Mr. Plumb The Senator may be competent to discuss his own record: that i9 bad enough, bnt not to discuss tho record of other Senators. Mr. Plumb commented npon "the combination which seemed to exist between the Democratic party and the Senator from Massachusetts,' And proceeded to state the objects of tbe bilL Under it, tho President, he said, might require all the appointments to be made in accordance with civil-service rules, or ho could provide some other way of making t hem. The bill simply put the whole question of the Appointments in the President's power. It did not seem to him as if the bill should have excited debate. The , appointments were to be mere temporary ones. They could not last longer, under the bill, than the 1st of July nest, unless some new provision was made. That was all that there was of it .Mr. Plumb went on to say that there was nothing in tbe bill which invited challenge, either from those who believed or from those who did not believe in civil-service reform. , Mr. Hoar expressed his belief that no party in the country would bo hardy enough to put itself on a platform of demanding the repeal of the civil-service law. At tho close of the discussion Mr. Hoar. at Mr. Faulkner's suggestion, modified his amendment so as to make it read that "the examination for the appointment of these medical examiners shall be nnder regulations prescribed by the President of tbe United States.11 The amendment was greed to yeas, 33; nays, 8 as follows: YEAS.

The members had been discussing the Walker divorce case, in which a divorce was granted on a . vote of 21 to 19. Senator Kaulbach, a German-Canadian, had spoken against the divorce. Senator Sand ford, who is a very small man, and who was formerly a tailor in Hamilton, tho fair petitioner's residence, derided Mr. Katilbach's remarks and made fnn of him. Directly alter adjonrument the two metintbe lobby, and Kaulbach seized hold of the little Senator and 6hook him severely." lie called him several opprobrious names, and finally challenged him to tight outside tho building.

CniCAGO. April 17. The bill that passed the lower Houso of Congress Tuesday to relieve tbe United States Supreme Court is severely criticised by Judges Gresham. Blodgett and Jenkins. Tho relief proposed is commended, but the method is condemned. Jndge Gresham in an interviow this evening said to take away, as the bill provides, the original jurisdiction of circuit courts and throw all their work on the district courts, bo far as the trial of causes is concerned, will have the eflect in such places as Now York, Chicago and San Fraucisco of congesting tho district courts. This courne Judge Gresham regarded particularly unfortunate, for tbe trial courts were those nearest and most important to the pec pie at large. Impending Dauber at llayou Sara. Bayou Sara. April 17.

