The report han Wen current at the capital that after the general dis. ciission on the bill lias closed, its consideration by sections, and tiuitl action upon it will lx allowed to go over until after the democratic nn tioual convention at St. Louis. Ilie purpose of this, it is Mii.l, would m to get ft declaration on the subject from the convention, which will bind every member nf the party in congress to vote for the bill, ami thus secure its passage. Still, no one knows what will be done about the matter nt this time, nu.l it i hazardous to venture a prediction.

He said lie could not iituterntand how any ltih Amei icau could stand here as the closest ami most earnest ally of Kngland, who was uttempt iug to do to this country wh:rt the had doue to the Irish across the seas. He created a good deal of laughter by reading an extract from the London Times, declaria the only ' time England has any use for au Irish man is when he emigrates to Amer ica and votes for free trade, which he iuvaribly es. The senate has been slowly doing nothing this w eek, or rather nothing of importance.

This led to a long discussion. Iut this remiss j body has made a number of special orders tor next week. For instance, three bills for tho admission of Washington.

Is the Protect! e Sjstf.j a Correct One f (By an e -Con federate In Texas.) I- rom a manuscript with the above title, which has been submitted to ua, and from which we make ft few significant extracts, it will be seen that Mr. Edwards, of Knois, Texas, is not tbe only ex-confederate who is not of the same rniud as his fellow-citizen Chairman Mills. These extracts show the drift of the writer's argument. The tariff is a question of more importance than slavery, which quarter of a century ago the country was called upon to settle by war. Shall lbs United States discon tinue the tariff', or modify it so that we shall have tariff for revenue only? If the purpose is to reduce the as. V " -'JO'tUii be a false step. One of two con clusions is inevitable; either make protection absolute, or declare free trade. There can bo no half way. In the United States we have an undeveloped country , with avenues for investment of more capital than wo have to spire, and are constantly borrowing from other nations. Oar capitalists will not lend at two or three per cent., because f hey can use their money to Itetter advantage. The workiugiuan is not forced to accept pauper rate of wages, be cause h ran do better by farming. Hut is it expedient for the United States to abandon manufacture and rely upon her farming for support? Is this going to make a prosperous country? It inav do well for New York mid lSouton, but how would it affect the South, where money is worth ten to twelve per cent, per annum? Will it, not necessarily stop nil development aud drive into bankruptcy all who have already engaged in the opening of our in- jdtisttial resources? J The writer concludes with an 'appeal to congress: "You must not lose sigiii oi me i.ici mat li lias taken many years of thought and care to improve our sluep up to their present condition. It has cost enormously to purchase the pure-blooil rams that were necessary to use in gtaditig up the common Mexican coarse-wool sheep to fine merinos. All these years of labor, care und expense have been under gone by a worthy class of citizens who have invested their all in sheep. The welfare of themselves and fami lies depend on the issue of the tariff question. Are you not bound to consider whether you have a right to destroy this great in dust iv?" A w Oeparture. The Klamath county (Oregon) Star is a newspaper run for revenue only. Atthe head of its editorial columns it flies loth the pemocratic and Republican tickets. It has sold two parallel columns on its first page for the campaign one to the republican county central committeo and the other to I he. democratic county committee. One is headed in bold black letters Republican Column," and the other is bended Democratic Column," in exactly the same kind of tjpe. At tbe top of each column the editor candidly announces that he has sold the space below or the campaign, and is not responsible for anything np -pearing therein. While the two opposing columns conduct a wordy and acrid warfare, the editor sits at the receipt of customs, ami lakes the pelf of Istth parties with equa nimity ami it clejr conscience. This feature of journalism is unique, but it has its merits. The readers have a fair opportunity of rending hide by side what the opposing parties have to say, aud can form a pretty fair idea of what is sense and what is nonsense. They also understand that what they read is purely part- izau and honestly paid for; there is no deception, and everybody should bo happy. With the subscribers it is dimply "You pays your money and you takes your choice." The editor, lw ing a newspaper man, is supposed to have no principles; ho takes the money and makes no choice. Hi method, however, is au effective squelcher of the campaign liar. That nimble rascal can't crawl off the farm without being nailed. While the Irish are sending from onu hundred to two hundred thousand dollar yearly to the poj, he sends them in re turn. This is tho language of Mc (Jlvnu. and he further says: Is it not strange that while money is being col lected in New South Walt and other pkicc for Ireland, she sends this much to the pot? The Methodist conference iu New York recently decided that la Jy delegates sllouiu noi io auiuiiu-u 10 mat oouy. Such vote was curried by oue majority hta Istics of Hool. SacrHinetito Record-Union. A correspondent having asked the Rural Yermonter certain questions of interest to wool growers, it made statements which brought the Springfield Republican to it feet with tho question why it was that with a high wool tariff New England had lost over COO.OOO, or one-third of the sheep it had before tbe tariff went into effect. The response of the Vermonter is of interest to Cali fornia wool growers, in considering the question of wool on the free list. The Veruionter quotes first the allegation of the Republicaa that "with the exception of a few southwestern ranchmen woolgrow ing with us is a mere incident of farming." The Vermonter then proceeds to show, from official and 1800 a low wool tariff prevailed, and the increase of sheep in the United States was per cent. Uut between 18(50 and 1870 a protective tariff prevailed, and the increase of sheep was 27 per cent., while be tween 1870 and 1SH0 the increase was about f 1 per cent, The increase continued up to 18811, of both sheep and wool product, when a reduction of ten per cent, on tho tariff on clothing uml combing wools was ordered. Immediately there was not great change, the wool aud sheep industry indeed gained a little during 11. but from the latter date up to 1SK7 there was a sready decline, until it itmouted to a falling off of f. 1100,000 sheep. Had tho protective policy as to wool prevail ed, the ratio of increase in tho pre ceding years, justifies the conclusion that instead of a decline in 1887, there won hi have been rt gain of ti.OOO.OOO sheep. Tho importation of wool bad risen from 78,000,000 pounds in 188, to 114,000,000 in 1887, when, according to the latio of protection years, it should have sunk to 40,000,000 pounds. It is scare ly necessary to support the Ytrmontet's case by giving the reasons for these fluctuations. They must bo apparent to all intel ligent readers. When tho wool industry was protected, aheep raising was engaged in in order to grow wool, not mutton. When the protection was withdrawn, shecp raisiug dediusJ to just about ilia level of mutton furnishing. A Hoy llreaks Info Store at Wash, on Krai ami Takes Money and Stamps.

At present the youth's whereabouts is not known; but the following w ill show that he is natu -rally a criminal: Last summer be stole a horse and rode it off to Van couver, where he made an unsuc cessful effort to Hell it, but before he could consummate his purpose be was arrested and taken back to Washougal. Ho was placed in jail, but broke out and got away. How ever, he soon returned, but was not prosecuted. If taken this time, though, which is highly probable. it will go pretty hard"wlth liTH!
