A SENSATIONAL ATTACK. Senator Tillman Hotlj Denounces President Cleveland. Washington, Jan. 30.—The event of the day in tlie senate Wednesday was tho speech of Senator Tillman (dem., S. C.), ostensibly in favor of the free coinage substitute for the house bond bill, but really in denunciation of the president, and of the secretary of the treasury. Senator Tillman charged that the financial derangement and all the cry about sound money were part and paroel of a damnable scheme of robbery, having for its ob-

SEXATOR TILLMAN. ject first the utter destruction of silver as a money metal; second, the increase of the public debt by the issue of gold bonds, and third, the surrender to corporations of the TK>vver to issue all paper money and to give them a monopoly of that filiation. Such a torrent of invective has seldom been heard in the Semite as that in the speech of Senator Tillman. Veteran members of the body characterized the speech as one of the most reinarkable in the history of the upper branch of congress. It abounded in statements of a sensational character, arranging President Cleveland, Secretary Carlisle and other men in high places. There was a direct ness of statement and a dramatic manner of delivery which awed floor and galleries. Senator Tillmgn quoted from Mr. Cleveland’s letter of acceptance, and commented upon it in these words: “There is nothing here which would warrant one to expect that the’leader of the democratic party, its head and guide, would ignore the platform and treat with contempt tho trusted lieutenants whom the people had sent to the national capital to assist in shaping the party's policy. The language would lead us to expect the very reverse. How many of these reasonable expectations have been met? How many of you, men grown old and gray in the service of the party and o? the nation, men who were its trusted leaders before Cleveland was ever heard of, how many, I say, have been called into hlr councils? If any, speak; I shall be glad to hear them. Where has this man sunk his personality? Whom has he consulted? Whose advice has he recognized? None but that of the bootlicks and sycophants, who have crawled on their knees for the crumbs of patronage and betrayed their constituents for the offices in his gift. In the entire history of this country the high office of president has never been so prostituted and never has the appointing power been so abused. Claiming to be the apostle of civil service reform, lie has debauched the civil service by making appointments qnly of those whose sponsors would surrender their manhood and with bated breath walk with submissive head in Ills presence. With relentless purpose lie has his oath of office to uphold and obey the law and has paid out gold instead of coin and Isued bonds to buy more geld, by both actions overriding the law and giving no heed to the interests of any but his moneyed friends—l might say his owners or partners.

Further on in discussing the gold question he said: "Rothschild and hts Amerloan ac-ents graciously condescend to com* to the help of the United States treasury In maintaining the gold stanaard, which has wrought the ruin, and only charges a small commission of J 10.000.000 or so. Great God! That this proud government the ricnest, most powerful on the globe, should have been brought to so low a pass that a T.ondon Jew should have been appointed Its receiver and presumes to patronize us. ■'The responsibility of providing revenue and looking after the solvency of the treasury, which rests with congress, has been usurped by the president. Why is he not Impeached? "If the secret history of the year 1593 shall ever be written. It will disclose the fact, which cannot be proved now, but of v h|ch I have not the slightest doubt, that the gold ring of New Turk, which embraces nearly all the bankers In the eastern and middle states and the stock gamblers of Wall street, controlled the presidential nominations of both the democratic and republican parties, and had an understanding with the managers or with the candidates themselves In regard to what policy should be pursued toward our finances. 5 hey contributed money for the booming of Mr. Cleveland as the only available democratic candidate, and they abused and ridiculed every otaer democratic aspirant. "There had been no trouble with the gold reserve, and no hint of any loss of confidence In the national credit un*il about the time of the last presidential election. The financial papers took up the cry of tho country going to a sliver basis and the first premonitory breezes of the panic of 1893 swept over the lard and the conspirators fomented It by every possible means. "The encroachments of the federa Judiciary and the suplneness and venalitycorruption, I may say—of the representative branches of the government are causes of deep concern in all thinking and patriotic men. We arc fast drifting into government ~y Injunction In the interests of monopolies and corporations, and the supreme court, by ono corrupt vote, annuls an act of congress lopking tc the taiatlon of the rich. "The struggle from 1861 to 1565. which drenched this fan land. In blood, was to emancipate 4.000,000 black slaves. We are fast approaching a condition which will Place the collar of. Industrial bondage aiound the necks of ten times that many white slaves. A day of reckoning will come unless thete la no longer a God In Heaven, and whoa it does come, woe be unto those who have been among ti e oppressors of the people.” Senator Tillman spoke of Secretary Carlisle as “that Judas from Kentucky who had in liis old age come to a pitiful pass,” and referred' to the other two southern members of the cabinet (the secretaries of the navy anil of the interior) as “Apostates from the principle.’’ At Annecy, in Savoy, in digging the foundation for anew house, a large flagstone was found covering an old cellar, in which was a large collection of fragments of sculpture. They came from the 12tli century monastery of the Holy Sepulchre, which was destroyed during the French.revolution. Many of the pieces can be repaired. An Irish loyalist club lias been formed in London with tho object of forming a bond of union between loyalists in London and their fellow loyal Irishmen in other parts of the empire.

Studious “New Woman/' Important news! With heads bowed down tfcey read it o’er and o'er; From line to line they slowly pass, and o’er each item pore. Each paragraph seems weighted down with news that calls for thought, And now and then from lovely lips are exclamations caught. Perchance the complications of the nation give them pause; Perchase they read of Cuba and her strong and righteous cause; Again, It may be Turkey and her foul, revolting crimes That claim the dole attention of these women of the times. It may, of course, be politics, or problems of the state; It may be talk of further bot.ds, or subjects quite as great; It may be—but it isn’t; for a glance will hardly fall To show It’s nothing but an “ad” for some big bargain sale. —Chicago Post. ▲ Song of Work.
