Fh. 1 At o'clock tonight, at the conclusion of one of the grandest, moSt imposing and impress" v eenea ever witnsed in the American capitol. the Wilson tariff bill passed the house of representatives by a. vote of 204 to 110. Th events leading up to it were almost unparalleled in our annals. At 12 o'clock, after a preliminary skirmish of an hour over -th barley schedule, the hill was reported to th house anl the closing speeches were made. Such a vast concourse of people as assembled to hear these last arguments un the great economic issue about to le submitted for final arbitrament to the representatives of the AineritT.n people had never before been seen within the precincts of the nation's legislative capitol. Nothing: like it was ever known in the history of the oldest inhabitant of the capital. Surging .Mum of Humanity. For hours before the debate began the corridors leading to the galleries were a urging mass of humanity whleh finally became so great that mn cried out in terror and women fainted in fright. It .was estimated that over 0.0or attempted to eain admittance to the e-alleries of the house today. Their seating capacity is about 3.000, and every available seat was occupied long before the gavel dropped. The people were lined against the walls and banked against the doors; so great did the crush become that the members of the house secured permission to bring their wives upon the floor. Shortly after the house convened at 11 o'clock tho crowds in the immense gallery on the north side of the chamber became so great that here waa imminent danger that pome of the people would be pressed over the railing into the house below. Those in the corridors kept crushing into the doorways, and those still further back pressed forward tin til the stairs and aisles of the gallery were literally packed with a mob of restlose, impatient men. Race War Itesults. In one of the allies a fight was precipitated between two mn over the color question. One of the combatants waa a nepro, demanding his full rights as an American citizen, and the other was a white man making the Fame claim. Thla claim included the right to stand on the same square foot of territory, and as it was too small for both men, a race war resulted. The belligerents were hustled from the gallery as fast as the obstructing human wall would permit, and comparative quiet was soon restored. The crowding in at the doors, however, continued until Speaker Crisp, who had been nervously noting the dangerous packing of people, interrupted the roll call long enough to say that it was in the interest of safety to human life that the doorway should be cleared. lie asked the doorkeeper of the gallery to clear out some of those who stood in the entrances, bo as to make those already inside as comfortable as possible without being in danger. It was next to Impossible, however, to at once execute this order, as there was absolutely no room for the ejectment of those who had found entrance Into the aisles, but the policemen kept pressing back the people until they had materially reduced the danger that was so very apparent. When Mr. Reed, the first speaker, arose at last to deliver the final plea for protection the overhanging galleries were b!ack and dense with the spectators who thronged them. Every Inch of space upon the floor was taken. It was a brilliant, as well as a large assembly. Only ten of the 3C4 memWs of the house were absent; many grave and reverened senators and other distinguished personages were on the floor, and in the galleries were Mrs. Cleveland. Mrs. VicePresident Stevenson and other ladies of eminence and distinction, their dresses flecking the landscape with color. Reed, Crisp, Wilson. Then for three hours the oratory of the champions of the two economic systems followed Reed. Crisp and Wilson while their partisans made the air vocal with their shouts of approval. The appearance of the speaker of the house upon the Soor engaged In debate was In
Itself a remarkable as well as an unusual thing. Each of the speakers seemed to be in his b.st form, and the speeches which they delivered today will rank among the most brilliant of their lives. When these were finished Mr. Wilson, who spoke last, was lifted on the shoulders of his admiring colleagues and carried triumphantly from the hall amid scene of unmatched enthusiasm. When it came to voting the victory for the measure was overwhelming. The vote upon the Income tax proposition (taken in connection with the internal revenue amendment) stood 182 to 50. Only twelve republicans voted upon this proposition, seven for and five against. The democratic opposition amounted to forty-five. Effort to Reoommit Falls. The last effort was made by thope democrats who are opposed to the measure in whole or in part, led by Mr. Covert of ,'w York, to recommit the bill, hut the republicans refused to join in this attempt to scotch the measure, and It ended in dismal failure. But thirty-six democrats voted for It, not even enough to secure the yeas and nays a record-making vote. The vote upon the final passage of the bill was a surprise. Amid the most intense enthusiasm, democrat after democrat, who had been counted upon to vote against the measure, like Ulanchard. Beltzhoover, Boatner, Cockran, Coombs, Dunn, English. Geissenhai ner. McAleer, Ryan and others, recorded their votes in the affirmative. Only seventeen demounts of all the boasted democratic opposition to the measure stood out to the end and voted against it. As each one cat his vote it was greeted by applause and choers from the republican side. Those who voted against it were Bartlett, Campbell, Cummings, Haines. Hewdrix. Sehermerhorn and Sickles of New York, Cadmus of New Jersey, Sperry and Page of Connecticut; Geary of California, Sibley of Pennsylvania and Davey, Meyer, Price and Robertson of I-ousi-ana. The majority for the bill, sixtyfour, exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the democratic m.enilers of the ways and nieatu committee. When the spanker announced the vote cheer after cheer upon the democratic side, papers, congressional records and, in fact, everything which democrats could lay their hands on were flung high in the air, and amid perfect pandemonium of joy the house adjourned.
