Senator Stewart, of Nevada (rep) made a speech Saturday on the tar- iff which was clear to everybody that he would vote for the bill. The commissioners of the District of Columbia have issued a manifesto on the impending Coxey invasion of the city, and warn the invaders to Stay away. Washington, D C., April 28.—The motion for a new trial in the Pollard- Breckinridge case was overruled by Justice Bradley this morning and 30 days given to the defendant in which to file a bill of exceptions. During the wraugle over the tar- iff bill and in answer to statements made by senator Sherman, senator Vorhees made the following state ment: “I desire to say right here” said he commenting on the motion, no matter what ramors may be float- ing in the air, that the income tax will stay in the bill.” Four hundred men,chietly Italians, | paraded the streets of Iron Moun- | tain, Michigan behind a red flag, | Friday. They marched to the high jof the said committee i CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE. Chairman C. C. Dickinson, ef the democratic Congressional Central Committee, has issued the following call for a meeting of the committee: Cirtox, Mo, April 25, 1895 By virtue of authority, as chairman democratic congression al committee of this the 6th congressional district, composed of the counties of Bates, Cass, Cedar, | Dade, Henry, Johnson and St. Clair, I hereby call a meeting of said com mittee, to be held at the county seat |room in the court house at Clinton, | Missouri, on Thursday, the 17th day of May, 1894, at 2 p. m. for the pur pose of fixing the date and place for holding a convention to nominate a democratic candidate for congress in said district, and to determine the ratio of representation in said convention, and to transact such other business as may come before C. C. Dickrssos, Chairman. D. A. COLYER. This gentleman announces in the Times this week und asks at the hands of the party, when it meets in convention the 28th of this month, an indorsement of his official acts as high Sheriff of this county, by re- nominating him to the office he now holds. The Tistes is ina position to say to the democratic party that so far as Mr. Colyer’s official acts as sheriff are concerned he has perform ed his duty acceptably and has made the county a most efficient and able officer. He has taken pride in the management of his office he has treated all those having business with him in a courteous and gentle manly way. In short he has madea good sheriff and if party precedents are adhered to Mr. Colyer will have no fault to find with the decision of the next democratic convention. St. Louis Republic Colonel N. A. Wade. editor of the Bates County Democrat. and one of the shrewdest political observers in Missouri was at the Laclede yester- day. “We are going to have all sorts of fun at the Kansas City con- vention” said the Colonel, ‘but I don’t think that the hot heads will run away with us. There is a middle ground that we can place ourselves on, and Iam confident that this will not be herd to reach. Of course we are all friendly to silver, and will so express ourselves in the resolutions adopted, but that should not warrant usin making a vicious ass’ President Cleveland. Nor can we afford to do that The eyes of the nation are upon us, and [am certain that the better wisdom of the party will dominate the Kansas City Con- vention. I believe that Iam safe in predict ing that the present delegation in congress from Missouri will be re turned intact. This is no year for swapping horses. We are right in the middle of the stream now, and we can’t afford to risk new and un tried steeds if we hope to get across safely. There is considerable dis- satisfaction with some of our con gressmen but it is of purely local concern, and does not affect their standing with their constituents on national issues.” ult on Cleyeland Confident. Washington, D. C., April 26.—To Editor J. M. Head of the Nashville (Tenn ) American, who called at the white house yesterday morning. President Cleveland said most em- phatically that the Wilson tariff bill would pass the senate and becomea law. 1t would come to a vote by June Ist. party, Mr. Cleveland expressed the greatest confidence. He said that the new tariff law would give satis- faction and prosperity to the couutry, and the democratic party could suc- cessfully stand upon the achieve- ments in the present congress. There has been internal dissen- sions and differences as to what duties should be lowered or entirely removed, but these would not sur- vive the passage of the bill. With reference to the Coxey move- ment, he was very severe. It was a serious matter and liable to cause trouble, he said. He criticised the press for the air which had been in- cidentally given by widespread pub- lication of details of the march and declared that the latter should have been either ignored or emphatically condemned. “The democratic senator who fails to vote for the tariff bill on its final passage in the senate will place him- school grounds where a relief, com-| Self hopelessly outside of the demo- mittee had men at work, and stopped | them. Its the red flag foreign ele. ment that is causing most of the; trouble at the present time in this| country. It seems to be a part of; their religion when they reach free America, to disturb labor, maugu- cratic party,” said General Black, recently. “I know the sentiment among the Illinois democrats is that the bill ought to be passed as quick- ly as possible. I do not belieye there will be more than one demo- cratic vote, and perhaps not one, against the bill when the final test comes. Democratic senators cannot xate strikes and shed blood. afford to oppose.” Speaking of the outlook for his| CARLISLE ANDTHE TARIFF. | Statement of the Secretary Regarding Conferences Held on tie Subject. Washington, D. C., April 29.— |Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle bas authorized the following state ment in reply to an inquiry by Press reporters as to whether it were true ‘that he had taken part in the confer ences which it has been said were being held for the purpose of agree- jing upon certain amendments to the | pending tariff bill: \ ‘Ihave had no conference upon this subject with anybody except the Democratic members of the Senate committee on finance, and therefore can not state of my own personal knowledge what has occurred in any of those conferences that may have taken place. It is true that an effort is being made to agree upon such changes in the pending bill as will secure for the bill united and active | Support of all the Democrats in the ee The indications now are {that this support can and will bs secured without making radical changes in the rates of duty or material alterations in the form of structure of the tariff schedules as they were passed by the House of Representatives. In fact, I regard most of the changes now under con sideration as quite unimportant, while the remainder are not of such a character as substantially to eftect the merits of the bill as a measure for the reformation of the worst fea tures of existing legis!tation upon this subject “T do not think we ought to per mit differences of opinion upon mere matters of details or in regard to small increases or reduction of