THE CONGRESS THAT FAILE Benator Platt Takes All the Oredit for the Republican Party, BLOCKED EVERYTHING THAT CAME ALONG fle Tells How the G. O, P. Succecdod in FPreventing Intqoitouns Democratio Legh Jation--His Hopes for Good Laws Go Forward to 'Ninety-Seven. WASHINGTON, March §.—Senator Platt of Convecticut fs one of the senators who ®till remain fn the city, He is kept here by the necessity of stralghtening out some of the affairs which he was compelled to in & measure neglect on account of the pressure of public business, which occupled o much of his time during the last session. This was because he was one of the republicans upon whom devolved the responsibility of preventing general legislation in accordance with the declsion reached Ly the republican senators at an early day in the scssion This task fell largely to Messrs, Platt, Aldrich and Chandler and how they suc coeded has been indicated from day to day in the reports of the proceedings. Being asked for the reason of the repub- licans for pursuing this policy, Mr. Platt & “Disclaiming any right to speak for the republican party, many republicans felt that 1o good could come from any legislation which the democrats might attempt with reforence to public matters. To consent to any tarift legislation was to further imperil the industries of the eountry, and other measures which they were determined to pass were very objectionable from the stand- point of the public Interest. The republicans, therefore, determined that as In their judg- ment there would be no wise legislation there should be as little legislation as possible on important subjects. Those who did not be- Neve in the free coinage of silver were ready at all times to aid in the passago of any safe and wise financial measure which might be brought forward by the majority, but aside from this, their policy has been that of pre- venting bad legislation, and I think it has been pretty successfully accomplished.” “But it Is urged that you proposed noth- tng.” was suggested. “It was mot,” he replied, “the time any- thing was to be gained by proposing legisla- tion, for with a democratic majority In con- gress and a democratic president, nothing the republicans might propose would be adopted. 80 the sesslon has been necessarily devoted to routine and local business and to the passage of appropriation bill Asked as to how the work was accom- plished of pushing all appropriation bills through and preventing other general legisla- tion, ha said: “Sometimes we have in the estimation of the public skated on thin ice as it were, making it doubtful whether ap- propriation bills could be passed and an extra session avolded. It is, perhaps, not too much to say, however, that although the re- publicans were in a decided minority in the &enate they were during the whole session in practical control of the order and conduct of busine He declined, however, to particularize on this_point. “The mext house will be republican,” he said, “but we shall not have a republican majority in the senate and there will be a democratic president. Much will doubtless be expected in the way of proposing legislation 1o relieve the distressed condition of the coun- try—I fear too much. We shall be almost as powerless for the promotion of action in the next congress as we have been in the present. Very little can be accomplished un- til after 1896, when we hope the republicans Wwill be in power in all branches of the gov- ernment. “If the measures, the consideration of Which has been checked, shall be brought forward in the next congress they will doubt- less come in a shapeless mass calculated to do mischief. The financial situation may improve. We hope for bimetalllsm and we also hope for improved business conditlons. If we should succeed in securing bimetallism that would settle the trouble and we would do much to diminish the friction which now prevails with reference to the silver ques- tion.” NOT MONEY ENOUGH TO GO AROUND Appropriation to Pay the Sugar Bounty Over a Milllon Short. ~ WASHINGTON, March 8.—The eecretary Of the treasury within the next few days Wwill begin the preparation of regulations under which the appropriation of $5,000,000 made by ths last congress as a bounty for sugar produced in 1894 will be made, The act provides that there shall be pald on cane and beet sugar produced in 1894 a bounty at the rate of elght-tenths of 1 cent per pound, and appropriates $5,000,000 for this purpose. The best data obtalnable, how- ever, indicates that the appropriation Is en- tirely too small, and that eomething Iike $6,120,000 would be necessary to liquidate all of the claims on a basis of eight-tenths of 1 cent per pound. Louisiana, it s said, produced about 700,000,000 pounds, Florida and Texas 20,000,000 pounds, and estimating the beet sugar production at 45,000,000 pounds, the same as the yield of 1893, gives a total of 765,000,000 pounds. In view of the probabla shortage, ‘Secretary Carlisle fias decided to pro rate the payments among all of the producers, according to their yield. This would give a payment of about .65 of a cent per pound, instead of .8 of a cent. Under this arrangement all claims will fare alike, and any scramble for precedence will be avoided, DIVIDING NAVAL MILITIA MONEY. Wil Be Apportioned in Proportion to the Number of Men Enlisted. WASHINGTON, March 8.