OFFIt I A I, CWMV XEHSPAPIK. Hesry George Las just embarked in the saloon business at Scribner. He is not the original single tax disciple. L,ess than $10,000,000 in the river and harbor bill this year. Somebody with a few brains seems to have gotten into congress by mistake, most likely. Kx-President Harrison evidently makes a better impression upon the country speaking from a Pullman plat form than he did when speaking from a McKinley platform. Tub confederate veterans who are damning Gen. Longstreet for his ill timed attack on the memory of the late (Jen. Early, a rival soldier, probably tell the whole truth when they say th Longstreet would not have dared so to express himself while Early was alive. L.ongstreet is a very discouraging ex ample of the decline of southern chivalry. Hktweex them, the railroads and the courts have so far succeeded in making the maximum fieight law a nullity. The law was probably no good anyway, for one reason, if no other, that constitutional requirements were not complied with in its passage. Next winter it should be re-enacted, and with such care and such amend meuts that even a railroad court would not undertake to set it aside. TflE New York Times has discovered that "there is a strong impression that the silver craze is dying out." If by silver craze the Times means the de mand for bimetallism there will be a wide and general eagerness to know where the New York editor acquired his information that it is dying out. The general impression in the west is that the cause of silver was never so promising as today. Washington, I). C, March 8, 1SU4. - The spectacle of the slow-going, sedate, spectacular senate taking up and coming withui a hair's breadth of passing as important a measure as the HI ind seigniorage bill, which took the house three weeks to pass, all in one day, was an anomaly in legislation, but such was the fact yesterday. The celerity with which the bill was carried through all the stages of consideration, second and thu d reading, and up to the point of final passage, completely dumbfounded such old and wily foxes as Senators Snerman and Hoar and the democratic anti-silver contingent. The way it was done is still a wonder to these men, who were neatly led into the trap and caught napping. The bill, together with a proposed free coinage amendment by Senator Stewart, lay on the table. Early in the morning hour (which means from noon till two o'clock) Senator Harris pro poses taking the bill up as unfinished business to consume some of the time, he said, until the tariff bill could be laid before the senate, and to this there was unanimous consent the opponents of the tariff bill thinking this a good chance to further delay action on that measure. Senator Sherman opposed immediate consideration by a motion to refer it to the finance committee, and an hour's time was taken up argu ing that motion. Then a vote was taken, all but six of the anti-silverites voting against the motion, in hope that its present discussion would embarrass the tariff debate. The chairman (Sen ator Faulkner) then stated that the bill was open to amendment, and if no amendments were offered, the question would be on the third reading of the bi 1. At this stage Senator Stewart announced his conclusion not to offer his amendment. The chairman then again inquired if any amendments were to be proposed, and hearingno response (although it was quite easily guessed that Senator Hoar had an amendment prepared which he designed to offer fcr the sake of delay), he put the ques tion, "Shall the bill be read a third time now?" and it was carried, a yea-and-nay vote not being called for. This accomplished, and the bill being put beyond the amendment stage, the old Massachusetts savant wakened, arose and inquired what was next in order,and was startled when the chair- slight raise to correspond is made in nian announced "The question now is, : various forms of iron products, and COCGIII.1N NOT OlILTV shall the bill pass?"' Then the whole crowd almost went into hysterics and protested that they had had no oppor tunity whatever todiscuss the measure. A ppreciating the fact that the friends of the bill had the whip-hand of affairs, and out of sheer pity for the sleepy op position. Senator Harris allowed Sen ator Allison to move a re-cousideration of the vote on a third reading, but gave notice that after a reasonable amount of kicking had been done the motion would re laid on the table and the bill would be disposed of. The vote will be taken tomorrow. Humors have been current for a month that the president would veto the bill, but today it is confidently stated that he will 6ign it if it comes to bim. For several days the house has I een discussing the pension appropriation bill, and the republican members have exploited a vast deal of political thun der and gave vent to much pent-up abuse and vilification of the president and the democratic policy as to pen sions and pensioners. The bill pro posed an appropriation of $157,000,000 less by 1C millions than that of last J year, and they have charged that this means that new pension claims will not be allowed in the future. This bill was passed yesterday. The fact is, however, that claims are being passed upon and certificates issued daily, as of yore, to my certain knowledge. Judge Liochran, the commissioner's a veteran of the