\ FRANK ADMISSION.

Mr.. Hepburn, Il Republican leader in
the House. made an admission on the
floor on Friday that utterly damns the
Dngley bill. Mr.. Dockcry had offered
an amendment to the enacting clause that
was in the nature Of proviso that when
ever it was shown to the satisfaction of
the President that there was a trust or
combination to control the price of any
article ON the dutiable list. the duty on
such article should be suspended.
There was a wide range Of discussion
got the floor he said if Mr.. Dockery's
amendment should be adopted. 1T would
defeat the purpose of the bill. which was
simply Il way of stating that the Ding
ley bill is introduced in the interests of
trusts. as return for their campaign con
tributions last year. When the Demo
Gratis allied him on his frank admission
Mr.. Hepburn tried to rid his party of its
force by saying that it would be possible
under such "A provision for a few men
who really desired free wool and free
sugar to effect a combination to raise
the prices of sugar and wool and thus
under the amendment force those articles
to the free list. But that was an after
thought.
The Dingley bill is drawn to increase
the taxes on the people and TO increase
the profits to the trusts and .monopolies.
That was apparent from reading the bill,
and Mr.. Hepburn's frank admission but

GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION.

DAVIS paper from the pen of DR.. Lyman
Abbott, editor of the Outlook. an able

give weight to his sound and logical ar

last are easily and promptly quelled,"
but 1.-The greed of concentrated wealth

THE CORSAIR SPECIAL"

We have before us the schedule of a
special train which ran from New York
to Jekyl Island, Florida, conveying Pier.
pont Morgan land his chums" on a
hunting expedition. This schedule was
issued only to this special party. We
alluded to the running of this train in
our issue of February 25th ultimo. We
now call attention to the particular fit
ness of the name. Corsair, according to
Webster, means:
]. \ pirate, one who courses or scours
the ocean without authorization to seize
and plumber merchantmen.
,. A piratical vessel.
The past history of Morgan & Co. in

special wonderment. Jugurtha, mock

WAS PAUL A PRESBYTERIAN.

Some time ago we proved to the
entire satisfaction of all the Presby-
terians that st. Patrick was a Pres
byterian, and now comes the Rev. DIR.
Beams excellent religious family
newspaper, 1.-THE Southern Presby-
terian," with demonstration that st.
Paul was a Presbyterian. We note
that Brother Bean does not call him
st. Paul, but just plain Paul. We
do not mind saying that both the Bap-
lists and Roman Catholics lay some
claim to st. Patrick, and that their
respective claims appear to be very
we'll founded. We would not be sur
prised if they should now put in
claim to Paul or st. Paul.-Charles-
ton News and Courier.
This calls to mind a bright dialogue of
pleasant badinage between Rev. w. G.
Norman, pastor of Edenton street Meth
odist church in Raleigh, and Maj. A. NJ.

father in the early history of this city
was known as pastor of the city" Meet
ing Mai. McPheeters one morning during
interesting and successful revival SER
vices he was conducting in the Methodist
church, Mr.. Norman said: Were you
out at the services last night?'
Yes replied Maj. McPheeters-"I
was at the Presbyterian church. I never
fail to attend my own church when its
doors are open. That is my idea of a
good church member, always in his seat
in his own church no matter who is
preaching. / should be in my own church
even if Paul should preach in Raleigh
After pause, with a concealed plan
of getting good one" on Pastor Nor
man. the Presbyterian elder continued:
"Do you know why | would go to the
Presbyterian church if Paul should
preach in Raleigh and without waiting
for an answer said; Because Paul would
ne preaching in the Presbyterian church"
and he chuckled.
The Methodist pastors aptness at re-
partee was never so we'll displayed. He
said:
Il haven't doubt you are right. Paul
would certainly preach III the Presbyter-
ian church if he should preach in Raj
eigh. He always went where he was
most needed"
Maj. McPheeters loves to tell this story
and Ia Say that Pa Stor Norman gave him

THE KENTUCKY DEADLOCK.
Hunter Seems Farther Than Ever From

Louisville, Ky, March pa special
TO the Evening Post from Frankfort,
Ky, says: There was little or no excite
ment attendant on the fourth joint bal
lot for United States Senator to-day. The
Hunter people realized from the start that
their man had no chance of election,
but with logged determinatiO held on
and prevented the election of anyone else
Many of the members Of the general as
sembly made pairs and left on the early
trains for their homes determined to
spend Sunday with their families The
situation is practically unchanged. the
six boiling Republicans holding the key
to the situation. Senator Linney, who is
an aspirant for public printer and who
is one of the boilers, said this morning
that Hunter had promised him anything
within the gift of the President if he
would vote for him. Linney declined. A
resolution was offered by Representative
Stiglitz to adjourn the General Assembly
to Louisville on account of reported
smallpox in the penitentiary. 1t will
not be passed, as there is no truth in
the rumor.
Hunter had only IS votes. the Demo-
Gratis and boiling Republicans refusing to
answer to their names. This was not
quorum and the session stood adjourned.
The Democrats and the boiling Re-
publicans refused to answer to their
names because of a rumor, which gained
currency shortly before the hour of the
joint session. 1t was to the effect that
the Hunter men, desperate over the fail
ure to elect their man, had deliberately
entered into pairs with number of Dem
ocrats with av0wed intention of break
ing them when the ballot was taken. To
prevent any such action the opposition
declined to answer There were a num-
Der of Hunter men present who paired.
1t is rumord that Mark Hanna's man
here, Secretary of State Samuel NJ. Tay-
lor of Ohio, has advised the withdrawal
of Hunter and the nomination of Attor-
ney General w. S. Taylor, of Kentucky,
who is a staunch supporter of the pre-
sent nominee.
