complishing the end sought. Ifthese
men are to live off of this country
without becoming citizens they
should be made to pay their share of
its support or return home.
We trust, however, that a proper
restrictive act will be passed by Con
gress before long. One that gave
great satisfaction and had been petit
toned for by the people was passed
by the Republican Congress, but was
vetoed out by President Cleveland.
President Mckinley would not veto
such an act, and there is good reason
to believe that at its regular session
the present Congress will pass anoth-
er and then more satisfactory meas
ure.

n great deal of injustice has been
done Senator Wellington, of Mary
land, by the press of the country in
reporting the proceedings of the Sen
ate committee on commerce in con
sidering the qualifications of the gen
tleman appointed to the consulship
at Leipsic, Germany, by the presi-
dent.
The senator objected to the appoint
ment on the grounds of unftness. He
did not want the appointment cred
tied to the Republican.party of Mary
land. He claimed the gentleman was
not fitted for the service and there
fore would be a discredit to the con
sular service of the country.
The president, for some reason,
would not withdraw the appoint
ment. This is unfortunate for the
country. 1t seems to us no man in
the country is better fitted to deter
mine what the Republican party
needs in Maryland and the South
than the senator. He is the first man
who was able to open the gateway to
the South for the Republican party.
The gateway has been closed for thir-
ty-twO years, and this leader was the
first to open it. He is entitled to en-
enlargement and consideration by
the Republican leaders. All he asks
is Justice
He not only has the Democratic
party of Maryland to fight, but also
has a Republican ring in the city
council of Baltimore to resist. Every
pledge he has made to the people of
his native State has been redeemed
by the enactment of the legislation
demanded by the people. A great
deal is being said about presidential
prerogatives and senatorial preroga-
tives. They are well defined by the
constitution.
The president of the United States
has a power almost despotic. His
power is second only to that of the
car of Russia and it is well that
senator has the courage and patriot
ism to arise in his seat to teach the
president and the country the pre-
negatives of a senator. The fathers
were wise, in framing the constitu-
ton, in throwing around the Repub-
lie the strong arm of the senate.
We believe Senator Wellington is
right and will win in the end. He is
honest, brave and sincere. He is de-
voted to principle. To this brave
man who led the Republican party of
the South to its duty and its mission,
who overcame the members of the
opposition, who lifted that section
from the slough of prejudice and led
them out of the darkness of tradition,
let there be all honor and praise.
The struggle is not yet ended, the
final battle is not fought, but com
plete victory sooner or later is assured.
In moral as in physical conflicts it
may be easy to determine who strikes
the first blow, but it is difficult to
foresee who may strike the last

And, once thou dost, l prithee, too,
Make haste and safely bind it,

Were twanging soft, and your bold eyes
Read right IN mine their riddles.

Good Times at Hand.

The present administration has been
in power only four months, and so
some calamity howlers are looking
for the errors of four years to be cor
rected in so short a time. Yet, not
withstanding the impossibility of
such an expectation, the truth is,
that good times are at hand and the
news comes from all directions. For
this all good citizens will be thankful,
but what shall be said of nest of
politicians who are playing the copper
head game as they did in the war,
and attempting to defeat good times
in hopes of securing Democratic
success.-Free Quill.

Difficult Points for Tariff Conferees
Settla.

Settle.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-The tariff |
conferees have struck some snags in
their work. The minor matters were
easily adjusted, but on all important
matters there has been no agreement,
and the outlook today was that sew
eral reports would have to be made
before an adjustment could be
reached. The House conferees are
standing solidly by their bill and the
Senate cOnferees are no less tena-
cious.
The Senate conferees have laid be
fore the House members the condition
in the Senate, where there is not an
actual majority of the Republicans,
and where other than Republican
votes are necessary to pass the bill or
adopt a conference report. They as
serted that in 1894 the Democrats were
in better shape III the Senate than
the Republicans are now, as they had
an actual majority, yet the House
was finally compelled to accept the
Senate bill in order to pass it.
The members of the House are
standing by their bill, nevertheless,
and have told the senators that they
cannot accept the Senate amend
ments on many important items. The
more important features of the bill
are not settled, and the cOnferees find
trouble on items outside of sugar,
wool, coal and lead, Lumber has been
in dispute, and the House conferees
have insisted that the House rate on
white pine must be accepted, and
they have been supported in this by
! Senator Burrows, of Michigan. The
House rate was 50 and the Senate re-
| duced it to 81. The Senate cOnferees
say that if the House rate is restored
it will provoke a long discussion in
the Senate, and that no one can tell
when the bill would get out of the
| Senate again. Straw mating, which
| the Senate put on the free list, is an
item of contention. The House con-
| ferees have refused to accept even the
rate which was originally reported in
the Senate bill and stand for the
House rate. Burlaps, cotton ties and
other items which were placed on the
free list by the Senate met with great
hostility from the House conferees
and so far nothing in the way of a
compromise offered by the Senate
members has been accepted.
The House conferees are also insist
ing upon higher compensatory duties
on manufactures of cotton on account
of the duty of 20 per cent. on raw cot
ton. The House members have main
tanned that the House bill has been
commended more than the Senate
bill, and that the conference should
get as close to it as possible. The
Senate conferees, in addition to pre-
Esenting the present political com
pleXion of the Senate, have pointed
out the difficulty that will occur if
several reports of partial agreements
and disagreements are made They
have told the House members that it
will lead to endless discussion, that
they have no power to force a vote,
and that there is not a majority in the
Senate to keep the Senate in session
in case of a tilibuster against the CON

