In dealing with other questions, Jimv

ever. be a mistake to say that all In

speaking, as they may be Ingenious In

a watchmaker nt Geneva proposes lb

grmt deal of patient study to his In

BLIND GUIDE IN TIIE CAPITOL.
From the Washington News
••Did yon* ever hear about the first guide
at the capitol? He was stone blind. Don’t
believe It? Well, I don't blame you, for
In hla <My only s' few people knew he
wns blind, snd even those he took tnrough
the big building suspected that he could

\\ bite and a veteran newspaper man.
"The Nln.1 guide wxs old 'Professor
Donaldson, as we called him In those
days. He made Ms living for twenty
years by showing vMtors about the capt-
tol building, snd followed that calling
until KQ. I used to wonder how he

toM me one day that he not only knew
the distances from one point to another,
but that he wanted no better guide than
the draughts of air. They never fulled
to make hie location known to him. Don-
aklmn would go out Into the senate gal
lery with a pasty and point out the sen-

FOREIGNERS UNEASY.
LonSJon. Aug. id.—tbe ShansMti cor-
rw pendent of the Cell trip News way*:
There Is <xn uneasy feeling In Won T<u
ffUNude of tho ntigfve
Foreigner* .are arming them-
zetvr*. ax they feur an attack.
James B. McCreary, chairman of the
foreign affairs committee, and one of the
Democratic leaders of the house during
the present semton of congress, said
» representative of the press today:
''The house ♦ms pass***! more koo*! bills
and enacted more Important legislation
than any of Its predecessors in ten years,
or any srith which I am familiar, and I
have been watching the course of legisla
tion for twenty years. The repeal ot the
purchasing clause of the .Sherman silver
act was of Immense Importance to the
vi-hole country. We were In the midst of
a financial panic when, the president
called congress together,; and after the re
peal of the bill the panic seemed to be
checked. When the senate passed It and
the president approved It. the monetary
condition of the country Improved and
bank failures ceased.
“Then a bill was passed repealing the
odious federal election lanv. dispensing
s»’th supervisors and marshals at the
polls and wiping from the statute books
all* statutes which menaced the freedom of
the ballot box.
"There has been important legislation
reclaiming about 60,000,000 acres of publio
lands given by Republican congresses to
railway corporations, and which, under
the terms of the various acts, have not
.been earned. These lands ought to lmve
been heM for actual settlement, anil
should never have been given to corpora
tions.
"The Chinese exclusion bill, which saved
68,000,000 by providing legislation which the
Chinese accepted, rather than be deported;
the bills to give effect to the Behring
Sea, awards, which regulated our sealing
Interests in Behring Sea, and the Hawa
iian resolution, sustaining the president
In withdrawing form the senate the an
nexation treaty, which required our gov
ernment to pay $3,500,000 for the Hawaiian
Islands, are among the good and impor
tant measures passed by the house.
"The tariff bill is not iui sweeping and
as comprehensive as I desired, but It Is
the best tariff reform bill since 1857, when
a Democratic congress amended the Wal
ker tariff bill cf 1846, by reducing tariff
rates to an average of 18 per cent. It
should be remembered that the Republi
can party has, by Its record, shown that
It Is a hiigh protection party, because when
it came Into power the average rate of
duty waa 18 per cent. From 1863 to 1866
It raised this rate to an average rate of
40 per cent.; In 1883, to 41 per cent., and It
reached its culmination In 1890, when the
McKinley bill was passed, fixing the av
erage rate at a fraction under 50 per
cent.
“The new tariff bill places wool, salt,
lumber, farming machinery, cotton ties,
cotton Ixigglng, binding twine and a num
ber of other necessary articles on fhd tree
list. The duty on woolen good* and cloth
ing has been reduced from nn average
rate of 93 per cent, to 48 per cent., and
milliona of dollars annually will be saved
to the people on clothing and woolen
goods alone, and the average rate under
the new tariff bill Is 88 per cent., as
against an average of 50 per cent in the
McKinley bill.
"Tho sugar bounty, amounting to 612,-
000,000 annually, has been repeated, and,
from my standpoint, the tax of 2 per
cent, on Incomes Is a Just and proper tax,
and will make these people who have
gfown rich under the Iniquitous legi3la-
latlon of the Republican party pay their
part of federal taxation. Congress had
to raise 630.000.000 annually in addition to
the amount already provided for to pay
the necessary expenses of the govern
ment, and this couM-come only from in
creased tariff ta'xatlon or from a tax on
Incomes... - And I prefer the latter.
passage of the bills enabling Utah,
Ntiw Mexico and Arizona to come Into the
'Union are good bills.
"I am sure business will begin reviving,
now that the tariff bill has become a laiw,
Confidence Is always necessary to prosper
ity. There has been a wont of confidence
for many months, but with the repeal of
the three great and important acts parsed
by Republicans, to-wlt: The purchasing
clause of the Sherman rfiver bill, McKin
ley tarlffblll and the federal election laws,
and the feeling of security that always
comes after such important legislation
has been agreed upon, in my opinion It is
certain to start business into the old chan
nels. Money Is plentiful, the crops are
good, and, with returning confidence,
there must be returning prosperity.
"Tbe expenses of the governmet have
been reducedat this seslon of congress In
every department, and the aggregate ap
propriations are 628.000,000 less than at the
last session of congress and 651,000,000 less
than In the second session of the Reed
congtea. Pension reforms have also been
inaugurated, whereby fraudulent claims
are being dropped, and pension appropria
tions have been reduced over 630,000,000.
"Indeed, I may say, ‘wo have fought a
good fight, we have finished the course,
we kept the faith.’ We havo done enough
for one session. We will go on with the
good work when congress raceta again."

