The latest outline of the Senate tarifC bill shows the handiwork of Senator Voorhees In an amendment extending the bonded period for whisky to eight years. When the Bland seigniorage bill reaches the Senate It may develop Into a fullfledged free-coinage bill. The Democratic party, as now organized. Is capable of any tolly. No man should bo nominated for township assessor who Is not willing to give the township all his time for the very liberal salary which he i3 paid. Mr. "Wolf has not been so satisfied. The Pope celebrated his eighty-fourth birthday yesterday. Topes do not resign, but they all die once, and tho present Pope, though very bright for his years, cannot hold out much longer. "Fast day should go," says the free trade Boston Herald. True, not only one, but the long line of weary days of fasting for the unemployed. And they would go quickly if the Wilson bill could be killed. Every day's performance of the freetraders in Washington proves that everybody wants full protection for the lnter- .... . t , csts of their own States. The only exceptions are Senators Voorhees and Turpi e. , Since the fall elections and the repetitions In different parts of the country the Democratic zeal for the admission of new States has suddenly cooled. There are more States now than the Democrats believe to be for their good. The report of the Democratic Labor Commissioner of New York for 1S93 contains returns from 2.010 establishments, representing sixty-four industries, of which 700, or 15 per cent., have been either entirely closed or are running on short time, while 434 establishments show an absolute reduction of wages. The silver Senators will not fall over one another in their anxiety to -vote for the Bland seigniorage bill. It means nothing to them In a silver way. They art- for free coinage because it would make e. market for silver and put money in their pockets, but the Bland bill only provides for the coinage of sliver on hand. If a first-clas3 reporter could have attended the Democratic senatorial caucus he could have furnished the public several columns of very Interesting reading. Among the episodes would have been a description of the towering rage of Senator Voorhees when he charged that there is a Democratic conspiracy to defeat the Wilson bill. ilr. Bynum will not oppose any free-trade bill on the floor of the House. Having .voted for the Wilson bill and declared himself in favor of equalizing wages here and la Europe, he will gala nothing by making a fuss about a further cut in the duty on glass. If there 13 a fre-trader in the land bis name Is Bynum. He cannot escape his record, One of the men convicted of fraud as an election officer . in New York Is one Fay, who was masquerading as a Republican. If he had been In fact a Republican and had been convicted of a corrupt act. Republicans would be gratified, because they want none such; but this roan is cne of the Republicans for revenue who take the name to serve the enemy. Such men are the most contemptible of rascal a. - The presidential election in Brazil has resulted In the choice of Dr. Moraes. present Vice President of the Senate. This was almost a foregone conclusion, as he was the Official candidate, and under the constitution of Brazil the government has almost unlimited power in the way of Influencing elections. Senor Moraes, however. Is a man of proved ability, high character and large experience In public affairs. He is an ar"dent republican, and as his election was legal and regular It ought to put an end to the pending revolution and restore peace In Brazil.' The report of the State Superintendent of Banks in New York for the year 189:1 presents some interesting statistics In regard to the savings banks. The aggregate resources of all the Havings banks In the State on Jan. 1, 1S34. were roi.KS.ll. being less by J13.013.544 than they were Jan. 1, 1S33. During last year there passed over the tellers' counters the aggregate sum of $111,212.503, of which amount J1S9.347.223 was depcs'.U and 2.SC3.K3 withdrawals. The

amounts withdrawn exceeded the deposits by J34.518.031, New York city alone being credited with over half n7f6OK0. The total surplus Jan. L 1834, was JS7.1 11,451. being less by J1.C1O.002 than a year ago. During the year 1S32 the deposits were J211.459.520 and the withdrawals J13i,l2S,400, or an excess of deposits over withdrawals of $17,331.12 L These figures are a pointed object Icrson on the results of one year of Democratic misrule in a single State. TARIFF OtTLOOK IX TIIH SENATE. It is very evident from the further reports of the Democratic senatorial caucus that the affair was not so one-sided as the free-trade papers have' represented. The only vote taken showed but a majority of two In favor of the Voorhees committee's decision, and Senator Hill did not vote. It comes out through the report of the New York Sun that Senator Gorman assailed the Wilson bill as a whole, as being r either a protective nor a revenue tariff measure, and one upon which the Democratic party could not go to the country. The New York and the New Jersey Senators spoke for a tariff which would enable employers to maintain the present high standard of wages. Senator Hill assailed the ad valorem features of the Wilson bill, which, it now appears. Is the theory of the free traders like Mills. True, the caucus adjourned without action, having referred the bill back to the full finance committee, but this has no slgniflcanc?. The adjournment was had practically on the motion of Senator Gorman, while the reference

