THE GOLDEN SIDE.
There is many a rest in the road of li'e
if we would only stop to take it;
And many a tone from the better land
Jf the querulous heart would maJce it.
To the soul that Is full of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The crass is green and the flowers are
bright
Though the Winter's storm prevai'eth
"Rottpr hrnft thoueh the clouds hansz low,
And to fceep the eyes still lifted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep
through,
When the ominous clouds are rifted.
There was never a night without a day,
Or an evening withont a morning.
And the darkest hour, as the proverb goes,
Is the hour before the dawning.
There is many a gem in the path of life
Which we pass in our idle pleasure
'j hat is richer far than the jeweled <t<hv;i
Or tbe miser's hoarded treasure.
It may be the love of a little child,
L'r a raomer,sprayer iu ucu^n,
Or only a beggar's grateful thank-.
For a cup of water given.
Letter to weave in the web of life
A bright and golden fniing,
And do God's will with a cheerful heart.
? And hands that are ready and willing,
1 lian to snap the delicate, minute thread
Of our curious lives asunder,
And then blame heaven for tangled ends,
, And sit and grieve and wonder.

Brooklyn, juiy 1.?nsv. jjr. jl?image,
who is dow nearing Australia on ,
his round the world journey, has Ee- ,
lected a* the subject; for his sermon!
through the press today "The lloyal
_ __ Garden," the test being taken from
Solomon's Song v, 1 4'I am come Into
my garden."
The world has bad a ?reat many beautiful
gardens. Charlemagne added to the
glory ot his reign by dtcreeiog that they
be established all through the realm?
decreeing even the names ot the flowers
. . to te planted there. Henry IV, at
Moutpellier, established gardens of bewitching
beauty and loxariacce,
gathering into them A'pioe, Pyrenean
and French plants. One of the sweet
ests spots on earth was the garden of
Shenatone, the poet. His writings have
- - ?*- u
made bat little impression on tae worm,
but his garden, uTbe Leasowes," will
be immortal. To the natural advantage
ot that place was brought the perfection
of art. Arbor and terrace and slope and
rustic temple and reservoir and urn and
fountain here and their crowning. Oik
and yew and hazel put forth their richest
foliago. There was no life more diligent,
no soul more ingenious than that of Shenstone,
and all that diligence and genius
were brought to the adornment of that
one treasured spot. He gave ?300 for
it. He sold it for ?17,000.
And yet I am to tell you of a richer
garden than any I have mentioned. It
Al? ?nVnrnh ih rhf.

garden spoken of in my text, which be
lengs to Christ, lor my test says so.
He bought it, he planted it, he owns it,
and he shall have it. Walter Scott, in
hia outlay at AbboLaford, ruined his fortune.
And now in the crimson flowers
of those gardens you can almost think or
imagine that you see the blood of that old
man's broken heart. The payment of
the last ?100,000 sacrificed him. But I
"?- have to tell you that Christ's life and
Christ's death were the outlay of this
beautiful garden of the church of which
my text speaks. Oh, how, many sighs
find tears and pangs and agonies! Tell
me, je women.who saw him hang! Tell
me, ye executioners who lifted him and
i let him down! Tell me, tnou sun mat.
didst hide ye reeks that fel! l,Chri3t
loved the church and gave himself for
it." If, then, the garden of the church
belongs to Christ, certainly he has a
right to walk in it. Gome, then, O
blessed Jesus, this mora in?, walk up
and down these aisles and pluck what
thou wilt of sweetness for thyself.
The church, in my text, is appropriately
compared to a garden, because it is a
place of choice flowers, select fruits and
of thorough irrigation.
That would be a strange garden in
which there were no flowers. If nowhere
else, they will be a long the borders or at
the gateway. The homeliest taste will
dictate somethiag, if it be the old fash,
ioned hollyhock or dahlia or daffodil or
coreopsis, but if there be larger means
then you will find the Mexican cactus
and dark veined arbuteiion and blazing
azalea and clustering oleander. Well,
now, Christ comes to his garden, and he
plants there some of the brightest spirits
that ever flowered upon the world. Some
of them are violets, utconsplcuou3, but
sweet in heaven. You have to search
for such spirits to find them. You do
not see them very often perhaps, but you
find where they have been by the brightening
face of the invalid, and the sprig
of geranium on the stand, and the window
curtains keeping out the glare of the sunlight.
Thsy are perhajra more like the
ranunculus, creeping sweetly along amid
the thorns and briers of life, giving kiss
frtf otinrr or>/1 monv a man whn hns had
in his way some great black rock of trouble
has found that they have covered it
all over with flowering jasmine running
in and out amid the crevices. These
Christians in Christ's garden are noi like
the sunGower, gaudy ia light, but whenever
darknes3 hovers over a scul that
' needs to be comforted there they stand,
night blooming cereuses. J3ut m Christ's
garden there are plants that may be bettier
compared to the Mexican caclus?
thorns without, loveliness within?men
with sharp points of character. They
wound almost every one that touches
them. They are hard to handle. Men
pronounce them nothing but thoins, but
Christ loves them, notwithstanding all
their sharpneses. Many a man has had
very hard ground to culture, and it has
only been through severe toil he has
raised even the smallest crop of grace.
Avery harsh minister was talking
with a very placid elder, and the placid
elder said to the harsh minister, "Doctor,
1 do wish you would control your
temper." "'Ah," said the minister to
the elder, "I control more temper in live
minutes than you do in five years." It
is harder for some men to do rigLt than
for others to do right. The grace that
would elevate you to the seventh heaven
might not keep vour brother from knock
lag a man down. I had a friend who
came to me and said, "I dare not join
the church." I said, "Why?" "Ob,"
he said, "I have such a violent temper.
Yesterday morning I was crossing very
aarlv at the Jersey City ferry, and"! .jaw
a milkman pour a large amcunt of water
into the milk can, and I said to him, 'I
think that will do,' and be insulted me,
and I knock him down. Do you think I
ought to join the chnrcfc?': Xever .heless
that very same man. who wss so
-?? harsh m his behavior, loved Christ and
could not speak of sacred things without
tears of cmotioa and affection. Thorns
without, but sweetness within?the best
specimen of Mexican cactus I ever saw.
There are others planted in Christ's
garden who are always ardent, always
radiant, always impressive?more like
the roses of deep hn? ihat wis occasion

