THE TARIFF.
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE program
OF the ways and means committee to
prepare a tariff bill forthe extra session
of congress, was the only topic of dis,
cussion about the house today, and met
with general approval among the re-
publTcans. 1t is expected that the bill
will be brought forward very early in
the extra session, and passed under a
rule fixing the time for debate, SO that
its fate will be in the hands of the
senate early. All Of the republican
members Of the ways and means COM
mittee have been reelected to the next
congress, and 1t is assumed that Mr..
Reed win be again chosen speaker. and
will not change the personnel Of the
committee, SO that there h no prob,
ability any effort would be made to do
the work over again.
Today Chairman Dingley had a on
ference with Mr.. McMillin of Ten
nessee, h senior democrattc member
OF the committee. and officially stated
the republican plans. Mr.. Dingley said
that the hearings probably would be-

SCHEDULES OF WILSON LAW.
Washington. D.. c.. Dec. 11.-Certain
measures OF the new tarin BILL have
been practically decided upon already
by the republicans. Chairman Ding
ley Is authority for the statement that
a bill will be framed to prevent the
use of bonded warehouses by import
ers to escape the payment OF higher
duties as they were used to when the
Mckinley bill was passed. To effect
this there will be a clause providing
chat goods in storage In bonded ware
houses when the new law goes into
effect will pay the rate Of that law and
not those Of the Wilson act in opera

schedules Of the Wilson law which
have proved satisfactory, it is said

unchanged, as having been guarded by
democratic protectionists in the SEN

We would be deeply indebted to
some of those who are clamoring so
Justify for q bolt, to name a single
instance in which any good ever came
of boiling the party nominations!
Just let your memory turn back over
the history of past bolts, and it will
invariably be found that the cause
for which the bolt was made has
been the sufferer. Yet we are told
by men whose enthusiasm has appar-
emily run away with their Judgment
that a bolt from the National party
is the only salvation for silver. The
silver men can control the next Dem
ocratic National party if they will
make the fight within the party lines.
It is possible for them to adopt
a platform, entirely favorable to the
free coinage of silver, and nominate
candidates who will be faithful to
the commands of the people.

The sub committee of the House
committee on privileges and cleo
tions, having heard the contested
election case of johnson VS.. Stokes
from this District, has made q re-
port to the whole committee recon-
mending the seating of DR.. Stokes.
This practically settles the case as
the almost invarisble custom OF
the House is to adopt the report OF
the committee. We extend our heart
lest congratulations to the people OF
this District on the victory of DIR.
Stokes, and we are gratiGed to know
that the committee, having Repub-
lican majority, has risen above partl-
zen feelings, and decided the case on
it's merits, giving the seat to the one
who was honestly and fairly elected
and by such majority that there
were absolutely no grounds for a
contest.
The same committee has reversed
its former conclusion in the Murray
Elliott contest and has submitted its
report in favor of seating Murray.

The Democrats in many Western
aud Southern States have made the
fight for silver within the party lines
and in every case have won a glori-
GUS victory. In a recent primary
election in Alabama for delegates to
the State Democratic Convention the
silver Democrats carried the State
overwhelmingly for johnson, the
ayowed bimeta!list, and silver. This
result is considered a great victory
and the silver men of that State are
celebrating it with much enthusiasm.

A BIC IMPROVEMENT.

The new State Liquor Board OF
Control, through its Chairman and
Secretary, has issued q new set of
rules to the county dispensers clearly
defining their duties under the new
law.
It is evidently The purpose OF this
Board to correct the evils in the sys-
TEN inaugurated under the manage
ment Of the present Liquor Commis-
s:oner in fultherance OF his object to
to make the selling Of liquors by the
State means of increasing her rev.
enues, and the carrying out of which
has made the system very offensive
to many who were inclined to look
upon it with favor. Beyond the pos
sibility of successful contradiction
it can be safely asserted that the sale
of liquor under the dispensary sys-
tenn has not been made according to
the provisions of the law. Many of
these violations of the law were
doubtless the results OF erroneous
and misleading instructions given the
dispensers whose duty it was to obey
the law themselves, and to see that
others, dispensers as we'll as citizens,
obeyed it.
The new orders to the dispensers
are stringent in reference to their
duties and positive and mandatory,
even threatening, in tone, and ell
for faithful compliance with all the
provisions of the law tending to the
restriction of the sale of liquors.
We are gratiGed to notice that
the Board is so earnest in it's deter
mination to devote more attention to
the moral features of the law than
to the idea that the State assumed
control of the liquor traffic solely as
a means of raising a revenue, and in
their efforts to carry out their laud-
| able undertaking the Board should,
and doubtless will, receive the sup
port and encouragement of every
person who really and truly desires to
see much of the evil arising from
the habit OF using intoxicating IL
quors as beverage corrected, and
accept the dispensary system as a
means to that end.

