THE OMAHA DALy BEE BEVENTEENTH YEAR. OMAHA, MONDAY MORNIN APRIL 30, 1888, NUMBER 317, RANDALL'S TARIFF STRENGTH His Followers Will Defeat Chairman Mills' Measure. IS BLAINE STILL IN THE RING. The President's Campaign Conduct and Summer Jauntings Outlined— Ihe Executed Anarchists' Case to Be Revived Again. Just Strong Enough to D feat. “WasmNeroN Bureav tie Omana B 518 FOURTEENTI STRRET, Wasnrsaroy, D, C., April 20. Mr. Randall is confident that the Mills tariff bill will never become a law in any form. Ho knows his strength in opposition 10 it, and every man who will vote with him on the democratic side has been instructed to keep quict until the time comes for action. One of Mr. Randall's most confidential and intimate friends in the house said to me to- night: ‘“The Mills tariff bill will be defeated by between five and eight majority. The Randall democrats are laying very low, 8o as not to expose themselves to outside influ- ences, Fifteen men on the democratic side will vote with Mr. Randall to defeat the bill, and the three or four independents in the house are in opposition to the measure, which leaves a natural majority of democrats in the house, politically speaking, of fifteen., There will not be over three republicans who will vote for the bill, no matter how it is amended, Add these to the fiftegn majority and the democrats on the subject would have eighteen majority if all on their side supported the measure, 1t will thus be scen that only ten democrats are necessary to overcome this majority of fifteen democrats and three republicans, in all eighteen. Mr. Randall is sure of fifteen. That makes the majority againstthe bill five.” Judge Kelley also figures that the bill will be defentod by at least five majority. WILL MR. BLAINE MAKE ANOTHER A MENT Some of Mr. Blaine’s most intimate fricnds in congress express that the general and wide discussion of the condition of that distin- guished gentleman’s health, and the prob- ability of his name being placed before the convention, will very soon bring from him another announcement. For sometime. subsequent to the publicaiion of Mr. Blaine's last letter concerning his candidacy, there was an expression among public men in ‘Washington to the effect that it took him clear outside of the list of presidential possi- bilities. The publications which soon fol- lowed announcing that Mr. Blaine’s health was very much impaired, seemed to confirm this belief. But the more recent denials by his sons and intimate friends that he was in ill health have had the effect of creating ‘what, to-day, is deemed to be more than a suspicion that even Mr. Blaine him- self entertains the idea of leading his party in the approaching campaign. More thun anything else to impress this im- pression is the instruction given so many delegates to the Chicago convention selected in the east for Mr. Blaine, and also the selec- tion of 80 many delegates’ in the west and central states without the customary instruc- tions. It is stated by the most ardent friends of Mr. Blaine that in nine instances out of ten, where there have been no instruc- tions in states which have herctofore cast their delogates votes for the man from Maine, it is intended that he shall be sup- ported for the nomination in_convention again, in the event it is shown his health is good enough to make his nomination ad- visable, ME. CLEVELAND'S CAMPAIGN PLANS, ““The president and 1 intend to have jolly times during the campaign,” said Mrs Cleveland to a friend the other day. * will have some nice trips to several parts of the country, and will spend some of the hot term in the mountains. That is, you are goin around the ¢ 'f Mrs. Cleveland, who replied “Oh, not that, but we have so many invi- tations to attend public affairs that it will give us quite a jaunt whenever the pre can get away from his ofticial duties, after congress adjourns we will take a trip into the mountains, where we fish and ret some rest, and then ve shall return here, ak View will afford a retreat whenever it is necessary for the president to be in Wash- ington, and we can slip out through the country on little trips as convenience will permit.” From another source I have it that the president does not intend to be as inactive during the approaching campaign as he was in 1884. On tLu contrary he intends to man- age his own campaign, and to that end the postofiice and interior departments have been ‘well organized for political work. The pres- ident is v much pleased over the transfer of Mr, Vilas to the interior department and the securing of Mr. Dickinson for the post- oftice portfolio. He was not disposed at first to appoint Mr. Fairchild to be secretary of the treasury, believing that he should have a more expericnced politician, as well as an abler financier, but Mr, Fairchild nas far ex- aeeded the expectations of the president. It is said by oue of Mr. Fairchild’s most inti mate fricnds that under President Clevi the head of the treasury department 18 little less than a flgurchead, as not the slightest circular or ofticial