A KEV WEST KICK.
Key West , Fin. , Is represented here by a
number of rustling cigar makers who want
the duty increased on manufactured cigars
nnd decreased on the raw material from
which cigars arc made. They claim that the
Importation of cigars will bo augmented un
der this bill , A tiix of $ 'i per pound is placed
on wrappers , while fillers arc taxed -ID cents.
If n package of fillers is found to contain a
single leaf of wrappers the whole Is taxed $ J
per pound , and this radical discrimination is
considered too harsh by them. Key West
employs 1,000 cigar makers. They may win
their light.
OWEN'S AMENDMENTS.
Keprcsentativo Owen of Indiana intends to
offer some vor.v important amendments to the
McKlnley tnrift bill. One of them will strike
out all ot the proposed reduction of the reve
nue tax on tobacco except the proposed
abolition of the license for retail dealers.
Another will put lumber and salt on the free
list. Still another amendment will empower
the secretary of the treasury to revoke the
tariff on any article upon which a trust or
monopoly Is formed at any time , thus
making it possible to prevent an unfair
rise in the prices of articles of every day
consumption. Mr. Owen says that this may
bo giving largo power to the secretary of the
treasury , but ho does not see how it is possi
ble to prevent monopolies and "bull" move
ments of the market unless wo place confi
dence nnd power in the hands of our ofllcials ,
ns the conditions are continually changing ,
nnd If any article should bo specified in any
rblll or any circumstance described , by which
the law would prohibit a "corner" or monopoly
ely or trust , it would bo.easy , ns expprlcnco
li-v taught , "to' 'change"tho "conditions"nnd
, ivert the operations of the law. Public sen
timent and careful scrutiny , ho says , would
always prevent the improper exercise of this
discretionary power by any officer of the gov
ernment.
rOllClETTINQ MR. 1UNIUU , . *
An incMcnt occurred in the houso4ho other
day while Chairman McKlnloy was speaking
which illustrates very clearly how soon great
men nro forgotten in congress. While ex-
Speaker Kaiitlull lived ho was regarded by
the democratic side of the house as the great
est man of the age , oven by those who were
free traders and wcro unwilling to follow his
leadership on the tariff. His wisdom on all
other subjects was never questioned , and hail
it not been for his tariff views ho would un
doubtedly have been nominated for the presi
dency by his party. DuringMiijorMcIvlnloy's
nrgument ho referred to "Samuel J. Itandall ,
the greatest man that over occupied a scat on
that side of the house , " pointing to tlio
democrats ; "n man who was ever on
his feet and ready to defend the inter-
csts of his constituency to the very last. "
XA thundering storm of applause followed this
tfticlariition by the republicans. A number of
the staunchcst republicans stood up on their
feet nnd applauded for a full half minute.
The ono hundred or more democrats who were
in their scats sat in dead silence ; not ono of
them applauded the sentiment or nodded
nsscnt. Most of them sat with blanched
faces and clenched teeth. Onlyn few months
ngo every ono .of them would have followed
the leadership of the Into ex-speaker on every
biibjcct but the tarilT , but now his name is
utmost lost to their memories , because ho was
n tariff protectionist. The incident impressed
iivery ono who witnessed it and will not soon
bo forgotten.
coxniir.93 AT A CIRCUS.
Groups 01 congressmen wno chanced to
meet nt church nnd on the streets today dis
cussed the humorous scenes which were pre
sented by them at the circus the other night.
It rained a perfect torrent , and the circus
tent was pitched upon n square of ground til-
_ mos' a half-mile north and east of the gov
ernment printing olllce , which is fully two
miles from the Centre of population. Wash
ington is proverbially a great circus town ,
mid notwithstanding the downpour of rain
nnrt the mud which was everywhere about
the circus tent , It Is estimated Unit * twenty
thousand people were present and ready to
pay not only M cents admission , but from r > 0
cents'to $ ) for reserved seats. About llvo
minutes before the tlmo when the grand cn-
trco was to bo made there were probably
thrco hundred men. women and children
Mwggling along the track just outside the
ropes from the reserved seats. At
intervals of twenty or thirty feet
the rain streamed through the canvas and
inndo puddles of mud and water which in
places collected to a depth of several inches.
