I'.ill on Krvrnut and Taxation.
Washington. Sept. w. TSen ate.1
The conference report on the Taritf
bill was taken up and Senator Carlisle
addres - ed tlie Senate. He would hot,
ne saiu, attempt to aiscuss tne eco-
homic theory of the bill, it was now
about to pass .entirely from the ha,ids
of the Senate and beyond its -conitrol
and a discussion of the question could
not be undertaken without neglecting
the last opportunity to state what ithe
main provisions at the mtastire were
anj uhat would be its p'n bable etject
on taxatioii. It was not his purpose to
attempt to state the effect of the meas
ure on the public revenue, because it
would be impossible o do so with 'any
deirree of accuracy. But lie could state
approximately what its effect on tixa-
Hon would be. iNp member ot the fi
nance committee had ventured during
the tariff delate to txoress the opinion
as to w hat the effect of the bill would
be on the revenues of the Government,
except the Senator from Iowa (Senator
Allison.) He asserted that the bill, s it
now stood (except sugar and molasf.es)
removed from the free list and placed
on the dutiable list more than it took
from the dutiable list and placed on
the free list. He'also asserted that
the bill would reduce the revenues and
increase taxation; that while it woiuld
not increase the revenues, it would! in
crease the taxation of the people by
increasing! the prices of irvJcles of
domestic production. If it were true
that the revenue that would be kle-
rived under the conference biU ion the'
basis 6f importation of ihSo) w ould be
over $ 225,000,000, then the average rate
of duty on dutiable articles wouid be
57 7-10 per cent, without taking into
account the effect of the ninth selec
tion of the administrative bill which
would add from 4 to 5 per cent, Unlless
all his calculations were at", fault the
average rate of duty under the con
ference bill and the administrative bul
on dutiable articles would - be 60 per
cent, instead of 45 per cent under the
existing law.
He went on to give the figures as to
the increased Taxation under thelon
ference.bill, stating it to be, to the&ron
and steel schedule, $10,000,000; onhe
woolen.schedule, i4,ooo,ooo;on the llax
and liuen schedule, f5,ooopo; on tin
plate, $8,735,006. and on tin in pigs or
bars, $1,357,000; on cotton schedule,
$2,000,000. -
Senator ; Carlisle spoke t'for. nez.rly
three hours, and at the close of his
speech, jsome of his statants and
hgures I were chc'Ienged 'canator
Aid rich. ' ' 1 T g
Senator Allison also criticized sjev
eral of Senator Carlisle's statements
and denied their accuracy. The Sjon
ator from Keutucky, he said, had rep
resented the Conference bill aa only
diminishing the revenue some f 2,op6,-,
000. He, Senator Allison, diffej'ed
from him absolutely as to the effect! of
the bill, and gave it as his belief that
it would reduce the revenues to jthe
amount of between $40,000,000 and $43,-
000,000. j
During a suspension of the debate,
the conference , reports was presented
and agreed to upon the bill to transfer
the signal service to the Agricultural
Department, and upon several other
bills of less general interest. .
The debate on the tariff bill was 're
sumed by Senators Gray, Higgins and
Stewart. j
..Then Senator Daniel closed the dis
cussion. He congratulated the Seriate
and the country upon the approaching
close of the long and wearisome strug
gle over the Tariff bill. The discus
sion had been unusually prolonged,
because it was the; first time in the his
tory of tariff legislation that a Tariff
hill had been .discussed in all its items
ia either House. . -
The Senate thea proceeded to vote
by veas and nays n the conference re
port and.it was adopted by a vote of
33 to 27. Republican SenatorsP lumb,
rettigrew and Paddock voted in the
negative. The bill as now ready for the
signatures of the two presidicg officers.
then of the President. 1 he annate ad
journed.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The Senate bill was passed or the
firotection of actual settlers on tte pub
ic lands in Florida, on which deposits
of phosphate have since been dis
covered. . " , '
Throughout the afternoon there' was
manifested in the House every appear
ance of an early dissolution, of Con
gress. Members congregated in tte
space in front of the Speaker's desk
and earnestly sought for recognition.
Such as were recognized had, for the
most part, only private bills to be con
sidered. ; ' ' I
Mr. Holman, of Indiana,, had a bill
of a constituent for the recovery of
$200 for a horse taken by the United
States troops during the war. He im
mediately became the target for vocal
slings and sarcasm of members who
have suffered from his numerous ob
jections, but the discussion was entire
ly good-natured, and -5 his bill was
promised to be passed. The House1,
finally, discovering itself without
quorum at 3:45 p. m adjourned.

of the High Court, for a writ to prevent
the Tipperary --magistrates from pro
ceeding w ith the hearing tin the ground
of bias against the accused. The argu
ments on the moticn for this writ are
likely to be of great length, as a large
number of counsel have been engaged.
Tho opening speech in favor of the
writ was maoe py 1 imotny ueaiev,

