Senator Nelson, Of MINI, Ai
though republican, Is in sympathy
with the efforts made by the dem
ocrats in the House to amend
the tariff bill by authorizing the
President to suspend the collection
OF duties upon any imported article
the home product of which Is showr
to be controlled by trust, as he
has given notice of his intention tC
offer the same amendment wher
the tariff bill gets before the Sen
ate.
Secretary Cages answer to the
Senate resolution concerning the
issue Of orders by the Secretary oi
the Treasury to Collectors of Gus
toms in relation to carrying out
the retroactive clause of the repub.
lican tariff bill not being at all sat
isfactory, Senator Vest offered q
resolution declaring this order to
be without authority OF law and in
violation of the statutes and Gus.
toms regulations concerning the
payment of import duties, and by
bare majority of one it was re-
ferred to the Finance Committee,
to be pigeon-holed.
Democrats would be delighted
to see Mr.. McKinley's bluff, other
wise known as the special dipom-
attic commission to visit Europe
with power to negotiate with the
governments of that section in be-
half of international bimetalism,
succeed in accomplishing some
thing tangible, but none of them
nave the slightest idea that it will.
The Commissioners, Senator VOL
colt, Gen. Paine, of Mass, and Hon.
Adlai L. Stevenson, of Ills, are ca
pable men, and their failure to ac-
complish an impos>ibility will be
no personal reflection on them.
Senator Morgan closed his long
speech in favor of his resolution rec.
the Cubans as brlliger-
ents by declaring that whatever
action this country might or might
not take towards Cuba the freedom
of the island was written in the
stars.
Senator Chandler's bills for the
seizure of the armor plants of the
Bethlehem and Carnegie Steel
by the government, re-
present very dangerous sort of
bluff, for it is evident they are
nothing else. That these compan-
les have been ext)rtionate in their
dealings with the government is
true, but that doesn't give Congress
any right to confiScate their prop.

Washington Letter.

From our regular correspondent.
WAsHINGToN, April l6, 1897
Senator German took occasion to
give TIE republicans little plain
talking to concerning their failure
to accept the very fair proposition
made to them for filing the COM
mittee vacancies and the conse-
quent failure to give the appropri.
alton bills which failed at the last
session the proper committee con-
sideration, just before the Indian
bill was taken up. The total OF
these appropriations will be more
than S73,O0O,000, and Mr.. German
said that Il careful consideration OF
them might result in a reduction OF
at least Sl0,000,000. He also said
that it was time to call a halt in
the vast expenditures authorized
by Congress; that the limit of eX.
penditures on the navy and on for
tlfications ought to be near, now
that an era of peace seemed to be
at hand, and that he thought it
was also time to limit the expendi-
lures on rivers and harbors. He
closed by saying that the demo-
Gratis could do no more than call
the attention of Senators on the
other side to the urgent need of re-
trenchment. 1t is not expected
that Mr.. Gorman's warning words
will have any effect, but all the
same they were timely, and it was
entirely proper that they should
have been spoken by democrat.
The country will heed, if the repub-
lcans in Congress do not.
Nothing in the eloquent address
made by Mr.. Bryan at the Jefferson
birthday banquet, gathering of
democrats that will not soon be for.
gotten, was more important or
significant than the following
words: "The position taken by the
democratic party in 1896 will not
be surrendered. If you doubt the
permanency of the Chicago plat
form as a party creed, go among
the rank and file of the party and
measure the zeal and enthusiasm
which that platform has aroused,
and you will realize the impossible
ity Of taking a backward step. |
True, the present administration is
seeking to turn public attention to
the taIiff question, but If our rea-
soning is well-founded, an increase
of taxes cannot restore prosperity
to the producers of wealth. In
fact, we contend that neither high
taxation nor low taxation can
bring prosperity to the people, so
long as an appreciating dollar con-
tinues to give the money owner an
over the rest of the peo-
pie. The money question must be
the paramount issue of the next
Campaign, as it was of the last. If
the Dingley bill brings genuine and ,
permanent prosperity, the demo-
ratio party will not be in posi-
ion to win contest by opposing 4
:. If, on the other hand, the Din. !
,ley bill proves disappointment q
o those who advocate 1t, our posi-
ion of 1896 will be strengthened, &
nd public attention will be riveted t
pom the fact that the cause Of fin 2
ncial depression is to be found in i
ur monetary system" a

