Senator Allison unci his associa tes worked iiiird to got the tariff bill through tlio fViinto lust Week, fate, in tho shape of several undis posed of iiniontlments, could not lie ovcreomo and tlm bill Is still before tho Senate, niul tlio Senators net working when most other people are celebrating Indeixmdeneo Day in HolllO lllOJ-0 plctl.sallt lllililiU r. Ji Lit thoy havo tin? consolation of know ing that thoy will certainly paos the bill this wo. ik. Probably no amendment added to tho fnrifl bill by tlm Senate will give more genera! satisfaction than that whicli imposes a fax on every eerti fionte of stock and bond other than those issued by tho t-tiveniment, National, Stale or Municipal. In addition to raising revenuo to a largo amount from a class who will not find it n burden, this niuondmont if it remains in tin) bill until' it bo comes a law, ns it possibly will, will drive the places known as "bucket Khopj" out. of business, because to fail to pay the tax on each trans notion will be to ((('knowledge that they do not actually sell tho stock, but merely accept bets on whether the prico will go up or down, and to mako their proprietors ntneimblo to the laws against gambling; to pay tho tax will bankrupt them. It will probably also lessen tho business clono in tlio legitimate stock ex changes, because the tax will add to tho expense of buying and stilling Htock for speculation, but there are SI - .I.. ill iiious.iiius who win rignru it a great blessing to tho country if Htock speculation as n business was entirely broken up. It is a business that produces nothing useful and ndds nothing to tho real wealth of tho country, while it annually de moralizes and drives to tho dog . thousands of business men - who might continue to bo useful citieiis if it. wero not for stock speculating. Therowasnn unusually largo at tendance at tho meeting of the lioiiHo to-day, as all Republican ab sentees had lieen notified to bo pre sent, because of tho exjieotation that tlio tariff bill would bo sent back from tho Senate. All of tho Re. publican representatives now in Washington, will romnin in reach until tho tariff bill is disposed of. The llouso took its usual adjourn ment until Thursday, and it is hoped that the Senate will havo pnsssed tho tariff bill before that day. Tho last Democratic (Senator to find (int.that Senator Chandler is always loaded, was Vhi,to, of California. Mr. Chandler was lmiking a few re marks on tho reciprocity nmond inent to tho turill" bill, which was reported from the Finnneo Commit tee and adopted by tho Senate, when Mr. White tried to bo "funny" by asking him if he had been commis sioned by the Finance .Committee to occupy tho floor until tho next amendment was ready. Quick as a flash, Mr. Chandler responded, with an exasperating smile: "Oh no! I have been asked merely to occupy the floor to look out for anything that tho Senator from California may say worthy of notice. As nothing of tho kind has occured, 1 will continue to confine my re marks to reciprocity." Mr. Whito dropped into his seat and sought consolation by putting extra vigor in the movement of a bit; palm leaf fan, while Senator Tillman, who iiad received his dose of Chandler drops several days beforo, made no attempt to conceal a broad griu. It is learned from authoritative sources that Pres't McKinley may send a speciul message to Congress in few days, strongly recommend ing legislation for the apMintmont of a Commission to investigate and report upon the reform needed in our present currency system. If this message is sent to Congress, it will not be with the expectation that the matter will bo noted upon nt the present session, but for the purpose of getting it before the country for discussion and suggestion. It is i pretty thoroughly understood tliat no other legislation will be taken up' by Congress after tho tariff bill is disclosed of. Mr. N. U. Scott, the West Vir piniii member of the ltopublioau National Committee, says ho has in formutio u that the big strike in tho coalmines is part of A Democratic scheme to carry Ohio. He says the idea of the Democratic instigators of the strike is that it will cut off the supply of coal und result in at least a partial paralysis of tho big manufacturing industries of Ohio. Then they will charge the Kepubli ia"u party with the responsibility for Unit condition of uftuirs and will mako an attempt to hold up Senator Milium as an oppressor of Labor. Mr. Scott added that lie did not be lieve tin; scheme would suivood, and that the strikes would do the Re publicans of Ohio little, if any harm.

Jonah, not the chap the whale swallowed but the fellow who is in the deglutition business on his own account, attempts, in n recent issue of the.

Windiug up bis statistics, which are wholly without point, ho evidently forgets tho mission on which ho was launched, and says bridges proba bly cost more than they should, and accuses tlio commissioners of being influenced by wine suppers, furnished by agents, for whicli the taxpayers n re bled.

