TBE GOLDEN SIDE. 1
There 13 many a rest in the road of li'o (
If we would only stop to take it; <
And many a tone from the better land
if the queralojs heart would make it. .
To the soul that is fall of hope, 1
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth, <
The grass is green and the flowers are I
bright i
Though the Winter's storm prevaileth.
Letter hope though the clouds hang low, :
And to keep the eye-^ still litted;
For the sweet blue sky will soon peep t
through, t
When the ominous clouds are rifted. (
There was never a night without a day,
Or an evening without a morniDg. * .
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
rJ hat Is richer far than the jeweled crown
Or the miser's hoarde d treasure,
it may be the love of a little child,
Cr a mothers prayer to heaven,
Or only a beggar's grateful thank >
For a cnp of water given.
Better to weave in the web of life
Abrightand golden fi ling,
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.
THE ROYAL GARDEN
Rfcv. Dr. Tuluis^e Talks of the Flowers
ot the Church.
Brooklyn, July Dr. Talmaee,
who is now nearing Australia on
his round the world journey, has selected
a* the subject for bis sermon
through the press today ' The Royal
Garden," the text being taken from
Solomon's SoDg v, 1 "I am come Into
my garden."
The world has bad a great many beau Li
fill gardens. Charlemagne added to tne ^
glory of his reign by decreeing that they *
be established all through the realm?
decreeing even the names ot the fbwers
to he planted there. Henry 1Y, at
Moatpellier, established gardens of be- a
witching beauty and luxuriance, h
gathering into them Alpine, Pjrenean b
and French plants. One of the sweet- b
ests spots on earth was the warden of 1
Shenstone, the poet. His writings have c
made bnt little impression on the world, b
bat his garden, "The Leasowcs," will ii
be immortal. To the natural advantage
ot that place was brought the perfection (
of art. Arbor and terrace and slope and fi
rustic temple and reservoir and urn and ii
fountain here and their crown'mg. Oik f]
and yew and hazel put firth their richest
foliage. There was no life more diligent. I
no sonl more ingenious than that of Shen
stone, and all that diligence and genius b
were brought to th*. adornment of that 41
ODe treasured 3pot. He gave ?300 for *
it. He sold it for ?17,000. y
And yet I am to tell you of a richer c
garden than any I have mentioned, It ii
is the gardjn of the church, it is the e
garden spoken of in my text, which be ii
lengs to Christ, for my text says so. v
TT? hnnaht ifc: he rdanted it. he owns it. e
and bo shall have it. Walter Scott, in b
his outlay at Abbotsford, ruined his for- a
tune. And now in 'the crimson flowers o
of those gardens you can almost think or b
imagine that you see the blood of tbei old J
man's broken heart. The payment of v
the last ?100,000 sacrificed him. But I h
have to tell you that Christ's life and c
Christ's death were the outlay of this v
beautiful garden of the church of which e
my text speaks. Oh, bow, many sighs e
and tears and pangs and agonies! Tell U
me, ye women who saw him hang! Tell I
me, ye executioners who lifted him and k
let him down! Tell me, thou sun thai ti
didst hide ye rocks that fel.! "Christ k
loved the church and gave himself for tl
it." If, then, the garden of the church t!
belongs to Christ, certainly he has a b
right to walk in it. Come, then, O s
blessed Jesua, this morning, walk up tl
and down these aisles and pluck what e
:U
lauu win, ui oncoiucBo ivi buypcxi*. ?i
The church, in my text, is appropriate- C
ly compared to a warden, because it is a a
place of choice flowers, select fruits and tl
of thorough irrigation. fi
That would be a strange garden in ii
which there were no flowers. If nowhere b
else, they will be a long the borders or at fl
the gateway. The homeliest taste will a
dictate somethiug, if it be the oid fash- t
ioned hollyhock or dahlia or daffodil or u
coreopsis, but if there be larger means 1
then you will find the Mexican cactus e:
and dark veined arbutelion and blazing
azalea and clustering oleander. Well, *
now, Christ comes to hisgardeD, and he s:
plants there some of the brightest spirits n
that ever flowered upon the world. Some p
of them are violets, unconsplcuous, but
sweet in beaveD. You have to search c
for such spirits to And them. You do tl
not see them very often perhaps, but you tl
find where they have been by the brigh- s:
tening iace 01 tne mvana, ana tne sprig 11
of geranium on the stand, and the window *
curtains keeping out the glare of the sun- is
light. They are perhaps more like the *
ranunculus, creeping sweetly along amid ti
the thorns and briers of life, giving kiss it
for sting, and many a man who has had n
in his way some great black rock of trou- n
ble has found that they have covered it h
all over with dowering jasmine running t<
in and cut amid the crevices. These a
Christians in Christ's garden are not like b
the sunflower, gaudy in light, but when- d
ever darkness hovers over a scul that \
needs to be comforted there they stand, I
night blooming cereuses. But in Christ's 1<
garden there are plants that may be bet- g
ter compared to the Mexican cactus? ti
thorns without, loveliness within?men t]
with sharp points of character. They t<
wound almost every one that touches
them. They are hard to handle. Men ii
pronounce them nothing but thorns, but ^
Christ loves them, notwithstanding all g
their sharpneses. Many a man has had p
very hard ground to culture, and it has b
only been "through severe toil he has g

