To impose . tax Of two cents q
pound on hides would be 70 levy q
tax upon the whole people Of the
country. and entirely for the bene-
fit Of the great cattle trust that has
made the nation pay tribute to It for
the last decade. The Providence
Journal independently says: "All
that these good repu blicans and pro.
tectionists are saying against the
proposed tariff on hides is perfectly
true. Il would indeed burden home
manufacturers Of leather. destroy the
export trade In leather goods, re.
duce wages and increase the cost OF

Republican Caucus Nominates VIM. j. De
Doe for the Senate.
Frankfort. KY, April 2i.-The Repub-
lican joint legislative caucus nominated
William j. Deboe about midnight last
night. Baird, the gold Democrat. was
present and there were some paired alb
sentees. Baird was ruled out in the
count necessary to elect, but they al
lowed him to vote nevertheless. Rev.
Mr.. Order was the first man to turn
to Deboe. who started out with thirty.
one votes-within five OF the number
for nomination. Holt showed weakness
from the beginning. and the vote for
the others was scarcely worth mention
ing. The number CT scattering votes
nine-.ndicated to those who know q
thing or two that the caucus would ar
rive at some conclusion last night.
Baird's vote for peboe on one ballot
gave him thirty-,wo votes. but it only
counted as thirty-one. After the twen-
ty-four:h ballot it was decided that the
hindU:ost ,.!'r must be dropped. The
absencees sssa. divided between Lewis
and Boyle. The five boilers up to this
time and further along declined to vote
On the twenty-s;xth ballot Evans wal
dropped, being the lowest. Deboe was
still within five of an election and the
boilers could have nominated him. Or
the twenty eight ballot the boilers came
in and settled the matter.

A BIT OF HISTORY.
Cermantown. Pa, Was Once Called TN
Capital Of the Country.

GermantoWn, Pa, Was Once Called the
Capital Of the Country.
Apupil In the Boys Grammar school,
on Lafayette street, Germantown, was
asked by his teacher "when tho first
congress occupied the Germantown
academy. located ON West School lane. -
1t was a puzzle, Of course, to the young
scholar, who was at q loss to find any
thing in print verifying such an event.
The facts, however, from which the
false impression has frequently obtained
are as follows: The government Of the
United States was first iDaugurated in
New York in 1889, but by act Of con-
gress Philadelphia was made the capital
Of the nation from 1890 until 1900. In
1898 the yellow fever became epidemic
in this city, and it was in October Of
that year that the governor Of Pennsyl-
vania asked the board Of trustees to &C
commodate the house of assembly, and
similar request for quarters came from
congress.
At the November meeting following
the board proffered to congress the
choice Of the school building, but there
is no minute evidence to show that con.
gress accepted the generous offer. Al
this time Washington resided in German
town. and the town was spoken Of a,
the government place Of the state, anG
also Of the United States. Jefferson.
then secretary Of state, and Randolph
attorney general, occupied the building
some years ago torn down to extend tho
site on which the National bank now
stands, ut Main street and School lane
So. with Washington. Thomas Jeffer
son and John Randolph residing is Ger
mantown, it is not strange that the con
clusion should be formed that congress.
was in session at the same time. AL
though the Germantown academy nevel
had the honor Of accommodating con
gress. few years later. in 1898, wheI
the yellow fever made its appearance
again in this city, the banks Of Norti
America and Of Pennsylvania did find {
temporary place of safety in the ole
academy. Record.
