session was his speech denouncing the
bill and warning the Democratic party
that its adoption would make perma-
nent Democratic success in any northern
state impossible for many years to come.
Every senator was in his seat, and listened
to each word as it fell from the lips of ''the
only Democrat in the United States SEN
ate" The galleries were packed, and
scores of prominent members of the House
crowded about Mr. Hills desk There was
a touch of Patrick Henry about the ring of
his voice when he declared that, "sink or
swim, survive or PERISH" he would not
support this "splendid nothing"
The passage of the bill by the Senate by
no means assures its fate or its final pas
sage. From the House it will go into the
hands of a conference committee, and on
the report of this committee there is sure
to be a sharp discussion. In the House
determined effort will undoubtedly be made
to kill the iniquitOus sugar schedule. 1t is
regarded as certain that the House con-
ferees will insist on placing coal and iron
on the free list.
August l was fixed by the Senate as the
date for the bill to go into effect, but it re-
mains to be seen whether that day sees the
long contest ended.

who Is Debsl

Eugene V. Debs Subscribed as possess
ing Executive ability of high order"
He was born in Terre Haute, Ind, in 1855,
and was educated in the public schools,
including the high school. This course
was supplemented by training at bust
ness college. He worked as fireman be-
tween 1871 and 1874, but since that time
no railroad has had his name on its pay
roll. He joined the firemen's brotherhood
in 1877 and has held the position of asso-
ciate editor of the iremen's magazine, and
has also acted as secretary and treasurer of
the brotherhood. For two terms he was
city clerk of Terre Haute. In 1885 he was
sent to the Indiana legislature by the
Democrats. After his service there he be-
came editor of the Railway magazine,
which he directed until he organized the
American railway union less than year
ago.
1t is evident that he is a man of much
more education than the average labor
leader, and that he possesses not a little
executive ability. If he should win in the
present struggle he would be the most
prominent labor leader in the country.

Mob Violence i'm ChicagO---The SItuR-
tiOn Worse Rather Than Better.
The news up to this morning shows lit
tie change in the situation. There were
many acts of violence in Chicago yester-
day, and the United States soldiers, with
loaded rifles and Gatling guns, were scarce
ly sufficient to keep the mob at bay. Sew
eral times they were forced to charge
with fixed bayonets. Gen. Miles is on the
ground in command of the troops.
Gov. Altgeld wired President Cleveland
protesting against the presence of the
troops. To this Mr.. Cleveland firmly re-
piled that the troops were necessary to pro-
tect the mails and maintain the laws.
Grand Master Sovereign of the Knights
of Labor threatens to call out the men,
bers of that order. On the other hand
Chief Arthur of the Brotherhood of Lo-
comOtive Engineers, and the heads of the
brotherhoods of railway trainmen and
switchmen, have notified members of those
orders that they have no grievance, and a
strike would be unjustifable.
Other sweeping injunctions by the Fed
eral courts were issued yesterday.
The effects of the strike have gradually
extended, affecting roads in the southern
states, and tying up still tighter those in
Michigan, Missouri and Indiana.
A settlement of the trouble was hoped
for by the end of this week, but the out
look for that result is not encouraging.

Germany, Italy and England are taking
decided steps to rid themselves of anar-
chists or to bring them to speedy punish
ment. Anarchists arriving in England
will be expelled from that country. The
German government will deal with such
offenders in the sharp and thorough way
in which the laws of the Empire are ex-
ecuted, but the precise nature of the new
measures have not been disclosed. Premier
Crispi has introduced bill in the Italian
chamber of deputies, providing for the
trial of accused anarchists before special
courts, instead of disposing of them by iuri-
es. There is little doubt of its speedy passage
so that anarchists caught in Italy will be
"Iailroaded " to their fate, and there is to
be no sympathetic jurymen to assist them
to escape punishment.

Police BInckmnil in New York city.


For years it has been matter of public
notoriety in New York city that the haunts
of vice were protected through a system of
police backmail. The commissioners have
Indignantly denied these charges and neg
lected, to order an investigation. The
LeXow investigation committee of the state
senate has adjourned until September after
six weeks work in the metropolis Dur
ing this time it has been shown that not
only are the disorderly houses free from
legal restraint through the payment of GER
tain sums to the city officers, but that green
goods men, gamblers and other criminals
secure immunity from arrest in a similar
way. The committee has developed testi-
mony duplicating in wrong doing one police
commissioner, two police inspectors, II
police captains, 80 ward men, and
score of other officials, including police and
trial justices. Now that the committee
has adjourned, the police board is prepar-
ing to proceed with an Independent inves-
tigation for the very apparent purpose Of
trying to stave off the effects of the Lexow
revelations.

Had Prendergast, the murderer of
Mayor Carter Harrison of Chicago, re-
ceived his just deserts he would have been
hanged long ago, but his lawyers made a
vigorous fight to save him from his we'll
merted fate, and succeeded in securing for
him respites on one pretext and another.
The most important of these was a claim
that he was insane, and therefore not re-
sponsible. The matter was referred to a
jury, and that body on Tuesday pronounc-
ed him not to be insane. Unless some
other pretext of delay is devised Prender-
gast will be hung on the 18th day of this

The Tariff Bill Passes the Senate.


The tariff bill passed the Senate Tuesday
night, shortly before IL o'clock, by vote
of 80 to 34-a majority of ). Two Popu-
lists, Stewart and PETER, voted with the
Republican minority, and two Populists,
Kyle of South Dakota and Allen of Ne
braska, joined the Democratic column.
Irby, of South Carolina, whose vote to the
last remained doubtful, voted aye, much to
the surprise of everybody, his Democratic
friends not excepted. Senator Hill was
the only Democrat whose vote was recorded
against the bill of sale and surrender.
The proceedings of the long session,
which was a continuation of the legislation
day of Monday, were protracted struggle
to carry the bill to final vote. Several
hours were consumed in discussing the
subject of free wool. Stirring appeals were
made by Senators Sherman, Hoar, Stew
art, Dolph, Higgins, Lodge, Aldrich and
Teller, in favor of Mr., Sherman's PROPOSE
tion to place duty of 30 per cent on WOOL
In the course of the discussion it was
pointed out that the great West was given
nothing in this bill, while the South had
been granted all its demands. The clauses
adopted in the committee of the whole, eX-
empting the salaries of the President and
judges of the United States courts from
the income tax, and putting barbed wire
on the free list, were defeated. The barbed
wire concession was one which Senator
Allen tried to gain for his former constitu-
ents in return for his vote for the bill.
Senator Hill fought the measure, and
especially the income tax feature, to the
last. The sensation of the hot night

New Hampshire's Valued Policy Law.
The New Hampshire commissioner of
insurance holds in his annual report, re-
Gently published, that the valued policy in
surance law has more than vindicated itself
beyond the question of the most obdurate
insurance company. Taking the eight
years to 1856, before the valued policy law
was enacted, the ratio of losses to premi-
ums received averaged 65.4 per cent; dur
ing the eight years since the ratio has been
only All per cent. Risks written increased
S216, 1886, 400 in the second period over the
first, premiums received increased $2,555,-
135, while losses paid increased only S50,
S24. The commissioner thinks these fig
ures ought to close the mouths of those in
surance men who are still belaboring the
''runous' valued policy law. 1t will be
remembered that all the outside companies
left the state when that law was enacted,
but went back again in two or three years.

ground that the japanese and Chinese do
