The honest money wing of the democratic
party held Itr county convention yesterday
for the purpose of naming delegates to the
Dea Molnes convention that will place In
nomination for governor of Iowa an honest
moneiy democrat. Like the convention held
last summer It was not eiultei as numerously
attended as waa tiie fusion convention , but
It represented the wealth and brains ot the
local democracy. The convention weis
epiietly called and quietly assembled. Lu
cius Wells was made chairman. In stating
the purposes for which the convention was
called ho took occasion to refer to the neces
sity for honesty In politics as well us In
buslnros. Politics and political parties , he
declared , are the creators of all forms of
government , and honest politics will make
honest governments under the protection
of which all men can live- and conduct all
kinds of honest buslners. Dibhonest finan
cial policies advocated by political parties
ccnstltuted the woree and most dangerous
kind of dishonest politics , and ho declared
that the better eh incut , or rather the best
clement , of the democratic party all over
the country was denouncing the dishonesty
ot the party politicians who wera struggling
to bring about an era of depreciated and
dishonest money in the vague hope that In
the wreck and ruin that would surely fol
low they might acejuli-o some personal ad
vantage. Ho did not doubt but t&at the
people of low.i would again rebuke this dis
honest class of pedltlclans and their danger
ous politics even more uternly than they
did at the election lust fall. Ho predicted
the overwhelming defeat of White.
The delegates are : Lucius Wells , W. II.
M. Pnsey , Frank P. Dradlcy , Kniinc-tt Tin-
ley , 1. F. Hendrlcks , J. C. I ingo , Thomas

not for Immedlato action , he said , "but In
order that they might be speedily printed.
The first amendment provided a bounty of
one-quarter of a cent per pound on beet
sugar made from beets grown In the United
States from July , 189S , to July , IftOS.
Mr. Jones of Arkansas expressed surprise
that on the day which was hoped to be the
lent of the tariff debate the committee should
bring In this far-reaching amendment , em
bodying one of the moat radical departures
made in a century. Such experiments as
had been nude In the line of bounty legisla
tion had proved disastrous , he said ,
Mr. Allison explained that the amend
ment was a precise reproduction of the
bounty clause of the law of 1S90 , except that
It was confined to beet sugars and the rate
was limited to one-fourth ot a cent a pound.
"Of course there Is no use talking about
hurrying this proposition now , " said Mr.
Jones. "There must bo time to look Into
"Certainly. " responded Mr. Allison. "There
is no purpose to hurry It. " Mr. Allison
further explained that the purposeof the
amendment and the only purpose was to
Increase , the production of sugar beets and
the making of sugar therefrom , as these
beets could be grown as well In this coun
try as abroad.
Mr. Allen of Nebraska proposed an
amendment specifically ttatlng that the
bounty Is "to encourage the cultivation of
sugar beets , "
Mr. Jones forced the withdrawal of the
sugar bounty amendment. After the flint
reading of the bill had been completed Mr.
Jones announced that in view of the new
amendment on sugar bounties , the senate
would bo In session a "good long time. " It
could not be passed without the fullest dis
cussion. The clog days were here and the
weather was Intensely hot. Therefore , Mr.
Jones proceeded decisively , lie thought it
well to give up the early dally meetings of
the cession , resuminc ; thrt 12 o'clock session ,
and he thought It desirable that the senate
now adjourn.
Mr. Allison responded that he thought the
bill was to be passed today.
In surprised tones Mr. Jones answered
that such an idea was preposterous. With
tills bounty question brought In could it ue
possible to expect the linkage of Ui'e bill
this week , or next week , or the week after
next ? Ho was absolutely astounded , he
said , to have this proposition brought In at
the last moment. Ho again expressed hope
that 12 o'clock sessions and an adjournment
for today would be agreed to. .
WlTHUriAWS THIS AMKNDME.NT.
Mr. Thnrston of Nebraska , who had been
conferring with Mr. Allison , took the floor
Ho spoke of the part he had taken In urg
ing this beet sugar bounty , and his earnest
wish that It bo Incoiporated in the bill.
"Hut 1 recognize , " lie continued , "that the
people of this country are demanding the
immediate passage of this tariff bill. They
are Impatient that the rales of duties shall
ho so permanently established that the cal
culations of business can be made. As one
of the prime movers of this preposition I
reluctantly In the discharge ot what I he-
llevo to be patriotic duty I reluctantly
yield to the threat of the other side of this
chamber to prolong tills debate Indefinitely
and that the wheels of industry may begin
to revolve , that the smoke of chimneys may
arise , that the spindles may begin to sing ,
I withdraw this amendment. "
Mr. Allen of Nebraska , the colleague of
Mr. Thurslon , took the lloor and said he had
not been present when the threats of filibuG-
terliiK had been made.
"There were no threats of filibustering , "
Interjected Mr. Pcttus of Alabama.
If theio had been such threats , proceeded
Mr. Allen , he thought he might take-a ham !
for a few weeks or a few months. Ho ear
nestly supported the bounty and said lie re
garded it as cowerdly to abandon It.
"If my colleague withdraws It , then I will
renew it , " concluded Mr. Allen.
Mr. Allison' ' said that In view of what had
occurred ho concurred In what the Nebraska
hcnator ( Thutston ) had said , that it was not
best to Introduce any question which might
prolong the debate. lie asked leave , there
fore , to withdraw the bounty amendment.
Mr. Allen again proposed the same amend
ment.
Mr. Jones moved to table Mr , Allen's mo
tion. This had the effect of cutting off de
bate and as Mr. Allen showed evidence of dis
pleasure Mr. jo lies wl'hdrew ' Ills motion to
table. Mr. Kyle of South Dakota spoke in
favor of the bounty , after which the subject
went over temporarily.
With Mr. Allen's motion renewing the
beet sugar amendment pending , an amend
ment was unanimously adopted on motion
of Mr. Mills of Texas taxing playing cards
20 cents per pack.
Mr. MtuJfay's amendment to the reci
procity clause asking the president to Inquire
quire- Into the exclusion of American to-
unrco from Franco and Spain was agreed
to.
to.Mr.
Mr. Whlto moved a new paragraph placing
a duty on Incandescent electric lamps nt ST ,
per cent ad valorem ; agreed to.
It being 4:30 : p. m. , Mr. Jones urged Mr.
Allison to consent to an adjournment.
Mr. Alllton responded that he would
IlliP to sccuro nn agm-ment on the time
for a final vote on thu bill , fay Monday or
Tuesday.
"With the bounty1 amendment pending , "
niibweicd Mr. JOIIOH , decisively , "no time