—Secretary Her- ber has issued a special circular prescribing the manner of distribution of the appro- priation of $25,000 made by congress In the naval appropriation bill for the arming and equipping of the naval militia. Five hundred doliars of the total will be retained to pro- vide books of instruction for distribution nd the remainder of the appropriation will be allotted to the states having naval militia forces in proportion to the number of petty officers and enlisted men returned from the states. One-halt of the allotment due a state will be retained in cases where the naval militia Is now properly uniformed. Governors® of states are required to make their returns before the 16th of next April, cortifylng to the location of (he various divisions of the militia and the number of commissioned and warrant officers, petty offi- cers and enlisted men in the service on April 1. No person serving in the land militia or as bandsmen or as servant in the militia will be included In the return. BAIL WAS FIX D TOO HIGH, Captain Howgate Was Uuable te Put Up Thirty Thousand Doilars, WASHINGTON, March 8.—The attorney for Captain H. W. Howgate, who s at pres- ent in jail awalting trial on other indict- ments, appeared *before Judge McComas in the criminal court this morning and asked that the prisoner be released on bail. The attorney asked that bail be fixed at $1,000 The government, represented by District’ At- torney Birney, objected and asked that the Bail be fixed at $30,000, and the court so ordered. Captain Howgate, through his at- torney, stated that it would be impossible for him to secure $30,000 bail, and he there- fore was compelled to return to jail. Dis- trict Attorney Birney stated that he would try Captain Howgate on the other indict- ments as soon as possible. It is under- stood, however, that it will be impossible to bring the cases to trial before three months. month; Value of Varioas Stones for Roads.

WASHINGTON, March 8.—There was an unusaal attendance of spectators In the su- preme court of the United States today when the court convened. Mr. Guthrie resumed his argument for the appellants in the income tax cases. He took up the case where he left oft yesterday, discussing the bearing of the Fifth amendment of the constitution upon the cases and also referred to other constitu- tional provisions. Referring to the Fifth constitutional amend- ment, he sald its provision that no person should be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law had been made for the protection of the people against undue He contended that any law which would impose a tax on one class of peo- ple and not on another was in direct contra- diction of this amendment. He then returned to the discussion of the question of taxation of corporations In a different way from which individuals were taxed, and said this was the point of transcendent importance in the cases, msisting that the property of any cor- poration was the property of the individuals composing it. He asserted that if congress was permitted to discriminate against corporations as in the income tax law, they would virtually have the power to nullify the righte of states to create corporations. He closed with an appeal for a decision agalnst class legislation, and an ap- veal for equality in taxation. Mr. Seward followed, also speaking on be- half of the appellants. 'He argued agalnst the constitutionality of the income tax. He de voted himself to the discussion of the ques- tious as to whether the tax was a direct tax, and argued that if it was, it must, under th revision of the constitution, be apportioned according to population. Referring to the decision In the Springer case, upholding the war income tax, he said it was the result of a loyal effort to maintain a law enacted in the interest of the govern ment at a critical time, But now the cir- cumstances were quite different with the country enjoying peace. He felt that the Springer decision would not operate as a bar to the prosecution of his case In response to a question by Justice Gray, Mr. Seward sald there had never been a time in the history of the country that state taxes were designated as other dircct taxes. He asserted that an income tax had been levied in most of the colonies prior to the adoption of the constitution. The people had then regarded it as a direct tax, and when the words “direct tax” were adopted in the constitution they must necessarily have been glven the meaning attached to them among the people at large. Mr. Seward was dis- cussing the question of apportionment when Chief Justice Fuller interrupted with the question: ~““Suppose there should mot be a sufficient