Tho newspapers, esjieoially those which think it popular to decry the game and fish associations, and give wider latitude to parties desiring to roam along strenms and fish for pleasure or profit, are quoting what is caljod a recent decision of Judge Sterrett. The opinitih is as to stock ing strenms or ponds, and what cor. stitutes a private stream or pond, ami in this the force of tlio decision lies. The question of trespass is nut mentioned, and hero is where these newspapers mislead their readers. The iish in tho stream may be public property, ami the birds in the woods may not belong to tho owner of tho land, but if ho thinks proper to prevent trespassing on his lands for the purpose of lishing or tainting ho may do so. Probably he could not recover tho x-nalty, but he could use a square toed boot or a hickory club or a good bull dog with bow legs ami a tenacity of purpose to hold on, or any sucli gentle persua sive methods as might lie most con venient and effective. We advise those who wish to tresuiss, and think the words of J udge Htcrrett will uphold them to make further investigation before entering upon bt reams owned by private associa tions or individuals.

Tiie me inin of no other word has been sooften mls.fonst rued than that of "free dom," nothini.'- has le"ii more fals-dy ap plied than what this word promi-es.

Negatively, Itdoeri not free us from (timV commands. The French revolution which has brought so much misery over France was evidently basodon n false notion of moral freedom, that liberty frees man from all obligations tow'iird (toil, that It takes uwkv all barriers I'ntler the mask of so called human brotherhood, these nio'ern preachers of liberty, to whom every well irtianized state and society is a stumbling- block, to whom the eomimindments, "thou slmlt not. kill, thou phnlt not commit adultery, thou shalt not liear false witness, thou slmlt love thy neighbor as thyself are us a thorn in their eyes, theso wolves in sheep skin cry out, away with the church, away with law, away with God, all this is a vexation to man and an infringement upon man's liberty The ltuymarket trag e ty is still fresh in our memories, the iniir-. der uf one of our most esteemed and beloved President Is the result of such an ungodly, satanie freiilom wlniuLr tho torch in out) tiniHWmd the daiirer in the other, this ht liberty without law, without (iod. "It is the liberty of the liyena and tlio tiger," and this liberty, I know is not tint lilicrty which wo desire as loyal sons mid dauicle ters of mir country. When our fathers fouirht for tho iiideik'ndenoi? of this coun try, it was with tied, with God they up held this liberty and with (iod we will continue in it. Thus wo set) that true. liberty docs not free us from the laws of (rotl, but that it can only exist w hens the laws of God are olieyod ; "freedom is not lawlessness, but perfect obi tlience to per fect, law." lint we may ask, does Chiirtiau liberty not free us inun our earthly cures and sor- ruwitf Dvk.'s it not deliver us from the pres sure which is brought to hear upon us by external ciix-uiostaiici'sy Whose heart is tu t touched, whose eye lemains dry, seeing all this misery, tho sick crying for relief, tho laljoror desiring work, the thousands yen millions who iiave to live hi greatest poverty, having not even their daily bread.

Hut letjis not cry after ti life fio from earthly cares. The buidelis, which rest ' upon us may lie made easier, may be di- I vided more justly, but will never be taken away, they may Iw given a dlllerent name but as long as tlie earth remains they will be and those who stiy that man should not work any longer, th.it obedience to the laws of human society is not necessary are false prophets Go ye, who claim to n liitliU n tho world, by your ungodly wolds, oiien to us tigaiu tlie blessed fields of the garden of Kden, take away the curse from the human race; "Cursed is (lie ground lor thy sake; In sorrow slmlt thou eat of It all tlio days of thy life; thorns alo nnd thistles shall It bring forth to tltee; and thou shalt eat the herb of tho field tu the sweat of thy ftieo shalt thou eat thy tread, till thou return unto the ground, for out of it wa.st thou taken, for dust ihou art and unto ifnst shall thou rv t'lru " And us ye baiiUh the laws of God and do away with the lawsof man, to also put death in chains, forbid pestiieiioe to enter Into tho countries and destructive storms and hail change Into showers of I blessing.

They closed their ears ai;.liii.'-t truth, with falsehood and Jie they soiled the " banner of truth." Falsehood and lie is not the way to liberty, to salvation, neither for thd individual soul nor for a whole nation. History, from Its earlio.-.L beginning tl.y.vn to the present ' day, bears witness that freedom is not obtainitl by falsehood and lie. Neither will human knowlche ami skill give us this glorious lilierty. When the X-iortl came into thisjworld, the struggle of the humai) race for freedom had boon going for over ft,o H years Tie.' t arliest records which we havo show that this word " freedom," exercised over the primitive moos the same magnetic lnllii cnoo ns ovi-r tho present generation.
