broke into applause as the Colorado
Senator took his seat. So pronounced
was the dem oDstration that Mr.. Faux
ner who was in the chair was obliged
to rap vigorously for order and to warn
the occupants of the galleries that if
the demonstration was repeated the
galleries would be cleared.
Mr.. White followed Mr.. Teller He
said the great trusts knew what they
were doing when they invested their
money in the republican party last fall.
They would not only get the principal
back as the result of the enactment OF
this bill but they would get compound
interest at high rates. He ridiculed the
idea of currency commission which it
was understood the President would
recommend as soon as the tariff bill was
out of the way.
At p. m. the debate is still in pro-
gress, and it is not known when the
vote on the bill will be taken,

Mr.. Grosvenor asked consent for the
consideration OF a resolution giving to
the chairman of committees, when ap.
pointed, authority to employ clerks
during the recess.
Mr.. Meekison objected. "If we don't
reed committees during the session of

need them during the recess"
Mr.. Dingley, the leader of the major
i,y, then arose and stated that he had
been informed that the Senate might
act on the tariff conference report to-
day. "As it is exceedingly important"
said he, ''that the bill should become a
law at the earliest possible moment, l
move recess until o'clock"
There was no objection and the re-
cess was ordered.

AN INTELLIGENT negro, addressing
a meeting of his race in northern city
recently, said:
1.-THE Southern colored man is supe-
rior to the Northern negro. The North
ern negro does not own his own home.
The man without home Is q lawless
man. he has no responsibility, and
the Christian community has to take
care of him in a State prison. While
Southern negroes suffer from lynch
law, Northern negroes suffer a great
deal more from bad whisky and law
lessness. They live in alleys instead OF
owning homes fronting on the street"
That the Southern negroes know on
which side their bread is buttered, is
proved by the fact that with all the de
served lynching and alleged bulldozine
to which they are subject in the South,
so many of them remain here, though
no body objects to their going North.

MURDERED BY A NEGRO BoY.-As
already stated in the GAZETTE, on
Tuesday evening last, near Mounds
Vile, w. Va, a fendish assault was
made upon two children of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mason-Stanley. aged ten years,
and Willie, aged four years. The
former was dead when found, and the
latter, it is thought, cannot survive his
Injuries. Yesterday the murder mys.
terry was cleared, and the self.confessed
murderer is in the hands of the authorl-
ties. He is James Edward Jones, col
ored, son of Harry Jones. He is ff-
teen years old and boy of vicious dis
position, against whom several people
have been warned in the recent past
The fac.s have been kept from the
people of the town as q precautionary
measure, as the excitement is running
high, and they only know as rule
that Jones is suspected and is under
arrest, as the jury sat all day behind
locked doors. A rumor reached the
coroner's jury Wednesday that Edward
Jones had q grievance against the
oldest boy, Stanley, because of his
knowledge tba' Jones had once stolen
bride from Charles Helmes, and
that Helmes had made Jones give it
up. Jones was brought before the jury
Wednesday and was questioned re-
garding his whereabouts Tuesday, but
be told au apparently straightforward
story about being out picking berries
with his father, and at that time no i'm
portance was attached to either the
witness or his evidence except by few.
Yesterday morning, however, he was
again summoned, and in his testimony
he fatty contradicted that Of the day
before. He finally broke down and
made u clean breast of the whole affair
going into all the details as to cutting
Stanlsy's throat and dealing murderous
blows with stick on Willie.

The republicans and their allies, the
boilers, are resorting to ridiculous state
ments in order to sustain their asser,
tions that prosperity has been restored.
One is that the increased demand for
small notes is sure sign ofsuch resto.
ration. But the real reasons for that de-
maud are the need the farmers are in
for the price of their now harvested
crops, their lack of money with which
to make change for larger notes, and
the fact that what they have to sell
amounts to so little that it can be paid
for very readily with small notes. The
demand for large notes would be a
much better sign Of the revival Of pros.
perity.

Own,G to the short wheat crop, not
only in Europe but in South America,
the price of wheat has advanced, to the
benefit OF the farmers of tbia country
il not to that of the other people there
of. Of course the republicans will at
tribute this advance to their new tariff
bill, which imposes duty on wheat,
though, IS no wheat is ever imported
into this country, such duty proves
that those who imposed it imagine that
the majority of their fellow citizens are
simpletons, and, unfortunately for the
latter, and in spite of their free schools
and cheap newspapers, they have too
good ground for doing so.