amount arising from the taxation of Incomes of over $1,000 to meet the requirements of a given state “It could be done,” replied Mr. Seward, “on the basis of population, which is the only thing to be apportioned to."” Assistant Attorney General Whitney then presented the outlines of the government case. He explained the difference between the two cases from New York and the ove arising in the District, saying that in the Moore case the effort Las been to secure an injunction against the collection of the tax, while in the other two cases the effort has been to cnjoin the payment of the tax; the first being an action agalnst the com- missioner of internal revenue and the two others agalnst trust companies, of which the appellants were stockholders. Mr. Moore, he said, a rich man, who possessed an income exceeding $200,000 a year, did not claim to have any property that could be reached as a lien for the collection of the tax. Mr. Moore had declared this law could not apply to an unconstitutional tax, but the court had held that an unconstitutional tax was still a tax. “How can congress make a law compelling a man to do a thing which the constitution says he cannot?’ asked Justice Field, but at the suggestion of Chief Justice Fuller that further discussion on the point was unnec- essary, Mr. Whitney did not attempt to reply and passed en to the Pollock case. He said the government had not considered it worth while to go back for centuries for a definition of the phrase “dircct tax,” and he devoted himself to the consideration of the origin of the phrase in the constitution and not to its use since. He said congress, in considering the present law before its en- actment, had discussed the question as to where the limit could be drawn so as to protect the poorer classes, and the figure of $4,000 had been agreed upon after a very thor- ough comparison of opinions. As to the dis- crimination against corporations, he con- tended the corporation’s income was neces- sarily different from that of individuals, and hence there must be a different basis for fix- ing the tax. Mr. Whitney had not concluded when the court, at 4 o'clock, adjourned until Monday at 12 o'clock, when, after Mr. Whitney con- cludes, ex-Senator Edmunds will be heard in the case, and he, in turn, will be followed by Attorney General Olney.

Government Will Drive Some Holer on the Great Sloux Reservation. WASHINGTON, March 8.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The officials of the Indian office are now occupied in preparing plans for artesian wells to be sunk for irigation purposes on the Sloux reservation. The Indian appro- priation act of last year authorized the sinking of wells in that section. Heretofore it has been the custom to advertise for bids for the work and have it done by individual contractors. It is now deemed wise for the government to do the work under the su- pervision of its several Indian agents. For prosecuting the work the government intends to purchase the necessary machinery and employ skilled labor. This plan is a new departure on the part of the government. It is expected that plans will materialize 0 that the actual work can be commenced by the 1st of April. A slight error has been found by the gen- eral land office in the reports of surveys, which were made of the Yankton reservation soon to be opened for settlement, and hence a short delay will be occasioned In the is- suance of the proclamation of the president. Work has so far progressad that the ad- vertisement for bids for supplies for Indian agencies and reservations throughout the country will be issued about the 1st of April next. Three weeks will be allowed to send bids, and at the expiration of that time they will'be opened. The first opening will be at Chicago, and two weeks afterward there will be another opening at New York City., Goods have always been delivered at the warehouses at Chicago and New York. Just before leav- in the city Congressman Mercer submitted a request to the Indian office that the goods supplied by Omaha contractors should be sent direct from that city to their final des- tination. If possible the plans will be o arranged that this request may be complied with. Mr. Mercer's intention was to effect a saving on the part of the Omaha con- tractors The Indian department today issued an order directing Frederick Treeon, Indlan agent at the Crow Creek agency, 8. D., to extend the license for one year of Henry Bradley as trader at that agency. STEWART AS CO-BESPONDENT, Divorce Case Brought by Charles Glasscock Agalnst His Wife Dismissed. WASHINGTON, March 8.—The suit for di- vorce brought by Charles Glasscock against Carrle Glasscock, his wife, in which Senator Stewart of Nevada was named as co-respond- ent, has been dismissed In the equity court here. Glasscock had charged Senator Stew- art_ with improper relations with Mrs. Glass- cock and the senator had denied the charge and claimed collusion between husband and wife for the purpose of blackmailing him.

