FLORIDA SENATORsHIP AGAIN.

Mr. Pasco Offers Amended Credentials
for Mr.. Henderson, Which are Re
ferred to Committee.
Washington, March 25.-4Soon after
the Senate met to-day Mr.. Pasco, Dem.,
Florida), presented an amended creden-
tials of John A. Henderson, of Florida,
for the seat recently vacated by Mr..
Call, of that State The certificate of
Governor Bloxham stated that the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Henderson was until
the next meeting of the legislature of
Florida" Mr.. Pasco explained that the
amendment was made in order to meet
the criticism of Mr.. Hoar that the origin
al credentials fixed no limit on the term
of service
The Senator argued, also, that the
State should not be denied it's full repre-
sentation in the Senate, when the State
authorities had fully complied with every
requirement of law. Mr.. Hoar explain
ed the reason why these contested cleo
ton cases had not been taken up by the
committee on privileges and elections
The former chairman of the committee,
Mr.. Mitchell, of Oregon, was no longer
a member of the Senate and as he (Hoar)
was next in order on the committee he
had felt himself to be acting chairman
He had been advised, however, by Mr.
Allison, of Iowa, and others that it was
desirable to wait for a day or two to
see whether the Senate committee would
proceed as now constituted or would have
vacancies filled, or whether the majority
in the chamber-whoever it may be-
would re-organize the Senate committee
throughout. Pending determine ton
of this question, he had not called up the
election cases in committee, but he was
ready to call meeting in half an hour
if any of the claimants asked it.
Mr.. Stewart, Pop, New, said the gem
eral feeling was that the Senate was
capricious in its action ON these cases,
and there should be some definite and
final settlement Of the whole affair.
that the question had already been elab-
orately argued and settled-settled both
ways. "The inference from that sug-
gestion," pursued Mr.. Stewart, ''is that
we vote on these cases according to our
political convictions"
"The manner of settling this is by
means Of an international agreement for
the free coinage Of silver" remarked
Mr. Hoar facetiously. "When that is
accomplished the Senator from Nevada,
will have no further objections"
Mr.. Pasco d;sclaimed any purpose 70
charge delay on the part Of the elections
committee, and on his motion the amend
ed credentials were referred to the COM
mittee. At 1920 on motion of Mr..
Davis, Rep., Minn.), the Senate went in
to executive session.
The open session was resumed at 8
o'clock and the bankruptcy bill taken
up, the lengthy measure being read in
full.
Mr.. Nelson, (Rep., Minn.), offered the
bankruptcy measure recently introduced
by him as a substitute to the pending
bill.
AT 4:20 p M, the Senate adjourned.

The Double Back-Action Tar,G.

In 1886. when the National Government
had just collected a surplus revenue of
sS5, 900, 900 in one fiscal year, an Act was
passed by Congress, entitled "a bill to
reduce revenue. &c. This was the meas
ure now notorious as the Mckinley
tariff.
Yesterday a bill was introduced in Con-
gress, which is to all intents and pur-
poses the same Measure Where it diff
fers, 1t does SO in extending the ''prin-
eiples" of the Act of 1890 to even greater
extremes. Yet this measure is proposed
as a bill to increase the revenue. 1t is
introduced to remedy a deficit of about
s25. 900. 600 in the revenue for the last COM
pleted fiscal year.
It indicates something like insanity in
a party. to imagine that the people can
be thus juggled with. The revenue is too
high, clap on the duties; the revenue
IS too low. clap on the duties. These be
what Mr.. Sam Weller might call ssdouble
baek-action'' economics. Their reflex ac-
ton va sufficed to land the Republican
party in the worst wreck in it's history.
We shall see how the people will take
the new effort Of scientific dealing
with the problem of taxation and ma
tional prosperity.
