1L STIRRED UP THE SOUTH Democrats of that Section Roundly De- nounce His Recent 8peech, TO THEM THE SENATOR IS A FALLEN IDOL | | They Think the New York Statesman is | Bidding for the Friendship of » | Number of Rich Men of Tl State, SHINGTON BUREAU OF THE DEE, 513 Fourtoenth Street, WASHINGTON, April i4. Senator Hill's speech continues to be the principal topfe of conversation In political circles. There 1s no question that it has stirred up his democratic associates In a way that they have not been stirred up for many a day. And they do not like the operation. Especially is this caso with the democrats of the south, w! formerly Senator Hill had so many admirers who looked to him to be their Moses to lead them away from Clevelandism. He Is today with them a fallen idol. They are turning their worshipping faces towards Cleveland, and those who have turned the most quickly are those who but a few days ago were loudest and most vigorous in their denunciations of “the man in the white sy no longer speak of him by term, but President Cleveland. rom Virginia xas this change of feeling 1s ap Here i1s a sample or two of thelr talk “I heard Senator Hill's speech,” wald Representative Swanson of Virginia. “I do not like th pirit of it. 1 do not consider it nocratic. It was a speech from a pro- tectionist standpoint. I cannot sce from his point of view where there can be any tariff reform, Under the McKinley law the rey- enues hardly suffice to answer the needs of the government. The only way we can se- cure a tariff reform, which means a redue- tion of customs duties, is by the imposition of an income tax. Mr. Hill's idea is to col- lect as much money by the tariff schiedules as ever, but to reform matters by simply shifting the duty from one article to an- othier. This {dea of tariff reform is a sham and a humbug which cannot deceive the people. His threat to vote against the bill it the income tax is retained should have no effect upon the friends of that mensure I belleve the tariff with the income tax ls stronger both in the house and the senat than it would be without it. In the senate with this feature atached the bill will re- the support of Peffer, Kyle, Allen and Stewart. There are only two democrats who will vote against the bill with this feature retaincd—Hill and Murphy. Thoso democrats who are fighting the bill are using the income tax as a pretext for an- tagonism, while their real opposition re- sults from the tariff reductions contained in it They arc afraid to come out in the oven and fight it on account of the strong sentiment in the party in favor of it. All the senate needs to pass this bill is to adopt the cloture rule, Cloture in the sen- ate Is a reform as much needed as any I know of."" IS TRUE DEMOCRACY SHOWN. 'nator Hill’s practical announcement of lis intention to vote against the Wilson bill unless the income tax provision is climinated shows the true quality of his democracy sald Representative Jones of Virginia. I am not prepared to credit the story that the next republican ticket will be McKinley and Hill, but L am quite sure that the one stands as much chance as the other to be upon the next democratic ticket. The democrats of the south and west will be sure to have some- thing to say as to the composition of that ticket, and by their help Hill will now never be upon it." Representative Hutcheson of Texas said that no man was big enough to cut the limb of the tree between bimself and the trunk of the tree and keep: from faliing, and that was what Hill had tried to do in Lis speech. “I think,” he" continued, “that Mr. Hill has abandoned all hdpes of ever getting higher than ho now f8. I think he has abandoned all hopes of being a national figure and will hereafter confine’ his political ambition to what New York can give him, and that his speech s to be interpreted accordingly. It seems like a deliberate bid to rally to his support the rich men of his state who have not heretofore been his friends.” “No other man than Hill,” said Represen- tative Gresham of Texas, “‘could have revived the waning popularity of President Cleveland as he has. By his speech he has convinced his former friends in the south that he is a small man and that Mr. Cleveland under- stood his measure better than they did.” And so it goes from one cnd of the south to the other, 50 far as congre:smen are con- cerned. - Apparently they have discovered that their fdol is of clay and they resent it accordingly. Having no one else to turn to they turn to Cleveland, who a few days ago was the most unpopular man among them of *any democratic leader in the country. Whether this resentment will last cannot now be safely said, but it is mighty hot just at this time, WESTERN POSTMASTERS APPOINTED.