THE DRINK HABIT IN BRITAIN

Surprising Revelations in the Budget Presented to the House of Commons. Great Increase of Intemperance Shown by the Enormous Revenue Derived from the Duty and Tax 'on Alcoholic Beverages. Receipts and Expenditures and Needs of the Nation for the Coming Year. How Chancellor Goschen's Speech Was Received The Gaelph Fnnd and Social Evil Discussed by the Prussian Landtag. THE EN G LIS II BUDGET. An Array of Figures That Will Surprise Temperance People State of the Revenues. London, April 17. Goschen, Chancellor of the Exchequer, presented the budget in the House of Commons to-day. It ehows that the expenses exceeded the estimates by 11,G00 and that the receipts exceeded the estimates by over 3,000,000. The duty on alcoholic beverages realized over 5,800,000; the beer duty exceeded the estimates by 270,000; the duty on foreign spirits exceeded the estimates by 421,000; on home spirits by 1,010,000, and on wine by 12,000. The total receipts from alcoholic beverages, both foreign and domestic, exceeds the estimates by 1,SOO,000. The dnties on coffee, cocoa and chicory showed a decrease of 17,500, whilo the duties on teas showed on increase of 40,000. Commenting on the gross revenues from alcoholic beverages (29,2C5,000), Mr. Goschen said that the figures showed a. universal rush to tho. beer barrel, the spirit bottle and tho wine decanter. Everybody seemed bent on toasting the national prosperity and increasing tho revenue. It was a circumstance that must be deplored. A closer examination would not diminish the surprise; for the largest increase had been of all the spirits in the world from rum. Laughter. He had taken pains to discover who drank the mm. It was drunk mainly at seaports. The increase from rum had been 12 per cent, from British spirits. 7 per cent.; from wine, 10 per cent.; from' beer, 4 per cent.; from brandy, 6 per cent. In 18S8 the number of drams taken reached 245,000,000; in 1S, 275,000,000. It was an extraordinary historical fact that tho years 1875 and 1S76, the greatest drinking years recorded, there was precisely the same rush and precisely the. same proportion of revenue from different spirits. Increased prosperity, therefore, meaut a great increase in the consumption of alcoholic drinks. The postal receipts exceeded estimates by 100,000. The revenue from the telegraphs exceeded the estimates by 90,000. The exact surplus reached 3,221,000. He said he was glad to give a good account of tho continued reduction of the national debt, which, dnring the last three years, hud been diminished by leaps and bounds. The total reduction for 1889 reached the enm of 8,2U5.000. This amount, added to reductions of the previous two years, made 'a grand total of 23,823.000. This amount was me large si ever paiu in reauciion oi the debt during the same length of time. After explaining the result of the conversion of the three per cents.. Mr. Goschen referred to the calling in of pre-Yictorian gold coin. 2,170,000 sovereigns and 314,000 half sovereigns having come in for reininting. There had been a windfall of 774.000 during the year from the profit on circulation. Silver would be used to meet the deficit from light gold coins. Proceeding to the estimates for the coming year, he said he estimated that there would bo an expenditure of 80,857.000 and revenue of 90,400,000. As to the disposal of the surplus of 3.549.000 he said he proposed to allot 300,000 to military barracks and to devote 100.000 to the equipment of volunteers. The Indian and colonial postage rate would bo reduced to 2 pence half penny by any route. The apprentice agreement stamp would be reduced to half a crown, and the stamp on health insurance policies would ' bo abolished. Tho duties on gold and silver plate would also be abolished. The tipplers, who had largely produced the surplus, wonld have a chance to redeem themselves, owing to the reduction of the tea duty by 2 pence per pound. (Cheers. He said he was opposed to the total abolition of tho tea duty because it was tho only vehicle whereby tbe non-smoker and non-drinker could contribute to the revenue. Next, the duty on enrrants would be reduced from 7 to 2 shillings per hundred weight. The increased beer duty temporarily imposed in 1880 would be taken ofl. Tne innabited-honse duty would be reduced, and all, workingclass tenements nnder 20 rental would be exempt from the house tax. Cheers. Turning from imperial to local finance's, ho proposed to raise revenue for Countycouncil purposes by an increased duty of 6 pence per gallon on spirits, and 3 pence ner barrel on beer. "Hear, bear!" and "Oh, oh!" This would yield 1.000,000. He hoped the friends of temperance would be satisfied, and that publicans would take a broad view of the question. In concluding Mr. Goschen said he trusted thatlthe budget would be recognized as an endeavor to altord relief in various directions withoutresortingtoviolentineasures. He spoke three hours. Sir Vernon Harcourt congratulated Mr. Goschen upon the country's satisfactory financial prospect. In reply to Mr. Mundclla's complaint that nothing had been done for the catiso of freo education, Mr. Goschen promised that subject would be dealt with at tho next session. There was no likelihood, as a member had suggested, of a general election being held, und in framing the present budget he had kept the question in view, and could already see the way to obtaining 500,000 for the purpose. He hoped, also, before ho loft otlice to deal with the currency question, but ho would reserve his opinion regarding tho issue of pound notes. He replied in detail to other criticisms, and announced that tho reduction of the duty on tea would take efi'ect on May 1. Mr. Labouchcre said that Mr. Goschen tried to please everybody, and would satisfy nobody. Mr. Nolan said it was a model electioneering budget. Mr. Sexton said that a gross injustice had been done to Ireland, and that the Parnellites would resist the government's proposals by every means in their power. Formal resolutions were adopted, authorizing tbe proposed increase of duties. The Gladstonians, discussing the budget in tho lobby, calledita "dissolution budget. ' Mr. Goschen stated that in return fci the reductiou of the duty on currants the Greek government had promised to lower the Greek tariff on British manufactures. He hinted that tbe duty on raisins might be reduced in 1811 if Spain and Turkey were willing to make similar concessions. He promised a bill to suspend tho issue of licenses to publicans until tho licensing question is finally settled. Although Mr. Goschen is not personally a popular man. he is easilj' the ablest speaker on finance in either house, and his utterances on this subject always command attention. Among those who endured tho diseoniforts of the crowded state of tho visitors gallery to tho end of Mr. Goschen's speech were a large number of foreign representatives and attaches who paid close attention to tho speaker's statements. Mr. Goschen stated that he regarded the budget the best that had ever been issued by any government, and its reception certainly justified the estimate be placed upon it. ft is generally regarded favorably and will probably be popular, though the failure of the Ministry to reduce the income tax causes much disappointment. Th reduction of the tax on tea appears at first sight to bo a great concession, but it is really of small consequence and only sutlicient to bene.tit the middle men. This clause will, doubtless, be made the basis ofta spirited debate. The foreign special tax is a great, surprise, and tb postage reduction is a concession to Mr. J. Henniker Heatou. the. Conservative member for Canterbury, who has so persistently hammered at this point as to drive PostmaHter-generel Kaikes to the verge of distraction. The voluntary grant is merely a sop to the martial element in the provincial districts in order to regain the popular-

ity which the government has lost through its application of certain local measures entailing more or less annoyance than benctit. Hon. C. R, Raikes. Postmaster-generyl. said he was in hope that the negotiations that had recently been renewed with tLo United States government looking to the establishment of a parcels post between' Great Britain and that country would be successful. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