' . largo crowd of tentmen undertook to clear
10 race track of humanitv , so that no ono
would bo hurt by the procession. Amongtho
btragglors were several senators and probably
n do/en congressmen , some of them uccom-
imnledbv their wives and children. Along
ubout this tlmo Senators Vest of Missouri
nnd Don Cameron of Pennsylvania appeared
on The scene. Cameron were a largtulerby
Jiat and had it pulled down nearly over his
cars , so as to dlsgulso himself as much ns
possible. Ho wore u short coat and carried
his hands away down In tlio pockets. Vest
wore n Prince Albert coat and a very broad
brimmed slouch hat , which was pulfcd over
Ills cars , and came down upon his coat collar
Senator Vest had ono bldo of his
coat pulled up and into his pocket
inserted his arm almost to the elbow. The
two men straggled along llko u couple of
'toughs , " evidently bent upon a full disguise
from their friends and determined to hnvo as
much fun us jnisslblo out of the show. Finally
they perched themselves upon a row of re
served seats and sat there during the entire
performance looking Jlko n 'couplu of "rural
guys" who generally hung around the circus
to rldo the trick mule. Tlmso of their friends
who passed by and recognized themyellcit out
familiar pet names , but the senators pro
tended not to hem ; them and let thelr.lcgs
liing over the broad benches nnd dangled
their feet down whcro the mm splashed and
the mud was swishing about.
When finally the tent men found some dif
ficulty in clearing the tracks tliev began to
use forcible means. They pushed u number
of congressmen around llVo African slaves ,
iintl actually kicked ono western representa
tive. , hcmitor ,
Kusth of Alabama hud n row
with n negro at the entrancetotho tent which
ivsulted in Having the African placed under
nnyst and the next morning fined In the
IKlico court for assault.Two congressmen
from Missouri or on adjoining state approached
preached the tent with their families nnd
wcro recognized by a citizen who kiJW the
ticket taker , nnd thinking to play n practi
cal Joke handed back to them two checks for
reserved seats In the circus nnd two checks
for scats In ono of the theatres in place of the
four coupons uixm their circus tickets. The
congressmen went into the tent , nnd upon
presenting the checks for reserved scats were
ridiculed and Jeered. They returned to the
ticket taker nnd wcro about to have him ar
rested when the citron friend put In an np-
poamnco and handed over tht-lr reserved
coupons with the remark that "everything
goes at a circus , "
POLITICS AND CENSUS APPOINTMENTS.
It appears that the recommendations of the
supervisors of the census In the various dis
tricts of the states for the appointment of
enumerators do not altogether plcaso the
politicians. The superintendent of the census
attends to the appointment of enumerators
upon the recommendations of the supervisors ,
but in very many instances the latter do not
recommend the men wanted by politicians
and congressmen , nnd SuiMirintcndcnt Porter
is having n merry tlmo with them. It Is not
often that the recommendations of the super
visors nro not regarded. A protest from n
congressman generally leads to some corre
spondence between Che ofllco hero and the
supervisor , nnd often results in another
recommendation ; but there have been many
snarls , naturally. Hereafter the recommen
dations of the supervisors will stand , ns the
time for beginning the work of taking the
census is so near Juno 1 that delays cannot
lontrer bo suffered for political reasons.
I'All.MUttS STIR UP SOVTIIE1IX CONORKSSMEN.
Distress courses through the minds of n
number of plodding southern congtcssnien
who have been simple "scat warmers" in the
house for many years nnd who have never
taken the trouble to disturb themselves for
renomlnntion nnd re-election. The Farmers'
alliance is making the trouble. The berth of
n southern congressman has always been
much more easy than that of a western or
middle states member. A southerner does
little work for his constituency in the way of
local legislation or ofllce getting. A few docu
ments , some seeds nnd a general speech , writ
ten out and published in the Congressional
Heeord for distribution through the district ,
have done the work. Now the farmers have
organized nnd propose to put candidates in
tlio field against the regular democratic nom
inees , and it looks as though about two dozen
men from the southern sections who have
done little more than vole for free trade and
draw their salaries would bo relegated.
A1IOUT AIIJOU1IXMENT.
