The officials realize the importance of
having younger and more active men at
these dangerous crossings, and the Com
missioners are determined to have them
protected as we'll as possible, and want
the officers to compel drivers to obey the
law. 1t is against the law for drivers to
let their horses pass these crossings at a
rate of speed faster than walk, and this
is the law about the enforcement of which
the officials are anxious. In this connec-
ton il is stated that officer win he de-

THE TARIFF BILL.
1t May Not Be Reported From the
Senate Finance Committee

1t is seriously doubted whether the tariff
bill can even be reported from the finance
committee of the Senate. The eastern re-
publfcans are feeling the embarrassment of
the position in which they are placed by
assumirg the responsibility for the COM
mittee without the power to control its ac-
ton. The caucus has instructed them to
report the tariff bill without amendment.
Mr.. Jones of Nevada has declared that he
vii! not vote to report The bill unless 1t is
amended. Mr.. Woicott is said to have
taken 4 similar attitude Without this
populist and this free silver vote the re-
publicans are minority Of the committee
The democrats will all vote against the re-
port. This makes situation not promising
for the measure. Nothing is to be done in
the committee before Tuesday, and what
can he done then is uncertain.
Silver Conference.
1t is expected that conference of those
silver men who propose to make a silver
amendment to the bill a prerequisite of
their support of the bill will be held this
week. Enough of the silver Senators have
declared their intention to vote against a
free coinage amendment to the bill to make
it probable that, with the aid of the anti
silver democrats the amendment will be
comes up there for action. But after vot-
ing against the free silver amendment.
these same democrats will vote against the
bill itself. There was some talk of the
anti-siver democrats playing politics ana
permitting the silver amendment to be
adopted so as to load the bill down and
defeat it. Their conferences have resulted.
however, in the conclusion that they can
not afford to do this, and they intend TO
vote against the amendment.
Assuming for the purpose of developing
the situation that the tariff bill is reported
and that the silver amendment is defeated
| IN the Senate, the action of a few silver
| men, Under the leadership of Teller, will
decide the fate of the measure as far as
Congress is concerned.
Will Vote Asafnst the BILL
It is declared that the two Senators from
Colorado, the two from Idaho, the two from
Montana and the two from Wyoming will
vote against the bill if the silver amend
ment is not attached to it. Here are eight
republican votes to add to the solid demo-
cratic column in opposition, which is more
| than enough to defeat the measure. There
| may be other republicans populists who
! will vote against it because sugar Is not
provided for along with the other benefited

Satisfaction Mt President Cleveland's
Message-Secretury Olney Praised.
Venezuelan newspapers up to December
81, received here today, show that she
boundary Line dispute brought forward
prominently by President Cleveland's mes
sage to Congress continues to be the topic
which Is absorbing public attention In that
country. The papers contain extracts of
the message. reports of public meetings ap-
proving the Presidents action and patriotic
and stirring editorials app.auding it. The
editorial comments breathe spirit Of 10y
atty and unity that shows the feeling OF the
people on the subject. Some Of the news
papers print portraits of Presidents Monroe
and Cleveland, the former being named as
the founder OF the doctrine which bears his
name and the latter as the upholder of the
great prlnciple. 1t is pointed out a sim
guar coinc dence that President Cleveland s
message on the Venezuelan question was
sent to Congress on the Sixty-fifth ami
versary of the death Of Bolivar.
Secretary O.ney also comes in for good
deal of praise and commendauon, and tele-
grams in the Caracas newspapers from all
over Venezuela commend the attitude of
the President and his Secretary of State.
There was a tremendous gathering to ex-
press the manifestation OF approval by citi-
zens at Caracas on the 25th OF December,
at which 10000 persons were present, in
Guiding French, Italian and Spanish colo
nists. DR.. Ely q. Gonzales delivered an ad-
dress, which was responded 10 by the min
lister of the interior. The Spanish colonists
have offered their services to the govern
ment in the event OF the breaking out of
hostilities with Great Britain. A popular
manner of influencing the public and keep

