The four senators who have hurled defiance at their chief are shrewd men and know well their position. If the fight now on will permit the McKinley bill to stand, as it now looks it will, this gigantic tight between democrats will not be in vain.

The report of the superintendent of fire alarm system in this city shows that the total loss by fire in Greencastle during the past year to have been but .fBlilS.Bii, of which 12793.65 was paid back in insurance, making a net loss of but .$825 to the tax payers. This is indeed a wonderful showing, and one that will stand a test, we are confident, with that of any other city in the state. That the alarm system has been the cause of this low percentage of loss there is no doubt, but to make it even more efficient an additional box or two should be erected. The tire at the Episcopal church demonstrated that fact, as it was about as near to the engine house as to the nearest alarm box. We believe the tax-payers of the j city will make no objection to spend a hundred or two of dollars to further increase tin* efficiency of this, [one of the best features of our splendid fire protection system.

loud alarm was a necessity.

It now looks as if President Cleveland and Ids senate would get as belligerent as did Andrew Jackson and his famous senate of long years ago. The sensation is overshadowing Debs, who in turn knocked out C'cxey ns a passing show.

When the republicans had the tariff question to deal with, they framed and passed a law in a eon siderate and judicious way, and without any interruption of business or decrease of employment. In other words, they pursued an intelligent, consistent and straightforward course, and the result was advantageous to all classes of citizens.

WASHINGTON LETTER THE LATEST POLITICAL GOSSIP from the capital.

SECOND WEEK

OF-

Intere.llng lloings of Collgre.. and a IHsli of Spier Here and There a* Seen m our speetal Correspondent Notes, Kto. Washington. Julv ’i-I, 1891 Grover’s epistle to the free-traders still holds it own as the most absorbing subject of conversation now before the Washington public. Ii was bad taste and an outrageous assumption of authoritv for Mr. Cleveland to have written that letter, and it only aggravated the case when he compelled Mr. " ilson to read it as part of his speech on the floor of the house; but there is no denying that the letter has had, at least partially, the efleet it was intended to have. It has made it certain that the house will never agree to the senate amendments to the tariff hill, beeau-e. as Senator Hill significantly remarked, siieh an agreement would erely result in getting the bill vetoed. It has had another efleet, however, which it is certain was neither ex|M*cted nor intended by its writer. It lias wrought a sufficient number of democratic senators to control the senate, with the help of the solid republican vote, up to publicly declaring that they would refuse to vote to accept any conference report that puts upon (he free list any article upon which the senate amendments placed a duty. That is just tne way the thing stands at Ibis w riting. The iion-e will not accept the senate hill, and the senate will not accept the house hill. Now the only change that can take place must involve the surrender of either the house or the senate. It can he surmised. w ithout any great risk of making a mistake, that Mr. Cleveland will lie able to prevent any surrender on the part of the house, aii'l as the democratic senators who added the protection amendments to the hill did so because of pressure from the states they represent. it would seem that they might be counted upon to stand Arm even if they were not strengthened by their hatred of M r. <'leveland, not only because of the insulting manner in which he refers to them in his letter, hut also because of the manner in which he has tried to boss his party in congress—aye, and succeeded, too—from the day <>n which he became president. Slill. if there is a break in the lines of either side it is believed that it will he on the part of the senate. The republicans are playing the part of onlookers at the contest, but they are by no menus disinterested. On the contrary, they are so much interested that Senator Aldrich has asked all unpaired republican senators to be on hand and to remain within call until the tariff'is in some way disposed of. The republicans wish to accomplish one of two things—prevent any tariff'legislation, if that can Ire done; otherwise to aid in getting as many of the senate amendments as possible in the bill that finally gets through. Mr. Cleveland's alleged argument- in favor of the sugar trust and of the Whitney Nova Scotia coal syndicate, in which all the world knows the money of his closest personal and political friends is heavily Invested, have greatly weakened his position and added to the chances for non-action on the tariff'bill. Everybody knows that Mr. Cleveland’s friends put their money into that coal syndicate solely because he assured them that free coal was a certainty, and. although it is not absolutely known, there are excellent reasons for t ie belief that other friends of his have obtained options on certain Cuban iron mines upon assurances that iron ore was also to be free. Hid some democratic senators commit perjury w hen they swore that they had never purchased stock in the sugar tru-t? The direct charge has been made that they did, and the senate committee has reopened the investigation and is again taking testimony. ^It is keeping the testimony very dark,too, members of the committee claiming to lie afraid that its publication might result in preventing the committee obtaining important evidence. It is rumored that at least one witness has sworn to having seen a written order for the pin chase of sugar stock, which w as given by a democratic senator and is now in existence, and to have told the committee in whose possession it is. Hie gossip concerning this matter has been very much enlivened by the statement that certain parties who had been snuhlted by certain senatereproposed to ‘‘get even’’ by furnishing the evidence to make a case of perjury against one senator, in order that the whole business might be brought iutoeourt. There is little doubt in Washington that perjury has been committed, hut there is very much as to whether it will he proven. If written orders for the purchase of sugar stock are in existence it is more likely they will he used to control senatorial votes than that they will ,M ‘ 'I before the investigating > ommittee or in court. The house on Saturday passed by the necessary two-thirds vote the joint resolution providing for a constitutional amendment for the election of U. s. senators by direct vote of the people.

Died, at Mt. Auburn, near Cincinnati, July 17, 1894, Mrs. Mary < Wilber, in the sixty-seventh year of her age. She was the wife of the late Rev. Perlee B. Wilber, so long the strong capable president ol the old Wesleyan Female college on Vine street Cincinnati. Mrs. Wilber was a woman of rare personal attraction and great literary attainments. She was among the first of our land to advocate and labor for the higher education of women. She believed the perpetuity of our government depended upon it. Almost fifty years ago she founded the first literary society ol the west, called “The Lyceum," in the Wesleyan college. Mrs. T. C. Hammond, of our city, has | among her treasures the budge of Iter membership in that organiza lion. It is a piece of white satin ribbon, design, an open book.
