It is thought Unit two weeks more will settle tha tariff issue in the B I’nited States senate. The republic ans will push it 10 the front with considerable vigor. A Mississippi negro by the name of Sibley, while crazy drunk, took it upon himself to haye a little race war of his own. lie secured a gun and shot llve colored people, three women and two children. An in furiated mob had him treed at last ^ accounts. Business improvements continue to make themselves apparent, both in new industries and in the reduc tion of tlic number of failures. Those for last week were smaller than in any week since the early part of I Ha.';. Nearly all of the thirty live south ern men who are supporting the pro tectivc tariff bill are natives of that section of the country. This will be interesting information to some of ’ f the fr<o trade organs which have re cently been charging that the south ern votes cast for the bill were of the “carpet bag" variety. The attempt to create another sugui trust scandal in the senate has been a dismal failure. The charges that the sugar trust had controlled the framing of the senate bill are so unreasonably and plainly untrue that even democratic and populist sena tors have indicated an unwillingness M to dignify them by going into the investigation which Senator Tillman recently proposed. The equal number iu the senate for and fernlnsl the Dingley bill has resulted in that document being greatly amended in order to secure a sutlleient number of votes to pass it, ' or iu other words that it might be so constructed as to meet the approval of some of the opposing element who seek to gain a reputation of be ing “fighters from away back." It is be lieved, however, that if it can pass as now constructed it will be a great improvement over the Wilson free trade lull. Democrats who are proud of their record us members of that party and as men of integrity of purpose are probably surprised to learn that un less they are willing to force a In tent dollar upon the people of the ITvi111 £t.fkU*u n 1*44 mi lnn<rpr tn be considered us democrats.

Not only has there been gratifying progress, but the re publican senators in their caucus de termined to accept the house sugar sebedule with a slight amendment, instead of the schedule framed by the senate committee. This will not only close the mouths of those who were inclined to attac k the senate sugar schedules as favorable to the trust, but will also reduce the time that the bill is likely to occupy id the conference committee. It strengthens greatly the belief that the bill will become a law during the present month. In this connection it is interesting to inquire whether congress has really been slow in its work on the tariff bill? and this inquiry develops the remarkable fact that no president dnee Washington lias bad an op portunity to attach his signature to a turitf law within us brief a space of time after his inauguration as will William McKinley, unless some en tirely unexpected development shall interrupt the progress toward its rarly completion. There is good reason to believe that the tariff hill sill pass the senate within the pres ent month and that President Mc Kinley will have an oppoitunity to sign it within four months of the late of liia inauguration. Kven President Lincoln, who came into illicc under extraordinary conditions and circumstances, and with war in prospect, did not sign Ids first tariff act until Augusts, 1861, President William Henry Harrison called con ^ress in special session shortly after his inauguration March 4, 1H41, be Linise of the condition of finances and revenue, yet that congress did not put its tariff' bill upon the statute hooks until August 30, 18 42. President Polk, who was inaugur ated March 4, 1845, did not sign his tariff act until July 30, 1840; Pierce, who was inaugurated in 1853, signed his tariff act March 3, 1857; Grant was inaugurated March 4, 1809, and signed his first tariff act July 14, 1870, and another June fi, 1872; the Garfield administration was in augurated March 4, 1881. yet the tariff act signed by President Arthur was dated March 3, 1883; President Benjamiu Harrison was inaugurated March 4, 1889, and signed his first tariff act October 1, 1890; Grover Cleveland and his free-trade congress came into power March 4, 1893, yet the Wilson tariff, which he refused to sign, did not become a law until August 28, 1894. In nearly all of the above cases both branches of congress were iu accord with the executive politically, a single party controlling senate as well as house. When it is considered that the re publican party, which controls the house, lias now but forty-three of the eighty nine members of the sen ate, the fad that its leaders have bceu aide to make the speed which they have developed in the consider ation of this and other important legislation should satisfy the aiost exacting, if they hut take the trouble to compare present condition* and present progress with that of auy other period in the history of the country l'utdic interest tu the t'uban situa tion ha* Ihk-ii revived hv the return of Hpceini Commissioner t'alhouu Iroiu full* It i» believed that President Mehudcf sa l .secretary Sherman are now likely to have auf It. lent information within a sum parwMvciv short time lo v ii*M« them to ad iiilelttgc utty and iu s way which will hung relist sod entourage meat and substantial sol not only to A men* an uu«u« in Pub* hut tu ttsa* who are struggling in tvehall id the cans# of lihertv. There ts no douM that the president Iviogulro the gravity of the «tt tain ■« and til) give it to* • * *t artv nttoiv at on < Kepvitl* from toistacs* center* which reach members of congress here are extremely gratifying. Pun's Review, which is accepted as a re liable business barometer, not con trolled or influenced by political or other causes which would street its accuracy, presents the most satisfac tory trade statement for last week that has been made since the present business depression began. That statement was remarkable in its showing of the decided decrease in embarrassments in all branches of Hade and in reports of unusual ac tivity in all the industries in antici pation of the passage of the t ar iff bill. The failures reported in most branches of trade are less in number than at any time in the last thirty six months, while the volume of business is, in quantity, larger than in lHiiii, the year of our greatest prosperity, the slight reduction in value being due to the smaller prices jiaid for the articles of commerce handled. When it is remembered that this happens Jefore the new tariff bill gets upon the statute books, and witli tin: industries of the coun try depressed by the importation of foreign goods at the rate of over tlUO.OOO.OoO a mouth, the improve merit thus noted is very remarkable. ‘•Let me tell you, my countrymen, that resuscitation will not be pro moted hy recrimination. The dis tress of the present will not he re lieved hy a distrust of the future. A patriot makes a better eili/.en than a pessimist. And we have got to tie patient. Much us we want to move out of !.be old bouse, we cannot do it until tbe new bouse is finished. A tarifF law half made is of no practical use except to indicate that in u little while a whole taiiff law will be done, and it is making progress. It is reaching the end and when the end comes wc will have business confi dence and industrial activity. Let us keep s'eudy heads and steady hearts. The country is not going backward, but forward. American energy has not been destroyed by the storms of the past. It will yet triumph through wise and beneficent legislation.”—William McKinley, at Philadelphia June 2, is97. FREE BICYCLE*.
