A DAY OF EULOGIES; Public Business In the United State* Be#5 ate Laid Aside lor a Time for the fur5 pose of Listening to Baloglea on the Late Senator Heck. of Kentucky—Political Friend and Foe Alike Do Honor to the Memory and Character of the Dead Senator. ^riSHiSGTdiij A tig. 39.—The Senate met lit iioon to-day With the understanding that the day’s session should Va (ldvoted to eulogies of the late Serf; ator Beck, of kentneky. Mr. BlaCkburrt mitdo the opening address—an eloquent tribute to the high Character, broad statesmanship and to ree and domestic virtues of the dead Senator. Alr.ingalTs fo)lowlnr,said Mr.Beck’s career could not be considered otherwise than as Sitrordinary and of singular and great dis* Unction, lie ltad departed, lie had no Tote nor voice; but the consideration Of great fneasnres, affecting the interests of every citizen of the republic; is interrupted kith the concurrence and approval Of all; that the Representatives of forty-two commonwealths may rehearse the virtues and commemorate the career Of an associate who U beyond the reach of praise of Cetfsure In the kingdom of the dead. Thje right to live 19, In human estimation, the most sacred, the most inviolable, the most inalienable. The Joy of living,la such a splendid and luminous day as this, is inconceivable. To exist In eXnltatlon, to live forever is our sublimes! hope: Annihilation, extinotion and eternal death are the foirbodings of despair. Nations will die and.hH individuals will disappear from the earth. With the disappearance of man from the earth all traces of his existence will be lost. The places to whieh he has reached, the institutions he lias established, the cities he has builded, the books he lias written, tbe ,-eeda he lias constructed, the pbildeaphfes he lias formulated—all science, al|L literature and knowledge—will be obliterated and engulfed into empty and vacant oblivion. The great globe itself, all which it inherits, shall dissolve, and like this unsubstantial pageant fade and leave not a sign. • - ^ There Is an Intelligence so vast and enduring that the fleeting interval between the birth and dentil of universes is no more than the flash of fire-flies above the meadows of Summer^ a'colossal power by which thesd Stupendous orbs are launched in the abysS, like bubbles blown by a child In tho morning sun, and whose sense of justice and reason can not be less potential than those immutable stututes that are tbe law of being to the creatures'‘he has made, and which compel them to declare that If the only object of creation is destruction; It infinity is the theater of an uninterrupted series of irreparable calamities. It tbe final cause of life is death, then time is an inexplicable tragedy and eternity an illogioal and indefensible catastirbphe. This obseqny, said Mr. Ingalls In conclusion, is for the quick and not for the dead. It is not an Inconsolable lamentation. It ia a sti iug of triumphs. It is an affirmation to those who survive that as onr departed associate, contemplating.at the close of his life, thu monument of good deeds he had erected, more enduring than brass and loftier than the pyramids of kings, might - exclaim with the Roman poet non omnia atoriur, and turning to the silent and unknown fntuie, lie could rely, with Jost and reasonable confidence, upon that most Impressive and momentous assurance ever delivered to the human race: “He that beltcvetii ia Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whoever livetk and belicvetli in Me Shan never die.” Mr. Vost related many traits of Mr. Beok’i character, and closed a feeling address with the statement that it ciuld be said of Mr. Beck as had been said of his (Beck’s) favorite poet. Burns, “To live in hearts yod leave behind is not to die." Mr. Allison gave some kindly and affecting reminiscences of Ills public and private relatione with Mr. Beck, and said in conclusion: ’’I will not speculate as to the hereafter. But if faithful Work, great and generous and noble deeds are rewarded hereaft-r, then onr departed friend is enjoying that reward.” A loiter froth Senator Morrlil to Senator Blackburn was presented and read, stating his Inability to be pr -sent in the Senate today and bearing his testimony to Mr. Beck’s great ability and absolute fidelity to duty —saying of liitn: “He was a brave and frank man, entitled to much respect, who never stooped to any cunning or crooked artifice.” Trflinjpa of ltffiffitinn patfipirt nnil retrret

were also paid by Messrs. Evarts, Vanes, Hall, Morgan Plumb, Hampton, Gibson* Coke, McPherson and Carlisle. Mr. Carl isle,the last to address the Senate, said that, after the eloquent tributes to Mr. Beck*s memory by political friends and political opponent* alike, little rom lined for him to add. If the occasion and circumstances permitted,it would be a grateful task to speak at length on the life and character of a man who, notwithstanding the many and fierce forensic controversies in which had been engaged, had left no rankling wounds even in the bosoms of bis adversaries. ' # Speaking of Mr. Beck's services during th« reconstruction period, when the whole country was looking with the most intense anxiety and interest «t every step taken in the progress of t hat great contest! “It was impossible,*' he said* lifter suqh a lapse of time, to realike the state of feeling which then cxisteJ* There Were then in public life, .arrayed on one side or on the other in that conflict, some of the ablest men whom the country had produced* He did not need to name them. Some were still living, hou* ored and respected; others had passed away, but Mr. Beck had soon accustomed himself to t|ie situation) bad soon taken a prominent position among the recognised leaders on liis'side of tlie House, and had become universally regarded on the other side as one of its mo9t formidable ad vets saries." At the close of Mr. Carlisle's address, the Seuate at 3;Dp. in* adjourned* COMING HOME. i •' —- Hon. Robert T. Lincoln to Keflitn th« Post or Minister to England and Retard to His Home In Chicago. Chicago, Aug. 25.—Edward S.

