From expressions of leading republican
senators it is evident that although the re-
publicans of the House may succeed in
jamming the tariff bill through that body
in very few days the bill will not be
TANNED through the Senate in short order.
Senators Allison and Cullom are quoted
as saying that many of the schedules are
altogether too high, and that the Senate
will cut them down considerably. They
voice the sentiments of other republican
senator's. The chief fear is that if the bin
were to pass in its present shape, it would
be rejected by the country at the next con-
gressional election, just as the Mckinley
bill was rejected. and the next House
would have democratic majority.
1t is evident at this early stage of the 6iis-
cussion of the bill that there is wide diff
ference of opinion among the republicans
on the tariff. A good many of them have
become converted to the view that it
would be a grave mistake to put the duties
so high as to practically shut the products
of American factories out of foreign mar
kets. 1t would also be a mistake to put
such duties on manufactured products as
would permit manufacturers. by combin-
ing, to demand higher prices for their pro-
ducts in the home market than they ask
ed for them in foreign markets. For our
manufacturers to sell in foreign markets
at lower prices than in the home market
would create such dissatisfaction as would
result in the defeat of the republican par
~ in the next national election.
When the tariff bin was introduced we
predicted that those republican leaders,
who believed that the bill would be.ready
to be sent to the President by June I, were
mistaken. Senator Allison says he does
not think the bill will be ready to go into
operation before July /. The chances are
that it will not be passed by that time The
longer it is debated the clearer its de-
fects win become. 1t is a crude affair and
/; will not be difficult to show that those
who framed it had no very
clear conception of the work
to which they were assigned.
The Senate finance committee may frame
an entirely new bill. There is some talk
to the effect that it will, in order to avoid
any responsibility for the Dingley bill. All
the indications are that the tariff debate
in the Senate will be a long one.

TriIbY and Little billy.

This is true story of one of the most
remarkable love affairs on record, the de-
nouement of which was a decidedly novel
elopement, says the Philadelphia Record
Miss Frisby of Broad and Lombard
streets has a Scotch collie named TrIlby.
She has been in the habit of spending
her summers at the Delaware water gap,
accompanied by Trilby, who is of a senti-
mental turn of mind. At the boarding
house where she was ACCUSTOMED to stop
there was a pet goat and the most violent
case of love at first sight ensued when
Trilby and the goat came face to face
with each other. The oddly assorted pair
soon became inseparable, and furnished
much amusement for the guests at the
hotel Summer drew to a close, and Tril-
by and her Little Billie spent some time
in sorrow after being ruthlessly parted.
This affection was continued, and the sad
parting duplicated the following sum-
mer little over a week ago Trilby dis
appeared, and although searched for, her
whereabouts remained a mystery. On
Tuesday evenig the Frisby household was
disturbed by a loud barking and pounding
on the back gate. Examination disclosed
Trilby and her Billie, who came in and
proceeded to make themselves at home
Yesterday Miss Frisby received the fol-
lowing: Del. Water Gap.-Miss Frisby:
Your dog came to the house last Mon
day. Tuesday both she and the goat had
gone before we had time to notify you.

A Thrilling Episode.

From the Washington Star.
Remember well, oh, gentle youth, the
story of a fray
The like of which has not been seen, till
this eventful day.
Since Spartacus informed the crowd he
wouldn't do thing
To any gladiator who would meet him in
the ring.
What bitter and undying hate was in their
looks expressed
Before their trainers led them out to have
them washed and dressedi
What greater tragedy than that could any
stage command
When Corbett lost his breath and Fitz re-
fused to shake his hand!
Full many tales of warfare you have
heard, no doubt, at school;
OF men who broke each others pate and
exc the golden rule.
And they tell you of those heroes that the
battles brought TO view
At Gettysburg, at Lexington. and awful
Waterloo.
They will describe the conflict which &C.
Cured in days agone,
At Hastings; they will even take you back
TO Marathon.
But none of these can move us like that
moment in our land
When Corbett lost his breath and Fitz re-
fused TO shake his hand.

Two OF Grants Anecdotes.

