The South will probably suffer greater ma
terial loss from the blizzard than any other
section of the country. The orange industry
Is practically ruined and the loss will foot up
many millions of dollars. When one begins
to count the cost of the storm in this way,
added to the distress and discomfort, its appall-
ing magnitude becomes apparent. The loss TO
business all over tho country is beyond eaieu-
lation.

The National tribune., 1895-02-14

IN the House, debate on the new currency
bin consumed the day. Mr.. Springer (lll.. d.,
Chairman of the Committee on Banking and
Currency, opened the debate with long state
ment concerning the condition of the Treasury.
lie produced figures to show that there would
be an estimated surplus of S26.o00,000 in the
revenues Mt the end Of the present calendar
year, but a deficiency at the end of the fiscal
wear. June 30. Of S20,000,0oO. The deficiency
now was S3s 100000, but this would be reduced
sI4,000000 in the coming five months. On
June 80, 1885, he said, there would be in the
Treasury 100000 Of surplus revenues de-
rived from the sale of bonds.
Mr. Cox Tenn, ID. }, in opposition TO the bill,
tainted Mr.. Springer with his agility in get
ting on every side Of every question. De made
g vigorous argument in favor Of the substitute
he should offer. which was based on the prin'
ciple Of the Carlisle bin tbe issue Of circulation
by banks on deposit OF legal tenders).
Mr.. Swanson va, ID. bitterly criticised the
Administration. The present trouble was due
10 two causes, deficiency OF revenue and the
gold raid on the Treasury. Congress passed 9
bill for coming the seigniOrage; the President
vetoed it, That bill would have placed $oZ,
600 600 in the Treasury.
Mr. Walker Mass, X. also opposed the hd
ministration measure. He was very sarcastic
at times He said Mr.. Carlisle was good man
but no fnancier and said IL Mr.. John Sherman
was al the helm of the Treasury the present
trouble would be ended shortly.

rHuRspAY. FEE. q.

In the Senate, no conclusion was reached on
the question of laying a cable to Hawaii.
A SEQUEL TO the spirited incident Of the other
iay between Mr.. Mitchell, of Oregon, and Mr..
Harris. of Tennessee, occurred when the former
presented an explanation of certain sugar
bounty claims.
Mr.. Harris. looking rather serious spoke Of
his objections the other day, but said he would
not renew them.
MIR. Mitchell said he was glad to hear the
Senator admit that he had made a mistake. Ii
looked for moment as though the sparks
might fly again, but Mr.. Harris rose to reply
and then sat down again, evidently ready TO
let the personal incident close.
Mr.. Mitchell said the sugar-bounty claims
had brought out difference of opinion IN the
Claims Committee. There were two PROPOSE
tions submitted One was to pay in lull the
balance of the bounty earned up to the passage
of the new tariff act, which repealed the bounty;
the other was to pay one-half of the bounty
for the year 1895 since the passage of the act
The majority of the committee believed In
having the amount of the bounty earned prior
to the act. They made q pro forma recon-
incubation to that efect-not 10 the Senate,
but TO the Appropriations Committee. Mr..
Mr. Mitchell said his personal view was that
these claims were a legal obligation as well as
an equitable one. The aggregate of the claims
for the bounty earned prior TO the passage OF
the tariff act was $237, 000 The Commissioner
of Internal Revenue suggested S250,Oo0 for
meeting these claims. But the main claims
were for one half the bounty after the tarla
act was PASSED. The total bounty would be
about $4,000 600. and the claims for one-half
would be S7,750,000 The total OF claims
before and after the tariff act would thus
aggregate about $s,0o0,000.
The claims were referred.

