N the greenest Of valleys
BY good angels tenanted,
Once fair and stately palace
Radiant palace--reared its head.
In the monarch Thoughts dominion,
1t stood there;
Never seraph spread pnion
Over fabric half 30 fair.
Banners yellow, glorious, golden,
On It's roof did float and flow j
(This--all this-was in the olden
Time long ago.
And every gentle air that daied
In that sweet day,
Along the ramparts pluned and pallid,
winged odor went away
Wanderers in that happy valley
Through two luminous windows saw
Spirits moving unsteady
To lute's. well-tuned law,
Round about throne where,esittng,
Porphyrogene,
In state his glory well befitting.
The ruler of the realm
And all with pearl and ruby glowing
Was the fair palace door,
Through which came flowing, flowing. flowing,
And sparkling evermore.
A troop Of Echoes, whose sweet duty
Was but to sing
In voices of SURPRISING beauty
The wit and wisdom of their king
But evil things IN robes OF sorrow
Assailed the monarchs high estate;
(Ah, let us mourn. for never morrow
Shall dawn upon him desolatel)
And round about his home the glory
That bushed and bloomed
Is but aforementioned story
OF the old time entOmbed.
And travellers now within that valley
Through the red-ltten windows
Vast forms that move Enthusiastically
To dscordant melody;
While. like CHASTITY rapid river,
Through the pale door
A hideous throng rush ont forever
And laugh-but smile more.

Tariff Debate.

The refusal of the House ways and
means committee to take up tariff revi-
sion Yesterday was the subject OF
coloquy in the House between Messrs.
Williams and Payne.
Commenting upon the MeCall-Payne
correspondence relating to tariff revision,
Mr.. Williams said that Massachusetts,
had actually been bowling for relief by
revision of the tariff. She had asked
for bread and been given stone. The
letter OF the chairman of the ways and
means committee did not come as sur
prise to those who knew the gentleman,
Mr.. Williams said, as it was we'll under
stood that the coterie of gentlemen IN
charge of legislation in the House would
not permit anything in the line of re-
vision to be done. Mr.. Williams de-
clared that he had been unable to dis
cover desire or an ability on the part
of the members of this little c0terie to
approach the consideration of the tariff
question in a calm and judicial frame OF
mind.
"The man who made the first Pan
American Congress possible-Jsmes g..
Blaine-is dead and forgotten by the
republicans, and Mckinley is almost
forgotten" said Mr.. Williams, "and
reciprocity is also dead. The Senate
refuses to pass reciprocal treaties, and
it is only at the threat of the German
Emperor to inaugurae tariff war that
reciprocity triumphs." He wanted to
know if the gentleman from New York
(Mr. Payne) was going to stand pat on
the steel trust and the srmor-plate trust,
and whether the republican party was
going to stand pat against the desires o.
Massachusetts for, trade relief.
Replying to Mr.. Williams argument
Mr.. Payne declared that the great ma
iority Of the republicans were opposed
to dealing with the tariff by Horizontal
| reductions OF "pop-gun" bills. They
preferred to wait for general revision
Of the subject. Mr.. Payne gave thu
House no idea when he thought tina
general revision would come.

A Murder Recalled.

Today thirty-three years ago Charles
Manley. colored, was hanged IN the jail
yard OF this city for the murder OF John
Monroe, a clockmender. Monroe was
S"o'chman, and be was murdered while
sntiug by a spring in the midst oil tue
colored suburb known as Petersburg, "
in the extreme northern section OF the
CITY. Samuel and Lewis Payne, both
colored. we're Manley's accompllces.
The murder was of brutal nature. Mon
roe was terribly beaten and bruised about
the head aud his abdomen mashed with
large stones. His assailants, supposing
he was dead, after robbing him OF a
small sum of money, dragged their vic
tim to a neighboring ditch from which
he managed to crawl later. He was dis
covered subsequently and taken TO bis
boarding house where he died shortly
after telling his experience. The Psynes
left the city on the night OF the murder
and have never been heard OF since, but
the late John l. Smith, then Lieutenant
ofthe Police, captured Mapley and found
Monroe's watch in his pocket and bis
boots and hat in his possession. Msnley
was at first defiant, but finally listened to
colored preachers who visited him after
his trial. About seven hundred persons
witnes ,ed his execution.
In June OF the same year colored
man named Jackson was executed IN Inc
iil yard. He killed his wife in Alex
andria county.

Fifty-ninth Congress.
Washington, March %.
CnNyaTE

Mr.. Tillman again today met the re-
cent challenge of Senator Scott, OF West
Virginia, that he keep the Senate posted
upon railway abuses in that State. lie
presented memorial from coal men OF
West Virginia and Ohio, charging gross
discrimination against the Kanawha and
Michigan Railroad, the T. & 0. Rail-
way and the Hooking Valley Railway
companies.
The railway rate bill was then taken
I'D. and Mr.. Knox, Of Pennsylvanls,
made his maiden speech, in pointing out
what he considered to be the unconstl-
tutionsl provisions Of the Hepburn bill.
Senator Knox contended earnestly in
favor of a provision for proper method
of judicial review of the orders and lind
ines of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
"Judicial review of every substantial
controversy affecting persons and prop
erty is a right" he declared. "This
right was painfully won from tyrsnnies
of the past, and is established now be-
yond the power of any present tyrannies
to destroy, in whatever guiss they may
come. and even il masquerading in the
name of the people. This right is to
have the rights of the parties in every
controversy determined by the courts.
Why, then, should there be any doubt
on that point in this bill? Is it because
the friends of this bill doubt the chsrac-
ter or capacity OF the courts? Is the re-
lation of the courts TO government by
the people forgotten9 The courts are an
integral and vital part Of our govern
ment. and it would be a sad day fol
American civilization If their function
were de. raded and weakened. They are
the balance wheel and check in our sys
tenn between contending passions and
policies. 1t is high time that the people
should remember this and should sober
ly reflect upon the current heresies."
The Senate agreed to the Iilimsr
resolution, calling upon the Interstate
Commerce Commission to report II any
agreements or custom prevailed between
railways and corporations BY which
transportation is given for services an'
not for cash; whether this constitutes
violation of law, and what cases OF tina
kind have been tried. The resolution
particularly inquired as TO any system o
open accounts between railways an'
newspapers wherein the former exchang
