washington, June 4. - The senate
again made good progress on the tariff
bill. covering about ten pages Of the
metals schedule and almost complet-
ing it. The formal contest against the
measure was maintained. but all
amendments tending to change the bill
as reported were voted down and the
finance committee sustained. The de-
bate was mainly of technical char
acter, the Republican senator's cOntin-
uing the policy Of refraining from
making speeches.
Before the tariff bill was taken up
Senator Tillman gave the senate an
other hour of exciting controversy over
the proposed sugar investigations. He
defended himself from published
charges relative to his administration
of the governorship of South Carolina.
and then moved that the committee
having charge Of the sugar resolution
be discharged from further considera-
ton of it. thus bringing the subject
directly before the senate. Mr.. Cal
linger Of New Hampshire. in behalf Of
the committee, made spirited protest
against this course, and also urged
that the senate should not turn aside
from its public work to investigate
SAdASCS affecting lAc private ClidIdC-
ter Of senators. There were frequent
lively exchanges between Mr.. Tillman,
Mr.. Gallinger and Mr.. Jones. but in the
end Mr.. Tillman withdrew his mo-
ton.
A bill was passed for public build
ing at San Angelo. Tex, to cost $780,
600. Mr.. Vest offered a resolution.
which was adopted. reciting that the
skeletons of American soldiers killed
at Buena Vista in 1S47 were now ex-
humed. and asking the state depart
ment to investigate the subject and re-
port the facts to congress. A letter
was read in this connection from Con-
sui General Crittenden saying the
matter should receive the attention of
the authorities at Washington. A
clipping was included stating that the
bones of American soldiers were
bleaching in the sun.

Washington, June 3. - The senate
made greater progress on the tariff
bill than on any day since the debate
opened. completing more than half of
the important metal schedule. The
speaking was by the Democratic sena-
tors, the Republican senators taking
no part in the debate except at rare
intervals 20 answer questions which
would expedite the advance of the bill.
Messrs. Jones and Vest urged numer-
GUS amendments embodying in the
main the Wilson rates, but these were
rejected with only one exception. This
exception related to anvils, on which
Mr.. Vest secured a reduction of the
committee rate from 2 to 1 "a cents
per pound. 1t was the first change
made without The assent Of the COM
mittee, and it was due mainly to the
listless manner of many senators in
voting Early in the day Mr.. Tillman
secured tn. adoption of a resolution d.
recting the judiciary committee to in
quire into the recent decisions against
the South Carolina dispensary law
with view to reporting such legisla-
ton as might be desirable.

government of, for and by the people;
as much so, in fact, as though the
conventions representing that prl1c1-
pie had met, performed their perfume

At all events, we nail our colors to
the mast, there to remain through
sunshine and storm, through the
perils of a plutocratic administration,
and until that glorious November
day, three years hence when our
staunch old national craft will be
commissioned for d successful voyage
and a new Commander appointed
who will pilot her into the haver

In other words without metaphor

THE COUlDS AND TT
CHURCH.
n E

The announcement is made that
Helen Gould, daughter of the late
Jay Gould, is to marry AIonzo Pot
ter, son Of the Episcopal Bishop of
New York. Thus it is that the
Gould family, which has always
been denied the entree into New
York's exclusive society, will now
secure the coveted honor through the
influence of Bishop Potter. In New
York the Episcopal Church is the
fashionable church, and old Trinity
is supposed to be the correct place
for society to worship, possibly be-
cause it is at the head Of Wall street
and the Episcopal Church of New
York has always kept in with the
money bags.
The alliance will be more power.

The Presbyterian: Mr.. Josiah W.
Leeds, well known Friend of Philadel-

entitled, The Place of Progressive Eu-
chre," In which ne justly classes this
game, as usually conducted, with gam
bling. He quotes from two state Judges
In support Of his position. Judge Moon.
OF Tennessee, in his charge to the grand
jury OF Chattanooga, said: Not only Is
gambling carried on in regular gambling
resorts. but people Of high standing and
responsibility gamble They may not
put down money, but they set an exam
pie for others in playing for prizes and
awards In these progressive euchrc
games these persons play for fine pie
lures and gold-headed canes. Examples
are set that arc violation OF the law,
and It Is Just as demorali2ing as common
gambling. A conviction OF one man Of n
higher class IL better, as an example.
than the conviction OF only ordinary pco-
pie for common gambling"
Judge Green, OF Kentucky, declared in
his charge to the grand jury OF Boone
county, in that state: Il don't know any
thing about progressive euchrc, out l
know that when two 'onegailus' fellows
play cards for money or other property

When The Mckinley tariH act went

Of imported merchandise in the country,
brought In at the old rates and ready to
be thrown upon the market 50 as to give
its owners the benefit OF the new and
higher rates. From this It resulted that
the benefits Of higher duties were not at

1t has been serious apprehension that
this play would be repeated under the

Congress will pass at the extra session
about to convene. This, however, will be
impossible II the Idea ~ President Nc

that way the new tariff law will begin to
