II che business men who are anx-

their eyes open they must have seen
that the great majority OF democrats
in both houses were ready and anxious
months ago to give the country a lib
erally devised tariff law. The full
strength Of the republicans has been
put forth for obstruction.
Nor can the obstruction come under
any honest theory of conviction on the
tariff. The republican senator's knew
that a law Of some kind was certain
to be passed. They could not say that
they were fighting in the hope OF pre-
serving the Mckinley law. All they
have done is to hold their ranks solid
for obstruction while the German dem
ocrats did the work of the lobby by
bulldozing tactics. The fasteners
who lead the republicans got what
they wanted for certain special inter-
ests, and got 1t through German and
his band. Then they were willing to
negotiate for n roll call. All this four
months of obstruction, in committee
and on the floor, has not been to
save the Mckinley law, but to capture
as much swag as possible for favorite
trusts.

so full that it was as impossible for

Said the Jolly little cracker OF the pack,
"For to sizzle l am signing,
And to whizz through space ~a-flying,
Is the exercise that l most surely lack"
"Oh! want some punk and crackers,
Just the loudest kind Of w~hackers,"
Said a merry little fellow, bright and gay,
"For / long to see them nzzing,
And to send them of a-whizzing,
just to scare the girls as they go by to-day.
So tho two they came together,
In the pleasant July weather,
Both the Jolly little cracker and the boy,
And the one, he made a racket,
While the other burned his jacket,
But to both 1t was n day of keenest joy.

who had not hitherto spoken desired op-
portunity 20 be heard, and by unanimous
consent the time Of general debate was
extended until three o'clock tomorrow.
The chief event Of tho day was a speech by
Frye defending the Official course and char
aoteF Of Chief Supervisor Davenport, Of
New York oisy. and Tefnting alleged Sian
ders and oslumny which he said had been
heaped upon him By the democratic party
for twenty years.

the triumph Of the democratic party at the
polls a. the last election ID was known that

tuition, said that this power in the nation al

CmoAao. Feb. Ga special from Omaha
says: In view of a letter from Judge
Dundy, saying his order in this Union Pa
cihc rseeivership cases did not prevent the
men from striking. the question is seri-
ously raised whether. as he read the order,
il differed not materially from the letter.
In order 10 make sure a series OF questions

submitted 20 him, and he replied that such

Tho only restraint put on employees. he
ssid, was that they are held back ffom in

He Teite ated the assertion that the order
10 reduce the salaries Of Union Pacific men
did not mean that the men should not hold
meetings OF strike.

The petition states that At various times
