Great Britain, that august body re-
fused to do this on Wednesday last, by
a vote of 43 yeas to 26 nays. 1t takes

were either paired or absent. This re-
suit is very much of a surprise to all
who desire TO be on good terms with
all countries, and whilst as some of the

ton of this treaty would act in times
of great stress and disorder, with as

another, "of story they tell of Cole
ridge, the great English wit. It's
quite appropos, and well illustrates the
Republican handling of the indepen-
dents in 1892, as well as in 1886.
"a certain excellent equestrian, who
might for local purposes be an indie
dendent of the rule or ruin kind, fall
ing in with Coleridge, who might be
the Republican party for instance, ac-
costed him: Pray, sir, did you meet a
tailor along the road?'

So, as recapitulation-a roundup
so to speak-of the situation, paste this
in your hat: There is going to be no
compromise with the so-called indie
pendents, in the belief that there is
nothing 10 compromise.

troll their own destinies. They feel that
they can afford to smile at the "hand-

Warfield element, who tell them that
they-the LOG, 000-have diverted from
the path of rectitude, and are no longer
Democrats, but may be forgiven if they
repent and enter the new fold under
the new shepherds.
There is going to be no reorganiZa-
ton, although the State Central Com
mlttee may, as in the judgment of its
members seems wise, direct certain
changes and amendments in the party
laws.
The party will march right along on
the lines that it has followed under its
old banner.
The campaign will be conducted on
the broadcast lines. 1t will be what
might be called "a street corner and
assembly hall campaign"-that is to
say, in the selection of candidates the
people will be supreme, and the stand

ing.

their respects to Senator German, and
who have always been his close friends.

More Taxation.

Unless other great changes are made
in the so-called Dingley bill, the peo-
pie will soon feel the weight of taxa
ton, which the foreigner does not have
to pay. An increased tax has been put
on everything the laboring man uses
tea, coffee, carpets, sugar blankets,
marble for tombstones, wood and coal.
This is charming prospect to contem-
plate, especially with the times as hard
as they are now and money as scarce.
The Republicans have surely chosen a
lifting season to put additional burdens
upon the people of this country, and if
they have any spirit left in them Wig
orous kick will naturally be forthcom-
ing. But it will be too late. The time
to have done that was last fall. If in
this city or county the authorities
would deem it necessary that the ex-
penditures demanded an increase of
money to make ends meet and proceed
ed to raise the tax rateSSna howl of in
dignation and resentment would 90 I'D
from the mouths of thousands, but
when the present administration pro-
poses to tax each individual more than
he has ever paid for the necessaries of
life, only feeble protest is made and
the partizan followers of the party in
power, turn down the light and swal-
low the dose without a word. Public
economy would fit nicely into the
breach between the rapidly disappear
ing ends of the debit and credit ends of
the government ledger.

WORK OF CONGRESS.
What Our Legislators Have Been
Doing the Past Week.

Senator Tillman, of South Carolina.
was heard from in the Senate Monday
after a silence of many weeks. His
remarks were made during the consid-
Grafton of the free homestead" bill.
Mr.. Morgan resented the references of
the South Carolina Senator to "gob-
bling" and Stealing" public lands.
An agreement was reached for final
vote on the free homestead bill to-day.
The issue was made in the House
Monday on the Speakers policy of
postponing the appointment of COM
mittees. Mr. Simpson, of Kansas.
brought it on, and Mr.. Reed challeng-
ed him to propose resolution instruct
ing the Speaker to appoint the COM
mittees. The Kansan evaded this chal-
lenge, but Mr.. Lewis, a new Demo-
cratic member from Washington, took
up the gauntlet ami moved the adop-
ton of a resolution of the kind suggest
ed by Mr. Reed. When the vote was
taken on the proposition the Speaker
was sustained by practically the solid
vote of his party, assisted by thirty
three Democrats, under the leadership
of Mr.. Bailey. The resolution was de-
feated-yeas, 81; nays, 124.

