SENATE.
WASUINQTON , April 7. After the
transaction of unimportant businoaa the
onato ronumcd consideration of the
education bill. .
Mr. Brown ( dom. , Ga. ) spoke in ita
support in answer to the opposing ar
gument IT ado Mr. Morgan ( dom. , Ala. ) .
Mr , 'Norheoa { dom. , Ind. ) followed
Brown , strongly advocating the measure.
Ho thought < it was too late in the day to
protest against national aid to state edu
cation since not only had hundreds of
millions of acres nf lands boon given to
separate states for education , but $000-
000,600 in cash had boon expended by
the national government in the establish
ment and support of froedman's schools
and § 400,000 for the education of Indian
children.
At the conclusion of Voorhoes' re
marks , Hoar's firat amendment was then
taken up , providing that the amount to
bo distributed the first year bo § 7,000,000
the second year § 10,000,000 , third year ,
616,000,000 , and then diminish at the
rat'o of § 2,000,000 a year till the expiration
tion of the 8th year , whenjtho appropria
tion should cease. Agreed to , yeas 38 ,
nays 2.
Another amendment f Hoar's -was
agreed to , providing that an equal oppor
tunity of education bo given to all the
children of the state.
An amendment was offered by Mr.
Sherman , ( rep. O. ) , providing that the
money shall bo ujod only for common
schools , not sectarian in character.
Mr. Morgan ( dem. , 111. ) inquired if this
provision aimed at Catholics.
Mr , Sherman replied that it was not
aimed at Catholics , Methodists or Proa-
byterians especially , but it was his idea
that the public money should bo disbursed
only for non-sectarian schools. Ho believed -
lioved the intelligent Catholics of the
country wore coming to the conclusion
that many of their ideas about common
schools were erroneous.
The amendment agreed to yeas 32 ,
nays -72.
The first of the amendments heretofore
offered by Harrison was taken up. It
provides that no states shall receive any
benefits of the act until the governor ol
the state shall file with the secretary of
the interior a statement showing the at
tendance at the schools and the expendi
ture for them.
Mr. Williams ( dom. , Ala. ) opposed the
amendment.
Mr. Morgan said there was a provision
in the constitution of Alabama that pro
hibited the state from uoing the principal
of any money. It could only use the in
terest.
In reply to a suggestion from Mr.
Logan.rep. ( , III. ) regarding new issues ,
Mr. Morgan said ho didn't care for now
issues ; the old issues wore good enough
for him. Ho ( Morgan ) -was not a presi
dential candidate.
Mr. Butler ( dom. , S. 0. ) suggested that
it was not at nil impossible that the sec
retary of the interior might use this
money as a corruption fund. It had
been done .boforo and would bo dona
again , if this bill passed ; ho didn't care
if that officer was a democrat or repub
lican.
lican.Mr.
Mr. < Phimb ( rep. , Kas. ) thought the
danger greater that" the governor mighl
uao the money for political purposes on
his own account or for the benefit of his
own political party.
Mr. Harrison ( rep.Ind. . ) . remarked
that Bock had on another day , speaking
for his party , said "Wo never trust men
twice. " Harrison said "That might dc
for the party of the senator , but ho eaicJ
on this side of the chamber wo do trusl
men twice. . If wo didn't it might nol
bo possible for us to bo on friendly rela
tions with aoino senators on the other
side of the chamber. "
Mr. Morgan added ; "Nor your own
party either. "
Several senators protested against poli
tics being brought into the discussion o
this humanitarian question.
Mr. Harrison's amendment was finally
agreed to ,
The motion of Logan was agreed to ,
striking out the section whiuh permittee
states having less than 5 per cent of il
literacy to use monpj for normal schools
or industrial education.
ft3A number of amendments were offeree
by Harrison and agreed to.
The bill being completed as in com
mittee of the whole , it was reported to
the senate , road three times and passec
by the following vote :