1 A Famine Inevitable An American Iteltef
I Commit" e Fanned - It Appeal to I be

. f-rinc.
New ; York. Sfpt. v"- The Su to
morrow 'will publish an apH-al to the
people of Americ.l from the .mern.u
Conrmlttee fir the relief of the limine
in Ireland; The most trustworthy in
formation from public ami private
sources in all parts of Ireland is to tW
eirect that the complete failure of the
potato crop makes another great famine
in that, most unfortunate land practi
cally inevitable. " The point of actnal
sulit ring from hunger has not yet been
reached, but the days of starvation, un
less help comes. ar- not faroff. In the
last great famine in irs 7t the Irish
leaders Parnell, .Davitt ami 'others f
who voiced the country's appeal fi?r
food, 'le'lgel themselves ntt r airalir"
to appear as .supplicants h lore the
world on behalf ufstaiing Ireland..
A movement is on foot .among well
known men, not connected with any
Irish societies or political bodies, to
bring to the attention of America the
appalling calamity which now .threat
ens Ireland, before actual death from
hunger has 'claimed' any victims.- It
has been decided by them to organize.
under the name of the Ameiican Com
mittee for Relief of Famine in Ireland.
It is'proposed to make its work cover
both North-and South America. The
personnel of the American Committee
contains the following names Chair
man, brines Grant Wilson; Honorary
Chairmen, Rutherford B. Hayes. dro
ver Clereland; Vice Charimen, James
Redpath, ;George Lhret, hlli6tt I-.
Shepard. lames l'hillips, Jr.; Treasurer,
the New York Sun; Secretary, Arthur
Dud'ey Vinton. ; ; '
1 lie appeal says the worst fears haw
been realized. The potato rot or blight
has spread through all parts of I reland.
It will not do to wait until the Irish
people have proved the existence of
the famine by dying by scores iromine
lack of food. Shall men fall dead upon
the public hisrhwavs because Ameri-J
cans have said: "We will give relief
next month but not now!" The Irish
people need aid now. The American
Committee appeals tor immediate con
tributions ot money, provisions ami
clothing. 1
iVllnoD Notea. .
Lasi Saturday was a busy day in
Wilson. Six hundred ami thirty-eight
bales of cotton w ere brought in on that
dav. besides laree quantities ot tooac-
co, and all sold for: fair prices. The
farmers in this sefciion are in tine
spirits, and are beginning to realize the
bright nrof-oects ahead of them.
Their cotton crop w ill oe mucn net-
a 11-
ter than the most sanguine nau antici
pated. Many farms have already
yielded a Dale 01 cotton to me acre,
arid there is still more in the field to
be picked out. One farrrier near town
has already received twenty bales from
twelve acres, and tne vieia generally
is estimated at 00 per cent, above for
mer vears.
The tobacco crop has also been very
fine, and under the excellent manage
ment of the Wilson Tobacco- Ware
house 'company, has brought highly
remunerative prices. The sales have
been large, since the first, on the 10th
nf Rntenihr. Evervbodv seems to be
well pleased and fully determined to
greatly increase their crop, next year.
The weather has' been exceptionally
fine for saving both ciops, and all the
. a 1 . 1 - :L
labor needed nas Deen ootaineo wiin
but little difficulty. As a consequence
of this encouraging state ofthings, the
price of real estate is steadily ..ad
vancing, and a new era of prosperity
seerns to be dawnine upon us. The
Register of Deeds is kept busy cancel
ling mortgages, which is another hope
ful sign of the times, and affords grat
ifying evidence of a return of pros
perity. .
Several of our citizens have gone
down to "Wilmington to hear the kev
Sam lones. and more will follow du
ring the week. Those who have heard
him seem to be well pleased, and think
great good likely to be accomplsihed
bv his Dreachinsr. He is certainly a
wonderful mau. and the good work he
is doing should commend him to all,
although some may diner witn mm as
to his methods. ,
The Young Men's Christian Associa
tion here.-? which has been for some
time struggling for existence, seems to
have recently taken new lease of life.
and aided byi the liberality of our citi
zens, has fitted up a new hall and ad
ded considerably to Its membership.
All wish it well and nope that it may
be so conducted as to result in much
good to the young men , of this com
munity.
The equinoctial storm, for which we
had been looking, passed us by, but w e
have had cold, cloudy, windy weather
for several days, making out-door life
uncomfortable and fires pleasant. The
season of the "sear and vellow leaf is
creeping upon us, like old age, and re
minding us that
"Ltm have their tlT to fall.
And flowers to, wither at the North wind's
breath."

Don't the Bible eay that the man that

better quit threatening and do it,
its time. Sister when you go on lha

When you get on the train do you tell

buy a ticket or do vou buy It?
Old Bam urn's circus just for one day

Barnum would let you In and then

ers are largely to blame for this stata

country preaching that salvation Is free
until half of you are about to starve to
death. (Laughter.) Like the old negro
that said, "Brethren the water of life
U free, but the pitcher costs some thing,
and I Is the pitcher." (Laughter.) It
suits a Methodist preacher to be poor,
he has to move so often, now when you
have to move about it don't take roa
long, all you have to do ls just to pick

and you are ready to go. (Laughter.)
After the collection Prof. r,u

Now I believe In tho omniscience and
omnipresence of God as much as any
man oi my mental capacity, and yet I
believe God Is powerless to save a maa

say that God ls powerless to save ansa