the mocEEimt's i ijktaii Ex-speaker fiord Closes the Debate for the Republicans. The speaker rflscendd the rostrum ;it 12 o'clock and the gavel was passed to him. Mr. Richardson moved around to the area in front of the speaker's chair, and according to parliamentary formula reported that the committee of the wind.' had had iiiuLt consideration house biii 4?4 (tariff billt, and reported it to the house with sundry amendments. The speaker then announced that thr e hours would be allowed for closing tho debate. "The chair recognizes the gentleman from Maine." said the speaker, with a. last rap of the gavel for -rder. Mr. Reed rose from the center of the republican side amid Ihe wild cheering and hand-clapping of the galleries and the house. Mr. Reed frowned and shook his head a.s though the demonstration as distasteful to him. lie waited for the applause to ease. Standing in the aisl", clad in a long Prinze Albert coat with head erect and defiant, he looked the physical and intellectual giant. He began to speak at last, slowly and deliberately, in the voice that has Income so familiar to the people. There is an aggressiveness in Mr. Reed's speech which counts for more than rhetoric, lie spoke today with his back to his friends, his face to the foo across the aisle. SaV" for his ringing voice, the drop of a pin could have bn heard. He said: "In this debate, which has extended over many weeks, one remarkable result has already been reached, a result, of the deepfpt importance to this country. The result is that the bill lefore us is odious to both sides of the house. It meets wth favor nowhere, and commands the respect of neither party. On this side, we l-lieve that while it pretends to be for protection, it ds not afford it. and on the other side', they believe that while it looks toward free trade it dovs not accomplish it. Those who will vote against this bill will do so because it opens our markets to the destructive competition of foreigners, and those, who vote for it will instantly devote themselves to a new crusade against whatever barriers are left. Whatever speeches have been made in defense of the bill, on the other sid , whether by gentlemen who are resonsible only to their own constituency, or by the gentleman from West Virginia, who ought to have been steadied by his sense of responsibility to the whole country, have one and all. with but rare exceptions, placed their authors uncompromisingly, except for temporary purposes, on the side of unrestricted free trade. "It Is evident that there is no ground for that hope, entertained by so many moderate men, that this bill, bad as it is. will be a testing place where nir manufacturing and productive indnstries, sueh as may surv ive, can re-establish themselves and have a sure foundation for the luture. free from party bickering and iarty strife. Hence also there can bo no foundation for that crv. so insidiously raised, that this bill should be passed at once because uncertainty is worse than any bill can possibly he. Were this bill to pass both branches today, uncertainty would reign just the same. So utterly undisputed, and so distinctly visible to every human being In this audience, has been our growth and. progress, that whatever the future industrial system of this country may be, the past system is a splendid monument to that successful statesman who found the country bankrupt and di? traded and left it first on the list of nations." Mr. Reed quoted at length from English authorities, showing the strength of their confidence in the prosperity of this country. Mr. Reed eulogized this market as being the best in the world, owing to the high wages paid here, enabling workmen to purchase largely of the comforts of life. "But what do you say about the farmer? Well, on that subject I do not profess any special learning, but there is one simple statement I wish to make and leave the question there. If, with J).