act can be issued or per- formed without the fullest consultation and direction of the chief exceutive, It can be seen from all this that the presi- dent will enter the campaign feeling that he oU B to kindo’ ed the swing lady to will enjoy himself and succeod himself. Tt is repeutedly said that even if Mr. Blaine should be his opponent he does not expect any of the personal animosities which em- bittered the last campaign and made the can- didates 1ose mwuch of their self-respect as well as comfort. The outlook, in this respect, is very encouraging to Mrs, Cleveland. Had 8he been the president’s wife in 1884 her po- sition would Lave been uncomfortable. The president is free to say that he expects the campaign to be fought on tariff and free trade lines. He expects his position on the surplus and other national and party issues to also come in for a share of the discussion in the approaching campaign, and for this yeason he is made to feel well, The president does not expect any open or direct work in the campaign to be ‘done by any of his cabmet ofiicers except the post- master gene i as politicians ; and besides their peculiar con- nection with the government would make ir work more awk « than that of the three oficers nawed. Dickinson and Vi ave alresdy quite & the navy is so deeply engaged with his ad- ministration that he has not had un opportu- ity to handle the navy yards and forces e in his cmploy with to political ad- vantage.

Wasuisaron, Aprid Special to the ek, j—About L who have spoker on the tariff bill in the house, or who Tutedd to deliv for some time, their remarks m print. 1t bas speeches upon it, have had, °| become a custom in this congress for mem- bers of both branches of it after carcfully writing set speeches upon any subject to send it to the government printing office, have them put into type, and_the proof carefully read and corrected before delivery. Very frequently advance copies of these specchi are placed in the hands of the home edito and correspondents of newspapers weeks b fore the speeches are delivered in congress. The other day I saw two members sitting before the grate on the Aoor of the house, behind the outer lobby, reading one to the other extracts from their tariff speeches, It was a scene similiar to the dialogue reading that some times takes place in primary schools. 2 Occasionally a member or senator is “‘all broke up” in the delivery of one of these printed speeches. Heo does not expect to be interrupted, and when he is it becomes necessary for him to either destroy the record by printing the speech which he has had in type for some time, or having it re- written by the ofticial stenographers and reset at the government printing ofMce, with a view to preserving the matter in type, if not 10 avoid getting into deep water by a running discussion of the subject with various mem- bers. The men who deliver these printed- in-advance speeches usually refuse to yield the floor for members to ask questions. It is 10t an uncommon thing to see a member, during the tavift discussion, beg his fellow members to desist from asking questions while he is delivering his speech. An hour is set aside for sucl members, in which to speak, and the strangers in the galleries are led to believe that it is because the members speaking do not want to en- croach upon their time that they refuse to yield to questions. This is not true in most instances. The member talking is either afraid to go beyond the outlines of his writ- ten speech by want of general information, or he desires to preserve the body, intact, of the speech as it stands 1n type at the govern- ment printing office, This practice makes a great deal of extra and expensive work for the public printer. Some of the men who think they can deliver fine-spun speeches on the subject, correct and revise them in advance to a great extent, and then when they are de- livered finally they are so broken up by per- sistent members who refuse to keep quiet that the speeches have to be entirely reset iuto type. = One senator recently had his speech put into type three times, and it was a lengthy speech, too. After he had the original manu- script put into type, he was very much dis- satisfied with the speech, and rewrote it. After all of the corrections and revisions had been made he upended himself to speak, never thinking that he would be interrupted by other scnators. He was so questioned that his speech was all broken up into dia- logue, so that it had to be put into type for the third time. The official stenographers in both houses are always at their posts during the delivery of one of these prepared speeches. When there are no interruptions they do not follow, as a usual thing, the speaker; but the instant any one rises to put a question, or make corr - ment, the stenographer begins his work. In many instances senators and representatives require the stenographers to take down every word of their speeches, notwithstanding the fact that they read from manuscript or print. They do this with a view to catching any im- provements they may make as they read, as it sumetimes occurs that they have an inspira- tion and add to their prepared speech whut they consider a valuable suggestion. —_—— IOWA'S JOLLY JOKER. How General Henderson Had the Langh on a Fellow Committeeman. Wasiixaroy, April 20.