THE protectionists are resorting TO
all conceivable means at their disposal
by which to prevent or delay the pas
sage of any bill that will reduce their
profits, and consequently, the cost of
living. Their latest move in this di-
rection is to charge the friends of the
tariff bill in the Senate with speculatjn !,
upon the result Of their own legislation.
First it was that they had profited i'm
mensely by fluctuations in sugar stocks,
and now il is that the proposed in
creased tax on whisky will make them
millionaires. 1t is is to be hoped that
tariiT reformers will not be dishearted
by any such vain tricks, but that, on
the contrary. they may be stimulated
by them to speed their work as rapidly
as possible, so that the bill may be
passed before the next congressional
elections,

A reckless disregard of the laws of
health stamps the character of many a
man. This temerity crops out on every
occasion. You can never make such
man understand that q cough is pre-
monition of consumption and standing
menace to his life. The stages are first
the ordinary cough, then the stubborn,
hacking cough and last consumption.
Let him heed the friendly warning
and learn to cure the affection at its first
stage with DR.. Bulls Cough Syrup.

Lucretia Clay. He appealed to my in

manner that my confidence in him re-

exactly lovemaking. When we return

to her answers on this subject Saturday
and he wanted to know particularly
about whether she had read any impure
books.
Here Judge Wilson, of Miss Pollard's
counsel, interfered.
Major Butterworth said that as the
plaintiff has in every possible way put
forward the claim of the purity of hel
character, his questions were the SOU
of this issue.
Mr.. Butterworth asked Miss Pollard
if she knew certain persons-Dr. Green
Mr.. Stout, Aleck Julian and others in
Bridgeport, Ky. She said she did not
know any of them except Aleck Julian
and G. B. Roach. Julian, she said, was
the man she referred to in the Wessie
Brown letter as my blind sweetheart,

school teacher and she liked him very

Repairs-GeneraI Washington News
The Bond Issue Discussed in the Senate
More of B1ount's Statements De-
clared To Be Untrue.
Washington, January 3o.-The House
very promptly went into committee OF
the whole today to consider the tariff
bill.
Mr.. Pigott, Democrat of Connecticut,
in speaking of the income tax, said it
was the duty of Congress to provide the
country with sufficient revenue to cover
the deficit caused by the Mckinley law.
He suggested that as soon as the country
tided over it's difficulties, the operations
of the law be suspended and suggested
that the operations of this bill be limited
to three years.
Mr.. Walker, Republican of Massachu-
setts, spoke in opposition to the income
tax bill. The men who would be
reached by the income tax. he SAID, were
only such men as those who controlled
manufacturing and transportation indus
ing the resources and wealth of the
country. They were men who were
making the country worth living in. In
doing so they benefited the poor man
more tn an themselves, for no man could
accumulate fortune who did not serve
his fellowmen a thousand times more
than he served himself He maintained
that even under existing circumstances,
the taxes were paid by the rich and not
by the poor By::attempJing to tax the rich
and exempt the poor. the poor were stuck
every time. Mr.. Walker said the bill gave
the tax collector power that no judge
III the country possessed.
Mr.. Cochran, Democra. of New York,
said that while he and those who agreed
with him on this question were Wiling
to vote for a bill for revenue only, they
had been asked to add to q revenue bill
an income tax, special tax to be levied
on $50, 900 people out of 65, 900, 900. 1t
was proposed to deliberately create tax
class. He regarded the proposition as
blow at the fundamental principle on
whicn the government was founded, ana
as an entering wedge in condltlon
which would ultimately result IN the
disfranchisement of large number of
American citizens. He reviewed the
arguments he gave in his speech few
weeks ago, in which he showed that the
reduction of the tariff would result in an
increase of revenue. He stated that he
had always believed the duty OF this
people to be to support the government
by a tariff levied for revenue only.
the House took a recess. AT the night
session, Mr.. Coobs, Democrat OF New
York, appealed to the committee on ways
and means to withdraw the Wilson bill
and revise it. Several other speeches
were made.

sends word, by way of Montevideo, that
the captains of American merchant ships
in Rio bay are jubilant over the prompt
action taken in their behalf by Admiral
Benham, and they contrast it sharply
with Capt. Picking's course towards
them.
While boats from an American mer-
chairman were running out lines TINS
morning, in order to haul their snip up
to the wharf, the rebel warships IraJano
and Suanabara fired shower OF bullets
at them
Admiral Benham promptly signaled
the Detroit, and she at once steamed IN
toward shore, clearing for action as she
came, and warning the rebel ships Ghat
Admiral Benham would not permit any
interference with ships flying the Amerl-
can flag, thus upholding Minister
Thompson's views, previously stated.
The United States cruiser New YORK
also cleared for action and steamed close
to the Aquidaban and the Tamandare,
where she dropped anchor, while with
ing an hour the rest of the American
ships had called their crews to quarters
1t is now inferred that the English are
ready to join in this vigorous course,
and it is believed:that Admiral Benham's
action will result in another conference
of the foreign naval commanders here for
plan of concerted action. Admiral
Saldanha da Cana has already been in
formed that lighters loaded with Amer,
can merchandise will be protected, ana
that American vessels will he allowed to
go to and from any part of the harbor
without being fred on, and that if
mbardment is to be begun at any
time, forty-eight hours notice must be
given by either side in order that foreign
merchantmen may get out of the line of
fire.
In view of this determined action of
the foreign naval commanders, da Cana,
it is thought by many, may now attempt
to go south and join Mello.
It is said that the English minister
here is inclined to recognize da Canals
forces as belligerents, but the conference
of foreign diplomats here will simply
pursue the old line with regard to the
protection of the property of foreigners
afoat in the bay.