THE stock exchanges of New York,
Chicago and other great cities are in
quite a furry over the fact that the
Republicans inserted a clause in the
new tariff bill proposing to levy tax
of two cents per share on all pur-
chases of stock of a par value of 800
or less, and also stamp tax upon all
stocks issued, except by building as
sociations and organizations of a sim
liar character. This proposition, it
is believed, will add an average of a
million dollars a month to the income
OF the government and is destined to
be an extremely popular and satisfac-
tory addition to the tariff bill.

THE fact that the antitrust propO-
sition was not incorporated in the
tariff bill does not mean that the Re
publicans are going to omit its active
support. On the contrary, it will be
pushed as an independent measure
at once, the only reason for the fail
ure to place it in the tariff bill being
because of the delay in that measure
which the discussion of this PROPOSE
ton would be sure to cause.

THE wheat crop of the United States
is in most sections good and the pros
poets are for much better prices than
those realized last year. This will
make the calamity campaign which
the Democrats are proposing to wage
somewhat difficult, especially in Ohio,
Indiana and Kentucky, whose farm
ers will realize probably $5,00O,O 600
more for their wheat than they did
last wear.

WHILE the presence of several
months supply of bonded goods in
the warehouses of the country will
largely reduce the earnings of the
new tariff law for the first few months
of its existence, Chairman Dingley
and other tariff experts in Washing

law will supply ample revenue after
this stock of anticipatory imports
is disposed of.

1t is the age of hustling. AS the
New York Herald says: "a merchant
may have the finest wares of their
kind on earth, but if he goes asleep
and waits for people to discover the
merits of his goods he is liable to get
left. There's reason why this is
so-peOple haven't time to go from
store to store to hunt up the things
which they need. As rule they do
their exploring among the advertise
ments. If they find promising indi-
cations there they follow them up.
In any case, they go instinctively to
the stores they know of-the stores
that beckon to them through the
newspapers.

Died.

Died.
Having seen but a slight notice of
the death of Mrs. Mary Ann Savage,
which occurred at her home near
Sang Run, June %, 1897, we deem it
no more than just to speak of at least
some of the good qualities of her life
Her age was above siXty-eight years
To all those who knew her she was a
living epistle known and read by
them. She was industrious, self-de-
nying, charitable and kind to all, and
ever ready and willing to lend a help
ing hand in every time of need.
Being quiet, gentle, patient, for
bearing and sympathetic, this good
those she visited in doing them
good; in visiting the sick, relieving
the suffering, and distributing to
needs and necessities, thus willing as
it were, to sacrifice her own life for
that of others.
Her Borrowing children feel the
heavy loss of dear, devoted, kind
and loving christian mother Her
husband preceded her to the spirit
world over four years. She joined the
Brethren or Dunkard church about
nine years ago, and until that time
had lived a member of the NJ. f.
church. She bore her sickness with
great christian fortitude, often saying
| that she was fully resigned to the will
of the Lord. a few days before her
death one of her daughters asked her
if she should sing her a hymn, one
she had just composed, being thus:
AS fades the world from out my view,
SO fades within my breast its charms.
To this she replied, yes, yes, you
know l always loved singing" Then
proceeding till these lines were
! reached,
tbs heaven, O heaven, my soul delights
| To view thy glories all sublime,
a sanity smile was seen to come over
her face, and lifting up her feeble
hands she clasped them together and
looked upward as if already enjoying
a foretaste of Heaven. Thus peace
fully and serenely closed the life of a
good woman.
The funeral services were conducted
by Elder II. w. Sines, from the text
of her own selection. found in Rev.
DIST chapter and 4th verse, after which
her remains were inferred on the
home place beside those of her hus-
band.
Thus one by one fall the members
of family till all shall have crossed
over; but glorious reunion awaits
the faithful.
