An Important Exception Boston Advertiser. Harper's Weekly says that ''it would be very dimcult for an honest Republican to show in what way Mr. Cleveland is a weaker candidate in 18S3 than in 1S31, except in the disappointment of bis reform course." ''His reform eourse" includes about all there has been to his administration, and It was urged as his specialty by tne professional reformers who supported him. Since it has admitted that the course of the administration has been a "disappointment" in this regard, it might be well for the Weekly to point out the particular in which it has been a success.

MATTERS AT THE CAPITAL

The House Passes Major Steele's Dill for a Soldiers' Home at Marion, Ind, A Spirited Passage in the Honse Between Scott and Dalzell The Coining Yoornees SideshowGeneral Washington News. SOLDIERS IIO ME FOB MARION. Congressman Steele Secures the Passage of a BUI Appropriating 0200.000. pecfa3 to tb Indlanaoolls Journal. Washington, May 16. Major Steele sur prised almost everybody in the House this morning by succeeding in calling up, by unani mous consent, his bill appropriating 1200.000 for establishing a National Soldiers' Home In Grant county and securing its passage, The success was due solely to Major Steele's popu larity and sagacity, as no other measure carry ing even half as large an appropriation has been passed through this House by unanimous con sent. The provisions of the measure require (irant county to furnish light and fuel natural gas free, which citizens there are perfectly will ing to da The committee on military affairs, whieh considered the bill, and of which Major Steele is a member, were very enthusiastic in favor of the measure. It was shown that the original cost of the home would be saved in two years by light and fuel. It was suggested in commit tee, and seriously considered, that it would be eeonomy to remove the boidiers' Home from Dayton to Indiana. There will be eonsiderable objection to tbe Steele bill in tbe Senate, that body having passed a bill to-day providing aid to btate homes for soldiers and sailors and their widows and orphans. It gives State homes $100 a year for each inmate cared for. The feeaate holds that State homes should be aided, and no more national homes established. THE FIFTIETH CONGRESS. Routine Business Id tbe Senate A N amber of Bills Tassed. Washington", May 16 After the morning business the Senate took up the Vest resolution providing for a select committee to examine the questions touching meat and meat products of the United States. After a long discussion by Senators Vest, McPherson, Cullom and Plumb the resolution was extended so as to make the investigation embrace the Trunk-line Associa tion, the Central Traffic Association and other agencies of transportation, and was then adopted. The Senate bill appropriating $500,000 for the commencement of a boat railway around tho obstructions of the Columbia river at tbe Dallea and Celilo falls was taken up and advocated by senators Mitchell and Dolph and (passed. The Senate then proceeded to pass bills on the cal endar as follows: Senate bill to amend the act for the immedi ate transportation of dutiable goods, extending Its operations to Duluth. Minn.: Senate bill to authorize tbe eonstruetlon of a railroad, wagon and foot passenger bridge across the Mississippi river at Clinton, la; Senate bill authorizing the Forest City & Watertowu railroad company to construct a bridge across the Missouri river at Forest City, Dak.; Senate bill to authorize the construction of a railroad. foot and wagon passenger bridge across the Missis sippi river at Muscatine, la.; House bill author izing the construction of a railroad bridge across the Red Kiver of the North by the North Dakota & Pacific railroad; Senate bill fixing compensation of inspectors of hulls and boilers in tbe district of Michigan and Superior at $1,500 a yean Senate bills granting right of way. through the r ort Kiley military reservation to the Chicago, Kansas & Western Railroad Company and to tbe Junction City & Fort Riley railroad; Senate bill increasing limit of cost of publio building at Sacramento, CaL, to $150,000, with u appropriation of $30,000 additional; House bill relating to Crimea against the Postoffice Department as to postal orders, second-class mail mat ter, postal