Martin Lnthers, St. Pauls, Chrysostoms
Wyklils, Latimers and Samuel Rather
fords. What in other teen is a spark,
in them is a conflagration. When they
sweat, they sweat great drops cf blood.
When they pray, their prajer take? fire.
When they preach, it is a Peniocost.
When they fight, it is a Thermopile.
When they die, it is a martyrdom. You
find a great many roses in the gardens,
but only a few "giants of battle." Men
say, "Why don't you have more of
them m the church?" I say, "Why
don't yon baye in the world more Napo
c
leons and Kumboidat and Wellington*'?"
God gives to some tfc tatenls, to another
one.
In lhi3 aarden of the church, which
Christ ba3 planted, I al?o Cod the snow
drop3, beauttful bat cold looking, seem
inglj another phase cfihe winter. I
I mean those Christians who are precise in
their tastes, uuimpassioned, pure as
snowdrops and as cold. They never
shsd any tears; they never get excited;
the never say anything rashly;
they never do anything precipitately.
Their pulses never flutter;
their nerves uev&r twitch; their indignation
never boils over. Thev live longer
than most people, but their life is in a
minor kev. They never run uo to ,kC"
above the staff. In the music of their life

planted them in the church, and they
must be of 3ome service, or they would
not be there. Snowdrops, always
snowdrops.
But I have not told \on of the most
beautiful (bwer in all the garden spoken
cl" in the text. Ii ycu see a "century
plant," ycur emotions are started. You
say, "Why, this llowerlns been a hundred
years gathering up for one bloom,
and it will be a hundred jcar3 more before
other petals will come out." But
I have to tell y&u of a plant that wa3
gathering up from all eternity, and that
1.900years ago put forth its bloom never

the cro3&! Prophets foretold it. Bsthlehera
shepherds looked on it in the bud
the rocks shook at its bursting, and the
dead got up in their winding sheets to
see its full bloom. It 13 a crimson llower?blood

branches, blood on all the leaves. lis
perfume is to fill all the nations. Its
touch is life. lis breath is heaven.
Come O winds, jr-;m the north and

east and winds from ths west, and
| bear to all the earth the sweet smelling
I savor of Christ, my Lord.
His worth, if all the nations icnew,
Sure the whole earth would love him too.
Again the church may be appropriately
compared to a garden, because it
is a place of select fruits. That would
be a strange gafdeu which had in it no
berries, no plums, ao peaches oranricots.
The coarser fruits planted in the orchard
or they are set out on the sunny
hillside, but the choicest fruits are kept
in the garden.
So ia the world outside the church
Christ has planted a great many beautiful
things?patience, c"iarity, generosity,
integrity?but he intends the choicest
I fraita to ba in the warden, and if ihey are
not there then shame on the church.
Religion is cot a mere flowering sentimentality.
It is a practical life giving,
healthful fruit?not posies, but apples.
"Oo," ssys somebody, "I don't see
what your garden of the church has
yielded." Where did your asylums
come from, and your hospitals, and your
institutions of mercj? Christ planted
every one of them. He planted them
in his garden. When Christ gave sight
to Bartimeus, he laid the cornerstone ot
every blind asylum that has ever beeu
built. When Christ soothed the demoniac
cf Galilee, he laid the cornerstone
of every lunatic asylum that has ever
been established. When Christ said to
the sick man, "Take up thy bed and
walk," he laid the cornerstone of every
hospital the world has ever seen. When
Christ said, "I was in prison, and ye
visited me," he laid the cornerstone of
every prison reform association t&at nas
everbeen formed, Tbe church of Christ
is a glorious garden and it is full of fruit.
I know there is some poor fruit in it. I
know there are some weeds that ought
to have been thrown over the fence. I
know there are some crab apple trees
that ought to be cut down. I know
there arc some wild grapes that ou?ht to
be uprooted, but are you going to destroy
the whole*garden because of a Utile
gnarled fruit? You will find worm
saten leaves in Fontainebleau and injects
that sting in the fairy groves of the
Champs Elyees. You do not tear down
" * - *- .-J
and destroy tne wnoie garueu uc^auso
there are a few specimens of gnarled
fruit. I admit there are men and women
in the church who ought not to be there"
1 bui let us be just a3 frank and admit the
j fact that there are hundreds and thousj
ands and tens of thousands of glorious
Christian men and women holy, blessed,
useful, consecrated and triumphant.
There is no grander collection in all the
earth than the collection of Christians.
There are Christian men in the church
whose religion i3 not a matter of psalm
singing and church going. Tomorrow
morning that religion will keep them

