Senators, by telling them that the in usage of the Porto Ri'o tariff bill was nee epKJir.v to tiet certni'i big cam paian contributions, is now vigorously wcilding the par t.V whip on the KhouU'ers of the kickern, with able nKHist anceon the quiet from Mr. MrKinley. It whs to help him that Senator Foraker got J he Senate Porto Hico bill, which deals exclusively with the Porto Hi'-o tariff Everv enerirv iH now to be bent to force that, through the Senate wiMiput amend ment. Five or six republi- can Senators sun i area ten to tilili isrer against a vole Senator Cockreil, speaking for the Democratic Senators, j u is t before the Senate passed the bill authorizing the ap pointment of a Commission to go lo China and Japan and rnaUea report on Com mercial conditions in those countries, said: ''The repub lican party is in absolutecon trol.and we on this side of the Cham tier sre powerless to prevent the enactment of any legislation coining from th'1 republican party and deem ed necessary by it. I will not antagonize this bill, although 1 do not agree with it in prin jcipal. I want it understood now and understood distinct ly. that hereafter, absolute responsibility must rest upon the republican party for the nassaire. of u II - resolutions and bills." Senator Tillman utilized his pitchfork, to toss a few aggravating questions to the almost distracted republi can Senators, which furnish ed considerable amusement to the occupants of the gal leries and to the democratic Senatms. Among the ques tions, which no republican at tempted to answer, were Ihe following: "Has the Presi dent changed his mind jr not? Is the President for free trade with Porto Rico todav, or is he not? Is he lending his party or has he surrendered to the dictates of special interest, following; the triumphal car like a pris oner of war? Will some gen tleman please tell me whether the President is for free trade with Porto Rico, or is he not?" After waiting in vain for a reply to his questions, Mi. Tillman said with a sar donic laugh: "A dumbness falls upon ua all." He then vividly sketched the present troubles of the republican party, and pie licted that the people would sweep ir from power, for not recognizing that the flag, the Constitu tion and liberty must travel together, and charge! the republican partv with indi rection, h.vi'ocrirtv, an i dirty w o r k. .-Senator Spooner sought to detract attention from Senator Tillman's plain talk about Poto Rico by shifting thw debate to the suppression of the ucgro vote in South Carolina, but Mr. Tillman nnt him tit once Ik d Carolina, adding: "When jou rould get nothing n.ore Iroin us by law, you turned a horde, cf negroes and carpet baggage loone upon us to steal everything we had left. W'e are here to staj , and we demand our rights. . W'e are not to be trampled on and hammered and patronized any longer, i say ir.nr uh m South Carolinian. I am the equal of any Senator on this fi'ior. I propose to have tny savhcie. no matter whose feelings are hurt'" After ten year's service in the House, Representative Cox, of Tennessee, has an ed that he will not be a candidate for re-election W hen asked why. he ans wered in three woi ds "Tired of it." He will b missd by the democrats of th next. House, as he has won a place as an able champion of dem ocratic principles. , That thegovernmentover pavs for low-grade work and under pays for. Jutrh grade work has again been empha sized by the resignation of Hon. A. P. Gieele.r, Assistant Commissioner of Patents, be cause of his small salary, to tngage in practice in Wash ington, making a specialty of trade-marks and foreign pat enK The retirement of Mr. Greeley is a derided loss to the government. He h a s been in the Patent office for sixteen years, has filled many important positions, includ ing that of Commissioner, be sides writing several works recogniz"d as authority on intent law. and not only proved his ability, butexhib ited an amount oj backbone seldom found in a govern ment official. The latter was particularly noticeable in the ting fight which resulted in disbarring the notorious John Wedderbnrn and other crooked patent attorneys. Representative Caldwell, of III., believes that Senator Cullom will be succeeded byu democrat. He said: "I think I have a right to besnnguitc in my hopes that we shall elect a democrat to I he Uni ted States Senate. The pres ent law1 districting makes it possible for us to carry t h e legislature, ulthougtrthe re publicans have a majority in the state somewhere between 25,000 to 40,000. One result of the investiga tion, now being made by the iouse Military Committeeof he use of Federal troops