An Impression prevails that the senate will
bo very deliberate , as it was two years ngo ,
and not consent to an adjournment under.
August , even though It has accomplished nil
it hopes to in the way of legislation before
the middle of July. Senators Teller. Allison
and other leaders say the senate will not re
main in session one day longer than is abso
lutely necessary in order to do the work be
fore it. There is certain work which the
predominant party is pledged to do nt this
session , and tills must bo done whether the
political fences of members are kept up or
not. The republicans have the legislative
branch of the government nnd presidency
and the country natu rally expects certain
legislation. It will not do to disappoint the
majority , even though the session is months
longer than it appears necessary or coiiveu- *
lent.
MISCELLANEOUS.
It is not believed that the Henderson bill
giving an increased appropriation for state
militia and broadening the scope of that arm
of the military s.ervico will bo reached at this
scsi-Ion unless those Interested in it bring
their influence to bear upon their representa
tives in the houso. Colonel Henderson says
the bill will pass if it secures consideration.

Terrible Explosion In Havana. Over
Ono Hundred Injured.
HAVANA , May 18. During n fire In a hard
ware store last night a barrel of powder ex
ploded. The whole structure was blown to
pieces and twenty-two persons were lulled.
Among the dead are four fire chiefs , the
Venezuelan consul , Senor Francisco Silva ,
who happened to bo in front of the building
at the tlmo of the explosion.
In addition to the killed over ono hundred
persons are injured.
The explosion caused the wildest excite
ment throughout the city and thousands
flocked to the scene of the disaster. The
principal authorities wcro promptly on the
ground and did everything in their power to
aid the injured. Several houses adjacent
were damaged oy the explosion.
Later Tlio number dead up to this even
ing is thirty-four. Gangs of men are at work
on the debris. Many human limbs have been
taken out. The relatives of the missing per
sons have gathered on the spot , and as the
bodies are brought out the scenes are dis
tressing. The proprietor of the wrecked
hardware store was arrested. It is feared
that there are several more victims iu the
ruins.

A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION ,
Can an Original Package bo Opened by the
Liquor Dealer ?
HAUNTED BY SINS OP THE PAST.
A Cnso In the Supreme Court tlmt Is
Viewed With Alai-ni by the Hall *
rends .Sovereign's Questions
Iowa's llnr.
DES MOINES , la. , May 18. [ Special to THE
BKIV. ] The difference of opinion ns to the
prcclso meaning of the original package de
cision still continues. But the original pack
ages themselves are coming into the state
faster than ever. A largo number of stores
have already been opened for the sale of
liquor in-tliis form , and tlio number is con
stantly increasing. Tlio usual construction
put upon tlio decision is that it permits the
sale of lliiuor by an agent of the non-resident
importer In cases or bottles of the usual slzo
employed in that traffic ; that such liquor
must bo taken away , and cannot bo opened
and drank upon the premises after the saloon
style. That Is the usual Idea. But some
lawyers are insisting that it can be opened
upon the premises by the seller nnd bo sup
plied by the glass to the purchaser , provided
that the amount that ho buys was put up In
n separate bottle , even if it did not hold more
than two ounces.
In order to know Just what the Iowa courts
understand by an original package , reference
has been made to a decision of the superior
court delivered in January ISSii , in n case in
volving tliis distinction. A subordinate court
at ICookuk had held that a dealer who Im
ported beer by the case could sell it by the
case , but if ho imported several bottles of
whisky packed In barrels , ho enuld'nt sell
the bottles separately. The Iowa supreme
court overrules the finding and says there is
no good ground for the distinction. It says
that the only question to bo considered was
ns to whether the man had a right to import
liijuors for sale and sell them. If ho had that
right it would make no difference iu what
shnpo ho imported his liquor , whether in bottles
tles packed in barrels or stacked up in the
side of a car. That would bo a matter of
convenience to bo settled by himself , says the
court.
From this It would bo inferred that in the
opinion of the Iowa supreme court.an orig
inal package was an original package in any
shape or form in which it was put up , and
that live-ounce bottles or five-gallon bottles ,
whether shipped separately or brought in
barrels or boxes , would bo regarded as
original packages subject to sale by the non
resident importer. The decision referred to
was written by Judge Ueed , now congress
man from the Council Bluffs district.