Avery harsh minister was talking b
with a very placid elder, and the placid t!
elder said to the harsh minister,4'Doc- tl
tor, 1 do wish you would control your ii
temper." "Ah," said the minister to g
the elder, "I control more temper in five f<
minutes than you do in five years." It p
is harder for some men to do right than s
for others to do right. The grace that o
woulu elevate you to the seventh heaven o
might not keep vour brother from knock a
mg a man down. I had a friend who c
came to me and said, "I dare not join
the church." I said, "Why?" "Ob," p

Yesterday morning I was crossing very p
early at the Jersey City ferry, and I saw h
a milkman pour a large amount of water d

and I kncck him down. Do you think I fi
ought to join the church?" Xeverthe- a

harsh in his behavior, loved Christ and ii
could not speak of sacred things without a
tears of emotion and affection. Thorns ie

There are otners planted in Christ's "
garden who are always ardent, always vi

When they pray, their prayer takes lire, vi
When they preach, it is a Fentecost. fc
When they fight, it is a Thermopyhe, c
When they die, it is a martyrdom. You tl
find a great many rose3 in the gardens, a
but only a few "giants of battle." Men b
eay, "Why don't you have mere of d

don't you haye in the world more Napo (
eons and Humbolelst and Wellingtons?" I
5od gives to some ten talents, to another
me.
In this warden of the church, which
Jhrist has planted, I also tied the snow
irops, beautiful bat cold looking, seem
Dgiv another ph3se ofihe winter. I
nean those Christians who arc precise in
heir tastes, unimpassioned, pure as
snowdrops aud as cold. They never
shed any tears; they never get excited;
he never say anything rashly;
hey never do anything precipitately.
Their pulses never flutter;
,heir nerves never twitch; their Indigna,ic-n
never boils over. They live longer J
ban most people, but iheir life is 111 a
nmorbey. They never ran up to 'T"
ibove the stall. In the music of laeir life
hey have no staccato passages. Christ
)lanted them in the church, and they
nust be of some service, or they would
>ot be there. Snowdrops, always
inowdrops.
But 1 have cot told > on of the most
leautiful flower in all the garden spoken
fin the text. Ii ycu sre a "century
)lant," your emotions are started. You
ay, "Why, this flower has been ahuuired
years gathering up for one bloom,
mdit will be a hundred years moie be- '
ore other petals will come out." But ,
have to tell y^u of a plant that was
[athering up from all eternity, and that
.,900years ago put forth its bloom novel <
o wither. It is the passion flower of i
he cross! 1'ropheis foretold it. Bath- i
ehem shepherds looked on it in the bud 1
be rocks shook at it3 bursting, and the
lead got up in their winding sheets to J
:se its full bloom. It la a crimson flowx?blood
at the rooi3, blood on the ,
iranctes, blood on all ihe leaves. Its
lerfume is to fill all the nations. Its .
ouch is life. Its breath is heaven. '

