Tariff Bill Passed the Senate.

BY the decisive vote OF 38 to % the
tariff bill was passed in the Senate
shortly before 5 o'clock, July 7, The
elimination Of the long and arduous
struggle had excited the keenest interest
and the floor and the galleries Of the
Senate chamber were crowded by those
anxious to witness the closing scene.
Speaker Reed, Chairman Dingley and
many Of the members Of the House Of
Representatives were in the rear area,
while every seat in the galleries, save
those reserved for foreign representa-.
tives, was occupied.
The main interest oentered in the final
vote, and aside from this there was little
of dramatic character in the debate.
The early part Of the day was spent on
amendments Of comparatively minor i'm
portance, the debate branching into
financial and antitrust channels. BY 4
o'clock the Senators began manifesting
their impstience by calls for "vote," and
soon thereafter the last amendment was
disposed of and the final vote began.
There were many Interruptions, as pairs
were arranged, and then, at 4:55 o'clock,
the Vice President arose and announced
the passage of the bill--yeas, 38; nays,
28. There was no demonstration, but q
few scattered handclRps were given as
the crowds disappeared.
The vote in detail follows

THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE
Opposes Fusion and Stands by POpulIst
Doctrines.

Doctrines.
The session Of the National Confer
ence Of the Peoples party at Nashville,
Tenn, closed the evening of July
g. The committee on resolutions
did not finish it's report until early that
afternoon, owing to the large number Of
resolutions which had been referred to
it, the conference having decided to refer
all resolutions without debate. The re-
port Of the committee was read by Hon.
Ignatius Donnelly Of Minnesota, and it's
presentation was followed by long dis
cussion, which ended in the report being
adopted. A minority report was also
submitted.
The majority report was very long
document, the committee first taking up
and discussing at length history Of re-
form movements. The resolutions con-
tanned in the majority report provided
for the appointment by the conference OF
a committee Of organization, composed
Of three from each State, the chairman
Of the committee to be chosen by the
conference. 1t also provided for the
appointment of an executive committee
Of five, whose duty it shall be to preserve
and defend the party, and it further pro-
vided that the conference should elect a
secretary and treasurer Of the commit
tee, who shall serve until the meeting of
the next National convention. The COM
mittee's duty is to organize the party
and cooperate with the National Ex-
ecutive Committee when it is in line with
Populist principles. The majority report
says in part:
"While we have nothing but kindly
feelings toward the rank and file of our
late allies, We do not believe that the
question Of free silver is in itself broad
enough platform for a National party.
The reconciliation Of silver would, we
believe, increase the price Of labor and
it's productions, by increasing the supply
OF money, and it is therefore matter of
the utmost consequence to all the people
Of the United States; but it must not be
forgotten that the opening Of the mints
to silver would not decrease one iota the
robberies Of the corporations, the usur.
erq, the rings and the trusts. 1t will
avail nothing to add to the value Of labor
and it's productions if the exactions of
plunderers are permitted to increase in
equal or greater proportion"
Further on the report says: "While
we are utterly opposed to fusion and
know that it has brought dissensions in
our ranks, we recognize the fact that
many who favored it did so in the sincere
belief that it was best for the country
and for the party but while holding
these views, we declare that no conven-
tion, caucus or committee Of our party
shall ever again bind us to any fusion
agreement with either the Democratic
or Republican party"
The minority report condemns the
management Of the last campaign, and
appeals to the National Committee to
organize and prepare to conduct future

AN ERA OF PROSPERITY.

The Chicago Dispatch points out that
both Republicans and Democrats agree
that once upon a time there was an
era of prosperity in the United States
When was this era of prosperity?
Thomas B. Reed referred to it in his
campaign speeches during the last
presidential contest, and, strange to
sav. admitted that it existed when gold
and silver were used conformity as the
currency of the nation. AS this is
fact of history. of course. it could not
be denied. but Republicans are very
careful nowadays not to make any APP
peals TO history.
The Sherman purchasing act was
condemned by the magnates of Wall
street and finally stricken from the
statutes. but Benjamin Harrison in
1890 said in a presidential message that
the Sherman purchasing act, which
provided for the purchase of 100000
ounces of silver per month, had given
an upward tendency to trade.
What became of this era of prosper
ity? 1t ended when the final demone-
tization of silver had been accomplish
ed. 1t has never been present in this
country since that day. It can never
return until silver is restored to its
constitutional rights.
Gold monometallism saps the vital
ity of business. 1t destroys value in
property and products. 1t prevents
investments, because it weakens secur-
tiles. 1t is only beneficial to the few
who belong 10 the creditor class, and it
will. in the end, completely ruin every
individual in the great debtor class.
Bimetallistn means 2 revival of bust
ness, hope for the men struggling to
sustain the burden Of debt, happiness
for the wage Garner and a return of
the departed era of prosperity.