had weakened her body she actively
engaged in all the work of her be-
loved Lutheran church. Her class cf
little girls in the Sunday school, and
her work in the Ladies' Aid Society
were especially dear to her. The
members of the latter remember how
faithfully she performed her duties
as Recording Secretary, when her
strength was all insufficient for her
work, and when her feeble voice could
scarcely be heard in large room.
At meeting of this society since her
death, our loved president spoke
most feelingly and beautifully of her
loving service for her Master, dwell
ing upon these words of Longfellow:
"What seem to us but sad funeral ta-
pers
May be heavens distant lamps"
and speaking Of two of our best and
dearest members who went home
almost hand in hand, as bright and
shining lamps in "the land beyond
the sunset"
Those Of US who are''spared to
worship in our prospective new
church, will sadly miss those two
cherished ones, Mrs. Sne1grove and
Miss Mollie Meetze. who so willingly
gave their strength and means for
the promotion of its interests.
Though having SO many strong and
tender ties to bind her to earth, the
subject of this paper, frequently ex-
pressed to her dear ones, and to her
beloved pastor her readiness, yea her
impatience 'sto depart and be with
Christ" Rich in the love of relatives
and friends, and sorrowing when they
grieved for her, she calmly ar
ranged her earthly affairs and long
ingly awaited her summons to her
eternal home. She selected her pail
bearers, and requested the hymn,
Nearer my God to Thee" to be sung
at her funeral services. Death had
absolutely no terrors for her, and
only few hours before the end she
whispered to a friend. ~ am not
alone, God is with me-" Even in her
last hours she thanked the watchers
beside her bedside for their kind
ness to her, urging them to rest and
sleep, invariably requesting them
earnestly to ''comfort mama and son
when I am gone" Her pastor spoke
in touching and comforting terms, in
his funeral discourse, of her many
Christian graces, saying that those
rarest and loveliest traits, humility
and patience were predominant in
her life. A large congregation gath
cred to pay its last tribute Of affection
10 her memory, and with many tears,
we left her quietly sleeping meath

Stephens Gods acre. There to

Yea, saith the spirit they rest from
their labors, and their works do fol-
low them" E. II. K.

By vote of 244 to 27, the House
OF Representatives adopted the Sen
ate's concurrent resolution recogniz
ing the belligerent rights of the Gu
ban insurgents. Col. VIM. Elliott,
now representing the First Congress
ional District, was the only one of
our Congressman who voted against
the adoption Of the resolution. 1t
now goes to the President for his
signature or veto. What action he
will take on it is, CT course, only con-
lecture, but the indications are that
he will carefully ascertain the facts
before taking final action; the proba.
bilities are against the approvel.of the
resolution by the President. By
the adoption of the resolution Spain
has been stirred from center to cir
cumferenee, the press of that coun-
try being particularly severe and bit
ter in it's denunciation of the United
States. The following are the reso-
lutions as sent to the President:
..In the opinion of congress condition
ofpublic war exists between the government
OF Spain and the government proclaimed and
for some time maintained By force Of arms
by the people of Cuba; and that the United
States of America should maintain rct
neutrality between the coatending pcwers

erents in the ports and territory OF the

OF the United States should be offered by
the President to the Spanish government
for the recognition of ths independence of

St. Stephen 1ooses a Valuable
Membar.

