FROM WASHINGTON
DINGLEY TARIFF BILL
UNDER FIRE.
The House to Consider Patent
Schemes.
VACANCIES IN TIE SENATE.

(From our regular Correspondent
WAsHINoToN, d. c., March 20. 1897
Chairman Dingley made short work
OF juggling OF percentage figures by
which the democrats in the House
sought to makeit appear that the
Dingley tariff bill, which will this
week be passed by the House, carried
a higher average rate OF duties than
the Mckinley bill did Said Mr.. Ding
ley: Notwithstanding the fact that
in this bill in every schedule except
esrthenware, glass, tobacco, sugars,
and, L think, silk to some extent, not
withstanding that in every schedule
except these the present bill carries
actual duty less than was carried in
the Act of 1890, and Notwithstanding
the fact that in many of the schedules
it carries duties substantially the
same as those in the present demo
cratic) law, yet if you convert these
specific duties into ad valorem per-
centages not taking into considera-
ton the changes of value between
1890 and 1896, you appear to have an
increase Of duties imposed, when, as a
matter of fact, the actual duties i'm
posed are less"

The democrats in the house are
now very sorry that they said a word
about trusts in their fight upon the
Dingley tariff bill. They got a fool
idea in their heads that they could
brighten the republicans by yelling
trusts" at them. They know better
now
That line OF attack gave the Republ
cans an opportunity to call the atten-
ton, or rather TO Jog the memory of
the public to the indisputable fact that
the trusts have been more numerous
and more grasping under the democra
tic administration and tariff law than
ever before, sand that the democrats
made their last campaign solely in the
interests of what General Grosvenor
so aptly called the trust which con-
trois n monopoly of what God gave-the
silver trust. The fact is also recalled
that when the sherman antitrust law
recently upheld by a decision of the
United States Supreme Court. was
before the House, the leading demo-
cratic members voted against its beinl
taken up for consideration, although
they did not dare vote against the bill
itself when 1t was put upon its fina
passage. They found the trust argu
ment a veritable boomerang. and aDou
the only excuse they had TO offer was
that they were not responsible fol

President Mckinley has told several
gentlemen who we're applicants for the
same position, they held under the
Harrison administration that he would
not appoint them, no matter how
strongly backed they were, because he
had made up his mind not to make
such appointments, except in cases
where there might be some extraordi-
nary circumstances justifying devia-
tion from the rule. This is not be-
cause he has not high opinion of the
ex-officials, but because he thinks
others should now have an opportuni-
ty to share in the party honors.
THE SENATE.
The vacancies in the Senate Commit

the latter are perfectly willing that
they should be filled, but so long as
the opposition cannot agree to vote to-

naturally object to allowing the dem
ocrats who are only one faction of the

went ut Their own Eooks.

An American photographer who pene-
trated into the wilds of Siberia, and
spent considerable time in taking pic
lures of the people and country, in
duced one of his nutive servants to sit
icr his photograph. The man had prob
ably never even looked into u mirror;
at any rate, he had no conception Of
his own ugliness, and he manifested
considerable gloom when he gazed on
his picture. The other mnn-servnnt evil
6ently supposed that lie was q far sll-
perior being and sat for his photo with
great pride; but when he saw the re-
suit, he almost wcpt. Both men then
retired to the house in thoughtful
mood. and presently one came out and
borrowed pair of scissors. When they
emerged again, scarcely u vestige of
hair remained on their heads, and they
asked to have their pictures taken again.

THERE are people who seem to enjoy
what is called local gag" of u per-
sonal nature given out at theatre;
but those who do seem to get enjoy
ment out of it, display, we think, de-
gree of bad taste.
AS general thing comedian is
about run down--his stock of wit eX-
hausted-when he lets loose his wag-
gishness about citizen: and what he
says is usually bereft of everything
that suggests symptom of cleverness.
But the house hollows, and the hood
lum comedian can't resist another sally
and before the finish is seen somebody's
feelings are hurt, and no special hap
piness is given to anyone.
In some towns these local references
are not tolerated for an instant, and u
good stiff fine confronts every man
who shall try to make merry at the ex-
pense of citizen.
We think that stringent rules should
be established toward putting down
the "local gag" otfense in our Auci
torium.

LEO NH,
toriuul.

Among the great established reputa-
tions to which 1896 applied the touch
stone of life, that of the Pope must be
numbered as among those which have
survived. Leo NH has continued to
maintain the prestige which has COM
PEELED even the non-Catholic world to
hail him as one of the greatest of pom
tiffs. This year he showed that his
passion for Christian unity and his de-
sire to include all mankind within the
fold of what he regards as the Catholic
faith did not lure him into taking any
liberties with what he considered the
well.established boundaries of his
Church. His decision concerning An
glican orders, although it has been
somewhat fiercely resented by those
who had deluded themselves into the |
belief that the Pope would try to con-
vert the steel wire of the Roman fold |
into an elastic band, was only one |
more proof that the Pope is too logical,
consistent and yeracious to snatch at
an apparent advantage by any strain
ing of the well-established law of the |
communion over which he presides. |
His intervention on behalf of the Ital-
ian prisoners in Abyssinia showed his
desire to play the part of general medi-
ator and intercessor, even on behalf of
those whom he believes have usurped |
his patrimony and despoiled the inher-
itance of the Church. And his utter
ances on behalf of international arbi-
tration have shown once more how
keenly alive he is to the movements
which tend toward the realization of
the Christian ideal. From January

GEOLOGICAL CONJECTURES.
Speculntions Aroused by the Discovery of
u buried Tree,


The recent discovery of an oak tree
two or three feet in diameter 50 feet be
| low the surface, while sinking a wei
with drill at the confluence of the
Oneida and Seneca rivers, is an i'm
portaht discovery. Itindicates that the
Oneida river was at one time the outlet
of AN immense volume of water and
opens to our readers very interesting
geological onjecturcs.
The theory would seem to be plausi-
bic that the Oneida river was once the
outlet of the great chain of lakes. One
is reminded that Lake Ontario is 1874
feet lower than Lake Erie. Three Rivers
is Is feet higher than Lake Ontario at
Oswego. y great depression has taken
place, unquestionably in conditions i'm
mcdiatcly connected with Lake Ontario.
1t has apparently subsidized several hun
dred feet, while the Oneida river has
been raised up so that to-day it is 115
feet higher than the surface of the
waters of Lake Ontario
The waters from the great chain Of
lakes must have passed from Lake On
tario south through the valley where
the Oswego river now runs, a reversal
of the present course of that river At
the confluence of the Oneida with the
Oswego this great volume of water
made its way eastward through the
Oneida river to the Mohawk and Hudson
rivers. The Mohawk valley shows plain
