HILL’S FIGHT ON THE TAX.
He Gives Fifteen Reasons Why It
Should Be Defeated.
His Motion to Wipe the Tax From the
Bill Defeated by a Vote of 40 Nays
to 24 Ayes—The Bill Not Apt to
Reach the House Before Tuesday.
Text of the New York Senator’s List
of Reasons.
Washington, June 28.—One more day
will see the tariff bill out of the commit
tee of the whole and in the Senate proper.
Then the voting will begin all over again,
which ought not to last a day. But Sena
tor Hill intends carrying his light against
the income tax into the Senate.
“Why will you do this, to delay the
bill I” was asked him to-day.
“No, only to impress the position I am
taking on the country. Speeches against
this measure cannot be repeated too
often.”
So it may be until Saturday before the
bill leaves the Senate, in which case it
cannot reach the House before Tuesday.
The vote on the income x to-day
showed that measure to ba the most
popular one in the bill. Mr. Hill’s final
motion to wipe it from the pages of the
bill was lost by a vote of 24 to 40. Sena
tor Hill made a strong fight, but an ut
terly useless one, save for the credit
which comes to him from his own state.
He did not gain one vote to his side, save
those which came from the republicans.
TUB WAY IN THE SENATE.
By the Southern Associated Press.
Washington. June 28—To-day again
twenty minutes of the morning half hour
of the Senate were used up in waiting for
a quorum.
The House joint resolution to continue
all the regular annual appropriation bills
for one month, after June 80, was laid
before the Senate and received its second
reading.
Mr. Cockrell, chairman of the commit
tee on appropriations, moved that it be
referred to that committee.
Mr. Hoar gave notice that when re
ported back he would move to amend it
by substituting for it the sundry civil ap
propriation bill for the current year.
Mr. Hoar advocated his proposition and
was still speaking when, at 10:80 o’clock
a. m., the Vice President interrupted him
and laid before the Senate the tariff bill.
The motion to refer the joint resolution
for the continuance of the appropriations
went over, therefore, without action.
The pending question when the Senate
adjourned yesterday was section OB of the
tariff bill, which requires business cor
porations to keep full, regular and accu
rate books of accounts, which shall be at
all reasonable times open to the inspec
tion of internal revenue officers. An
amendment had been offered to it by Mr.
Hill so as to make it read, “reasonable
hours between March al, and August
1, in each case,” and Mr. Chandler
moved to add to Mr. Hill’s amendment
the words “on due order of some judge of
a United States court.”
THE SECTION UNDER FIRE.
Messrs. Teller, Manderson, Allison and
Hill thought the entire section was ob
jectionable, and ought to be reformed or
withdrawn entirely.
Mr. Vest, in the hope that his action
might terminate the debate, presented an
amendment as a substitute for the sec
tion, prepared by himself and Mr. George.
It strikes out the clause requiring the
books to be open for inspection, and sub
stitutes for it a clause that when a col
lector or a deputy collector shall believe
that a true and accurate return
of the income of a corporation
has not been made he shall make an affi
davit of said belief and of the grounds on
which it is founded, and shall file it with
the commissioner of Internal revenue,
who shall issue a request in writing to
the corporation to allow an examination
to be made. In case of refusal by the cor
poration, the collector shall make an esti
mate, from the information m his posses
sion and shall ada 50 per cent, thereto,
and that shall be the lawful assessment.
The discussion on the section and on
the amendments was kept up for another
hour ; and then, on motion of Mr. Harris,
Mr. Chandler’s amendment was laid on
the table—yeas 82, nays 17.
Mr. Hoar was arguing in favor of Mr.
Hill’s amendment, and noticing Mr. Har
ris was on his feet, remarked, humor
ously, that the senator from Tennessee
seemed prepared to move to lay the ex
amination of the United States on the
table.
MR. HARRIS HOT.
“I would like,” said Mr. Harris,
severely, and in a tone which carried con
viction, “to lay the senator frorq Massa
chusetts on the table, if I could.” [Gen
eral laughter. |
Mr. Hoar wont on with his argument,
and added, “And now, if our lively and
wideawake friend, the senator from
Tennessee, desires to make a motion to
lay on the table I will yield to him.”