back to the committee was made in order that the whole committee might have a chance to amend it In accordance with the suggestions made by Senators hostile to the measure which had been prepared by the "three ex-brlgadler generals" of whom Senator Brice spoke. If the changes suggested or demanded are made in part, a Democratic tariff bill will be passed, but it will not be the Wilson bill. If those changes are not made in the bill when reported there will be a protracted fight in the Senate, a there was over the bill repealing the Sherman act, the object on the part of the Democrats being to secure time to make a compromise upon which they can get together. That is, the Senate, by the inability of the Democratic Senators to agree upon a measure at one?, will prolong for weeks the present uncertainty regarding tariff legislation, to the great detriment of business and the suffering of the unemployed. THE BRITISH TIX-PLATE INDUSTRY CRIPPLED. The Western Mall Is a paper published at Cardiff, Wales. It Is the leading paper of South Wales, which Is the seat of the tinplate Industry In Great Britain. In Its issue of Jan. 10 the Mall published a letter from a special correspondent describing the prostration of business In tho tin-plate district since the McKlnley law went Into effect. The headlines to the letter are: "Sad Effects of the McKlnley Act-Poverty and Distress In Wales and Monmouthshire Workers Too Proud to Beg Children Kept from School for Want of Clothing Houses Denuded of Their Valuables Onoe Thriving Districts . DesoIate One Thousand Pounds Weekly Required for Relief." The correspondent begins by saying "that the effects of the McKlnley tariff upon the tin-plate trade of South Wales may be better understood, I give a list of works which have been totally Idle for periods ranging from a few weeks to nearly two years since the tariff bill came into operation." The list numbers thirty works. This is followed by a presentation of facts concerning the distress caused among worklngmen and their families by the closing of. the works which is painful to read, and which fully sustains the headlines quoted above. The letter concludes: "Such are the results of the McKlnley tariff In South Wales, and some of the tin-platers have probably months of inaction to look forward to yet. We can but hope that an end will soon come to the uncertainty now existing in regard to the fate of the measures for repeal or reform of the tariff in the States." This letter Is a complete reply to the assertion of Democratic leaders that the tin-plate Industry has not made any substantial progress m this country under the McKlnley law. It shows that the growth of the industry in this country has been such as to seriously cripple the business, in South Wales, and that the foreign manufacturers are anxiously hoping the tariff reformers will come to their relief. The McKlnley law was not passed primarily for the purpose of crippling foreign manufactures, or causing distress among foreign workmen. It was passed to protect American Industries and American workmen, but if in doing this the other results should ensue It does not follow that the law should be repealed. It is the duty of the American Congress to legislate for the Interests of the American people, regardless of foreign interests. SECRETARY CARLISLE AND TUG CIVIL SERVICE LAW. It Is not Burrrislr.g that the Civil-service Commission and Secretary Carlisle should have come i:i collision in regard to the construction and enforcement of the clvil-serv-icc law. It is the business of the commisslon to enforce the law and It is the disposition of all Democratic officials to violate It as far as they can. Mr. Carlisle is a spoilsman, and no doubt has gone as far as he dared In the direction of nullifying the law. He has shown his contempt for the spirit of the law in many ways, and he may have violated its letter, but thi3 U doubtful. While Mr. Carlisle is a spoilsman he is also a lawyer and Is not likely to have erred in his construction of the civilservice law or the extent of his powers under it. The Issue between the Civilservice Commission and the Secretary seems to be as to his right to remove a treasury clerk without assigning any reason therefor. Tho ca:e in hand was that of one Gaddls, a treasury clerk who had been detailed to duty with the commission. His services were entirely satisfactory to the commission and bin retention was deFired, but the Secretary removed him without assigning any cause. The commission assumed that he was removed for polltk-al reasons and thereupon instituted an investigation, the Treasury Department denying