I ckles growing up like magic, manufact
uring villages dotting every eligible site, each and all swarming with mouths to be filled, the producers of food are worse off than when half this country was a desert, I abandon sense in favor of political economy. One other thing I have noticed In this debate. When the gentleman from Kansas (Mr. Simpson) gets a little money ahead he does not put it into stocks in these immensely profitable manufactories; he has too much sense. He adds to his farm and has told us so. Example is richer than precept. If the hope of agriculturists is lu English free trade they had better ponder on the fact that while the wages of artisans have increased in England $2.43 per week since 1850, the wages of agricultural laborers have only increased 72 cents, and while the Lancashire operatives in the factories live as well as anybody else except Americans, the agricultural laborers are hardly better off than the continental peasantry. England's example will not do for agriculture. "Here Jet me meet one other question, and let me meet it fairly. We are charged with having claimed that the tariff alone will raise wages. We have never made such a claim In any form. Free-traders have set up that claim for us la order to triumphantly knock it over. What we do say is that where two nations have equal skill and equal appliances and a market nearly equal, and one of them can hire labor at onehalf less, nothing but a tariff can maintain the higher wages, and that we can prove. We are the only rival that England fears, for we alone have in our borders the population and the wages, the raw material and within ourselves the great market which Insures to us the most improved machinery. Our con-f-tant power to increase our wages insures us also continuous progress. "If you wish us to follow the example of England. I say yes. with all my heart; but her real example, and nothing less. Iet us keep protection, a.s she did, until no rival dares to invade our territory, and then we may take our chances for a future which by that time will not I unknown. "Nobody knows so well as I do now how much I have failed to present even my own comprehension of the great argument which should control this vote. I have said not a word of the great fall of prices, which has always come from the competition of the whole world, rendered possible by protection and substituted for the competition of a single island. I have said not a word of the great difference between theattitude of employers who find their own workmen their best customers in their own land, and who are, therefore, moved by their own h st interests to give their workmen fair wnges. and those who sell abroad and arc therefore anxious for low wages at home, and on whom works unrestrictedly that pernicious doctrine as wages fait, profits rise. These and much more have I omitted, for there is ; a limit to all speaking. ; "We know, my friends, that befor this tribunal we all of us plead in vain. : Why we fail lt those answer who read the touching words of Abraham l.ini coin's first inaugural, and remembep i that Iv pleüded in vain with these same , men and their predecessors. Where he failed we can not expect to succeed. But though we fail here today, like our great leader of other days, in the larger field before the mightier tribunal which will finally and forever decide the question, we shall more than conquerors; tr this great nation, shaking off as it has once before th influence of a lower civilization, will go on to fulfill its high destiny, until over the South, as ; well as over the North, shall be spread j the full measrre of that amazing pros- ; perity which is the wonder of the j world." j Rom for Iteel. j His closing reference to that former I illustrious leader, Lincoln, was made in j a low voice, which could hardly havL i been caught had not n-ery car on the i floor and in the galleries been strained I to cat eli eyery word. As he closed, his j left hand was raised high in one of thj f-w peMurvs which had marked his ! speech. As his hand fell and the spe'h j closed there was a burst of applause, j which swelled inlo a tumultuous demon- : st rat ion as the enthusiastic galleries t gave shouts, hurrahs anil sharp whistles, j which are often heard in theaters but seldom in the halls of congress. Mr. Uoed bowed his acknowledgement to the demonstration, and without resuming hi seat or waiting for the hands extended to congratulate him, made his way back to the republican cloak-room. Half way up the aisle he was met by a page bearing a huge basket of American Beauty and La France ro;cs. Again he 1 lowed his acknowledgements as the flowers brought out another round of applause. The roses wen- placed on Mr. Rood's desk and he retired to the cloakroom, where he was the center of congratulatory demonstration by his colleagues, lasting many minutes. SPKAKKR CTIIST f THE FLOOR, The Protective Sjolrm for the Mannfnrtnrlnfc Climei An Omtlnn. While the demonstration