The President's tariff bill with free coal and tron, dutiable sugar and the income tax as characteristic fea- tures, is nearer to the democratic platform than the Senate bill, but not so near as the House bill, and the latter, as already pointed out, is itself hardly within hailing distance. If the income tax ts to be re- tained there is mo revenue need to yield to the sugar trust, as recommended by the President. In this clash between the House proposition of free coal, iron and sugar and an income tax and the Senate proposition of dutiable cual, iron, sugar and an income tax, and the President's proposition of free coal and iron, dutiable sugar and an income tax, there is possibility of the survival of the existing law with customs duties which Many republicans themselves believe should in certain respects be reduced, but which has the great merit of lacking the populisilc income tax. It is clear that tne aemocratic party can- Not patrioticaily be otherwise than guilty of the “perfidy” of disregarding certain radical anti-protection declarations of the recent platform. To crystallize the abstract principles then announced immediately in- to law would be to work an appalling and disastrous revolution among the industries of the republic, and to destroy the demo- cratic party. To avoid this alternative the Most sensitive political conscience would hardly revolt at a trifle of periidy, particu- larly as so many other planks of the vio- lated platform have already been smashed into kindling wood. It ought not to be impossibie te rrame a tariff-for-revenue measure, which should correct the most conspicuous injustices of the McKinley act, impose suitable burdens upon the injurious luxuries, and raise the revenues necessary for the government without cursing the republic with an income tax. = a tion of that Iree-tra able from the vi cratic for an f tax. Inste: oe An English electrician named Hill has discovered that a diiference of potential ex- ists between different parts of various fruits So that an electric current may be obtained by connecting such parts by wire. In pur- suit of his experiments he succeeled in obtaining a current powerful enough to Fing an electric bell from a battery of twelve melons connected in series by plati- num wires inserted at their tops and bot- toma While at first glance the investiga- tion of Mr. Hill may seem interesting only from g scientific standpoint, further study of the matter discovers in It many points of Practical usefulness. By a proper applica- tion of the discovery the man who owns @ watermelon patch can rig up an electric bell and a shot-gum close to the head of his bed and relapse into peaceful slumber with a knowledge that any interference with his pregjo @ quick knowle ued by some of the less conscien- industrials” in re- mers contiguous rause the dis- considered gard to to their camp will p covery Mr. H portant in this vicinity. ot im- ite a letter the income at section of the in that body? croap hast ot Gatien in the Senate ren- dered the tax unn ry as a revenue Producer, and the intervention of his depro- t at that time have had some incident con in con- n the confidence which for a long time in the Chic nelus that humaa tach importance ‘dered any es. on stat F in t gan ed to one-half of t expenses ef the District, and that thi ulation was intended to be aad should be a finz! settlement of the financial relations between government and the District; that the settlement wae « ‘ost one to the a | for improvements that could in no sense be read to commit bur- | United States; that it has stood for six- teen years, and the faith of the gavern- ment, Is, in the opinion of the committee, pledged to its continuance.” Over this mat- ter there can be no argument between hon- est men. The general government framed its own terms and in very many ways had the best of the bargain when it made the half-and-half arrangement of which a few unthinking and uninformed congressional obstructionists occasionally make complaint. The Senate committee, aside from its evi- dent desire to deal justly by the peopte of this city, evidently bears In mind the tre- queatly-forgotten fact that this is tne cap- ital of the nation and that it deserves much more cf consideration from the national legislature than it has ever had. It should be borne in mind that for many years the people of the District not only received no material assistance from the general gov- ernment in the labor of developing *he cap- ital, but contributed a large sum cf money regarded as simply local. No rational being will attempt to controvert the statement in the report that “it would nt be in keeping with the dignity and honor of the govern- ment to break away now from this coatract with the taxpayers of the national capital.” — soe Prof. Wilder, of Cornell, suggests that ehloroferm should be used freely to relieve the victims in railway accidents, ond de- eclares that every railway passenger car should be equipped with a tin can of chloro- form, that can be easily opened with a knife, and the whole placed in a box lined with absorbent cotton. In case of a dis- aster one or two tablespoonstul upon a handkerchief held near the rostrils would sibility very soon. Professcr Wilder says that he has gone armed fer several years with a two-ounce bottle of loroform stowed away in his pistol pocket, and while it has not yet been necded in a railway wreck it has often come into use for the speedy relief of inward pain. The professor has also found his novel weapon very eiflcacious when he has been attacked by ferocious dogs; in such instances the chloroform emptied upon the canine’s nos- trils has caused the animal to cease a efforts at assault. Probably the best part of the professor's suggestion is that where he intimates that the prompt and potent chloroform might replace the dangerous policeman’s club in the treatment of recal- citrant prisoners. Perhaps it would be wef for Major Moore to look into this matter. While Washington policemen are known to be kind almost to the point of affectionate tenderness in thetr treatment of those w’ resist thelr authority, there have, neverthe- less, been unfortunate instances where their batons have come into accidental but none the less forcible contact with the heads of offenders. Armed with a bottle of chloroform, however, the policeman would be a dispenser of peace in every sense of the word. Instead of belaboring a physic- ally-objecting prisoner over