A CASK OF IMPORTANCE.
The supreme court has before it again a
case Qf great importance to the railroads. It
is what is known as the rebate case from Jas
per county. A shipper there has brought
suit against the Hock Island to recover the
difference between what ho had paid for
shipments and what other shippers favored
by rebates had paid. The suit lias nothing to
do with the present railroad law , but goes
back to the days when railroads were accus
tomed to give rebates to favored localities and
favored shippers. This suit is brought under
the common law * , in tlio absence of any spe
cial statute covering the case nt the time when
the discriminations were made. This ship
per claims that the common law forbids un
reasonable charges , and sine'o other shippers
in the same town received by means of re
bates a lower rate than ho , this is proof , ho
thinks , that the rate charged him was un
reasonable. The district court of Jasper
county gave him a verdict nnd tlio supreme
court sustained the decision at the
last preceding term. Now the railroads
ask for a rehearing nnd the case was re
opened last week. They admit the rebates ,
but they claim that the system of rebates in
those days was considered right nnd proper ,
nnd was regarded as n necessary nnd reasona
ble arrangement to stimulate business. They
also plead tlio statute of limitations. The
companies are very much concerned over this
case. If it is sustained , it means that the
gates will bo opened to u flood of suits of simi
lar character , as rebates were very common
in this state six or eight years ago. Already
suits claiming in the aggregate SiW.OOO have
been begun against the Chicago & North west
ern railroad. The superior court has taken
the case under advisement , and a decision
will probably bo rendered during the present
term. If it is the same as before , n largo
number of shippers will at once begin similar
suits to recover for what they call unreason
able charges during the old days of rebates.
SOVEREIGN'S QUESTIONS.
Labor Commissioner Rovm-nlim is mnlfnr ! n
special effort to secure statistical information
that will bo of interest to the farmers. Ho
has prepared u number of questions to bo sent
to the farmers' alliances of the stato. Among
them are the following : What should bo the
local market price of shelled corn per bushel
to net S per cent profit on the investment ,
basing the calculations on the average cost of
production , the average value of land and the
average yield per aero slnco 1SS5 ? Has the
general range of farm products sold above or
below the cost of production since 1SS5 ?
What kind of farm products have sold at a
profit since 18ST and what kind at a loss since
that tlmo ! How many out of every ten
farmers are prevented by the pressure of
their debts from holding their grain and
other products for the best market
priccsl What per cent of funnel's
have lost their farms by mortgage
foreclosure since 18SO ! What per cent of farm
laborers have been displaced by labor-saving
machinery slnco IbTOi What is tlio average
wages paid farm laborers per month during
the busy season from April 1 to November 1 (
What Is the average number of hours per
day farmers and farm laborers work during
the busy season ! What profit have farmers
received upon the labor of hired men since
ISblH Five thousand dollars loaned nt S per
cent for ten years , compounded scmi-au-
nuiilly , which is the rule of most loan and
mortgage companies , returns aprolltof $5,1150 ,
without depreciating the principal. Has a
llko sum invested in farming returned ns
much profit , as n rule , from IBM ) to ISIHH If it
has returned a greater profit , state how
much greater. If it has returned a loss profit ,
state how much less. What per cent of
farmers' children between the ages of eight
and sixteen are kept from school to do farm
labor ! What Is the average number of school
days lost per year to children kept from
school to do farm labor ! "
THE IOWA BAB.
It Is becoming inoro dlftlcult each year to bo
admitted to the Iowa bar. Applicants are
now compelled to spend two years In study
and then stand an examination before tlio
supreme court. This examination is no easy
matter and It seems to bo getting more dim-
cult every year. When the present term of
the supreme court convened there were
nearly thirty candidates for admission , in
cluding ono lady.They were given a very
rigid examination first before n committee o'f
lawyers appointed by the court , and then be
fore the supreme court Itself. The result was
that only twenty-three of them passed. The
names of the successful are us follows : Jacob

afllx them to their letters , ris If anixing stamps
was a much more important matter than pay
ing for them , There Is lie remedy for this
except tlio appointment of1 an ofllcinl llcker ,
who shall bo placed in the lobby of the house
to moisten stamps and stick them
on. In olden days' ' some mem
bers of parliament were not above
fanning themselves out byHhe hour to com

as many letters as they could. Ono member-
is said to have received JE.100'a year for an
hour or so n day , and of course every friend
of a member expected to have his letters
franked as often as ho chose to send them.
