THE REDUCTION ON SUGAR. v0 Planters Fiercely Contond That It Will Be Ruinous, THE TARIFF BILL'S PROGRESS, Dilatory Tactics Democrats Adopted the Keep it Going Before the House, By to From WasmINGTON Bunreay Tie Osana Bee, 518 FoURTEENTH STRRRT, l WasnixeroN, D, C.. Jan. 5, ) attack was made to-day, before the senate committee on finance, on the pro posed reduction of 50 por cent of the sugar duty and the giving of a bounty of 1 cent a pound on the production of domestic sugar. The assault was led by John Dymond and Mr. Rodney, both extensive and well known sugar planters of Lomsiana, Scnator Gibson of that stat trade democrat in every. thing but sugar, spoke in the same direction 1 to either a re the giving of a On the con duction of the pros bounty of any denomination, trary they demanded that there should be an dincrease of the duty on sugar, with a view to encourging home production, Th asked that the old duty, which is considerably higher than the present, be restored, They de red that a bounty would not be an encour- sment to sugar producers becausc it was oo complicated in its operations and would bring tog much trouble to the producers. Thoy arfed further that the production of sugar in the United States was only gotting a foothold; that it had been demonstrated that beet sugar could be produced in this country quite as successfully as i any other, and that this discovery having only just been made should be developed. There were two Tearings given by the committce, oue in the morning and one later in the afteruoon. The committee gave no indication s to what would be done, but it is learned to-night that the present arrangement to cut the sugar duty in half and givea bounty of 1 cent a pound stands unaltered, THE TARIFE BILL. ‘There was very littlo progress made on the tariff bill in the sena demo- crats continued toden 1 nocs cvary time a vole was taken on one of their ambndments, although they knew befo hand that they would be voted down on party lines. Mr. Brown, of Georgia, voted with the republicans a fow times. The object of the democrats in_asking for the ayes and nocs on all votes is to delay final action on the bill. They are yet in hopes that they can keep the bill away from the house till Sor time in Pebruary. They e now inter- preting their agrecment to take a vote on the bill on the 21st inst., two weeks from next Monday, to that they will then begin voting on the amend- meuts, and not that they ar 10 take a fiual note on the bill as a whole at that time, If they can make their inter- ion of their agreement hold, the proba- es are that they will succeed in delaying final action for two'or three weeks beyond the date named. No cbanges were made in the bill, Allproposed amendments were re- jected. Up to the present time Major Mce IKinley says that no arrangements have been made by the republican members of the com- mittee on ways and means s to what course shall be pursucd when the senate bill is sent over to the house. kvery- thing will depend upon the protection democrats in the house, even if the bill should reach that body in time to secure action at this session. If they will stand by the re- publicans and vote against_the reference of the measure to the committe on ways and meuns the house may have an opportutity to assist the senate in the passage of a tarift bill. Concerted action on the part of the re publicans in the house will be delayed until the senate disposes of the measure, GOFF TO BE KEATED. A letter has been reccived from West V' ginia, stating that General Nathan Goff, re- publican, will be seated in the governor's chair and that his democratic ~opponent recognizing tho fact has cntered a protest. The letter continues: *“The guber- notional contest cannot be definitely settled until after the 4th of March, and Goft be- comes governor for the time. On the face of the returns he is elected, and on March 4 he will assume the oftice and perform his duties. Then there will be a shaking up of the dry bones. KEvery state institution is in- tensely democratic, and the legisiature for years has been busy suppressing scandals arising from their mismanagement. This is particularly true of the state insanc asylum and the penitentiary. Senator Kenua will likely be defeated for re-clection and a republican chosen in his place. He has been in Charleston for wecks workiag up recalcitrant democrats, and trying to get republican votes. Some democratic members of the legislature declare they will never vote for him, and others are looking around for an available candidate. Senator Robert Carr (independent) is safe in the republican fold. His vote gives a republicau majority of two in the senate. 'I'wo democratic senators, Yeater and Sweency, have clearly no right to their seats, They will be contested and probubly unscated. ~ This would give the re- publicans & majority of six in the senate and three on joint ballott. Goff will then be seut to the United States senate, and cither State Senator N. B, Scott or Senator Carr will succeed as governor, COMPLIMENTING SENATOR PADDOCK. To-day a number of senators extended con- gratulations to Senator Paddock upon his very hearty and general endorsement by the eastern and for western newspapers for the sition of secretary of agriculture under President Harrison. Senator Paddock is recommended as an experienced and skilfull agriculturist, and his business capacity is iven the highest possible praise by his en- orsers, Undoubtedly Senator Paddock could come as near getting a place in the cabinet @s any man in the northwest if he were inclined in that direction. ~He is highly regarded by President-elect Harrison, with whom he is personally acquainted, but tor Paddock has given no intimation that he desived any other position than the one he now occupies.

Seartie, W, T, Jan. 5.—Since New Yea there hias been much wrangling between the Knights of Labor and the Miners' union, two rival organizations at the little coal min- ing town of Newcastle, eighteen miles from here.

A force of thirty knights cut the t raph lines, sta- tioned sentinels and began assaulting the wmen at the mines, Tho attacking party after- wards boarded the 0 o'clock traig at New- castle, armed with rifies, and rode to Coal Cry At that point the regular force of the Miners'- union was_attacked by the knights with every kind of missile. The train was on @ trestlo and some of tho loaders wera driven and thrown off, fall- ing seventy feetor more. They then retirned to Neweastle and _assaulted the men there again.