“I avail myself,” said Mr. Harris, “of
the kindly suggestion of the senator from
Massachusetts, and move to lay on the
table the amendment offered by the sena
tor from New York.”
• Mr. Hill’s amendment was laid on the
table without a division.
Then the question came on the amend
ment offered by Mr. Vest.
The amendment was agreed to without
a division.
Then Mr. Hill moved to strike out sec
tion 66, and that motion was rejected
without a division.
Mr. Hill moved to go back to section 56,
which requires Individuals to make re
turns of their Incomes and to strike out
the words “by the examination of such
persons.”
After some argument, Mr. Vest sug
gested, for the sake of saving time, to
make the clause read, “By inquiry of such
person,” but that did not entirely meet
Mr. Hill’s objection, and he insisted on
his amendment. Rejected—yeas 28, nays
85.
Sections 67. 69, 70 and 71 were struck
out of the bill on motion of Mr. Vest.
Section 08 was amended.
HILL’S FIFTEEN OBJECTIONS.
This finished all the sections relating to
the income tax. and Mr. Hill* submitted a
motion to strike them all out of the bill.
He epitomised his objections to the in
come tax, under fifteen heads.
1. An income tax has no legitimate place
in a tariff reform bill. It is unjust to
those who desire to support a revision of
the tariff bill who cannot consistently or
conscientiously favor an income tax'. If
admissible at all, it should have been
embraced in a separate measure. The
effort to retain it in this bill has hin
dered, delayed and sacrificed the cause of
tariff reform, and compelled the surren
der of many essential principles which
should have accompanied a genuine tariff
revision.
2. An income tax is neither a demo
cratic nor a republican principal, and has
never been approved by the people at the
polls, but is one of the doctrines of the
Populist party, the votes of whose sena
tors in the Senate aro expected to be the
■"!* means of fastening it upon this bill and
upon the people.
THE TAX UNNECESSARY.
3. It is an unnecessary tax. The de
bate has conclusively demonstrated the
fact that the needs of the treasury will
pot require the proceeds of this tax, but
BAKING POWDER.
Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Report
ABSOLUTELY PURE
that sufficient revenues will be realized
under the other provisions of
the measure. No proper esti
mate has been furnished of the
revenues expected to be realized from this
tax, but it is blindly urged without re
gard to anticipated revenue or conse
quences.
4. It is a direct tax within the true in
tent and meaning of the constitution, and
not beine laid in proportion to population,
is unconstitutional, and cannot be en
forced.
5. It is unequal, unjust and sectional in
its design and operation, and is princi
pally urged by the representatives of
those states which will be least affected
by Its provisions. It is an attack upon
the thrift, the energy and the enterprise
of the north, rather than an honest effort
to reach the accumulated wealth of the
country by constitutional and just means.
6. It is the revival of an odious war tax
in a time of profound peace.
x THE EXEMPTION UNJUST.
7. The exemption of all incomes not ex
ceeding $4,000, is an exemption unprece
dented in the history of income tax legis
lation here or anywhere in the world, and
stamps the measure as the most offensive
species of class legislation. While osten
sibly aimed at the rich, it permits one
having an investment of #BO.OOO drawing
interest at 5 per cent, to escape all taxa
tion under it. Whether it injures the
very rich or not, it clearly does not help
the poor. It is not based upon any con
sistent theory. Either substantially all
incomes should be taxed, or none at all.
8. It is unjust and indefensible in its
discriminations. It necessarily exempts
the income from $685,000,000 of govern
ment bonds, but denies the same exemp
tion to state bonds. It exempts $4,000
from the individual, income of a citizen
derived from his general business, but
denies him the same exemption if his
income is derived from a corporate invest
ment. It unnecessarily and injuriously
discriminates against corporate invest
ments by individuals.
THE BILL RETROACTIVE.
9. It is retroactive in its operation. It
compels the payment of a tax upon in
comes realized since Jan. 1, 1894, being at
least six months before the passage of the
act, which should only apply to future in
comes if at all..
