Dies From Alcoholism.

London, March 30.-A large
crowd of curious people attended
the funeral today of Miss Isabel
Murphy, youngest daughter OF the
late Daniel Murphy, the California

With the largest tow of coal ever
fioated on the Ohio, perhaps the
largest on any river. It contained
sixty barges loaded with 800, 600

req euire forty.seven trains OF forty

the tow q small steamer is attached
crosswise to the current to threw

The Pie Counter.

Clinton Democrat.
4 prominent republican of Clin-
ton recently had occasion to write
Congressman DeArmond on busi-
ness matter and concluded his letter
by jocalarly asking Mr. DeArmond
if he could get hold of an office for
a good Missouri republican to hold
on to it and telegraph the writer.
Mr. DeArmond in like vein replied:
unfortunately, I am not supplied
with a stock Of offices from which
you might select one to your taste.
Judging, however, from the fact
that large number of Missouri re-
publicans have thus far hung back
from the pie counter, / think there
may be great supply of good offices
going to seed"

Out Of Bond.

New York, April There was
great rush yesterday to Fay duties
at the custom house. Importers had
heard that the new Dingley tariff
was to be in effect from April l. and
they wanted to obtain the benefit OF
the lower duties under the Wilson
law. The total receipts were $l,.
72O,453 and of this sum 81, 1858. S.232
represented duties on goods with
drawn from bond leaving the amount
of duties on direct importations at
$45e, 900. The duties paid were
mostly on woolens and tobacco. The
receipts at the New York custom
house for the month OF March were
s17,579,e33. They were exceeded
in any one month only once before
| in the history OF the Government.

Where the Burden Will Rest.

New Ysrk World
Mr. Dingley makes on tho hoor OF
the House the remarkable assertion
that the burden of restored Mckin.
ley rates will fall chiefly on 1.-The
schedules covering luxuries like to-
bacco, liquors, silks asd lacss
Against this We have the figures Of
Mr.. Dingley's summary of the effects
Of the bill, made on the 18th. ''From
sugar, he says, 1--WE estimate s2O,-
O00,0o additional revenue. We
place the increased revenue from
wool at $11,OOO,O0O. Anticipating
that the imports of woolens will fall
off nearly SO per cent from the enor-
nous imports of 1896, We estimate
the increased revenue from this
source under the proposed rates at
$14,0OO,OOO."
This is total of S25.000,00 in.
crease in the taxes on wool and wool
ems admitted by Mr.. Dingley. The
table which he published in this con
nection showed that his taxes or
wool and woolens, On the basis Of
last years importations, would bs
$44, 100000, as against only $1,000,
900 on silks, Sl,sOO,OO0 on liquor
and S7,OOO,OOO on tobacco.
So it appears from Mr.. Dingley
own figures that for every dollar o
increase on silks, liquors and tobacc
combined he has made 81 OF increas
on wool and woolen goods alone. l
the face of such facts, how absurd
ia for him TO keep up the idle falls
pretense that he is attempting
relieve the masses or to force tE
users of luxuries to bear their shal
of the burden of taxation.

Worse Than Mckinley Tariff.

Worse Than Mckinley IariH.
New York World.
The original Mckinley bill was
known throughout the country and
condemned at the polls as the worse
than war tariff. This was not an ex.
aggeration. The average duty under
the first war tariff. in 1862, was sc
per cent ad valorem. At the close OF
the war it was Al per cent. Under
the Mckinley law it wes over so per
cent.
But the Dingley bill, as framed,
threatens a ''worse. than Mckinley

Weakness of the High Price Scheme.

We are all going to have great

is, who is going to start paying the

body wants to get higher prices, but
nobody wants to pay them. The
consumer is willing to pay more
when he gets more; the mid
dleman will pay the wholesaler mere
when his customers buy more at
higher prices; the wholesale will pay
the manufacturer more when the

Party Organization.
Washington, D. c., March a -
President G F. Black announces the
following executive committee of the
National association of the Demo-
cratic clubs to serve until 1900:
Benton McMillin, Tennessee; George
H. Lambert, New Jersey; Stephen
NJ. White, California; Edward Muir.

Stone, Missouri; II. B. Money, Mis-.
sissippi; George Fred Williams,
Massachusetts; j. G. Dahlman, Ne
braska; J. S. Hogg, Texas; J. C.
Sibley, Pennsylvania.
A statement issued with the an-
nouncement of the committee Gays:
each of the gentlemen named on
this committe gave loyal support to
the candidates and platform of the
the party in the last Presidential
campaign, therefore it is to be pre-
sumed that they can be depended
upon in the future, thereby making
this committee in great contrast
with it's predecessor which had upon
it majority of members who not
only contributed money but worked
to bring defeat to the party which
honored them Among these were
VIM. L. Wilson, Henry Waters on,
Don NJ. Dickinson and John G.
Black.
The selection of the committee
has been very deliberate. Instead
of naming the committee in the
midst of the campaign of last year
President Black pursued the unusua
, course of going on with the work o
the association without a committe,
in complete harmony with him ant
the party. Since this committe
holds for four years and PRACTICAL
controls the vast system of regula
democratic clubs-the most efficien
h means of popular agitation now avail