cards, envelopes, etc.. with amendments; Senate bill for presentation of hedges to the officers and f men of tbe Greely relief expedition; Senate bill fixing pensions for the loss of one eye, or the sight thereof, at $16 a month,, I and proportionately for tbe loss ' of both eyss; Senate bill to authorize the leasing of tbo school and university lands in Wyoming; Senate bill allowing homes for disabled soldiers at the rate of $100 for each soldier and sailor maintained there, and appropriating $250,000 for that purpose; Senate bills to pay various claimants for cotton taken by General Burnside to strengthen military works at Knoxville, Tenn.; Senate bill to confer brevet promotion of army officers particularly distinguished by heroic action in Indian warfare. Having passed thirty-eight bills, the Senate proceed to executive session, and .soon adjourned. The Tariff Debate In the Houie. Washington, May 1C The House met this morning at 10 o'clock. On motion of Mr. Steele, of Indiana, a bill was passed appropriating $200,000 for a branch home for volunteer disabled soldiers in Grant county, Indiana. The House then went into committee of the whole Mr. Springer, of Illinois, in the chairon the tariff bilL . Speeches were made by Messrs. Baker, of New York; Bound, of Pennsylvania; Bayne, of Pennsylvania; Laird, Weaver, McRae, Ryan, Russell, Dalzell and Allen. The latter speaker, in the eourae of his remarks, referring to the President's message, said this was not the first time that Mr. Cleveland had conjured up a lion to frighten tbe people.) He had met the first lion in the woods of Central New York when be wrote his letter of acceptance, in whieh he pointed out tne danger to Republican institu tions from a President attempting to secure a second term by attempting to use his office to re-elect himself. Now, cot a State convention was held in the United States to send a delegate to St Louis where officeholders of the United States appointed by President Cleveland did not come np and devour the convention like the lice of Egypt, and to-day in every State the office holders were deciding who should be the delegates, regardless of the wishes of the Dem ocratic masses. He would suggest a pieture for Puck to use. He would have the can didate sitting down in the sylvan woods of New lork, penning his letter of accept ance, surrounded by the Three Graces, with his face shining like that of John at Patmcs, and as he indicated to the people the dangers of allow ing a man to think of re-election he ahould be painted by the pencil of a Raphael On the other side, ho would suggest that the artist put a large-sizod gentleman with hia carpet bag in his right hand, marked "St Louis," and from his left hand, with thumb pointed toward his cose, would be a streamer with the legend "Preaching against Practice." Lauehterl. The I'resident discovered tbe second lion in lSoo, in the shape of the silver dollar. To-day the third lion appears in the shape of a sheep. Referring to the surplus resolution and the lieck amend ment thereto, he declared that it was smothered In committee because if the President signed it the gold bugs would be on his back, and if he vetoed it the great people of the West would de feat him at the polls. Mr. Bynum, of Indiana, said that when the gentleman made the assertion that the bill was smothered he did not state a fact. Mr. Allen ventured the prediction that the bill would never be brought to a vote. The bill was smothered, and was being smothered. Mr. Bvnum That statement is not tm M. Allen took no notice cf the remark, and concluded his speech without further interrup tion. Daring Mr. Dalzell's speech, a colloquy oc curred between that gentieman and Mr. Scott. growing out of a statement by the treasurer concerning tbe wages of minors. Turning to Mr. Dalzell, Mr. Scott asked how many men he Lad on bis pay roll ana to whom he gave em ployment. Mr. Dalzell I am cot a millionaire. Mr. Scott You had the opportunity, but you did cot have the brains to get there. I Democratic applause.) He asked whether Mr. Dalzell denied that the total amount of labor In a ton of rails at the Edgar Thomson works exceeded $4,901 Mr. Dalzell Certainly. Mr. Scott Then I say be states what is not to his colleague Mr. Dalzell that be minded bis attack no more than he would tbe barking of a dog in tbe street. "I will stand." continued Mr. Scott, Mon my record at home and with mr people, and if 1 have ever been the oppressor of UDor, i x cave ever ejected a man from his home, If 1 hare ever en deavored in my life (though I bare been a large employer of labor) to put one laborer in the clace cf another, or to foree one man in the place of an yther, If I have ever employed a de tective, either a nokertonastectlreor anv other kind of detective, to come and protect my prop erty against the men wco are working for me. or who hate worked for me, I will resign my seat and leave this hall the day it is prored." Mr. Brunei Does cot the gentleman con

