WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Chairman Will
son faithfully obeyed the orders issued to
him last night by President Cleveland not
TO stand by the tariff agreement made in
yesterdays conference. Mr. Wilson
astounded the Senate conferees by fatty
repudating all he had agreed to yester-
day and by demanding, in addition TO free
iron ore, free coal and sweeping changes
in the cutlery, woolen goods and other
schedules. 1t was apparent to the Senate
conferees, therefore, that Mr.. Wilson is
not acting in good faith He has assumed
the attitude of an objector and obstructor
to gain time in which President Clevelands 5
various schemes to bulldoze the Senate
may be worked out. After listening to his
tiresome speech for some time in a list
less way. the Senate conferees, hastily
summoning Senators German and Brice,
reported to them that there was abso-
lutely no hope for agreement. They
did not hesitate to say openly that Mr..
Cleveland evidently wanted no tariff bill
at all. Mr.. Brice neatly checkmated the
scheme of Mr.. Wilson. He told the Sen
ate conferees to return to the conference
room and say to Mr. Wilson that the SEN
ate would recede entirely from it's sugar
schedule amendment and would agree to
the Wilson bill proposition for free sugar
of all kinds, and refined. Then Mr..
Wilson promptly refused. of course, for
he is determined that there shall be no
protection for the wretched miners of coal
and iron ore, and he is equally firm in his
loyalty to the Sugar Trust and it's inter-
ests.
The news that Mr.. Wilson refused the
proposition for free sugar has been in
dustriously spread by the conservative
Senators among the members of the House
1t has wrought them up to a fever heat
of indignation, just as Mr.. Brice intended
it should. The only enthusiasm for tariff
reform that is left in the House is for free
sugar. No one cares a rap about iron or
coal. Mr.. Wilson's has alienated
almost the entire Democracy, except the
little band of hustling "cuckoos" There
are threats of another caucus, and it is
added that at the second caucus the men,
bers will not be cajoled by pretty words
from Messrs. Wilson and Crisp, or mere
assurance of an early adjournment, but
will demand an honest statement of Mr.
Wilson's reason for refusing free sugar.

Give While You Live,

George William Curtis believed
firmly that the habit of generosity
should be cultivated as other habits
are, and said: "I have felt that ii
is a great mistake to put off being
generous until you are dead. In
the first place you lose the pleasure
of witnessing the good that you
may do; and again, no one can ad-
minister your gifts for you as we'll
as you can do it for yourself. 1t is
a great pleasure to be brought into
personal relations of that kind, and
to make people feel that you are
not philanthropist in the abstract,
but that you are interested in them
personally and care for their vel.
fare. In that way you benefit them,
not merely in natural way, but
make them feel that men are really
brothers, and that they were made
to help one another. Not only is
that agreeable in itself, but it will
be apt to prompt them to carry out
the principle themselves. Put your
self into all you do, and let others
feel that you are there. Do not
only contribute to charitable OBJ
ject, but go yourself and help. II

A SUCKER.
Illinois Farmer Bunkoed Out OF One
Thousand Dollars.

CARLyEE, Ill. ,Oct.12 Two con-
fidence men swindled Henry Keistel,
farmer, residing Il miles south
east of here, out of 81 600 yesterday
on the three card monte game. A
couple of slick looking individuals
called on Keistel, and, after several
hours OF conversation, succeeded in
purchasing his farm from him. The
bunko men, together with the un-
suspecting farmer, jumped into a
buggy and started for Centralia,
several miles distant, to close the
deal. When near that city they
met a seedy'looking stranger slowly
walking along the road who was ac-
costed by them. After asking sew
eral trivial questions the old man
opened valise and displayed S12,-
600, remarking at the same time
that he would like to make some
one rich. He explained the game
and offered to wager $1,000 that
Keistel could not pick a certain
card. His companions loaned him
81 600, and he planked down ST.
600, which was placed in tin box
and securely fastened. The farmer
got the box and returned home and
opened it, but the money had flown
as well as the bunko men.

Arnold and Mrs. Louisa Hodo were
married at Smithton to- night. The
groom is widower OF 70 years and
the bride wiusome widow OF some
60 summers. The groom achieved
some notoriety lately on account of
a peculiar lawsuit in which he is
defendant. Plaintiff Is Louis Tim.
mig, who alleges that he was en-
ployed to secure wife for Arnold.
Plaintiff AYERS that he spent three
months time and some of bis own
money in search of wife for his
employer. According to Timmig's g
statement he found a woman at
PinckneyvilIe who was willing to
marry Arnold, but that the latter
ruined his own prospects by flirting
with other widows. Timing brought
in a till for 800 which Arnold re-
fused to pay. A sympathetic jury
allowed Timing $55 for his ser.
vices, and Arnold promptly took an
appeal to the t.Clair CountyCourt,

IT is hard for one of the rank and
file of the Democratic party to un-
derstand why Democrats persist in
abusing and fighting each other.
After platform is made and the
ticket named every Democrat should
be found cordially supporting the
same. 1t is worse than bad taste for
a Democrat in one part of Missouri
to be abusing Bland and another in
another part of the same state abus-
ing Cobb, both nominees of the same
party. Democrats should stand to :
gether. We are reliably informed
that there are Democrats even in
Mexico, who should be particularly
interested in the success of tine
county ticket, that are industriously
and sneakingly trying to make votes
against others who are on the same
ticket. Democrats IN MISSOURI ABUSE
Hill, Democrats in New York abuse
Bland, Democrats who are interested
in Congress are fighting somebody
for Constable. Democrats who are
interested in coroner are fighting
against the nominee for Congress.
These things are occurring through
out the entire country and is the
secret of the weakness in the Dem
ocratic party. Democrats should
stand steadfast for principle and
should support the ticket. When
they do less than this they deserve
