Inter Ocean: Congressman Hep
burn, Of Iowa, made a good point in
the pension debate on Monday of
this week. He made the assertion
that the late Confederate states con
tributed not one dollar toward the
payment Of pensions Of Union vet
Grams, and followed this by the
statement that of the Sl5O,0OO,OO0
internal revenue taxes the South
paid less than 100000; Of the
.$l77,OOO,O00 customs receipts only
100000, and of the miscellaneous
receipts less than $2,0oo,ooo. In re-
turn the South is paid $9,o00,oOo in
sugar bounty, IS, ooo,oooin pensions
and $5,0oo,ooO as a deficit in postal
receipts. THIS was a center shot
and there was no reply.

bers declare the number cannot be
found.
1t is fact that the situation, turn
ing, as it does, on this line has caused
considerable uneasiness among the
Democrats of the senate, and especl-
ally those who are known to be stead
fest in their demands for the senate
bill in it's main features. The reliance
of the house upon outside pressure
and the Democratic sentiment that
seems to be rallying around the presi-
dent and the house from the country
at large, it is claimed will grow
stronger from day to day until the
senate conferees will be compelled to
yield.
The prestige which the administra.
ton obtained in the conference over
the unconditional repeal of the silver
purchasing law has been pointed out
as being evidence of determination
now which, with the solid backing of
the Democratic leaders in the house,
will bring about q similar result on
the tariff bill.
The tension between the senate and
house was as marked at the close OF
the session today as it had been at
any time previous. The Democratic
memb ers of the conference found them
selves in a complete deadlock when
they met during the forenoon, and the
full conference called for l O'Clock
found itself without business before it
when it convened. The full confer
ence did not continue to exceed l5
minutes, and the proceedings consists
ed in statement by the Democrats to
the Republicans that the Democratic
conferees had been unable to reach an
understanding, and a suggestion on
the part of Chairman Wilson OF the
house conferees that the conference
adjourn pursuant to the call of the
chairman, which suggestion was &C.
quiesced in by the Republicans.
The impression which ex-Speaker
ReeG obtained of the situation was
embodied in rough diagram which
he drew while the conference was IN
session, which represented the senate
as a locomotive rushing down a steep
grade under full steam. Straying
across the track and directly in front
of the engine is an immense wall,
which is labeled "house," the Repuo-
lican house confcrees being repre-.
sented az safely lodged in tall trees.
"That is the situation, he said, "we
all know what must happen when an
irresistible force strikes movable
object"
This is as much of a statement of
the situation as could be obtained
from any source. Democratic mem.
bers of both houses appreciate to the
utmost the extreme gravity of the
situation. The Democratic senators
who will say anything, say that from
all appearances the house conferees
are yet doing as they have been at
any time. 1t ia stated that at the
conference today the house members
appeared even moro determined than
ever to maintain their position. Dc
casionally Democrat could be found
on the Democratic side who would
express the hope that the conferees
would content themselves with the
last demonstration of disapproval and
subsequently agree to come to the
senate's terms. Conferences among
Democratic leaders in the senate and
between these senators and Demo
cratic members of the house have
been frequent and they have been
held with the view of harmonizing
the differences if possible. The
Democrats will meet in Informal con-
ference again tomorrow.

A Serious Charge.

CLEVELAND, o., July 9l-An expert
accountant, employed by local after
noon newspaper, has been at work for
several days on the record of United
States courts investigating the
charges made by the Central Labor
Union against United States Judge A.
j. Kicks. The paper today prints a
lengthy tabulated statement, showing,
so the paper claims, discrepancy OF
$1,55S. 70 against Judge Kicks when he
was clerk of the United States circuit
court. The article concludes as fol-
lows:
1.-The United States records pro
claim that in these Birdsall's cases the
United States treasury was defrauded
out of 81, 558.75, all of which was re-
ceived and appropriated by Augustus
]. Kicks longer after he had ceased tc
be clerk. The records do not disclose
that the 81, 55S.75 SO obtained by Judge
Kicks was incorporated in any subse
quent report of succeeding clerks and
presumably the government officials
are in ignorance of the fraud that was
practiccd upon the government shown
by the receipts of the court Judge
Kicks some days ago denied explicitly
that that there was any discrepancy
in his accounts.