their right to do so. Chairman Roosevelt concludes his presentation of the case by saying: "In view of the position taken by the Secretary In his last two letters it seems useless further to discuss the matter with him, and I recommend that the case be brought to the attention of the President. On Nov. 11 the Secretary, In effect, takes the position that it Is not a violation of the civil-service law to remove a man for political reasons." As thi3 Is a question of legal construction the Secretary is probably right. The truth is, the civil-service law does not seriously restrict the right to make removals from office. Its provisions relate almost exclusively to the manner of appointments to office. Although the spirit of the law Is against removals for political reasons it does not anywhere say in express terms that removals may not be made for such cause. Neither does it say that cause must be assigned for a removal. Every clerk in the government service, including all those under the civil-service law, could be removed to-morrow for polit

ical or any other reasons, and the heads of departments would not have to assign any cause. In short, the power of removal Is absolute. The law deals only with the mode of appointment to office, and Is very stringent in prohibiting appointments from being made for political reasons.. It takes every precaution to bar the way against the recognition of political services or Influence in the matter of appointments, and Its provisions on this head are so strong that there is very little temptation for any head of department to create vacancies under the law. He can make removals, but he cannot appoint hts personal or polltlcal friends to tho vacancies, and the machinery of the law is just as apt to grind out a personal or political enemy as friend. Unless the Civil-service Commission has a stronger case against Secretary Carlisle than that of making removals for political cause they will not be able to bring him under the penalty of the law. THE SOUTH AND THE GRAND ARMY. A few days since the Journal printed the caustic attack of the Charleston News and Courier upon Atlanta for desiring the National Encampment of the Grand Army, attributing that desire to its Yankee propensity to clutch the dollar, while on all special occasions Atlanta Is as devoted to the memory of Jeff Davis and the lost cause as 13 Charleston. The Atlanta Constitution quotes the Charleston paper, and, after attributing the lack of prosperity in that city to the unreconstructed News and Courier, goes on as follows: Atlanta wastes no time in mourning over the past or in snapping and snarling at other cities and other sections. She mav be strictly business, but she is also animated by the spirit of genuine patriotism, and, in the best sense of the phrase, there Is not a more thoroughly American city on the continent to-day than the famous CItv of the Siege. The Grand Army men will be hospitably entertained here, and our people will not pause to ask whether the reunion will be a matter of profit or loss. We want the veterans in blue to come down here and get better acquainted with their Southern brethren. When Atlanta finds it necessary she can make an aggressive fiht on the Issues of the present, but she does not propose to fight her battle3 over again. When we leveled our forts and filled up our trenches we left the war behind us and went to work to make the most of our opportunities. But while no Southern paper has yet come to the support of the Atlanta Constitution, the Charleston News and Courier has a zealous second In the Memphis Commercial, which says: So far as we are concerned, wc have made no discord in the patriotic chin , music of our Georgia contemporary, but we are not nt all gushy over the distinguished honor. We will venture to predict that while the good people of Atlanta are doing their best to make things pleasant and agreeable to the members of the G. A. It. they will have to swallow more Insults than their good temper can digest. Th3y will hear themselves denounced as "rebels" and "traitors" and fervid, oratorical battle-scarred veterans will whoop It up on the "atrocities of Andersonville," compare "Jeff Davis" to the Duke of Alva, will parade the streets singing "Marching through Georgia." and glorify the deeds of rapine, spoliation and Incendiarism that marked. Sherman's Georgia campaign. If the people of Georgia like that port of thing the proceedings of the G. A. It. will be Just the sort of thing they will like; but we think that many an old confederate veteran or veteran's son will bite his Up while the Grand Army oratory Is in free flow. The spellbinders of the G. A. R. are not of the chasm-bridging variety. Their "strongest holt" is in making treason odious, hanging Jeff Davis to a sour apple tree and pulling the tired leg of this great government for more pensions. If the Memphis Commercial had been about the National Encampment held here it would not have heard a word about Jeff Davis nor the people of the South denounced as rebels. The unreconstructed Commercial 13 misrepresenting the veterans of the late war. It 13 time that it should stop unless such tactics are necessary to keep the ranks of the Southern Democracy closed up. TOO LATE TO WAI1I1LE. Before the President called his Congress together to repeal the Sherman act, the people of the Seventh Indiana district learned through the press that their Representative, who has fallen into the somewhat aristocratic habit of dwelling apart from his consdtuents, like his leader. Mills, of Texas, had been considering the sliver question in the light of that higher statesmanship In which he thinks he is walking, and had come to the conclusion that there could be no greater evil for thl3 country than the free coinage of sliver. The Journal refers to the Hon. William D. Bynum. Moving in the atmosphere created by the plutocracy. of the Villards, the Sugar Trust and the Whisky Ring, to-wlt, the Distilling and Cattle-feeding Company, and basking in the sunlight of great expectations of Cleveland patronage, Mr. Bynum entirely lost sight of the "one-gallus Democracy" of Indiana, with which he grew up and communed until he was lured away by the idea of higher statesmanship which has caused him to dislike that brand of Democracy. Mr. Bynum put himself into the hands of the reporters. Indeed, he was not in luck the day that he did not pour his new views on the currency question into the notebook of two special correspondents and of an agent of the Associated Press. Mr. Bynum was not only in favor of the Immediate rej peal of the Sherman net, but he was unal terably opposed to the further coinage of sliver legal tender money. He had been studying the subject and had come to the conclusion that gold monometallism was the only sure money basis. He was in accord with the goldltes of Harvard, the elltors of the New York Evening Post and the New York Times, and with the eminent leaders In the Gladstone government, who had defeated the purpose of the last Inter