| "exchange" as it ever kept them at the
communion table. There are women m
: the chnrch of a higher type of character
than Mary of Bethany. They not only
sit at the feet of Christ, but they go out
into the kitchen to help Martha in hsr
work, that she may sit there too. There
is a woman who has a drunken husband,
who has exhibited more faith and patience
and courage than Hugh Latimer
I m the fire. He was consumed in 20
J minutes. Hers has been a 20 years'
martyrdom. Yonder is a man who has
! lain 15 years on bis back, unable even
| to feed himself, yet calm and peacelui
as though he lay on one of the green
banks of heaven, watching the oarsmen
dip their paddle3 in the crystal rivei!
Why, it seems to me this moment as it
Paul threw to us a penologist's catalogue
of the fruits growing in this great
garden of Christ?love, .j 3y, peace, patience,

to fill all the baskets of earth and heaven.
I have not told you of the better tree

grow upon it, but no sooner had that
tres been planted ' than it'
budded and blossomed and fruited, and
the soldiers' spears were only the clubs
that struck down that fruit, and it fell
into the lap of the nations, and men began
to pick it up and eat it, and they
found it an antidote to all thirst, to all

smallest cluster larger than the famous
one of Eschol. which two men carried
on a staff between them. If the one
apple in Eden killed Lhe race, this one
cluster of mercy shall restore it.
Again, the church in my text is appropriately
called a garden because it is
thoroughly irrfgated. gardeo could
prosper loag without plenty of water. I
noire sAPn ? <rarden in the midst of a
deseirt, yet blooming and luxuriant. All
around was dearth and barrenness, but
there were pipes, aqueducts reaching
from this garden up to the mountains,
and through these aqueducts the water
came streaming down and tossing up
into beautilul fountains until every root
and leaf and ilower wa3 saturated. That
is like the church. The church is a garden
in the midst of a great desert of sin
and sunermg. it is weu irriijaieu, iur
"our eyes are onto the hills, from
whence cometh our help." From the
mountains of God's strength there ilow
down rivers of gladness. There is a
river the stream thereof shall make glad
the city of cur God. Preaching the gospel
is one of these aqueducts, The Bible
is another. Baptism and the Lord's
supper are aqueducts. Water to slake
the thirst, water to restore the faun,
water to wash the uncIeaD, water tossed
high up in the light of the sun of righteousness
showing us the rainbow around
the throne. Oh, was there ever a garden
so thoroughly irrigated? You know the
beauty of Versailles and Chats worth
depends very much on the great supply
cf water. I came to the latter place
(Chatsworth) one day when straogers
are not to be admitted, bat by an in- |
ducemen!, which always 3eemed as ap- |
plicableto an Englishman as aa Amer- j
ican, I got in, and then the gardener
went far up above the etairs of stone and
turned on the water. I saw it gleaming
on the dry pavement coming down
from step to step; until it came so near
11 could hear the musical rush, and all
over the high, broad stairs it came
1 - - - ? j ? ?.j 11
; foaming, nasDing, roaring uowu uuui i
sunlight and wave in gleesome wrestle j
tumbled at my feet. So it is with the
church of God. Everything comes from
above?pardon from above, joy from
above, adoption from above, sanctification
from above. Oh, that now God
would turn on the waters ci" salvation
that they might ilow down through his
heritage and that this day we might
each find ;our places to be "Elims,"
with 12 wells of water and threescore
and ten palm trees.
Hark, I hear the latch at the garden
gate, and I look to see who is coming!
I hear the voice of Christ, '1 am come
into my garaem. i say: - ^uuie m, v
Jesus; we have been waitiuz for thee
Walk all through these paths. Look at
the flowers; look at the fruit. Pluck
that which thou will for thyself."
Jesus comes into the garden and up to
that old man and touches him and
says: "Almost home, father. Xot many
more aches for thee. I will never leave
thee. I will never forsake thee. Take
courage a little longer, acd I will
stand thy totteriog step3, and I will
soothe thy troubles and give thee rest.
Courage, old man." Then Christ goes
up another garden path, and he
comes to a soufin trouble and says:
"Peace; all is weli! I have seen thy
tears; I have heerd thy prayer. The
" ^ ' 11 ? ? r?Tr tho
sun snsn cob suiue bue uy u?y, uut kuc
moon by night. The Lord shall
preserve thee from all evil. lie
will preserve thy soul. Courage, ()
troubled spirit!" Then 1 see Jesus
going up another garden path, and I
see great excitement among the leaves,
and I hasten up that garden path to see
what Jesus is doing there, and. lo, he is
breaking off flowers, sharp and clean,
from the steam, and I say, "Stop, don't
kill those beautiful flowers." He turns
to me and says: "I have come into my
garden to gather lilies, and I mean to
take these up to a higher terrace and
for the garden around my palace, and
there 1 will plant them and in better
----- m, _i?1) i- KM*rr(ifar