Mr. Isham declined to cither confirm or deny the report It is the general opinion of a number of Mr. Lincoln’s friends, however, that he will resign his ‘exalted position before the new year and return to the practice of his professipn in Chicago. This is strengthened by the report that When Mrs. Lincoln and her two daughters return from Iowa they will take up their residence in their beautiful home on Lake Shore drive. A Horrible Mnrder.

Some Things About Which Republican Organs-Orin derr. Have Nothing to Sar, It is not so very long ago that the Renublican organs of the North were making a great to-do over tbs attitude of the Farmers’ Alliance In the South. They tvers extracting s good deal of comfort out of the situation in Sooth Carolina, and out of the general movement on the part of the alliance in nominating new men for tbo various offices. They were predicting, indeed, that the alliance was to be the wedge by which the South was to Be divided and disorganized, and they were hb busily engaged tn conjuring tip this Spectacle that they had no time’ to pay SUV attention to the movement Si the Alliance in the West and Northwest. The great trouble with the average partisan editor of the North and East is the fact that he is densely ignorant of the drift and trend of public sentiment outside of those who are as partisan anC sectional as he is, and he seems to re*gard his ignorance as in the nature of an accomplishment—a phase of special culture—to he paraded ia public and to be prpud at Facts and object lessons are of no importance whatever to the partisans and Sectionalism who edit the Republican organs. They seem to he utterly unable tot appreciate the Vitality of the Solid Souths they seem to he Utterly unable to understand that the unity Of the White people here,- in the alliance and out of it* with the alliance and in spite of it— is above all merely political issues* and that the people in order to preserve it, aa4 thus preserve themselves from negro domination under Republican manipulation, will make any sacrifice and any Compromise. This is true of all classes; bait the partisan editors Of the North ignore this fact, and pretend to believe that the South can he divided, to the profit of the Republicans, by the ordinary pollt

lcai mo ciioas aim issuus. But their ignorance does hot end here. While the Republican majority in Congress, assisted by the organs, have been hammering away at a tariff bill framed solely in the interests of the monopolists and the manufsctcrers, and intended as a bait for contributions to the corruption fund, the Northern and Eastern organ editors bare wholly ignored the tremendous change that has been going on among the Republicans of the West and North west on the tariff question. The papers of these sections are full of the subject. The alliances of the different States have taken the matter up, and, in co-opera-tion with the labor organizations, have made strenuous protests against a high tariff. But it is chiefly by means of the aliianco that the reformation of public opinion has been carried on. In Kansas, Wisconsin, Illinois and Nebraska the movement In opposition to the' pet doctrine of the Republican party has created a profound impression among tho politicians, but the drift and tendency of the masses of the people hate been entirely ignored by the Northern and Eastern organs, and tho New York Tribune, td go no further, is still nagging and abusing tfcnators because they refuse to give merely a hasty consideration to the McKinley bill, , The Kansas Senators, Ingalls and Plumb, and Senator Paddock, of Nebraska, hate already demonstrated by their votes on certain sections of the McKinley bill that they have heard the dews from home. The 80,000 alliance men in Kansas have already ‘Warned Mr. Ingalls that he was seat to Washington to do something else besides making stump speeches against the South, and recently the Seventh district Republican convention of the same State has adopted a platform indorsing Mr. Blaine’s reciprocity scheme, and favoring “such reduction of the tariff as 3hall cheapen the products of the factory and shop in rails with farm products.’} The platform of the convention absolves the nominee “from dictation of the party caucus on all economic questions.”—Atlanta Constitution. THE TARIFF BILL. It* PMM(« Would Mean a (lemMntlc Victory In 1893. The Evening Post bas repeatedly warned those Eastern Republican editors who are loudly demanding the passage of the force Dili and the McKinley bill that they entirely misapprehend the temper of the Western Republicans. We are glad to observe that the readers of the New York Tribune have at last been permitted to get a hint of the truth, through a letter embodying "what a wide awake Republican observed In the West.” Elijah R. Kennedy, the writer of this letter, is one of the most prominent Republicans among the business men resident in Brooklyn, and he has just returned from Wisconsin, where he “hsd excellent opportunities for conversing with representative Republicans.” The result of his inquiries as to the force bill is thus stated: “There is net a very deep interest m the Lodge bill. If it were now dropped nobody would be disgusted except such zealous partisans as mmT " ... remain—Republic

