The Carlisle bill Practically Defeated
II the House by Close Vote.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 0--The Carlisle
currency bill, which has been under
debate Ia the House for about two
weeks. was igno,ninously dltched
today 1t had not strength enough
TO surmount the firs parliamentary
obstacle placed In its path. TheCom
mittee OH Rules, in obedience to the
decree Of the Democratic caucus on
Monday, brought In an order 10 close
general debSIe and proceed under the
lIve-minute rule until Saturday when
the fiaai vote should be taken, but
the supporters of the bill showed
lamentabls weakness. They were
unable to order the pre- ious question,
tho demand therefor being refused,
first BY rising vote of o. to l0l. and
then on . yea aud nay vote by ia to
10. The advocates Of the bill wer
tlumf0unded ~heu they discovered
that they had been beaten In the pre-
Illnlnary skirlnish and the order was
Withdrawn. This was the first
reverse the Committee on Rules had
suffered In four years. An analysis
Of the vote ahows that all Of the ia
votes ID favor of the motion were east
by Democrats, while s2 Republicans,

hill just after it was put into
shape they would have rejected
aud condemned it by vote of at
least three to one. All the pro
lection which the really repre-
sentative men of the party ever
wanted was that which would
offset the lower wages paid
abroad. There are, it is true, in
the Republican party, as there
were in the Wing party, men who
think that nothing whatever
should be admitted to the country
which can be made or raised here,
no matter what the price here is,
but in the Wing days those men
were never allowed to dictate
tariffs. The Republicans, too,
kept them in the background
until recently. They had no hand
in the framing of the Morrill, tariff,
which passed the House in 1860
and the Senate in February 1861.
The duties in that act, of course,
were subsequently increased, but
that was during the war, when all
impost was put on everything
that a tax-gatherer could reach.
After the war the duties started
downward, and they kept OH going
down until 1890. Then the import
exclusinnists aud abolitionists got
control of the Ways and Means
Committee, framed the Mckinley
tariff, and the party was over
whelmingly and deservedly beaten
in that year and in 1892 as a
consequence. No tariff will ever
again be framed on the 1890 lines.
There is an irrepressible conflict
between McKinleyism and Repub-
licanism. McKinleyism is a relic
of barbarsm, a survival of the
dark ages. 1t is political heresy,
economic lunacy, Chinese states
manship. The Republican party
will see to it that the Mckinley
resurrectionisrs be sent to the
rear and kept there.

JUDICIAL INSOLENCE.
Judge Parker and the United States
supreme Court Again at
L0ggerheads.

The United States District
Court for the Western District Of
Arkansas, presided over BY Judge
Isaac 9. Parker, has contributed
another criminal case to the
docket of the Supreme Court
which presents some interesting
features in view Of the relations
existing between that court and
Judge Parker. The appellant and
John Brown, who is under
sentence of death (stayed, how
ever, by the appeal for the
murder of Josiah Poorboy, an
Indian, and Thomas Whitehead,
in the Cherokee Nation, on the
8th of December, 1891. He was
convicted and sentenced to death
in 1892, but on appeal to the
Supreme Court the judgment of
the District Court was reversed
OH the ground that vital error was
committed by the introduction of
certain evidence. When the case
was on trial a few weeks ago and
the time came for the court to
charge the jury Judge Parker
said that the jury were not to let
the fact that the case had been
reversed by the Supreme Court
influence them in reaching their
decision. That reversal, he said,
was upon the introduction Of
testimony which was not before
the present jury.
Later in the charge, which
occupied two hours in its delivery,
Judge Parker said:
"NOw, | want you to bear in
mind one fact in this case, because
| want to admonish you as to that,
because this court has to he very
particular and very guarded in
what it says ojuries, not because
OF the fact that the jury may be
misled, but there are reasons
existing why it is so, and it is not
necessary for me to name them
here. ask you to bear this in
mind: That, although the court
has the right, under the rules of
practice, to comment upon the
facts and give you it's opinion of
their proving power, l admOnish
you that the ultimate duty rests
upon you of weighing each and all
of these facts and saying what
the, prove"
The jury promptly found Brown
guilty, as charged, but because of
certain matter contained in the
charge his attorneys again
appealed to the Supreme Court.
Judge Parker will probably appear
in person before the Supreme
Court next month, when the writ
Of mandamus, issued a week or
two ago by the court in the case,
when he and Justice White dis
agreed as to the effect of a writ of
supercedeas, is made returnable.-

WILSON GETS The PLUM
He Succeeds BisSell as Postmaster
General.
IT'S A POPULAR CHOICE
The Chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee Didn't
seek It. We Are Told, but He
Got There Just the same.

WASHINGTON. Feb. S8.-The president
has nominated Congressman ". L. Will
son of West Virginia to bo postmaster
general, to succeed Blssell, resigned.
The fact that President Cleveland in
tended to appoint Wilson to the position
has been known for several days to the
most intimate friends of Wilson and to
Wilson himself. The selection IS one
which the president made OF his own
notion without any urging from Mr.. VIII
sons friends and largely in recognition of
that members services IN leading the
tariff fight in the house. No member has
been on moro intimate terms with the
president than has been the chairman OF
the ways and means committee, and his
speeches in the house have always been
understood to voice the opinion of the adj
minlstration.
Ii Was noted that Wilson's speeches
upon the amendment to the postofilce APP
preparation bill to compel the railway mail
clerks to live at the end OF their routes
perhaps the last speech he will make as a
congressman-was an eloquent plea to
congress to support the postmaster
general. No man IN congress has greater
personal popularity among the members
of both parties than Wilson.

senator Villas, chairman of the COM
mittec on postofIices and postroads, in-
stead of calling meeting of the COM
mittee to consider Wilson's nomination,
polled the members of the committee and
| obtained unanimous consent to make n

An effort was made to secure an execu-
| tive session for the imme late considera-
ton of the nomination, but owing to the
fact that some of the senators stated that
they would insist that nominations should
take the usual course and be reported at
one executive session and lilo over TO the
next. this plan was abandoned. The re-
port will be made at the next executive

Sigh changed his vote to aye and gave
notice that tomorrow he would move to
reconsider the vote. During the past week
the pressure on the senate from both
sides has been something fearful and all
breathed sigh of relief when the battle
fled.
The senate in committee of the whole
passed a good many bills, among them
the agricultural bill, and bills regulating
coal mining, providing for uniform sys-
tenn of signals in mines, and the bill re-

to the arrest of an old Cuban General,
Julio :. Angli, and about 30 members OF
the first families of Havana, who were inn
prisoned in the military fort at Cabanis.
Ii IS reported that about 800 persons who
sympathized with the revolutionists were