visited to-day by many persons. A
wrecking train worked there all day,
repairing the trestle and saving the
shattered coaches, and tonight trains
are moving over the road as usual
The postal authorities report that
probably nearly all of the mail carried
on the train was lest or destroyed.
When the wreck occurred the five pos
tai clerks are supposed to have had
all their pouches open and to have
been at work distributing the mail. The
car was so broken and splintered that
most of the mail fioated off, probably
TO drift into the Missouri river and be
lost. The Wabash train this evening
carries all the Kansas City sacks and
no mail for the east, and it is always

POOR OLD SHERMAN.

In view of Secretary Sherman
cloudy mental condition. criticism OF
his puzzling course in the Hawaiian
matter is withheld or softened. The
case Of the aged statesman is another
pitiable example of heartless sacrifice
to political ambition. He is the victim
OF Mark Hanna.
When the name of Sherman was
suggested for the Secretaryship OF
State those who knew him we'll were
surprised and shocked. No secret was
made of the fact that age was making
ravages in his intellectual powers and
that he would be unequal to the bur-
dens of the office. His friends protest
ed against the proposition to bring into
conspicuous publicity the growing
weakness of the distinguished states
man who had served his full time in
public life. 1t was hoped that he
would be allowed to serve out his term
in the Senate, where he was at home
and where his failings would be shield
ed from public view.
But Boss Hanna wanted to go into
the Senate and his only opportunity
was TO get rid of the old Senator from
Ohio and take his place Dy appoint
menJ. Despite the warnings Of Mr..
Sherman's friends, the plans were laid
10 satisfy Hanna's ambition and the
venerable statesman was tempted and
betrayed into the acceptance of a high
Office where he could gain nothing but
humiliation. Humiliation was cou-
pied with the offer in the statement
that the work and responsibility would
be borne by the Assistant Secretary.
The result is the pitiable spectacle Of
chattering senility exposed to the view
of the world and officially emphasized
by the protest of Japan against the
deception of her Minister at Washing
ton.
OF course. something must be done
TO prevent the holding up of the United
States TO the ridicule OF the civilized
world. The business and the secrets OF
state cannot be intrusted to an aged in
capable who is irresponsible for his Ut
terances. But whatever is done
whether he is relieved of all but the
name of Secretary or is forced into re-
tirement-there must be humiliation.
The evil has been wrought. The sacri-
fee to Hanna's ambition falls heavily
on the feeble victim.

The past week in the oil fields OF
West Virginia has been quiet. The
most important operations were in the
Elk Fork development in Tyler There
were a number of wells drilled in, but
none extended the territory. The most
important was the drilling in of the
dry holes on the Prickett farm by G.
f. Foster & Co., and those on the Low
ery farm by Work & Co. All were
ahead of development, and II they had
come in producers would have increas-
ed business. AS the matter stands at
present. there are two or three wells
shut down on account of these dry
holes and a number OF locations which
were made will not be drilled.
There were three good wells drilled
in during the week, owned by Crawford
& Treat. The first was their NO. on
the Asher farm, which made almost 200
barrels the first twelve hours. Their
No. 8 on the same farm was drilled IN
Thursday evening, and will make 300
barrels.
Crawford & Treats No. 4, on the B.
F. Hawkins farm, one of the first farms
TO produce oil in this field, was drilled
in and is making 600 barrels.
About month ago the Carter OIL
Company. while drilling for gas on
inns run, back of Matamoras, in
Washington county, O., developed a
we'll good for about 100 barrels a day
in the Maxson sand, but for some rea-
son very little was ever said about the
strike. Since that time the Carter as
we'll as the Fisher Oil Company, has
been leasing extensively. Now that
oil has been found in paying quantities
there is a rush for the territory.
