VOORBEES' GREATEST FLOP.

Once More He is in the Ranks of the Protective Tariffs Advocates.

HIS SPEECH IN THE SENATE IN FAVOR OF THE COAL DUTY

He and Mr. Vest at a Disagreement—The Senator's Fight With Governor Gray.

The debate closed with the funniest of all the funny panares which had characterized it. This was nothing leas than a flat contradiction as to what the ^"Mills bill really meant. It was kept up until others were drawn in,* and the question became so befogged that the

Democratic senators discreetly dropped u-Jt. Mr. Voorheee—Mr. President, I think that I am a party man in goed standing.

I have been under the impression that I passed through the last campaign upholding the Democratic platform, Democratic principles and the Democratic flag. I was under the impression, and 'atill am, that the organized expression of the Democratic party is strong enough Ho withstand the dissent of even so distinguished and eloquent a gentleman as the senator from Missouri.

As a member of the St. Louis oonvention, I heard what is known as the Mills bill on this subject indorsed in specisl terms. That bill contained a PSM***0?

levying a duty of 75 cent***"®' o®,coal. 7 oame int/1 •asnaliMunomdfF afro proposition here to utterly overthrow what we declared at St.

Louis

and what we told the pfeople of Indiana was correct, by putting coal on the free list.

In order to show that the people believed we were in earnest when we presetted the Mills bill, I desire to Bay that in the

mining

regions of Indiana it was

well accepted. I live in that part of the state of Indiana whicb.embracee 6^00 square miles of the best coal in the world. Literally, I repeat my words, the best coal in the world is there. Long trains of cars are hauling ore from the iron mountains of Missouri this day and putting it down at Terra Haute and out at Brazil, sixteen miles beyond, and making iron out of it for $4 or $ST less on the ton that can be done at Pittsburg, because of the quality of the coal we have there. We nave ooal that needs no charcoal, no coking. It is the finest block coal there is on the globe. There are but two other places where it

In that region, in the county of Clay, there were at least 2,500 miners. Some of them were employed by .•men un*-: scrupulous and abominable in their "methods,. Their em pluyers W-eoeae I»K- WBMT ckrk# Jni

atancgashut dowja the miHs in- osdsrto turn off their hands in large numbers, and then hired back only those who would vote the Republican ticket, leaving the Democratic employes to shift Tor themselves and do as well as they was could, But, with all these discouragements, Clay county did bettor for the

Democratic party, considering everything, than any other county in the -v state of Indiana, with possibly the exception of Marion, where the president-elect -himself livep.

I say, therefore, that this measure, indorsed at St. Louis, brought forward by the Democratic party, canvassed for on every stump, commended itself to the laboring men themselves. For my part, I huve received no instruction since from any authorized source to compel me to unsay what I Baid in a long and arduous canvass of my state, and to unsay what the Democratic party through its delegated wisdom at St. Louis said in the moat solemn terms. Others can do as they choose.

Mr. Veet—Will my friend permit me to interrupt him? He is not under the impression, I suppose, that the Mills bill made any declaration on the subject of coal. jti Mr. Voorhees—Yes, I am. Ifs Mr. Vest—No it says nothiDg about & it. There is not a word in the Mills bill s, --v- ou the subject.

Mr.sFaulkner (West Virginia Democrat)—I ask the senator from Missouri whether it did not leave the duty on coal at 75 cents a ton, as it was at that time?

Mr. Voorhees—-That is the point. Mr. Faulkner—That was eqnivalent to sustaining that duty on coal.

Mr. Vest—I do not want the senator from Indiana to say that the Mills bill made any declaration on the subject.

Mr. Voorhees—I will not say that the Benatorfrom Missouri pettifogged on that point. I have too high and sincere a regard tor him but certainly he well knows that when the existing law was 75 cents a ton and there was no proposition in the Mills bill, whioh was a re: formatory meaaure, to change it, it was the same as asserting it in so many words.

Mr. Vest—I did not say anothing about the legal effect of it. It was the expression of the senator from Indiana which brought me to my feet. I understood him to say and emplatically declare that the Mills bill put a duty of 75 cents a ton on coal.

Mr. Voorhees- -It could not have declared so any more emphatically than by letting it stand.

Mr. Vest—There was no affirmative declaration at all. Mr. Voorhees—There could not have been a more affirmative declaration than by letting it alone as it was. This is all I desire to say in explanation of my own vote.

