Vest reopened the discussion and quoted a speech made by Mr. Hale in the House of Representatives in 1871 in favor of a bill intro- d self to put salt on the free-list. in r, Hale declared that there should be x on salt, and that the Onondaga sait mo- 7 as great a monopoly as had ever ented by the Tudors in England.

Mr, Vest went on to say that he was glad to hear the Senator from New York (Mr. i ) hat he would vote for of the drawback on the salt used in curing fish, MR. HISCOCK DENIED hating made any such statement. He had simply expressed his private judgment and opinion in reference to that provision, Mr. Vest supposed that when the Senator de- nounced legislation he was ready to vote to correct it, “In conclusion he quoted from re- marks of Thos, H. Benton in his “Thirty Years in Congress,” denouncing the salt tax as a tax on the entire economy of nature and of art, a tax on man and beast, on life and health, on comfort and luxury, on want and superfluity, on food aud raiment, on washing and cleanii- ness—a heartless and tyrant tax. ‘ Mr. Morrill asked Mr. Vest whether, in the same work, he had come across another re-| markable passage in which Mr. Benton stated that he had ALMOST BECOME A FREE-TRADER, but that when he came to the subject of put- ting a duty on lead he had risen and proposed a duty of 100 per cent upon it (becayse Mis- CAPITOL TOPICS.

Later he attended the Harvard law school. He read law under Wm. C. Spruance, expectation, the state senate did not organize yesterday, and it is probable it will not do so to-day. While the decision of the supreme court was entirely in the line of republican in- Wilmington, and was admitt®d to the bar im w Castle, May, 1864. ptember, 1864, he ntered into partnership with F. G. Bradford, who was afterward United 8 for Delaware. gins was appointed deputy attorney for Delaware. In 1868 he was chairman jof the republican state committee. He was appomted by President Grant, in ‘9, United States district attorney for Dela- ware, and held that office until 1876. Since that time he has devoted himself to his large law practice. Mr. Higgins’ first appearance in politics was in the campaign of 1863, to elect a member of Congress to fill a vacancy caused | by the death of Wm. Temple. Mr. Higgins | championed the of N. B. Smithers, the | republican candidate, and who was among his competitors of yesterday, and Mr. Smithers was elected. In 1867 he was one of the most active spirits in the border-state convention at Baltimore to promote the adoption of the fifteenth amendment to th tion, He labored hard | 1880, which resulted in the | republican legislative ticket in New Castle | county, in recognition of which he received | the complimentary vote of the republican | members in the January following, when Mr. | Bayard was elected to the United States Senate, In 1884 he was the republican congressional | candidate, accepting the nomination with no chance or expectation of success, _ WHITE CAPS K THEIR WORD. |A Man Who Neglected His Family Nearly Hanged at Huntington, Ind. Heytinetox, Ivp., Jan. 15.—White Caps at Andrews, this county, are making good the warnings sent to certain parties of that place, Sunday night Wm. Dowell, who fails to provide for his family, was surprised by twenty masked men when in a saloon and dragged out the back way. A rope was thrown over his neck and he was swung up to the rest telegraph pole. After hanging a short time he was low- ered, when he managed to slip the noose and ran yelling with all his remaining strength. He was recaptured, but citizens, attracted by his cries, came to his rescue, and the White Caps fled without being recognized. Much ex- citement is created by the affair and those who ee ¢ received the letters are living in a state of ead. of N ina dilemma and simply hold their future in abeyance by refusing to allow the senate to be organized, though they asserted prior to the decision of the court that they were only awaiting that decision. The perplexing ques- tion now is what will they do with Senator Minear? He is their nominee for president of the senate, but they don’t want him. If Minear is dropped and some oue of the older senators picked up, as they claim should be done, who will Carr vote for? Will he vote for the nomi- nee of a caucus with which he refuses to act and against himself when he is anxious to be president? Wil!l Minear vote for the nominee of a caucus with which he declined to affiliate and against his own nominecee, Carr? These are stumbling blocks which confront the re- publican leaders, und so far they seem unable to tind a solution. Either a compromise with the democrats must be effected, Carr elected, or the dead-lock continued. The prolonged dead-lock has aroused specu- lation as to the possibility of delaying the vote for Senator and perhaps may ocession another | ‘The law provides that balloting the second Tuesday after the day of or joint session, A joint session is ely after meeting to re- | ceive the election returns, The legislature | met according to law, but as the senate has | failed to organize it is not a legal body and no joint session has been held. The question is, Will the ballot be taken mext Tuesday as ap- inted by law, as the democrats desire it shall e, or delaved until the second Tuesday after the body becomes a constitutionally legal one by the organization of the senate, asthe repub- licans would prefer? The point is this: It re- | quiresa ten dayg notice to hold a new election, | and in the case bf the sick republican member | from Tyler, who has resigned, a successor | could be elected and present himself in time to | vote for Senator if the vote is delayed. If not delayed beyond Tuesday the democrats have a majority of two on joint ballot. he hope of the republicans in delaying the vote is occasioned by a small family fuss among the democrats, which may lead to disaffection and lessen Kenna’s chances, Col. J.B. Peyton, who had been clerk of the house of delegates for sixteen years, was beaten for that ntion by J. M. Hamilton, who represented Kenna’s interests. Those who oppose Col. Peyton took more than ordinary satisfaction, it is’ said, out a SPOILING FOR A FIGHT. Bitter Feeling Still Prevails Between the Factions in Gray County, Kan.

