The Country is Out Of Order.

Owing to the heat in the senate
chamber Friday the Republican senators
had great difficulty in maintaining a
quorum to carry the frequent votes,
which Senator Vest, with grim,
perspiring pertinacity, insisted on hav-
ing taken up motions to strike out the
specific duty and replace it with ad
valorem duty, upon every item. AT
one time there was some delay in an
nouncing the result of the vote, owing
to the desire on the part of the Repub-
hcans to have it appear that quorum
had voted.
Senator Vest insisted on a speedy an
nouneement, remarking that the suffer
ing country could not wait for Repub
licans to muster a quorum. Upon the
lack of quorum being announced,
Mr.. Vest derisively said: And this,
with the country just wallowing and
dying while the bill waits. 1.-THE
senator is out of order, - remarked
Senator Chandler, jocularly. And
SO is the country, added Senator
Gray, of Delaware.
A call of the senate brought fifty two
senators TO the chamber, and Mr.
Vest amendment was quickly voted
down. After that the Republicans took
more paids to maintain quorum within
hailing distance.

An Act OF Gallantry.

From the Washington Post
II noticed little act of gallantry on
the part of Senator Morgan, of Ala
bama, at the Capitol the other day, =
said Mr.. c. G. Ford, at Chamberlin s.,
(which struck Inc as very graceful
thing, though nothing more than could
be expected of a gentleman.
1.-The public elevator on the east side
of the senate wing had gained the
senate floor on the ascending trip. One
or two persons got out, but two ladies
remained, wishing to be taken to the
gallery AS the elevator was about te
proceed upward, Senator Morgan APP
peared, and the man in charge of the
lift, thinking the Senator wanted tc
descend, stopped and remarked, as he
opened the door, III take you dowr
first, Senator.
50 Take the ladies up first ; l II wait,
was the Senator's answer, and he
bowed while the ladies smiled witt
evident qualification at the courtesy.
''It occurred to me that the elevator
man might have been only obeyina
orders in what he offered to do, but il
so, his superior, who was responsible
for the order, is to blame. do not see
that there is any room in this country
for such an exhibition of hunkeyism.

4 unse of Iheir Own Medicine.

WATERMELON, June 2s.-The boot
manufacturers Of New England are
hoist with their own petard. For the
first time since 1872 hides have been put
on the taxable list as result Of a bind
ing caucus. which prevented the New
England men from boiling. The duty
will amount to about one cent a pound
on hides imported from South America
and two cents on the higher grades.
This is not an important tax, II is said,
and will little benefit the Western cattle
raiser, but even this slight charge on
articles used in their factories was
fought bitterly BY the Eastern senators.
Smith Of New Jersey. who is the owner
of a patent leather factory in Newark,
which practically controls by patents
the making of that line Of leather goods,
had the affrontery to make a long set
speech against the duty on hides, and as
he had finished Smith babe his friends
good By and started for trip to Europe
70 spend the summer. Smith 5 record
in the senate has been unbroken for the
Republican theory of prosperity by tax
alton and he was one of three Democrats
TO force the emasculation of the Wilson
tariff bill TO such an extent that it could
not be signed by Democratic presi-
dent. In spite of manufacturing pro
tests, however, the duty goes in. While
the Democrats voted against it, there is
slight consolation in seeing the high
tax advocates take dose of their own
medicine.