10. It usurps those fields of revenue
which properly belong to the states. Tariff
taxation being exclusively under the con
stitution the province of the federal gov
ernment, it should mainly confine
Itself to that method of raising its
necessary revenues, without encroaching
upon the rights, preogatives and revenues
of the states. This measure not only pro
vides for income taxation proper, but in
cludes an inheritance and gift tax, there
by trespassing upon a field already occu
pied by many of the states. Incomes, if
taxed at all, should be taxed by state
rather than federal authority. The
statds are suffering more from lack of
sufficient and proper revenues than is the
general government. What are essen
tially local revenues should be reserved
for local purposes.
INQUISITORIAL AND OFFENSIVE.
11. Its provisions are inquisitorial and
offensive in their character. A citizen is
compelled to give evidence against him
self and to submit to the production and
inspection books and papers. The
political agents of the government are
vested with vast powers which are liable
to abuse. Taxation may be increased 100
per cent, and other severe penalties may
be imposed. It is a system of taxation
adopted for a monarchial government, but
unsuited for a free government.
12. It violates the constitution because
it usurps those revenues derived from cer
tain domestic corporations which the
states have themselves created, and the
revenues of which corporations the states
have set apart for the uses of their own
state governments. Those revenues can
not constitutionally be destroyed, di
minished or interfered with by the gen
eral government. The proposed taxisan
attack upon the sovereignty of the states,
their reserved rights, the doctrine of
home rule, and every just principle of
government for which we have ever here
tofore contended.
WILL INCREASE TAXATION.
18. The absorption of these legitimate
state revenues by the general government
as here proposed, will necessarily lead to
increased direct taxation by the states
and add to the existing direct burdens of
the people.
14. The tax proposed is double that
recommended by Secretary Carlisle.
18. It will duplicate taxation, create
friction, and promote conflict or conten
tion between the government and the
states, is contrary to the established
policy of the government, is a step
towards socialism, and is unwise from
every point of political expediency.
Mr. Manderson asked Mr. Hill whether
the paper which he had read was an in
dictment against the income taxifeatures
of the bill.
Mr. Hill—lt partakes of that nature.
Mr. Manderson-—1 want to add another
count.
Mr. Hill—There is ample opportunity
for a great many more; but in my desire
to be brief I left out a large number.
Mr. Manderson—The count which I
would add is: “It creates a class to nay
a part of the expenses of the government
and is a step toward the creation of a privi
leged few constituting a moneyed aristoc
racy which, contributing from their
abundant revenues or incomes to the sup
port of the government, will rule it.”
Mr. Hill—l accept the amendment.
HILL’S MOTION DEFEATED.
The question was taken on Mr. Hill’s
motion to strike out all the income tax
sections of the bill, and the motion was
rejected—yeas 24, nays 40.
There were only two democratic sena
tors, Messrs. Hill of New York and
Smith of New Jersey* voting in favor of
the motion; but it was stated by Mr.
Smith that his colleague (Mr. McPher
son) would vote in the same wav if he
were present. The votes in the negative
were given by the three populist senators
—Messrs. Allen, Kyle and Peffer; by
Irby, and by six republican senators—
Messrs. Hansbrough, Mitchell of Oregon,
Pettigrew. Power, Shoup and Teller.
Mr. Hoar was recorded on this vote but
when he found that Mr. Pugh (with
whom Mr. Hoar was paired) had not
voted, Mr. Hoar withdrew his vote,
making the result stand—yeas 28, nays 40
DISTILLED SPIRITS.
The sections relating to distilled spir
its were quickly reached, but not quickly
disposed of. The main discussion was
upon the increase of the tax on whisky
and the extension of the bonded period,
Messrs Sherman and Allison opposing
both.
Messrs. Vest. Vorhees, MmAs and Lind
say defended the action ofijlhe finance
committee.
Me. Peffer moved to insert a new sec
tion, imposing a tax of $1.50 per barrel on
beer, ale, etc. Rejected—yeas. 20. nays,
34.