national monetary conference. Mr. Bynum was a full-grown gold bug. "Whether or not the oft-published declarations of Mr.

Bynum brought a share of the Cleveland patronage, the Journal does not know, j They should have done so, and would, doubtless, had not Senator Voorhees been so greedy and Insistent. Mr. Bynum has not announced in interview the recantation of his goldite views of last August and September. To the world he yet stands In the very limited and very exclusive ranks of the goldltes with a few of the President's mentors. Yet there are signs that Mr. Bynum Is fearful that the ultra-goldite will not find the Seventh district a congenial locality next November. In other words, Mr. Bynum Is in favor of that measure which that highclass New York Democrat, ex-Mayor Hewitt, aptly defines as a proposition "to coin a vacuum." He seems to think that, next to a single gold standard, is a silver dollar coined from silver which does not belong to the government It will not do, Mr. Bynum. The vacuum dodge will not do. The thousands of men who are Idle because of the Wilson bill, to use a significant popular phrase "have it In for you. The attentions which General Harrison Is receiving along his Journey to California are tho free and grateful tribute of the everyday people to a man who, while they may differ from him. they regard as .a patriot and a statesman vho deserves their esteem for having given the country one of the ablest and purest administrations It has ever had, and whose policy resulted In an unprecedented era of prosperity. Benjamin Harrison may not be "magnetic," but he enjoys the respect and the confidence of American people as few men have because they believe in his sagacity and admire his sturdy manliness. The decision of the" Board of Public Works not to allow the C, H. & D. Railroad Company to tap the Virginia-avenue viaduct and construct a roadway across it laterally Is in the direction of maintaining the original plan and purpose of the viaduct and conserving the rights of the public. No doubt the building of the viaduct has caused the railroad people embarrassment and loss, but whatever injury they have suffered should be made good in some other way than the one proposed. The death of Dr. W. F. Poole, librarian of the Newberry Library at Chicago, is a distinct loss to literature. He had been engaged in library work more than forty years, and next to Mr. Spofford, of the Library of Congress, was the best known librarian in the United States. Ills "Index to Periodical Literature" is a work of vast labor and great value. Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease, the Kansas scold, has reached the distinction of speaking in Cooper Institute New York, and having her picture in the metropolitan newspapers.

"So I am, he replied, "compared with her." The Duke of Fife, born of rich but noble parents, has added to his fortune more rapidly than any other royal personage.

