SENATOR ALLisoNan to FIX a time for a
vote. Undoubtedly the chairman of
the Finance Committee will arise in
his place on four Or five occasions and
appeal to Senators to come to some
agreement by which an early vote can
be had. That little ceremonial was
performed by Mr.. Voorhees, with fire.
quency during the discussion of
the lver-purchase-repeal bill at
the special session of Congress.
But this is done chiefly to con-
vince the country that the Democratic
Senators are not pioionging the dis
cussion willingly. Great pressure will
be brought to bear by the representa-
tives of business inter ests to have the
debate brought to a speedy termina-
ton, so that the country may know
what business conditions it has to meet.
In Difference to their demand, the
Democratic Senators will make dem
onstrations at regular intervals appar-
emily looking to a termination of the
discussion, but really with no hope that
the Republican Senators will respond
to their appeals. The Republican Sem
ators will assume very willingly the re-
sponsibility for postponing the vote on
the Wilson bill until every chance of
defeating it has been exhausted.

MURDERER SHOT TO DEATH.

Joseph Dick Suffers the Extreme Penalty
Acco' ding to Creek Law.
Joseph Dick, a full-blooded Creek
Indian, was shot to death ten miles
west of Eufala, /. T., for the murder of
another Indian named Grey. A few
minutes after p. m. the sheriff went
out and selected a spot for the execu-
ticn. He placed small box against
tree and returned to Jail and
beckoned to the prisoner to fol-
low him. Dick Strengthened him
self up, looked around at the ten
guards surrounding him, and leisurely
strolled out to the place Of execution.
He took seat upon the box, and, this
proving unsteady. he arose and jammed
it down solidly and then again sat upon
it as coolly as though he were taking
his seat to be photograph cd. A red
handkerchief was tied over his eyes
and piece of white paper pinned over
his heart. Not a mus Gle of his face or
hands moved. Two of the guards took
position twenty-five feet distant and
both fired at the white spot, killing
Dick instantly.

the Senate speeches
will undoubtedly be delivered on the
Senate floor There is no such thing
as leave to print in the Senate.
The order of the speech-making is in
the hands of the Vice President. He
may recognize whom he pleases. Mr..
Stevenson will follow his customary
rule in the tariff discussion. Where
several orators from each side OF the
Senate expect to speak, he will arrange
to recognize them acknowledgement
Democrat and then Republican.
The names of those who are to be
recognized are entered On q little slip
of paper, which the Vice President has
on the desk before him. This slip of
paper tells him who is to make the
first speech, and twenty other Senators
might address the Chair in opposition
to the gentleman whose name headed
the list and Mr.. Stevenson would pass
over them all. II Senator wishes TO

Gov. McK,plev.s Questions.

Gov. Mckinley, in his address to the
Ohio Republicans on the annivel sary
of Lincoln birthday, propounded
these questions: What is gained by
reducing the revenue from tariff while
increasing the expenditure on an in
terest-bearing dcbt?" What sort Of
economy is it that reduces the tariff,
even if 1t be "a tax" by $4,000 o., and
at the same time adds to the other
forms of taxation the burden of $780,
C0O,000 principal and s., 80 200 interest
OF an increa ed public sebt? What is
gained by foregoing $50, 0Oc, 900 Of tariff
revenue, which is $4,000, 900 without
interest, and borrowing S5p, 100000 at 5
Fer cent. interest? How is it more
easy for the people to PAY $50, 500, 600
by direct taxation than to pay $50, 0C0,-
900 by indirect taxation as uming
tariff duties to be indirect taxes,
though in many instances they are not
taxes of any kind, or not taxes paid by
Americans?

The Case I'm a Nutshell.

Senator Hawley puts the tariff ques-
ton as it must be viewed in this coun-
try in nutshell when he says in let
ter to the New York Press:
Great Britain stands as the typical free
trade nation, and stands alone among such
nations OF Importance. She must import
03 per cent of her raw materials, while
the United States have about 90 per cent
OF all needed raw material within their WIN
limits England was, therefore, compelled
TO adopt free trade, while our country IL
commanded by nature to develop her own
resources
If England had our resources in the
way of raw ma erials she would con-
slider protection a bonanza. England
would be very glad to get possession of
our markets, however, and 1t is but
natural that she should have a kindly
feeling for the Democratic party.

The indications are that the tariff
discussion in the Senate will continue
for two, three or even four months.
The average newspaper reader, il he
has not watched the progress of tariff
discussions in the past, will wonder,
perhaps, how eighty-fye Senators will
manage to consume three months in
tariff debate. If each Senator had an
entire legislative day allotted to him,
with the privilege of speaking from 10
o'clock in the morning until 6 in the

The Deficit Grows.

The statement of the national re-
ceipts and expenditures for January,
indicates that Secretary Carlisle's $780,
90 900 loan, no matter how he uses
the proceeds, will go only part way in
providing the Treasury with necessary
funds. The receipts for January were
so ,0S2, 1888, and the expenditures were
81 90 80, leaving deficiency for the
month OF 81. 226, $50. This reduction is
found mainly in the customs revenue,
which showed a falling off as compared
with January, 1898, of about ll,O00,-
0DD. while the expenditures are only
about 100000 less than for January,
l.9?. During the seven months of the
fiscal year there has been fall
ing of OF revenue of $50, 455, sos,
and the total deficit for the
seven months is Sl5,3Ss, l0i. The re-
duction OF expenditure is largely ac-
co .n.el for by the Withholding of
PAYMENTS which ought to be made. IL
the present deterioration continues to
the end OF the fiscal year, the deficit
will be more than $75,000,C00. There
Is no possibility OF increase by the OPP
erltiOn of the new tariff law nor of the
income tax before the end Of the fiscal
year, and the treasury is likely to BE-

The Senate dl

SENATOR MORRILL, discussing the tariff
there were two great possibilities that
the Wilson bill would not reach the
President now there is only one OBJ
struction, opposition in the Senate.
May BE Prolonged.
There is very little doubt in the
minds of any of the Democratic Sena-
tors that the debate may be prolonged
for several weeks. Republican Sena-
tors are anxious to delay the vote in
the hope that influences may be brought
to bear which will defeat the bill al
together. They have the precedent of
a three months del ate allowed to the
Democrats when the Mckinley bill was
under discussion, and they have little
doubt that the Democrats will be will
ing to accord them the same privilege
of discussing at length the Wilson bill.
Under the rules Of the Senate debate
can be prolonged by stubborn mi
nority from the beginning of a session
until its close, for the purpose Of
preventing the passage of an OBJ
noxious measure. Once in the his
tory of the Senate it adjourned with
out the trans lction of any business be-
cause, the membership being divided
equally betw. en- the two parties, the
Democrats would not agree that the
vote of the Vice President should be
cast to elect a Republican secretary
and other Offices. This is one of the
few instances in which the power to
filibuster in the Senate has been used
to prevent action of any kind.
No Attempt to Filibuster.
It is a notable fact that no attempt
was made to prevent the passage OF
the Mckinley tariff bill by filibuster.

The Term "Cuckoo."

The term cuckoo as applied to the

President in Congress is not of Repub-

Senator Morgan, of Alabama. During
the heated debate on the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act,
Senator Morgan described certain SEN
ators as announcing the time OF day in
the Senate whenever the clock at the
White House struck. From that time