—[Special to the Bre.]—General Henderson, who is one of the oldest members from Iowa, and one of the strongest men in the house, is a practical joker. He is a member of the sub-committee of the committec on appropriations, which compiles and reports to the fuli committee the District of Columbia appropriation bill. Mr. Clements of Georgia is chairman of the sub-committee. The committees in congress naving District of Columbia matters in chargoe are importuned with those local de- tails affecting improvements, taxes, ctc., the same as are committees in the city council, and if thiey look closely after the good of the people most directly interested they must necessarily familiarize themselves with local interests. Recently the sub-committce had a propo- sition before it looking towards a_number of mprovements in the city of Washington affecting streets, ete. There were appeals from the people to be heard verbally and by petition, but the sub-committce concluded that it would take up too much time to have these hearings, und refused to consider them. One diy General Henderson was standing in front of the door to the room of the committec on appropriations when o number of reporters for the Washington newspapers approached him for news. *Just say, boys. that the sub-committee having the District appropriation billin clirize has con- ded to hear everybody in the District wanting anything, and that they should re- port to this room’ to-morrow and next day, and Mr. Clements will be glad to show them every attention and hear their demands.” That afternoon General Henderson left for his home in Towa, to be gone several days. The next morning delegation after delegation of citizens called at the room of the commit- tee on appropriations and enquired for Mr. Clements. They had lawyers, and neighbor- hood orators, aud community 'speakers, and class leaders, and school teachers, and chair- men of committecs, till the corridor was blocked up. They were there to sce Mr. Clements and to_usk for every conceivable appropriation. The messenger to the com- mittee room finally found Mr. Clements, and told him of the hundreds of people waiting for him, and the Georgian was occupied all day explainiog to them' that the announce- ment in the local uewspapers was made under amisapprebension. During nearly aH of Gen- eral Henderson's absence Mr, Clements was called out of the house ery few minutes by delegations who wunted to- be heard, and it was not until a day or two ago that he learncd that it was & set-up job by the genial statesman from the west. She Married in Haste. Sr. Joskr, Mo., April 20.—[Special Tele- gram to the BEk.]—About noon to-day Mrs. Ella Dye, a young woman about twenty-five years of age, attempted to commit suicide av the Queen City hotel by taking a heavy dose of morphine.

Salutory Effects of Iowa's Sensible Oleomargarine Law. HISTORY OF A LITTLE STORE. The Democratic Factional Fight in Dubuque County and the State Convention — Promising Pros- pects For the Convention, Purchasefs Are Forewarned. Des Moixes, Ia, April 20.—[Special to the Bre.|—The good effects of the oleomar- gerine law are seen 1n all varts of the state. ‘When dealers have to announce a fraud as a fraud very few people care to buy at any price. Dairy Commissioner Sherman, who has just returned from a tour of observation through the state, says that the sale of but- terine is exceedingly light in Iowa. The law now requires persons wishing to sell any sub- stitute for butter that is not butter to take outalicense, and the astonishing fact is stated that there are only six licenses of this kind in Towa. There1s one in Burlington, one in Keokuk, one in Centreville and three in Davenport. Two of the licensees in Dav- enport are not in the business, claiming that it didn't pay. The third one told Mr. Sher- man that when his license expires on the 1st of May he will not renew it. He says he does not sell enough to make sufficient profit to pay for the license. He declares it is very hard to sell the stuff when the package is la- belled with its true name. So the genuine dairy product has full sweep in Iowa. A very important stone has recently been discovered in this city which is attracting a good deal of attention at present. On the south side of the court house square a small stone stands exposed above the rubbish that has hitherto covered it. A good many people didn’t know what it meant, and have been inquiring among the older residents. Now comes the information that the stone isa meridian stone set up by government officials some eighteen or twénty years ago. It was on the occasion of an eclipse when the gov- ernment sent observers to Iowa w take ob- servations, and Des Moines was selected as one of the places. Prof. Simon New- comb, at that