NO COMISE YEI
And None in Sight in the
Tariff Deadlock.
WASHINGTON, July2s.—One of the most
entertaining and remarkable features in
the present great national performance on
the floor of the senate was the part played
in it by Senator Hill (dem., N. Y.) as the
defender of President Cleveland against
the assaults of democratic senators in con
nection with the president's now fang, us j
letter to Mr. Wilson, the chairman of he
house conferees on the tariff bill.
Mr. Ilill took the ground that the letter
being unofficial was no violution of the
constitution; that it was no attack upon
the senate, or upon any senator, but that '
it was an honest effort to carry out the
policy and theories of the democratic !
party, and to advance the interests of the
people. As to its being nil unwarranted j
attempt to interfere with pending legisla- '
tion, Mr. Hill asserted that the blauie lay
with those senators who, instead of acting
on their own judgment and resposibility, |
"badgered" the president to give them his I
views upon the compromise bill which ,
they had prepared.
lie wound up a two hours' speech (brist
ling all over with the spikes and spears
of wit and sarcasm) by comparing the
senatorial conspiracy against President
Cleveland to that which compassed the I
assassination of Julius C'tosar. In this ,
historical parallel Senator Gorman, of j
Maryland stood for the "lean and hungry !
Cassius," of whom Ciesar said: "He thinks |
too much; such men are dangerous;" Sen- |
ator Jones, of fArkansas, for "Honest |
Brutus;" Senator Vest, of Missouri, for i
the "envious Casca;" Senator Voorhees j
for Trebonious; and 4 'the distinguished sen
ator from Tennessee,'' Mr. Harris, for !
China. He carried out the parallel by de- I
daring that these senators made the same
plea which the conspirators of old made— i
"not that tliey loved Ciesar less, but that
they loved Rome more"—"not that they i
loved Cleveland less, but that they loved I
their party and the country more."
Mr. Hill was followed by Senator Caf- !
fer, of Louisiana, who submitted a motion j
looking to the restoration in the sugar |
schedule of a bounty for 1894. In a short !
speech (which was however not concluded) !
lie accused the democratic managers of
bad faith in striking out the sugar bounty
and declared explicitly for himself and his
colleague (Mr. Blanchard) that they would |
not vote for the tariff bill if it put sugar on
the free list.
Democratic Caucus.
A few minutes after the senate ad- j
journed the democratic senators went into '
caucus for the purpose of formulating a I
programme in regard to the disposal of the j
tariff bill For three hours the discussion
continued, and at that time, without hav- j
ing reached any conclusion, an adjourn- I
ment was taken until today at the same
hour.
Three members of the democratic party |
were conspicuous by their absence from !
ill is conference. These men were Senators j
Hill, Murphy and Irby, two of whom are I
said to be ready to vote against the bill '
in certain emergencies, undone, Mr. Hill, 1
who has time and again declared his op- '
position to the bill HO long as the income i
tax remains a part of it. Every other sen- j
ator now in the city was present, except |
Mr. Voorhees and Mr. Daniels, but their
absence was due to illness.
Hill Declined to Attend.
A Mr. Hill was not notified officially of i
the caucus until a few minutes before I
the adjournment of the senate. He was
then notified in the cloakroom by Mr.
Gorman and requested to be present. Mr.
Hill frankly told the chairman of the cau
cus that inasmuch as ho was opposed to
the bill, and would do all he could to de
feat it so long as the party saw lit to keep
the income tax in it, lie did not believe ho
(.light to participate in a conference that
iiad for its object the passage of the meas
ure and the settlement of party quar
rels.
The caucus discussion partook of the na
ture of conversation more than of speech
making, although there were some very
pertinent and emphatic observations in
dulged in.
Soon after the caucus convened Mr.
Jarvis, of North Carolina, offered a resolu
tion that the bill bo sent back to confer
ence without instructions of any sort to
the conferees, and upon that resolution
all of the discussion was based.
Insist on the Senate Hill.
The conservatives, so-called, the men
who formulated the present bill, 4i I none
of the talking, but one of the senators said
after the caucus was over that those who
did talk—and there were few who did not
-wereas zealous in their advocacy of the
HOl.ate bill as any member of the conserva
tives could be and insisted as strenuously
that the senate bill should prevail,
Almost all of the debate and cross-fire
between senators was directed at Mr.
Vilas in an effort to induce him to with
draw his motion to strike out the differen
tial on refined sugar. Mr. Vilas did not
indicate to the caucus just what ho would
do in this connection, but made a plea for
the administration, saying that in view of
the strong letter the president had written
there should bo some sort of concession on
the part of the senate and he believed the
concession should be, among other things,
on ti.otitgar schedule.
House ol' Representatives.
Tl.e committee on rules gave the day's
session to the committee on public lands
and in two und n half hours Mr. Mcltae
(dem., Ark.), chairman, succeeded in hav
ing passed fourteen bills reported from his
committee. Two of these were of particu
lar importance, one providing for a settle
ment of the claims by and aguinst the
state of Arkansas and the United States,
and the other providing for the separation
of the mineral lands in the Northern Pa
cific grant in Idaho anil Montana and
granting patents to the settlers thereon.