Member.
On the night of February 27, 1896,
the angel of death visited the happy
home of Mr.. and Mrs. John II.
Meetze and snatched away the sweet
soul of their daughter, Mary Olivia.
Rarely are we called upon to
mourn the loss Of a young lady pos
sessed of so many attributes Of
character. How noble, how truly
great, and benevolent, her deeds of
charity are known to every one who
enjoyed the pleasure Of her acquaint-
ance; her pastor bore testimony OF
this in the selection of the text upon
which he based the well chosen re-
marks in his eulogy over her re-
mains: ''Thy gentleness hath made
me great" II Samuel %, 36.
She was a faithful member and
ardent worker in St Stephen Evan
gelical Lutheran church, in which
she served as organist seven success
sive years. Two years she was Re-
cording Secretary for the Womans
Aid Society of this church, dating
from the first election of officers, she
being one of the twelve charter men,
bers of this society, and remained q
cheerful and willing worker to her
death. While we recognize the
wisdom of Almighty God, and bow
submissively to this dispensation OF
his will, which hath so sorely bereft
us; yet it seems strange that she
should, after having labored so assid
iously in the interest of the new tenn
pie which she hoped so soon to
realize, be taken just at its consul
nation.
With her death many a cherished
hope was shattered, not only in her
home will she be missed, where she
was loved so dearly; but in the
church, where she was an earnest
worker, and in society to which she
was an ornament. Verify, she acted
well her part upon this stage of life,
as the curtain of death went down
upon the last scene, it arises for her
to reappear happier in a more glo-
rious realm where all is peace and
love.
She leaves behind her a life and
devotion indelibly stamped upon the
hearts of loved ores which can never
be erased. The choice and beautiful
flowers which adorned her casket ex-
pressed in unspoken language her
lovliness of character, the snow white
lily exemplifed her purity, the sweet
violet Ler modesty, the exquisite
blue hyacinth her constancy, the
fern her sincerity; here we recall the
words of her pastor "In all things
she was sincere" the heliotrope her
devotion the sweet elyssium was
suggestive of her heavenly home,
and the evergreen wreath of her eter-
nifty. Dreary and sad was the day
she was laid to rest, dismal and lone,
Oh! 50 lonely the grave, inexpressible
the aching in the hearts Of her loved
ones as they turned to the home
from which she had gone out forever.
''Go to the grave in all thy early prime;
In full activity OF zeal and power;
A Christian cannot die before his time,
The Lords appointment is the servants
hour"
ONE Who LOVED HER.

Ais Well That Ends Well.
To the Editor of the Dispatch;

To the Editor of the Dispatch;
With q single barrel with small
shot on one side and double barrel
pouring hot shot on the other side
thus surrounded and enfladed is
enough to make fellow feel like sur
rendering, but I am not made that
way. I will make desperate effort
to cut through and stand by my
colo-s.
Mr.. Editor, I am completely, aston
ished and amazed at the tenor or
spirit Of your articles-let me assure
you I did not think of my language
applying to you'll was only think
ing Of patronage cuckoos who had al
ready sold to Cleveland and the
money power, and sitting in very fine
Offices surrounded with every luxury.
O, no; I don't believe you will ever
go back on the people to make the
above language apply to you. Any
Of US are liable to have erroneous
views upon the perplezing questions
of the times. I have expressed my
self as favoring belt rather than
make the mistake of '92. You op-
pose, why is it We cannot discuss the
matter in friendship. I have looked
over that offending letter very closely
and I cannot find where I have erred
SO greatly as to call forth from your
ire this sentence: "his baseless and
groundless charge Of betraying the
people for the patronage of Cleve-
land" do most emphatically deny
making such a charge. You remind
me of the young lady who when her
mother was quarreling with her
neighbor, opened the window
looked out and said: "Hurry up,
mother and call her a thief before
she gets ahead of you" 1t was no
use for you to hurry, for I do not in
tend to use harsh word against you;
for there is no reason why I should.
In 1860 at Charleston, the Demo
cratic party divided on the territorial
question, and both factions made
nominations. Bolt was previously
threatened just as now. Many men
as good as you or I, after taking an
active part in the campaign as Dem
ocrats, fatly refused to vote the
Cleveland ticket and a number voted
the Weaver ticket. If Tillman has
''seen light in the West why should
we not stick to him sooner than to
the East with a name that does not
promise ray Of light?
The only hope for this country, if
there is any at oil, is for all financial
reformers to get together under a
new name and go into the campaign
against any party or parties con-
trolled in any way by the money
power.
You, Mr. Editor, have expressed q
different opinion-let time prove the
right. As exceptions are taken tc
my positive way of expressing my.
self when no offence is intended, ]