"I hope that , the , .amendment will not ho
held up as a bo le man , " sal-J .Mr. Allen.
"It will take , u wt k to consider thin
and other amendments. "
Mr. Allison specified Tuesday RR the day
for a vote.
Mr. Jones shook his Ii3--.il nnd said that
while ( hero was ' no purpose lo delay the
bill , yet the Important prn.llng amend

There was a , < hpriis cf protests and Mr.

WASHINGTON. July 3. ( Special. ) The
passing of a tariff measure through congress
Is cue thing ; Its technical construction In
decidedly a "horse of another color. " Within
the next two we-eks It eiemj safe to predict
that the Dlngley bill will become a law
And It Is safe to further piedlct that when
the Dlngley bill becomes a law It will be In
more senses than one the house bill rather
than the coat of many colors which now
stems fittest that the senate bill should be
ealltd. 'there have been many changes from
Hpeeillcs to ad vnloremn and compensatory
duties have been insisted upon In a multi
tude of cases , for no other reason than that
the senate must have something to trade
upon with the house conferees. The re
publicans , except where It was essentially
neccfsary , have refrained from making any
lengthy speeches , and have contented them
selves with explanatory remarks on the
varlot's ' changes made In the senate hill.
The democrats and populists , on the other
hand , have persistently Insisted upon going
before the country with their Ideas of what
Is right and just In a rcvonur-r.uslng mcna-
uie. and \\hlle they have not seriously ob
structed the passage of the bill , the Ameri
can people would have no doubt been bettor
satisfied had they allowed the vote upon the
measure to be taken weeks ago. Old rm-
ployes ot the senate who have watched the
evolution of tariff bills these many years ,
cay that In all their experience they have
never seen iso dignified a consideration given
a me.isuro designed to raise revenue ? . Kow
hard words have been exchanged ; mild
sarcasm has been Riihstltutcd for vituperation
and sc-athlng denunciation of the measure has
given way to calm and dispassionate criti
cism of the Dill from its antagonists.
LHATlinil SI10K STU1NG INDUSTRY.
On the question of tariff making , Mr.
Tawney of Minnesota told The lice repre
sentative some very Interesting things. He-
Hays wo use In this country 400,000 gross
pairs of leather shoe strings and that whllo
we export In largo iniantitUa American
manufactured shoes , wo Import nearly 400-
000 gross pairs of leather shoe strings , leav
ing to tile manufacturers of the United
States some tiO.OQO gross palra of shoe
strings. He nays It has been the hardest
matter to get any of the members of the com.
mlttee Interested In what he bclleveii would
prove a great Industry , namely , the maim
facture of shoe strings , and told u pathetic
story of how In Ib'J,1 ! one manufactuter In
New Jersey employed fiOO men In the making
of shoo strings alone , while In. 18117 lie only
employed 100 men , due to the fact that
strings were put on the free list in the
Wilson bill. Th'n Industry , however , Is
taken care of in the Dingley bill. So , too ,
upon the manufacture of peat mcea. a prod
uct f'liind in Wisconsin and Michigan , and
used for bedding. There are two or three
Chicago firms engaged In the manufacture-
of bedding out of this peat moes , while
Canada is allowed under lite Wilson bill to
send into thl country peat moss In large
quantities , thereby depriving the farmers
of selling their straw for bedding purposes.
This article in taken care of In the Dlngley
bill. Ami so example after example might
go on to show how the Infant Industries , If
wisely divei-flfied , mean the employment of