The Medical Journal took the oppor- tunity to denounee such ceedin g us “unsafe and barbarous. both be- use tattooing is not permanent, as it can be removed by a solution of and nitrate of si r, and bec: operation there v danger spreading infectious diseases. Much the same view was taken by some local criminal experts when the stion of the Joliet prison authorities was was shown to them. It would be an - outrage,” said Cap- atin Linden, of the Pinkerton detective agency. “Suppose a young fellow should he sentenced to a few years’ imprison- ment for some offense when only 21 years old, say, and should reform while in prison. [t would not be right to make him bear the mark of a conviet all his life. And then it would be of noservice ns o means of identification. A conviet could tattoo other eriminals in the same way as himself, and all distinetive record of him would be lost 1 do not that the law would r allow such a thi to be done. It ould be brutal, hees you b no ht todistigure aoman against his will, and 1 do not think it would be permit- ted in any eivilized cammunity.” Chief of Detectives Wood thought that such a practice could be inaug- urated in prisons without the sanetion of the legislature, Ihey used to brand horse thieves in Pennsylvania years 0o, he suid, “but that was given up, and 1 do not know of any plac where they tattoneriminals now.” T chief v ot disposed to diseuss the ad- vt wtooing, but did not scem 10 be strongly impressed in its favor. Why, we have not even the legal right to make a criminal sit for hi. photography™ said Detective Bond when usked about the matter, **How could we compel him to be tattgoed? 1 do not belicve that the people would ever allow such a thi to be done, and if it should be attempt d they would raise a howl, Suppose a youni fellow who has been in prison’ reforms and marries a nice girl, What a shock 1t would be to 1 when she found that her husband bears the mark of a con- viet, and what o disgrace it would be to her and her childven all their lives, No, sir; such a thing would be an out- rage. One point touched upon by the Medi- cal Journal, and whose foree will be recognized by those nequainted with the process of tattooing and the cffects which sometimes follow it, was the dan- of infeetiop. .

The fact that the saliva of some persons is suflicient to produce poison when introduced into the skin of another would in itself be suflicient to condemn the practice; but, with our knowledge of the germ theory and the principles underlying the d tribution of disease by inoculation, it seems almost impossible that such a dia- ho! bschemes could long flnd a rest- ing pla in the minds of civilizod hu- man beings. - The Fountain of Youth. New York World: Patti is coming o rival of the famous Ninon de I'Enclos, who preserved her beauty to such an extent up to her sixtieth that the grandsons of the men loved her in her youth adored her with as much farvor as their ancestors hnd done in their days. Patti is, to say the very least, a long y from “sweet twenty,” more lik fair and fort, thout the third qualification, yet ple who saw her the other day n Puris could see no visible change, no mark of the last ten or fiteen years upon her, She is still as slim and rounded, stiil without a gray hair in her head, ora wriniie upon ‘her. There hud not come under her chin that small break in the contour of the thront which is the first knell of dead youthfulness. Her hair lay in vich, plentiful black locks about her brow whe not a line was to be seen, Her eyes we clear and bright as a child’s, her cheeks smooth and pink, her tecth snowy and faultless and the delicate lines of her figure just exactly what they were a score of yours buck. * Some impulsive woman seized her and demanded to be told the secrc of her eternal youth and this is what Patti revealed to her. She said “When I am home I go to bed early— at 10:30, T rvise early, that is. eavly for singers, which means 10:30. So you see when Iam not singing [ sleop nearly twelve hours in the twenty-four. Plenty of sleep, that is the seeret of beauty anid freshness. 1 don’t sleep until 10, of course, but I make it a point not to get up at once when I wake, but to take agluss of hot water and a lemon and vend my letters before getting out of bed. It's a mistake 1o jump up right away after waking. 1 bathe in tepid water and then spoge off with a cold Spong On singing duys I take a light and early dinner at 3 and only a biscuit and cup of hot bouillion after the per- formance. No greater quuntity of food and plenty of sleep, that’s the way to keep one'’s complexion intact. I rarely touch wine, liqueur-glass full of whisky after luncheon or. dinner, sometimes i wlass of champagne. Nothing more. But the main and veal secret of Patti’s perennial youth and the one she did not dwell upon, is the fact that she | never given way to any emotions, Sk has avoided all feelings of ¢ v sort, as far & possible, hate, love, everything that might make aline on her fair face. vl An Electrcal Ballet A new ballet was presented upon the stage of the Kmpire theater, of London, a,short time since, which is novel and said to be remarkably successful, Its success was due in a great measure to the use of electric lights, The corps de ballet, numbering nearly sixty, were each supplied with a small electric lamp placed among the hair and at- tached by a comb, the current being derived from a primary battery of four cells, measuring about three and one- half inches by two aud one-half inches, and some three pounds weight, It took about nine months to fit all these lamps to the wearers, and when displayed the effect was marvelous. e Hams, 10¢; butter, 200; beef, Se to 10¢; leaf lard, tic; pork, 6¢ to Bc: bologna, e, Omaha Meat Co., 1812 Leavenworth st.
