The measure hurt tlio hciuty cmloisciiicnt of both Ne braska's senator * , the unanimous approval of the commltteu on public buildings and grounds , nnd theio was nothing to impede its onward progress to the housu of representa tives. It is very raru that such peed tlmo Is mudo by u bill In congress as this one has made. It was but a few weeks ago that it was Introduced by Mr. Muudcrson. Ho fol lowed It to thu commltteu with statistics and endorsements from not only the people at Om.iha but thu treasury department , uml ho fultly pushed It. Yesterday only w.is thu biy repotted to the senate , and now to day It is taken up and passed. Too much credit cannot bo given Senator Manderson for the work ho has done In this matter. Ho has stood by it like thu cai nest , faithful servant ho is , and now it has pa sed from his legis lative domain ho does not intend to relax his cffoits He will do all ho can in the house , but there Alcssifl.

Democratic members of the housu commit tee on wajs und means say that tlio tariff bill will not bu pi escntcd to the full commit tee under two wicks. It is to bo acted upon by and reported fiom the full committee bc- foio it appears in thu house , which obviates the necessity of delay in lofetencc , etc. Thetc is to bu no delay after the bill ispio- "onled to the lommitteo before it is repoited to the houso. A majouty re port will bo picpared and it will bo brief and the minoiity will not bu waited upon for thu purpose of propai.i- tion of a icpoit or ptoposing amendments. It may bo that the bill will bo ready to piesent to the committee at the meeting on the llth of Fcbrmuv. A diaft of the bill has been in the hands of Chilli man Mills for neaily two months and the majoiity of thu committee have been running over it at meetings tv\o or tineu times u week ever since thu holidujs. At the conclusion of each meeting it looks to tlio members ptecnt an though they arc farther uwuy from a definite understanding than before. Hut an ugl cement has been icachcd by which the mcasuie shall bo given the finishing strokes and made icady for sun- mission to the full committee within fifteen dajs Tlio duty on cotton , silk , books and tobacco vv ill not be affected. The reduction on sugar will bu from 'M to 'M per cent , and such raw malcrlals as lumbci , suit , lion , ( fl ) > - per , wool , etc. , are to go on the fiee list. The wool und woolen schedule bus been passed over steadily , but it is undci stood that wool shall mo made fiec , und the duty on inniiu- fueturcd woolen goods reduced fiom 'JO to 4C per cent In propoi tion to the quality and that the most common grades shall go free , The question of free wool has been the cause ol moio delay than nnvlhing clso that has come upon thu compilation of the bill. What shall bu done in thu way of reducing or abolishing the internal icvcnuo tax has also not beeii definitely determined und will not be. Hoc- ommundulions have been icceived fiom the secretary of the ticasuty and the commis sioner of inteimil levcnue , although the lat ter is known to bo opposed to any ultciation whatever. It has bcc'i piactleully a iced , however , that the internal tax on all kinds of tobacco , m cveiy condi tion , shall bu abolished except on manufuctuicd cigais und cigaicttes which is to bu retained at thu solicitation of the mechanics chanics and laboreis Intel ested In then munufactuic. The tux on fruit binndy ic also lo bu abolished. lion , si eel and a mini her of m licles aio being shifted around al cveiy meeting of the democratic mcmbois ol thu committee and not hufoic some time next week will it bu Known what general fcatuic" thu bill will contain. The idea Is to placu be fete thu housu a bill w hick will have the united support of the demociats and as imuii of Ihu lepublicuns us possible , and Ihen conn out of tliu senate committee on finance and pass tlio senate with as few changes as possible. This will give thu dcm ociatic house ttio creditor having broughl about the luvislon of thu tariff.

