PAST ITS USEFULNESS.
Rev. Dr. Thomas Dixon Denounces the
Senate aud Its Works.
New York, N. Y., Aug. 12.—In As
sociation Hall to-da}% Rev. Dr. Thomas
Dixon said the obstructionists tactics
employed by the Senate were disgrace
ful, an 1 to them could he directly attri
butes the disastrous paralysis of trade.
He said that the Senate had outlived its
usefulness. It had originally been creat
ed to preserve State sovereignty. The
question of State sovereignty had forever
jjecn laid at rest bv the Civil War.
Therefore the Senate was and anomaly.
The men now sent to it were machine
politicians or millionaires*. There were
once Henry (.’lavs, Calhouns, and, Se
wards. The business of the Senate, lie
declared, had degenerated to “peanuV’
polities. Dr. Dixon further said that
the situation was almost hopeless, but
that if Senaters were elected by the peo
ple instead of by the Legislatures there
was a possibility of an honest Senate.

The Action of the Honso on the New Tariff
Billa Reported to the Senate and They
Were Read the First Time—Quick Work
of the House After Monday’s Caucus
Had Adjourned.
Washington, Aug. 15.—As soon as
the journal was read the chief clerk of
the house appeared and delivered a mes
sage announcing the passage by the
house of the bills to place on the free list
sugar bituminous coal, iron ore and
barbed wire. The message mads nojtl-
lusion to the concurrence of the hou'0
in all the senate amendment5 to the
tariff bill.
When the vice president laid before
the senate the free list bills, Mr. Man*
derson asked that they lie read at
length, and objected to the second read
ing of all of them. Mr. Hill gave notice
of amendments to each of the bills pm-
Tiding for the repeal of all income taxes.
The separate bills did not come up dur
ing the day’s session.
The senate, at 2:10 p. ni., adjourned
for the day.
After Monday’s Caucus.
Within 20 minutes after Mr. Outh-
waite reached the committee room the
rules, as pressed by Messrs. Crisp and
Caterings, were adopted, reported to
the house and, after a sharp parliament
ary battle in which Mr. Reed led the
opposition, the order reported by the
rules committee was adopted.
Mr. Wilson immediately rose and of
fered a bill providing for the free ad
mission of coal, shale, slack and coke,
which was passed—yeas, 160; nays, 104.
The free iron ore bill next passed by
a vote of yeas, 163; nays, 102.
The free barbed wire bill passed by a
vote of yeas, 187; nays, 84.
Free sugar passed—yeas, 276 to 11—
and the house, at 10:25 o’clock, ad
journed until Wednesday.

The New Tariff Bill.
That the House took the Senate bill
from necessity every one understands,
but the fact is, the new bill is much bet
ter than the Mills’ bill, and cuts the
McKinley bill now i l force, more than
50 per cent. It was a long stride on the
line of tariff reform and we must remem
ber that it carries the income tax bill
with it. That the Republicans bitterly
opposed it, is one of the best arguments
In its favor. It secures Democratic su
premacy in the nest Congress and places
the party in position t> continue its
fight for still further tariff reform, which
fight is already^on. Four traitors in the
Senate are responsible for the failure to
pass the House bill, and it is altogether
probable that they will be relegated to
the shades of oblivion and that better
Democrats will be chosen to fill their
places win n the time comes. The Popu
lists who were on hand voted for the b 11,
and this may or may not be awargument
in its favor, at any rate it puts them in
apposition where they cannot -criticise it7
The new tariff bill is all' right so far as

PROPRIETOR.
It Is Relieved That President Cleveland
Will Not Sign the Tariff Bill.
Washington, Aug. 15.—As the house
of representatives adjourned over until
Wednesday, the tariff bill cannot be scut
to the White House until it reassembles.
It will be enrolled and carefully com
pared and when both houses are in ses
sion it will receive the signatures of
Bp^Jter Crisp and Vice President
Stevenson.
_Jhe bill then will be taken to the
president, who will have 10 full days
(exclusive of Sunday) ojr until Jjouday,
Aug. 27, in which to act oa tTie bill. A
great deal 9.f pressure undoubtedly will
be brought to bear on •the president by
Democratic senators and representatives
to induce Mr. Cleveland to sigii the bill,
feaLjt; is believed thg^ it is the present
intention or the president to Jet the bill
become a law without his signature.
It is stated by friends of the president
that he had freely expressed this pur
pose to those entitled to kiiow, who
nave questioned him on the subject,
but has said that he will thoroughly
consider all phases of the matter.
Taking: Whlaky Out of Bond..
Reports received at the treasuarv de
partment from whisky producing centers
state that there is a great rush to take
whisky out of bond at the old rate of 90
cents a gallon before the new tax of $1.10
per gallon becomes operative.
At most of the large distilleries whisky
in bond has already been gnaged and is
ready, upon payment of the tax. to be
withdrawn. A conservative estimate
places the amount of whisky in bond at
60,000,000 gallons.
Texas Democrats in Convention.
Dallas, Aug. 15.—The Democratic
state convention met here at noon.
There are 15,000 visitors present. The
convention was organized by the elec
tion of Hon. J. R. Flemming, of San
Antonio, for temporary chairman. Ev-
ery office, except of treasurer, has from
two to six candidates. Questions of en
dorsing Mr. Cleveland and the silver is
sue are being fought. The nomination
of candidates will not be reached during
the day. ”
NVsroes on a Strike.
Washington, Ang. 15.—A special

negroes employed at the government
works, on the Tennessee river, have

The Coffin Will Be/ Forthcoming.
Jacksonville, Fla., Ang. 15.—A day
or two ago one of the undertakers of
Jacksonville received an unique order
from one of the towns of the state. The
letter asked: “Have you a shroud big
enough fpr a man 6 feet and 5 inches
tall. If yon have not, order one. The
letter went on to explain that the man
for whom the shroud had been ordered
was yet alive but his death was but a
matter of a fdw days.

Augusta, Ga., Aug. 15.—Little Gor
don Stalmaker set his clothing on fire in
Dr. Sailey’s drag and was badly burned.