WASHINGTON, March 8.—The majority of the speclal committee of the house appointed to Inquire into the causes of the prevailing agricultural depression has prepared a report in which it say “It is unnecessary for the committee to en- ter Into or dwell upon the fact that agri- culture {s depressed in every branch of this most {mportant industry, that the values of land, unless under exceptionally rare condi- tions, have depreciated steadily as the pur chasing power of the dollar has Increased. But while the values of the property owned | by the American farmers have decreased in | thirty years from nearly one-half of the total | wealth in 1860 to less than one-fourth in 1890, of which 30 per cent is now under taxes have steadily increased and debts now require four times the labor to be paid oft than was formerly required. The purchasing capacity of the dollar to secure tho farmer's land and his produce has in- creased fourfold, while the power to pay his taxes and debts has remained at a stand still. In 1873 wheat sold from $1.55 to a bushel (according to Spofford's almanac) in New York, in 1894 it sold at 50 cents.” Discusssing the causes ot tne depression the committee says: “flass legislation of the worst character encufnbers the statute books and hes been carried on to thé detriment of agriculture and its dependent industries for thirty years, culminating in the crime of the age, the demonetization of silver in 1873 “The demonetization of silver was a bold stroke in the interest of capital that has re- duced the value of every product in the world. This is conclusively proven by the fact that just as silver has depreciated, in like proportion have all other values fallen in the scale. Silver bullion today nas the power to purchase as much wheat, cotton, pork and corn and land, and every other commodity that it ever had, therefore the depreclation of the white metal simply means the deprecia- tion of every article under the sun with one singlo exception—the gold of Shylock. The tarill system of taxation is not only unequal, but as for the past thirty years ad- ministered in this country is most unjust to tho consumer, and has built up trusts, com- bines and gigantic corporations that have not only amassed immense wealth at the expense of the people but have assumed to control and direct leglslation so as to perpetuate their power and to gratify their groed. The tarift bears with undue weight upon the producer of agricultural staples, as it forces him not only to buy in the dearest market but to sell in open competition with the world's lowest prices. “Agricultural depression is still further augmented by the sale of futures on our stock exchanges, where the gran gamblers grow rich by farming the telegraph wires and sell. ing wind, while the honest and industrious tollers on the prairles reap the whirlwind. Food adulterations add millions annually to the farmer’s losses and compel him to meet in competition the thief. To these might be added other causes, but the principal ones to which agricultural depression and stagnation in trade is due have been cited. “The remedy lies In remedial legislation, and until that Is secured relief will not come per- manently.” To secure relief the committee suggests: 1. That silver should be remonetized at the ratio of 16 to 1. 2. That so long as the present unjust and unequal system of protection continues agri- cultura should receive is just proportion, and as this cannot be secured by a protective tariff, that a bounty on exported agricultural staples should be allowed similar to that on fish in 1813, and for which John C. Calhoun voted. 3. That gambling in futures should be pre- vented by law. 4. That a national pure food law should be enacted. A minority report is being prepared.

WASHINGTON, Makel 8 —Chairman Say- ers of the house apprupriations committee has made a statement of the appropriations of the last congress.--He presented In the statement tables showing appropriations of three congresses as follows: Fifty-first, $1 035,580,100; Fifty-seéohd, $1,027,104 Fifty-third, $990,338,691. Mr. Sayres says: “The appropriations made by the Fifty-third congress, Including permanent appropriations, show a reduction of $36, 856 under the appropriations made by the Fifty-second congress and $45,341,418 under those made by the Fifty-fiest con- gress.'"” . making a comparison with last that there is a net increase The new public_buildings authorized, Including the ooe in Chicago to cost $4,000,000, will not exceed cost 660,000 beyond the sums appropriated there- for, while the Fifty-first congress left to its successors more than $8,000,000 to be ap- propriated for public buildings which it authorized. The salaried list of the govern- ment has been reduced by this congress more than 600 persons with annual compen- sation amounting to quite §750,000. Representative Henderson of lowa, the ranking republican member of the house com- mittee on appropriations, makes a critical statement of the appropriations of the last congress from a somewhat different stand- point from that of his junior associate, Mr. Cannon. It summarizes the total appropria- tions at $990,338,691, but with authorized contracts, increase of the interest charge by the sale of bonds and assured deficiencles he brings the total up to $1,019,018,055, which, he says, is far in oxcess of the so- called “billion dollar congress.” The state- ment_proceeds: “In addition to all of this the Fifty-Third congress has fncreased the navy forces 