TAKEN FROM SPENCER AND MILL. The Shrewd Cardinal Explains the Objections ton Formal Condem nation of tbo Land Theory Americans Complimented. A KnnioiiH Ijcttcr. ICpyrlo/it / 1SSS tin Jmnr ( tuition Btnntlt , ] KOMI : , Jan. HI. [ New York Hoi aid Cable Special to the Hrp . ] I liuvc obtained the original text of Cardinal Gibbons' letter lo Cardinal Simconl about the works of Henry uEcorgc which has been kept secret , although 'aibled , incorrect , statements about It lluvo jcen published. Th6 letter begins thus : Your Imminence I linv o nlrendy hud. the lionor of pi cscnting mi views on tlio social luestions wlilch agllale Amci icn and especi ally in relation to the Knights of Labor , but lately another form of social discussion lias developed attaching to the doctrines of lleury George , an American nuthor idcntl- lied with the working classes. Since my ar rival at Homo I have heard discussed tlio question whether these vv oiks should find n [ ilace In the index. After meditation upon thn subject 1 think it my duty to submit to jour eminence the reasons which dcmon- slrale to mo why a fotmul condemnation of Henry George's works would bo inopportune : iud useless. Cardinal Gibbons then proceeds to say that Air. George is not the originator of his theory concerning tliu ownership and contiol of real property. He charges that in ' 'Progress and Povcrtj" Air. Gcorgo cites "piecisemont" the teachings of Herbcit Spencer and John Stuart AII11. The cardinal also qnotcs from an article in the Contemporary Hovievv ol November 18bC , n charge that Air. Geoige "in only n plucimist from those celebrated authois" "And it seems to me , " conlinueh tlio cardinal , "that the world would adjudge it a little singular if lo saint siege should at tack the woiks of a humble American work man instead of his masters. " Tlio cardinal adds with some naivete , "and if any one thinks it the duly du saint siege to pronounce judgment upon Alessieures Spencer uud Alill it might be prudent , befoi o such adjudication , to take the opinions of Cardinals Alunning nnd Newman as to the policy of sucli action. " Next , reference is made to the dlfTeientialions between Hoccanellu's ' work or communion published by the piopogundii piessinlbW und George's writing. "Ami ono who reads tlio latter observes Unit the uutlior docs not teach nor wisli to leach ar abolition oT all private pioperty nnd plncinf. it under stale care. Mr. George , on Iho con ti ary maintains that individual pioperty i' absolute overall the fruits of a man's cneigy and industry. It is only as to the possession of land Hint ho wishes to limit individual property by un extension of Ibo suprcmun domlnum of government. One can per ceive , thcrofoie , that practically thocontro vcrsy presents itself , to Iho American public as a simple question touching the power of government over in dividual ownership of land. Regarding Ih is power I wish to hero nole that whocvei has studied the relation of the stale to tlu ownership of land as the subject is treated by Stcccauella and other Catholic wiilers 01 as it is regarded by the laws of taxation ami the suppoitof the poor in many countiics und especially in England , cannot fail tc compieliend that this is a question trcs com- plo\o nnd ijoverned by differing circum stances of time and place , and not lit to be resolved by a precmploiy sentence. The wholu question is before the American pub lie as a political problem and in an arena s < practical will soon find solution. Air. Georg < himself iccognizes how only legislative power can accomplish his disposition of thesi nffairs. It seems certain that never will congress nor a legislature bo fount which would vote so piofound a change , it 'social iclalions , ni un picsidcnt quo 1'approv erait , in a country like the United State1 which is not for doctrinists und visionisti nor speculntionisls. The Ihcory cannot bu conic dangerous nor long survive after an ; piactic.il application of it has been rejected Ifletalono it would in all ceitainly die ilself. Cci lain recent cvcnls , in the Unitci Slates , have occasioned popular ex citcmcnt , very profound , which ha : an liitimato connection with this vcr ; question. It appeared evident , then even if it were advisable to condemn thi doctrines ; tlio present time could not bo prop erly chosen for that purpose. I feel certain how over , that a condemnation of the work of Air. Gcorgo might give them popula impoituncu and urouso a cutiosily thu would sell them par dcs million des copic and immensely spiead the influences whicl the condemnation sought to icstram. Th American people , I repeat , aio so practica Ihat all bl ai 10 ideas und impractical subsll tulions mo so soon found out that it appear to mo Unit pi udenco should suggest that w let absurdities die a natuial death and Ihu wo should not incur the risk of giving totlics life , impoitunco and nn artificial foico pa I'cnteivenlion dcsim buicauv dolegliso.

It is but a few j ear ago that society was staitlcd and , to tell th tiuth , lalher shocked , ut hearing that Mac Cullom More had put his sons In business Then the joung men , v\ho weio something i the city , ciopped up in thu best London draw ing rooms , und by degrees , the pcoplu bega : lo learn that after all a man might b in business und tbo gentleman at the sam time , and London society no longer trouble1 ! itself with what a man was doing so long n ho could behave hlinsetf decently. It was rather bitter pill /or London society t swallow when it first admitted whole sal tiadcis within its sncrrd poitals. How won deifully its views havobioadencd is shown b the way In which men und women in the vcr best society uro now engaged In icluil bhoi keeping uml ui u not In tlio least ashamed t own up to It. Lady Granvlllo Gordon set th ball roiling when her father , Henry 'Hoc , th Dublin distiller , failed In business. Lad Giauvlllo's success induced many sociut people of both sexes to follow the oxampli Customers di' covered that what used to I called "quality" have some taste and ai pleasant to deal with.

At the same time there is nothing of the strong-minded woman about tier. Her manners have that charming case about hem which denotes the true gentlewoman. The shop In Sloano street is handsomely .vet luictly furnished. Mine. Do Courcey docs lot attend upon tier customers except they jo Intimate friends , but looks nfter tlio busi- less part of the establishment In n room up stairs. " "Yes , " said the lady , in answer to u quciy mt by your coirespondent , "tho eioftcrs me it the bottom of It. We can't gut iinv thing Iko our original rents from our tenants n Kosstiitc.

I ulso make tea gow ns am tea jackets. The tea gown is a thoroughly English invention , but'has been much takci up by rieiieh women. They are now * bcitif made in such magnificent brocades that ladle1 aic vvcnrinir them for informal dinner partiei and the original idea of tlio gow n is compar ativcly lost sight of. " "What was the original Idea ! " "The tea gown was invented for countrj house use. When the ladies returned fron shooting 01 hunting they would go to tliei looms and diess for dinner with the exccp tion of putting on the dccolletto dress am wear llicso gowns for 5 o'clock tea , vvlicr men would only put their smoking jacket on. It saved tlio trouble of another dressing These tea Jackets aio a sort of feminin smoking jacket and aie very much hi vogui now. To tell you the trutli their grcutcs use seems to bo to brighten up a shabb , gown when you arc dining with your bus band ulono. " "Do you design your bonnets , etc ! " "No , I have u very clover French millinc who does that. Here is n now design of hoi which wo havocallcd the 'Nautilus' because i is so like the shell , und Aline.