in me coai regions . Mr. Scott No. sir, you made . that charge against me "And," interrupted Mr. Brum, "I am going to prove It" "I will make von Throve !t" rrid t Sont vehemently: ! am going to call you before the oar or tne nouse to mate you prore It." . 4 "And 1 will prove it." shonted Mr. Brumta, Tt is false, sir, as bell itself." retorted Mr. Scott The gentleman ought to bave known what he was doing. I have nothing more to say. I have been identified with the labor of this country all my life. I have worked and toiled with them, and whan I atari nnt ia mh hAil or to get anybody's money, it will not be the iuwubj wi uo wavwurur ol luia country Applause on the Democratic side. The Committee then rose and the FTnrta fnnV a recess until 8 o'clock. theevAnln cRsiAnKln for debate udoo the bilL The speakers wero Messrs. Wiekham, of Ohio, Montgomery, of Kentucky, and Shlvely of Indiana. O'KXSAIX ON TOR TARIFF. How the Member from the Second District Enlightened the House. Washington Special. After a mild interlude of temperate argument on the Republican side, O'NealL of Indiana, gained the floor. He had so much speech bot tled up that twenty-four hours longer retention would have brought about an explosion. Hav ing obtained the floor, he took f nil possession of it He stood in the middle of one gangway ani spread his books and papers over all the adjacent desks. With a voice that not only filled the whole House, but ran over into the corri dors, and never seemed to tire or stop to rest, he proceeded to demolish, with one and the same ample breath, the industrial theories of bis opponents and the grammatical rules of Lindley Murray. In eloquent periods he spoke of the "grasses which grows on the banks of it. lf!..:..l W m . . . ... . iue iuississippi; 01 tne "proancts wnicn nnas their way to market upon its capacious bosom." He conceded to the State of Pennsyl?ania that it waa "the chief manufacturing city of the country," but condemned in unmeasured terms the action of "gentlemen who comes from that section and opposes any change in the tariff," and he informed the House that he himself had "tabulated a table showing the cost of artificial tents," But it was when he came to authorities and fig ures that tbe gentleman from Indiana ahone su preme. Like Mark Twain's Dr. Oracle, he quoted 'Gibbons, and Hippocratus, and Sarcophagus, and all them old ancient philosophers, ' and proved that all "them effects is on account of the superior ref legibility, as you may say, of the sun's diramie combination with the lymphatie forces of the perihelion of Jupi ter." Every cow and then he would take up one of the ponderous volumes be had scattered around him, thump it and slam it down on the desk again, and, without naming it, would say: "i nave here the figures which prove so and so." Once or twice Bayne. of Pennsylvania, and others sought to bring him down to the region of tangible, intelligible facta. O'Neall tolerated the interruptions twice; the third time, placing his hands on his hips,' in the manner made familiar by the pictures of the older Grimaldi, he renlied: "I have submitted to all the impertinence I am going to submit to." This retort was received with shouts of laugh ter from bis party associates. Meantime his allotted time had long since expired, and Mr. Stone, of Kentucky, who had yielded a part of his own time to Mr. O'Neall with the distinct understanding that enough should be left him for his own speech, lost patience and sent up, by a page, a cote asking Mr. O'Neall to close up. Mr. O'Neall stopped in the middle of a sentence and read the note, and shortly afterward tat down amidst the plaudits of the Democrats. MINOR MATTERS.