But postage was worth saving in those days.
Jeffrey may rest assured that the franking

Omaha and Sioux City collided ou the local
diamond yesterday nftcmoon In the presence
of several thousand spectators and Omaha
sustained n fearful wollopping.
The sting of defeat , however , Is not so
poignant as usual , for the game didn't count.
It was only an exhibition.
The audience did not Itnow this , though ,
and the majority of them loft the park very ,
very sore.
Mr. Inks pitched for the local team and his
work was lust Eort o' mlddlln' . Ho lost the
1,111110 lu the second Inning by his appalling
wildness. Ho gave four men bases on balls ,
forcing two of them over the pinto.
The sound tlmt emanated from the grand
stand nt tltis feat was not unlike the lugubri
ous moaning of the deep , deep sea. But dry
your tears , as the game don't count.
In conclusion , It Is offered as a hint that the
next tltno the management sends Moran out
to play right Held ho should bo given n lawn
mower and compelled to earn his salary.
Omnlm must have one more Holder or she will
continue to draw blanks all through the sea
son. With n good general utility man the
team would now bo in good average condition.

The proposition of the Union bridge company
to build a bridge for a $70KK ( ) bonus was re
jected as impracticable. The election will beheld
held at an early date , and there is no doubt
but that the bonds will carry.

11 liny I'littliijj in Crops.
HAIIIIISOX , Neb. , May IB. [ Special to Tin :
BII : : . ] The settlers of Sioux county are all
busy putting in their crops and breaking
prairie. The acreage of grain this year will
bo very largely in excess of that of 1SSU.
There has been plenty of mois lure during
the past winter and spring and J farmers ) the
are looking forward to a bountiful harvest.
SImix rountv bus missed through the cxncri-
mcntnl stage and has been proven ono of the
best small grain growing localities in the
state , and the result is that the- settlers arc
funning In dead earnest this season. Im
provements In the country nro going in
every direction. Houses and barns are being -
ing erected , wind mills are being put up and
a vast amount of sod is being broken. There
are still thousands of acres of land awaiting
settlement. There Is no railroad land in
the county , so that It Is ono of the
best "freo homo" localities In the
state. In addition to this the question of
fuel is settled bore , for wood can bo had for
the hauling , and the coal mines -Just west of
here make that article cheap. Sioux county
has over fifty miles of railroad track within
Its limits , the Fremont , Elkhorn it Missouri
Valley crossing from east to west , and the B.
& M. running diagonally across the northeast
part of thO'COiinty. Thus It will bo seen that
this locality is in excellent condition to ro-
eelvo u heavy Immigration during the next
few months.
The proposition to vote bonds fo fund the
floating debt of the county was voted on at a
special election last Tuesday and a very light
veto cast. The bonds wcro defeated by a
small majority.

eral Alliance Notes ,
SitA-r.u Cnnr.K , Neb. , May 17. To the Kill-
tor of Tim Bin : : Thorublcon Is ciossed ! the
Independent party Is about to bo formed ! and
the alliance is betrayed In the house of its
friends I Being regarded as strictly nonpartisan
tisan , both within its own ranks and without ,
the Farmers' alliance in Nebraska was doing
n noble work In teaching the farmers to stand
together In successful reslstanco to monopo
lists , trusts and various combinations of busi
ness men which sought to filch from them
the hard-earned products of their toll
and in arousing public Hcntlmcnt against
the domination of railroads and
great monicd interests in politics and in leg
islation ; its power was recognized and felt ,
and congressmen , governors and public men
were standing cap In hand seeking to know
Its pleasure ; but now this noble organization ,
through the influence of self-interested lead
ers , ambitious and tinscrnimlous men , and
well meaning but short sighted men , Is enter
ing the arena of partisan polities and. its doom
in sealed. It has reached the zenith of Its
glory and is on the downward grade to ruin.