leaves and sweeter redolence, and no
frost shall touch them forever." And
I looked up into his face and said:
''Well, it is his garden, and he has a
right to do what he will with it. Thy
will be done"?the hardest prayer a
man ever made.
JL notice that the fine gardens sometimes
have high fences arouud them,
and I cannot get in. It is so with the
king's garden. The only glimp3es you
ever get of such a garden is when the
king rides out in his splendid carriage.
It is not so with this garden the king's
garden. I throw wide open the gate
and tell you all to come in. No monopoly
in religion. Whosoever will, may
choose now between a desert and a
garden. Many of you have tried the
garden of this world's delight. You
have found ic has been a chagrin. So it
was with Theodore Hook. He made
all the world laugh. He makes us
laugh now when we read his poems,
but he could not make his own heart
laugh. While in the midet of his festivities,
he confronted a looking glass,
and he saw himself and said: "There,
thati3 true. Hook just as I am, done
up in body, mind and purse." So it was
with Shenstone, of whose garden I told
at. thA hwrinninc of mv sermon.
He sat down amid.those bowers and
said: "I have lost my road to happiness
I am angry and envious and frantic ana
despise everything around me, just as
it becomes a madman to do." Oh, ye
weary souls, come into Christ's garden
today and pluck a little heartsease!
Christ is the only rest and the
pardon for a perturbed spirit.
Do you not think your chance
has almost come? You men and women
wno have been waiting year and
after year for some good opportunity
in which to accept Christ, but have
postponed it 5,10, 20,30 years, do you
not feel as if now your hour of deliverance
and salvation had come ? Oh, man,
what grudge hast thou against thy
poor soul that thou wilt not let it be
saved? I feel as if salvation must come
now to some of your hearts.
Some years ago a vessel struck on the
rocks. They had only one nieDoat. m
that lifeboat the passengers and crew
were getting ashore. The vessel had
foundered and was sinking deeper, and
deeper, and that one boat could not
take the passengers very swiftly. A
little girl stood on the deck, waiting
for her turn to get into the boat. The
boat came and went?came and went?
but her turn did not seem to come.
After awhile she could wait no longer,
and she leaped on the taffrail and then
sprang into the sea, crying to the boatman:
"Save me next! Save me next!"
Oh, how many have gone ashore Into
God's mercy, and yet you are clinging
to the wreck of sin! Others have accepted
the pardon of Christ, but you are in
peril. Why not this morning mate a
rush for your immortal rescue, crying
until Jesus shall hear you and heaven
and earth ring with the cry: "Save me
next!" "Save me next!"

Columbia, S. C., July 5?The judiciary
committee of the State .Farmers'
Alliance, consisting of Norman Eld er
of York, Ool.D. K. Norris of Anderson,
the Rev. J. A. Slight of Newberry
and John Gadson of Aiken, met^in this
city yesterday for the purpose of invesigating
the management of the

Duncan. The investigation was asked
for by Col. Duncan.
The committee, after a session of
several hours, during which it went
through all of the books of the exchange,
made up its - report, and will
for ward it to the president of the Alliance,
Senator W. If. Evans. The report
will show that Col. Duncan's management
of the exchange has been entirely
satisfactory and that none of the
charges brought against him are true.
For some time the Piedmont Headlight,
the organ of Stanyarne Wilson,
who is opposing Col. Duncan for Congress
in the Fourth district, has been
maklnc all kinds of charges agaiDst
the manager of the State Alliance Exchange.
In tbe issue of June 2 several
columns were devoted to these changes,
and some of them were particularly
heavy.
.Because the Alliance Exchanee advertises
its price list in the Cotton
Plant at a cost of $480 a year, Gantt
charged that this money had been used
by Col. Duncan to buy out the Cotton
Plant as his organ to be used tor his
political purposes. Gantt also charged
that Col. Duncan tried to extort from
the Ailiancemen a profit of 61.85. per
ton more for guano than private parties
bought the same goods for. Gantt
also charged that Col Duncan had oeen
selling sewing machines at $19.75 which
bad been bought by outside parties
elsewhere for less than $16. and which
Duncan had confessed had cost only
$17. He charged that Duncan had been
making $2.75 clear profit on each
machine, and that not a nickel of the
profit had gone into the treasury
of the exchange. He charged
also that Duncan had been
lending out money from the Alliance
treasury and pocketing the interest.
Gantt then made the charge that Duncan
used his railroad passes, in violation
nf the State law. to travel on busi
ness. He scored him, too, far allowing
the railroads in this State to charge '
higher rates than are allowed in Georgia.
The rest of the charges were devoted
to Col. Duncan's record as a
j lleformor.