Things had come to such pass
that the airship department was an
absolute necessity of every we'll
conducted newspaper.
Perhaps all this is huge joke.
Perhaps In this matter the press
associations, the correspondents
and the witnesses they have quot
ed have proceeded on Mr.. Barnum's
hypothesis that "the American
people love to be humbugged."
But II that be true, II Is the best
swindle ever perpetratei upon q
confding public. For look you,
the evidences OF the airship's exis-
tence are this day better founded
than any evidences of miracles in
profane or sacred history. Men
have been hung in this enlightened
age upon testimony less trust
worthy, and In other ages drawn
and quartered, or defed or canoniz- |
ed with fewer reasons than those
which prompt belief IN the reality
ofthis nineteenth century wonder.
II the airship Is a joke, 1t is an
exceedingly good one; but, pending
the settlement of that question, II
Is dream OF wonderful imagina-
tive pleasure to believe that the

i've creation and his noblest tri.
,ute to the providence of God.

FIGEL'S DEFENSE
Testimony Given in Support Of an
Alibi

SAN FRANCISCO, September 1.-The
cross-examination of ex-Deputy Sheriff
Mike Rice of Arizona occupied the at.
tention of Judge Campbell when the Fl
gel case was resumed today. Rice ad-
mitted that his expenses had been pait
by woman, but said he would go to
Jail before he would disclose the name
and asked the court whether or not his
expenses would be paid by the State, a.
he expected to refund the money he
had borrowed from lady friend.
The defense then offered further tes-
timony in support of the theory of IL
ib, it being shown by c. W. Bassett OF
Alameda that he met Figel on Marke,
street at 6:23 o'clock on the evening of
June 1, and that FigeI missed a car to
the ferry.
Isaac Gillert, an employe of Hoffman
Rothchild & Co., said that he and Figel
had returned to work one evening in the
latter part of May and that Figel then
had no key to the Battery street en-
trance.
o. F. Westphal was the next witness
called, and after an attempt to introduce
his testimony the court adjourned.

THE LUETGERT TRIAL
DRAWS A CROWD OF MoRBIDLY
CURIOUS
The Defendant Is in Apparent Good
Spirits and the Testimony Given
Is Rather Dul.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-Interest in the
Leutgert trialswas unabated today,
hundreds waiting in line outside the
court room unable to enter. The big
sausage maker. the central figure, was

betrayed no outward sign of the effects
of the trial.
The cross-eXamination of Bialk, the
watchman, began with questions re-
garding his connection with the police.
Attorney Vincent met the objections of
the prosecution with the statement that
1t would be shown that Bialk had never
been out of sight of a policeman for five
minutes since Luetgert's arrest. Bialk
admitted that since May 10th he had
done no work and had lived with Off
Ger Klingerat. at the expense Of In
spector Schaak.
But two witnesses were on the stand
today, and when court adjourned the
testimony of one of them was not COM
pleted and will be resumed tomorrow
Bialk's testimony was in the main un-
shaken, although the defense drew from
him the fact that it was by no means an
the factory a all hours of the night He
said in his direct eXamina ton that he
thought that Luetgert was acting in a
suspicious manner on the night Of the
alleged murder. and said TODAY that he
was In a position from which he could
have seen everything Luetgert did at
the vat on the night the murder is said
to have taken place. but cid not look at
him.
The other witness was Frank Odorf-
sky, another employe of the factory, who
placed the caustic potash in the vat on
the order of Luetgert. He had been work.
ing around the watts for long time, but
that night was the first time he ever had
seen any caustic potash in the factory.
He testSfi % finding in tirs morning In