1,000 enlisted men and added 313 officers and employes to carry out the inter- nal revenue provision of the Wilson tarift bill.” As to the decrease of pensions appropria- tions by $20,305,460 the statement says: “Her here the present administration and the Fifty-Third congress have been su cessful in paying some attention to the re- duction of our revenues and the terrible straitened condition of the federal trea ury. Everything else has been generously vided for, swelling the appropriations, giv- ing liberal contracts extending into the fu- ture, making appropriations immediately avallable, but when it comes to pensions, a reduction is made of $20,000,000, made possi- ble by an oppressive system carried on by this administration, which has brought a relgn of terror into the ranks of the crip- pled soldiers of the unfon, their widows and children.” Speaking of the senate the statement says: “I cannot pass from the question of appropri- atlons without reference to the old song that wag so constantly sung in the house about the increase mado in appropriations ‘by a republican senate.’ The senate is no longer republican, but is absolutely in the hands of the democrats, and that body at this ses- sion of congress increased the house bills $19,000,000. 1 doubt it anything in the his- tory of the government has equaled the in- crease made by the senate at this session of congress.” The statement, In regard to foreign rela- tions, s “In the”midst of our distress, of the suspension of business, of the throwing of hundreds of thousands put of employment, of increasing the public debt, increasnig ap- propriations, running 'expénses far In excess of revenues, we have: been mortified beyond words for a description by a weak, cowardly, unamerican foreign policy, that has not failed to bring the blush of shame to the face of every true American citizen, whether re- publican or democrat.” Of the new tariff law the statement says: ““The Wilson tariff law has proved disastrous to every interest in this country. The his- tory of that legislation “is written on the tables of the poor and in all the homes of the people. e Mince pies are all the more delicious when made with Dr. Price's Baking Pow- der.

NORTH LOUP, Neb., March 8.—(Special.) —The committee of supervisors, which met Wednesday to confer with the bondsmen of ex-Treasurer Trout, was unable to to bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion on account of a disagreement as to the value of certain property which it is proposed to turn over to Valley county for poor farm purposes, and the last proposition of the bondsmen will be submitted to the full board at Its next meeting., As the shortage includes portions of the several funds it is thought questionable whether the Board of Supervisors can legally assume the functions of a board of arbitration in the matter, and an attempt will be made to get the opinion of the attorney general on the case before definite action is taken. —_—— FPeculiar Accident at Falls City.

Burke Collins, Tells of Her Gomplete Recovery from Nervous Debility by the Use of Gelery Compound. The London Graphic, in its recent sum- ming up of the half dozen successful novels of the year, includes with Du Maurier’s “Trilby,” Hall Caine's “Manxman,” Conan Doyle’s “Sherlock Holmes,” *“The Heavenly Twins,” and “Ships that Pass in the Night, Mrs. E. Burke Collins' “A Modern Heathen. Speaking of this last work of our distin guished southern author, the Graphic says: “What Geo. W. Cable’s writings are to the Creoles of New Orleans, Miss Murfree to the rough strata of humanity among the Tennessee mountains, and Gertrude Atherton to California, Mrs. E. Burke Collins are to the Acadians of the Louisiana Pine Lands. In her latest work Mrs. Collins has struck a new veln in literature, opening to the novel reading world a vision of the real life of the Acadians of the backwoods, among the wild scarcely known region of the bayous and swamps of Louisiana.” Besides her novels she contributes each week short stories, sketches, etc., to the prominent magizines and to a great variety of other publications. Although her writing has always been a la- bor of love, yet such incessant mental exer- tion, costantly harvesting the ideas of her brain without a single idle season or fallow time for rest and refreshment, could not fall to have its effect on the recuperative power of her nervous system. At one time she found herself tired out and -weak from such uninterrupted work; she became nervous and incapable of work; she even saw nervous prostration staring her in the face; the gen- eral tolng up that her system needed so bad- Iy she found in Paine's celery compound. Today she is perfectly well and strong again busy as ever with her brain and pen, and grateful to Paine’s celery compound for the timely help when fallure and trouble and despair seemed about to close around her and shut her oft from everything that was dear to her. She says: NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. 21, 1894. T wish to add my mite to the thousands of testimonials which you have received in re- gard to the efficacy of this wonderful com- pound.

When a person in that con- ditlon writes continually, living in the realm of fiction and romance, the effect upon the nervous system s lamentable, I was weak and debilitated, suffered from insomnia, and was irritable and nervous. Four bottles of Paine's celery compound gave me strength, Paine's quieted my nerves, and brought sleep to my pillow.
