Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-There was
most sensational report about the hotel cor
ridors this morning in regard TO a threat
ened encounter between a well-known
Southern Senator and David b. Hill. The
rumor has it that this Democratic Senator,
whose seat is very near that of the New
Yorker, and whose reputation for fighting
Is we'll known, intends to pick quarrel
with Mr.. Hill at the first opportunity and
use this as excuse to injure, If not to
do something worse to, the author or the
great speech which has so engrossed the
public attention for the last few days. The
trouble is on account Of this selfsame
speech. The Democratic Senator, who is
Boosting of his intentions, has taken the
speech as a personal and party insult, and
considers himself constituted to be the de-
fender of the Democratic party. He claims
that every word of the speech is q. blow at
Democracy, the South and the representa-
tives thereof. The Senator himself is not.
nor has he been known hitherto as a de-
fender of the administration, but his sud
den zeal in the defense of the tariff bill is
put down as a desire to defend some of
the trusts protected by the iniqutous bill.
Whether those threats made in hotel cor
ridors will amount to anything no one can
tell. But that they are noised about and
commented on to-day is beyond question.
If, however, the Southern Senator thinks
that he will have an easy opponent in Sem
ator Hill he will find himself mistaken
While the New Yorker does not pose as a
professional pugilist nor as seeker after
fistic fame, he, nevertheless, has record
for self-defense. Senator Hill bears on his
neck scar, the result of a brutal attempt
at assassination. AT that time he used his
good right arm as well as he used his
strong voice on Monday, and should the
belligerent Southerner attack him now he
will find Senator Hill foeman worthy of
his STEEL Sober second thought may, how
ever, bring the Southern Democratic Sem
ator to his senses, and the tariff bill fight
may yet be fought out In the Senate and
not In the arena

THE TEN-DoLLAR DEMOCRACY.

1t is entirely within the bounds of safe
assertion to say that no more ridiculous
proposition was ever made in any parlia-
mentary body than that by which the DEM
ocrats of the House propose to create a
quorum. All parliamentary bodies have
some means of obtaining a quorum, the
most obvious being to compel the attend
ance of absentees and to count members
who are present. but decline to vote. The
latter was the rule adopted by the Fifty
cellent results by Speaker Reed. Every
body remembers what great outcry the
Democrats raised about the enforcement
OF this rule and how quickly they
pealed it when they got a majority. But
now they need a quorum. and need it bad.
Although they have a large majority in
the House a considerable part of the
sion has been wasted in trying to get a
quorum. Under the Reed rule they could
make W. for Democratic absentees by
counting Republicans present and not vot-
ing. but they repealed the Reed rule and
are ashamed to re-enact II. So they re-
sort to police court methods and propose
that, whenever a member who is present
in the House shall fail to vote when his
name is called. and whenever a member is
absent without leave, he shall be fined SO.
They will not make a quorum by counting
members who are present and not voting.
but will fine them $40 for each and every
offense. This attempt to measure princi-
Piles by dollars and cents and to express
parliamentary law in terms of money val
ue is worthy of a party which was ready
to go to war in defense of the doctrine
that a member who is present and not
voting is not present at ALL The proposed
ten-dollar rule assumes. first, that no men,
Der Of the House can have a principle
worth more than ten dollars, and. second,
it would give every member the privilege
of disregarding a rule of the House as
many times as he pleased at the rate of
SO for each offense. And this ridiculous
proposition was reported by a Democratic
committee on rules. with the approval of
a Democratic Speaker

lantic to the Pacific. and another from the

The dark clouds would roll away and be

gestion is worthy of it's source. The army
of unemployed. or those who really desire
employment, do not ask the government
TO engage in railroad building in order to
give them work. All they ask is that the
Democratic party will take its foot off the
neck of the Industries Of the country so
they may get their old jobs back. AS Sen
ator PETER expects to vote for the Wilson
bill, perhaps he can explain why the gov
eminent should provide employment for
those who have been robbed Of it by the
Democratic party.

INDIANA INTERESTS BETRAYED.

The census tables for 1890 show that S132,-
diana. employing 124.S49 persons. who were
paid $5l.749.976 as wages, producing goods
valued at s22s. Sc. Os2 made from materials
which cost Sl9O.1l9.106. If the census bad
been taken In January. 1898, the totals
would have been much larger because of
the rapid growth of industries in the gas
belt during these years. When the free
trade paralysis fell upon the industries of
the country no State in the Union was
making more satisfactory progress therein
than was Indiana.
A few days since the Journal published
the census statistics of each industry in
the State. They were very important facts
for those who believe in Indiana and it's
resources. The list Of industries began
with the manufacture of agricultural i'm
PIGMENTS. They show that in this impor-
tant industry 1884 persons were employed
in 1880, receiving $l,765,637 as wages, using
S2,306,039 worth of materials, the product of
other labor. and producing s., 756,131 in
goods. This industry has paid unusually
high wages-an average of $500 year for
all grades of employees. The duty on this
class OF goods has kept out the competition
which would have sprung up in other coun-
tries particularly Canada. The Wilson bill
puts agricultural implements on the free
list, which means that Canada, just over
the border, with its cheaper labor. shall
have free competition for the markets Sc
cured to Indiana by the Mckinley law.
Not only that. but the articles out of which
agricultural implements are made pay a
duty. while the finished product is free.
Take another article-"lumber and other
mill products from logs or bolts" In 1890
1882 people engaged in this industry
earned si.773,752 in wages, giving value
to s1O5sS.376 worth of material. and turn
ing out products valued at $19,96 ,293 This
class of products is moderately protected
now, but under the Wilson bill Canada is
admitted to our markets on equal terms
with the Indiana producer of lumber. Still
another article-''fiour and grist mill prod
ucts." The product of the Touring and
other mills in Indiana which turn wheat
corn. oats and other cereals into a score
of food products aggregated $31. ,627 in
1890, purchasing, chiefly of the farmers of
Indiana, SIT. 6O3, 127 worth of wheat, corn
and oats for milling purposes. Not only
all these goods put upon the free list.

Coal miners throughout the country
ought to recognize the fact that. owing
to the shutting down of many mills and
manufactures. the demand for coal has
fallen off very materially. That being the
case, they can hardly expect mine owners
and operators TO keep up the wage stand
ard of prosperous times. So far as Indiana
miners are concerned, the Journal does not
understand that they have any present
grievance. If they go out on April p I'M
der the order of the United Mine Workers
convention it will be purely a strike of
sympathy on their part. and, moreover,
will be a violation of contract. If they
break the existing contract they can hard
ly blame the operators If they distrust
them hereafter
