VOL. LXVII. KILLING TIME DEMOCRATIC SENATORS DELAY- ING THE TARIFF BILL. Ex-Speaker Reed Continues Obstruction to Work In the House, ~Benedict Ap. pointed Public Printer. WasHiNagToN, April 6.—~The result of the first week's debate on the tariff bill in the Senate is not encouraging to those who wish for speedy action on the bill, and Senator Hill, Murphy, Brice and Irby, who, intentionally or unintentionally, aided the Republicans in their efforts to delay the debate, have been sharply criticised by Demo- erats. Senator Hill's speech today has also brought additional Democratic eriticism upon his head. It was, of course, expected that the Republicans would resort to fillibustering when the Democrats began to take steps to bring the debate to a close, but to the sur- prise of everybody they began fillibus- tering for delay almost at the very be- ginning of the debate, and it is clear that they intend to keep it up to the end. Senator Harris, who has charge have tried so often to do of late. Coxey’s army would better take warning from the treatment that is being meted out by the Washington authorities to the advance guard of the western wing of his army, which arrived here Saturday night. There were forty odd of them, They were met by a detachment of police, march- ed off and locked up. Representative Meyer, of Louisiana, has introduced a bill for the coinage of the seigniorage, which meets the ob- jection raised in the President's veto and also adopts his suggestions of pro- viding for an issue of bonds. But somehow the bill isn’t popular, A np ne MILLEHEIM, Millhelm and Vi- Items of Iaterest from claity. Jolly Joe Winters the grocery drum- mer of New Berlin, and “Fatty” Wil- son, the popnlar candy man of Mif- flinburg, registered at the Musser house. What they don’t know about toll-gate keepers is not worth know- ing. Johnny Waite and Mart Garman, of the bill, proposes to force a show of | hands this week, by asking that the] sittings of the Senate be prolonged two i hours a day and that the tariff bill be | taken up earlier each day. He in- tends to put the Senators on record in | order that the country may who | are in favor of pushing the debate to a | conclusion and who are the obstruct ors, and he doesn’t believe that when | the issue is squarely raised any Demo- | crats will be found in the latter class, Hon. Patrick Walsh, the new Sena- tor from Georgia, met with a cordial | reception from his future colleagues, | most of whom have long been his per- | sonal friends. Senator McLaurin doesn’t like the idea of being confounded with Repre- sentative McLaurin, of South Caroli- | na, who has been talking of leaving the Democratic party to form a silver | party in the and west, The Senator is opposed to any such move- ment. To use his own words: “I am a silver man, but I believe in the mis- See Ig 1:3 south sion and the success of the Democratic party, and I think that we can settle these disputed questions within our party organization.” That's about the way most of the silver Democrats feel about it, too. The largest number of signatures ever attached to for a call to be issued for a caucus were on that to Mr. Holman, chairman of the caucus, asking that a caucus be held Tuesday of this week to | decide what should be the policy of | the party in the House towards that | plank of the National platform which declared that the tax on state bank | currency should be repealed. Repre- sentative Swanson, of Virginia, ciren- | lated the request for a caucus, as a re- | sult of his making a personal poll of | the Democrats in the House the question of the repeal of the tax. He found that nine-tenths of the Demo- erats favored repeal, but all except 129 | of them insist that it shall be accom- panied with more or less Federal con- | trol over the currency to be issued by the state banks. The House commit- | tee on Banking and Currency pigeon- | holed the question some time ago be- | cause of failure to agree on a bill. The | whole matter will be talked over at the caucus and will, it is hoped, be definitely settled one way or the other, | although the present understanding is | that the caucus is not to take action that will be considered binding upon those who attend it. Somebody, probably from pure vi- | ci ousness, started a story a few days | ag © that Senators Hill and Murphy, | would antagonize the nomination of Mr. Benedict to be Public Printer. They will do nothing of the sort Senntor Hill said a week ago that he was glad so good a Democrat as Mr. Benedict had been selected for the place and that he expected him to be confirmed without opposition. Sena- tor Murphy has also expressed himself as pleased with the nomination. Mr. Benedict arrived in Washington to- «day and he expects to be confirmed, submit his bond and be sworn in as Public Printer before the 15th of the month. Ex-Speaker Reed capped the climax forabsurd and needless fillibustering on Saturday when he prevented the carrying out of a special order setting apart that day for eulogies on the late Senator Gibson, of Louisiana, by fore. ing an adjournment by raising the point of no quorum on a motion to discharge the warrant issued by the Sargeant at Arms to arrest absentees «luring the time the contested election wases, settled last week, were pending, All of the blame for this state of af- fairs does not, however, belong to Reed and the Republicans. There are 218 Democrats in the House, and if 179 of them would remain constantly in their seats Reed and his obedient gang would be powerless to stop the wheels of legislation in their efforts to compel Demoeratic a req jest addressed on two wheelmen from Bellefonte visited our town one day last week, and five of our bicyclists joined them in a spin to Brush Valley; no doubt they had an Installation of officers of the I.

If the finder conceals it, he is liable to the charge of larceny or theft. The drawer of a check may counter- mand its payment at any time previ- ous to its payment or acceptance by the bank.

A material alteration in a bill note as in the date, or sum, or time of payment, will discharge all parties who have not consented to such alter- written agreement oar ation. Where there are indorsors, a holder of a promissory note must demand payment on the very day it is due, and if payment be refused, give prompt notice to the indorsers of the fact, if he wishes to hold them responsible.

We must have a congressman who does not favor monopoly tariffs like the M'Kinley act. ay “But for Republican votes in the House,” says a contemporary, “the Seiguniorage bill would have been adop- ted, the President's objection to the contrary notwithstanding.” This is true; but it is also true that but for a Republican congress and a Republican President there would have been no seigniorage.