Washington, May 16. Tbe friends of Sena tor Voorhees are exerting themselves to get a large attendance at the reception to be tendered by the Indiana Democratie Association to the Indiana Senator, at Willard's Hall, to-morrow evening. Notices are being daily published In the local newspapers, and personal solicitations are extended not only to the Senator's acquaint ances, but all who will gire him an audience. It baa been posted in every conceivable way that Senator voorhees intends to make a fierce attack upon fSenator Ingalls. and everything possible Is being done to sensationalize the action in the mind of the public, lor the purpose of getting out a large audience. It is said that besides an effort to answer Senator Ingalls, tbe Indiana Senator will try to explain his whole attitude towards the North and the South during the war, and lay down a platform toon whieh he hopes to rise in the future as well as cover the past. Senator Ingalls does cot intend to refer to Senator Voorhees when tho Ke pub lican liCagne reception takes place. Petitions for Fubllc Buildings. fecial to the Indianapolis Journal Washington, May 16. Huntington and Bluff ton have forwarded to Major Steele petitions for postoffice buildings under the provisions of the nostoffice-building bill which was recently reported in the Honse and Senate, and they have been properly presented to the committee on postoffices and post roads. Unless this bill should become a law, it is cot probable that any more cities in Indiana will secure federal build ings during the continuation of the present ad ministration, as President Cleveland vetoed bills providing buildings for Allentown, Pa., and other large cities, on grounds that no city in In diana not already provided with a federal build ing can overcome. The standard of qualifica tions set np by President Cleveland is very high, and requires that tbe headquarters of an internal revenue eolleetor shall be in a city or sessions of a federal court held tnere in order to qualify it for a public building.

INDIANA AND ILLINOIS NEWS

The Daily Chronicle of Happenins'of Various Kinds in the TwoStates. Knsh ville Disturbed Otr the Qution of Mu nicipal Salaries The Indiana Oil FieldSupervisors in a Bid Dilemma. INDIANA. Ilnsuville Agitated Orer the Onestlon of Salaries of Municipal Officiate, f pedal to tbe Indianapolis Journal. RrsHviLLE, May 16. There was quite a lively and exciting time at the Council meeting In this city last nicht. It was tbe second meeting since the installment of the three new conncilmen and Mayor, and at whieh meeting the special committee was to make their report in regard to the reduction of salaries of city offi ces. Y Their report was as follows: The Mayor's salary was cnt from $500 to $300, the clerk's from $500 to $300, the treasurer's from $223 to $200, the marshal's from $700 to $100, the city health officer from $100 to $25, the city civil en gineer, from $G to $3 per day, and the street commissioner to $2 per day. Tbe couneilmen are to receive 40 cents per hour for committee work in addition to tbe regular salary of $60 per year. The report created quite a discussion and clearly showed that a great deal of dissatisfaction existed, especially among those who com posed the citizens convention, in rhich the new Democratio conncilmen ana Democratic Mayor were nominated, At that convention resolutions recommending a re duction of salaries was read and adopted, and it was with the understanding that no man should accept a nomination on this ticket without giving his consent to serre for the salary as exactly laid down in the resolutions, which were in dorsed by each candidate. The report of the committee last night differed only in regard to salaries as to those of Mayor and marshal. They give to the Mayor $50 more than that for which, In the citizens' convention, he agreed to serve; and the marshals salary ts $300 less. Mayor Jackson's Democratio friends are de manding an explanation from him for the posi tion he has taken, as it places the local Democratic management in an uncomfortable situa tion. Georgo II. Funtenney, editorof the Jack sonian, and the father of tbe reform morement in the citizens' convention, in which Mr. Jackson was nominated, will say in his paper to morrow, in an editorial headed A W abbling Reform:" The City Council reduced the salaries last Tuesday evening considerably. They had a right to do all they did except giring the Mayor $300 salary. Tbe council knew that he had promised, it elected, to serre for 3250. They knew the people eleeted him just because he promiseJ to talc a $250; that just as good a man as Mr. JaekFOu could be got to mi tnat place for S250. Then their giricg Mr. Jackson 3UU was throwing away $50 per year of the people's money. More, and worse than that, Mr. Jackson breaks his solemn pledge to tbe citizens convention, and tho majority of the voters of Kushville, and makes it appear that that convention, called to Institute eeonomy and reform in the city government, was a fraud and a false pretense. It was a rebnk to the honest men of thai convention for disregarding party ties and zneetiug for tbe good of the city, morally and financially. Mayor Jackson will find it difficult to convince the people of Rush ville that be acted honorably, with them. Still, progress is being made, and another citizens' convention will make it all right. Mr. Jackson will never be Mayor of Kushville again. Richmond's Natural-Gas Supply. I peel at to the Indianapolis Journal. Richmond, May 16.