DEATH OP MRS. STUBBS.
A Lady. Well Known in Macon Dies in
Louisiana.
The many friends of Mrs. Goorffln
Tucker Hlubbs In Macon und ■timniffii-
out Geor&'n Trill regret to learn of her
death, which occurred at Monroe, La.,
on August 10.
A memorial iu the Mouroe (La.) Bul
letin says:
On tiie 10th of August, 1804, nt her
home, near Monroe, Mrs. Georgia
Tucker Stubbs yielded up her honored
and useful life.
She was fully assured, through her
unwavering fatth In tho redeemer's
love, thnt she was but entering the
better land to Join her beloved ones
who have gone before, whence she
would continue her unceasing vigil over
those left heart-broken on earth.
Born in Laurens county, Georgia,
Juno 30, 1838, tho daughter of Dr. Na
than and Mfcffi Anna Tucker; she re
ceived n liberal education under the
tutorship of Professor John B. Mallard
at Midway nnd nt Wesleyan Female
College at Macon, where she was grad
uated In ISoO with the highest honors.
Endowed with rare talent, amid the
cares of a busy life, her great delight
was in her books and with her dowers;
she 'was esteemed as a ripe scholar hy
all who knew her.
Married In February, 1858, to Mr.
Frank P. Stubbs, slio came to Monroo
and the same year they built their homo
onj the bank of tho Ouachita, where
she spent her life in Christian charity
and works of love.
For flrirty-six years, in her modest
and unobtrusive walk, she adorned tlio
society of Monroe, was admired for her
bright IntelleotuaL'ity, her great Indus
try and her devotion to her womanly
dullles, nnd loved for her benevolence.
Those who knew her best admired
and loved her most.
As wife, mother, neighbor and friend
she was endeared to nil, and her loss
to Hie community cannot be replaced.
With characteristic courage, sho re
mained at home, alone with her little
ones during the long years of the war,
while, with her fullest approbation, her
husband was with tiie nrmy tn Virginia.
The older citizens of Monroo recall
her unselfish patriotism In those trying
ycare, «ud ever since her Jpve-'IM- the
Confederate eoldlotr watf fcccond only
to^that sho held for her own.
‘‘She- opened her mouth with wisdom
and her tongue was Hie law of kind
ness. She looked well to tho ways of
her household and ato not the bread of
Idleness. Her children arise up and
call her blessed. Let her own works
praise her in the gates.” XXX.