Senator Foraker, of Ohio, had tilt in

sideration of the sundry civil appro-

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

Extend the scope of the agriculture
societies.
Weeds tend to prevent one man from
owning too much land.
Denser farming communities VIII
give more educational facilities.
Generally the larger the animal tho
greater the cost of keeping.
Remember that the pasture is a prin'
cipal part of the farm, and treat 1t az
cordingly.
ALI fallen fruit should be destroyed
in some manner. Many insect pests wlA
be killed by so doing.
Nature abhors an uncovered patch OF
ground. Therefore she has the weeds
to carpet it if the farmer does not care
Good pastures can be made IRON
stumpage, if the stumps are cut on
close to the soil and the ground seeded
down.
In fighting weeds, remember tna'
weeds take possession OF WASTE
places" Therefore cover the wasv'
places with something.

The Proposed Tax on Beer.

The New York Journal speaking ed
itorially on the proposed tax on beer,
says: The tariff news frow Washing
ton indicates the purpose of the Sena-
torial subcommittee to impose an adj
ditional tax of fifty cents per barrel on
beer, to exc out the deficiency assumed
to be consequent on the Encouragement
of other schedules. This will give Sl5,-
100000 additional revenue, it is esti-
mated, and go far to accomplish the de-
sired end. Beer is almost a necessity
of many millions of our population,
and at first blush it would seem that
anything increasing its cost would he
injudicious. Though an alcoholic drink,
it is probable that its widespread use
has done much to decrease the volume
of drunkenness.
But as the facts stand, the proposed
tax would not come out of the consum-
ers' pocket, as the small fractional adj
vance of cost could not be added to the
retail selling. The brewers for the most
part and the saloon keepers in less de
gree would pay it. We certainly need
not sympathize with the brewers,
whose profits have been larger than
those of any other manufacturing class,
and nearly every one of them has
amassed an enormous fortune in his
business. They can readily spare a
small slice of their profits for the good
of their country. To placate this class,
however, it has been suggested to re-
duce the tariff on hops. But in any
case the added beer tax should be inn
posed, for its burden will fall where it
will be felt the least-an important fea-
ture in all kinds of taxation.

Blind Leading the Bind.

We find upon investigation that the
same feeling exists in relation to GER
tain provisions of the Dingley bill as
was so unfavorably commented upon
during the consideration of the Demo-
cratic measure now in operation. Ger
tain Western Senators, who, by the
way, are Democrats, want hides placed
on the dutiable list and highly pro-
tective tax put ON them, whilst Others
would have hides come in free of duty
and would put the screws on other ar
ticles in which they or their constitu-
ents are directly interested. The pro-
tectionists of this State, feeling a great
pride in the success of their pet theory,
are solicitOus for the welfare of the
manufacturers of tin, and of course
want this product, so largely used i'm
our canning industries, properly pro-
tected from the "chsap goods" of for
eign countries. Backed up by some of
, the Baltimore papers, which claim to
ltibe imbued by the most steadfast adj
n herence to the principles of tariff re-
form, they demand a prohibitive tax
on tin-to protect this particular article,
whilst in another voice and in strang-
ly discordant sympathy with their
rock bottom "tariff for revenue only"
ideas, they denounce the tax on hides
as un-American and disastrous to bust
ness Sterestse This surely is pretty
picture of incongruity and sectional
ism. When the fate of the Democratic
tariff bill hung in the balance and
needed the support of the Southern
Senators and Representatives to ensure
its passage on consideration of the al
lowance of bounty on sugar, these
same parties and papers condemned the
men who were instrumental in secur-
ing the concession, even against their
better judgment, and have scourged
them with paragraphs of lnvective and
abuse ever since. Now they act practi-
cally in the same manner and hold
their motives up to the alteration of the
people. None are so blind as those
who will not see, and we are inclined
to think there are great many with
self-inflicted visionary troubles in this
State.

THE Civil Service law is certainly
proving stumbling block to Republic
can heads of departments and aspirants
for office under them. Many want it
modified and Others repealed. This
law as applied, is one of the prominent
planks in the Republican platform and
it is very inconsistent to want it fixed
up now to suit selfish ends. If it was
proper under a Democratic administra-
ton, when thousands of Republicans
were retained in office under its saving
clauses, it should certainly do for Re
