- END 0? THE TARIFF BILL.'
Tha Senate Buries tha Homo Maur br a
Vote ot 33 to 3D.
Tariff agitation Is over for the present ses
sion of Congress. The bill presented by Rep
resentative Dingley received its death blow
ia the Senate. The bill was killed by the
vote of 32 to S3, by whioh the Senate rolusej
to take it ud for consideration.
Senator Frve accurately described tht
condition ot the tariff bill, passed early in
the assion by the House ot Bepresentati ves,
when he said daring the ppocaodmTS In the
Senate: "It Is as deal as Julius Caesar."
Senator Morrill, of Vermont, the Chair
man of the Finance Committee, had demon
strated a few months before to the Senate
and the oountry that the bill cou'd not even
be considerea because five Republican
Senators bad deserted their party, and
he had followed this statement with
the pub io announcement that he
would not take the time ot the Senate
again to consider the bill. The motion and
the remarks of Senator Morrill and the
cpeech of Senator Frye w 're all part of a
prearranged nrogramme to tive nonoe to
the oountry that no tariff legis'.at'on would
be onat'ted by the Fifty-iourth CV
The Aral vote disclosed the fact that the
silver Republicans bad gained one vote

not pay any attention until Mr. Adair, in
stead ot holding up his hands, reaohea for
his pistol, lying close by.
The robber fired on him, the ball grazing
his head, stunning him so that he fell to the
floor. Doubtless the robbers thought Adair
dea l and rushed inside to get the plunder,
but Goodwin and Sutton, belnJn their way,
thongh unarmed, were fired upon, and
Goodwin fell, fatally -wounded.
Meanwhile the oashier, lying on the floor,
fired two shots at the robber nearest him.
They were returned and a bullet went

IDOAB W. NYE.
Ed?ar W. "Bi!l Nye was born on August
28, 1850, fn Shirley. PIcataquis County, Me.
He was brought up, however, on a
farm on the banks of the St.
Croix Elver, Wis., his parents go
ing West when he was two years old.
He reoeived an academical education at
River Falls, Wis., and in 1878 was admiitel
to tbe bar in Wyoming Territory. He savs
he himself flna ly heoied the warnng of the
authorities not to practice law after his
law practice was nearing zero.
His first effort at writing was in the Cheyenne
Sun at tl a column. He worked for a time
on the Denver Tribune and thon became the
editor of tbe Laramie Boomerang.
He christened tbe paper after aa obstinate
mule he owned, which he called Boomer
ang, because, be said, "yoa eould never tell
where it woa d strike," The mule was in a
livery stable, over which was Bill Nye's edi
torial sanctum. Callers were instru-tted "to
twist tba tail of the gray mu'e and take the
elevator." Bill Nye male his reputation on
the Boomerang, whioh began to be quoted
all over, and spread smiles from one end of
the oountry to tbe other.