he east and winds from ihe we3t, and :
*ar to all the earth the sweet emellicg ;
avor of Christ, my Lord.
Eis worth, if all the nations knew,
Sure the whole earth would love litni too.
Again the church may be sppropri,tely
compared to a garden, brcause it ,
i a place of select fruits. That would I
>e a strange garden which had*initno
eme3, no plums, no peaches oraoricots. 1
Che coarser fruits are planted in the or- i
hard or they are set out on the sunny ]
lilleide, but the choicest fruits are kept :
a the garden.
So in the world outside the church
Ihrist has planted a great many beauti- j
al things?patience, charity, generosity, '
utegrity?but he intends "the choicest
:uit3 to be in the garden, and if they are ,
tot there then shame on the church. ,
teliglon is not a mere flowering senti- j
uentality. It is a practical life giving, \
ealtbfal fruit?not posies, but apples. ]
lOh," ssys somebody, k'I don't see
Fhatyour garden of the church has j
ielded." Where did your asylums ;
ome from, acd your hospitals, and your
istitutions of mercy? Christ planted <
very one of them. He planted them I
i his garden. When Christ gave sight I
o Bartimeu3, he laid the cornerstone ot J
very blind asylum that has ever beeu ]
uilt. "When Christ soothed the demo- j
iac ol Galilee, he laid the cornerstone |
f every lunatic asylum that has ever j
een established. When Christ said to j
he sick man, "Take up thy bed and j
ralk," he laid the cornerstone of every i
03pital the world has ever seen. When i
Ihrist said, "I was in prison, and ye 1
isited me," he laid the cornerstone ot :
very prison reform association that has
ver been formed. The church of Christ i
i a glorious garden and it is iuu 01 iruii.
know there is some poor fruit in it. I
now there are some weeds that ought
ohave been thrown over the fence. I
now there are some crab apple trees
bat ought to be cut down. I know
bere are some wild grapes that ought to
e uprooted, but are you going to detroy
the whole1 garden because of a litie
gnarled fruit? You will find worm
atea leaves in Fontainebleau and inects
that sting in the fairy groves of the
lhamps Elyees. You do not tear down
nd destroy the whole garden because
aere are a few specimens of gnarled
uit. I admit there are men and women
1 the church who ought not to be there
ut let us be just as frank and admit the
ict that there are hundreds and thousnds
and tens of thousands of glorious
Ihristian men and women holy, blessed,
seful, consecrated and triumphant,
'here is no grander collection in all the
f?rt.h than the collection of Christians.
There are Christian men in the church 1
rhose religion is not a matter of psalm *

ardan of Christ?love, j Dy, peace, pa- ]
ience, charity, brotherly kindness, gen- J

0 till all the baskets of earth and heaven, j
I have not told you of the better tree (
1 this garden and of the better fruit. It j
ras planted just outside Jerusalem a
ocd while ago. When that tree was j
ianled, it was so split ana bru:3ea ana ;
arked men said nothing would ever 1
row upon it, but no sooner had that <
ree been planted than it
udded and blossomed and fruited, and '
he soldiers' spears were only the clubs 1
hat struck down that fruit, and it fell ?
lto the lap of the nations, and men be- !
an to pick it up and eat it, and they (
)uud it an antidote to all thirst, to all (
oison, to all sin, to all death?the ,
mallest cluster larger than the famous J
ne cf JEschol, which two men carried
n a stall' between them, if the one >
pple in Eden killed i.he race, this one J
luster of mercy shall restore it. <
Again, the church in my text is ap- 1
ropriately called a gardeu because it is J
horougbly irrigated. Xo garden could 1
rosper long without plenty of water. I ]
ave seen a garden in the midst of a 1
eseit, yet blooming and luxuriant. All 1
round w&3 dearth and barrenness, but ,
here were pipes, aqueducts reaching j
:cm this garden up to the mountains, j
nd through these aqueducts the water <
ame streaming down and tossing up ]
lto beautiiul fountains until every rooi
d leaf and flower wa3 saturated. That i
j like the church. The church is a gar- i
eu in the midst of a great desert of sin 1
nd auflerinsr. It is well irrigated, for <
our eves are onto the hills, from j
rhence cometh our help." From the |
iountaia3 ot God's strength there flow ^
own rivers of gladness. There is a (
iver the stream whereof shall make glad ^
he city of cur God. Preaching the g03- j
el is one ot these aqueducts, The Pi- t
le is another. Baptism and the Lord's 1
upper are aqueducts. Water to slake t
he thirst, water to restore the famr, 1
rater to wash the unclean, water tossed 1
igh upffc the light of the sun ot rightousness
showiDg ns the rainbow around
he throne. Oh, was there ever a garden (
o thoroughly irrigated? You know the j
eauty of Versailles and thatsworth j
spends very much on liie great supply <
f water, I came to the latter place J
Chatsworth) one day when strangers <
??^qwajg- -ir - T~iT'-.-ittr-^j^7TU.,>.-.. .... ;.iwi in
are not to be admitted, bat by an in
ducemcDt. which always seemed us applicable
to an Englishman as an American,
I got in, and then the gardener
went far up above the stairs of stone and
turned on the water. I saw it gleaming
on the dry pavement comiDg down
from step to step; until it came so near
I could hear the musical rush, and all
over the high, broad stairs it came I
foaming, flashing, roaring down until:
sunlight and wave in gleesome wrestle !
tumbled at my feet. So it is with the ,
church of God. Everything comes from i
above?pardon from above, joy from
above, adoption from above, sanctifies- J
tion from above. Oh, that now God
would turn on the waters of salvation
that they might flow down through his
heritage*and that this day we might
each find .cur places to be "Elites,"
with 12 wells or water and threescore
and ten palm trees.
Hark, I hear the latch at the garden
gate, and 1 look to see who is coming!
I hear the voice of Christ, "1 am come
into my gardem." I s:tv: "Come in. 0
Jesus: we have been waitiug for thee
Walk all through these paths. Look at
the flowers; look at the fruit. Tluck
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. Not many
more aches for thee. I will never leave
thee. I will never forsake thee. Take
courage a little longer, and i will
stand thy tottering step?, and I will
soothe th> troubles and give thee rest.
Courage, old man." Then Christ goes
up another garden path, and he
comes to a soul in trouble and says:
"Peace; all is well! I have seen thy
tears;! have heerd thy prayer. The
sun shall not smite the by day, nor the
moon by night. The Lord shall
preserve thee from all evil. He
will preserve thy soul. Courage, 0
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'c
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
air. They shall put forth brighter
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 maae.
i notice that the fine gardens sometimes
have high fences arouud them,
and I cannot gel in. It is so with the
king's garden. The only glimpses you
ever get of such a garden is when the
king rides out in his splendid carriage.
Lt 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
ohoose now between a desert and a
garden. Many of you have tried the
garden of this world's delight. You
have found it 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,
Out he could not make his own heart
laugh. While in the midet of his festivities,
he confronted a iooking glass,
and he saw himself and said: "There,
that is true. I look just as I am, done
up in body, mind and purse." So it was
with Shenstone.of whose garden I told
fou at the beginning of my sermon.
He sat down amid those bowers and
said: "I have lost my road to happiness
L am angry ana envious ana iranuc anu ;
lespise 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
aas almost come? You men and women
wno have been waiting year ana
ifter year for some good opportunity
n which to accept Christ, but have
postponed it 5,10, 20,30 years, do you
lot 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
sow to some of your hearts.
Some years ago a vessel struck on the
rocks. They had only one lifeboat. In
:hat lifeboat the passengers and crew
were getting ashore. The vessel had
foundered and was sinking deeper, and
leeper, and that one boat could not
;ake the passengers very swiftly. A
ittle girl stood on the deck, waiting

