Senator Browns amendment placing

tionary senators we're driven to silence
.whiIe others we're constrained to admit
,bat wages are higher in Canada than IN
this country, when the progressive . 'nS-
A.. Brown. of Nebraska, presented the
-. nee of the fact. Wages are much
h;ohs, in free trade Australia than they
.e n CNnada. They are lower in pro-
,oc,;onist France than in free trade Bel
Inn, and Holland. Wages are low IN
dor the protective tariff Of Russia, and
thew are pretty close to the slSrVaIlon
level in Spsiu, the land that has OeeO

He said in part:
"There is an an accepted belief among

untrue. No matter how we'll versed you
may be on one particular subject there
are sure to be others Of which yOu are
grossly Ignorant. II is 80 with every
body. Some one asked me one time what
the three "Os" in my name stood for. |
Was puzzled for reply, when an old
lady whom ] knew replied for me by
saving, ''They stand for cash, char
acter and capacity" And these ] have
found to he three Of the essen
tials of life. BE careful of your habits;
do not become exlravagant, aud when
you are earning your own living form
the habit of saving. As to character,
do not misconstrue the word. II does
not mean the same as reputation, which
is what other people think yOu are.
Capacity depends upon yourself 1t de-
ponds upon your Efforts and industry.
But provided you have all these sttii-
butes, there is yet something better than
success. Your first duty is TO your
God, your second IL to your country.
You can find no better example of

the murder of Elsie Sigel in Nes York.

few hours before her death. The
young woman, it is alleged, wrote sffec
Tomato letters TO Leon Ling and Ohn

not knowing anything Of the murder,
paid Icons way out Of town. As wss

Barry St. George Tucker invaded
southwest Virginia yesterday, in the in
terest of his gubernatOrisI candidacy with
speech at Marion. de will tour the
Ninth district.
Mr.. Tucker entered q vigorous denial
of the statement of Judge Mann, that he
Was conducting "mud slinging" cam
psign. He held that a public mans
career was fit subject for discussion. He
believes the people oiVjTginia will sgree
with him that mans work in the legis-
lsture can be discussed and criticised.
Touching upon the temperance attitude
of Judge NJ lam, Mr.. Tucker said:
Judge Mann denies that he has made
any alliance with the city liquor dealers,
and | willingly accept his denial "a true,
bat believe that me.bOdy has made it
for him, without his knowledge, aud. Of
course, without his consent, and
would save him from the cstastrope
which awaits him. The whisky people
are not generally sentimenIallsts. They
generally have a keen eye to business,
aud it is impossible to conceive Of their
supporting man who has been, and says
now that he is openly opposed to them.
"Judge Msnn criticises my record OF
1896 and declares | was disloyal to the
party then. The people Of my own dis
trict know how untrue this charge is for
while l disagreed with my party on the
issue of 16 to silver, | yet supported
the ticket throughout my district on the
stump, aud voted the straight ticket 81
the polls.
"Judge Mann OF course does not re-
gard this as 'mud-slinsiDg,' and | charge
that in 1880, when combination OF a
few whites under the leadership of Gen
Malone, with the solid negro vote of the
State, was seeking to control the STATE,
he was the nominee OF the 'resdjustel
caucus for Judge of the County Court Of
Nottoway. To tho'e of Us who remember
that great fight and the parties connected
with it, it seems unlikely that Gen.
Malone would have permitted any one

Washington, June 22'
SENATE.

A number Of changes in the tariff bill
suggested by Chairman Aldrlch were
approved by the Senate to-day. salt
peter, which had been on the free isl 10
the Senste bill, was returned 10 tne
dutiabIe list with the rate OF one hall
cent pound. This is the same rs the
pingley law aud the Payne bill. The
duties on zinc oxide and zinc snlhde as
they appear in both the tariff bills aod
the Dingley Law we're approved.
Specific duties on Keene's cement we're
adopted. Mr.. Aldrich said these rates
were equivalent to the present al
valorem rate OF IS per cent. The duty
on enameled aud glszed table, Kitchen
and other holow-ware, was liked at
As per cent, and advanced 5 per cent
over the Dingley law and the Payne bill.
Ohromate of iron, Shich had been held
up earlier 10 the session, WAS retained
on the free list.
Chairman Aldrich proposed that
arsenic remain on the free list because
It is used by the farmers Ia destroying
insects. Mr.. Jones (reP. Wash } said
he desired to discuss the paragraph ard
it was held open.
Senator McCumber, in speaking in
favor of the proposed duty on hides, 10
sisted that the farmers would get the
benefit snd that if the duty was not I'M
posed the leather manufacturers would
get the benefit and the price of leather
and OF boots and shoes would not be re-
duced one penny.
Senator McLaurin said that he won Id
prefer to see leather and shoes and hides
all on the free list, but he was not in
favor of making hides free and leaving
shoes dutiabIe. He insisted thst when
Congress placed duty on hides 1t
meant it to apply to hides of all kinds
and sizes.
Senator Gamble also advocated the
proposed hide duty.