was goingon Speaker Crisp relinquished the chair to Mr. Hatch of Missouri and assumed the old seat which he occupied in the days before he was elevated to the speakership. He received an ovation. The speaker is symmetrical in form. dignitl?d in bearing, with a broad, well-poised head, fringed with a touch of silver hair on the sides, upon a pair of square shoulders. lie looked the judicial-minded man he is. Until he warmed up, he spoke with the hesitation of a man weighing each word, and with a perceptible tremor of the lip. As he became aroused, however, h" displayed more freedom and ease, until the words came in a perfect torrent. As Mr. Crisp proceeded he was given generous applause by his democratic associates on the floor, but his points were of an argumentlve character which appealed to the students of the quettion rather than to the galleries. He rea l fnom the minority report and criticised that feature that declared the foreigners paid the tax. In particular the speaker addressed himself to the e.-speaker, although the latter was still held in the cloak room by the congratulatory handshakes. Mr. Crisp said: "I feel embarrassed by this vast audience here assembled; embarrassed In the idea that I may not be able to fulfill the expectation of my friends when 1 undertake, in the period allowed by .the rules of the house, to answer, to reply to, and make corrections of the errors in the arguments to which we have just listened.. I assume that the cause of protection has no more able advocate and that the arguments for protection can be put in no more forcible form than that to which you have listened today, and I shall ask you dispassionately to examine with me that argument and then ask the Judgment of the house as to whether the cause attenqited to be sustained can be established consistently with right and justice to the people of the United States." After his opening introductory remarks. Mr. Crisp declared that an examination of the protective system would show that while it was built up for the ostensible benefit of labor, it was in truth constructed for the benefit of the manufacturing classes. He pointed out that the wages of the laborers In protected Industries went up, as a result of the McKinley act. This was shown by the statistics gathered by the senate committee on finance. The speaker referred to the artificial conditions created by protection. It took men, he said, from their natural chanr.els. and diverted them to unnatural channels. The same was true in the diversion made In the channels of trade. Protection was a Chinese wall which not only shut out the world, but shut in the United States. Mr. Crisp was greeted with applause when he said that the thirty years of protection was the period of unrest during which the masses of the people had constantly rebelled against the heavy burdens of taxation. The people had always been stilled at the polls by the republican promises to reduce the tariff but 'once successful at the polls, the re-
publioan legislators surrendered themselves, body and soul to the manufacturing classes. Mr. Crisp supported the income tax In vigorous terms. He said that $30,000.000 of tax on' accumulated wealth was but a small tribute in return for the benefits received. Mr. Crisp closed with an eloquent appeal to his democratic associates to waive minor objections and to look at the great democratic principles involved. "Let us stand together, said he; "let us redeem our pledges Let us pass this bill, and it will carry gladness to the consuming masses, to the farmer, to the laborer and to the American people." There was a triple round of applause as the speaker closed. A page walked toward him with ted fl-nvrrs above surlounded with white roses below. The applause continued for more than a minute, during which Mr. Crisp was warmly congratulated. He left the body of the house and returned to tho speaker's desk.
OVATION TO CTIAIRM.W WII.SOV. After His Speech Knthnltlc Members Hoist Him on Their .Shoulders. Mr. Wilson at once arose to clce the debate. He was greeted with great cheers. He showed no signs of the fatigue to which he has leen subjected. He was in fine voice and In animated spirits, which permitted him to open with humorous and sarcestic replies to Mr. Burrows of Michigan and Mr. Dolliver of Iowa, which were greatly relished by tho house. Mr. Wilson said Mr. R?ed had forsaken his usual course of congressional procedure and had recited a set oration with the old set praises of protection "sicklied o'er with the pale hue of philosophy." Turning to the subject in hand Mr. Wilson eloquently portrayed the advance of freedom. This bill, he said, was but one of those advances. No McKinley bill could stem the advance of human progress. Great causes could not be laughed or ridiculed away and the gentleman from Maine could not draw from his armory of sarcasm and wit in order to stop the advance of this cause of lightening the burdens of taxation. Mr. Wilson