Senator's Celebrate IN wer. on JariM.

The Senate's only observance of In
dependence day was in work upon the
tariff bill. No more appropriate way,
certainly, could have been devised. al
though considering the intense heat the
temptation to exchange the stuffy at
mosphere OF the chamber for the cool
ing breeze of some resort must have
been by no means slight.
Some progress was made Monday. a
prominent feature of it being the pass
age of the amendment providing for a
stamp tax on bonds, debentures and
certificates Of stock, by viva voce
vote, there being no call fer the ayes
and noes.
The Spooner amendment providing,
for tariff inquiry commission, consist

appraisers, was withdrawn owing to
the opposition and the threat TO delay
the measure.
An amendment proposed by Senator

All efforts of Senator Allison to have
a time for final vote fixed upon We're
futile. Jones said he must know what
was to be done with the proposition to
establish bounty for beet sugar pro-
duction. Allison said that matter was
in the hands of Mr.. Allen (Pop.) but
this did not appease Jones.
Mr. Morgan talked at some length on
the wickedness Of Congress in not cele-

the Cuban resolution and Senator AL

Altgeid. the Quack, Says the World is Sick

Ex-Governor Altgeld was the indie
pendence day orator of the Popocrats
at Brooklyn. His theme was trouble
and the remedy he. of course. declared
to be free and unlimited coinage
of fifty cent silver dollars
Among the statements he made were:
"In no country and in no age have the
higher courts been on the side of the
people," To-day the most wonderful
nation on the earth is in distress. It's
children are suffering and its founda-
ton stones are slipping away" The
universal corruption that is today de-
stroying our country comes from the
concentration of capital" The mis-
chief such as Altgeld do arises chiefly
because their words are not judiciously
found wanting To his first statement
it can be said that if the higher courts
are not on the side of the people, then
have the preservation of law and order.
the maintenance of principles on which
the best civilization the world knows
is based not been on the side of the
people. Never in the history of this
country has there been less reason than
now to suppose that the foundation
stones of this government are slipping
away. AS to universal corruption, any
sane person of normal mind cannot for
taanly not IL he believes himself to be
free from corruption. 1t is not strange
that Altgeld should regard all people as
corrupt, for it has been pretty clearly
demonstrated that he is or has been
himself. He regards society, if we may
judge not only from his words on Mon
day but from his well known attitude
on public questions as a seething mass
held down by the upper crust, through
which that below occasionally breaks.

INSULTS THE QUEEN. e
English Socialist Leader Justifies the
Revolt in India.

London, July S.-Hyndman, the Eng
ish Socialist leader, has an article in
the current issue of the Justice, the So
cialist organ, on the subject of Indian
riots 1t is full of accusations against
the government, is insulting to- the
queen and concludes as follows:
Now let US say plainly, as English
men who are utterly sick of the in
famous wrong and robbery being done
in our name, who would gladly see the
Williams tried and hanged, from Lord
George Hamilton (the secretary of state
for India,) upwards, who have created
the famine and murdered natives by the
millions, that if ever rebellion was JUS
titled in the history of the world it is
justified in British India today No
more intOreTable tyranny ever crushed
and ruined a suffering people.
Thanks to the work of our forefatfl-
erS, even this cabinet of re-actiOniSts
cannot suppress justice or blow up So
cial Democrat EngIishmen from guns
without trial, though 1 have not the
slightest doubt they would gladly do it
if they dared. The natives of India are
quite right to revolt and organize for
the destruction OF their infamous rule
and the sooner their mancipa ton comes
the better every Democrat and Socialist
in the country will be pleased. A copy
of this issue of Justice is going to every
native newspaper in India in order that
the natives may know that an active
number of Englishmen wishes them
speedy delivery from their oppreSsorS."

Boston. July 8.-Miss Louise Imogen
Quincy has resigned from her position
is postmaster at Auburndale, and will
henceforth devote all her time to liter
AZURE, in which line of work she has al
ready achieved a distinguished success.
She has held the office at Auburndale
for three and half years, and her APP
pointment by President Cleveland oc-
casioned much interest at the time. both
on account of her prominence as a writ

equally active support developed in her
case.
When asked what her plans for liter

haven't any as yet, except to rest. Small
as has been the amount of work which
l have done during the last three and a

how hard it has been for me. The rest
of the people employed in the office
could go home when their work was
finished, to rest. Not so with me. who
had to come home and go to work Just