Jb, how many have gone ashore into

Columbia, S. C., July 5.?The judiciary
committee of the State Farmers'
Alliance, consisting of Norm an Eld er
)f York, Col. I). K. Xorris of Anderson,
:he Kev. J. A. Slight of Newberry
md John (Jadson of Aiken, met in this
city yesterday for the purpose of inresigating
the management of the
State Alliance Exchange by Col D. J'.
Duncan. The investigation was asked
/''a! fVnnnon
IU J uy vwi. L/uu^au
The committee, after a session of
several hours, during which it went
Lhrougn all of the books of the exchange,
made up its report, and will
forward it to the president of the Allimce,
Senator W. D. Evans. The report
will show that Col. Duncan's manigement
of the exchange has been entirely
satisfactory and that r one of the
charges brought against him are true.
For some time the Piedmont lleadight,
the organ of Stanyarne Wilson,
who is opposing Col.Duncan for Congress
in the Fourth district, has been
making all kinds of charges against
the manager of the state Alliance Exchange.
In the issue of June 2 several
columns were devoted to these changes,
md some of them were particularly
leavy.
JJecauss the Alliance Exchange adrertises
its price list in the Cotton
L'lant at a cost of 8480 a year, Gantt
charged that this money had been used
cy Cel. Duncan to buy out the Cotton
Dlant as his organ to be used tor his
political purposes. Gantt also charged
;hat Col. Duncan tried to extort from
;he Ailiancemen a prolit of 81.85. per
:on more for guano than private parses
bought the same goods for. Gantt
\lso charged that Col Duncan had been
jelling sewing machines at 810.75 which
cad been bought bj outside parties
dsewhere for less than 816. and which
Duncan had confessed had cost only
?17. He charged that Duncan had been

machine, and that not a nickel of the
profit had gone into the treasury
)f the exchange. He charged
d30 that Duncan had been
ending out money from the Alliance
reasury and pocketing the interest.
Jantt then made the charge that Dun;an
used his railroad passes, in violaion
of the State law, to travel on business.
He scored him, too, far allowing
;he railroads in this State to charge
ligher rates than are allowed in Georgia.
The rest of the charges were demoted
to Col. Duncan's record as a
[>eformor.