; Wasaington, July 3.?The Senate
met at 10 a. mM in continuation of yesterday's
Isgi3lativr se33ion by virtue of
a recess taken last night. That obviated
all delays incident to the formalities
of the regular opening of a new
day. The tariff bill was taken up at
once and action on amendments of the
committee of the whole occupied the
entire day's session.
First came the motion made by Mills
on Monday evening to place burlaps

free list. It was carried by a vote of
28 to 7. Next came the famous collars
and cuffs amendment, fixing the duty
on these articles at 30 cents per dozen
and 30 per cent, advalorem, and on
shirts at 50 per cent., equivalent, according
to a statement made by Chandler,
to an advalorem rate of from 80 to
125 per cent. That amendment was
agreed to (after a couple of satirical
SDeeches directed against the junior
Senator from Xew York, Murphy) by
a vote of 43 to 5.
Then the great wool schedule came
up for action, Sherman offering an
amendment to place wool on the dutiable
list at 30 per cent, advalorem. The
longest discussion of the day took
place on this proposition?appeals being
made by Republican Senators to
Democratic Senators from wool producing
States to supply even two votes
fn- the. amendment, which would be
enough, with the Populists' votes to
carry it. But these appeals fell on
deaf ears. There was not a single desertion
from the Democratic ranks on
the question of wool. The two Populist
Senators who usually act with the
Democrats. Allen and Kyle, did not
vote; and the amendment was defeated
?yeas 32, nays 37. Wool therefore remains
on the free list. The committee
amendmet, placing bituminous coal
on the dutiable list at 40 cents a ton
and coal slack at 15 cents wa3 agreed
to by a vote of 57 to 6. The six were
AlleD, Hill, lrby, Kyle,Mills and Peffer.
The committee amendment which
had been originally offered by Hill, exempting
the salaries of the President
of the United States and of the judges
of the United States from the income
tax, was rejected after a brief struggle,
by a vote of yeas 34, nays 36?ten De

Republicans and three Populists
against it. The date when the bill Is
to go into effect, was, on motion of
Jones, fixed at August 1st, 1894?with
the understanding if necessary a later
day can be fixed hereafter.
Barbed wire was a subject of some
dispute. An amendment had been
agreed to in the committee of the
wnole that barbed wire for fencing,

amendment was rejected; and one off

place wire for fencing on the free list
was also rejected?yeas 32; nays 38.
And so wire remains on the dutiable 1
list, at rates according to gauge. Mica
was taken off of the free list and put
on the dutiable list at 20 per cent, advalorem
upon motion of Kansom.
Ransom's amendment prevailed by a :
vote of 40 yeas and 28 nays. Some
amnspment was had on the floor by the '
personal appeal of Hansom to Senators
to support his amendment. His threeminute
speech in favor of his proposition
was the only one he has made on
the tariff question and after he had
concluded the Senators gathered about <
him and promised support. After the !
vote, Ransom interrupted Morgan for i
the purpose of, he said, "completing
his amendment," which he proceeded j
to do by moving to strike mica from ,
the free list, where it had been placed ,
by the committee. This was agreed to

Morgan offered an amendment to
come in as five additional sections at
the end oi the bill, aimed at trusts and
conspiracies in restraint ot trade ana ,
commerce or to increase the market
price of imported articles. He made a ,
speech in explanation and defense of
the amendment, which would have the
affect, he said, of repressing "those
trusts in all their multiplied hideousness."
The amendment was agreed
to without division. The first section
of it is as follows:
"Section 75. That every combination
conspiracy, trus^ agreement or con
tract is hereby declared to be contrary
to public policy, illegal and void, when
the same is made by or between two
or more persons or corporations, eitoer
of whom is engaged in importing any
article from any foreign country into
the United States and when such combination,
conspiracy,'trust, agreement
or contract is intended to operate in
restraint of lawful trade or free com- "
petition in lawful trade or commerce or
to increase the market, price in any
port of the United States of any article
or articles imported or intended to be
imported into the United States, or of
any manufacture, into which such imported
article enters or is intended to
enter. Any person who is or shall
hereafter be ensaeed in the importa
tlon of goods or any commodity from
any foreign country in violation of this
section of this act. or who shall combine
or conspire with another to violate
the same is guilty of a misdemeanor
and on conviction thereof in any court
of the United States such persons shall
be fined in a sum not less than $100 and
not exceeding So,000 and shall be further
punished by imprisonment in the
discretion of the court for a term not
less than three months nor exceeding
twelve months.
Allen then offered the amendment to
the sugar schedule of which Jones gave
notice vesterdav. but which he did not
at any time today offer in the Senate.
Jones asked Alien to withdraw it, but
he declined. It was then laid on the
table on motion of Harris?yeas 50;
nays 22.
At 8:45 p. m., a suggestion was made
by Dolph that the Senate should either
dispose of the bill quickly or let it go
over till Thursday. He should hate to
see the national day desecrated by the.
passage of such a bill. "JNTothing
could be so painful to me," Harris remarked
satirically, "as to give the
slightest pain to the Senator from Oregon.
But I think that the bill should
be disposed of before- the Senate adjourns?and
X hope that every Senator
will stay here until It is disposed of;"
These amendments were agreed to:
Increasing the duty on files (paragraph
141) from 30 cents per dozen to 35 cents;
mating he duty on type metal (paragraph
171) % cent per pouud on the
lead contained therein, and 15 per cent
on new type; reducing the duty on