time at the head of the naval observatory and the compiler of the nautical almanac, was here in per- son. The first thing necessar, was to get their bearings officially witl reference to the observatories at Washington and Greenwich. After these data were found Prof. Newcomb had a stone set up and prn]mrl&' marked to stand as a very import- ant guide for future use. That was the stone that has just been attracting so much atten- tion. The mark which it commemorates is longitude west 96 degrees, 43 minutes and 5 seconds, latitude north 41 degrees, and 85 seconds. So if anybody in this western country gets lost and wants to know just where he is, he can come to the court house yard in Des Moines and put his foot on that stone and he will have then a definite, exact and mathematical location. It is safe to say that that stone will not be disturbed now that its history is known. ‘There is a good deal of interest being taken in the changes in railroad rates that will be necessary as a result of the railroad legisla- tion of the past winter. Recpresentatives of the leading Towa lines are at work now in Chicago to have their rates conform -to the requirements of the new law. The first thing they will have to do will be to change the existing rates so as to make - the short haul no greater than the long haul. It is not yot known what the railrond commissioners will do. Commissioner Campbell lias been carefully mvestigating the Iilinois system and rates, and some think that for the pres: ent the board will adopt the Illinols rates, with such iucidental changes as may be nec- essary to meet the conditions in Iowa. As the law allows the commissioners sixty days after the law itself goes into effect, there is no immediate hurry about promulgating the new rate, and they arve working along slowly and, consequently, carefully. "Taylor county, which has been the hotbed of grangerism’ in the past few years, an- nounces as arepublican candidate for con- cress Mr. J. P. Flick. This looks as if Mr. Anderson, the independent republican elected two years ago, was _going to have trouble to be renominated. While Mr. Flick himself did not support Anderson then, yet the re- publicans of his county very eenerally did. If they are now for a man of their’ own they will take away from Mr. Anderson one of the strongest props of his candidac, The democratic state convention to elect delegates to the national convention meets at Dubuque next Wednesday. A number of candidates are proposed for delegates at large, among them Mr. J. H. Shields, of Mr. Kelley, editor of the Tribune, Sioux City; Mr. W. W. Witmer, of Des Moines; Mr. J. J. Richardson, of Davenport; Mr. Cato Sells, of La Porte: and Mr. Fred Lehmann, of this city. There does not scem to be any particular contest over the mnomination, and the real fight of the convention 18 likely to be of another kind. The democrats of Dubuque have gotten themselves into a snarl which will require more than. the diplomacy of able leaders to untangle. ‘'There are two factions 1n the local democracy, one headed by the postmaster and editor of one domo- cratic paper, and the other headed by the ed- 1tor of the other democratic paper: Each as- pires to leadership, and one faction having at one time supported some republicans as o scheme to defeat the knights of labor, the other side, which represents the democratic workingmen, has deelared bitter war npon it. Contesting delegations will go to the state convention from that city and thatdbody will ve to decide whether the short-haired or silk stockings represent the real democracy of Dubuque. Whatever the decision will be it is going to make a wide breach in the democracy of the banner democratic county of the state. The attorney general is evidently disposed to make what capital he can in h ivas for renomination or for supreme court judge, but he has gone at it in a very indiscreet way for a politician, at least. = A few daysago he hunted up an old statute which has been practically obsolete for years, which requires transcripts of judgments and notices of ap- peals, ete,, in all eriminal cases in a county where judgment has been rendered against the defendants and have been appealed to the supreme court, to be furnished to the autorney general. This functionary, who has a very exalted opinion of the importance of his office, pounced upon Clerk Wilkinson of this city -the other day with a notice of this kind, There were a large number of cases and the work of making the transeriptions ery laborious, But the clerk set about ving it mullv.c\'hll\-m]) not 80 quickly ps atforpey general would desire, for he socired 18 GvaBE Traf tlie governor to bring suit against the clerk to compel him to do 0 at once or be removed from oftice, The gen eral sentiment of the community is that the general has gone off prematurely, i after > huppen to increase his chance prohibition ¢ be, will not mater; 1 advance 1 comu appointed by the ure to investigate the affairs of > the state university have issued a notice P fixing u hearing for 15 at lowa City.