issued by the various societies. and num-

THE TERRITORIAL DELEGATES,

They Ali Hope to Secure Statehood
for Their Respective Territories.
The three territorial delegates, Messrs.
Flynn of Oklahoma, Murphy of Arizona
and Catron Of New Mexico, are wagfng a
very vigorous campaign in Congress to Sc
cure favorable action upon their bills for
the admission Of the respective territories
represented by them to statehood. Each
delegate considers the achievement of state
hood the chief mission of his congressional
career, and their energies are bent upon
securing 1T.
They are anxious to have the bills before
the territories committee reported to the
House and disposed of in some way, and
having made a canvass of the committee
bei1eVe that more than tWo-thirdS of it's
members will vote for favorable reports.
The bills for the admission of Arizona
and New Mexico before this Congress are
enabling acts modelled upon the act by
which Utah was elevated to statehood with
certain notifications demanded by local
conditions. ArIzonaS bill, which was de-
bated by the last House, stipulated for i'm
mediate statehood on a constitution which
had already been formed by the people, but
there was doubt concerning the legal stand
ing Of the convention. Mr.. Flynn's new
Oklahoma bill differs from the former one
In giving authority to Congress to attach
any or all Of the Indian territory to Okla
homa when the lands have been allotted
and made subject to taxation.
EX-Gov. Murphy of Arizona, who is now
the territorial delegate, and who has sound
ed the views Of Congress on the question,
says that he finds a strong sentiment for
the abolition of the territorial system, but
that there is much opposition to the ad-
mission of Arizona, New Mexico or Okla
homa, on the part of eastern members, who
object to increasing the free silver strength
of the Senate.
THE people of my territory are not ex-
tremlsts OH the financial question" he said.
THE territory produces more gold and
copper than silver, and moreover it is not
certain but that the added impetus given
to gold mining has compensated for the
decreased use of silver as money. Although
We are western people with western views
we are not extremists. Moreover, our state
hood would not be acquired for a year
under the bill, when the presidential elec-
ton would be past and when the financial
question might have been removed from
politics as disturbing factor. 1t seems
unjust that a mere incidental issue should
stand in the way of our undoubted claims
to statehood.
Mr.. Catron of New Mexico believes that
the committee will undoubtedly make a
favorable report on the statehood bills, and
that the chances for success in the House
are good. The territorial form of govern
ment, he says, is unrepublican and an
anomaly; that 1t does not command the
confidence Of the residents Of the territories
or others because the officers are respon-
sible to the appointing power instead of the
people, and that it materially retards the
development of the country.

LINcotN's RESOLVE.
It Was Made After He Had Heard STAN
ton In q Law Case.

It Was Made After He Had Heard STAN
ton In q Law Case.
There is in all truly great men mix
tnre of self reliance and Of humility
two traits that are not so contradictory
as they seem. Lincoln exhibited both
traits in a remarkable degree. His acts
showed the one, his words frequently
expressed the other. gH
An anecdote in McClure's Magazine,
in an article by Ida M. Tarbell, if we
read it Alright, brings out the secret of
this apparent contradiction. Lincoln s
humility impelled him to the exertion
which gave him his self confidence The
anecdote parrates the first meeting of
the man who was to be president with
the mau who was to be his secretary Of
war. ,t, oui.,,
Abraham Lincoln and Edwin M.
Stanton were employed as counsel on
the same side in great patent case
which was tried in Cincinnati in 1855.
1t was arranged by their clients-much
to Lincoln's disappointment-that STAN
ton should make the closing argument.
Lincoln had prepared himself for the
effort with unusual care, but he ac-
quiesced good naturally in the decision
which put him in the second place.
Stanton's argument was one of great
force, and Lincoln listened to il with
the closest attention throughout. The
narrator of the incident, Mr.. Ralph
Emerson, says that Mr.. Lincoln took a
long walk with him after the court had
adjourned for the day. Mr.. Lincoln
was silent long time. Then he ex-
claimed suddenly:
Emerson. l am going homei I am
going home to study law"
why, y returned Mr.. Emerson, "Mr.
Lincoln, you stand at the head of the
bar in Illinois nowl What are you talk
ing aboutp''
a"Ah, yes, F" he said, II do occupy a
good position there. and I think I can
get along with the way things are done
there now. But these college trained
men, who have devoted their whole
lives to study, are coming west. don't
you see? And they study their cases as
we never do. They have got as far "a
CINCINNATI now. They will soon be in
Illinois.
Another long pause; then, stopping
ana turning toward Mr.. Emerson, his
countenanoe suddenly assuming that
look OF strong determination which
those who knew him best sometimes
saw upon his face, he exclaimed:
i am going home tovtudy lawl I
am as good as any Of them, and when
they get out to Illinois will be ready
for theml'