Everyone present looked somewhat astonished at this, when Tennyson added with a smile, "with this great bump of benevolence of yours." Miss E. M. LIndley, a professional lecturer on dress reform, says that a woman does not require more than four pieces of clothing either winter or summer, viz., a pair of stockings, a union suit of undergarments, a pair of tights and a dress. No more beautiful tribute has ever been paid to a woman than that paid by Prof. Tyndall In a letter written to Herbert Spencer several years ago. In which he says of his wife: "She has raised my Ideal of the possibilities of human nature." Instead of the time-honored "Dearly Beloved" or "Brethren" in which the pulpit has always addressed its congregation, the famous Canon Body has introduced an innovation In one of the "highest" of English churches. He speaks to his hearers with the simple word "Gentlemen." The change is excitng discussion and free comment. Lord Dudley recently had a half starved workingman arrested for stealing a bucket of coal, the value of which was only 16 cents. When the case came to trial Chief Justice Coleridge dismissed the man, considering that sixteen days in Jail before trial was punishment enough. It Is this sort of thing that has incensed the common people against the House of Lords. When a club woman begins to burrow in libraries and among old statistics for data for her papers, very little escapes her search. A member of the Woman's Literary Club of Baltimore, contributing a paper on "The Booths" to an "afternoon with the authors and artists of Maryland," gave some points about the famous actor family that are certainly not in everybody's possession. The family was originally from Spain, of Hebrew extraction, the name being Cabana. When an ancestor settled in England he drolly translated it, for convenience Bake, into its English equivalent of booth, or bazar. Mr. Arthur Balfour, at a recent meeting of the Psychical Research Society, at the Westminster Town Hall, London, spoke for an hcur from only the briefest notes, and Is said to have made a profound impression, although he told no ghost stories and did not profess a belief in apparitions. His chief topic was animal magnetism, and he said that at dinner he had often sat next to ladles who proved to him that they were able, by the exercise of will power, to make any person at a distance turn toward them involuntarily. He remarked that it seemed possible to him that this faculty might be developed into a power of which ordinary philosophy takes very little note.

Washington Post. The press reports advise us of a truly tragic incident at Montreal, on Monday evening last. Mme. Patti was singing there, it appears, and presumably, with the same collection of interesting vocal ruins with which she delighted antiquarian appetite In Washington some weeks ago. The account of the affair from which wo obtain this thrilling information does not give us any particulars of the performance. We are told, simply, that the performance took place, and are referred for the harrowing detall3 to an Imagination recently stimulated by suffering. It was when the curtain fell that the real calamity occurred, for at that point the orchestra, unwilling to Inillct further torture upon an already miserable audience, refused to play "God Save the Queen," and incontinently bundled up their Instruments and fled. Of course there was a sensation. A loyal multitude. Indurated under repeated misfortune, rather regretted the omitted outburst. They stood up in embarrassed silence, so the awe-stricken chronicler declares, wondering what dreadful thing would happen next. The idea of a British audience going from a theater without at least one good done of "God Savo the Queen" to keep them from profane hilarity was too monstrous to be entertained. They looked at each other in dismay, and, perhaps, they would have been standing there in reverent anguish to this moment had not Lord Aberdeen come to the rescue by advancing to the front of his box and singing the pious anthem in a loud and strident voice. One by one the audience joined In, moved at first, no doubt, by a wild desire to keep from hearing his lordship, afterward, by the equally wild desire to keep from hearing anybody. And thus, with a howling hurricane of honest, if discordant, loyalty, the Incident was closed. We are unable to give any statement as to the orchestra. Whether they retired because they could bear no more; whether two hours of Patti and her troupe had reduced them to desperation, or whether they were in full possession of their senses and refused to invoke blessings on a Queen under whose dispensation such woe befell them, we do not pretend to say. We chronicle the tragic episode as It has come to us, and for whatever it may be worth. RENOUNCING A LUXURY.