Wasaixgtox, July 3.?The Seriate
met at 10 a. ru., in continuation of yesterday's
legislative session by virtue of
a recess taken last night. That obviated
all delays incident to the formali
ties of the regular cpenmg of a new
day. The tariff bill was taken up at
j once and action on amendments of the
i committee of the whole occupied the
entire day's session.
First came the motion made by Mills
on Monday evening to place burlaps
and grain bags made therefrom on the
free list. It was carried by a vote of
28 to 7. Next came the famous collars
and cuffs amendment, iixing the duty
on these articles at SO cents per dozen
and 30 per cent, advalorem, and on
shirts at 00 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
speeches directed against the junior
Senator from New 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
for the amendment which would be
enough, with the J'opulists' votes to
* * '
carry n. hue tiiese itppecus ien uu
deaf ears. There was not a single desertion
from the Democratic ranks on
the question of wool. The two Popuiist
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 li3t at 40 cents a ton
and coal slack at 15 cents was agreed
.to by a vote of 57 to 0. The six were
Allen, Hill, lrby, Kyle,Mills and Teller.
The committee amendment which
had been originally offered by Hill, exempting
the salaries of the President
of the United States aud 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 Democrats
having voted for it and six
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.
Rarbed wire was a subject of some
dispute. An amendment had been
agreed to in the committee of the
whole that barbed wire for fencing,
should be admitted free of duty. This
amendment was rejected; and one offerred
by Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska to
place wire for fencing on the free list
was aisr? rpippfftd?veas 32: navs 38.
And so wire remains on the dutiable
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 Ransom.
Ransom's amendment prevailed by a
vote of 40 yeas and 28 nays. Some j
amusement was had on the floor by the
personal appeal of Ransom to Senators
to support his amendment. His threeminute
speech in favor of his proposi-1
tion was the only one he has mL.de on
the tariff question and after he had
concluded the Senators gathered about j
him and promised support. After the
vote, Ransom interrupted Morgan for I
the purpose of, he said, "completing !
his amendment," which he proceeded
to do by moving to strike mica from
the free list, where it had been placed
by the committee. This was agreed to
amid much laughter, which was only
increased when Chandler crossed the
aisle, invaded the ranks of political
enemies and grasped Ransom by the
hand and congratulated him upon his
victory for the mica industry.of North
Carolina and New Hampshire.
Morgan offered an amendment to
come in as five additional sections at
the end of the bill, aimed at trusts and
conspiracies in restraint of trade and
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, trust, agreement or contract
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, either
of whom is engaged in importing any
article from any foreign country into
the United States aQd when such combination,
conspiracy,'trust, agreement
or contract is intended to operate in
restraint of lawful trade or free competition
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 engaged in the importation
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 lined in a sum not less than $100 and
not exceeding $5,000 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 yesterday, but which he did not
at any time today offer in the Senate.
Jones asked Allen 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 Holph that the Senate should either
dispose of the bill quickly or let it go
over till Thursday. lie should hate to
see the national day desecrated by the
passage of such " a bill. "Nothing
could be so painful to me," Harris remarked
satirically, "as to give the
slightest pain to the Senator from Oregon.
Rut I think that the bill should
be disposed of before the Senate adjourns?and
1 hope that every Senator
will stay here until it is disposed of."
These amendments were agreed to:
Increasing the duty on liies (paragraph
141) from 30cent3 per dozen to 35 cents;
making he duty on type metal (paragraph
171) *4 cent per pound on the
lead contained therein, and 15 per cent,
on new type; reducing the duty on
cleaned rice (paragraph 103) from 1
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* conn*
ty, municipal and town taxes paid by
incorporations snail ue inciuaea m
their operating and business expenses.
At 10 p. m., there vus an immense
j concourse of spectators in the galleries,
most of them ladies, and all wavi
ing fans industriously, for the atmos|
phere 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 la taking
the yeas and nays. There was much
excitement as to the result of the linal
! vote and a rumor prevailed that the
w
blli would be beateu. The chairman of
the House committee on ways and
means?Mr. Wilson?and Representative
McMillln 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 (Dem.)
of New Jersey rose 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.
Jlili declared his continued antagonism
to the bill as a rag-bag production,
a crazy quilt combination, a
splendid nothing. The close of his
speech was applauded. The calling ot
the roll on the linal passage of the
tariff bill began at 10:25 and the vote
resulted: Yeas 30; nays 34. CaiTery
voted no, and after the vote had
been completed, made a brief explanation
as to why he had done so,
and then changed his vote to one in
favor of the bill.
Irby voted for the bill, and 131 an chard,
who was denied the privilege of ex
plaining ms voce, on an oujeuuun,
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:
Yeas?Allen, Date, Kerry, Llackburn,
Dlanchard, Calfery, Call, Cockrell,
Coke. Daniel, Faulkner, George, Gibson,
Gorman, Gray, Harris, Ilunton,
Irby, Jarvis, Jones of Arkansas, Kyle,
Lindsay, McLaurin, Martin, Mills, Mitchell
of Wisconsin, Morgan, Murphy,
Palmer, Pasco, Ransom, Roach, Smith,
Turpie. Vest, Vilas, Voorhees, Walsh,
White?39.