He is for free coal, but not for free salt; or, he is for free salt but not for free coal.” (I am not sure which). He was paired with himself; and the record stands in that way to-day. ‘MR. HISCOCK REPLIED TO MR, VEST. Referring to the speeches and votes of re- publicans in the past in favor of free salt, he said that nothing so completely illustrated the progress which had been made than the fact that 12 or 14 years had changed the minds and judgment of those men on the question. When | they spoke and voted the industry was limited to two congressional districts in the United States. Now it extended even as far west as California, The result of keeping salt on the dutiable list had been to reduce the price toa point never before known in the history of the business; and. in view of that fact, republicans were now unanimously in favor of maintaining the protection afforded by the present law. M Iaer opposed the amendment,” He had supposed. when it was offered, that it was done in @ jocular way. He did not suppose that there was any serious opposition to the tariff on salt; for, if there was anything in tariff legislation which showed clearly the benefits of protection it was the salt industry as developed in this country. The present price at Saginaw, where about one-third of the salt of the United States was produced, was only 6 cents abushel. The effect of protecting the home industry had been to make the price of foreign salt come down one-third in fifteen years, notwithstand- ing the enhanced price of labor abroad. He declared his belief that the discouragement of the salt industry, by the withdrawal of protec- tion, would DOUBLE THE PRICE OF SALT IN FIVE YEARS, and would compel the abandonment of many of the salt works of Michigan. He referred tothe Saginaw Salt association, which had been char- acterized by Mr. Vest as a trust, and said that if Mr. Vest WISHED TO MAKE TRUSTS POPULAR he could do nothing better than hold up before the country what had been the mission of that salt association, Business had been done more cheaply. Instead of the various salt companies having runners out throughout the United So the International Maritime Confer- ence Has Been Dropped. The international maritime conference, for which an appropriation was made last session of Congress, and which was to have taken place in April, has fallen through. The pur- pose of the conference was to establish an international code of signals and “rules of the road” for the high seas, so as to lessen the danger of collision and to have a better under- standing generally as to sea travel. The idea of such a congress had been discussed for some time before Congress took action in the matter. In the first instance England had begun the | agitation of the question and had talked of such a congress to meet there, but PARLIAMENT HAD FAILED TO ACT upon the suggestion when it was taken up here. Congress appropriated some 20,000 for the ex- penses of the congress provided for the ap- pointment of American representatives and the issuance of invitations to all the nations of the world to send representatives to Washing- ton next spring. The invitations were sent out, the date of meeting being fixed for April, and nearly all the governments accepted. England, however, wanted to learn something about the scope and character of the proposi- tion before agreeing to take part in it, and ASKED A GREAT MANY QUESTIONS about it which could not be answered to their satisfaction. England wanted this to be no more than a preliminary conference, the con- grevs for the final settlement of the question to beheld in England under the auspices of the British government. The British foreign office took the position that, under the circum- stances, whatever was done ought to be under their patronage. Consequently they refnsed to take part in the meeting. No congress would avail anything without the consent of Great Britain, and the matter hashad to be dropped for the time. Letters have been written to the American ministers in the various foreign courts withdrawing invitations and postponing the congress indefinitely.

No salt works in Michigan had been Sioned; but the weak ones had been helped. Mr. Vest—Does the Senator say that the cre- ation of the Michigan salt trust has diminished the price of salt? Mr. Palmer—I do not say that that was the intention, but that has been the practical re- sult. In 1867, nine years prior to the organi- zation of what the Senator from Missvuri calls a trust, salt sold at $1.70 a barrel, In 1876 it was 31.05, Since then it has run down, till it is now only 51 cents—ineluding the cost of the barrel, which remains arbitrary all the time.

After the adjournment of this meeting, which was attended by a great many — General Myers proceeded by car- riage to Ingalls, about 7 miles farther west, and a similar meeting was held there with sim- ilar results, Every prominent citizen and, im fact, everybody in the county, said Myers, was connected with one faction or the other and THE MOST BITTER PEELINGS PREVAIL. He found the town of Ingalls in arms and prepared for war, but directed them at once to lay aside their weapons. He thinks that with- out the presence of the militia the two factions would have another battle, as there is such in- tense feeling of hatred and revenge. All busi- jness is suspended in both towns. All trains passing through are closely watched by men, who fear a surprise, altho such thing is highly improbable.’ It is learned that both towns have ordered a large supply of am- munition.

Thursday next there will be polling in fifty-seven out of fifty-eight divisions of the metropolis for the first London county council, Appeals to electors appear on every boarding and letter-boxes are stuffed full of addresses, but comparatively few people ap- pear to understand what the functions of the new body will be, Politics do not enter largely into the question. Lord Roseberry and Sir John Lubbock, two of the best known candi- dates. have the support of electors belonging to both parties. Lady Landhurst, who as one of the promoters of the Women’s Liberal League received a letter from Mrs. Gladstone recommending her election, stands professedly as a radical for Brivtol, but it is doubtful | whether she would be allowed to sit if elected, The London council has no voice in vital ques- tions, such as water, lighting, and paving, which remain, as before, in the hands of the parish vestries, ———>___ THE PARNELL COMMISSION.