Mr. Randall ( dom. , Pa. ) , from the com
mittee on rules , reported a resolution setting
ting apart April 8th and May 13th for the
consideration of bills reported by the
committee on territories , not to include
bills for the creation of now territories or
the admission of now states. Adopted.
Mr. Stockslntgor ( dom. , Ind. ) moved to
suspend the rules nnd adopt a resolution
to maka bills for the erection of public
buildings , a continuing special order for
April. There were fifty-four such bills
before the house , and unless this was
done , nouo of them could bo passed.
Mr. Holmandom. ( , Ind. ) opposed the
motion. Only live of the thirteen appro
priation bills were passed , not to mention
the tariff and bills to forfeit rail
road laud grants. After further dis
cussion , the motion was agreed to 1G2
to 77.
77.Mr.
Mr. Morrison ( dem. , 111. ) called atten
tion to the fact that when the tariff com
mission ended its eight months' exorcises ,
it fixed the duty on wool , as it was in the
law to-day. Its report was approved by
the gentlemen on the other side , and
their protective friends , few in number ,
on his , bjtho senate and by a confer
ence. Presently these gentlemen would
undo their work and restore the duty to
the ratoat which it stood before the passage -
ago of the tariff bill. What estimate waste
to bo made on their professions ,
ho loft to the country to
sayf.whatover might be the different views
of the question , the protective countries
and duty and wool nould bo justly and
rightly considered apart from the duty
on woolen goods , into which wool entered
as a largo part. A bill had been reported
to the house on the general subject of
the tariff , as well as on rates of wool and
woolen goods. Ho would ask the houao
on Tuesday week to take up that bill and
consider the wool question , and among
others ho would give his time to Mr.
Hurd , as this was claimed to bo a sort of
an Ohio question. [ Laughter. ]
Mr. Converse ( dom. , 0 ) moved to
suspend the rules and pass the bill re
storing the duty of 1807 on wool.
JJlr. McKinloydem. ( , O. ) approved the
measure. The last house had no oppor
tunity to vote on the wool tariff as an in
dependent proposition. He appealed to
the gentlemen on the other aide to sup
port the measure. Ho did so more bold
ly , because their brethren in Ohio
last fall promised the people they
would restore the duty on wool at
the beginning of the present session.
The democrats on every stump made that
promise. Ho hold a pamphlet issued by
authority of the democratic state com
mittee , which declared that if Hoadley
was elected governor the democrats in
the first days of the cession would wipe
out the iniquity which was inflicted by
the republican party. Ho asked the
democrats to keep their pledges.
Mr. Henley ( dom , Cal. ) supported the
motion.
Mr. Wilkins ( dom. , 0. ) said -vrasnpt
often the farmers came asking for legis
lation , and when they did , congress
should etvo them a respectful hearing.
Mr. Hurd ( dem. , O ) opposed the bill
on the ground that the restoration of the
old tariff would increase its price by in
creasing the price of foreign wool re
quired in domestic manufacture. There
were three classes interested the con
sumers nf woolen articles , the manufac
turers of woolen goods , and the wool
growers. The cinsumera under the in
creased tariff would liavo to pay more for
their goods. In this climate woolen
clothing was indispensable to all classes ,
oven to the poorest. Should the price
of this necessity of life bo increased it
would do an unforgivable wrong
to millions. Its effect on
the manufacturing interests would bo
equally bad. The woolen industry
was in a bad condition. The mills were
largely shut up entirely , or running on
short time. It would simply add to their
already heavy burdens to increase the
price of the raw material , especially of
foreign wool , of which 75,000,000 pounds
were imported in 1880. Yet the mills
were not run at more than half their
capacity. The tariff so put up prices as
to keep American manufacturers out of
the world's markets. Englimd old abroad
§ 120,000,000 worth of woolen goods.
America scarcely 8400,000 worth.
The passage of the bill would compel a
further reduction of wages. It would not
help tea wool grower , for his prosperity
depended on the prosperity of the manu
facturers. The low priceCof American
wool is largely attributable to the high
price of foreign wool. The Araericunfarm-
or only produced a medium wool and any
duty on superfine or carpet wool could
not bo of advantage to him , The man
ufacturer must have partly fine wool ,
and its high price , owing to the high tare ,
prevented him paying a good price for
medium grades.
Mr. Convcrco said the pending ques
tion waa not as to whether the laboring
people should be compelled to pay u
'
higher priaa for their clothing. Ho
would have liked if his colleague- had
shown by facts and figures that the price
of clothing was cheaper now than prior
to the posago of the tariff bill. Statis
tics did not sustain the gentleman'n
rhetoric. The question was whether this
greet industry should bo kept in ( he
hands of American citizens or ita profits
divided among foreign nations. The
wool industry was ono of the largest sin
gle indublries in the United .States , Ita
annual product was over $150,000-
000. aud it gave employment to over 200-
000 men not women and children , but
strong men. Did not the gentleman
know that American free trade waa Brit
ish protection ? That when the wool tar-
I
iff waa cut down so much money was pul
into the pockets of Britishers in Aus
tralia ? The gentleman made a mistake
about the fibre of wool. Australia pro
duced the finest , but the Unitul Sbtos
produced the most clastic fibro. If the
tariff couldbo _ tnaintainnd at what it wns
in 18G7 , this country in a few years could
maintain ill wool industry without a tar
iff. Without it , our wool would bo driven -
on from the market. Over 815,000,000
waa lost the post year owing to the reduc
tion of the duty. It did not affect the
price of clothing. The motion was lost
peas 110 ; nays 120.
On Converse's motion to suspend the
rules and pass the bill restoring tlu duty
of 1807 on wool , the following north
western representatives voted yea : An
derson , Cannon , Cullen , Ellwood , Funs-
ton , Henderson (111. ( ) . Ilnnhack , llitt ,