his devoted head, all an officer would have to do would be to stick his anesthetic holder under the other’s nose, and white-winged calm would hover o'er the scene and smile its sweetest. So let the crusade in behalf of chloroform degin in earnest. Let all the implemen with which the guardians of the law are now equipped to uphold their authority, if need be, with physical strength be bantshod forever. Think, for instance, how much more potent a factor a carboy of chloro- form would be im quelling a disturbance in the House of tatives than the mace of the Sergeant-at-Arms. The pos- sibilities opened in this connection are al- most overwhelming, and {t gould not be a bad idea for the two houses of Congrasa to authorize their smelling committees to in- vestigate the subject and report upon it at the earliest possible date. er o-—_— There was much of the politically-pecu- Kiar In the alliance unconsciously made yes- tcrday between President Cleveland and Senator Hill, but none of the features upon which they agree or seem to agree is as in- teresting to the great majority of the peo- ple as the income-tax feature. The ground- work for the Senator’s somewhat caustic comment as to this extremely tmproper ad- dition to the tariff bill was a sentence in the letter which the President wrote to Chairman Wilson of (x House committee on ways and means: “You know how much I deprecated the incorporation in the pro- posed bill of the Income-tax feature.” Mr. Hill was justified In expressing surprise at t announcement, for it had been the common belief that the President was de- eldedly in favor of an Income tax. He so placed himself on record in his message to the present Congress, and although since the publication of that document the Amer- ican people have, through various unques- tlonable sources, been put in possession of supplementary information as to the Pres!- dent's views on many more or less import- ant matters, there has been no known op- Pesition on the part of the administration to what has generally been condemned as the least excusable cf all imposts. The country fs, therefore, In close accord with Senator Hill when he says, as he did yes- terday: “This is the first time that I hav heard of taat proposition. The President does not say that the country knows it, he does not say that the democracy knows it, he says ‘you know :t'—Mr. Wilson knows it-and Mr. Wilson has kept that tnforma- tion within his own breast from that da to this hour.” In view of this unimpcacha- ble denial of affirmative Interest In the In- come-tax proposition, it is rather astonish- ing to recall the unbroken Presidential st- lence that prevailed when the President was so liberally being quoted fn both branches of Congress as favoring the most unpopular and unjust sort of a tax. Vague- ly, there has Been an understanding to the effect that the President was opposed to an individual income tax, yet was willing ave the viclous system applied to cer- tain varieties of corporations, but the F dential pesition on this extremely important question has never been clearly defined and Is not even now. It ts, however, evi- dent that the President views with dis- avor the presence of the Income-tax prop- fon im the tariff bill, but whether his opposition 1s based upon the fact that the tax legislation is in the tariff bill or upon a principle such as has impelled some of the best and brightest of American citizens to oppose the demoralizing levy, is not at this time apr t. >> ——— eson of a battery of artillery exploding without apparent cause at Chi the magazine at Fort Pulas ch torpedo boz going on thelr t peace today, 3 of war to go off by them- Is it that sate nature Is res . see?

THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1894—TWENTY PAGES. 7a WEEK. The past week has witnessed Fane “utter collapse of the sympathetic strike on the railways centering at Chicago to aid the strikers at Pullman, Ill. It also witnessed the departure of the federal troops from Chicago, Mayor Hopkins having signified that order could be preserved by the state troops and the civil authorities. With the collapse of the strike the leading labor of- ficlals were indicted for contempt of court in ignoring injunctions against interference with interstate traffic, and President Debs, rather than be released on bail, went to Cook county jail. Quiet has since reigned. Violence on the part of strikers or their sympathizers did not entirely cease, and there were several attempts at train wreck- ing and assaults on trainmen. Troops have been dispatched westward to restore order and prevent violence while opening the Union Pacific railroad, A notable suit was flied at Los Angeies against the Southe-n Pacific railroad to dissolve the corporation known as the Southern Pacitic railroad of Kentucky, which the district attorney claimed had violated the provisions of the anti-trust act. Many strikers at Pullman have given up, and it is hoped to resume operations there dusing the coming week. The event of the week in Cengress has been the disagreement of the House with the Senate on the tariff bill. As was ex- pected, the House insisted on the free, raw material features of the bill. Representa- tive Wilson in making the report of the fiouse conferees read a letter from the President which strongly criticised the ac- tien of democratic Senators in abandoning free raw materials as an act of perfidy and dishonor in view of the democratic platform of 1892. The letter has caused a sensation and has been criticised by some as an un- warrantable int ce by the executive.

Yale athletes were beaten in the contests in London with Oxford's icked men, winning three and a half vents to five and a haif for Oxford. In the District. Measures in the District's interest oc- cupied considerable attention in the Sen- ate during the past week. The District ap- propriation bill passed that body and so also did the Metropolitan railroad bill. The District committee of the Senate directed a favorable report to be made on the bond issue bill, on the basis of the plan by which all District expenses are now met. Several members of the so-called industrial army were arraigned in the Police Court on the charge of begging, and after being warned emphatically by the court that such meth- ods for securing food would not_be tolerated were released. Statements wePe published of @ movement to secure co-operation be- tween the Cotmbian University and the University of Chicago.
