enactment is already evident-but there is
probability Of friction between capital and
labor in trades which are affected adversely

tariff btl-curbed to a considerable extent
by the Senate-is believed by proteetionists
TO be toward paralleling in this country the
labor conditions Of Europe. and although
no great stride in that direction has been

Undoubtedly there will be a great rush
for the position Of operator of the compt-
ometer in the first auditors Office to fill
which the civil service commission will
hold an examination soon. Comptometer
operators are probably now on their way
from all parts of the country to Washing
ton. bringing their comptometers with them.
1t is fair to presume that the hard times
have affected this industry as much as
others, 50 that the great majority of comp
tometer operators would be glad of an OPP
portunity to serve the government at a
steady salary of 1890 year.

The Governor of FormOsa evidently has
long and well-illed purse. AS good Chi
nese citizen he is now filled with the spirit
Of uncompromising and never-dying hatred
toward Japan and all that Is Japanese. He
proposes to bring about the subsection of
the Japanese empire and the defamation of
the Japanese nation even though 1t takes
the last coin out of the old stocking into
which he has been dropping his financial
savings for some years. He has published
a schedule of the rewards he will pay for
the capture or destruction of japanese
fighting ships or the killing or capturing of
japanese soldiers or sailors. The sinking of
big japanese warship will enrich those
who do the sinking to the extent of $4,000;
IL the war ship is a small one the destroyers
will receive only 5000. A japanese officer,
dead or alive. is worth $500 to the Chinaman
who has him, while the Celestial who is
only lucky enough to get hold Of an enlisted
adversary will receive $3.50. Bearing in
mind the great purchasing value Of money
in China and the extremely small wages
paid throughout the Chinese empire the
scale Of prices is an extremely liberal one

Americans would like doubtless to assist in

a somewhat remarkable case of defective
vision was developed in the Senate on
Thursday while that most deliberate of all
deliberative bodies was engaged in the dis
cussion of Senator kyles resolution for-
bidding the sale or use of Intoxicating
liquors in the Senate wing of the Capitol
during the recess of Congress, and requr-
ing the Capitol police board to enforce the
resolution. Among those who contributed
to the debate was Senator Orville II. Plat
of Connecticut, who, in response to Senator
kyles statement that there is not a SEN
ator in the chamber today who does not
know that liquors are sold, and sold
openly" replied II think that this talk
which We read in the newspapers. and

Vigorous but erroneous condemnation has
been fired at the Senate because OF the dis
aster which befeii the proposition to have
the general government pay the sum Of $, 900
to the surviving relatives Of each person
killed in the Fords Theater disaster. The
Ser ate has done many things for which
1t has been properly criticized-it Is GER
tainly responsible for the failure to erect a
new Government Printing Office building
In place Of the present ramshackle struc-
ture-but 1t was the House Of Representa-
tives and the House only. that stood In
the way Of the appropriation for the relief
Of the families Of those who were crushed
out Of existence by the falling floors of the
Record and Pension Office. A select COM
mittee Of the Senate investigated carefully
into the accident and it's surroundings and
reached a reasonable conclusion concern
ing the governments responsibility, but the
House was unwilling to accept the findings
Of the Senate committee and the result will
be great and unjust delay.

THE WEEK.

