Plattsmouth soil let him disabuse his

street between Main and Pearl around
the canning factory. We hope to see

Is it possible that the great moral
pyty made a mistake yesterday in the
selection of Mr. Bryan for congress?
Here's what one of their number said
about it: "It is necessary to nominate a
Douglas county man if they would pull
rotes away from Mr. Connell." And
continuing, the gentleman W. R. Vaughn,

tion of Mr. Bryan would be a mistake.
But Mr. Bryan was nominated.

the residence of Hon. Joseph Gilmore
yesterday, for a picnic and a general

May Eikenbary, Ella Eikenbary, Minnie
Sjgler, May Vallery, Laura Gault, Ethel
Alexander, Bessie Gnyger, Maggie Davis,
Alice Murry, Sue Mathews and Lillie
Mathews. Their conveyance, we don't
like to mention, but the vehicle was the
big red wagon of one of our popular
liverymen, and the driver well, when
he is out on a tour like that, he is one
among the youngest of our young men,
jfcieme mmseit. Alter tnese young
people tired of the various kinds of
amusements, Mr. Gilmore suggested to
the young ladies that they could jary
the exercises by proceeding to the pump
reservoir, which was well filled with
water, to which was attached a hose, and
when Mr. Parmele came up to join tnem,
they should turn the hose on him and
give him a complete ducking. But
Elemo was not asleep, so he caught on
to the scheme, and also caught the ears
of the young ladies, and succeeded in
persuading them that it was Uncle Joe
who needed the bath, and consequently
they turned the hose on him, and it was
only by the most heroic efforts of Mr.
Parmele that they could be induced to
desist after nearly drowning their victim.
When Uncle Joe comes to knowElemeas
well as the writer does, he will quit try
ing to practice any pranks on him, for
he never comes out Becond best. After
all, these young people report a most
enjoyable dey out. 1

THE ST. PAUL CEN8C8.
Te Foundation for the General Charge
of Fraudulent Ilrports.
Warttinoton, Aug. 2. The members
of the St. Paul delegation made good
rfogr'' in the investigation of the cen
sus matter. They claim that the only
foundation for any general charge of
fraud in St. Paul rested on the ntlas

cuecK up ti:e Kci.eduies. tins hums was
fii.pj) vc'l Ix-re to show all the buildings
in I-'i'ul. and when the schedules lo
cated f uilii s at numbers where no
l:(,u-f wre shown on tho map, it was
at once concluded tho enumeration was
fr:n Lik'Ut. But the committee has al-n-ady
gone far enough to thoroughly
discredit the; map. a??d this does away
with all cha !." of general or permeat
ing fraud -. if I'r-mds or irregularities
aro loun t in (:..? tion.il districts the
f-id will frankly acknowledged, say
the committee, and a recount of those
districts cheerfully aquiesced in. But
thev Indiovo that in l'Ji cut of the I'M
districts of the ci'.y, the count is above
suspicion, and that this showing affords
no reason for a general recount, with
its attached slignia of premeditated
fraud. Tho connuittee will present
their case to Secretary Noble in a few"
days and feel confident that the facts
shown will warrant a radical modifica
tion of his previous action.

idi:,:y.-'z. vovf.l with the Democrat.;
-Je.'i'.tor Plumb did not vote.
Tho nest question was on paragraph
100, relating to china, porcelain and
crockery ware, the finance committee
recommending a reduction of the rates
in tha house bill from 6i to 5 per cent,
on the decorated articles and from ."') to
",) on plain white and undecorated ware,
t wo members of the finance committee
Messrs. Sherman and Hiscock ex-;:-ls
:;-d their opposition to the senate
u.t -admenis.
Mr. Batler moved to amend the para
graph by a change of classification and
oy v. reduction of rates.
Senator Allison supported the com
mittee amendments. It was true, as
stated by Senator Sherman, that the
c rockery industry in the United States
had had in a few years a most remark
able development. It had somewhat
changed its locality, its center ?now
being in the state of Ohio. He was will
ing to allow reasonable and fair protec
tion to the people engaged in that in
dustry, as in all other induntries, but
the finance committee believed, and he
bilived, that the effect of the adminis
trative bill and of a provision not to al
low for breakages, had been to increase
the duty beyond the 5 per cant, reduc
tion proposed.
Senator Vest moved to make the rates
4-3 and 40 per cent, respectively and
spoke in support of that motion.
Senator McPhersou said he was will
ing to vote for 50 and 45 per cent, re
spectively,
Mr. Vance made a speech in which be
declared that the whole earthenware
section was a disgnico to jople who
claimed to be tinctured with a sn.se of
humanity. It made a discrimination
in favor of the rich and against tha
poor.
Senator Plumb made a bitter attack
on the senate bill, particularly on the
schedule under discussion. The whole
tendency of civilization, he said, was to
ward a reduction of prices of all prod
uct of human labor. To claim that
tho tariff had been the sole or the main
factor in the reduction of priced or man
ufactured goods was to ignore the forces
of civilization. But as fast as the point
was reached where lower prices might
be expected, the manufacturers came to
congress demanding more duties where
by the prices might be stopped. The
tax on china wa3 per capita tax, because
china was used oh tbe tables of the rich
ar.d poor alike. He said he spoke as he
did, not with any hope of infinencing the
fate of the bill, because is passage was
i foregone conclusion. The cohorts of
protection were organized and intended
w "bolt" the bill through tin s-jnate as
it had l.-e3ii bolted through the iiou?o.
The manufacturers, he said, ha 1 always
had what they wanted. Tney hd the
present law passed by a Republican
congress on the report of a Republican
tariff commission designed to be help
ful to them, and now they are not sat
isfied, but were asking that another
bill for their benefit be put through.
He charged that the pottery men of
Ohio had entered into an agreement
with the importers by which they were
to divide the market. When struc
tural beams were needed for the state
bouse at Ttpeka, and for the
Texag state Louse, the American
manufacturers refused to supply them
at a fair rate, and the contractor had to
import them, paying a duty of 103 per
cent. He thought the senate owed
something to the American people as
well as to the manufacturers. The
Democrats should have their full share
of tJie responsibility, he said, because in
the house, instead of trying to correct
the iniquities of the McKinley bill7 they
had sought to evade the responsibility
of their votes. It was a continual fight
for political and. personal advantage,
and between the two the loyal Ameri
can people were being crushed and
ground.
Mr. Sherman replied to Mr. Plumb.
He spoke of the development of the
crockery industry, and said that it
should be accorded every reasonable de
mand. Strange to say, the price of
china ware is less than the duty paid ten
yeara ago.
The bill went over without a vote,
Mr. Vest having modified his amend
ment so as to make it provide for a rate
of 60 per cent, on decorated and 40 per
cent, on plain china.
The senate adopted a resolution of
Mr. Sawyer, calling on the attorney
general for information about the
awards mad under the Fox and Wis
consin river improvement act. The sen
ate then, at 6 p. m., adjourned.
House.
The house continued consideration of
the snndry civil bill. The previous
question was ordered on the Maryland
Point light house amendment yead,
103; nays, 64. On non-concurring in
the senate amejidment. no quorum
oiea. a motion to aajourn was maae
and voted down, and a call of the house
was ordered. This disclosed no quorum
and further proceedings under the call
were dispensed with. The remainder of
the afternoon was consumed in a vain
attempt to secure the presence of a
quorum, but without disposing of the
bill the house at 5:30 took a resess un
til 8 o'clock, the evening session to be
for the consideration of private pension
business.