An Unsavory Discussion In the Prussian Landtag The Guelph. Fund. Berlin, April 17. In the Landtag, to-day, Dr. Windthorst, leader of the Clerical party,' raised the question of tho abolition of the Guelph fund, and advocated the revocation of the sequestration of the property of the Hanoverian crown. Dr. Windthorst was supported by Heir BrneL Herr Herefurtb, Prussian Minister of the Interior, opposed the proposal. Tho sequestration could not be rescinded, nor could the Guelph fnnd be abolished without a special law..' Herrcn Windthorst and Brnel contended that no special law was necessary. Dr. Stoecker referred to tho enormous increase of prostitution in Berlin, and cited statistics to show that its rapid grown had been unchecked bv the authorities. Herr Herefurtb declared that tho statisticscitcd were false and misleading. Several members of the Freissiuige party protested against public discussion of the matter. A number of ladies occupied seats in the galleries during tbe whole of Stoccker's speech, which treated of thi subject under discussion in the plainest terms. Discontent In the Brazilian Army. Lisbon, April 17. A letter from Rio de Janeiro, dated March 27, says that the discontent among the military is growing. The government did not dare to enforce the order that was issued to three battalions of infantry to embark for southern provinces.

It is reported that the government has decided to submit tho Constitution to a plebiscite instead of to the Constituent Assembly. Religions instruction in State schools has been suppressed. ' Germany May Admit Our Pork. . London, April 17. Emperor William has expressed his strong desire that the prohibitive restrictions placed upon the importation of foreign pork into Germany be removed.

THE HILTON-STEWART EXPOSE. More Charges Intended to Belittle the Dead Millionaire and His Business Successor. New Yor.K. April 18. In the continuation of the World's "Hilton-Stewart expose." much space is devoted to a description of the business practices of the great dry-goods man. From Chapter 9 the followingoxtracts are taken: 'Almostmidway in the decade between 1S59 and 1809, when the star of Stewart was in its zenith, when his supremacy in trade was admitted of all men, when he was projecting enterprises that made the world wonder where he was going to stop, there was a a dinner . party at his house, and among his guests were two of his mis tresses. A gentleman who dined atrthat table is the informant of the World. I did not,' said he, 'know the character of the women at the time, and did not know it for a long time afterwards. or 1 should have lelt his house at once. " "There are twenty years and over of secrets of this kind in the bosom of Henry Hilton; secrets that the record shows have to him been worth millions aud millions of dollars. The threat that he could blast the reputation of Stewart would have been proven in the Surrogate's Court a m witness ttood ready to swear to it but objections and legal technicalities blocked the way. The pict ure of the widow in tears, with Hilton glowering over her, in the marble palace. would have been painted had not learned counsel interposed objection and judicial precedent. Some iiddle-faddle ruling of some ludor judge sealed up lips that under oath would have told the story J. ho World is telling on this page this morn ing. LiUCKy imtou. - "The juggling with tbe millions began as soon as Stewart's worn out body was laid in St. Mars. and in the seven days following the morning on which the man of God committed Stewart to the earth the Judge contrived to get a contiding little old weeping widow to sign over to him between ten and twelve millions of the Stewart accumula tions. How beautiful. It was the most magnificent and daring dash at a fortuno man ever made. Stewart, with all his genius for business, was unable to make ten millions in less than a quarter of a century. Hil ton did it in a week. And looking back at it all, and considering Hilton's power, it may be that he should be praised for his moderation in not sweeping double the amount from the splendid pile that fortune had spread out so temptingly be fore him." FAILURE IN THE SILK TRADE. Assignment of Louis Frank & Co., New York, with Liabilities o! Nearly a Million. New York, April 17. A big failure in the silk trade was announced to-day, that of the well-known firm of Louis Franke & Co., raw silk importers, No. 110 Grand street, who are also manufacturers of thrown silk at Paterson, N. J. Louis Franke and Henry W. Strauss; the partners of the firm, made a general assignment without preference to lawyer Adolphns H. Stoiber. There were rumors current several days ago that a silk-house was "in trouble," but the trade had no idea that the firm of Louis Franke & Co., were embarrassed, as they were supposed to have a capital of at least 500,000. Sympathy is expressed for the linn, and it is hoped they will get an extension of time. Tbe liabilities are said to be upwards of $900,000, with nominal assets or si.'juu.uw. ine causes auriDuiea for the embarrassment are inability toraise money to meet maturing obligations, the stringency of tbe money market, .the stoppage of accommodations by the banks, and losses by recent failures in Faterson. it is said the firm lost in all tho recent silk-trade failures; that they have been carry ing a great many small concerns. who do not pay promptly, ana find difficulty in making collections. The outstanding accounts are large, and they were liberal in credits. They im ported the bulk of their raw silk from France, China and Japan, and bought in the local markets. They are said to be one of the firms that nought ' heavily of raw silk in 1888, when prices were low, and made a big profit. Thoy generally carried a stock of about gooo.ooo. ineir . paper heretofore sold at low rates as gilt-edged, but recently, it is said, they found a diffi culty in disposing of it, although their x - ! 1 1 z A ' 1 nuanciai position was unuuesuoneu.