Sow York State to the Democrats, as a consequence of the enactment of the Sill in the shape in which it passed the House, but that “the bill was immensely popular in the agricultural ^States, and would confirm our hold oVtw*hose States." He frankly confesses that lie was the victim of a delusion. “Well” he says, “I have talked with the best judges of the political situation in Wisr cousin, men also peculiarly well informed ©a affairs in tbe other Northwestern States, and I deem it a duty to declare that the final enactment of the McKinley bill, in any thing like the I shape in which it sow stands, will lose tie the nest Congress and will render it next to impossible for the Democrats to bungle and blunder sufficiently to enable us to elect fi successor to President Harrison.”—N. Y. Evening Post --* . i, PRACTICAL ECONOMICS. , . Why the McKinley Bill Will Fnrnlut Ha Belief to the People at Large. One fact ia practical economics si ould be fully understood, and that is that Where a tariff system is the chief source of a nation’s revenue aad is properly arranged it will of necessity give all needed protection to the industries of a country. In order to do this, however, a few essential points must be carefully observed: > 1« All raw material that can not ho raised ia the country should be free. 2. Raw material raised within the country should never have more than ; enough duty to counteract the hindrances in our own production. & The tariff should be as small as V possible upon things that enter into family living. ) 4. The highest taxes should always be upon luxuries and the lowest upon comforts. — "* " i Observe these initial rules and it' becomes an easy matter to so apportion the revenue as!to afford incidental protection to all. American industries. Unfortunately the tariffs of this country are so arranged as to ignore every one of these foundation principles.. There is a large list of free material, it is true, but in most cases they are upon things which do not enter largely Into onr own productions. The single prominent exception is hides, and this_ it is proposed to rewje'l, by the imposition of a doty, as proposed in the Mckinley bill. The Pennsylvania manufacturers say: “Hive us free ores and we will aell oar Iron and steel In Liverpool.” The woolen manufacturers say jjgive us free wool and dye stuffs and we “can compete with England and Germany in the markets of ’the world. With free wool and dye stuffs Americancarpets can be made as cheaply as they are in Europe. Most of these wools that are desired free are of kinds that are not raised iff this, country and the dye stuffs are not raised heije at all. Tbe present tariff is square in the interest of the manufac turer and against those of the people at large. The McKinley hill will furnish no relief.—Chicago Globe.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. ——'“Cheapciothes,”declaresMr. Harrison, “make cheap men.” Somebody must have given Mr. Harrison hia clothes.—N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. —Xhe time has gone by for imposing or retaining tariff duties which can not be defended on grounds of public necessity or general advantage.—St Louis Globe-Democrat (Rep.) -Quay says the action of certain Pennsylvania men in raising a fund to prosecute the New York World for libeling the Senator is impertinent It is more than that It is crnel: It is knocking all the dignity out of that silence.—Chicago Mail. -The Republicans of thq Lacey committee who think that the election frauds “are looked upon as a joke” in Arkansas, might learn something by calling at the White House and asking how they are looked upon by the blocks of five in Indiana.—St Louis Republic. -Republicans who are crying out against Democratic obstruction in the consideration of the tariff bill should bear in mind that several distinguished Republican Senators are giving the Democrats splendid aid in their obstructive tactics with regard to certain features of the bill.—St Louis PostDispatch, -Mr. Blaine is opposed to any thing like free trade, but is very strongly in favor of “enlarging our commercial intercourse” When Hans Schmidt laid aside his barber’s kit and went to the springs to appear as Baron Heinrich von Scboppehbausen he was very much thought of by those who didn’t know him, hut to those who did he was nothing but old Hans Schmidt—Chicago Globe. -The remark of Senator Voorhees in his speech on the tariff to the effect that it would be far cheaper for the country to pay 84,000 idle men their average wages than tax every square of tin roof, every dinner pail, tea-pot and milk-can simply to build up half a dozen millionaires and enable them to give coaching parties to protection leaders and to found libraries from the savings of a fifteen per cent, reduction of the wages of their working men, has a a great deal of truth in it—Boston Journal of Commerce (Protectionist). ;j. Harrison and the Dominie. The deed by which that now famous cottage was transferred to the Harrisons reads: “Consideration, $1.” It Mr. Harrison has more recently paid $10,000 to the donors to square himself, as it were, he is simply wasting his money. All the public wants to know of him is that he would accept so costly a gift and from such sources. All of which places Mr. Harrison in the position of the old Sootch dominie who dropped a shilling in the contribution box thinking it was a ha’penny. He tried to get it back and failed, and then consoled himself with the muttered comment: •'Oh, wool, the Lord’ll gle me credit for a shillin’.” “No, he won’t,” said the parson. “Ye’ll get credit for the ha'penny ye intended to put in.” Mr. Harrison will get no credit on earth or In Heaven for the #10,000, even if h® has paid it—Chloago Herald.