The Spirit of Economy la Rapidly Substituting the Pipe for the Clnr. New York Tribune. The days have now come In fact, they came some time ago when the cigarsmoker has been compelled to "go light" on the weed In cigar form and to use instead a pipe. People who walk abroad with an observant eye cannot fall to. notice nowadays the great number of pipe-smokers In the streets. If they want an explanation of this they can be satisfied by calling upon any dealer in smokers' supplies. It is nothing but a sign of the hard times and an effort on the part of smokers to economize In their dearest luxury. A prominent dealer in pipes and cigars said a few days ago that his sales in cigars had fallen off nearly one-third in the last six months, and that his sales of pipes had increased in the same proportion. Pipe smoking has become a necessity. It Is not a fad, as is popularly supposed, and it will soon cease to be considered bad form to smoke a pipe in the street. Here are the figures of one young man who has given up some of his cigars and substituted a pipe in their place: Two boxes of cigars a month, JS. That was his former custom. Now it is one box of cigars, $3; two boxes of tobacco, 80 cents or a saving of $4.20 a month. This young man has not gone so far as some, who have eliminated vhe entire cigar item from their list of expenses and have put In its place less than a dollar a month for good pipe tobacco. A Club for Millionaires. Philadelphia Press. The palaces at Delhi will scarcely show more luxurious and costly adornment than was revealed to those who were fortunate enough to receive invitations to the opening of the new Metropolitan Club, or Millionaires' Club, as It Is commonly called, in New York. That exquisite and luxurious palace was opened to an invited public for Just one day, and when that throng had gone the doors were closed forever to any but the members or such friends as they may have who live more than fifty miles from New York; such persons, on proper Introduction, can be voted the privilege of the club for one week, but no New Yorker, unless he be a member, can dine In the great d!nlng room or be shown through the building hereafter.

ONLY TWO CONTESTS

Unusually Large Crowds Attend the Republican Primaries. List of the Delegates The Candidates to Go lielore the Township Convention This Morning:. The precinct primaries to elect delegates to the township convention to-day brought out unusually large crowds in all the precints last night. In every precinct there was a lanre and enthusiastic gathering. and In many there were lively contests for places on the delegation. There were only a few slates and combinations arranged and voted through the primaries, and in some others opposition to slates was of sufficient force to defeat them. By a large majority, however, the delegates selected represented the free choice of a majority of the voters of the prec'.nct. In a few precincts instructions were given for fa vored candidates, and resolutions were adopted in some. In the Fourteenth ward resolutions were adopted in condemnation of civil service. The thirty-second precinct Instructed Its delegates fr Craft and Rodebaugh. the one-hundreu and-twenty-sixth for J. L. McFarland, the one-hundred-and-fifth, seven ty-second, one-hundred-and-forty-fifth and sixty-first precincts instructed for Eugene Saulcy, and the seventeenth for Werbe. In the Tenth ward the usual contest came up from the one-hundredth precinct. The only other contest reported at the Marion Club, in accordance with the resolution adopted bv the committee, by 10:50 o'clock last n'irht waa one from the fifty-fifth prec'net of the Fifth ward.

The committee met at the Marion Club and heard the evidence from both sides and made their awards accordingly.

He Talks to Hiffh School Pupils About Italy and Italian Customs. Yesterday, in High School Hall. ex-Gor. Porter, late minister to Italy, addressed about five hundred of the High School pupils. Unlike the majority of people, he did not talk of Italy's famous paintings, statuary and palaces, but confined his remarks to the odd customs and queer manners of the Italians. He said the people in Rome make little preparation to protect themselves from the cold. Their fuel consists of small bundles of twigs, and consequently the houses are very uncomfortable on account of the cold. The absence of one thing Is especially noticeable. There are no milk wagons in Rome and the greater part of the milk used is furnished by goats. These are driven from house to house, and a little goat runs up even to the Tfth story of a house and is there milked. So the danger from impure milk is slight. In the narrow streets the little newsboys may be eeen with lanterns In the evenings, diligently searching the gutters for clg&r stumps. The government has control of the sale of tobacco, which makes it very expensive, and so this 13 the only opportunity the boys have to smoke. About CO per cent, of the Italian people can neither read nor write. To provide for this there ore professional letter writer, who will write the most effusive love letters for the sum of 2 cents. It is a very amusing sight to watch the pretty but ignorant girls when the letters they have haj written to their lovers are read to them. The xltion of the women Feems very strange to an American. They do all klnls of manual labor, and yet thiir lives are oulte happy. The younK women of tho lower classes are exceedingly beautiful, and this is due In part to their otidocr life The people have a novel way of insuring" kindness to animals. On t. Antonio's day the hordes and cattle are gaily deckel with ribbons and garlands, and are led rast a priest, who rprinkles each with holy water, thus teaching that as God loves animals man certainly ought. The lecturer closed with several amusing Incidents. The talk was greatly enjoyed by all the pupils, and they showed their appreciation by hearty applause. BoyH Home Ofllcera.