Mr. Hiecock—I desire to call the attention of the senator from West Virginia and the senator from Indiana to the fact that the Mills bill, when inloraed by the Democratic party at St. uis, carried bituminous ooal on the free list,

Mr. Vest—No, I think the senator is mistaken. Mr. Hiscock—No, I am not mistaken.

Mr. Faulkner—I do not like to question the senator's statement, but I had that investigated by an officer in the treasury, and on looking at the very question he suggests his decision was that it did not put it on the free list

Mr. Hisoock—I think if the senator will examine the bill as it stood at that time he will find that he is mistaken.

So the debate ended. Mr. Vest's free coal proposition received the votes of eleven Democratic senatens: Berry. Cockrall, Coke, Colquit, Gray, Hampton,

THE TE

Jones, of Arkansas, Reagan, Vance, Vest and Walthal, and no more.

THB SENATORIAL CONTEST.

The r»r*n I* tlMCMBMch jndlai»»poU» ^Broken Opaa. The following from yesterday's Indianapolis Journal is of unusual interest here:

Grimes, of Vigo, who is after the seat held by Senator Biohowaky, Republican, aad Scott Ray. who had a contest against Senator Carpenter, in good shape ocmaidering the Democratic majority that stops at nothing, are understood to be Voorheee men. It is time, some think, for Governor Gray to read the riot act to Ray, whose candidacy was pushed in the governor's interest. Bat Bince the contest began the Shelby county .friend of convict Coy, who virtually edited Ray's paper during the conspiracy trials, has become an ardent supporter of Voorheee, and a close friend of John E. Lamb. He deserted Gray for the Terra Haute crowd, it is understood, in order to secure for his contest the support it would not otherwise obtain. So if Ray and Grimes are seated, and of that there is but little doubt, for a Democratic senator has neither wit, reason nor justice when a United States senatorial election is in view, it will be to hold over and vote for Voorhees.

Papers in both contests are in the hands of the senate, these in the GrimeeBichowsky case coming to the secretary of state's office yesterday by mail, but the package looked as if it had been put through' a sausage grinder. It was delivered by a letter earner, with the seal broken and wrapper torn from one end to the other, to Deputy Secretary, of. State Young. He declined to receive it, and went away huffy. ehbrt time JameaS. Deery, a good' Democrat, and superintendent 01 carriers^ called on Mr. Young and wanted to know why he would not reoeive the packages. He^aaid it waajdl right, and. that the wrapper had been torn that the contents ooalcPbe officially examined to see if the postage of the proper clacs had been paid on It. There was postage due marked on the wrapper, apd that had been done at Terra Haute, where the package was mailed. The Democratic senators, and especially J„G. MoNutt, Grimes' attorney. Had tar this time become anxious. MoNutt told the secretary of state that he saw the package at the postoffioe, and paid the postage due, so it was all right. Bat .the secretary would not reoeive the papers until he got the followingreoeipt: gniii CStwnwi, January 11,1888.

Beeetvedof Charles F. Grlffla, •eewtarr of itate, one package aspen In eonteated election ease eotlUedGriniesYi. Mebowrtjvupan which seal had been broken and one alda or covering torn_open. 3. F. Cox, President Pro Tem.

The package is.now. in the hands of the man who-is- to prepare the report and move the seating of Grimes after the farce of a contest isv to .be gone through by a committee appointed by the Democratic senators. [The true 'story is this: The package was duly mailed-at thiaoffioe, but wa Bhor&of poatage,o Wiag to' the ioabilit

gat-moi* than one dollar's worth of stamps, leaving 91.40 due. The package waa to go as first-class matter, the twine knots being sealed, and the postoffioe clerk here marked on it, "postage due." Clerk Warren also sent a postal card to Secretary of State Griffin, notifying him of these facts. Being first-class matter and part of the postage paid, the Indi-.. anapolis ofiice, under the law, had no discretion in the matter. A discovery of the contents was not necessary, because being mailed as first-class, there was no question of the class in which it was mailed there could not, possibly, have been any fraud by mailing one class of matter at a rate leSB than should be paid. It is a clear case of either partisan suspicion or over officiousness in the Indianapolis office.]

Gray's Artful Tricks..

There is information^from Indianapolis that Governor Gray is not in sympathy with the Vigo and Shelby senatorial contests, raised in behalf of Senator Voorhees' defeated friends who were candidates. No election committee has as yet been appointed but it is understood that these contests will not be considered until two years hence, when Mr. Gray will determine whether it is advisable for his friends, who are in the majority in the senate now, and who likely will be there,.togive two Voorhees men a vote in the joint Democratic caucus to select a United States senator.