Senator Jones of rlonda was made crazy bv these crallerv trirls. and he nosed and t&ought and, thought and posed for them until the machinery of his brain got out; of order, and it required only the concentrated beauty of a Detroit girl to drive him en tirely erf zy. Ben Lefevre of Ohio was always posing for tho galleries of the House. He weighed 250 pounds, and bethought that every pound of it was beautiful. It is the same with other members of the House to day, and I venture that manv of our states men brush their clothes and tie their neck ties with an eye to the impression that they may create in the chamber. It may be that Springer wears his buttonhole bouquet for this purpose. There is no doubt but that these ladies of the upper circle have a decided influence upon legislation. It is no wonder it should be so. for some of the prettiest women of the land daily sit in these places.' When a Senator or member makes a great speech his wife is generally present to hear him, and Senator Ingalls never distinguished himself without Mrs. Ingalls being on the ground to see. It is the same with General Haw ley and not a few of the other Senators. Mrs. Cariisle is frequently in tbe House gallery, and Mrs. Reed and Mrs. Springer often attend the sessions of Congress. . These galleries have been the scene of many a romance, and not infrequently yon will see eorae Senator chatting earnestly with some fair young, constituent in them. Love-matches are frequently mado in tho Capitol, and Henry A. Wise's noted father proposed to his second wife on the Capitol dome. Every Congress one or more members is married, and not infrequently the introduction or some phases of the courtship occur here. A statesman is never so happy or so great as when escorting a lady visitor through these Capitol corridors, and I note that the escort of a constituent generally depends npon the woman. If the girl is young, bright-eyed and sweet, not one of tbe Senators, from old Justin S. Morrill to John Allen, will permit his secretary to take her abontana show her the sights, but if she be old, and withered and cranky there is not one of them but will consign her to his private secretary or cleric, and make as an excuse that he has a committeo to attend or a speech to write. Frozen Truth. JI ontlcello Herald. In Buenos Ayres it takes $3 in currency of tho realm to purchase $1 in gold. The bad efiects of inflation are further indicated by a revolutionary proposition on the part of the people there to repudiate all existing debts and begin anew. The late fiat party enthusiasts of this country might receive a wholesome lesson from Buenos Ayres and then recall their anxiety to have a similar condition of things here. It is not difficult, however, to demonstrate the futility of a scbemo anywhere that proposes to give someimng wiiuout conBiuera tion. Strange Words for a Messiah. Kansas City Journal. The Rev. Mr. Schweinfnrth, of Rockford, 111., who announces himself as the Messiah, speaks thus pleasantly of newspaper reDorters: They are the damnablest black guards of hell and the hour of their retribu tion is at band. At a moment wnen tbev wotnot tbe month of an everlasting perdi tion will open, into the yawning abyss of which they will be plunged to gnash their teeth and send up to the unheeding ears of an outraged Lord their wails of anguish throught all eternity." " Northern Capital In the South. Atlanta Constitution. Let them go on with the work of citybuilding in the South. There is plenty of room for them, and a right royal welcome for alL ue want to majco this country a new South in deed, as well as name; and we want our Northern friends tohelp us in the work, and still bv their presence and co-operation to cement the ties which bind us together as brothers all, and citizens of one common country. Wonld De Rough on the Democracy. Kansas City Times (Dem.) ThftFarmes, Alliance of Atchison conn ty. Kansas, has passed resolutions warning professional politicians that it will have nothintr to do with them. If the alliance as a whole will take this stand, it will be a enc.A deal more powerful than it is even now. The danger of all organizations like the alliance is in its use by the politicians. The Pnnifthment Hardly Fits tbe Crime. Chicago JonrnaL The American girl who weds not for love bnt for a title, only to learn when her husband hns squandered her money that he is not a count bnt a low adventurer, is certainly an object of sympathy. And yet, a girl who enters tbe most sacred of human states thronph motives of pure vanity surely deserves some punishment. Called by Its night Name. Nebraska Journal. But probably in tbe next great war between civilized countries' piracy, that is, tho destruction of private property on the high seas, will bo definitely abandoned as a p.irt5 of the business of the naval forces. It is a barbarous practice, and should be made obsolete by international agreement. Sense on Carpet Wools. Hartford Courant. The Hartford Times should know that tho Hartford CarptComyany is not Buttering from the competition of foreign carpetmakers. Its competitors are the other ear-pet-mills, all subject to tho same taritf. There wonld bo jnst as many nulls, with just as much competition, if the duty were removed. Doubt That Is Distressing. rcoenesttr Democrat.

