A Third Class City.

1t looks as if our sister city of Win
chester thinks she is outgrowing her
neighbors, and is bent upon finding
other company. We note the follow
ing special sent to some of tie dailies
under date of February 3.
cit dawned upon the people of Win
chester this morning that the city had
grown too big for her trousers, and
was eligible to have charter OF a city
of the third class, along with only five
other cities in the State. A special
census has just been taken, which
shows a population of S,435, and the
Council in regular session last night
passed resolution asking our Repre-,
sentative and Senator in the Legisla
ture to introduce and support a bill
admitting Winchester to the third
class cities.

The Wilson Tariff Bill passed
House on Tuesday by the signifi-
cant vote Of 2O4 to lao. A large
crowd filled the galleries to see the
end Of this memorable struggle.
y few Dem acrats deserted their
colors and went over to the enemy,
but in the main the men Of any
real standing in the party voted
for the measure.
1t will be remembered that the
bill carries with it the income tax
feature. Chairman Wilson closed
the debate for the Democratic side
and Tom Reed, of Maine, for the
Republicans. The Bill must now
run the gauntlet of the Senate.

The Louisville General COUNCIL
Friday night adopted resolution ex-
tending a cordial invitation to the
Grand Army of the Republic to hold
next years encampment in that CITY.
The general impression seems to be
that Southern city will be selected
and Louisville's admirable location
and adequate hotel accommodations
should by all means bring the meeting
there. Atlanta is also making Wig
orors fight, and has enlisted the SER
vices of TWO prominent Republican
newspapers at Chicago.

the very best things to do when a Re-

to have a trust company to attend to

no wonder that the Courier-Journal is
opposed TO Judge Beckner's bill before

There will be very few, if any
more, witnesses before the Senate
Hawaiian investigation committee.
Senator Morgan, Chairman Of the
committee, says that so far as he
knows there will be no others sum-
mOned; that there might, however,
be other persons in the country
whom members of the committee
would desire to have called, but
the number would not be large :;
and he felt justified in saying that
the hearings were drawing to a
close. The investigation consum-
ed good deal more time than was
at first contemplated. 1t is not
probable that the committee will
arrive at any conclusion for sew

A Day Of 0ratory and Excitement.
Chairman Wilson Carried to the
Cloak Room on The ShOul-
ders Of Democrats.
A Great Crowd Invades the House

"This roll-call will be entered not
alone upon the minutes of this
House; it will be inscribed in the
history of the country and in the
annals Of freedom everywhere"
"The roll-call upon this bill will
be the roll Of honor, the roll of
freedom and in the name of honor,
in the name of freedom. / summon
every Democratic member Of this
House to answer to this call"
With these triumphant words
spoken by VIM. L. Wilson, of West
Virginia, official leader of the Dem
ocrats in the House of Representa-
tives, closed the debate upon the
tariff reform bill.
The total vote shows 204 for the
bill, 140 against it. The vote was
1876 Democrats, s Populists for the
bill: 122 Republicans, IL Demo
Gratis and 1 Populist, against the
bill
1t is not every day that the
House passes a tariff bill. 1t is
not every day that the giants of
both parties meet on the floor Of
the House to speak for common
cause and participate in a wordy
warfare. 1t is not every day that
votes are taken on great measures.
The Capitol on last Thursday,
with the Wilson bill about to be
voted upon, with the speeches of
the leaders of both sides promised,
became the mecca for all Washing
ton. SO the great army of unem-
ployed made rush for the great
building on the hill. The corri-
doris and galleries were packed and
jammcd before 10 o'clock, and by
Ii o'clock it was estimated that
there were 10000 people in the
House wing of the Capitol.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Will
sons speech he was carried from
the chamber to the cloak room on
the shoulders of loyal Democrats.
The bill will now go to the SEN
ate, where it is likely to be tore up
considerably; but it is believed
that it will be all the better and
more far reaching when it passes
the Senate. Now, let the good
work go on, and let the Senate
pass this bill as soon as possible,
in order that the people will feel
the good effects before another
hard winter overtakes them, and
relieve distress and hunger thereby.

RIGHTING A WRONG.

The Democratic factional fight in Buf-
falo would have very little interest for
people outside that city but for the fact
that Gov. Sheehan, the leader OF
one of the factions, has assumed a die
tatorship over the State Democracy and
has used his official position to promote
his personal ends against the public in
terests.
When Mr.. Sheehan sneaked through
the Legislature bills which reversed the
decision of the voters OF Buffalo in their
municipal election, violated the Demo-
cratic principle OF home rule and seized
control of the police directly denied him
by the electors, he made not only the
citizens of Erie County but the people
Of the whole State his opponents.
Retribution came upon him from his
own city and county last November
when every candidate OF his faction run
ming for office was defeated at the ballot
box. His punishment by the people OF
the State was commenced last week by
the passage In the Assembly OF bills
repeating all the shameless partisan laws
he secured by undue means a year ago.
These bill should not meet any OBJ
struction In the Senate. The more
prompt the rebuke the safer the State
will be against SheehanIsm in the future.
According TO present prospects, Daven-
portism will reach its last stage at 4
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon. That Is
the hour set by the Senate for voting on
the Federal Election Law Repeal bill.
After the vote is taken, the senate will
be at liberty to 20 on with the Tariff
bill and amendments. II the Upper
Chamber at Washington can be induced
to regard public interests as Of the first
importance, even in the presence of Sen
atorial dignity and tradition, 1t will cx-
pedite tn" Wilson measure and shut

to tangle and delay this needed legisla-

bucket and walked out without saying a