cent per pound to 8-10 of a cent. Pettigrew
offered an amendment providing
for a tariff commission. Rejected
?yeas 30; nays 38. An amendment
was adopted to one of the income tax
sections, on motion of Hill, approved
by Vest, providing that all State, connty,
municipal and town taxes paid by
incorporations shall be included in
their operating: and business expenses.
At 10 p. m., there tfas an immense
concourse of spectators in the galleries,
most of them ladies, and all waving
fans industriously, for the atmosphere
of the chamber was hot and
sweltering. Senators evinced great
impatience at the unnecessary delay occasioned
by the offering of amendments
which had no show of being adopted,
but which occupied time in taking
the yeas and nays. There was much
excitement as to the result cf the final
vote and a rumor prevailed that t^i
y
to
_
bill would be beaters. The chairman of
the Honse committee on ways and
means?Mr. Wilson?and Representative
McMillin and Springer were Interested
spectators of the proceedings and
eager watchers of the last struggle.
At 10 p. m. the bill was read the
third time, and then Mr. Smith (Dam.)
of New jersey ro3e and addressed
the Senate in a" set speech against the
"socialistic income tax," as he characterized
it; but he should vote for the
pending bill, because he is a Democrat.
Hill declared ms conunuea aabagunism
to the bill as a rag-bag prcdaction,
a crazy quilt combination, a
splendid nothing. The close of his
speech was applauded. The calling of
the roll on the final passage of the
tarilT bill began at 10:25 and the vote
resulted; Yeas 39; nays 34. Caffery
voted no, and after the vote had
been completed, made a brief explanation
as to why he had done so,
and then changed hi3 vote to one in
favor of the bill.

who was denied the privilege of explaining
his vote, on an objection,
contented himself with a simple "yea."
Hill was the only Democrat to vote
against the bill. The Populists, Allen
and Kyle, voted for it, and Teller
against it. Following is the vote in
detail:

Thft Vir.ft nresident anoointed the
following managers on the part of the
Senate as conferees: Voohees, Harris,
Vest, Jones, Shermao, Allfson and
Aldrich.
It was no secret among those who
had the confidence of the leaders on the
Republican side that they expected to
defeat the tariff bill and that they
figured on a majority of one against it.
The first break on the Democratic side
came whe the name of Caffery was
called and he responded with an emphatic
"no." His colleague, Blanchard,
did, not respond to his name at all
when it was called.
Irby, it was claimed, had promised
to vo^e against the bill, but when his
name was called, he responded in the
affirmative, and all hope of defeating
fViA Hill rroniahor?

Caffery, then after a brief explanation
and a protest against the way his
people had been treated, changed his
vote to one in favor of the bill, and
Blancnard voted in the san^e way.
Had Irby stood by the combination, the
two Louisana Senators would hove remained
firm and the vote would have
been 37 to 3G against the bill.

A Placky Woman.
West Chester, I'd., July 4.?Two
tramps waylaid Miss Lizzie Painter, of
Hopewell, and as a result one of them
got a pistol bullet in his arm. Miss
Painter is a music teacher, and was
driving from one of her sclioiai's homes
to Hopewell. In a lonely part of the
road a man, evidently atrr.mp, jumped
out from the undergrowth at the roadside
and toid her to "crawl down out of
that wagon." For an answer Miss
Painter raised her reyolver and fired,
and with a cry of pain the man dropped
his hold on the horse with a t allet in
his wrist. Just at this moment
another man ran out to catch the horse,
and tbe yonng lady fired at him, but
missed. The horse was frightened at
the reports and rushed down the road
before the second man could stop it.
Since then a diligent search has been
made for the tramps, but they have
not been caught.