The Line of Caret tes That Are Used in Chicago Now. Chicago News. People who beard a brass band in tho vicinity of State and Washington streets last week, and who saw along procession of odd-looking vehicles, did not imagine it was a circus. Instead, they witnessed tho inauguration of a new system of rapid transit for Chicago. The strange-lookinc vehicles are called "caretles." and it will only bo a few weeks before tbey will be as familiar on the streets of Chicago as omnibuses or street-cars. A new line of sixtecu of these 'carettcs' is to bo started on Adams street, between State and llobey, on Monday next. They -will run past tho Union Depot and will take shoppers to tho great retail store down town. They will carry passengers for 5 cents and will stop any where. They will be manned with conductors and drivers, and will drive up to the curb to take on And let ofl nassenizers. It is expected that they will be in much demand lor theater parties in the evening. Another line will soon be started on tho North Side, running from Lincoln Park to the postollice oy way of Knsh street. Eventually other lines will be put on di lit rent parts of tho city. The caretto is a kind of combination stage and street-railway car. Each vehicle will seat twenty perMons. It is claimed bv tbe promoters that the carette is tbe handsomest, and most convenient and easyriding vehicle ever put upon the streets for public accommodation. The seats and backs are upho-stered, and contain spring. The vehicles are specially constructed for easo and comfort, and rest upon patented springs of novel design. A single low step to the platform in the rear gives easy iugress and egress. There is said to be an absolute freedom from jolting in motion. Fast time is predicted, as. although the motor is only horse-power, there are no blockades such as obstruct street-cars. The company controlling the new system is the Ktissell Street-caietta Companv, which U incorporated under the laws of Illinois. As no tracks aro necessary, these carettes will probably soon be running on the most exclusive residence streets and boulevards. They are painted white, with gold decorations, and will raako Mr. Yerkes's streetcars look very plebeian by comparison. It is said that the company has received proposals to introduce similar vehicles on Fifth avenue. New Yorki in place of the stages now run there. Tall Chimneys. E. II. Paiiborne, in New York Sun. An editorial in to-day's Sun refers to the Clark chimney at Kearne, near Newark, as the "tallest smoke tower in the world." There are several of greater height. The Clark chimney measures ii feet in height. The chimney of the Tall Kiver iron-works, at Fall Hiver. Mass.. is S40 feet high: the great Townsend stack in Glasgow, Scotland is 4.4: there is a chimney 4) feet in height at the mills of Tennant &. Co.. Glasgow, and tho factory of Dolson V; Harlow in llolton. England, has an octagonal stack iHYIy feet high. A rhimney now in course of erection at the imperial foundry of Halsbrucke. near Freiburg, in Saxony, will bo 4."3 feet high when completed. The base of this chimney is upon a hill 2."9 feet above the level of the luruacs and S,iiS feet distant from them. The lines connecting tho furnaces with the stack cross the river Mulde upon a bridge built for the purpose. Hard on the Doctors. Euptne Field's London Letter. There are two stories that are told at the Savago Club: Doctor ianeut for to attend sick womau; on his arrival finds woman dead. "Why was 1 not summoned sooner!" doctor asks, angrily. "We did think of it." explained the bereaved husband, "but wo coucluded that it would be cheaper to let er dio a natural death." On another occasion doctor arrives too late. Husband explains: "You see, doctor." nays husband, "when shA complained of feelin' bad, I gave her tho pill yon prescribed for mo a year ago, - but which I didn't take. It's liawful, 1 know, but iust think wot would ivo 'appened if I'd fave taken it."