Chaplain's Prayer About the Only Business Transacted Yesterday. WASHINGTON, April 14.—The fact that the democratic caucus yesterday decided to have formulated a rule provi for the counting of members present but not vot- ing did not have the effect of inducing the house republicans to desist from their fili- bustering. As soon as the chaplain had his prayer, Mr. Reed raised the point of order that the pending question was the approval of the journal of yesterday, on which the house ‘was divided when it ad- journed. The speaker held in accordance With the rule that the journal must first be read to officially disclose to the house the parliamentary status. Mr. Reed did not contest the matter further, but when the journal of yesterday's proceedings had been read, Mr. Boutelle objected to its approval. Mr. Dockery moved its approval, whereupon Mr. Boutelle forced the yeas and nays. The republicans declined to vote and the resulf s announced, 142 to 0, showing th: the democ s were thirty-seven short of a quorum and that it was mani im- possible to supply the deficiency today. Mr. Outhwaite moyed to adjourn. = The motion was carried @nd the house, at 12 adjourned. ng concluded Report on Allen’s Pension Resolution.

DEMOCRATS CANNOT AGREE Must Have Republican Assistance to Pass a Oancus Measure, REED HOLDS THE TRUMPS HIGH the . Forty-Four Members Cannot Swallow Caneus Ac Endorsing “Cear’ Re Methods of Counting a Quorum— Republicans Will Help Out. WASHINGTON, April 14.—As soon as the brief and fruitless session of the house ended today the plans of the committee on rules were changed so as to have a meet- ing and begin the formulation of the quorum counting rule. It had been intended not to take up the subject until next week, but the enforced recess of this afternoon gave plenty of time to go over the plans sub- mitted. Mr. Outhwaite of the committee ald that the first step would be to examine into these various plans, with a, view of extracting the best possible method. There was evidence of reaction on the democratic side today. An undercurrent of intense hostility to counting a quorum existed. The forty-four who voted against the pro posed rule are the nucleus of this feeling and with other members who are arriving it is estimated that fully a third of the demo cratic membership of the house is opposed the rule. This makes Mr. Reed the master of the situation when the rule comes before the house, as the democratic opponents to the rule and the minority under Mr. Reed would together form an opposition strong enough to defeat the rule. This has made it clear to the friends of the rule that they must shape it to secure the republican endorsement, as without that en- dorsement the caucus action would never be carried into effect in the house. There is every evidence that the elements will come together, however, as the democrats are now so fully committed to counting quorum that they do not propose to disguise their action by an important rule, while, on the other hand, the republicans are ready to accept anything embodying the substance of quorum counting, without quibbling over details. IRRepresentatly has been abses iking iny rch e cratic ¢ to Boatner of Louisiana, who from this city with the igation did not tim demo- cus yeste the action taken he expr he had not been able to attend. in fact contemplated offering at the fi rtunity a rule which he belleved would © the necessity of counting a quorum and at the same time effect prevent filibustering without resorting t un- dignified method of fining members. nder the rule that 1 would offer,” said atner, “any member of the house nig present, refused to vote, not of course, npecuniary ntere lation unier ~consideration, coull Jared in contempt. This would depriy m of the right to make a motion, to ob- t or in act to be recognized by the chair, 1 would have him remain in con- tempt until the house saw fit by vote to re move his disability.