1 fear it has gone too far to recede , even if it
would , but nothing else can save it , unless It
be that the republican party of the nation late
to bo destroyed and a great party built tip on
its ruins.
But It Is denied that the alliance Is responsi
ble for this new departure in party politics.
The denial is hypocritical and false , and
those making it know it full well. The veil
is too thin : no ono will bo deceived : they can
not evade the issue. The alliance Is respon
sible nnd will be w > held at the bar of public
opinion. 1 know whereof I speak , mid I
violate no obligation of our order in saying
that today this new party movement Is being
urged and discussed in every subordinate
alliance In the stato. They violate our writ
ten and unwritten law who force these parti
san discussions upon us. I' am not bound to
submit , and I hero avail myself of the only
means at my command of entering a most
emphatic protest.
President Powers of the state alliance says
ho did not know of the call for a people's In
dependent convention and was not consulted
In regard to it , though ho readily signed It
and advises "all true alliance men" to sup
port the movement. I do not question Mr.
Powers' statement of facts. 1 think no one ,
however , would accuse Mr. Powers of being
the responsible head of the alliance in this
state , and It is therefore not surprising that
he was not consulted In the matter- The alli
ance Is not responsible for the now paity
movement. Oh , no ! And yet the president
of the state alliance in this very declaration
of his makes fealty to the embryo paity a
test of loyalty to the alliance. Well then
I nin not u "true alliance man , " for
I not only will not support this movement ,
but , considering its inception , I repudiate and
denounce it. And I say to President Powers
nnd to all others that at this stage of the
game I will not Join with democrats , prohibi
tionists and political nondescripts of all sorts
to down the republican party , and no true
republican , bo he member of the alliance or
not , will do It. Since this issue is forced upon
us , I say to my republican brethren of the
alliance , let us' wait and see what our own
party will do , and then If , in defiance of pub
lic sentiment , they'put before us as candi
dates corporation tools and minions of the
1110110 } ' power there will bo tlmo enough yet
for us to decide wliut wo will do. Give iho
Old Man a chance.
But it will bo said : Has not the republican
party had a ehaneoi And has it not for many
long vears been dominated by the railroads }
Admitted ; and yet it is true tlmt our party Is
what wo ourselves have made it , either by
our own action or default of action , more
particularly the latter. Farmers , us a rule ,
do not attend the primaries , so that party
tricksters generally get away with the bag
gage , and , when they have bagged the game ,
wo stand oft and howl. If wo have not done
our duty in our old party , it is not likely wo
should do it in a now one. To
illustrate : I do not bellovo the farm
ers of the Third congressional district
want Mr. Dorsey ro-elcct''d this fall. How
may they best prevent it ! By the formation
of irnow party ? By no means , but by turn
ing out to the primaries , each for himself , ami
by n resort to parliamentary tactics and well-
known political methods mnko their power
felt , and after this session of congress Mr.
Dorsoy would then bo able to devote his
entire time to loaning money to his farmer
constituents nt 2 per cent a month.
Who are this self-constituted "People's
committee , " and by what authority do they
assume to Issue n "declaration of
principles , " on which the now |
party Is to stand ! Mr. Burrows
says it is immaterial that wo should know
who they are , I say that R , is quite material.
Will Mr. Burrows undertake to say that ho
does not know ? or that the Initials of the
name of the divinity that inspired their ac
tion nro not "J. B. f" Will ho deny that this
"declaration" was prepared and printed In
the olllco of the Alliance at Lincoln and sent
to all the subordinate alliances In the stutp
through the regular channels of communica
tion I
Mr. Burrows has a great' deal to say about
honesty and purity in politics.Ho Is opposed
to bossism and all that , and yet , if not di
rectly responsible for it ho upholds and de
fends worse bossism and despotic usurpation
of authority than I over saw In the republi
can party. Why did not thcso mysterious
these pure nnd patriotic gentlemen who dare
not show their faces to the worldllrst take
measures to get "the people" togntlier and
then let them mnko their own declaration of
principles ? The reason Is patent to all.
In politics I never yet bowed In submission
to any boss ; but If l must needs have u boas ,
I prefer that hoio a republican.