Chandler, Cullom, Davis, DixsoD,
Dolph, Dubois, Frye, Gallinger, Hale,
Ilansbrough, Hawley, Higgins, Hill,
Jones of Nevada, Lodge, McMillin,
Manderson, Mitchell of Oregon, Fatton,
Peffer, Perkins, Piatt, Power Proctor,
Q-uay, Sherman, Shoup, Squire, Stewart,
Teller and Washburn?34.
The Vice president appointed the
following managers on the part of the
Senate as conferees: Voohees, Harris,
Vest, Jone3, Sherman, Allison 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 wa3 called.
Irby, it was claimed, had promised
to vote against the bill, but when his
name was called, he responded in the
allirmative, and all hope of defeating
the bill vanished.
Caffery, then after a brief explanation
and a protest agaiast the way his
people had been treated, changed his
vote to one in favor of the bill, and
Blancnard voted in the same way.
Had Irby stood by the combination, the
two Louisana Senators would hove remained
firm and the vote would have
been 37 to 30 against the bill.

A Flacky Woman.

tramps waylaid Miss Lizzie 1'dinter, of
Hopewell, and as a result one of them
got a pistol bullet in his arm. Miss
fainter Is a music teacher, and was
driving from one of her scholar's homes
to Hopewell. In a lonely part of the
road a man, evidently a tramp, jumped
out from the undergrowth at the roadside
and told her to "crawl down out of
that wagon." For an answer Miss
fainter raised her revolver and fired,
and with a cry of pain the man dropped
hia hnld nn Mip horSR with ,1 bullet in
his wrist. Just at this moment
another man ran out to catcu cue nurse,
and tbe yonng lady iired 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
of the Journal having been dispensed <
with, the House joint resolution extend- j
ing for thirty days the appropriations
! for the support of the Government wa3
taken up, and in the absence of Mr. 1
Hoar, who had interposed objections on 1
WeJne3day and Thursday, was referred I
to the committee, on appropriations and 1
witnnut a moment's ueiay was reported \
back by Senator Cockrell, chairman of
the committee, read without any objectioix
passed.
A resolution ollered ycaterda? by Sinator
Sherman, directing the Inquiry into
the charges for the use ot seals, berths
and sections in the l'ullman sleeping and
parlor cars, was laid before the Son ale
and agreed ?,o.
The House bill to define and establish
the units of electrical measure wa3 taken
rom the Callendar and paseed with
some verbal amendments.
At 10.30 the tariff bill wa3 taken up,
the question being on Section 104,
abrogating the reciprocity treaties.
Senator Ilaie moved to strike out the
section, but yielded to Senator Vest to
j modify it on the part of the finance com- [
inittee, which he did by inserting a pro- '
viso that nothing contained in the section
should be held to abrogate such reciprocity
or commercial arrangements between ,
the United Slates and foreign countries, ,
except 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 offer an amendment to Section
94. which would allow alcohol used in
the arts and manufactures to be tree
from tax, under rules to be prescribed
by the Secretary of the Treasury and
under a promise that if found to be impracticable
he would afterwards vote
.? ' i " i ^ - - * - r - - i :x. m t
wnn me ommuiee 10 reject, u. xue
amendment was agreed to with the consent
of the finance committee.
The discussion a3 to the abrogation
oi the reciprocity arrangement was resumed
and wa3 participated in by Senators
Allison and Sherman in opposition
to the section, and by Senator Vest in
defence and explanation of it. One of
the points made by him was that the
absolute repeal ef Section 3 of the McKiEley
Act was to take away from the
President in the luture all the authority
which he possessed under that section.
Senator Higgins: "Is it the Senator's
proposition mat in the future ihe power
to make reciprocal conventions will be
lefc to the treaty-making power?the
President and Senate?and taken from
the President alone?"
Senator Vest: "That is the object?"
Senator Yets's modification was
agreed to without division.
Senator Hale moved to strike cut the
whole section, and the motion wa3 rejected?yeas
24, nays 34.
Section 104 now repeals the 3d section
of the McKinley Act, and provides that
"nothing herein contained shall be held
to abrogate or in anyway affect such reciprocal
commercial arragenmeots as
have been hertofore made and now exist
between the United States and foreign
countries, except where such arrangements
are inconsistent with the povisions
of this Act."
A communication from the Secre'ary
of State, informing the Senate, at the request
of the French ambassador, that a
religious seryice in memory of the late
President of the French Republic would '
be held at St. Matthew's Church, Washington,
next Sunday at 12 M , was laid
before the Seuate, 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 Teller moved '
to insert an additional section levying a 1
duty of fifty dollars on every foreigner 1
coming by steam or pail vessel to any <
port within the United States and on <
every alien immigrant crossing the
border line between the II nited States '
and contiguous nations.
Senator Piatt suggested the insertion I
of the words "to engage in auy indus- '
trial occupation," and Senator Teller i
accepted the suggestion, saying that the '
idea was exactly right and in accord- '
ance with his own idea. !
Senator Harris arose to move to lay <
Senator Teller's amendment on the table,
but instead he moved to lay the <
Senator from Kansas on the table.
Senator Teller gazed over at Senator <
Harris with an air of mingled woonder <
aud reproach, and the galleries broke 1
out into laughter, II which the Senators <
joined. The Vice Tresident, however, <
put the question in the correct form and i
the motion to lay Senator Tetter's 1
amendment on the table was carried, t
yeas 4G, nays 12. The negative votes
were given by Senators Gallinger. Il!ggins,
Iloar. Mitchell, of Oregon, i'atton,
Teller, Tekins, Tettigiew, Tiatt. l'roctor
Shoupaud Squire.
The last section of the bill, repealing
all the laws and parts of laws inconsistent
with it, wa3 then agreed to, thus
finishing the bill in committee of the
whole, except as to matters that had
been reserved. .
Senator Allison moved to amend Section
82, one of the whiskey sections, by
reducing the bonded period from eight
years to four year3. llrected?yeas 23,
nays 3G.
A large number of amendments were
offered by Senator Jones, Democrat, of
Arkansas, on behalf of the finance committee,
many of them merely formal,
and none of them important enough to
meet any opposition. All were agreed
to.
All the committee amendments having
been disposed of Senator Iloar appealed
to the Gnance committee to ad- <
mit a paragraph putting a duty of 10 j
per cent ad valorem on 3ea moss or Ice- 1
laud moss. lie asked it in the interest i
or a few meritorious and hard working J
men on the coast cf Massachusetts. J
Senator Harris joined in the appeal, (
cud Senator Jones, on behalf of the fi- '
nance committee, said that he could not ]
resist the united appeal. The paragraph
was therefore inserted. }
Many other amendments were suggest- .
ed by various Senators, but they w nt ,
over to bo offered iu the Senate. The
bill was then reported from the com- j
mittee of the whole to the Senate, and j
it wa3 ordered that the Dill and amend- i
ments be printed.
A suggestion baviDg been made of an 1
adjournment till Monday in order to J
give time for the printing ol the bill and '
amendments, iScnator Harris protested
against the delay, stating that the ccun- :
try was waiting anxiously to know what
was going to be done with the tariff bill. <
lie would not consent to its goiug over .
a single day or a single hour. * <

