Senator Grrnian, of Maryland, in his speech criticising the President's letter on the tariff to Chairman Wil son, introduced a dramatic episode by calling Messrs. Harris, Vest and Jones to corrolnrrate his charges of duplicity against the President, and each agreed that the i-tatcmciit of the Maryland Senator was correct. Mr. Gorman's justification for this unusual proceed ing was that the President' letter "was the most uncalled for, the most extra ordinary, the most unwise communica tion that ever came from a President of the United States. It placed this IkmIv-in a position w here its lnemlxTs must see to it that the dignity and hon or of this chnmlicr must lie prc-crve.1. It places me iu a position where I must tell the story as it occurred. The limit of enduraiioe hasliecn reached." KESKXTKII AS IXKASIors, After pausing to bear the Matoments of Messrs. Harris, Vest and Jones, to the effect that the President was ac quainted with the Senate Committee's compromise bill and had expressed his satisfaction with it, Mr. Gorman pro ceeded with his arraignment of the President "This" he said, "is a mirst extraordinary proceeding for a Demo crat elected to the highest place in the government to join with the commune to traduce the Senate of the United States, to blacken the characters Senators who are as honorable as they dare to be, who are as jKitriotie as they ever can Ire, who have done as much to serve their irarty as the men who are now the beneficiaries of your lalror and mine, to taunt and jeer us before the country as the advocates of trusts, as lrcing guilty of dishonor and jK'rfidy. The limit of endurance has been reach ed. There is no power, no matter how- great, in this country, even the Presi dent with his patronage, that would keep me silent longer under the charg es, under the imputation so fully made from such distinguished quarters. I burl it track to him and say that this treatment of bis fellows is infamous. It is destructive to the government that men in high position should attempt to lower this Imdy. No man can reach here by devious ways and remain long. It is comprscd of men w ho represent the lrcst thought of the country, men who have st.rod and lt tied for tariff reform when the cowards in higher places dared not show their li.-.ids (ap plause in th" galleries); men, who, in another place, were overrun and bad not the courage to fight a tyrant, st.r.r.1 here at the risk of health, at the risk irf fortune, of all that is dear, and saved the lilrerties of the country when these cowards could not lie seen. We will not Ire tradu.Mil longer." Til K Or.W, lrfTV. ivcverting to the duty on oral, Mr. Gorman said :" Free oral would give to a single foreign orroration all the oral trade from llostoii north. Fr.-e dul would not U'lietit a single man or woman in this country. Whodemands it? The professional, the theoretical tariff" reformer said it would clu-ajieii the cost of manufacturing; yet, math ematically, free oral would not give the New Knglaud manufacturer more than thnv-quarters-of 1 per cent, of manu facturing. There was but one great concern on the face of the earth that wanted free co-.il. Ill Nova Scotia there was a dorrsit of oral as broad aud as rich as any on the fa.v of the earth. The government of Canada ha.l con trolled it. Five years ago the Domin ion government was induced to change its irolicy. The small leases were wiptil out. The Canadian I'aci lie, that great artery of Great Uritain, together with men from the United States asrciated themselves together and secured a !! years' lease of these coal fields, on con dition that they should pay into tiie Canadian treasury 1 cents a ton royal ty. If coal were free, the oral of Nova Scotia wruld displace that of the Unit ed States in New Kugland, and the treasury of Canada would Ire enriched by money that ought to go into the trc:isury of the United States. Gird knows we have enough trusts now. I will never consent to allow this mam moth foreign corporation to invade our territory and bike the sulrstamv away from our xiple." THE Sfli.VK SCHKIrfl.E. Ill dealing with the sugar question, Mr. Gorman strongly intimated the President's ir.rsiti.ru involv.il a Irctray al of the Lrfiuisiaiui senators. In sujr port of this be said : " Louisiana through its two senator- (Gilrsou and White) wanted to know before we en tered Uirn the caiiqruigu what the irol icy of the party was to lie under the nppureiitly free trade resolutions adopt ol at Chicago. After a great deal of talk and careful ouisi.lcrutioii that oin di.latc of our party told them, as he told the public through his letter, that the Democratic iKirty was not to de stroy industries; that it should place a fair duty uir.ni dutiable articles, a reve nue duty ; that the bill which had met his approval was the Mills bill, and on the line of the Mills bill the Dem.rcrat ic arty would act. The junior senator from New Jersey (Mr. Smith), Mr. lirice and myself did that, giving our time and our money and everything that man can give for the success of the party. e were not at the eoniereiiee with the candidate, hut had it from lroth sides what (recurred. They want ed to know if the Democratic orgalii zation of which we were a part put the same onistructioii upon it and would be in favor of that line of procedure hereafter. At that solemn conclave we all said : " Yes, it is a dutiable article ; it is to be and must lie the oiriierst.nie by which we will overthrow McKin- leyisui. You shall have it." IlKFIfrlS THK r-KKSHrKXT. Ill sjicaking finally of the President Mr. Gorman said : " I U-lieve he Ls one irf the most remarkable men ever in public life in the last .10 years in any civilized country on the face of the glolie. To elect him the first time he was a candidate, I gave my omstant, unremitting lal-.r. I stood by him when we had but few who had the moral outrage to walk through the slime and tilth and uphold him. I sii(r ported his nomination for the second time, though not agreeing with the MIicy of his declarations in the m -s- -sage of 1SN7, and I st.rod by mv friend, the senator from Ohio (Mr. liriv),u ho gave his substance and bis time and everything that a man can give to serve a great caase. I have given the President a fair support and an honest supirort; never Hulrscrvient, never swayed by the want of patronage or by patronage ; ready to stand with him on whatever was right. He has no cause of o mi plaint against me. Iam not bLs debtor. Let him answer for himself." Evolution. "Wow!" be cried, wringing bis lutnd iu pain as she let go. "Y(ru are getting to have a tremendous grip on you, my darling." Iroking him tenderly in the eyes she said: "tJeorge I will not conceal it fnrm you any longer.

This time the baron mpiired a longer pause. Without taking his eyes from Conrad's facte, he put out his bund and felt his way Imckward to the armchair, where he sat staring for a full minute.

The custom continued (ra long time after the tax on adver tisements ha.l Ireen removed. The liondou newspapers also made a distinction Ivtwecu a simple notice of a death, for which they charged 5 shil lings, and a brief obituary, for w hich thev demanded seven and sixirelice. tine day Dr. Thomas Hume, a grave, satirical Imdoii doctor, called at the office of a morning journal and sileiitly plaeed upon the counter the announce ment of the death erf a friend, together with 5 shilling. The clerk glanced at the paper, tossed it one side and said grullly, "Seven and six !" I have froiucntly," answered Hume, "had occasion to publish these simple liotio-, and I have never In-fore Uvii'cbarged more than o shillings." "Simple !" repeated the clerk with out looking up. "There's an addtil line, 'universally beloved and deeply regretted, isn't there? Seven and six." Hume pnxluccd the additional half cprwn and laid it dcli'ieratcly by the others, oletcrving iu his most solemn tone, "Congratulate yourself, sir, that this is an expense which yourcxecutors w ill never lie put to."