The members who went voluntarily contempt would be then under the control of the house, which could remove the disability when' and in whatever manner it saw fit.” Represent- ative Boatner will attempt to have his rule cons by the committee before it makes a report. Reed was a cent the house rule into or of attention as he His associates gathered about him congratulated him on the action of the democratic house towar counting a quorum. It was regarded as sonal vietory for Mr. Reed, Democrats joined in the good-natured congratulations, Cockran remarking that Mr. Reed was no longer the original czar, as the demo- crats had decided to be c Mr. Reed conferred with Messrs. Dingley, Burrows, Cannon and other republican leaders as to the course to be adopted when the new rule was brought in. ~He would authorize no statement of what would be done. In his talks with members, however, It was made clear that Mr. Reed would lead the minority in the acceptance of any rule recognizing the substantial principle of counting a_quorum which he enforced_in the Fifty-first congress. To a friend Mr. tecd remarked that it was hardly wise to announce a policy and thus place your rds face up on the desk. It has been le clear, however, that the only thing Reed will contend for s a rule free from ambiguity and which will accomplish the end as well as recognize the pringple for which he has so long contended.Repre- sentative Dingley of Maine talked witn Mr. Reed and with many of the republican members as to the prospective course of action. Mr. Dingley would not outline any exact policy, but he gave his personal ws, which reflect the general feeling among republicans, “While I am not authorized to state what course will be adopted, it seems evi- dent that no opposition will' be made to a rule which clearly recognizes the principls that an actual visible quorum can be counted to do business. A rule of that nature would be such a vindication and en- dorsement of the rule enforced by Mr. Reed in the Iifty-first congress that there would be every reason why we should accept It with satisfaction. Nor is it likely that questions would be rafsed against un- :ntial details so long as the substance of the parliamentary principle for which we have contended is recognized.” iy BECOMES STRANGER EVERY DAY, In the Light of Evidsnce, Why Was Mrs. Guillemott Discharged.

The McKinley bill was designed as an exemplification of the republican idea of what fostering encouragement was due to American capital and American labor. It was not perfect, nor considered by its authors to be perfect. “No one in this chamber can be deceived by this mongrel measure. In its original form the bill came from the inner shrine of the democratle party. It was the emanation of its deity and too sacred to be defiled by earnest opposition. In the other branch of congress it received the votes of mauy who during its discussion had protested most vociferously against its destructive effect upon their constituencies. The same super- stitious devotion may ultimately be wit- nessed in this body. The fetich comes before us from the committee on finance in strange form, bearing amendments, the insertion of which defies reasonable explanation, and which cannot be twisted into symmetry with the original. They will probably disappear in the committee of conference, if a confer- ence Is reached, as mysteriously as they ap- peared in the committec on finance. “Should the pending measure become a law a grave monetary problem will immedi ately confront the American people. We may, with occasional distress, accept the money standard. But a forelgn commercial policy cannot be appended to a foreign finan- cial policy withont practical sacrifice of our autonomy and a return to a colonial depend- upon Great Britain. he contemplation of such a probability leads to the suggestion of bimetal But bimetallism would not meet the monetary exigency which would confront the country upon an abolition of the customs tariff. Bimetallism can be sustained by no one nation. It is only possible by agreement between all the leading governments of the world in armed convention. If protection by customs must fall I apprehend that silver mononetallism in the new world is neces- sarily precedent to bimetallism in the old world. “That would be an ideal solution of this great question, which would inaugurate an era of peace and herald the return of pro- longed prosperity. But, instead of thus putting an_end to these internecine raids upon the domestic industries which, with intervals closely associated with political changes, have cost this country more than all the military wars for which every generation since the revolution has pald so dearly, wo now see ihe party which is in full control of the legislative and exccutive branches of the government threaten the country with a measure which has been ribed as sectional, partisan, biundering, riminating and unjust. The inevitable result is the paralysis of business, the halt- ing of trade, the suspension of purchases, the stoppage of production, the deprivation to thousands of the usual methods of liveli- hood and the incredible shrinkage of values. “There never has been a tariff law en- acted that was not preceded by more or less confusion in the delicate and