The act of January 3, 1887, directs the accounting officers of the ‘Trewsury to allow to the widow ot any deceased officer or en- listed man of his vessel, or if unere be no widow ving, to the child or ciidren, and it there be no child, “to the surviving dependent parent or par. ents ot the a sum equal to twelve months’ pay.” Waldo'Inman served on the vessel Under the alias of Walter Lee, :nd was lost. in the Wreck. Separate applications for the gratuity in this case amounting to $800 were made by the father, Albert, and by the mother, Sarah Inman, and the Controller was called on to decide to whom the money should be pald. Evidence was sub- mitted to show that Albert abandoned his wife in 1865 to take up with another wi ‘and has contributed nothing toward his. wi fince that time, notwithstanding he his son's back pay amounting to $1, troller decided that the mother 13 Clearly to the gratuity as the “de Y says that “tne worthless father 18 to have been not dependent on his son, but by his heartless desertion of bis wife and his utter dis- ard of is inarital autics to have rendered in. self unworthy of consideration ‘account officers or by any one else.” ical Society Notes, ‘Mrs. J.

RANDALL HAS THE FLOOR, ‘The floor was then accorded to Mr. Randall (Pa.), ‘When he began to speak all the members on the floor got as close around him as possible, and gave him undivided attention, He by qu the President's message, and fin i that cd face of that it was the duty of every member vo consider the question serious and carefully, He had done this. His conclusions differed radically from those of the President. The latter advo- cated that the reduction be made from the customs duties only. He (Mr. Randall) thought it the part of patriotism and wisdom te reduce the internal taxes. He had wlways favored the total aboliUon of the internal-revenue He then referred to the bill he had introduced, and went {nto @ dispassionate discussion of Its details, Air. Raudall has been in very reppin | and.his voice was weak. ‘There was a very marke purpose to treat him with the utmost courtesy, Which hig position in the House and the tmport- ance of his utterances merited, and republicans and democrats alike tried to secure him good at- Wnuon, Many republicans brought their chairs over and sat in Ube open space in front of him. Once some one not far from hin called on him to speak louder, and later Judge Kelley, who sat but four or five seats removed asked the chairman to preserve order in the gal. = as It Was dificult to hear even at that short ance. Mr. Randall Sat erences that his volce wag weak, but that he woud try to speak louder and” not in ‘cutuventence any one. MR.

Jefferson ven the death biow to excise taxes, that most vicious Of all taxes, and received the of the legis- lature of luis native state for so doing. ‘The first tax also to be repealed after the war of 1812 had been the excise lax. The democratic convention of 1884 declared that internal revenue was a War tax, and Unis declaration Laken in connection with ‘the other declarations of the platform clearly es- tablished the Lact that the opinion of the conven- tion was that some of the internal-revenue taxes should ‘first go, and that they should all go Whenever a sullicient suin was realized from cus- tom-house taxes to meet the expenses of the Gov- ernment, economically administered.

CRITICIZING THR MILLS BILL. ‘When Mr. Randall got upon the Mills Dill, pick- ing It to pleces and criticizing 1t, the interest in his speech was renewed, and he was frequently applauded by the republic who gathered Roa eerie My ot his efforts to raise it to its usual volume. W! his hour expired there was A LIVELY SCENE ON THR FLOOR. Some one asked to extend his time, Mr. Mills objected. This action on the part of Mr. Milis was 1m the interest of Mr. McKinley and Mr. Breckin- ridge, who were to follow, but the general verdict, was IL Was Uungeherous, and many hisses, mingled with applause, were heard in the gal.
