Mr. Beck gave notice that instead
of replying to Mr. Sherman's speech
of yesterday this morning, as he had
intended he would do so next Tues,
day, on' the bill to substitute coin
certificates for gold and uilver certifi
cates; and he also notified the Sena
tor front Ohio Ih&'j he wayld read ex
tracts from the speeches of Senators
Allison, Ingalls and others denounc
ing i he silver dollar demonetization
in terms compared with which his
own words were mild.
The Senate resumed consideration
of the urgency deficiency bill, ihe
que d1 ion being on the striking out of
the provision inserted by the House
requiring the public printer to en
force rigidly the eight-hour law. The
item was Btruck out yeas 32, nays

Yeas Messrs. Aldrich, Allison,
Bate, Beck, Blackburn, Browne, Call,

Jones, Of Nevada; Manderpn, Mitch

Spooner, Stewari Stockbridge, Tel

An additional section was inserted in
the bill containing a large number of
items (generally small in amount) al
lowed py the accounting officers of
the treasury, or by judgments of the
Court of Claims, since the dates cov
ered in the bill as it caine from the
House.
, By amendment tho total appropri
ation for judgments of the Court of
Claims is increased from $263,000 to
$455,000.
Mr. Payne offered an amendment
appropriating "$60,000 for the pay of
assistant custodian? and janitors of
public buildings all over the country
for the current fiscal year, and made
a statement in explanation and advo
cation of it, showing the redu'etion in
pay and service at the New York and
Cincinnati, Ohio, custom houses and
other buildings for lack of appropria
tions. !
This amendment provoked a good
deal of discussion, in which Mr.
Faulkner stirred up Mr. Plumb by
replying to some statements made by
Messrs. Plumb and Dawes on Februa
ry 10 in regard to extravagance ou
public buildings.
Mr. Plumb said his remarks on that
occasion had been principally direc ed
to the new library building in Wash
ington, j Me read troia tc-; list oi ex
penditures in connection with thst
building, the first item being
$2,772 ; for watchmen, a larger
sum than that spent for watch
men for the pension building, which,
had been five years in course of con
struction, and that for a build.ug oi
which the basement plans were not
yet drawn.
That is not true, said Mr. voor-
nees rising.
"It is true," Mr. Plumb rejoined."
"I state that it is not true,' repeat
ed Mr. Yoorhees. The plans for the
basement have been ready for six
months."
'I am informed," said Mr. Plumb,
that there is an advertisement in
one of the city papers stating that
specifications for the basement of
that building are not complete, and
will not be till tomorrow.
There is no such statement or ad
vertisement in any city paper, Mr.
Yoorhees asserted.
"I am informed," said Mr. Plumb,
"that when, a few days ago, the Sec
retary of the Interior came to consid
er the question of advertising for
bids for the basement of
that building he was informed
that the plans and specifications
for the basement were not yet drawn."
In continuing to read the list of ex
penditures for the library building,
Mr. Plumb mentioned " messenger
at $600 a month."
Six hundred dollars a mouth for a
messenger T queried Mr. voornees.
"I said $60, replied Mr. Plumb.
"Nos you said $600," Mr. Voorhees
insisted.
Well, I wonder it was not $600
a month," said Mr. Plumb.
And I'wonder that you did not
call it $6,000," was Mr. Voorhees' re
joinder.
Mr. Plumb continued to read the
list of expenditures and criticise
them, and after some time notified
Mr. Voorhees that he had now in his
hands a paper containing the adver
tisement which he had referred to,
and that the advertisement said that
the basement specifications could be
seen tomorrow.
Mr. Voorhees suggested that the
advertisement did not say that the
specimens were not prepared.
Mr. Plumb: "No; but still that is
significant."
Mr. Voorhees: ".kverythiug is sig
nificant to the Senator from Kansas."
Mr. Voorhees referred to the high
character of the men composing the
library commission one Democrat
and two Kepublicans namely, the
Secretary of tne Interior, Mr. Spot
ford, the librarian, and Mr. Clarke,
the capitol architect. These three
men might rafely, he thought, be en
trusted with expenditures of public
money.
At the close of the discussion the
vote was taken on Mr. Payne's amend
ment and it was not agreed to yeas
24, nays 24. The bill having been
reported from the committee of the
whole, Mr. Payne renewed his amend
ment in the Senate and it was again
rejected yeas 2o, nays 30.
The pension bili went over till to
morrow with tbe understanding that
after the morning business it would
be taken up and discussed under the
five-minute rule and a final vote
taken before adjournment. Executive
session. Adjourned.

bills reported from the Indian com

this agreement, the Indians relin
quish a large part of their
present reservations and in lieu accept
smaller and clearly defined reser
vations, the payment of a stipulated
sum of money and allotment of
land in eeveralty under certain con
ditions. The money is not to be paid
directly to the Indiana, but is to be
expeuded in advancing th&m in civili
zation. The next bill considered was
tha.t to divide tho great Sioux Indian
reservation into separate and smaller
reservations. This was amended and
pa93( d. It also strictly defines the
limits of new reservations, provides
for allotments of land in severalty
and the expenditure of certain sums
annually in advancement of the In
dians in education, husbandry, cattle
raising and other conditions of civili
zation. Both bills passed and open
to settlement lands relinquished by
the Indians. Adjourned.