in Idaho, is the resolution offer ed in the house by Represen tative Lentz. of Ohio, nncflin the Senate by Senator Allen, of Nebraska, called fur the w i t h (1 ra wa I of Fed era 1 1 1 oops fiom the Coeur d'Alene dis trict in Idaho; th revoca tion of the labor permit svs teai, and rhe restoration of the right of habeas corpus. The resolution declares that the ititnre use of U. S troops in aiding and assisting the maintenance of martial law is improper, unnecessary and unlawful. Cat Out of the Bat-. News and Observer. Republicans all over the country, particularly In the Middle West, are up In arras aguinst thej Porto Rico bill. It was to the interest o! the republicans to listen to the demands of the best and big gest element of ths party. It refused to do this natural thing. Why? Because it is in the grasp of the trnsts.;:lt be lieves that money will be ef fectual lo buy the votes of the protesting voters. ThatS the republican creed. The Washington Star, a strong republican paper, lets the cat out of the bag by pub hshing this interview with a republican member of Coo gr ess: "The deal has been made. It is a matter of money for the campaign and the tariff treasure will be carried1 through. The carrying out of the President's recommen dation for free trade for Por: to Rico would have deprived the party of cousideahle con tribution to the national cam paign fund. The adoption of a reverse policy insures a very large contribution. The possible unpopularity of the Porto Rico tariff was balanc ed against the certainty of mony to use in the cam paign and the decision was m favor ot the campaign contri bulion. It was not expected that the storm of protest would be as strong us it is. but is now too late for a change." Commenting upon this interview the Washington Post says: "It is quite unnecessary to say to our readers that the Evening Star is not a yellow jidirnal, ora sensational mon ger, or an irresponsible pur veyor of scandal and excite ment. If the Star declares as it does in this -instance-that a member of Congress has made the statement a hove quoted, it is jieilVctly safe to assume that il speaks the truth." 'if this be the case, if Por to Rico is to be sacrificed to the sordid uses of a political contest, if these innocent and trustful people who welcomed us with open arms and confi ded, their destinies to o u r honor and generosity, arc to be immolated on the altur of a detestible and mean par tv emergency, if it he true that the republican Congress backed by the republican ad ministration, deliberately iu tend to tread upon the mise ry and helplessness ol a peo pie who have thrown them selves upon our mercj, then we say and we believe-tint the country will make haste to condemn and to rebuke an infamy so monstrous and so indefensible." In MemorUm. The subject of this sketch was born in Caldwell county North Carolina, Sept. 14th, 1814, and departed this life March 22,: 1900, aged 85 years, 6 monlhs.andlO Jays, Her maiden name wasEdmis ten, but was married to Josh ua Curtice at about the age of 18. -She was the mother of 13 children 8 cf whom preceded her to thespiritland; also her husband some 26 years ago. Two of her sons lost their lives in the war between the States. She professed religion at theugeofl9 and joined the Baptist church at Globe; she moved to Blowing Rock, a tauga county, at the close of the war, and was in the con stitution of Flat Top church of which she lived a consist- ant member up to her death, always abounding in love with the brethren and sisters often speaking of the love of the Savior and her hope of seeing Him who had redeem ed her and of meeting a lov ed husband and, children in that land whtresickness. par ting and death are no more. She ever basked in the smiles of a crucified Savior. The writer has often heard her say she was just waiting the good time of the Lord to take her home. Her daugh ter with whom she was liv- a fl J I ing, Airs, nicnaru urecue, leard her say just a moment efore she expired: "Jesus. sweet Jesus, '.'tune visit me u- gain." She neyer spoke a gain. ' - I would s.'iy to her children grandchildren and friends, not to weep, "For we know if this earthly bouse o" this tabernacle were dissolved we have a building a house eter nal in the heavens-" Again we hear himsaying, "Blessed are they that hath part in the first resurrection, on such tliH second ueath has no pow er. Let us nil try to tollow the admonitions of Aunt Peggy, us we all called her, and let us'live in such a way that we too, when the death angel comes for us, w ill leel and re alize the fact that we wil meet our loved cries in that land so bright and fair.