Three populist senators, Messrs. Allen,
Kyle, and Peffer, voted for the amend
ment and the fourth, Mr. Stewart voted
against it. Senator Hill and Irby, dems.,
THE WEEKLY NEWS (TWO-TIMES-A-WEEK): MONDAY, JULY 2, 1894.
and Mitchell, rep., of Oregon, also voted
against it.
Mr. Aldrich moved to strike out of sec
tion 82 the words “the first day of the
second calendar month after,” so as to
make It read “that non and after the
passage of this act, the tax of $1.10.a gallon
shall be levied on all distilled spirits in
bond at that time, and that may be
produced thereafter.”
No opposition was offered on the part
of the finance committee and the amend
ment was adopted without a division.
THE SUBSTITUTE AGREED TO.
The committee substitute for section 82
was then agreed to without a division.
It provides that on and after the passage
of the act a tax of sl.lO per gallon shall
be levied on all distilled spirits then in
bond or that may thereafter be produced
in the United States.
Sections 83 to 101, making provisions as
to the warehouseing of distilled spirits
and as to allowance for losses, etc., were
agreed to without opposition.
Section 102 defines constitutes a
manufacturer of tobacco. Several amend
ments of a merely formal character were
offered to it and agreed to.
Section 103, modifying the act of June
20, 1876 (a formalchange), was agreed to;
and section 104 having been reached (the
last section but one of the bill), Mr. Hale
of Maine said that he had an amendment
to offer to it which could not be disposed
of this evening. It is the section abro
gating the reciprocity treaties. He in
tended to move to strike it out. •
The Senate, therefore, at 7 p. m. ad
journed, after a continuous session of nine
hours.
NEW MEXICO TO BE A STATE.
The House Passes the Bill for Its Ad
mission.
Washington, June, 28.—Several bills
were passed by the Hojuse in the morning
hour to-day under requests for unanimous
consent, but none of general interest, or
into which politics entered.
Then the bill to provide for the ad
missioA of New Mexico to the union was
called up by Mr. Wheeler of Alabama.
There were no further amendments, ex
cept to perfect the text, proposed; and
when the reading had been concluded
Mr. Wheeler delivered a brief patriotic
address of welcome to the new candidate
for admission to the sisterhood of states,
which evoked applause from both sides of
the chamber.
Mr. Wheeler said:
Mr. Speaker: The last paragraph of this im
portant bill has been read, and its considera
tion is completed. Now by our votes we are
to have the pleasing duty of adding another
star to the banner which the world reveres as
the emblem of American courage, American
progress and American freedom. Welcome,
thrice welcome, noble, chivalrous peo
ple, to our sisterhood of states. I
say welceme to our brothers, the
brave / merican pioneers, who have
made their homes in this land of the far. far
west Welcome, our Spanish brethren, whose
ancestors braved the broad Atlantic and
planted the seeds of Christianity and civiliza
tion in the valley of the Rio Grande nearly a
century before our forefathers landed upon
the shores of Virginia and New England.
Welcome, thrice welcome, to all the rights,
all the joys, and all the blessed privileges of
this great, glorious and proud republic.
The bill was then passed without a
division.
HALL OF RECORDS.
Under the terms of a special order
adopted May 7, Mr. Bankhead of Ala
bama called up the Senate bill providing
for the construction of a hall of records
in the city of Washington. The House
committee on buildings and grounds re
ported a substitute for it, directing the
Secretary of the Treasury to purchase
half a block of ground just south of the
capitol grounds, at a cost of $300,000 and
erect a building thereon to cost $200,000.
The portion of the property not occupied
by the hall of records is to be for storage
and folding rooms for the House of Rep
resentatives.
Opposition was promptly manifested,
partly on the ground that the price named
for the ground is excessive and partly on
the ground that the government already
owns suitable building sites.
On a motion to fix the price » for the
property to be purchased at $175,000, of
fered by Mr. Bryan of Nebraska,cjthe
vote by tellers was—ayes 81, nays 62.
Mr. Baker, of New Hampshire, made
the point of no quorum, and a roll call
disclosing but 175 members present, at
4:20 o’clock the House adjourned till to
morrow without action on the bill.

