August 1894 Mr. Cleveland was figuratively given a slap in the face when the senate adopted tbe resolution oft'ered by Murphy, of New York, declaring it to tie the sense of ihe senate that no furthei tariff legislation should he considered at thi» session, and that it was advisable to adjourn at the earliest possible moment, and the free traders of the house are accusing the democratic steering committee of the senate of hating buncoed them hy making promises concerning the pa-^age of the popgun farin' bills which the adoption of tIds resolution makes it impossible for them to carry out. All of the republicans present. IVIl'er. Kyle and Stuart, and the following democrats voted for the Mur- | ph\ resolution: Blanchard and < ulhry. j of Louisiana: Gibson and Gorman, ot j Maryland; Murphy, of New 'fork:! Itoarh, of North Ihikota, and Smith, of

New .Jersey.

Senator Sherman took the lloor afire the adoption of the Murphy resolution to make a few remarks, which he correctly characterized as "plaiiitalk.” lie told the democrats of their numerous blunders which included from fifty to one hundred important errors in the taritl bill, now in the hands of Mr. Cleveland, one of which—that for the free entry of alcohol used in the arts— would, if nneorreeted. cost the government from twenty to thirty millions of dollars in lost revenue annually. Be also had a sharp word or two to say about the unusual extent to which the encroachments of the executive upon the legislative branches of the government had been pushed during the present session ol congress, and in conclusion expressed Ids belief that the best thing to he done was to go home and await the verdict of the voters before further meddling with tbe taritf. To show that he was in earnest Mr. Sherman lias himself gone home not to return until the opening of tbe next session of congress. While it is generally regarded as certain that Mr. Cleveland is going to swallow his big dish of crow and allow tbe senate taritl' hill, which be so roundly abused in tbe Wilson letter, to become a law, either w ith or without his signature, there are men—prominent men. too—who believe that be is still in doubt, and that Ids present visit to Buzzard's Bay was not because of Ids illness, but because he could better hold secret conferences there with certain individuals than he could at the white house, and that those confere. ees will -ettle whether the hill shall he allowed to become a law or be vetoed. These men say further that Secretary Carlisle is fully committed to the senate bill and has been ever since be wrote its sugar schedule, and that ld> actions, in sending copies of the lull to all collectors of customs and otherwise preparing to execute tbe provisions of the new law, is merely a -hrewd move to allow the public .o suppose that the administration accepts the bill and thus to aid in coercing Mr. Cleveland into allowing it to become a law. Congress can do nothing more for lack of a quorum in both branches, but it will he kept in session until next Monday, unless Mr Cleveland acts upon the taritl bill before then, and it may even then have trouble to adjourn it some member takes a not ion to raise tlie p dnt of “no qiionmi'’ when the motion is made. However, it is probable that enough of the members might he got to return for the purpose of making a quorum to adjourn when it can he done without jeopardizing the

taritl' hill.

"Nothing hut the need of the ^S.ntMi a year w hich the position pays keeps Secretary Carlisle in the cabinet " This assertion was made hy a personal friend of Secretary Cat lisle's—a Kentuckian— and it is not surprising to those who know anything about the inside history ■ >f the administration. Mr. Carlisle has known for some time that the failure of t lie financial policy, or rather the entire lack of financial policy, of the administration Inis killed his political future and he feels doubly sore because he has not been allowed to he more than a clerk to Mr. C. He thinks that things would have been better had be been allowed to control afi'airs connected with his department, as he expected lie would lie When he left the senate, w here he could have remained as long as Kentucky could elect a democratic legislature, to enter the cabinet. He has been disposed to rebel for some time, and bis letter against tbe popgun tariff hills for which Mr Cleveland was largely responsible. barring the free sugar bill, w hich he did not want, was sent to Senator Harris without Mr. Cleveland’s knowledge, and with the special intention of blocking Mr. Cleveland’s efforts to help tbe Whitney coal syndicate, and the Carnegie iron ore syndicate, and at the same time to help the sugar trust, whieli may furnish a salary for Mr! Carlisle when he eventually has to leave the cabinet.

A great necessity like sugar, not manufactured here, is tariffed, and the trust gets rich. Great is democratic statesmanship! Says the New York Sun: Mr. S. O. Lee, whose initials correspond with the astronomical designation of the sun, writes to the Tribnie declaring that although the month of July, 1N!*4, was unusually hot, there is a record of a hotter July, that of 1825.

authority for saying what he did, he replied : ”1 did not intend to jflve the figures that one hundred millions of raw sugar had been imported. i stated that I had been in form»d that the sugar trust had imported about that amount, and I have even taeatd it stated that it was in excess of that. It has been put at 148,0(10 tons by gentlemen who profess to know.” If Mr. Wilson had possessed even the smallest acquaintance with the facts, be would have known that •t 100,000,000 is nearly the value oi an entire year’s importation of sugar into this country. If lie had known anything about sugar refining he would have known that 448,000 tons represents only about three months' consumption by the American Sugar Refining company alone, and would not, therefore, be an extraordinary provision. And if be knew the market price of sugar, be would know that it costs only about $60 per ton, making the total value of 448.000 tons less than $27,000,000, instead of the $100,000,000 and upward that he speaks

of.

This exhibition of ignorance by the chairman of the most important committee of the bouse of repre sentatives is as humiliating as it is surprising.

