THE TARIFF BILL.

The long tariff debate ended yesterday
evening at 4.54, when the Vice.Presi-
dent announced the final passage of the
bill by a vote of So to %. The vote was an.
nounced in as perfunctory manner as
if it had been the simplest kind of a
measure.
The main interest conferred in the
final vote, and, aside from this, there
was little OF dramatic character in the
debate. The early part of the day WAS
spent on amendments of comparatively
minor importance, the debate branch
ing into financial and antitrust chan
nels. By four o'clock the senators be-
gan manifesting their Impotence by
calls for "vote n "votel" and soon
thereafter the last amendment was dis
posed of and the final vote began.
There were many Interruptions as pairs
we're arraigned, and then, at 4:54
o'clock, the Vice President arose and
announced the passage of the bill-yeas
SO, nays %. There was no demonstra-
ton, but few scattered handclaps
were given as the crowds dispersed.

THURSDAY EVENING, JULY ; 1897

Some of the Southern democratic
Senators have been blamed for voting
for protective duties on Southern prod
ucts; but, under the circumstances,
without sufficient cause. Probably all
of them are opposed to protection-h
they be democrats they must be-out
as they see the republican majority is
bent on protecting every product OF the
North, aud as that section absorbS all
the benefits of the government, they,
by no means unnaturally, say the prod
ucts of their own section should also be
protected. A tariff for protection ID
unconstitutional. 1t robs the many for
the benefit of few; but man are hu-
man, especially politicians in country
of unrestricted suffrage.

A NEW republican internal revenue
collector in Kentucky has just appoint
ed two negro deputies. Unless the
white people of Kentucky be unlike
those of the other Southern States. it is
hardly probable that they will ever
again give boilers an opportunity OF
casting the electoral vote of that State
for republican President; but it is high
ly probable that if the negro deputies
referred to attempt to arrest white peo-
pie they will only live long enough to
regret their temerity.

THE miners strike is extending, and,
lust IS was expected, violence is being
rssorted to by some of those engaged
in it. Indeed it would be almost un-
natural if among thousands of idle Ia
borers, in the same locality, there were
not some who would show their disre-
gard for law and order and receive the
sympathy of others. That they and
their families will be the chief sufferers
is plain to be seen, but that they will
make thousands of others suffer with
them, is just as true.

not yielded for the purpose of amend
ment.
Mr.. Swanson contended that the
House should have an opportunity to
vote on such of the amendments as
they now desired to act upon. Mr..
Bailey said If the minority had been
given assurances of a reasonable time
for debate when the conference report
was presented to the House the
adoption of the special order
would not have been antagonized.
He said the Cuban resolution and the
bankruptcy bill we're approved by the
overwhelming sentiment of the people.
Mr.. Bsiley's allusion to Cuba was
warmly applauded by the democrats,
who renewed their demonstration when
Mr.. Bailey said that the President had
found time to send special ambassador
5000 miles to attend the festivities in
honor of European monarch but none
| to send even message OF sympathy to
people struggling for freedom at our
very doors.