hundred ! ) cf thousands of men who are now
working not at all , or upon half pay. Mr.
Tawnty is of the opinion that to the small
factories that employ from twenty-live to
100 men the economist must look for ad
vancement along commercial lines.
Judge Samuel Maxwell of the Fremont dis
trict Is an indefatigable worker. He Is
either uddrrisliiK envelopes and sending OIK
government documents to his constituents
while on the door of the house , or else ? he
la engaged In drafting bills to correct the
laws of the United Slates as to plcadlngu
and practicer In equity cases. The judge
lias introduced a bill placing postollices at
the disposal of the people by vote Instead
of by appointment as now , the ofilces , how
ever , to be under the control ot the pest-
master genual. Maxwell thinks much of
this bill , and every now and then he tolli.
the correspondent of The lice that the 1)111 )
IB gaining friends and making votes because
of the enormous pressure that Is being
brought to bear upon republican dlspem > 'ri ,
of olllecs for these said postollices. The
judge Is a figure upon the lloor of the house
and Is now pointed out by the guides at
the pa'.rlnrcli ' of the lower house of con
gress , and HIP one man in the populist party
wlio continues to wear his whiskers any
thing like the late Mr. I'cffcr.
\VllAj APPOINT COMMITTBUS.
There Is every reason to believe that
.Speaker Heed will appoint the committees
of the house of representatives before ad
journment of the prcxcnt extraordinary ees-
Elon of the Fifty-fifth congress. CJulut con
ferences have been going on recently at
the speaker's home at the Shorcham , to
which have been bidden the leaders on the
republican side of the house and several
senatorH , to discuss the propriety of jusr
when to make these committee appoint
ments. It IH expected that the tariff bill
will be In conference fiom five to fifteen ,
days , and It has been thought wise to make
the committee appointments during the con
sideration ot the bill.In conference. Iteud
is learning the pressure of the country , he
Is feeling the temper of the people , and to
u friend of Tim lice he said that In nil
probability the committees would bo np-
polnted before adjournment.
Pension Commissioner Hvans has so reor-
ganl/.ed his olllce and ayHten-atl/ed Us work
that he hopes to be able to drop between
100 and -00 employes within a short time.
Of course , the democrats charge that this
is merely a move to get demo
crats out ot nlllco , and later fill the
places with republicans. It Is an Inter
esting fact that every machine democrat
Jit inly believes that tills is the object of
] ; vans' action , and that It can bo done in
Bi'llo ' of the civil service commlssloncis.
Vet In Bplto of this belief of the democrats
when the republicans are In power , and of
thu republicans when the deincnratu are In
power , every machine politician of both
pirllts demands the repeal of iho civil
service law. If their charges were tnjo
there would be no occasion to re-peal or
modify the civil service law In order to
accomplish partisan ends.

occurred , which ha chanted all prediction *
as to when the bill will be voted on.
Tno HUKnr bounty miu-ndmcnt was reportel

laid aside , only lo be withdrawn later by
Senator Thuruimi. This tx-cinod to cirar the
atme phero for the moment , until Hmator
Allen renewed the amendment In liU name
and Insisted upun a voto. There was a dra
matic scene , greatly accentuated by Jones
of Arkansas , who snecrlngly referred to the
eenlor tenalor from Nebraska as being most
anxious to delay the patage of the bill.
Allen , nettled by Jones , refuted to withdraw
the amendment and until the motion to lay e > n