a case of fireworks on the rear platform
of a special train bringing home the
marching club of the Cook county dem
ocracy last night eight members were

Bloomington preparations were made to
give a display, as the chairman of the
convention, Owen Scott, was to get off
there. A box of fireworks was placed on
the rear platform of the private car in
which Franklin McVeagh, Mayor Hop
kins and other prominent members were
riding. In some way the fireworks igni
ted, and the explosion followed. Mayor
Hopkins had one side of his face and his
Hands burned and his mustache and hair
sinned. Seven others were more or less
burned.
ROSEBERRY’S RACERS.
The Premier Replies to the Anti-
Gambling League.
London, June 28.—Lord Roseberry, in
his reply to the letter sent him by the
Anti-Gambling League, protesting against
horseracing, says: “My position is
simply this: Like Cromwell, whose
official position was higher than mine,
and the strictness of whose principles can
not be questioned, I possess a few race
horses, and lam glad when one of these
happens to be a good one.”
SANTO’S BLOODY STILETTO.
No Longer Any Doubt That He Had
Accomplices in the Plot.
One of the Suspects Plungec a Knife
Into His Abdomen and Falls Dead
at the Feet of the Police Who Were
About to Arrest Him—Premier Du
puy and the Cabinet Resign—Perier
to Attend the Funeral of the Dead
President.
Paris, June 28.—Police visited the lodg
ings of a man named Granier in Montpe
lier this morning with a view of ascer
taining bis connection, if any, with the
murder of President Carnot. It is alleged
that about 4 o’clock Sunday afternoon
Granier was heard to say: “By this time
Carnot must have received his account.”
When the police arrived at Granier's
lodgings they ordered him to surrender.
With a quick movement, Granier, with
out uttering a word, seized a long knife
lying upon a table and plunged it into his
abdomen, falling dead at the feet of the
police. The police are now certain that
the murder of President Carnot was the
result ot a conspiracy between Santo,
Laborie, Granier and others to avenge
the executions of Vailant and Henry.
President Casimir-Perier presided this
morning at the council of the ministers.
It was decided to ask the chambers to
morrow for a credit of 50,000 francs to be
applied to the expenses of the funeral of
the late President Sadi-Carnot. Premier
Dupuy will deliver the funeral oration.
M. Dupuy, it is announced, has finally de
cided to resign the premiership and pro
poses to go to Contrexeville, where he will
take mineral waters.
The city was perfectly quiet through
out the night.
The Journal Official this morning pub
lished the resignation of Premier Dupuy
and his ministers. They will remain in
office, however, until another ministry is
formed.
TUB RESIGNATIONS ACCEPTED.
President Casimir-Perier has accepted
the resignations of Premier Dupay and
the other members of the misistry to go
into effect after the funeral of M. Carnot,
on Sunday, on which occasion M. Dupuy
will deliver an oration in the Pantheon
on behalf of the government. . The presi
dent has asked Deputy Auguste Bor
deaux, who is his particular friend, to
form a cabinet.
In defiance of precedent President
Casimir-Perier insists upon honoring the
memory of M. Carnot by attending his
funeral.
The anarchist, Laborie, who was ar
rested at Montpelier on Monday, has con
fessed to the police that the murderer,
Cesario Santo, dined with him on Sunday,
when the assassin confided to him the ob
ject of his trip to Lyons.
An anarchist named Abras has been
arrested Montpelier for expressing his
approval of the murder of President Car
not.
In observance of M. PeHer’s election to
the presidency all disciplinary punish
ments in the army and navy have been
remitted.
MUTE TRIBUTES TO THE DEAD.
All the women passing the Elysee
palace make the sign of the cross, and the
men remove their huts.
Mme. Carnot received to-day a few
friends and the wives' of the civil engi
neers delegation were presented by M.
Challemel-LacouTf
The oak cofflh in which President
Carnot’s body lies had a large crack in
one side this morning. As the inner lin
ing of the lid could be seen through it, the
police commissary ordered that a new
and larger coffin be made at once.
The heat is intense. The sky is clear
and the florists are showing the wonders of
their art. Carnot wreaths are exhibited
at ever shop. More than 1,000,000 francs
have been spent here already for flowers.