A CALCUTTA 8NAKEBY. •./

the Peculiar Amuaementa of tha King of Oude.

The late king of Oude had built a snakery in the gardens of hio palace, at Garden Beach, near Calcutta. It was an oblong pit, about 30 feet long by 20 feet broad, the walls being about 12 feet high and perfectly smooth, so that a snake could not crawl up. In the center of the pit there was a large block of rough masonry perforated so that it was aB full of holes as a sponge. In this honeycombed block the Snakes dwelt, and when the sun shone brightly they came out to bask or to feed.

His majesty used to have live frogs putin the pit, and amuse himself by seeing the hungry snakes catch the frogs. When a large 'snake oatahee a sihall frog it is all over in an instant, but if a small snake catches a large frog, so that he cannot swallow it at once, the frog's cries are piteous to hear. Again and again I have heard them while out shooting, and have gone to the bush or tuft of grass from which the piteous cfies oame—sometimes in time, sometimes too late to save the poor froggy, tnough the snake generally got shot. As a final story let me tell how a frog has been seen to turn the tables on the snake.

Two gentlemen in Cachar some yeara ago saw a snake seize a small frog and attempt to swallow it. But suddenly a large frog jumped forward, seized the snake's tail, and began to swallow the snake. How the affair might hffve ended cannot be told, because my friends imprudently draw near to watch the combat, when the frogs and snake took alarm, and the big frog disgorged the snake's tail, and the snake released the little frog, and they all scuffled off. But the tale is perfectly true, and both the gentlemen who saw it are still alive and I only regret that it was not my good luck to see the affair with my own eyes.

LONDON. January 12.—The rumor that the government will appoint a successor to Lord Sackville aa minister to the United States after the inauguration of General Harrison is confirmed.

Soutn nad faiiea, and infact the Republican organizatian in Virginia was abandoned'till 1879, Wm. Mahone led the liberal movement, whereby over fifty thousand ex-Confederates and their sons united with the faithful band of Republicana atill existing,and, for the first and only time ainoe the war, broke the Solid South for four year*, restoring free suffrage to the people of Virginia, abolishing the whipping post law, reatoring the free school system and more than doubling its efficiency, supporting the charitable inatitutions of the state, and taking from th% jails the lunitics, placing them in these institutions, building an asylum for the colored insane, and a oollegiate insli tute for the colored youtha and increasinfethe Republican representation in rfongrees from two to six members and elector two United States senators. Colonel Craig urged, that when in 1881 the momentous responsibility was placed upon General Mahone in the United Statee senate, he had the courage in spite of Democratic anathemas to save that body to the Republican party of the nation that General Mahone was the only prominent man South who dared lead such a movement that he now has a party at his back eager and confident of success and that his record is without a parallel politically in the United States where in so short a time he was followed from one party to another by 75,000 men, such leadership alone, said the eloquent speaker, can break the solid South that as in the North the sentiment of the federal aoldiery controls political opinion, ao does the sentiment of the ex-confed-erate aoldiery control it in the South, and what the South needs is a Mahone in every Southern State. As to the opposition against General Mahone in Virginia, it practically amounted to noth-. ing that since the last national oonven: tion recognized the regular Republican organization of theetato, the moat prom: inent leaders at-the oppoeition submitted thereto and were now working in ac

cord

with the present organization that the remnant left only existed by reason of the prominence given them by the Democratic press and by the shadow of encouragement given them by some Northern Republicans who do not understand the aituation in Virginia- Colonel Craig ooncluded with the statement that at wast ninety-nine out of every 100 Republicana in old Virginia wanted to see General Mahone in the next cabinet.

Dr. Webb then presented the. memorium of the Republican tnembereelect of the Virginia legislature. His remarks covered much the same ground aa Colonel Craig's.

General Harrison was an attentive liatener to all that waa said, and after cordially welcoming the visitors to his home, and expressing his pleasure at meeting them, he briefly stated, in substance, that the matter praaented ahOuld reoeive hia careful consideration.

It cannot be learned from any of the visitors that the president-elect dropped a single word of any aigniflcaaoe as bearing upon the object of their vbit.