complicated machinery of domestic production, internal trade and foreign exchange. If this be true when the tariff is revised by friends of American industry and the customs schedules are adjusted in accordance with an cstablished principle and in harmony with a well defined system of collecting revenue, §0 as to protect American enterprise and labor from foreign pauper competition, how nuch more cnormous do these evil results become when the tariff is to be disturbed, not in the interest of domestic but of forelgn industries, not with the welfare of | the whole common country in view, but for { the benefit of a section, not with the pur- pose of providing revenue in accordance with an Intelligent plan perfected by years of | experience and familiar in its general prin- | ciples to all the people, but in a fashion | which at one stage of the proposed leg | lation offers an increased deficiency to an already depleted treasury, and at another stage involves a surplus derived in part from a breakfast table, and in greater part from the offensive inquisition into the pri- vate fortunes of individuals and an inequit- able discouragement to that thrift which lies at the basis of both national character and national wealth, Mr. Quay continued by reviewing at length the history of teriff legislation in the country, showing the effects of high tarifis and low tarMfts in the industries of the country. He spoke with emphasis and apparent earnest- ness of the ruin which the passage of the Wilson bill would bring to the industries of his state. During the afternoon Senator Hill duced some amendments to the rules and Senator Peffer offered a resolution glving Coxey's army a hearing. A short time be- fore Senmator Quay closed the Assoclated press bulletin glving the ict in_the Pol- lard-Breckinridge case was passed around among the senators and made the topic of conversation when the doors were closed and the senate shut itself from the view and ) the public. 30 the senate adjourned. senate intro- WESTERN PENSIONS, Veterans of the Late War Kemens the General Governms WASHINGTON, April M.—(8pe Bee.) wnted, ssue wert Nebra Original Ytced, Omaha, Douglas; Solomon A Central City, Merrick.

J. Curtis as pastor. This first born upon Nebraska soil set to work with the following able officers: Patrick 0'Tool, president; Barney Doran, vice president; Dominic Cogan, recording retary; Peter Dowdell, financial sccretary; Barney Shan- non, treasurer, and R. O'Keeffe, state dele- te, an office which the latter filled for twelve vears with credit and ability that proved a great advantage to the order. He is at present serving as state treasurer for the insuranc He was assisted in spread- ing the growth of the order throughout the state by the very efficient efforts of Charles Hagerty of Lincoln, who served many years as state secretary, and to whom the order owes more than fo any other man in the state for the great acquisition added in the shape of insuranc: homas McShane of Lincoln was elected state delegate in June, 1890, and his history as a state officer reflects great credit upon the man and speaks volumes for the organi- zation that can place such an able officer at its head. McShane was succecded by the present encumbent, J. A. Kilroy of Lincoln, who is making a very flattering record for himself as a state officer. He is also a strong supporter of the insurance added by the state convention in Hastings, June 4, 1 It was not long after the Omaha division was organized until the following cities each organized a division: Colum- bus, Plattsmouth, Greeley, Lincoln and Hast- ings. The first state convention was held in Omaha in June, 1879, in Clark’s hall, Fourteenth and Dodge stroets. The Hibernians of this state were repres sented for the first time through their stato delegate at the national convention held in Cincinnati in May, 1879, by their newly clected state delegate, Hon. R. O'Keeffe. At the state convention in June, 1890, held in South Omaha, the following counties’ were represcnted: s, three divisions; Lan- caster, one recley Johnson, one; Adams, one s, one; Red Willow, one; which ~gave nine divisions in seven counties. The next state convention, which is to meet in Tecumseh June 12, will be rep- resented by twenty counties and by thirty divisions, which shows a very flattering growth of the order in this state. Since the addition of an insurance to the order at the last state convention in H: ings it has increased in numbers with a rapidity that even surprised Its most san- guine members, and which confirms the opinion advanced by those advacating the necessity of a state insurance in the order. Sin the announcement that the next na- tional convention will take place in Omaha every effort is being m by the stat county and diy ers in Nebraska to entertain in_the most hospitable manner the visiting delogates whom we will proudly welcome beyond the Missouri to the at metropolis of the evcr fertile plains of braska, The members of the Omaha divisions fully appreciate the great task they have in pre- paring for the national convention next month, which is to be opened May 9, with a state parade at 1 p. 1 To judge from pre be visited by division panies from our sister make the state parade one torical features of Omaha W.