rates in the bill as it now stands to pre- vent the redemption of oar pledges to the people, and therefore I am in J|favor of securing. if possible, with- out a: y surrender of principal and | without abandoning any part of the Demo-ratie policy of tariff reform, such mutual concessions upon these points as will consolidate our strenyth and pass the measure at the ecriiest possible date So far as the propes’d amendments relate to duties npon important articles of consumption now subject to duty, the rates suggested as the basis for adjustment are al! much lower than in the present law, while there are only a few instances in which they are higher than in the bill reported by the Senate committee. “By far the most important single article upon which a change of duty is now proposed is sugar, raw and refined, and it is strenuously con ten led by persons interested in the production of this article that the specific rates already in the bill as reported by the Senate committee, are higher than the ad valorem rates which it is now proposed to insert. Whether this is correct or not de- pends on the price of sugar in the foreign markets from time to time, and, therefore, it is not possible to make an exactly accurate statement upon the subject, but I am satistied that the difference, if any, between tbe specific rates heretofore propos ed and the ad valorem rate new under consideration, is so small as to be of no material consequence either way. At any rate, [ think that differences of opinion upon this question which have always been troublesome and vexatious, should not be allowed to defeat the passage of the tanff bill and I believe this is the opinion of all intelligent and sin cere advocates of revenue reform. “The repeal of the McKinley act and the substitution of a more just and equitable measure in its place KNOWLEDGE Brings comfort and improvement and tends to personal enjoyment when rightly used. The many, who live bet- ter than others and enjoy life more, with less expenditure, by more promptly adapting the werld’s best products to the needs of physical being, will attest the value to health of the pure liquid laxative principles embraced in the remedy, Syrup of Figs. Its excellence is due to its presenting in the form most acceptable and pleas- ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly beneficial properties of a perfect lax- ative; effectually cleansing the system, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers amie permanently curing constipation. It has given satisfaction to millions and met with the approval of the medical profession, because it acts on the Kid- peys, Liver and Bowels without weak- ening them and it is perfectly free from every objectionable substance. Syrup of aes is for sale by all drug- gists in 50c and $1 bottles, but it is man- ufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. only, whose name is printed on every also the name, Syrup of Figs, and being well informed, you will not accept any substitute if offered. Mr. Stephen McIntire Like a New Man As the Result of Taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla “C. 1. Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: “For three winters past I have suffered with the grip, and it left me all out of fix. I had a painin my left side and was troubled with my stomach for about six months. I had a tired feeling and I could not work, for the muscles of my leg would give out, and I would have to sit down and rest. Nothing did me any good. I read so much about Hood’ saparilla that I de- cided I would try a bottle. [noticed after three doses that L was getting better. I have now taken three bottles, and r Feel Like a New Man. about the farm all day without getting very tired. Ican truthfully say that Hood’s Sarsa- Hood’s:::*Cures parilla brought me out, and I feel like a spring it several of my friends and several have done them good.” ‘ston, Missouri. bDiliousness, jaundice, sick headache, indigestion, ——— are of vital importance to the pros perity of the country, and the people have aright to expect that all who are really in favor of a reduction of tariff taxation will make such reason- able concessions to each other's views as will certainly accomplish these results. If the country is to wait for tariff reform until a measure is de- vised which is entirely acceptable in all its parts to every Senator and Representative whose vote is neces sary to pass it, our promises will never be kept.” “Are any changes proposed in that line of business, and other lines as a wholesale grocer. We who were here then will never forget the writhing of his distinguished coun- tenance, his enormous development of cheek that extended from ear to ear and from chin to forehead. We will never forget his auricular ap pendages that scraped the dome of the capitol How can the present senator hope to rival his predecessor in the hate ot truth and the love of falsehood that has always character- ized the cheats of protection?” When Mr. Turpie sat down there was ahush upon the chamber. Every one was amazed at the personal character of the attack upon Senator Aldrich. Then all eyes were turned upon the Rhode Island Senator. He arose slowly. «In the position the Senator from Indiana now takes,” he said slowly and deliberately, ‘he speaks for no ove but himself. Under other cir cumstances and conditions I do not believe he would have made the speech he bas made.” Turpie Loses His Temper. Washington, D. C, Ayril 30 — Scnator Harris, who is in cnarge of the tariff bill, lost patience to-day at the way in which progress was impeded by Senator Hale in the mornivg hour. As on several pre- ceding days, Mr. Hale objected to giving way for special measures in the morning hour. Fivally Mr. Har ris abruptly moved that the senate proceed with the consideration of the tariff bill. In reply to a remark by Mr. Vest that Mr. Aldrich had been falsely in- formed concerning the proposed amendments to the tariff bill, and that if these statements were repeat- ed it must be on his own responsi- bility. Mr. Aldrich accepted the challenge, and rose with the state- ment on his lips that he was inform- ed and believed that amendments had been prepared to the bill since it had been reported to the senate as he had previously stated. He assertei that the amendments were in print, and said it was his understanding that they were to be submitted to the senate shortly, and from what he had heard they were ofa nature to completely change the character of the bill. As a re- sult of this condition of affairs, the senate was no nearer the final con- sideration of the bill than it was three months ago, when the bill came from the house. Messrs. Allison, Teller and Haw ley then took a handin the discus sion, while Mr. Hale returned to the Carlisle interview, declaring that it bore all the marks of authenticity. | {Then Mr. Palmer took a turn, and Mr. Carey and Mr. Chandler joined the coloquy, whick Mr. Harris vain- ly endeavored to bring to a close. | A few minutes afterward an inci- dent occurred which created a pro- found sensation. All the democrats had been more or less irritated by the prodding from the other side, and the feeling was directed princi- pally against Mr. Aldrich, who was | maneuvering the opposition.

