Mr. Hoar, from the Committee on
the Library, reported back Senate bill
appropriating $25,000 for the purpose of
erecting a monument to General George
Rogers Clark, in the city of Louisville,
Ky.,s;(inetead of Washington, D. C.) in
recognition of his eminent services to his
country in the occupatton and conquest of
the t Northwestern Territory during the
revolutionary war. The bill was passed
after remarks in eulogy of General Clark
by Messrs. Hoar, Daniel, Sherman, Voor
hees and Blackburn. : ! . j ;
The Senate then proceeded to the con
sideration of the fishery treaty in open ex
ecutive session, and was addressed by
Senator Pugh in favor of its ratification.
Senator Chandler followed in opposition to
ratification. " j j ;
Mr. Teller obtained the floor, and the
treaty went over till to-morrow. I ;
Two vetoes of pension bills were pre
sented, read and referred to tho Committee
on Pensions. In one case the President
declares himself entirety satisfied that the
case had been properly determined by the
Pension Bureau. In the other case no ap
plication had been; made to j the Pension
Bureau, which was accounted for by the
fact that the husband of the proposed
pensioner, who had himself been drawing
a pension for a wound, had been killed by
a pistol ball in a personal encounter, i

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The call of States for the introduction of
bilis having been i dispensed with, the
House went into Committee of the Whole.
(Mr. Springer in the chair), on the Tariff
bill, the woolen schedule being pending. I
Mr. E. B. Taylor, of Ohio, in opposing
the schedule, argued that the passage of
the bill would not benefit the consumer of
wool; itgwouldnot reduce the price of
wool ih this country after it had been in
operation sufficiently long to destroy tbe
home industry. Wool had been placed on
the free list simply because the President
recommended it, and the President knew
no more why ho recommended it than
Dickens' fat boy knew why he went to
sleep so much. i i
After a brief argument by Mr. Brecken
ridge, of Kentucky: in favor of the free
wool clause, Mr, Wilkinp, of Ohio, moved
to strike wool from the f reo list. f j
On-a division the vote stood 03 to 122,
and the announcement was received with
applause on the Democratic side. (
Messrs. Sowden, of Pennsylvania, and
Wilkins and Foran, of Ohio, were the on
ly ! Democrats voting in the affirmative
while Mr. Anderson, of Iowa, voted in the
negative.- ; .-'( j- !
Mr. Butter wortn, of Ohio, wished to ef
feat an arrangement by which a yea and
nay vote might be taken in the House, but
Mr. Millsf declined to comply. Tellers were
then ordered, and Mr. Wilkins motion was
defeaUd 102 to 120 i i
Mr. Mills offered an amendment striking
out the clause imposing a duty of thirty
per cent, ad valorem on carpets and car-
petings; and inserting a clause imposing a
duty of six cents per square yard on hemp
and jute carpet ings; of 20 per cent, ad va
lorem on floor matting ana floor mats, ex
clusively of vegetable substances; and of
forty per cent, ad valorem on all other car
pets ana carpeungo, drucgets, bookings.
mats, rug?, screens, covers, hassocks, bed
sides, of wool, nax.cotton or parts of either,
OTlother meterial. Agreed to.
Mr. liootnmsn, or Ohio, then called up
his amendment orxerea some days ago, re
storing the wool tariff of 1867, and it was
rejected 59 to 95. f I
Un motion or Air. Mills ttie dale on
which the free wool clause shall go into
effect, was fixed as October 1st, 1888; and
the date for taking effect of woolen scbe
dule was fixed as January 1st. 1889.1 This
disposed of the wool schedule. i
At Mr. Lehlback a request tbe paragraph
relating to bonnet?, hoods, &c , was passed
over for a time.
Mr. Mills moved that the paragraph
concerning card cloth be amended so as to
increase the duty rrom 15 to i 20 cents per
square foot, and in case of 6uch cloth
being made oi tempered steel wire irom
25 to 40 cents per square foot. Adopted
Other committee amendments offered by
Mr. Mills, and adopted, were striking out
the India rubber fabric paragraph; fixing
the duty on kaolin at $ 1 per ton for crude
ahd $2 for China clay or wroucnt Kaolin,
i , . i j . t
ana placing me ,uuiy uu rougu iuai uie iu
blocks and sanared at 40 cents per cubic -I
foot. This completed the consideration of
essentially the tariff features of . the bill
(except in regard i to such paragraphs as
have been passed over informally),, and the
administrative portion of the measure, was
taken un.
Mr. Buchanan, of JMew jersey, onerea
an amendment providing that no goods,
the product irf whole or in material part of
convict labor, snau oe importea ior m
purpose of sale or trade. Rejected.
Un motion ot mr. crecKinnaee, o

