NATION'S
CAPITA
Washington Despite protest by
Beveridge and Hoot, the duty on
barley was Increased from 25 cents a
bushel, as proposed by the house,
to 30 cents, as recommended by the
committee on finance.
The tax on hops was advanced.
The house made a duty of 12 cents,
while the committee on finance had
formerly advanced It to 16 cents.
The committee brought in an ad
ditional amendment, making the
rate 20 cents. This action by the
senate Is largely due to the efforts
of Herman Klaber, of Portland, Or.,
and E. C. Horst, of San Francisco,
who appeared before the senate com
mittee last November on behalf of
the hopgrowers of the United States.
The duty on potatoes was made
45 cents per bushel. Instead of 25
cents, and oysters in the shell were
advanced from 3-4 of a cent a pound
to 25 per cent. The Increase In the
rate on oysters was made on motion
of Senator Piles, of Washington,
' who has an industry in bivalves to
protect against Canadian competi
tion. Eels or smelt, fresh or frozen,
are taxed 1 cent per pound.
That there should be a duty of
20 per cent on raw cotton merely
for revenue was advocated by Bacon.
Root spoke for the New York
lemon consumers. Insisting that the
rate of 1 cents per pound, as fixed
by the finance committee, was too
high. Flint, speaking for the lemon
growers, supported the advance and
said the lemon industry of California
would be wiped out If this duty
were not levied.
Memorial day was observed Mon
day throughout the northern states
and three days later a similar holi
day was kept by the south in com
memoration of the birthday of Jef
ferson Davis. Both days were mark
ed as usual by the dedication of
numerous war and other memorials.
Probably the most notable of these
vents was the dedication of a mon
ument on the Gettysburg battlefield
in memory of the "regulars" who
fought and fell there. President
Taft delivered the oration and the
memorial was unveiled by Miss
Helen Taft. Another Interesting
vent of similar character was the
unveiling of the Lincoln monument
at Hodgenville, Ky.
It is reported that President Taft
intends calling for the resignation
of Judge Silas H. Reld, at Valdei
Alaska, because of charges that
have been preferred against him.
Delegate Wlckersham is known to bo
active In urging Judge Reid's remov
al, particularly because Reld ap
pointed his brother receiver of the
Alaska Central railroad at a salary
of 1750 a month. This, it Is
charged, was pure extortion.
President Taft has been informed
that the English grand lodge of Ma
sons has granted a dispensation for
the organization of a blue lodge of
Masons at London, Eng., to be com
posed entirely of Americans. This
dispensation was granted by the
Duke of Connaugbt. grand master
of the grand lodge of England. Taft
will be made the first honorary
member of the lodge.

ern Eldorado, August 10, 1896.

ment had lived up to Its motto of
"the show that will be on time."
Not only were the buildings com
pleted and the grounds covered with
grass and flowers, as though they
had been planted for years, but ex
hibits were In their place.