then related the story of the English herring merchant who wrote to Sir Robert Peel that he did not want free trade as to herring as it would let in Norwegian herring, but that on other goods he was a thorough free-trader. Mr. Wilson appealed to his fellow democrats not to allow any herring arguments to impede the movement toward the overthrow of the protective system. Referring to an Income tax. Mr. Wilson said he had not wanted it attached to this bill, but one so attached he supported it with all the loyalty which he could command. There was continued applause as Mr. Wilson denied the charges of sectionalism in the bill. He said that, the animatingfeeling of those who had framed this bill was to make this country one in which one man would not be taxed for another, one jn which religion, science, culture and education would go hand in hand a.s the common untaxed heritage of every citizen. Mr. Wilsons glowing peroration aroused Hie democrats and galleries to the highest pitch of enthusiasm and the demonstration which followed his last words has seldom been equaled in the house. The whole democratic side rose to its fee. Itooks and records were thrown into the air. cheet after cheer was given and lli people jn the galleries joined with voice and hands in the tribute. ' Before Mr. Wilson could sit down three of the democratic members, bubbling over with enthusiasm Messrs. Johnson of Ohio, Tucker of West Virginia and Bryan f Nebraska rushed up the aisle, lifted Mr. Wilson upon their shoulders and carried him in triumph to the rear of the i m 1 1 where for ten minutes he listened to the words of praise that were showered upon him. It was a remarkable demonstration in every respect. a oTi; o the mi. i,. Ynrinnn AiiioikI mriiti I)icrl of Prior to tin Phiikc. The time had now arrived to vote on the bill and pending amendments. But the disorder mks so great that the ser-geant-at-arms was called upon to clear the aisl-'s and the wives of members who hal been allowed upon the Moor were obliged to retire. It tr.k twenty minutes to restore order so that the public business could proceed. The speaker then announced tha: there were two pending amendments that of th committee on ways and means to increase the duty on barley fiom 20 to 23 per cent, ad valorem and on barley mait from 2.1 to 3-1 per cent., and the amendment of Mr. Taw i,ey to increase the duty to 22 cents per bushel on barley and 32 cents on barley malt. The first vote was taken on the Tawney amendment, which was lost upon a vea and nay vote by 120 to !?7. The committee amendment was then agreed to 202 to 101. although a number of democrats, including Messrs. Ixckwood. New York: McCreary, McMillin, Warner, Rland. Wheeler, Alabama, and Wol verton voted against it. The speaker then announced that the vote was upon the amendments adopted by the committee of the whole. Mr. Johnson of Ohio demanded a separate vote on the wool and woolen amendments, Mr. English of New Jersey upon the income tax and upon the petroleum amendment. The other amendment?. Including that amendment abolishing the bounty on sugar and that placing refined sugar on the free list were then agreed to in bulk without division. The first amendment which Mr. Johnson desired a separate vote upon was that placing wool upon the free list mmediately upon the passage of the bill. This amendment having been vitiated by a later amendment placing the date at Aug. 2. a point of order was raised that the latter amendment must first b voted upo.i, but after some discussion the chair decided that the Johnson amendment must first be voted upon to perfect the text, and that the real test would come upon the amendment to strike out the words 'immediately after the passage of the bill," and insert "on and after Aug. 2," the Johnson amendment was therefore agreed to without division. The other amendment was agreed to 20.1 to 147. Mr. Johnson tried to get the yeas and nays, but could only muster five votes to his aid. The amendment fixing the date as Dec. 2 when the manufactured woolen schedule should go into effect was also adopted, 200 to 130. Mr. Johnson again being unable to secure the ayes and nays, the vote was Signs 'of Health.

Mr. Cockran demanded the ayes and nays upon this amendment. It was significant that the republicans refused to second the demand for the ayes and nays, but enough democrats axope (."d) to oider the roll-call. It was then found that the Income tax could not bo voted upon a.s a separate proposition, the speaker deciding in accordance with a precedent which he cited that the internal revenue amendment could not be divided. The vote therefore was upon the entire rejection of the internal rev-' enue amendment. The republicans, with few exceptions, refused to vote, but the amendment including the income tnx was adopted 1S2 to ,"0. The populists voted in .the affirmative, us did the following republicans: Bowers of California, Fletcher of Missouri. Hartman of Montana. Marsh of Illinois.