eluding from tbe provisions or ine section
which provides that ad valorem duties

On motion. Mr. Alius amenameni was
adopted fixing October 1st, 1888. as the
date uDon which the repeal of taxes on
manufactured chewing tobacco, smoking
tnhanno and snuff, shall so into effect.
Mr. Wise, of Virginis, moved to inciuae
in the repeal taxes on cigars, cneroora ana
final-fines. If Mr. Mills bill were passed,
he said, a reduction of the surplus would
nnt he as large as some gentlemen sup
nosed . In no other way could there be so
aura a reduetion of surplus as by the re
peal of the tobacco tax. I By lowering tee
tariff it might be that the revenue would be
increased, and be believed tnai in many
instances it would be. I Applause on the
Rermbhcan side. 1 Mr. Jefferson cad de
nounced the internal revenue system, but
thn American citizen of to-dav saw the tax
collector armed with revolver, carbine, rifle
and shot-gun. Tho question presented was
whether the government , would secure its
necessary revenue. He wanted it disunci-
lv understood that he was in favor of de
riving revenue for the support of the go
vernment by taxation on; foreign products
imported. i
Mr. Nelson, oi Minnesota, m opposing
the motion, sent to the clerk'r;desk and
had read an article written by rroi. tt. M.
Smith, of Columbia College, in which he
declares that it would be a serious finann
cial mistake for the eovernment to give , up
the revenue derived from internal taxa

j Mr. MCMillen said mat mis year s inter
nal system would yield about fiau.uw.wu.
The entire surplus did hot amount to more
than $70,000,000 per annum, so that if the
government embarked on total repeal of the
internal revenue svstem it would be faced
on the threshold with a difference of $50,
000,000 per annum. Here the question was
presented, whether Congress would abolish
the internal revenue system .or reduce the
duty on clothing. He spoke his voice; and
the voice of his side of the House, when be
said that in a contest between wmsKey ana
Clothing he was on me cunning siue.
1 1 .Tnhnatnn'a motion was lost: 27 to 135.
Whon thn vote was announced Mr. John
Bt.nn in mi iron1 in an astonished tone of voice,
What has become of the Republican party T
I thought it was going to vote witn me.
I Mr. Ynsti nf Virginia, offered an amend
ment similar in tiflfent to that offered by Mr
Wise, aud he said that if Virginia stood as
solidlv acainst all the assaults of the Mills
bill as it did in TaanrA to the tobacco fea
ture of it, it would be a great benefit to
that State. Tobacco was as much a product
of the soil as corn or grain; and why there
should be a restriction on the ale of an ag
ricultural product was; something beyond
his understanding, i a.
t Mr. Yost's amendment was defeated 64
to 85. i r
Mr. Sowden. of Pennsvlvania. offered an
amendment abolishing the tax on spirits
distilled from apples, peaches and other
fruits. . - i. . i. -

from the Committee on Appropriations re
ported back the Sundry Civil Appropria

The Senate then took un and after aomo

The Senate then resumed the considera
tion of the bill providing for the adjust
ment of accounts of laborers, workmen
and mechanics, employed by tho govern
ment unaer tne eigni-nour law.
f Mr. Reagan opposed the bill. It had
been claimed for it, he I said, that it was in
the interest of laboring' men. If it were in
the interest of all laboring men and in
volved no improper principles, he would
vote for it; but as it was in the interest of
a few laboring men, at the expense of many
laboring men, it would not have his sup-
ron. - .. i.
Mr. Stewart supported the bill, and of
fered an amendment to prohibit any officer
or the government making any contract
or arrangement wnerebv anv workman.
laborer or mechanic shall work more than
eigm nours a day ; except in special emer
gencies. - :i - ! ... :i
Mr. Ueorgo said that in the committee on
Education and Labor! he had dissented
from the report of the bill. There was not
one scintilla of obligation on the part of
the government to; these 14,000 or 15.000
laborers, who happened to have been in
more favorable condition than other labor
ers ia the United States.in beine emoloved
,in me government worK snops. . It was a
mere gilt a donation.! The money in tbe
Treasury came from taxation, paid by la-
oorers or ine country: it did not grow
mere, tie spoKe or the small compensa
tion of labor at the South. . A laborer who
cultivated for himself was perhaps able -to
raise five bales of cotton, which when clean
ly gamerea ana ginned, brought him forty
dollars a bale at the nearest market. If he
worked for hire and fed himself, he would
not get odo nunarea and; seventy-nve dol
lars a year; and the man who hired him
would get into the i bankruDtcv court.
These men were entitled to some consider
ation. There was no justice, in taxing
them in order to make a donation to other
laborers at the North.
Mr, Dawes moved to amend by inscitine
the words, "whether engaged at a price per
day, or on piece work, or task work."
Agreed to. !
i Mr. Dawes also moved to insert the fol

