Whisky aud Sugar.

WASHINGTON CRY, March j.--The
Wilson tariff bill was the subject of ear
nest consultation among the senators
to-day. 1t has reached certain stage
Of completeness, and it is generally un-
derstood that il a definite agreement
could be reached on sugar it would then
be possible to agree upon everything
else. 1t is understood that the demands
made by the democratic senators who
opposed the bill in the form IN which it
was first presented have been met and
tentatively agreed upon, but even these
agreements are subject to the approval
of the treasury department and the
needs of the government in the matter
of revenue. Secretary Carlisle has been
with the committee most of the day and
again this evening to discuss and com

tariffmakers have to contend with. 1t
appears also that the proposition for an
increased tax on whisky is mixed uf
with the proposed duty on sugar. Il
the latter is agreed to the necessity fol
an increased whisky tax disappears. l,
is understood that the committee bas
also been giving attention to the tobacco
schedule in theinternal revenue bill dur

commissioner was before them to make
suggestions concerning rates and the

Parker viii ptSd To. Day.

George S. Parker was arraigned in the
superior court at 10 o'clock last Tuesday,
on the information arging him with
the murder of A. b. Cooper, says the
Commoner.
Judge Sullivan appointed as attorneys
for the defendant, f. NJ. Ellsworth and
j. 7. Brown, and set Friday, March 9th,
at l O'Clock p. m, as the prisoners time
to plead. Parker looks like the person
ification of distrust. He steered his eyes
about the court house, in the manner OF
watch dog, and seemed to spend his
time while he sat before the bench in
studying the faces OF those about him.
After reading the informatio , Prose-
cutting Attorney Pickrell turned to the
prisoner and asked, els George S. Park
er your true nameP'
The defendant simply observed,
chats the name l 90 by"
"Is that your true name?" repeated
the prosecutor.
"That name will do, said Parker, and
it probably will.
Ever since his Incarceration, Parker
has preserved an implacable silence as to
the crime he is alleged to have commit
ted. His attorneys Will doubtless make
a strong fight for him against the cir
cumstantial evidence that now binds
him in.

IT seems the Maryland Democrats
are still heavily jumping on Senator
German, but he is an awfully haro
man to pound into the earth. He vir-
tually owns two or three of the largest
wards in Baltimore, and when he car
ries Baltimore he virtually controls
the state. German is known every
where as most skillful politician, and
his fine Italian hand is at its best
when carving out personal victory
among his home people. 1t is his poll
itical shrewdness and by no means his
craftsmanship that has made Germans
name famous after its kind.

EZETA'S SCHEMES.

Will'Organize An Army in Mexico and
Invade San salvador.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 25.-Tne in
terest of President Diaz of Mexico in
Ezeta is said to be due to MexicO's der
sire for the formation of a general re-
public of Central American countries,
hoping that it would end revolutions
which iDjure commerce and retard de
velOpment.
"Ezeta intends to get aid from the
Mexican government to regain his
prestige in San Salvador" said Col.
onel Cisnfucgoes, who talked about
the matter today. Most of his old
soldiers will turn to his standard, for
he is confident that he can overthrow
his enemies. A revolution in San
Salvador is always welcome and the
Poop will fight for Ezeta when they
get the chance. But the general will
go well prepared and when he enters
San Salvador he will be at the head of
troops enough 10 force his way as he
desires. President Diaz of Mexico will
support Ezsta as far as he can. and
there is no DOUBT that all the circum-
stances are in his favor. The people
in Mexico thoroughly understand San
SalvadOran affairs and they believe in
the cause of Ezeta.
"If the general succeeds in this cam
paign Which he proposes TO carry on
vigorously Immediately after his ar.
rival in MeXicC) the result will prob
ably be the organization of one COM

lean states, Unfortunately Guate-

NEW Works. NEXT GOVERNOR

The Associated Press yesterday in~
dcated a decided boom in New York
for ex Secretary Whitney for governor.
The Democracy of that state could not
do wiser thing. Mr., Whitney is
every inch man and worthy of such
high place as governor of New
York Nor should the Democracy of
that state forget that it is laying a
predicate for the presidential contest
two years from now. For while it is
most unfortunate that one state
should have such extreme power as
New York has i'll our national pc
ltical contests, yet while that fact res
mains true, the Democracy of the state
should take no chances of defeat sc
close to the presidential canvass
And if New York is again to name
the head of the ticket The STATES,
MAN knows no man from the old En-
pire state it would rather see in the
White House than w. g. Whitney
He it was who made the great fight
for Cleveland two years ago, and to
him Democracy owes very great deal.
He is a thorough gentleman, man
OF culture, and his political methods
have always been clean. The Democ-
racy of New York cannot do better
than nominate him for governor-he
would lead them in winning race,