The last stage in the passage of th? bill had been reached when Mr. Covert (democrat of New York), standing in the center aisle, moved to recommit the bill to the committee with instructions "to report it back with such ymeud .nents as will provide by duties levied on imports for such additional revenue as may b" necessary lo the support of the government economically administered." Upon that motion Mr. Cockran de. manded tin ayes and nays, but only thirty-six democrats rose -to second the demand iprinoinally those who voted against the income tax. together with the Louisiana sugar men), not a sufficient number. The motion to recommit was then defeated on a rising vote, KM to 177. Then cam a the final vote on the bill itself, on which a yea and nay vote was asked and granted by a rising vote. The roll-call was watched with marked attention, and frequent bursts of applause greeted accessions to one side or the other. Reltzhoover of Pennsylvania was the first to win applause by his aye vote, Indicating that the Pennsylvanians were falling into line. Immediately after this Rlanchard of Louisiana was applauded as he voted aye and showed that the Louisiana opposition to the bill was not intact. Mr. Cockran's vote in favor of the bill brought out tumultuous cheering. The climax of the demonstration was reached when the name of Mr. Wilson, author of the bill, was reached, the democrats cheering vociferously, a final recognition of his leadership! The speaker asked that his name be callKl. and he answered in the affirmative. Then the speaker annotinced "on this question the ayes are 201 and the noes are 140, and the bill is passed." M ILL ACT ll ICKLY. The Senate AVIII ot Delay the Tariff Hill. BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL. WASHINGTON. D. C. Feb. 2. The Wilson tariff bill will be referred by the senate committee on finance to a sub-committee composed of McPherson of New Jersey. Mills of Texas, Jones of Arkansas and Vest of Missouri, all ardent tariff reformers, and the bill, as it passed the house, will not be changed much in the committee. All the democrats on the committee except McPherson represent states whose delegations in the house voted solidly for the income tax amendment. They voted that way because they voiced the sentiment of the people of their respective states on the income tax question, and for this reason it is sale to predict that he senators from thoso states will not act contrary to the wish of their constituents and will vote for the income tax amendment. The Wilson bill will be reported to the senate by the committee with the income tax feature, and it will pass that body In that shape. The house would never agree to strike out the Income tax feature. It is expected that the Louisiana senators will endeavor to put a tax on sugar, and that Senator Gorman and one or two other senators will try to restore a tariff on coal, but even if successful the house would never accede to taking coal, sugar, ore and lumber off the free list. The bill will become a law with free raw material and an income tax, and the man is not born who will see it stricken from the statute books. There Is some talk of considering the bill In the senate for six weeks or two months, but this delay would surely arouse public Indignation regardless of party and the cry of "vote," "vote," which will soon be heard all over the land, will cause the grave senators to cut their long-winded speeches to the galleries and give the country an opportunity to resume business. Senator Voorhees, who will have charge of the bill on the floor of the senate. Is very anxious to bting the bill to a vote, and by the middle of March a vote can be looked for.

Mr. Rynum spok on the provision of the internal revenue bill extending the bonded period from five to elpht year.". He contended that the 10 cents Increase on whisky -would not coiiiponsalo the government for the losses it would sustain by reason of the other provisions. In the first place the !') tents per gallon tax which now beronies dye at the end of three years is to bo extended to eight years, thereby gjving the distillers live years at the rate of about 2 per cent. In addition to tnis the percent of loss by evaporation Is extended and by this the government would lose tho tax on about four gallons additional of spirits. which would absorb all the iiu-tv-ase of tax provided, ko that practically the government would be ext'-ndine' the time of the payments of the tax live years without any remuneration whatever. The government would simply be carrying the output of whisky for the distillers. which would be becoming more valuable all the time by aginpr. Denlt n Ouahfnc Blow. Under the leadership of Meysrs. Bynnm and Outhwaite the house dealt a. crushing blow at the arrogant whisky trust, which demanded an extension of five years to pay the whisky tax. In opposing this extension Mr. Bynutn had to split with the ways and means committee. Judge Ilolman represents a. district that distills more whisky than th whole remainder of the state, but he is also the watch-dog of the treasury and a.s a faithful watch-do he cast local interests aside and ably supported Bynum in his effort to save millions of dollars to the government annually. Bretz. Cooper, McNagney, Conn. Rrookshire and Taylor also stood up with Bynum and Ilolman and were counted acainst tho proposition to grant an unreasonable and unjust demand of the whisky trust. Representative Bynum was the pole member from the ways and means committee to actively oppose the extension. Chairman Wilson being ill. and the moral effect of a member of the ways and means committee leadinsr the firht. against the whisky supporters was telling. The Indiana delegation can always be relied upon to stand by the government. Ir. Itvnnm'n Amendments. Mr. Bynum secured the adoption of two amendments to the incom tax bill of vital importance. One is that in making their returns farmers shall deduct the cost of production of their crops, atso indebtedness on live stock sold. The effect is that a farmer deriving an Income of over $4.0H) for crops or stock sold can deduct the cost of production, so after his deduction has been made if his income is still over $1,000 he will pay 2 per cent, on the excess of $1,000. It is safe to say that not one farmer out oi one thousand in Indiana will pay an Income tax. The other Bynum amendment provides that inheritances exceeding $4,000 shall be taxed a.s incomes, but this only applies to personal property, money, notes, bonds, etc., so that if a Trson should Inherit say $10,00 In money, bonds, etc., he would have to pay 2 per cent, on 5,000. If this law had prevailed when the Oould children inherited their millions from the railroad king's estate over $100,000 would have been collected by the government on the Gould estate as a tax and why not? Has not the government spent thousands in protecting the Gould railroads? The Bynum amendmn alone will bring in a revenue to the treasury of over $8,000,000 annually. Vote on the Wtlaon Bill Today. Tomorrow the Wilson tariff bill with the Income tax feature will pass the house by a safe vote, estimated at 40. The sugar trust lobby arrived this afternoon and an attempt will be made when the bill is reported to the house to reconsider the vote by which the H-cent duty on unrefined was eliminated from the bill. This Vs-cent duty, which the McKinley, bill retained, is all that has kept the sugar trust alive and the trust will diehard. But on a vote to reconsider the ayes and noes are called and few members will dare to go on record for the sugar trust. The trust is dead as far a.s the house has the power to kill it. Arrong those who made good hits in favor of the income tax today was Mr. Bretz of Indiana. Catarrh, throat and lung treatment. Conwilt Dr. Jordan, 36 W. YVash-St. Consultation free.