Four hundred wreaths have been received
at the Elysee palace in the last forty
eight hours. A society of Paris women
has ordered a funeral wreath costing
6,000 francs. Mlle. Chiris, who is be
trothed to M. Carnot’s son, will send to
the palace to-morrow a superb wreath
eight yards in circumference, composed
of Countess Chambori daisies veiled with
white tulle, over which black crepe will
be crossed.
Workingmen are preparing President
Carnot’s tomb in the Pantheon. It will
be beside that of his famous ancestor, the
organizer of victory.
Among the candidates for the presi
dency of the chamber are Henri Brisson,
ex-Premier Loubet, Auguste Bordeaux
and Felix Aure. M. Dupuy’s career is
regarded as closed.
/ REPRISALS AGAINST THE FRENCH.
Turin, June 28.—The exodus of thou
sands of Italians from Southern France,
the refugees mainly passing through
Turin, culminated in reprisals here last
evening. The hotels in the city which
are most frequented by Frenchmen were
attacked by a mob last night, and the
troops dispersed the rioters with the
utmost difficulty. For the remainder of
the night everything was quiet, but the
anti-French manifestations were resumed
this morning. The force of military and
the police have been strengthened.
ITALIAN FUGITIVES AT METZ.
Metz, June2B.—About 1,000 Italians who
fled from France after the assassination
of President Carnot because they were
afraid they would be persecuted on account
of the crime of their countryman, are
camping in the open fields in the vicinity
of this city. Most of them are without
means, and are suffering many hardships.
ENGLAND AND THE ANARCHISTS.
London, June 28. —In the House of Com
mons to-day Sir George Russell asked if,
in view of the murder of
President Carnot and- other crimes
committed by the anarchists, the
government intended to act in concert
with the other powers in taking means to
prevent further outrages. Sir William
Harcourt said the question was too impor
tant a one to be argued now.
HANGED TO A TELEPHONE POLE.
A Negro Lynched for Shooting His
Employer and Hie Wife.
Fort Worth, Tex., June 28.-Mr. and
Mrs. Al Waite, living two miles from Sul
phur Springs, ware fired upon last night
by a discharged negro, John Williams.
Mrs. Waite was instantly killed, and Mr.
Waite mortally wounded, and will die.
Williams used a Winchester. This morn- ;
insr the negro was captured by the
sheriff’s posse near Weaver, and taken to
Sulphur Springs. While be was being
guarded an enraged mob overpowered the
guard and took Williams to the public '
square, where he was hanged to a tele- .
phone pole. Scott Waite led the mob. It
was the most bloodcurdling scene in the
history of the town.
LABOR DAY BILL SIGNED.
The Pen Used by President Cleveland
to Be Sent to President Gompers.
Washington, June 28.—Representative
Cummings of New York this afternoon
carried the bill making Labor day a na
tional holiday to the white house and
President Cleveland signed it at once.
The pen and holder, a plain steel stub and
wooden affair, will be sent by Mr. Cum
mings to Samuel Gompers. president of
the American Federation of Labor.
RATES TO BE RESTORED.
Commissioner Stahlman Talks of tho
Future of the Association.
Atlanta, Ga., June 28.—Commissioner
Stahlman, of the Sduthern Railway and
Steamship Association, who reached At
lanta to-day, announces that a circular
has been issued by the association order
ing a restoration of rates that were cut
recently, on Aug. 1. The old rates on
eastern business will be resumed at that
time unless the association changes its
mind at the meeting to be held July 17, at
Harrogate, oTenn. Commissioner Stahl
man does not think there is much chance
of this, however, unless the
association dissolves, which he
also regards as highly im
probable. In speaking of the reduc
tions, which averaged 60 per cent.. Com
missioner Stahlman said the association
made the big cuts on account bf the se
cret knifing of rates by individual; lines,
which were actuated by the hard times
and a desperate desire to get business.
The effect of the lesson administered by
the association, the coromissionei* thinks,
has been good. Both railroads and ship
pers are now anxious for a restoration,
the shippers because they do not like un
certainty, and the railroads because they
are losing money. After this Commis
sioner Stahlman doss not think there will
be much secret rate putting in violatibn of
the rules of the association, at least for
some time to come.