Tho event Of the week was the decision of
the House democrats to accept the Senate
tarin bill and to end the long fight for the
bill as passed by the House. A caucus of
Horse democrats was held on Monday
morning, and on Speaker Crtsp's motion It
was decided by vote Of 100 to q to yield.
Borrke Cochran made an emphatic speech
In opposition to giving way. 1t was then
decided, without u division, to pass sepa-
rate bills putting sugar, COAL iron ore and
barbed wire on the free list. The House
subsequently, the same day, carried out the
direction of the caucus, and the four bills
were sent to the Senate. There they were
sent to the finance committee. Senator Har-
ris having read letter from Secretary
Carlisle stating that the putting Of the
articles named in the bills on the free list
would cause a deficit in revenue of thirty
millions. To many this seemed like black
eye Tor the bills. 1t was also asserted that
the Secretary had INDICATED the action of
the Senate in refusing to put the articles
named on the free list. The feature of the
debate In the Senate was Senator Vests
speech denouncing the aspersions cast upon
him for his advocacy of the Senate tariff
bill. All sorts of speculate ton was INDUCED
in regarding the Presidents probable ac-
ton on the tariff bill, and this was in
creased by the Presidents quiet departure
from the city on Thursday for rest at his
seashore home, Gray Gables, to recover
from malarial attack. The Senate re-
fused to withdraw from its amendment to
the sundry civil bill, selecting the Malone
site for the government printing office site,
and as the House had insisted on another
site the project fails. An appropriation of
10000 for repairs to the building is avail
able, and 1t is held that this Is sufficient to
make the structure safe. The appropria-
ton of 100000 for families of those killed
in the Ford's Theater disaster was disa-
greed to by the House, and this also
was lost. Conventions have been held by
the Indiana, Texas and Idaho democrats,
the Missouri republicans and the Ohio pop
ulists; the democrats Endorsed the Presi-
dent and his position in the tariff fight;
the Indiana convention denounced the
Senators opposed to him. Many congress
ional conventions We're also held. The ma
uonal commission appointed to investigate
the recent western strike met at Chicago
ard began to hear testimony. A crime re-
sembling somewhat the famous Christie
Warden murder was committed near Con-
cord, n. H., Nettie Douglass, q f1fteen-year
old girl. being murdered by Arthur Nc
Lean, with whom she had gone driving.
No motive has been disclosed.

and soon thereafter the Commissioners ap-
pointed James A. Bates, Samuel 7. G. Nor

the board. "he remnant of the so-called
industrial army in this city has departed,
the men being given transportation to their

tendent of police was directed in the future
to apply the vagrant law to all similar
bodies coming here. A largely attended
meeting of the certificate holders of the

The artic expedition led by Mr.. Wal
ter Wellman is now on its way from
Norway to the pole. Mr.. Wellman's
ship, the Ragnald Jarl, Of 438 tons, will
reach Danes Island, Spitzbergen, it is
expected, about May Is. Thence, after
establishing a station, the expedition
will proceed northward on the steamer
till the edge Of the ice-peak is entered,
at about 80 degrees Of north latitude
Here the men will disembark upon the
ice and the ship will be sent back to
Danes Island. With fourteen men,
fifty dogs, six aluminium sledges and
three aluminium boats, Mr. Wellman
will then strike for the pole. In the
first two weeks the distance made per
day is expected to average five or six
miles. Further north the ice will be
smoother, and from twelve to sixteen
miles will be covered daily. After some
twenty-five days seven of the party
will be sent back. The rest Of the party
will push on till July Is, on which date
they, too, will return toward Danes
Island. With fair luck the pole itself
will have been reached before July Is,
and a flag Mr.. Wellman carries with
him for the purpose will be hoisted
yer the elusive spot.-Times- Demo-

1t is now currently reported that a
trade" has been made between Gov.
Foster and Jno. Fitzpatrick, the versa
| tile ward boss of New Orleans, by which
| Gov. Foster is to secure the city vote
in the Legislature next month for CAT
ferry and Blanchard. Of course FitZ
has to have some LITTLE consideration
for his favor and he is to be supported
for Mayor in the next city election by
the Administration party.
Now comes the main bargain. Fos-
ter wants Of course to be reelected
Governor and the next Gubernatorial
ticket is to be: For Governor, Murphy
j. Foster for Lieut.. Governor, John
Fitzpatrick. Then when the Legisla-
ture meets in 1896, Foster is to 90 to
the U. S. Senate to succeed the man
elected to succeed Judge White, whose
term will expire in 1897. Then, "presto
change" Fitzpatrick, the...chief of the
and ring politicians, is full
fedged Governor of the State of Lou
isiana.
It now remains to be seen whether
the PEOPLE of Louisiana through their
Representatives are going to accede to
this vile barter. Forbid, We Gods!
