unfriendly to the
United States. The vote was taken bv
ayes and nays, and the result was an
nounced as ayes So, nays 0. Mr.. Mills

Do the people of the United States
comprehend the full meaning and intend
ed result of the alliance between the
Sugar Trust and the Bourbons of the
United States Senator The secret
which is no longer a secret-of that un-
derstanding is that the enactment of the
Senate bill, with its sugar schedules,
would enable the Sugar Trust to make
from eighty to one hundred millions of
dollars clear profit out of the people of
the United States simply by purchasing
and importing two years raw sugar be-
fore January 1st, 1895. Mr.. Edwin f.
Atkins, one of the most prominent sugar
refiners of New England, has kindly ex-
planned how this can be done. This
years sugar crop, he says, is more than
six millions of tons, and the United
States consumes about 100000 tons.
The Sugar Trust can easily buy up two
years supply, while the United States
would be deprived for two years of all
revenue from raw sugar duties. The
passage of the mongrel bill with the
sngar schedule means present of eighty
millions of dollars to the Trust at the ex-
pense of the American people.

This Congress seems to be willing to
allow the Rebel war claims, that have
been pending, 10, all these years. Con-
trary to popular opinion the claims ag-
gregate an immense sum, S607, ZOO, 900, it
is said. This is colossal amount to
now pay for damages alleged to have
been suffered by Rebels during the war.
1t is startling fact that there are now
pending before the United States Court
OF Claims cases involving total amount
OF S4OO,OOO,O00, and that there are before
the Executive Department Southern pri-
Vate war claims aggregating Sal, 100000
more, and State claims representing
about, 2O,OOO,000. These impressive fig
ures do not include claims for the refund
OF the cotton tax, amounting to some
$50, 0OO, 900, bill to allow which passed
the last Democratic House of Represent
atives, or claims of about S11 900, 900 on
the fund arising from the sale Of cap
tured and abandoned property now held
IN the Treasury. Contrary to popular
impression, also, the claimants are no
longer required to prove their loyalty.