In the House. bill was passed to pension at

Gen. J. c. Kelton, late Acknowledgement, U. ..
Army.
Mr.. Grosvenor (0hio, r. asked unanimous
consent for the consideration of joint resolu-
ton for the appointment of a committee TO
investigate the validity of the election in Ten.
nessee last November. The resolutions recited
at length the allegations made by large body
of the citizens of that State that there was no
legal election in that State.
Mr.. Cox objected.
The third reading of the Currency Bill was
refused on a rising vote of 81 TO l59 This was
equivalent TO defeat of the bill. The roll-call
confirmed the defeat of the measure, the vote
standing 134 to 161.
Mr.. Springer then entered motion to re-
consider the vote by which the third reading
of the bill was refused. and Mr.. Hatch MO-, ID.
promptly moved to lay that motion On the
table. The latter motion was csrried-l35 to
1873
This ended the fight. The victors made the

Improving q Bulgarian Town.

No European town has been more
cQnspicuously improved in recent
years than Sofia, the capital of Bull
garis. A series of splendid boule-
wards has been cut through the mass
of old narrow streets and Turkish
HOSES, one encircling the city,
while others run across it in various
directions; and a still more spacious
avenue, 1877 feet wide, and set with
six rows of trees, leads from the CEN
ter OF the town to the railway sta
ton. while another, called the Boule-
ward Stambuloff, runs from the same
point to the new park. This park is
very large and is said to be we'll
planted. A great public garden has
also been formed in the middle OF
the town, with smaller gardens al
various points, and a nursery, cover
ing 100 acres, has been established
in the suburbs, where plants will be
grown for the public grounds and
will also be sold to private pur.

LINCOLN IN HISTORY,
Gu ca More Than Emancipation InvslveA
10 the Civil War.

10 the Civil War.
The Rev. John Coleman Adams
maintains in the Century that lin
coin was much moro than the great
emancipation He says:
This conviction Is pronounced
with a full sense of the possible
shook it may bring to those Who
love to think OF T.incoln's clio! re-
nOwn as connected with the race he
freed from bondage. 1t is hard for
many of Us not to feel that einauci-
patton was the great achievement Of
that struggle, and that the war was
WageG to decide whether this should
be free nstion Or a land OF bonds
and stripes But the wiser years
will decide against us. All our thank
fulness and honor to the man who
made the act of emancipation a
weapon with which to strike rebellion
must not blind us to the fact that this
splendid stroke of policy, this noble
deed OF statecraft, was only an Incl
dent and not the aim OF the strug-
gle. Viewed in its relations to the
long world-history, the development
Of mankind, the work of civilization,
the American people under their
great leader were engaged in de-
termining whether the great princi-
pie OF federation, the peaceful cock
istence of great states, should sue
coed or fail They were in a strug-
gle to decide whether the rule OF
peace AMI goodwill should extend,
or stop and go no further. And
Abraham LlncOln's clear, unerring
eye perceived the meaning OF the
struggle his strong mind grasped
Its vital import and his steadfast
soul chung to that thought with a
teuacity that could be expressed
only in some such words as Paul's
This one thing | do"
We have thus far been accustomed
TO rank our great president among
the heroes of our own land, aAd sell
dom have dared to talk of him 10
connection with his place among che
worlds famous ones Sometimes IL
has seemed to come to us thai he
was worthy fame outside the limits
OF this land. Some rare voices have
found courage 10 say,as Lowell said:
Here was a typo Of the true elder race,
And one Of Plutarch'S men talked with us
face to face
There is enough in his personality,
30 fresh, SO strong, so inspiring, to
justify our highest pride IN him, and
to make US hOld up this new product
of our new land, whose honesty and
strong good sense, whose earnest
faith and indomitable purpose, fit
him to stand like modern Aristides
or a New World Cato But when the
Sow Judgment of the years is made
up, it will take this man of the West,
who led US through the fires of q
terrible civil strife, and. seeing how
his achievements reached out to all
mankind and secured the work
which cost the toll and struggle Of
ages, will range him side by side
with the men who saved Greece from
Persian barbarism, and those who
saved Rome from Gallo anarchy, and
those who gave this continent to the
free institutions Of the English race
