D. C. (Special).?The United i Wednesday heard one of tlo debates In Its history. ,-erman, Teller, Gorman, Aidhandler, Frye, Alien, Hale, ' occupied the foreground. It "rank discussion of many of Hfl^gl&^^aesttons of tlie day, by men woo aSgBraHgA^out of a National contest in was intense. Oat of all recrimination came a fiBH?Hrorecast of ,policy from the leading of the Senate. H tonlv were the lines laid down on tariff mBS^viaDces but the debate partook of all HffigKat up feeling resulting from the reoent jOH^WffwHrtfrifest. Often it was dramatic in HNsj^Riteasity and at all times absorbingly KS^Vresting to the crowded galleries and KBHent body of Senators. Political differuj^Hces camo in for a fair share of attention, * ry VTbBOV DINGLET. Jit. (The Maine Congressman After whom the ^ Dingley bill is named.) k and' the names of Messrs. MeKinley and Bryan were often heard. President Cleve^kl&Qd also received attention. ' Mr. Allen de^KitTred that the Fresilient was a Repablicun gHwho rejoioed with Republicans oyer their Hpreoent mutual ylctory. g Mr. Sherman, speaking lor his Republican associate?, declared that all possibility of K passing the Dingley bill was at an end, and A that it would be abandoned. Mr. ^Teller, speaking for the Silver Repub9 li? ns, said that he was not ready to concede B the support of this element to the coming 9 tarifRmk, and that the measure would have take its chances through its inherent | merits of winning votes irom that quarter. I mr. uormau, speasiug iur iuo uomuuruug L fide of the chamber, conceded for the first I time that the Republican Senators would have a clear majority after March 4 next, and Renounced thut there woula be 'no opposition from the Democratic side to the passage of the tariff bill, beyond a demand for adequate time to discuss it. Since Conzress reassembled intense feeling on political matters has been latent among toe Senators. Mr. Vest gave the opportunity for free and open siatement by calling up the Dingley bill for the purpose of making & speech against the' protective .system. It was in his characteristic style and bitterly personal. Mr. Vest took occasion to arraign the Republican party for alleged corruption in the St. Louis Convention. 'A general debute followed, and lending Senators expressed the opinion that the Dinglev bill could not be passed. Mr. Sherman anoltn earnestly about the need of lecris Hl latin# t0 provide more revenue. Mr. Teller HLdeclarod that nobody in the Semite expected ^Bth> Dingley measure to pass. Both Teller IMft Gorman made insinuations against the gH^Khods of the Republican party in carrying -election. HD nntor Teller, now the recognized leader he Populists in the chamber, intimated V ,t be would not support a Republican .iff measure. He aooused the Republicans Hr ?' having framed the Dingley bill with tbe rail knowledge that it could not pass, and B* of endeavoring tQ fool people by presently Ing a bill for political purposes which HH icoy uau uu ucmio ui mieuiiuu 10 S enact into irw. This statement was promptly repudiated oy half a dozen Senators, but V Mr. Teller's challenge served to bring out ^tlia fact, which was flrat admittedly Sen TaTbr Plntt. of Connecticut, that there are T not now und nevi r were enouch supporters ' of the Dingley bill in the Senilis to pass if. Mr. Hale expressed tbe hope that'the Senate and country would take notioe, from the statements made by 8enutors Gorman and L Teller, of the difficulties under which the Republican party in the Senate labored, k Mr. Gorman?"You have succeeded?I will not say how?in naving the responsibility. But you know that you canuot accomplish anything substantial at this session of Congress. You ought, therefore, to stop this I discussion and prevent the upturning of the [business interests of the country." { The Republican leaders quickly saw their opportunity to get rid of a troublesome burHen. There was a hurried whispered oonHtation between Senators Sherman. AldQph, Hale and Morrill, and Senator Sherman h rose aua s;imuiai iu vihw oi me simum?n;n H that bad just been made as to the impossiM bility of passing the Dingley bill, the Senate V -ought not to waste any more time over it.

[re_ Little things in oommon life, at pome or ~ in the round of daily work, a severer teat of at . 'character than great afflictions?this was ind one of the lessons at a recent prayer meetrjj? ing in a country ohurch, when Job's Trials ted ana Oars was the subject in course. A lad} ria ?apparently disregarding entirely Paul's nm advice to the women of old time; perhaps ?/ they did not hare prearranged prayei meeting topics at Corinth, so that the; could ask their husbands what to say aboul them?brought out finely the thought that our trials, if not Job's, consisted largelj ,of petty vexations. Then a gentleman, a stranger 1a the meeting,arose and oonflrmed the thought by an incident of personal experience years before. The ship on wbioh he was a passenger was caught in perilous fields of ice, which all night long nrnnhnr! Against her sides. Rnt thn wnrrt nf Job gsve the. passenger perfect peace "Though he slay me, yet will I trust In him." The mornirij? came at last, the wtnd took the loe away and the sbip to its desired haven. As they neared the port a huge ' Newfoundland dog in play jumped against the man and sprained nls thumb, so that he had to undergo the humiliation of /saluting his friends on shore with his left hand. He triumphed over the perils of icebergs in the sea, but a woundea thumb he could not bear! The writer of this can add from his experience another commentary on s,, the patience of Job. It wa? made by a-quaint "old sea captain, who in his disappointment " that an immense sohool of makerel did not , respond to the hbok,exclaimed, "This would 1 have tried the patience of Job." The reply ' was made to him that Job suffered far greater trials and bore them all patiently.

It is not in theii >93. mind nearly so line and noble a thing as it i a is in the mind of God. It lacks robustness ted and vigor. It cannot correct or admonish. I in It must express itself in endearments and >w- caresses. It is too soft, sensitive and sentivo mental to hold the reins of government. It nor does not issue commands, it poure forth entreaties. Indulgence, lenience, gentleness, mercy, are component parts of all virtue, but there must be no sternees, no authority. This emasculated notion of love which strips it of all manliness and brings dlv it vperilously ' near the point of con, tempt in the eyes of those who have . any strength and stamina, has done great 76(1 harm. Just as faith and hope are in contew stant danger of being degraded into fanatihlp elsm ana hallucination, so the danger of love in laxity. Parents imagine that if they love their children they must give mem tee jon8e retna an(j gratify all their whims, t0 which is only another way of consenting to aP* their ruin. And multitudes fanoy that ,ra" since God Is love, nothing vory severe or painfi^Lwlll be donfe to thode who willfully ' and haoltnally disregard His laws. It seems hard for such "to understand that genuine love is always guided by Intelligence, and in no way prevents a ruler from,, taking whatever measures are for the best Interests . of his subject*. Love is the opposite of selfishness. And it is Selfishness, not love, ,; which prompts one in authority to consult <j his own ease, or the gratification of his good-natured, thoughtless impulses, rather than to take the pains necessary for the real welfare of those committed to his charge. ^ Happy the time when love Is law and light ' ? is leader In all hearts! But until that day love must not remit Its vigilance, or relax its ? control, or resign its virility.. |ft Twnf TEACH lips.