The Banner Times isn’t ac qiiainted with Mr. Thomas S. Pol lard, of Plainfield, but we believe be is a man of good sound sense .Mr. Pollard wrote tbe Indianapolis Sentinel a letter which read as follows : To the Editor-Sir: Your editorial in today’s Sentinel, which -ays the people always know where to look for Georgt \V. Cooper, was timely—tosay the Irnst, You bet, we know where to look for Cooper. You generally find him grovelling at the feet of some renegade republican, a- lie did in the Phlillficll postofflce ease, when he ignored Ihe wish of us dc'mocrats, expressed in public inerting', touppoint Robert Hiatt, tint, instead, let T. J. 1 harlton, a renegade republican, mold him a> he would a piece ol putty. As democrats we have no objection to renegades riding in the democratic wagon, tint we want true bin s to do tlie driving. Cooper is no good ; turn him down. We are forerd to vote for Overstreet this time. Just watch the returns from th s township’s seventy-two votes. Respectfully, Thomas 8. I’m.1.attn. Plainfield, Aug. 14. This was answered in a column by the Sentinel on Tuesday in which tlie paper greatly criticised Mr. Pollard's democracy by (tilling him “a miserable, God-forsaken worm of the dust” for saying he cannot support Cooper and asks where Mr. Pollard learned his democracy. Mr. Pollard is game, however, and answers the Sentinel as follows which will be interesting reading hereabouts: To the Editor—Sir: I am pleased to see that after so long a time, and no doubt after murh perplexity of what you call your hraiti, you have noticed the disfavor in which Cooper and other renegade republicans sire held by the democrats of the Fifth district, and 1 don’t wonder sit it making you sick and causing you to blush. If you haven't been going it blindlv the past two years, you are acquainted with tlie fsiet that 1 am not alone in my dissatisfaction with the democratic policy in appointing and continuing in office renegade republic m- front W. 9. Gresham down through Isaac P. Gritv; Spencer, the pension agent sit Indianapolis, to T. J. Charlton of the reform school. “To the victor belong the spoils” is democracy. But if we must have republicans in dllee for heaven’s ssike let us have decent ones and not renegades. Maybe you can convince the majority of democrats that it's all right to continue renegades at the helm, but I doubt it. I imbibed my democracy at my mother's breast in Virginia, probably before you were born, but would sooner today vote for a straightout republican than for apostates and renegades. Why did Cooper leave the republican party f Wasn’t it to be elected democratic mayor of Columbus, Ind.V Wasn't his democracy somewhat shaky and tainted with republicanism when he first went to congress and jumped, all spraddled out.on President Cleveland'r He has had trouble in more postottlces than Plainfield; in some he bad to take « ater. Taking this view of him I doubt his sincerity in the tarilt business and am anxious to try a genuine rciniblican until we can elect a genuine democrat. M ben you say Cooper is the choice of a convention you talk about something of which you are ignorant. 1 was here and know how the delegate from tile state farm was chosen. So do the rest of Hie Plainfield democrats. Holton, the postmaster here, sent invitations nut on the sly and called the meeting at his house. One farmer, knowing I was distr ct committeeman, brought an invitation lie bail received to me to know what it meant, and at Holton's home, on tbe sly, the state farm gang u| Dointed one of themselves as a delegate to nominate Cooper, and Holton, the postmaster, attended that same eouven-

tion.

Possibly you have heard how the convention that nominated Cooper was run ; possibly you read some of the democratic newspaper comments on it— well, I did. Postmaster Thompson of 1 ndianapolis was removed from office for attending the Minneapolis convention. We know you fellows in the swim look upon us poor devils as worms, but the worms turn. 1, for one, tint tired of being led to the slaughter by renegade republicans, and I am not alone. Respectfully, Thomas S. Pollard. Plainfiki.d, Aug. 21, 18U4. If the farmers of Putnam desire to import any diamonds free of dutv they are given that blessed right by the democratic taritf bill, but their wool market is taken away front them and given to a foreigner at the same time. Great is democracy and its care in seeing that the farmers’ diamonds do not suffer is quite a feat of taritf generalship.

The baseball games at Bainbridge resulted in the inglorious defeat of the Greencastle team. In fact, Greencastle wasn’t in it at all. Crawfordsvtlle backed out and the contest took on a three cornered aspect. Ladoga and Greencastle played before dinner and Greencastle drew a goose egg while Ladoga was piling up twentyfive runs. After dinner Bainbrtdge took a sky at Lodoga and made two scores while the Ladogaites were scoring twenty-four. There are a lot of fellows in Ladoga that divide their time between breathing, visiting the new railway station and playing ball and tlie team that runs up against them for a pudding always strikes a snag. They pulled off the Bainhridge twentylive without any trouble. In the meantime the Greencastle bovs sav “balloon.”

A week or so ago the Banner Times told a snake story which was copied far and wide in the state press. It proved popular and we therefore have another of the same sort. 7 here is an enterprising hen connected with the latter yarn. A I lady living near Indiana and Hanna | streets owned the hen and had noticed nothing peculiar with her output until recently. On an egg taken from the hen’s nest lately the ( lady found on the shell a miniature I snake imitation. It was perfect and was coiled on the small end of, the egg. The next day another egg similarly marked with a snake appeared in the nest. The onlv explanation is that several snakes have been killed in that neighbor-

hood lately.