The bill which came over from Saturday
and Monday as unfinished business was
passed, directing the re-employ ment as
fast as vacancies occur of the railway pos
til cb rks who were discharged between
March 15 and May 1, 1889.
An hour of the session was spent in an
unavailing effort to consider the bill di
recting the payment to West Virginia of
the amount of direct tax collected from it,
irrespective of claims by the federal gov
ernment against the state.

POLITICAL PICKUPS.
Several Hazleton Republicans are in
dustriously at work grooming a dark
horse for the Republican legislative
nomination. Why any opposition to
Jeffrey should be made in that city is
not stated, but there is a quiet canvass
going on for delegates all the same.
McNelis is unconcerned as to who they
nominate, and with a united party be
hind him expects to come under the
wire several lengths ahead.
Luzerne Democrats would like to know
if there is going to be a county con
vention held this year. Perhaps the
country seat machine considers it un
necessary, and if nominations are to he
run off as they were last year a con
vention would not be reqiured.
The only contest of note among the
Democrats is between Lee Stanton, can
didate for nomination for clerk of the
courts, and P. A. O'Boyle, who would
like to be nominated for district attor
ney. Both want the other kept off the
ticket, as both are from the Pittston
section.
John H. Rice, who was chairman of
the railroaders' strike committee during
tlie late trouble with the Lehigh Valley,
will lie the Democratic nominee for the
legislature in the first district, the city of
Wilkos-Barre. Mr. ltice Ims always
been an active Democrat, and is popular
with all classes of voters.
Gurinun Has Withdrawn.
From the Wilkes-Barrc Record.
District Attorney Garman announced
on Saturday that lie had decided to
withdraw as a candidate for orphans' 1
court judge on the Democratic ticket, as
lie desired to engage in business at the
expiration of his term as district attorney.
This leaves the Democratic field open for
.Ttidge Rhone unless some other ambitious
Democrat steps into Mr. German's place.
And now the i/uestion arises, is there
nothing else behind Mr. Garman's with
drawal?
Little Willy's Epitaph.
Hines' chances must have looked de
cidedly blue on Sunday night around
the AV mdealcr office, for when the only
newspaper friend the little office seller
lias in the county drops into poetry to
bid him good-bye you can count him a
dead bird, llere is the epitaph Sam
Boyd published on Monday last:
Thou'll (to back no more Little Willy,
Every moment, every hour your chanoe
departs
You will full, alas, like the many.
That have bloomed and faded in these parts.
We shall never more behold thee.
Hear your small and piping voice again,
When election time comes, gentle Willy,
And the ballots all are cast against your name.
An Independent Candidate.
Joseph Ilendler a prominent and in
lliiential German Republican, of Wilkes
i Barre, threatens to run independent
j for congress if Morgan B. Williams is
j nominated. In such a case Williams
; would lose a large number of his party
| votes. But this is not likely to occur,
\ from all accounts, as Leisenring appears
; to be again on top in the race for the
nomination. It is conceded in Republi
i can circles that tlie nominee should be
! from the lower end, and this, with the
| prestige and popularity of tlie Upper
Lehigh candidate, makes Leisenring's
chances very good at tlie convention to
be held a week from next Tuesday.
Uniting the Two llranches.
A movement of much importance to
members of the A. O. H. societies of
this county showed its first result last
night in Ilazieton. The organization
| for ten years lias been divided all
| through tlie country, and the two
I branches were known as tlie Board of
Erin and the Board of America. In
J every town of prominence in this coun
ty there is a division of each branch,
and ellorts have been made on several
occasions to unito them. At Hazleton
last night Division 10, of the B. of K.,
took its first step in the matter by dis
banding as a division of tlie Board of
| Erin, and County President E. V. Curry,
j of tlie Board of America, immediately
reorganized it as Division !">, of tlie other
board.
| This was tlie first step toward practical
unity in this county, and was brought
about by tlie work of President James
M. Boyle, of No. 5, and President P. M.
j Sweeney, of No. 10. It is expected that
■several divisions of tlie 1!. of E. will
transfer their allegiances to tlie Ameri
can Board in Luxerne county within the
next few months. In Michigan, Wis
consin, New Jersey and Massachusetts
tlie Board of Erin members have gone
over in a body, as in Hazleton, and this
will be continued until but one A. 0. 11.
society exists in tlie country.
The order is a beneficial one, paying
sick and deatli benefits, but its principle
object is to support and protect American
institutions, to defend tlie Catholic
| Church from assaults engendered by
bigotry and prejudice, and to aid
< atliolic citizens of Irisli birth or descent
in maintaining the civil and religious
liberties which the laws grant them.
There is nothing of a political nature
about tlie order. In Freeiand there is a
division of each branch, and it is prob
able they will be united, by the plan in
augurated at Hazleton, before long.