The Crop Report?
Columbia, S. C., June 4 ? The following
is the crop report for the past
week:
The weather and crop conditions ;
have changed materially and for the ?
better during the past week. The tem- ]
perature ranged nearly normal, being i
slightly below on the immediate coast, 1
and slightly in the excess in the intertor.
Friday, .June 29th, was very hot '
with temperature between % and ICO ,
over the entire State, except on the
immediate coast. The excessive heat i
was general over tne entire cotton re- !
gion of the United States, the average '
maximum of 132 stations being bT de*
?rees on that date. The sunshine was
below the usual amount, averaging be- i
tween 60 and TO for the whole State,the i
ieficiency having a tendency to injure
cotton. The raiafali was wide- 1
spread, quite general, and in places ex- j
cessiye. Drought conditions have been ,
narrowed down to portions of Claren- ]
Jon, Fairfield, Orangeburg, Florence '
and Williamsburg counties.
Overilows of creeks and washing I
rains destructive' to crops occurred in <
Fdgelield, Anderson, Abbeville, and i
Oconee counties. Destructive wind- ;
storms occurred in JJarnwell, Laurens,
Newberry, Lancaster and Fairfield
counties. Destructive hailstorms occurred
in Darn well, Laurens, Newberry,
Lancaster and Fairfield counties.
Destructive windstorms in Dickens,
Greenville, Edgefield, Laurens, Union,
and Anderson counties; the storm of
the 29 th being especially severe in
Greenville and L'ickens.
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.
I.atft nlantincr verv erood on bottom
lands, beginning to be gras3y where
not too wet to work.
Cotton growing rapidly and fruiting
well, except in a few localities where
it is going to weed; needs more sunshine,
beginning to get grassy where
too wet to work. Rice improved during
the week and doing fairly well, but
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
scarce. Planting of sweet potato 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 encouraging 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:

Fatal Da?h tor Liberty.
Columbia, S. C., July 3.?The love
of liberty was strongly illustrated yesterday
afternoon when a youDg white
conyict made a mad dash lor liberty and
met his death Irom a bullet which passed
through his body. The young fellow
" as only twenty-three years of age and
had but a few months more of his sentence
to serve.
It seems that the poor fellow was the
victim ol a plot which he with many
others had formed to escape and which
he was the only one to attempt to carry
rut. The story of the young prisoner's
death is about as follows:
The prisoner, James Hill, who was
sent up from EigeGeld county on the
loth of March last, under a sentence of
twelve months for larceny of live stock,
was one of a squad of twelye convicts,
mo3t of whom were white and among
whom was Edwards, the young lawyer
sent up from Sumter county, to goto the
State farm, about two mile3 above the
:ity, to load some wagons hauling pine
straw. The squad was in charge of
[iuards Lafar and F. Hardy. They were
walking alODg the rrlroal track about
i mile above the c.tj n- ar the old rock
quarry, just where there is a dense
thicket on each side of ihe road. Without
the slightest warning Hill suddenly
threw down his rake and dashed off down
i little by-path into the thicket. The
>uard Gred at him a3 he dashed into the
thicket, but missed him. Guard Hardy
LheD went cfl at some 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 thickef, 100 yards away and the
,mard 11 red at him. He fell and expired
n a few miuutcs. The ball entered his
oack just above the hip, near the spinal
oolumn, and passed through the body.
Uoronor Roach wa3 notiGed and held an
.cquest yesterday evening, the jury ren
Jering a verdict tnat 11111 was Kinea uy
Guard Hardy in the discharge of his
}uty. The penitentiary authorities
think that there wa3 a plot among all
the white men in the squad to escape,
and that Hill made the break before the
others realized what he was about. Edwards
and one or two others stated to
the authorities alt^r the killing that Hill ;
dad told them that he iLueoded to make ]
the attempt when sent out yesterday at'ernoon.?State.
Courteous Replies,
Columbia, S. C., July 5Capt. John
Gr. Capers was asked today by a Journal
reporter as to what further replies
be liad received from county chairmen
in reference to General Butler's request
for separate boxes and whether Chairman
Xettle's reply was a fair sample
of the replies. He said the reply received
from him wa3 by no means a fair
indication of the teuor of tne replies.
Jd thecontary, they were in marked
contrast. He had received replies from
many counties and from many men re
? ~ ~ f U/v 7>/if AfAs foofinn ori/J f heir
ijreaeuuuj^ mc xiciuiuu la^^uu ?uu mw
ivere courteous and conciliatory.
For instance a chairman of a Piedmont
County who is an ardent Tillman.te
and oflice holder under the present
idmiaistratiorj writes:
Your communication of the 20 th to
rand. I will take great pleasure in prejenting
your request to our exercutive
committee when it meets on the 21st
nstant. 1 think your request perfectly
[air and will use my iniluence to have
n granted.
This comes very much nearer beiDg a
?ampieof replies from Referm chair
men. There seems to he a spirit ot conservatism
without regard to party fac;ion
which is not only encouraging for
Senator Butler, but for the peace and
2rder of the State.

Atlanta, July 5.?A special from
renuille, Ga., says: Honorable W. Y.
ALkinson spoke here at 2 o'clock to
1,000 people. All the business houses
were closed :n Sanderyille and Tennille,
Three or four huudie J Populists were
pre>ent. Colonel T. W. Hardwi^k, a
prominent attorney of this place, introduced
Mr. Atkinson. In closing the in Iroduction
he said it give him great
pleasure to introduce to the citizens of
Washington county one who had been
the means of leading the Democratic
party to such an overwhelming majority
in 1892, and who would lead to a still "
greater victory lu 1894. Mr. AtkinsoD
was interrupted two or three times by
two third partyitcs?Fate Brantley and
Bill Glenn. Fate Brantley interrupted
by 3aying that the Democrats bought
the negro vote. Mr. Atkinson said the
aegro hak learned sense. He knew the
T)enicc -at? had maaev and Democrats
paid the negro's schooling. Bill Glenn
3aid jthe negroes in Washington would
yote for IIinc3. Mr. Atkinson had jagt,
3tarted to reply, saying: "This gentle- j
mar. javs the negro will vote for limes,"
when Bill Glenn called Me. Atkinson a
liar. There came near being a fight,
but Mr. Atkinson and others soon
quieted the crowd, and the balance of
Lhe speech was listened to with close
attention.
Musical Homes are Happy Homes .
Have you ever noticed it? Call to
mind the homes of your friends who
have a good Piano or Organ in the
house. Are they not brighter and
more attractive than those where the
divine art of music never enters? To
be sure it costs to buy a good instru- ,
meat, but it lasts many years, and will
pay its co3ts many a thousand times
over by Interesting the young folks in
their homes. Don't make the mistake,
though, of investing haphazard. Post