Bennett-Wheeler Mercantile Co. Turpie, who got the floor when Mr. Palmer sat down, made a direct as- sault on Mr. Aldrich the like of whick has not been heard in the senate chamber for years. He de clared that three monstrous untruths had characterized the opposition-— | three gross, palpable lies, of incon- ceivable inendacity. The first of those untruths was that a new bill was being prepared by the secretary of the treasury; the second, that 300 of 400 amendments (it did not mat- ter which) were to be presented, and the third was that the bill re- ported from the finance committee was not to be passed. All these as | sertions had been categorically de | nied by four democratic members of the tinance committee. | “Aud yet,” continued Mr. Turpie, | raising his hand aloft and stretching | it toward Mr. Aldrich, ‘the Senator | from Rhode Island comes in here | and says he believes they are true. There could be no sharper issue of veracity. I prefer to believe, and I do believe, the Senators on this side, and I disbelieve the Senators—no, I will not say Senators—I disbelieve the diminutive unit on the other side who assert the contrary. Who is | the author of these reports that are | being circulated here and in the newspaper press? Who claims the paternity? The Senator from Rhode Island? I recollect the predecessor of the honorable Senator from Rhode Island,” he continued with biting and venomous irony, referring | to Senator Aldrich of 1890 as a dif-| ferent individual from the Senator Aldrich of today, “but even he could not then have been the author of all three of these untruths He might have been the author of one, but three would have driven him from the field He had been a drug clerk, and was familiar with that part of the bill which relates to the | income tax?” was asked. “It is well known,” said the Secre | beginning considerable opposition | to the proposed income tax, even | among those who have voted for and | supported the bill, with that feature in it. Mueb of this opposition has ; been based upon the provisions of | the bill which prescribe the methods of ascertaining and collecting the tax, soms of which are alleged to be | arbitrary and inquisitorial. In my | opicion many of these objectionable provisions ought to be, and can be, safely omitted from the bill, and other changes can be made which the advocates of the income tax can consistently accept, and «which will at the same time remove the princi- pal objections of its opponents and | secure their support for the bill. | “This method of securing revenue | has never before been resorted to by the government of the United States except in times of war when it was absolutely necessary to use every means in its reach, and there are! many patriotic citizens who are satis fied that its adoption as a permanent | part of our system is not justifiable | |in time of peace when no great emer- gency exists. This view of the sub | | ject could be fairly met. I think, by | limiting the operation of the law to! a reasonable period—say five years could be thoroughly tested, leaving Salar to decide hereafter, in the! ight cf the experience thus acquired, whether it shall be continued or ex-' pire by its own terms. The power }and personal property. to repeal always exists and the pow- er to re-enact can promptly be exer- cised if the majority of the people approve the mexsure.” Jefferson City, Mo., April 27.- The inequlities in the assessment of real estate and personal property is so great that steps are to be taken to remedy the evil, which is becom. ing more glaring each year. Gover- nor Stone sent out the following letters to county assessors to day, which is scif-explanatory “Dear Sir—The State Board of Equlization has been much perplex ed in the discharge of its duties by reason of the great inequality in the assessment for the differert counties. | This inequality relates to both real The boerd is in receipt of letters from county assessors sugyesting the advisibility of a convention of such assessors for the purpose of conferring and agree ing upon some basis that would bring about approximate equality in assessment and «closer conformity to law. Such a convention has been recently held in Indiana with excel- lent results “The State beard has discussed the subject, and the members unani- mously agree in the opinion that such a meeting would result in great good, and I have been requested to address a communication to every assessor in the State, suggesting that a convention be held here at the capital on Tuesday, May 22. I hope you can arrange to attend the convention at that time. Every means at our disposal will be em- ployed to make your stay as pieasant as possible.