with which it was bailed.
Mr. E. B. Taylor, of Ohio, inveighed
against the injustice of making cotton lies
fiee, while hoop iron was retained on the
dutiable list. i
Mr. Baync. of Pennsvlvania, could not
understand how a Northern Democrat
could vote to place a duty on hoop iron
and to place cotton ties on tho free list,
unless it was true Ithat, as before the war,
cotton was king, j King Cotton was again
making Northern dough-faces come to the
front. The people of the West were going
to remedy this thing, and would see that
the South should hot again Bit in the saddle
and dominate the Northern States, con
trolling legislation in the interest of the
South as against tho North.
Mr. Townshend, of Illinois, inquired
whether Mr. Bayne would be willing to
place all hoop-iron on the frte iist, and was
answered by an emphatic negative.
Mr. Townshend suggested that there was
a hoop-iron manufactory in the gentleman 'a
district, and that therefore the gentleman
was arguing in the interest or a monopoly
which was levying tribute on every honest
farmer. The gentleman said flatly and
olainlv in his declaration, that he would
not put hoop -iron bn the free list; that he
loved the men who were engaged in toe
hoop-iron industry better than he did the;
men who toiled all! day and needed iron to
bale their hay. l i
Mr. Bay ne inquired why the gentleman
had not offered an amendment placing on
the free list hoop-iron, which his consli-:
tuents consumed in baling hay. - - III
A Tnwn.hanil ir.nli.H that Ihjtliill ll r
like the tariff bill of tbe Republicans in the
47th Congress, which had been framed in
caucus, had been prepared by a proper
committee; it. was hot the outcome of cau
cus action, and he bad not an opportunity
to amend the bill, such as the gentleman
had had, when in the 47th Congress, the
bill had been put through tbe House under
the whip and spur of caucus command and
dictation. K i
Mr. Stewart, of jGcorgia, was glad that
the opportunity presented to test tho sinr
cerity of the Republican party in its pro
fessed love ror the colored man, for two
thirds of the six million bales of cotton
produced in the South were produced by
colored labor, and the tax on cotton ties
was a tax directly affecting their interests. '
Mr. McShane. or Nebraska, offered an
amendment plating on the free list all iron
and steel hoops hot thinner than No. 20
were gauge. Agreed to 80 to 71. )
On motion of Mr. Mills tbe existing rates
of duty were restored on cement and on
whiting and fans wnite. J no duty on
Paris green was, oik motion of Mr. Breck-
enridge, of Arkansas, fixed at 12 per
cent, ad valorem The Potter schedule
which has been passed over was then ta
ken np for cdnsiderasion. On motion of
Mr. Bynum, of Indiana, the duty on china,
porcelain, earthen stone or crockery ware.
was increased trora 45 to ou per cent, ad
valorem.
Mr. Buchanan, bf New Jersey, offered
an amendment striking out tbe schedule
and inserting the (schedule of the existing
law. Rejected after a protracted debate.
The next Paragraph called up was that
relating to green and colored glass bottles.
Mr. Breckenridge, of Arkansas, moved
to make the duty one cent instead of three
fourths of a cent per pound. The amend
ment was adopted. He also offered the
other committee amendments, striking out
the flint and lime glass bottle paragraph ;
raising duties! on Cylinder and crown glass,
polished, not above 24x60 inches, from 15
to 20 cents per square foot, and above that
size from 25 to SO cents ; on unpolisneo cyl
inder and common window glass, not ex
ceeding 10x11 inches, from 1 cent to If
centB per pound; on sizes not exceeding
10x24 inches irom it cents to if cenis; on
sizes not exceeding 24x30 inches from 1J to
2 cents; sizes above that from If to 2J
cents. The amendments were all agreed to.
Tho question pf duty on imported to
bacco was next taken up, and Mr. Mills
moved to strike out the clause fixing the rate
of duty at 85 cents per pound, thus restor
ing the present duty,
Mr. La Follettf, of Wisconsin, spoke for
five minutes upon this motion and desired
further five minutes, but this Mr. Mills de
clined to yield, and upon his1 motion the
committee rpse.
For the purpose or limiting debate Mr.
Mills moved that all debate on pending
paragraphs bo limited to one minute, and
the Republicans being again refused five
minutes, declined to vote, thus leaving the
House without a quorum. Mr. Mills then
moved that the House take a recess until 8
o'clock, a session! having been ordered for
to-night for the consideration of Labor
bills; but as the Journal showed the ab
sence of a quorum this motion was ruled
out of order. Mr. Mills moved to adjourn,
and on a standing vote the motion was
carried. The yeas and nays were ordered,
but the vote ordering them was subse
quently reconsidered, and by virtue of the
standing vote the House at 4.05 adjourned.
Tne Democrat In Embryo,
Greensboro Dally Patriot.
' Last Wednesday evening a West
Market street boy bounded into the
front passage, with his. hair a wet
mop, while he smelt of tadpoles and
water-liles from tbe soles of his bare
feet up.
j. "John Henry," said his mother,
meeting him with a dangerous glitter
in her eye, and taking a grip on his
dripping looks, you've been in swim