BRK'R HEWITT AGAIN. Tie Talks Plainly to the Defeated Striking Brewers of New York. New Tork Fpeciil. Mayor Hewitt figured this afternoon in one of those characteristic matinees for which Ne York citizens have come to look with more of less regularity. The occasion was a visit front a committee representing the locked-out brewers, who are anxious to get back to work. In the course of his reply the Mayor managed to drot many gems of philosophy. On the whole they will net attract many labor votes, and at tbe end of the conference the committee withdrew, feeling rather the worso for their encounter with the doughty chief-magistrate. The committee consisted of Emil Herbrand, the national secretary of the brewers' organisation, and he was accompanied by Charles Pomtner and Ernest Korzenarber. Editor Shevitch ot the Volki Zeltung was also alone, and managed to get into a lively debate with the Mayor before tbe affair was settled. Tretty nearly 1,000 men marched down Broadway, filled the benehes ia Cityliall Park, and looked for places where non-pool beer is sold while the committee conferred with the Mayor. The Mayor made short work of the committee. Its spokesman made a abort speech to the effect that the men -wanted to go back to work. "Yes, but you want the bosses to recognize your onion, don't youf demanded the Mayor, sharply. 'Yes. sir, we do. "Well, suppose they refute, as they will, what tbenl" The men were somewhat staggered. Then the Mayor proceeded to read them a little lecture in which be dealt in eeonomio questions, history, and military science. "I'm sorry this thing bas happened.' said hia Honor. "1 wish I could have prevented it before it started. But I am cot the law. I have not the power. I wish I had. But I know the law. Now, you have a right to your unions sod the bosses have a right to eiy they won't employ union men. I believe in unions. They are good for the workingmen, good for the bosses, and. good for the community. But the employer bas a right to select his own men, and your boycotts are unlawful. My sympathies are with you, but you are beaten. When pride meets pride the longest purso wins. It is so in your case. Now, the best thing you can do is to retreat in good order. Why, 1 have been beaten fifty times. I don't like it, but I retreated and waited for n chance to give it to the other fellow. George Washington wrs retreating a good deal of tbe time, but he whipped the English in the ecd. You go back to work! I will help you all I can, but I will not go mt' tho matter if you insist on having your union recognized. My efforts would fail." One of the committee suggested that the Mayor might take the lead to provide food for the families of the locked-out men. "It would cost $1,500 per day to do it," said the Mayor. 'I can't provide that, and I don't know how to do it unless I call upon my friends, the reporters, here, to contribute " Editor Schevitch started to do a little talking, and succeeded in stirring up the Mayor when he spoke of scabs as being the meanest and most contemptible of men. 'Look here," said his honor, "I've heard that before. I've had those scabs In my office and have investigated tbeir cases, and 1 tell y.u they are moral heroes. That's what I eall them. There is no tyranny greater than that of the labor union that presumes to say that a man shall do no work unless he joins a tnioff. The men who protest against it, I repeat, are moral heroes. They are protesting against an insult to the spirit of liberty." The Mayor was much in earnest "But the rights cf nankind," began Editor Schevitch. "Bah! No platitudes," said bis Honor. The rights of man are not platitudes," protested Mr. Schevitch. "This business of Knights of Labor dictation will not do," said the Mayor. "There are 2,000, 000 Knights of Labor, but there are 00.000,000 of people In this eountry, and 2,000,000 can't rule 60.000,000 not In America at least Yot must understand that!" There was considerable more of the same sort, and the committee waa obliged to depart with a promise from the Mayor to write to the bosses and endeavor to bring about some settlement of the trouble. He would promise no more. On tlie Grand Round. Milwaukee ?;UneL Mr. Cleveland is wrestling with the cyclopaedia once more, in preparation for another awing around the circle.
