 He had his back against the court house, and the city marshal and the DO lice argued with him from the middle of the street and lodged every time he swung his howitzer in their direction Lots of oitlzens had turned out to wit. ness the performance, and it looked for awhile as if the bad man had the whole town against the ropes.
 Presently little, weak kneed drum mer from Connecticut, who was among the crowd, adjusted his spectacles for a closer look at the desperado, and then before anybody could stop him he gave yell and started for the bad man at a 3:4O gait.
 The bad man saw him coming and tried to climb over the courthouse, but the little drummer nabbed him and said something to him. The bad man ran his hand into his pocket and gave up some. thing. Then the marshal and the police closed in, and the desperado went of with them as gentle as & lamb.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Cur Regular Correspondent.

OH the tariff bill was quite unex-
poctedly brought about in the
Senate this week, and the repub-
Jicans won by majority of one.
The vote WAS on a motion made
by Senator Morrill,, who is chair
man Of the Finance Committee,
to refer the resolution offered by
Senator Vest, declaring the or
ders issued by Secretary Gage tor
carrying out the clause Of the
tariff bill which makes the duties
therein 60 into effect April l, to
be illegal, to that committee. To
the surprise OF many, one repub-
lican, Senator Chandler, voted
against Mr., MorriPs motion.

Harris, of Kansas, llellfcId and
Turner, voted against The motion

except Mantel, who we're present
Cannon and Peltigrew.
Cuba, the bankruptcy bill, and
the Indian appropriation bill
which failed to become u law at

matters winch have occupied the
attention of the Senate this
week. 1t is still matter Of
doubt when tine tariff bill will be
reported To the Senate, with lite

Senator Nelson, of Minn~, is
one of those who think that the
tariff bill offers An excellent op.
pOrtuuity to curb the greed of
some of the trusts, aud he has
given notice OF his intention to
offer sew eral amendments having
that end i'll view, when the bill
gets before the Senate. One of
these amendments declares trusts

yet the latter receive greater benefits than the for
mer. because the sick allowance Is based upon the
amount Of salary paid. Neither II. H. Vreeland

ut Is also untrue to say that in the benefits ar