As there are no candidates 10 be elected to Werative offices to pay fare or procure passes for the boys, it is evident that pure enthusiasm for tho party good is the on'y motive ealling the clans together. There 18 naturally a great desire to hear the famous orators who are to speak that day. Hon. Edward O. Woleott, of Denver, has made no public address since his famous speech at the New England dinner in New York city last December As he is very frequently mentioned as a candidate for United States senator from Colorado it is thought that this speech will have especial significance and will be read with special in- terest by the people of both states.

American Artista Well Represented On the Walls of the Salon—-Some of Those Who Furnished Pictures, The Edict Against Ireland. Loxnox, April 20.—The text of the papal decree says: On soveral occasions the apostolic sce has given the people of Treland, whom it has always regarded with special benevolence, suitable admonition and advice, when cir- cumstances required, as to how they might defend their rights without injury to justice or public peace. Our holy father, Leo X1, fearing lest in the species of warfare that had been introduced among the Irish in con- tests between landlord and tenants, and ‘which is commonly called the *‘plan of cam- paign,” and in the kind of social interdict called boycotting, arising from the same contests, the true sense of justice and charity might be perverted, ordered the supreme congregation of inquisition to sub- ject the matter to serious and careful exam- ination. Hence the following was proposed to their eminences, the cardinals of that congration. Is it permissible in dis- putes between landlords and their tenants in Ireland to use the means known as the “‘plan of campaign’? and “‘boycotting” 1 After long and mature deliberation their emi- nencies unanimously answered in the nega- tive and their decision was confirmed by the holy father on Wednesday, the 18th of the present month. The justice of this decision will be readily seen by any one who applies his mind to consider that the rent agreed on by mutual consent cannot, without violation of contract, be diminished at the mere will of the tenant, especially when there are tribu- nals appointed for settling such contro- versies and reducing unjust rents, within the bounds of equity, after taking into ac- count the causes which diminish the value of land. Neither can it be considered permissa- ble that rents be extorted from tenants and deposited in the bands of unknown persons to the detriment of land owners. Finally it is contrary to justice and charity to persecute by social interdict these who are satisfied to pay the rents they agreed to pay er.those who in the exercise of their rights take vacant farms. It will, therefore, be your lordship’s duty prudently but effect- ually to advise and exhort the clergy and laity not to transgress the bounds of christian charity and justice while they are striving for a remedy for their distressed condition. (Signed) CARDINAL MONACO. Rome, April 20. ROME'S INTERFERENCE. What Egan and Sutton Have to Say of the Pope's Decree. LixcoLy, Neb., April 20.—On the auestion of the papal condemnation of the plan of campaign, Patrick Egan, ex-president of the National Leaguo of America, said to-day: “Such a gourse of Rome has been expected by those acquainted with the_intriguc be- tween the tory government and the vatican. It has long been the desire of papal advisers to secure direct diplomatic relations with England and have an accredited repre- sentative at the court of St. Janmes. It was also a pet scheme to have endowed the Catholic university in Treland. It is understood the tory govern- ment hias promiscd to satisfy these desires on condition the authority of the papacy be di- rected toward what they are pleased to term the ‘pacification of Ireland’—in other words, the crippling of the national league. This attempt at spiritual interference in matters partly temporal and political, will, instead of suppressing, put new life and determination into the movement; will raise up unexpected difticulties for England, and bring no credit or advantage to Rome, ' Irish Catholics re- cognize y clearly that church men are not the church, and while they will have no _ quarrel with the later, they will stand no_dictation from the former, and esp ¢ when no q faith and morals is involyed. To r such methods to keep their ends by ion of sort to the Tory government indicates they are indeed getting into desperate straights.” Secretary Sutton of the leaguo s “Papal interference with the national affairs of Ireland should meet with speedy and emphatic ance. 1t is not the first time Romsh pol ans have been hired to knife tho nationahty of Ircland, only to find the edge of their weapons turned by the indestructible breast plate of Ireland’s fidelity to the principles of liberty.

