BRICE'S BILL. = == : BLAND’S FREECOINAGE BILL. _ there is no analogy in the cases. | |The Western people have the freight | it Tries to Cat Down McKinley | Committee on Comage Decuies to Take Charges from the seaboard for their 30 Per Cent. Washington, D. C., April 26.— Senator Brice of Ohio, a member of | the so called “Steering Committee’ con the Democratic side of the Sen- ate chamber, in connection with Senators Jones, Gorman and one or two others, bas been very active during the past few days in an effort to bring about peace and harmony and such a tariff bill as will meet the approval of the united party. Such a bill, Mr. Brice said yester- day, and again reiterated to-day, had been about agreed upon, the only thing still unfinisued being matters of detail. “The bill will not meet with the opposition of any Democrat, but will be passed by this body early in June,” said Mr. Brice. “Of course,’ he continued, “there will be some concessions, and the bill will, from the very nature of things, be modified. The income tax will be amended, aud many of the inquisitorial features expunged en- tirely. When this is done, and other amendments that have been suggest- ed are incorporated, I do not believe a Democrat will oppose it. “So faras Iam concerned person- ally I have not asked for a change in the bill, either for myself or my State. Ihave endeavored to bring about, so far as I was able, a reduc- tion of 30 per cent from the McKin- ley act and, where those duties were so high as to be prohibitive, I have urged reductions much greater than 30 per cent. In common with other Democratic Senators who saw the condition of things, I have done what I could to bring our people to gether. “There were many conflicting in- terests. Eastern men demanded a duty on coal and the Southern men demanded a duty on iron ore. The sugar growing country had to be taken care of to secure their votes, and taken altogether the measure is what all such measures are, a2 com- promise. It will be speedily passed and I believe the country will in- dorse it.” Yo Amend the Constitution. Mr. DeArmond introduced the fol lowing joint resolution: Proposing amendment to the Constituion, to enable the President to veto items in appropriation bills, and to en able the Gongress to pass bills over the veto by a majority vote. Resotvep, by the Senate and house of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress as sembled (two-thirds of each House concurring), That the following amendment to the Constitution of |@*Piration of the limit, and if the the United States be proposed, contrary result follows it will be all which, when ratified by the legisla- the better that it can be so easily y - tures of three-fourths of the several | tisposed of. states, shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Consti- tution, namely: That the second par agraph of section seven, Article one, This, of course, will be resisted with of the Constitution ehall be amend- ed so as to read as follows: “Every bill which hall have pass ed the House of Representatives and the Senate shall, before it be come a law, be presented to the|ness in the work.

Washington, April 25—The ef-/ forts to compromise the differences » | between them the free silver and the ~ |anti-silver elements of the House} come to naught to day when Repre sentative Bland’s committe on coin- | age, weights and measures, decided} by a decisive vote to lay aside the| Meyer compromise bill for the pres ent session of Congress and to} take up Mr. Bland’s bill for free sil | ver coinage. In view of the faci| that the Meyer bill is said to have| administration approval,its displace | ment was the more signiflcent | There were thirteen members of the committee present when Chair man Bland called the meeting to or | der shortly after 11 o'clock. The | pending bill was that introduced by | Mr. Meyer of Louisiana. Mr. Har ter made a statement to the effect | that Mr. Meyer was desirous of hay ing some decisive action on the bill for the reason if it were not report ed he might want to modify it in/ some other form and have it referred | to another committee. This was followed by a brief discussion until finally a motion made by C. W. Stone of Pennsylvania, that the bill be postponed untii the next session of Congress was carried by a viva voce vote, the voice of but two mem bers being heard in the negative,one of them being that of Mr. Harter The next bill to engage the com mittee’s attention was Mr. Bland ex pressed his desire to have a vote on the bill at the next regular weeting. Thursday of next week was suggest- ed by one member as a day on which a vote might be taken. The bill was ordered to be favorably reported and the committe adjourned with the understanding that a meeting for the consideration of Mr. Bland’s bill would be held Thursday of next week, but with no understanding when a vote is to be taken. Mr Bland says he is determined a vote shall be reached if it is necessary to hold night sessions to accomplish it. | Now Pass the Bill. The country will approve of the compromise among the democratic senators, which will make certain | the speedy passage of the bill. The} terms of the compromise have not been made public, butit is intimated | that the most important amendment that has been agreed on is one put ting a limit on the time the income tax feature shall run = There is no harm in this. If a trial proves ‘fa- vorable to the method of raisng revenue it can be re-enacted at the! This satisfactory result having | has for ye protection and they need protection from the low price lavor of New England as well as that of Europe. According to the census report the average wages paid in the manu facturing city of Boston Massachu setts in 1890, was $500 a year in round numbers. In Bridgeport, Connecticut the higher class of arti- Ga year, and in Cam bridge Massachusetts, the average was $544 a year. Taking these 3 cities together and the average was $540 a year, or a trifle more than $10 a week In Kansas City the average, taking the entire 22,000 employes sans was § jengaged in manufacturing industry was a fraction over $613 a year o1 uearly $12 a week. Taking the selfish view of the affair, which is always the view that influences the protectionists, it is therefore plainly the interest of the west to favor tariff reform It might bring about the condition which ex Speaker Reed referred to in apprehensive voice, that is, the crippling of New England enterpris es and the building up of western interests. But from the selfish point of view the west could staud that and, as is stated above, there is no other point of view from which to look at the tariff quesion.—K. C, Times Tariff Law of India. Washington, D. C, April 23.— Consul General Polk of Calcutta has sent lo the Department of State a copy : { the tariff law of India, and in his !etter of transmittal says: “The act is strictly an act for the raising of revenue. This action has been rendered necessary by the in- crease | revenue required to meet the p»yments on the gold debt due from ludia to England, and result- ing from the fall in the gold value of silver which is the money of the country. The government proposes by means of the proceeds of tbis tax and by the retrenchment in the an nual expenditures on internal im- provements to meet the deficit. The most remarkable feature of the act is it allows manufactures of cot- ton, «bout 40 per cent of the total imports, to come in free, which has excited intense but ineffectual ex- postulatio For Tue reliet and cure of a cold in the head there is more potency in Ely’s} Cream Baim than in anything else it’ is | posible to prescribe.

Washington, D. C., April 25.— The sick list of men in and about congress is reaching remarkable di- mensions. Senator Stockbridge is slowly recovering from a_ severe ill- ness at Chicago. Representative Simpson of Kansas is not yet conva- lescent. Representative Schermer-} horn’s condition still excites the ap- prehension of his associates.

But in all such cases the votes of both houses shall be determined by yeas and nays, and the names of the per- sons voting for and against the bill shall be entered on the Journal of each house respectively.

Iused your Peruna according to directions, and am now well; can hear the tick of a watch ten feet.

It is only after the catarrh has destroyed portions of the middle ear that Pe ru-na fails to cure. All should write to Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohic, for further advice.

April 23.—Two white men named Dunn and Capshaw were taken from jail at Smithville, Teun.. last uight and lynched by a mob. The two men and another named Pack were charged with the murder of Perry Adock, near Smithville last Wednesday night. Adock was called to his door after dark and shot down by parties on the outside. The mob evidently be- heyed that Pack was not implicated in the assassination, as he was not molested.
