The Atlas of Modern rimes.

The issue is not whether one favors the Statehood bill. for many men who stout ly protest against the politically wicked holdup as led by little Beveridge, the young man of wealth of words and a beg gardness of ideas. thumped on his thin chest and slapped on his narrow back by the President, this howling Indian ian who esteems himself a modern At las bearing upon his sloping little should CTS this. Western world, these many would not vote for the admission of tho territories if they were Senators or in their own proper rights as citizens.
 The issue is above every individual or partisan consideration. It concerns the most vital principle of our national life, that is the rule of the majority.
 Suppose these national Senatorial free booters who are defying the universal public demand were counterfeited in the Alabama Senate, and these Alabamians should throughout the present session of the Legislature effectually hold up a measure of vast importance demanded by the State conventions of all parties and representatives of all the people of the State, what would the people say?
 The Advertiser has of late elouuently preached the cause of majority rule Tn the Legislature. fearing from past experi- ence the masterfulness of an obstruction ist minority. What The Advertiser earn estly opposed in Montgomery is now be- ing witnessed in Washington, as 1t has been in the Alabama capital in the past and may be seen again

NEW RUSSIAN TARITT.
Empire Follows the Example of Other
 States.


 St. Petersburg. Jan. 2.-A new general customs tariff to which the imperial sane tion was given on January 26 was pub lished today An official memorandum accompanying 1t explains that Russia has followed the example of other States in view of the impending expiration Of her commercial treaties.
 The new tariffs have been elaborated, says the memorandum, with special re- gard for the protection of national indus tries, but there has not been any Idea, zy an artificial raising of rates of se- curing a means of bargaining with other powers because such Q weapon would cut both ways. The alterations in the existing tariff have been made with the utmost circumspection and strictly in acordance with the changes In economic conditions and international competition. Many du- ties have not been changed but new clas- sifications and greater specialization has been introduced.
 A novel point in the promuigation of the new tariff Is that the date on which 1t will be put in operation is not specified, 1t being left to the Minister of Finance to obtain the imperial sanction to put the tariff in force any time.

The Rankruptcv Bill.

The main feature of public Interest in the bill which passed the House fadny and now goes to the President amending the bankruptcy law, is that bankrupt shall not have power to waive his exemption, as made legal in the respective States of the Union.
 The exemption in Alabama, for in- stance. Is $l 600. Hitherto the bankruptcy courts have held that a man was entitled to that exemption, although he may have signed a waiver of it. This view of the United States courts Is made permanently effective by the amendment

Senatorial Highwavmen.

All friends of the measure and many persons who theoretically oppose the ad- mission of Arizona and New Mexico would rejoice to see Senator Quay take this action because there is a general feeling outside the administration and the Sena- torial highwaymen who are holding up the bill at the point of revoivers, so to speak. that a vote should be had.
 A leading official of the Senate declared to me tonight that there is e solid ma jority of eighteen back of Senator Quay in favor of Statehood. This estimate ought not to be lightly doubted for the official who gave 1t is in position to know.
 If his name could be given the author ity of his statement would be instantly recognized.
 Several times yesterday Senator Quay showed a majority of twelve. Yet he has six more. This makes the attitude of the administration and the rebellious Beveridgeian standpatters all the more lawless, makes more manifest the out rageous war against the majority rule as waged by the White House and its Sen atorial servants. the whole gang of them the most unblushing and most unlawful obstructonists of our time.

QUAlc HAS A MAJORITY

Washington, Jan. 28.-(Speciai.) )-The somewhat tentative display of the vel vety but keeniy clawful hand of rne foxy Senator Quay when ne this afternoon successfully resisted a proposition that the Senate should not take up the State- hood bill until o'clock on .he morrow, uevoting the morning hour to press ing business that hao come from the house. was the most significant sign of this legislative day. Down to the mo- ment or adjournment the newspaper men believed that the Pennsylvanian would tie up the Senate in continuous session as he said he would, but in the end the leader of the majority favoring the ad- mission of the territories amiabiy yielded and suffer ed the Senate to adjourn.
 Just what may happen tomorrow Is purely conjectural since Senator Quay, with his customary communicative ness, has not disclosed his purposes. But there is feeling tonight that he will begin tomorrow or a little later to force a continuous session.
 1t is understood that those Democrats and Republicans who constitute the ma jority in favor of the Statehood bill are urging him to take this decisive step.