Washington, June 29.?The reading^
the -Journal having been dispensed
with, the House joint resolution extendj
in? for thirty da??- the appropriations
for the support of the Govern me".;', was
taken up, and in the absence of Mr.
Hoar, who had interposed objections on
Wednesday and Thursday, was referred
to the committee on appropriations and
without a moment's delay was reported
back by Senator Cockrell, chairman of
the committee, res'! without any objec'
tion passed.
A resolution ottered yesterday by Senator
Sherman, directing: the inquiry into
the charges for the use of seats, berths
and sections in the Pullman sleeping and
parlor cars, was laid before the Senate
and agreed t,o.
The House bill to defice and establish
the units of electrical measure was taken
rom. the Callendar and pasccd with
some verbal amendments.
At 10.30 the tarifl bill was taken up,
the question being on Section 104,
abrogating the reciprocity treaties.
Ssnator Hale moved to strikes out the
section, but yielded to Senator Vest to
modify it on the part of the finance committee,
which he did by inserting a proviso
that nothing contained in tbe section
should be held to abrogate such reciprocity
or commercial arrangements between
the United States and foreign countries,
excopt where such arrangements are inconsistent
with the provisions of the
Act.
The discussion on this was temporarily
suspended in order to permit Senator
Hoar to ofier an amendment to Section
94, which would allow alcohol used in
tne arts and manufactures to be tree
from tax, under rules to be prescribed

under a promise that if found to be impracticable
he would afterwards vote
with the committee to reject it. The
amendment was agreed to with the consent
of the finance committee.
The discussion as to the abrogation
ot the reciprocity arranger eat wa3 resumed
and was participate. in by Senators
Allison and Sherman in opposition
to the section, and bv Senator Ve3t in
defence and explanation of it. Oae of
the points made by him was that the
absolute repeal ef Section 3 of the McKialey
Act was to take away from the
President in the iuture all the authority
which he possessed under that section.
Senator Higgins: "Is it the Senator's
proposition tnat in the future the power
to make reciprocal conventions will be
left to the treaty-making power?the
President and Senate?and taken from
the President: alonf?"
Senator Vest: "That 13 the object?"
Senator Vets'* modification was
agreed to without division.
Senator Hale moved to strike oui the
whole section, and the motion was rej
scted?yeas 24, nays 34.
Section 104 now repeals the 3d section
otthe McKmley .Act, and provides that
"nothing herein contained shall be held
to abrogate or in any way affect such reciprocal
commercial arragenments as
nave Deen nenoiore mauc auu uuw caist
between the United States anc foreign
countries. except where such arrangements
are inconsistent with the povlsions
of this Act."

of State, informing the Senate, at the request
ot the French ambassador, that a
religious seryice in memory of thfe late
President of the French Republic would
be beld at St. Matthew's Church, Washington,
nest Sanday at 12 M , wa3 laid
before the Senate, and it was resolved,
on motion of Senator Hoar, that the
Senate shall attend such religious service.
The Senate resumed consideration of
the tariff bill, and Senator P<Iier moved
to insert an additional section levying a
duty of fifty dollars on every foreigner
coming by steam or pail vessel to any
port within the United States and on
every alien immigrant crossing the
border line batween ths U nited States
and contiguous nations.
Senator Piatt suggested the insertion
of the words "to engage in any industrial
occupation," and Senator Pdi'er
accepted the suggestion, saying that the
idea was exactly right and in accordance
with his own idea.
Senator Harris arose to move to lay
Senator Feller's amendment on the
table, but instead he moved to lay the"
Senator from Kansas on the table.
Senator Peffer gezed over at Senator
Harris with an air of mingled wounder
and reproach, and the galleries oroke
out into laughter, in which the Senators
joined. The Vice President, however,
put the question in the correct form and
the motion to lay Senator Pefl'er's
amendment on the table was carried,

were siven by Senators Gallinger. Hlggins,

reducing the bonded period from eisht
years to four years. Kei ecled?yeas 23,

A large number of amendments were
offered by Senator Jones, Damocrat, of
Arkansas, on behalf of the finance com
mitiec, many ui meuu metei^ iviwbi,
and none of them important enough to
meet any opposition. All were agreed
to.
All the committee amendments having
been disposed of Senator Hoar appealed
to the finance committee to admit
a paragraph putting a duty of 10
per cent ad valorem on sea moss or Iceland
moss. He asked it in the interest
or a few meritorious and hard working
men on the coast of Massachusetts.
Senator Harris joined in the appeal,
and Senator Jones, on behalf of the hnftnc,fl
committee, said that he could not
resist the united appeal. The paragraph
was therefore inserted.
Many other amendments were suggested
by various S?natcr3, but they w nt
over to be offered in the Ssnate. The
bill was then reported from the committee
of the whole to the Senate, and
it wa3 ordered that tbe Dill and amend
ments be printed.
A suggestion having been made of an
adicurnment till Mondav in order to
give ticce for the printing ot the bill and
amendments, Senator Harris protested
against the delay, stating that the coua- [
try was waiting anxiously to know what
was going to be done with the tariff bill.
He would not consent to its going over
a single day or a single hour,
The Senate then proceeded to.tbe consideration