Captain Asa Rogers, Colonel DeClav, Meaars. Lurty and McCanI also made brief but earnest talks for General, Mahone. Mr. Lurty is a oousin of Stonewall Jackson, and was in the confederate army from the firat month of the war until ita cloaa. He waa among the first confederatea to oome over to the Republican party. The Viiginians ex pressed theimaslves aa greatly ploaasd with their visit, and especially their cordial reception bjr .Gerifea! Harrison. They left for home by the eveaing train.

Great&jia oonlliats in otir ability to tell the truth. Let US quit arink as the Irishman did, "before he began."

If we would be is oourteoua to our family as we are to strangers, what a home We would have.

Ifainanwould be just as chatty to his own wife as he is to some other man's wife, my! how pretty she would grow.

It is the kind word, the patient touch, the- affectionate look, that ia making unfading pSncil pictures on the gallery of life.

It ia the little things, the little kind nesees that help ue. We have gotten away from the innocence and simplicity of the gospel.

Ilia Grand Jury's Work in Invytifaiing the Caaa* Against the Gamblers. ...

THE INDICTMENT I RETURNED AGAINST FASIG.

Twelve More Returned, Which are Supposed to Reach The Other Pieces:

^wdve indictments but they had not HjgM thHhgh~ the ebttrifTs hands and were doonted to beaeoret papers, fortbe tioia Wihg. T%e intereet ooati&aea.to grow in the cares that have been returned The fact mat the court-fixed the bond, in each caae, atjGO haa been a aource of discouragem«kBt to so^a lro are oppoeed to gambling houses, because a small Bond seems to thsm to forebode alight penalty. The amount of the bond ia filed by the court and the severity of the penalty is determined by trim, so that they need not be very intimately connected. The prosecutor expects difficulty in securing the extreme penalty of the law because the gamblers stand together so well. Dan

Fasig. Thomas H. Godsey and T. W. Werkeiser were indicted for keeping gaming houses. The penalty for thia offense is a fine of not more than 1500, nor less than $10. Godsey was also indicted for keeping gaming devices, for which the penalty is a fine of not more than $100, nor less than $25, to which may be added imprisonment in the county jail not more than six months nor lsaa than thirty daya. Joe Russell, wss indicted ss oommon gambler. A common gambler ia defined by the lawB of this state as one who goes about from place to place to gaipble or whoearna a livelihood at gambling. Tbe penalty for auch a culprit ia a fine of notmore than $100 nor lees than $5, to which may be added imprisonment' in the county jail tor not more than three montha nor less than ten daya It ira recognized fact that the gamblers would not heed the fine imposed so much as they would the im-

risOhment. It is also thought many that since the object of penaltiee in the law is to punish transgressors of the law, that penalty should be visited upon habitual and willful transgressors (such aa gamblers are) that would be the least acceptable to them. Such would also seem to be the greatest justice to tha law-abiding citizena. If not, it would seem that transgressors of the law could select their own punishment, and thus encourage transgression. The most severe penalty of the law ia for bunko-steering. One attorney aaid that he did not think there was any doubt bat that bunko-steering is practiced every day in the gambling dens about the city. A bunko^steerer-isjone who in any way induces or pursuades another to any place upon any pretense and by duress or fraud causes such person to win or lose money or anything of value. Bunko-steering would be more difficult to prove than the minor offense" known to the gambling laws but one conviction for this offense would_ be worth ton convidtions for a minor indictment. There i&but little, if any doubt, that the gamblers here are frequently guilty of bunko steering, but, of course, it would be difficult to prove_ that the dealer "fixed" the cards. Yet if the grand jury should continue in the work they have begun they will find that they will get nearer to the vital part of the gambler's life and can make the surroundings very unpleasant for disciples of the cloth.

LINCOLN, Neb., January 12.—An antitrust bill has been introduced in the houae. It is a bill for au act to declare unlawful combinations in restraint of trade productions, manufactures, to punish persons, sssociations and corporations engaged therein, and to repeal an act already in force that has failed to reach the desired results in the last two yeara.

Wall Street Story.

NEW YORK, January 12.—The Times says: Wall street has it that Charles Francis Adams is to resign the presidency of the Union Pacific railway company. The same story has been heard in Wall street many times of late but never credited. Now their are reasons for believing it. It is declared that Mr. Adams will leave the Union Pacific to the post of chairman of the newly organized Inter-state railway association. That office will not be lacking in dignity or coneequence.

Jem Smith on Jackson*

Fox, relating to the challenge of Jem Smith to fight Peter Jackson, the Australian champion, for £1,000, says that Jackson places himself in the hands of the California athletic club, and will meet any jn in the world, but nowhere else than in the rooms of the club.
