From the New York Post Ipdl.

IIULH IHU NEW I OTN FoSt IInd.).
Everybody signs with relief that the dear
old Senate has at last pulled itself together
and actually voted on the tariff, but both the
Senate and the bill are much the worse for
having kept company for five months The
Senate has made new re ord for itself in
the way of stupid incapacity, and this time
with suspicion of personal corruption
thrown in generously, while the bill enjoys to
the fun the scriptural blessing of being i'll
spoken of by all men.

1t is said that about all of the ''shys-

President Debs for permission to defend
him when he shall have been arrested.
The pestilent little fellows are seeking
the notoriety that will accrue to the at
torney for the man who tied up the rail
roads of a continent and stopped the
wages of half million men. So impor-
tunate had the lawyers got even three
days ago that Debs set up blackboard in
his Office and told the Office boy to let at
torneys seeking to be retained write their
names and addresses on the board. And
in a few minutes the board was full.

The common sense of the people will saw
that the new democratic tariff is fair bill n
reasonable tiil in its general features, a bin
under which industry can live and the people
enjoy relief from present burdens This is
not saying that the present bill is perfect.
The changes to be made in conference com

1t is gratifying to note that the repub-
can papers of Chicago have been talking
through their hats about President
Cleveland for the past three years, and es-
pecially since he has been in the executive
chair at Washington. Now that stu
alton has arisen which requires firmness
of purpose, thorough appreciation for
the rights of the people and mental ca
pacity of a high order, they unhesita-
tingly give him credit for being emil
nently qualified to direct a solution Of
the difficulties. There is no politics in
the strike: it is business and in consider
ing the exigencies of the situation the
republican papers pay tributes to the
Presidents ability and honesty of pur-

The city of Baltimore is testing in the
courts the validity of the inebriate law
passed by the last legislature, which pro
vides that a habitual drunkard who is a
pauper and has lived six months in the
state can be sent for treatment TO a
Kelley institute, and that the expenses.
up to 800, shall be paid by the city or
county in which the drunkard resides
a law somewhat similar was enacted in
Michigan. but il had been in operation
only short time when it was declared
purposes fighting the matter 10 the court
Of last resort, if necessary. If the law
were held constitutional that city might
become the Mecca of drunkards from all
over the country who might desire to try
the Kelley cure. The short time Of resi-
deuce required would virtually open the
doors of all the Maryland cities to the dip
somaniacs of the country, with an invita-
ton to enter and get the benefit of
charity fund. 1t may be desirable to re-
form all of the drunkards, but Baltimore
aud the other Maryland cities do not
want to pay the expenses Of it.

With the exception of Colorado, South
Carolina and Florida, so far this year,
have built more railroad track than any
of the other states. Colorado has built
"A miles since January, South Carolina so
miles and Florida As miles. The largest
extension of a system so far made this
year was in South Carolina made by the
Atlantic Coast Line The next was in
Florida, made by the Jacksonville, ST
Augustine and Halifax River. There has
been very little building going on for six
months, the Railway Age putting the to-
tai for the whole country at 525 miles.
Senator Henderson is preparing a bill
to pension the families of the treasury
department clerks who lost their lives in
the Ford theater disaster last year. He
thinks s., 600 would be about the proper
sum to be given to each family. If the
men had been killed by the collapse of a
building owned by private parties, the
senator thinks their families could have
obtained damages in any court. Twenty
clerks were killed outright in the collapse,
and four died afterward from injuries re-
ceived, so that it would require an appro-
priatiou of S120,0 to carry out the sena-

THE TAX.

Deputy Internal Revenue Collector Lar
gent Will Soon Send Oout Blanks.
The rich men of Great Falls will soon
have a disagreeable request from Uncle
Sans officials to furnish him with a
sworn statement Of the amount of their
annual income. All incomes Of s4,OOO
or over per annum from salaries, money
at interest, or any other source will be
subject to the tax. For example, il a
man has a salary Of $1,000 and receives
rent, or interest, or any other outside in.
come to the amount Of $1,000 additional
it brings him inside the law and be will
have to pay Uncle Sam 2 per cent on the
amount.
Deputy Collector Largent states that
the blanks for his district, which in
cludes Cascade, Meagher, Fergus, Teton,
Valley, Cnoteau, Flathead, and all of
Lewis q Clarke outside of the city Of
Helena, will Don be sent out. A special
deputy will be employed to collect the
tax. Secretary Carlisle will ask for a
special appropriation for this purpose at
this session Of congress and about
March l the wealthy cattIeman, bonanza
miLe owner, banker, and money loaner
will be called on to "pungIe up" He
says there are a good many more people
10 his district who are liable to the tax
than would at first be supposed, but
would not make any estimate of the
number at this time.

Marshal P"ntent Leaves for M%issoula tt
Bring II Bad Man Back.
Marshal Pontet left yesterday for Mis-
soula in response to advices from the
police department Of that city to the
effect that they had a prisoner there
who was wanted in Great Falls on a
more serious charge. The mar referred
to is Patrick Fitzgibbone, who is charged
with burglary liz this city, committed
some weeks g 1t appears that be
broke into a residence on the West side
and stole $40 in cash, a coonskin coat, a
valise, and a new suit of clothes and
managed TO get out of town on a freight
before the loss was reported to the police
here. They suspected him strongly of
the theft, however, and sent his name and
description to various cities in Montana.
The marshal at Deer Lodge first learned
OF his arrest at Miesoula, where he com
mitted some petty larceny and was CON-
mitted for 3days, and notified them for
what he was wanted in Great Falls. The
authorities at Missoula stated that thew
were willing to suspend the balance of
his sentence 80 that Marshal Pontet
could bring him here to answer to tho
eraver, crime, and he accordingly left
yesterday, and his prisoner will be re-
leased at Missoula only, however, to
jump out of the frying pan into the fire.

for the retirement Of officers in the serv.

or physical or mental disabilities. NAL
Tory, English and Covert supported the
bill, but it was sntagonized by Clark of
Missouri, who deliberately avowed his
intention Of talking it to death. Clark's
speech was characteristic, humorous and
audacious to the point of se%nsationalism
and it kept the house in a confusion of
laughter, cheers and jeers. The morning
hour expired without action and Brown
of Maryland gave notice that Thursday
next he would call up the contested
election cases of Williams vs.. Settle. The
house then resumed consideration Of
the railroad pooling bill.