Satnlli Tli Troobl' und Its SefjTiel. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. Feb. 2. A few nichts sine Ir. Teslio K. Keley of Dwight. 111., lectured here and be wa indorsed and assisted by many prominent. mot in the twin cities. Archbishop Ireland was announced lo Knoak, but did not do so, giving no explanation. The p.ev. M. E. Morrill of Calvary baptist church was originally announced to oport the mooting with prayer. He Aid not d so. but he spoke, and it is said that therein lies the reason for the nonappearance or Archbishop Ireland ami the absence of the cathulio clergy on Um platf mm. The meetinc was in charge of the l.tdies auxiliary of Ihe Keeley league i;i tins city. Tliy h;d completed all arrangements and then a kick came. Tho catholic clergy were opiKsed to the Rev. G. I. Morrill owning the meeting witj 1 -rayer. The Jadie debated and decide,! to get the Rev. Mr. Monill to relinquish the openinp prayer, but insisted that Ihb should fpcs'.k. And so Archbishop Ireland was conspicuous by his absencq. The Rev. J. M. Cleary had notified th auxiliary of Archbishop Ireland's objection to Mr. Morrill, and today regarding? th matter made the following statement: "On the Monday preceding the mee. in$r we were informed that Mr. Morrill was to open the meeting with prayer. To this we objected at once. We hav no objection to -meeting 3113- reputabli clerpyman of any demonination. either in discussion or on occasions like tb Keeley affair. But the entire catholic clergy are opposed to Morrill, whom they onsider a theotrleal mountebank in tlm pulpit and whose language is thaX of a blackguard and a. dHcxac to his cabling. We decline 10 met sneh a man on an equal footing and give him tlw prestige of our presence." Father Cleary showed a letter from Archbishop Ireland explaining to the ladie.s of the auxiliary his position in regard to Mr. Morrill. The following is quotation: "We do not desire to have Morrill put off the program, but we will Ftay ojf ourselves. It would suit our convenience to have Morrill remain." Father Clean emphatically denied thajt a question of creeds had anything to di with the matter. He continued: "There was no call for religious formalities. The question of temperance is one of public morals and it should be aided by all churches. Tt is not a church ly question. We have no war to wage cu any Protestant minister, but we do decline to sit on the same platform with, a man like Morrill, to whom 110 position or condition is sacred. Take Morrill's speech on New Year's night, in which he used villainous language toward Mgr. Satolli. who has gained a reputation fo tact, culture and refinement on both continents a man who strictly minds his own business. To gain notoriety; on such, a basis is shameful and Morrill needs a severe and public rebuke. The time haa come when all decent people regard losa of creed should turn their backs upou the villifior." The sreech which Father Cleary denounces Mr. Morrill for delivering wan given before the local Orange society, and the part referring to Satolli was aa follows: "So far as I understand the A. P. A. it stands for morality, for education, and does not believe that ignorance should be the basis of our devotions. It believes that an Italian dago, Satolli by name, should not undertake to dictate to the American people how they should be educated. My advice to Satolli is to com here and enter a country district school. Let him learn his A B C's until he can. analyze tr.e sentence. 'When a man attempts to hammer down the American flag, shoot him on the spot.' Then let him stay here six months and get naturalized; then let him send for his wlf and children and set up decent housekeeping. In the rreantime we will t able to get along without his advice." may be cured. We treat all cxnal disorders of men.