In his Campaigning With Grant" in
the March Century, Gen. Horace Porter
gives the following anecdotes that we're
related by Grant at the headquarters
mess:
Il was with Gen. Taylor's command in
Mexico when he not only failed to receive
reinforcements, but found that nearly all
his regulars were to be sent away from
him to join Gen. Scott. Taylor was apt
to be a little absent-minded when alb
sorbed in any perplexing problem, and the
morning he received the discouraging
news he sat down to breakfast in a brown
study, poured out a cup of coffee and, in
stead of putting in the sugar, he reached
out and got hold of the mustard pot and
stirred half a dozen spoonfuls of its con-
tents into the coffee. He didn't realize
what he had done TIL he took a mouth
full, and then he broke out in a towering
rage.
I'VE learned something at Shiloh about
the way in which the reports of losses
are sometimes exaggerated in battle. At
the close of the first days fight Sherman
met colonel of one of his regiments with
only about 100 of his soldiers in ranks,
and said to him. Why, where are your
men| The colonel cast his eye sadly along
the line, wiped a tear from his cheek and
replied in a whimpering voice: we went
IN SOO strong, and that's all that's left OF
us You don't tell me! exclaimed Sher-
man, beginning to be deeply affected by
the fearful result of the carnage. Yes
sad the colonel, the rebs appeared to
have a special spite against u.s. Sherman
passed along some hours afterwards.
when the commissary was issuing rations,
and found that the coloners men were
returning on the run from under the bank
Of the river, where they had taken shelter
a mi
nearly all of the lost 700 had rejoined and
were boiling coffee and eating a hearty
meal with an appetite that showed they
were still very much alive"

necessitate an expenditure of about $780,
CO., and will give employment 10 10000 men

TO put so much money into an underground
trolley plant is pretty Conclusive proof that
that trolley system is both practicable and
profitable.

humiliation Of a Judge.

The custom of performing penance in
public by humiliation in church, either
through significant action, position or con-
fession, was not peculiar to the Presby-
terrain and Puritan churches, but is as
old as the Church of Rome, says Curious
Punishments of Bygone Days.
The most striking and noble figure to
suffer public penance in American history
was Judge Samuel Sewal. He was one
of the board of magistrates who sat in
judgment at the famous witchcraft trials
in Sa4em and Boston in the first century
of New England life. Through his perse-
cution and by his sentence many innocent
lives were sacrificed.
Judge Sewall was a steadfast Christian,
a man deeply interpretive, absolutely up
right and painfully conscientious. As years
passed by and ali superstitious excitement
was dead many of the so-called victims
confessed their fraud, and in the light of
these confessions and with calmer judg-
ment and years of unshrinking thought,
Judge Sewall became convinced that his
decisions had been unjust, his condemna-
ton cruel and his sentences appallingly
awful.
Though his public confession and recan-
tation was bitterly opposed by his fellow
judge, Stoughton, he sent to his minister
a written confession of his misjudgment,
his remorse, his sorrow. II was read
aloud at the Sabbath service in the Boston
church while the white-haired judge stood
in the face of the whole congregation with
bowed head and aching heart.
For his self-abnegation he has been hon
ored in story and verse; honored more in
his time of penance than in the many po-
sitions of trust and dignity bestowed on
him by his fellow citizens.

1t was announced in our local columns
yesterday that Mr.. Bynum would be in
Savannah about the middle of April, for
the purpose of addressing the people in
the interest of sound money. 1t really
looks as if the agitation of the r1oney
question were to be kept up from now
until the beginning of the next national
campaign. AT the end of the last national
campaign some of the siver!te leaders
said they were willing that the Mckinley
administration should have a chance to
show what it could do towards restoring
prosperity They may have been sincere,
but 1t is noticeable that about all of them
are encouraging those silverites who are
continuing the agitation in behalf of free
silver. MIR. Bryan is kept on the stump
and lecture platform and the printing
presses of the silverites are kept busy
turning out free silver matter for the
country newspapers.
The advocates of sound money are
bound TO do something TO keep their view
OF the money question before the people.
and that is why Mr.. Bynum is to make
tour of the south addressing the people
on the money question.
No doubt business men generally would
be glad to have the agitation cease for
awhile. because the tendency of it is to
make people who have money to invest
uneasy. 1t retards the return of pros
perity by keeping the people in doubt in
respect TO the currency. Neither side can
gain any advantage by keeping up the
agitation, and both sides would have the
approval of the whole country II they
were to abandon it until the beginning Of
another national campaign.