Th? Crop Rf>piitt
Columbia, 6. C., June 4.?The following
is the crop xeport for the past
week:
The weather and crop conditions
have changed materially and for the
better during the past week. The temperature
ranged nearly normal, being
slightly below on the immediate coast,
and slightly in the excess in the interior.
Friday, June 29ih, wa3 very hot
wilh temperature between 9G and 100
over the entire State, except on the
immediate coast. The excessive heat
was general over the entire cotton region
of the United States, the average
maximum of 132 stations Deing \u degrees
on that date. The sunshine was
below the usual amount, averaging between
GO and 70 for the whole State,the
deficiency having a tendency to injure
cotton. The rainfall was widespread,
quite general, and in places excessiye.
Drought conditions have been
narrowed down to portions of Clarendon,
Fairfield, Orangeburg, Florence
and Williamsburg counties.
Overflows of creeks and washing
rains destructive to crops occurred in
Edgefield, Anderson, Abbeville, and
Osonee counties. Destructive windstorms
occurred in Barnwell, Laurens,
Newberry, Lancaster and Fairfield
counties. Destructive hailstorms occurred
in Barnwell, Laurens, Newberry,
Lancaster and Fairfield counties.
Destructive windstorms in Pickens,
Greenville, Edgefield, Laurens, Union,
and Anderson counties; the storm of
the 23th beine especially severe in
Greenville and Pickens.
Giving due consideration to the areas
of damage bv wind, hail, and overflows
of creeks and to areas of insufficient
rain,the crops are vastly improved and
are in excellent condition.
Early corn much improved, but was
too far advanced toward maturity to
receive much benefit from the changed
conditions and it is estimated will
not make much more than half a crop.
Late planting very good on bottom
lands, beginning to be grassy where
not too wet to work.
Cotton growing rapidly aad fruiting
well, except in a few localities where
it is going to weed; needs more sunshine,
beginning to get grassy wherfe
too wet to work. Rice improved during
the week and doing fairly well, bufc
there is still danger from salt water in
Georgetown county, owing to the low
stage of the river. A larger acreage
of peas being planted than ever before
in many sections, but seed is reported
9f?ar<>.A_ Planting of sweet ootato slips
continues. Melons ripening fast but
individual melons as well as the total
crop will be smaller than usual. Pasturage
growing very fast.
The crop prospects summed up are
more eneouraging now than they have
been at any time this year, but would
be still further improved by a rainless
week with a high percentage of sunshine.
The following places reported rainfalls
above the weekly normals:

Columbia, S. C., July 3.?The love
of liberty was strongly illustrated yesterday
afternoon when a young white

met his death from a bullet which passed
through his body. The young fellow
roas only twenty-three years of age and
bad but a few months more of his sentence
to serve.
It ?;eems that the poor fellow was the
victim of a plot which he with many
others had formed to escape and which
he was the only one to attempt to carry
c-o\ Tbe, story cf the young prisoner's
d;a<h is about as follows:
rha prisoner, James Hill, who was
sent up from Edgefield county on the
15th of March last, under a sentence of
twelve months for larceny of live stock,
was one of a squad of twelye convicts,
most of whom were white and among
whom was Edwards, the young lawyer
sent up from Sumter county, to go to the
State farm, about two miles above the
city, to load some wagons hauling pine
straw. "ine squad was iu vi
Guards La far and F. Hardy. They were
walking along the r?;lrr>al track about
a mile above the clt} utjfr the old rock
quarry, just where there is a dense
thicket on each side of the road. Without
the slightest warning Hill suddenly
threw down his rake and dashed off down
a little by-path into the thicket. The
guard fired at him as he cashed into the
thicket, but missed him. Guard Hardy
o(1- of nAmfi distance from the
track and stood on the top of a high hill
overlooking the surrounding ground.
The convict soon dashed out the -edge
of the thickel, 100 yards away and the i
guard Heed at him. He fell and expired
in a few minutes. The ball entered his
back just above the hip, near the spinal
column, and passed through the body.
Ccronor Eoach was notified and held an
inquest yesterday evening, the jury rendering
a verdict that Hill was killed bv

duty. The penitentiary authorities
think that there was a plot anion? all
the white men in the squad to escape,
and that Hill made the break before the
others realized what he was about. Ed*
wards and one or two others stated to
the authorities after the killing that Hili
bad told them that he intended to make
the attempt wh*n sent out yesterday at ernoon.?State.
Courteous R?Dliea.
Columbia, S. C., July 5.?Capt. John
G. Capers was asked today by a Journal
reporter as to what further replies
he had received from county chairmen
iu reference to General Butler's request
for separate boxes and whether Cnairman.Nettle's
reply was a fair sample
of the replies. He said the reply received
from him was. by no means a fair
indication of the tenor of tne replies.
Oa the contary, they were in marked
contrast. He had received replies from
manv counties and from many men re
presenting the Reform faction and they
were courteous and conciliatory.
For instance a chairman of a Piedmont
County who id an ardent Tillmanite
and office holder under the present
administration writes:

This comes very much nearer being a