LoxnoN, April 20.—The Economist says to-da *‘We expect to hear little of Ameri- can treasury accumulations if the American government maintains the present rate of purchasing bonds. There will be a difficulty, however, which is likely to increase as the supply of bonds diminishes. It is easy to skim the market of bonds closely held, but difficult to reach those held for investment, which will only be surrendered on distinctly advantageous terms.”” Commenting on the presidential election the Economist says: ‘A vast business, financial and railway schemes, hangs upon the result of the election. Even Enghsh business waits. Europe has hardly realized that the growth of America has advanced the president’s position to one of immense power and _responsibility, so that it is now one of the first importance on earth.

The Bodies of an O1d Woman and Her Grandson Discovered After They Hud Been Missing - For Nearly a Month, A Sickening Tragedy. CororApo SrriNas, Colo., April 20.—[Spe- cial Telegram to the Ber.|—Yesterday a ranchman by the name of S. K. Harris, and a Mrs. Beach, made a ghastly find on a ranch amile and a half northwest of Edgerton station, For several months past an old lady by the name of Kearney and her grandson, about eight years old, named Hand, have been living on the ranch which is in a very desolate place, somewhat removed from the line of travel. The nearest neighbors were an old couple, who resided about four hun- dred yards from the house. Just o month ago to-morrow Mrs. Kearney and the boy vis- ited the old people, who stated that they were then apparently enjoying good health. About a week ago they noticed that there ‘was no evidence of life about the Koarney house, and supposed the old lady and boy had left the country. They spoke about the matter to some neighbors,one of whom wrote Mrs. Kearney's relatives at St. Louis to know what had become of her. A few days ago the neighbors received a letter from St. Louls stating that nothing was known of her where- abouts and that no word had been received from her since the middle of March. Yester- day a telegram was received for Mrs, Kear- ney, but when the messcnger rode to the ranch to deliver it, he found all the doors locked and the place up‘)m'cmly deserted. ‘This morning, shortly before noon, Mr. Harris went to the Edgerton postofice ex- pecting to receive a letter from Mrs. Kear- ney’s relatives in St. Louis. Instead of that, he met Mrs, Beach, one of her daughters, who arrived on the train. In the afternoon they proceeded to the ranch with the inten- tion of making a thorough search of the premises. Arriving at the place they found the doors locked inside. After forcing one of the doors they entered the house, Noth- ing unusual was noticed about the arran ments of the interior of the building. I3 lady, however, was of the opinion that the house had been ransacked, as there were some signs of disorder in the rooms. Finding nothing in or about the house that- would explain the absence of the former oo~ cupunts, the searchers repaired to a small stable near the building, where they made a horrible discovery. In one corner of a small grain room lay the body of theold lady. badly decomposed. ~From the unnatural po. sition of the body it was judged that it had been thrown into the corner. Owing to the advanced stage of decomposition about the head, it was impossible to distinguish any marks of violence there, and it was thought- best not to disturb the body until the coroner should arrive. In another corner of the room was a feed box, which in the examination revealed an- other horrible sight. In it was the body of the little boy, which had been literally jammed into it. The box was not large enough to contain the entire body, and one foot was found protruding. from it. The Volv ol Wi Loy was uot oo badly decom- g: as that of the old lady, and blood cowld plainly seen on the neck, which npmnt! had proceeded from some kind of a woun The coroner will leve for the ranch at ong "This is oue of the most’ mystericus affairs that ever occurred in this county. The num. ber of suspicious circumstances surrounding it would 1y indicate foul play and not suicide. The old lady and the boy have been in the habit of taking an occasional trip to Denver to be gone days at a time, so the fact that the house remained closed did not at firsy arouse suspicion that anything was wrong! If she hud any motive for committing suicide, it is not revealed by anything she has ever said or written, If she killed herself she must have deliby y_murdered the boy before doing so. Sev 's ugo the boy's father committed suicide in this city by tak- ing morphine, and th was very ‘b shocked at the ti 5 take of the boy nearly ever sinc Abou! three weeks ago one of the Harris brothers, lives within a mile and a half of the ¢ vanch, heard several shots fired, rently at the ranch. He attached no particular significance to them at the time, but since the finding of the hodics he caunot help associating them with the death of the old lady and the boy. A STRIKER MURDERED.