Washington IVst Democratic).
Tiio tariff bill prepared by the
Deui-vcratic majority of Ihe Ways and
Means committee, a digest of which
was printed in the J'oxt yesterday, is
noti an ideal revenue reform bill, nor
is it such a measure as the gentlemen
who framed it would hsve presented
had they been clothed with plenary
legislative authority. Practical states
manship recognizes the limitations
imposedj by conflicting views and op
posing interests. It inquires, "What
can be done ?'' as well as "What
ouglr to be done V It confines itself,
to the practicable even when the full
measure of justice reaches far beyond
that point.
The bill just reported, and which
is fiercely attacked as a free trade
measure, Las more of protection than
the Federalists or Whigs ever
dreamed cf. It ia altogether too pro
tective to meet tho views of the men
who framed it, or most of those who
will support it, but it is asailed and
will bo bitterly fought by the extreme
protectionists, because it attacks the
outposts of their citadel.
Tho committee has acted wisely in
framing a moderate measure. Vicious
as th protection theory is, oppress

whom it ,ba3 falsely professed to
benefit, our industries have been ad

Springfield, Mass., March 7. The
new office of the Evening Union was
burned about 4 o'clock this afternoon,
and the biaza was attended with the
most Bickening horror ever witnessed
in this city, six of the employees
meeting a terrible death, most I of
them jumping from the fifth story
and beiDg crushed into a shapeless
mass below. Six others were badly
injured. Tho fire was first discovered
in tho mailing room and clouds of
smoke were pouring out of the lower
story windows before the fifty souls
on the upper floors wero aware of
their danger. The flames shot up
an old elevator in the rear, cutting
off escape by the stairway, and most
of the employees who escaped
found their Way to the ground
by way of a rocf in -.the rear.
Spmo were cut off by the composing
room and there is still terrible sus
pense, as several fell back into the
Haines. The employees who rushed
into the editorial room were cut off
from escape in the rear and had to
face the horrible alternative of burn
ing to death or jumping to the side
walk below. The fire department re
sponded promptly. A ladder was put
to the fouith story and the sight of
rescue so near seemed to madden the
suffering group at two windows, who
diopped in succession to the side
walk below. Six fell in this way,
some 01 them were, forced on and
some madly leaped and the crowd
groaned and turned their heads
away as they whirled through
the air. The deal are as follows:
Henry I. Goulding, foreman of the
ton composing room, burned to
death; Miss G. Thompson, proof
reader; Mrs. Frederick E. Tarley, edi
torial department, feli from a? window
and was kdled; Mr. Lamazon, of Que

FOR GOVERNOR AND I.T. GOVERNOR.
TUE NOMINATION FOB CONGRESS; IN THS
FIRST DISTRICT.
Cor. oi the News and Observer. -
Geelnville, N. C , March 2, 1888.
The time is fast approaching when
the Democratic party of tho State is
to name its nominee for Governor.
The 30th of May, the time selected
for holding the convention, is draw
ing near, and it well behooves the
party ;o b-Jgin to fix its eye upon the
man most certain to lead us to vic
tory. The enemy is deeply inter
ested in passing events and is doing
more than simply watching and waitr
ing. The Republicans are now7 de
vising planS and shrewdly preparing
a way by which they hope to carry
the State at the election. They are
quick to discover what seems to them
to be a vantage ground, and they Cun
ningly set to work to maka it sure.
The Democratic convention must
make no mistake in its choice. ''
No unwise nomination must bq al
lowed, for in our opinion, the success
of the party at the next election de
pends more than ever before upon
the standard-beater choeen. The
people aro becoming more and more
independent and thoughtful every
day, and many are not disposed to ac
cept with complacency any candidate
the party iu convention may put for
ward. Not the favorite candidate
with the politicians, but the strong
est and most popular one be
fore tho people should be
the convention's choice. "Politics,
in the last anal;, sb, means votes," is
ono of the terse, weighty expressions
attributed to Gerr. Toombs. And the
aim of the Democratic party should
be to cast about for a candidate Who
could be most easily elected. Availa
bility is the proper and most impor
tant thing to consider. There; are
more than a half dozen names being
prominently mentioned for the guber
natorial nomination. All are worthy
men and well fitted for the great of
fice of Governor. But when we con
sider availability along with ability
and strong points of character, Daniel
G. Fowle fur excels them all. Fowle
would be the strong candidate before
the people, and lead the party to cer
tain victory. Known as he is all over
North Carolina, bis great popularity
is widespread. It is not circumscrib
ed to any oho place or locality, but is
general throughout the .State. 'His
brilliant and effective canvass in 1876
is well remembered by the people,
and as our nominee for Governor the
people of the State would rally to his
standard as they would not do for an
other whose name is now spoken' 0:
I
Whether tno politicians are favorable
to him or not we are unable to say,
but we believo the masses of I the
people throughout North i Car
olina would hail his nomi
nation wish -genuine enthusiasm
and great r joicing. And besides, if
the honors mid emoluments of office
bhould be the reward of great parti
san service, who is more deserting
than Daniel G. Fowle ? H'here is tho
man that hai done bo much and re
ceived so little party recognition T
Only contemplate the constant valua
ble services he has always rendered
to the Democratic- party. The mag
netism 01 tne man ana nis unsur
passed eloquence have thrilled North
Carolinians time and again. He has
been, and is now, a tower of strength
in our party.and justly merits the high
est honors that the Deniocracv of th
State can bestow upon him. Let the
ticket be Fowle and Alexander and
the result need sot be feared. S. B.
Alexander is a man of a high order of
ability and is popular. He is a splen
did representative of the farming
class of our population, and as the
nominee for Lieutenant Governor
would make a capitally good run. The
farmers have hundreds of men in
their ranks eminently qualified for the
highest offices in the State. Their
claims should not be ignored in mat
ters of political preferment, and at
this time it would be an unsafe and
hazardous policy for the party to
which they render allegiance to fail
to give them fair and die considera
tion. I