Messrs. Dunham , Finorty , George R.

as , McCook , Cook ( la. )
Mr. Thompson ( dem. , Ky. ) moved to
suspend the rules and adopt n resolution
declaring it unwise and inexpedient for
the present congress to abolish or reduce
the tax on spirits distilled from grain.
In u brief debate which followed ,
Messrr. York ( N C.and Cox ( dom.N.O. )
opposed the motion and advocated the
entire repeal of the internal revenue
laws.
laws.Mr.
Mr. White ( rep. , Va. ) also opposed the
motion , and favored a reduction of the
tax on distilled spirits after January 1st ,
1887 to iivo cents per gallon , and a
change of the existing law no aa to provide -
vide that the tax shall bo paid within
sixty days after the npirits have boon put
in bond.
Mr. Willis ( dom. , Ky.'and ) Mr. Kasson
( rop. , la. ) favored the motion on the
ground that the whisky industry was
liable to u curious financial disturbance as
long as the question remained in doubt.
The lust tax to bo taken off , should bo
the tax on whisk } * .
Mr. Springer ( dem. , III. , ) thought the
great macs of the people desired to have
whukuy taxed , and ho wanted congress
to give notice notice that this tax of $70 ,
000,000,000 would remain on the atatuto
book till the people could get cheaper
blankets and cheaper necessities of life.
The motion was agreed to and the reso
lution adopted yeas 17 ! ) , nays 3s.

Special Dispatch to THE BEE.
WASHINGTON , April 7. A strong effort
is being made by business organizations
of thia country to persuade congress to
pass a national bankruptcy law. The
bill now before congress for this purpose
is the result of a good deal of careful
study by men who have given the subject
a great deal of thought , and have had
long legal experience. A series of argu
ments in favor of the onacttnont of such
a la\r have been presented to the mem
bers in pamphlet form.
THE I'UBLIO BUILDING QUAD.
The house committee on public build
ings have reported bills for the erection
of from thirty to forty public buildings
in various parts of the country. There
is the usual growl from those who ask
and do not get the buildings. There are
always four or five times as many appli
cants ai can bo given buildings. Ono of
these unhappy individuals whoso bill has
not yet boon reported naid , in conversa
tion with your correipoiidcnt , that ho
had made u careful study of the houao
calendar , aud found of the thirty-one
bills reported by the committee , only two
were for republican districts. Fully

WASHINGTON , April 7. Joseph Modi 11 ,
editor of The Chicago Tribune , and pres-
idout of the Western Associated Press ,
made Hit argument today before the son-
at committed on postofliccn and post
roads , in favor of the reduction of the
present pound rate of postngo on no-vspn-
pora issued from the oflicua of publica
tion. The present law , was , ho said , the
occasion of laying the oppretsivo tax
upon publisheis. It waa enacted in
1874 nnd fixed the rate c < J
poitagd on papers issued from the
oflico of publication at two cents
nor pound , which rata it made prepaya
ble at the oflico of publication. Before
the enactment of this law the postage on
thia class of mail matter waa collected at
the postoflica delivery from the sub-
ecriber , then the news agent , or whoovei
received the papers , the tax fulling upon
the > purclmser , 0.3 it ought. Cut it wut
said iv great many papnra were not taken
out of th poatoflico , and in order to etoi ;
this loss the rovunuo law requiring pay
ment was enacted , The result has bodii
that the publishers of the United Stntci
have been compelled to pay u tax amount
ing to § 1COO,000 per annum during the
past ten years.

the package contained flowers and rose
leaves. The witness , who waa personally
acquainted with Miss Brockott , granted
the request. Miss Hill went down the
ladder into the grave and placed the
package under the coffin shell. She in
sisted on v itnoss accepting a silver dollar ,
saying t'mt if ho did not take it the
charm would not work. The witness said
ho was present when the package wan ex
humed ; it was the same that had been
put there by Miss Hill , A cross-exam
ination failed to disturb the testimony.