rary Appropriations.
Washington, June 28.—A serious pros
pect is opened up by the determined fight
which Mr. Hoar is making in the Senate
against the joint resolution to continue
existing appropriations for thirty days.
Unless this resolution should pass and
receive the President’s signature on or
before Saturday next, all the wheels of
the government will be blocked and the
pay of every person in the service of the
government, from the President down to
the humblest official, will stop.
Should Mr. Hoar persist in his purpose
of opposing the reference of the resolu
tion for the next two mornings during
the few minutes interval which elapse be
tween the obtaining of a quorum and the
call of the regular order (the tariff’bill)
at 10:30 a. m., he can prevent
the passage of the resolution. The only
course then open to the majority will be
the dangerous experiment of laying
aside the tariff bill till the expenses of
continuing the government are provided
for. It is believed that the necessity of
the passage of the joint resolution to con
tinue the expenditures is the real obstacle
in the way of Mr. Cleveland’s leaving the
city. It is understood that his valet has
had the President’s steamer trunk packed
for a day or two, but the President can
not leave Washington till the joint resolu
tion is presented to him.
COL. MILLER NOT A CANDIDATE.
No Senatorial Candidate in the Field
From the Second District.
Hinesville, Ga.. June 28.—-E. P. Miller
has announced, in a card in the Herald,
that he is not a candidate for senator from
the Second district.
This with the withdrawal of the name
of Capt. P. B. Smith, also published in
the Herald, leaves the field entirely bare
of candidates. The withdrawal of Col.
Miller will cause general regret. Walter
Sheppard will probably be in the race, as
he has always stood high in the dem
ocratic ranks.

When my little girl was one month old, she
had a scab form on her face. It kept spread
ing until she was completely covered from
head to foot. Then she had boils She had
forty on her head at one time, and more on
her body. When six months old she did not
weigh seven pounds, a pound anti a half less
than at birth. Then her skin started to dry
up and got so bad she could not shut her eyes
to sleep, but laid with them half open. About
this time, at the earnest request of friends, I
started using the Cuticura Remedies, and
in one month ske was completely cured.
The doctor and drug bills were over one hun
dred dollars, the Cuticura bill was not more
than five dollars. My child is now two years
old, strong, healthy and large as any child of
her age (see photo.) and it is all owing to
Cuticura. Yours with a Mother’s Blessing,

PEARLINE.
“It made me Hands thot Sor 1
A f cou ldnt slape ; a/rf if it <vas thot harrd
fl /V Vs on me hands, how harrd it must be on the
u / v \ 4/ durrt!" This is the way a good old
woman praises some washing-
Zjr powder or other which she prefers
/ 1 to Pearline. As it was proven she
F V M h a d never tried Pearline, the com-
I p- pliment. would appear to be in favor
I of Pearline.
\f ' J Whoever heard of any one claim-
ing that Pearline hurt the hands?
But there’s the trouble—Pearline is
the original washing compound ; its popularity has drawn
out thousands of imitations—so popular that to many
it indicates any powdered washing material. If you are
using Pearline, you are satisfied; if you are dissatisfied,
try Pearline. If you are usings something with which
you are satisfied and it is not Pearline, try Pearline—
you will wonder you were satisfied before. Pearline
is economical and harmless. «5 James pyle, New York.

COTTON PLANTERS TO MEET.
They Will Devise Means to Handle
the Cotton Seed Drop.
New Orleans, June 28.—A number of
leading cotton planters of Louisiana,
Arkansas and Mississippi have called a
convention to meet at Vicksburg on July
12 to devise ways and means for selling
this season’s crop of cotton seed. The
planters complain that the oil mills have
made a combine against them, and that
in consequence the price of the seed has
ranged very low—£ll in New Orleans,
and only ?7 in some of the interior towns,
in spite of the fact that the supply has
been very short. The priceobtained in the
country for seed does not pay the planter,
it is said, as it impoverishes the soil.