war, was a gallant member of the famous First Minnesota, who arose from the ranks to the position of lieutenant-colonel, and is strongly in favor of gi anting pensions to every deserv ing soldier. As an honest soldier he believes in making the pension roll a roll of honor as far as possible. My judgment is that the republican clamor about pensions is sheer demagogy. The tariff bill, as amended by the senate sub-committee was reported to the full committee today and a limited number of copies were printed and distributed. I had a chance to inspect it this evening. There are less changes proposed than the public generally be lieved. The chief changes are: that coal is taken from the free list and a duty of 40c. a ton imposed; iron ore is also taxed 40c. and a sugar is taxed a cent a pound. Here and there throughout the bill are slight changes up cr down, the most notable being a raise fiom 35 to 45 per cent, on collars and cuffs, presumably to suit Senator Murphy of Troy, New York. The California fruit raisers are also given a sop and the glass schedule is raised about 5 per rent over the house bill. The income tax feature is re tained in the bill. The internal revenue tax on cigars and cigarettes weighing over three lbs. per thousand is raised from .51 to $5. It is con fidently believed that in its present share it will receive the unanimous vote of the democrats and populists in the senate, and that when it passes through the conference committee stage the chief amendments will be eliminated and the bill will then pass, substantially as it passed the house. Mr. Talbott, the clerk of the house ways and means committee, a very un assuming gentleman, whom I believe knows more as to the details and in tricacies of a tariff than any other man in America, has been in almost con stant conference with the senate sub committee since they took the bill up, is iu high glee over the bill as reported. and expressed the belief that the bill would pass eTentually more to his lik ing (which is for an enlarged free list on raw materials) than in its present senatorial form. He does not fear the work of a democratic conference com mittee, and refused to accept a wager that coal and iron ore will not jet go. on the free list. He thinks they will. From a democratic standpoint the prospects of tariff legislation are bright ening, c w. s. The Tecnmseh Journal remarks: In case Hon. W. J. Brjau does not seek a renominatieu to congress from thisdis- j trict, we know of no more able or con scientious man to continue the good fight for the people than Col. J. I). Cal houn, of the Lincoln Herald. He is able, honest and not afraid to advocate the cause of the common people as against Wall street. A Cincinnati paper is authority for the statement that Senator Brice's in come is not less than $300,000 a year, and probably more. The senator's reasons for opposing the income tax thus appear to number exactly 796.000- Chicago Times. My these words, coming from thelips of twelve of his peers, know all men that Daniel Coughlin w as in no way con cerned in the murder of Patrick Cronin live years ago next May; that he has for nearly the same period been deprived of his liberty, unjustly held up to public obloquy as a murderer without csiuse, and wantonly forced to spend of his own and his friends" substance a small fortune; that the array of witnesses summoned by the state. at even greater cost, are perjurers or fools, or both; that the jury who sat in the former trial were no better, and that the state's attorney's otliee of 0k county is an enuine for persi-cuting an innocent man. These conclusions, reached in little more than three hours by this remarka ble jury, percolate but siowly through the public mind. The average citizen, who has followed the evidence almost as if he were a juryman, must have time to take in this momentous deci sion and readjust his point of view. Not at once will he accustom his mental vision to the new focus. lie has, i seems, been all at sea. The red-handed murderer is a martyr to malignity and wrongheadedness; the false detective a persecuted hero. He did not entice Dr Cronin to his death or join the orgy of assassination in the Carlson cottage Who says assassination and death? Was Dr. Cronin ever killed? Did he not,, rather, as the experts dec'ared, perish of adestroying kidney complaint and then crawl into the Lake iew manhole, pulling the cover down over hisbod? Was there ever euch a man as Dr. Cronin, anyway? And does the nicht of May 4, 1SS1, show on the cal endar? The Clan-na-Gael, camp 20, the triangle are these realities oronly the tloating phantasmagoria of adream? Where are we at? Of course Mr. Coughlin will be re stored to his place on the police force.

It is not generally known but it is a fact, nevertheless, that the legislature of Nebraska passed a law authorizing the organization of a state poultry as sociation and for maintaining which an annual appropriation of 51,000 is made. This looks a little queer when we come to consider the fact that the raisers of cattle and hogs far out-number those engaged in poultry raising, yet are not protected by any special or class-legislation. Democrats have al ways opposed class legislation and it goes without saying that the present poultry law was not enacted by them. Administrator's Appointment. State of Nebraska, J Cass County.