t "Not a bit of it mother; I'vo been

"Don't tell me I This is' regular

'"Why, ma, that's hay-seed in my

'We'll float the old bandanna, boys

"Look here, young man, I want.no

A Bombabbll Among tne Torlca.
Cabled to N. Y. Times.
London, July 14. What Mr.
Parnell is going to do quite tran
scends in popular interest, at present,
what Mr. Parnell has or has not
done. His promulgation this week
of the Irish party's position with re
gard to imperial federation is looked
upon as-the most, important political
declaration since Gladstone came out
for home rule. It has amazed the
Conservatives', temporarily paralyzed
tbe Liberal Unionists, and surprised
even the Irish themselves in some
directions. To Mr. Gladstone it was
certainty unexpected at the time,
however well informed the old gen
tleman may be concerning tbe cer
tainty of the success of a movement
which is designed again to make him
Premier. It is a very remarkable
statement, this plan of Mr.
Parnell's. It leaves the Li
beral Unionists without any
legs to stand upon, removes the
words separation and separatists from
the political conflict, puts the Irish
party in an aggressive instead of a
defensive attitude, and insures them
enormeus accession in England,
cotland, and Wales.
Some indication of its importance
is the childish fashion in which it has
been received by the great Conserva
tive and Unionist dailies of London.
While the provincial press has been
full of it, the London organs have
mostly been mat?. The Morning
Adverlizer delivered a wail on the
morning following, beginning with:
"We have no hesitation in reiterat
ing our conviction that the new de
parture is calculated to do mischief
to the Unionist cause, and we think
it would be criminal to shut oar eyes
to the danger."
Swallowing Ilia Record.
Philadelphia Times.
In his speech of acceptance Gen.
Harrison made the assertion that the
principles enunciated by the Repub-;
lican platform are in harmony with j
his personal, convictions. This de
claration came not a moment too
soon. Bat a few years ago General
Harrison favored a thorough revi
sion of the tariff, which the platform
opposes, and he firmly believed that
whiskey should be about the last
thing from which the tax should be
removed, while the platform practi
cally says it should be one of the
first. The fact that General Harri
son is able to bring himself into line
so promptly shows that he- cannot
crow with apparent cheerfulness if
not with actual enjoyment. As the
Chinaman at New Albany said,
"Hoolay for Hallison !"

I am going to tell you of the extraordinary
change your Cuticoba Smmns performed on
me; About the 1st of April last I noticed Fomo
red pimples like coming ont all oyer my body, ,
but thought nothing ot it until tome time later
on, when it began to look like spots of mortar
spotted ou, and wbiob oame off In layers, ao -oompauled
with Itching. I would soratch every
night until I was raw, then the next niaht tb"
scales, being formed meanwhile, were scratched
off again. I In vain did I consult all the- docto
In the country, but without aid. After glvtn
up all hopes of reoovery, I happened to see V
advertisement In the newspaper about you

gradually dropped off and disappeared one tv

was entirely cured. My disease waseczema an-)
