THE reconciliation between Prince fetemarck and the Emperor has set the fatherland wild with enthusiasm. Fri- the Prince journeyed from Fried- ricbsruhe to Perlin at the Emperor's invitation. The route from the mr.nu- " j|pent to Frederick the Great to the *i*alace gates was lined with members Of the veterans' guilds, firemen, rifle tihions, and turners' societies. Most *' of the houses along the route were decorated with fiags. The entire population of Berlin, swelled by thou­ sands of people from all parts of Germany, had apparently turned, out 'Jtb welcome the return ot the Prince, and the younger element in the tsarowds cheered themselves hoarse as the f-tate coach passed along. Dr. Schweininger rode in a cab at the rear .*ijf the procession. When the party ar­ rived at the castle Prince Bismarck •fed Prince Henry descended from the state coach and entered. The Empe­ ror, who was standing at the foot of the stairs to receive his guest, wore as a special mark of honor the uniform of $ie Bisrrarck Cuirassiers. His recep­ tion of the old statesman was of the firmest and most cordial naltire. His ; Majesty embraced the Prince with the «tmost heartiness, and a kiss pres-ed en the old man's cheek sealed the rec­ onciliation between the Emperor and The Fisk mine at Central City, Col., tbe great361 of his subjects.

To^re had been no in­ timation "of such an action cn the part of Mr. Talnr.a^e, and those in the congregation who heard his words were amazed. It is suggested that Dr. Talmege intends to resign because he is opposed to the Board of Trustees, who are anxious to charge an admittance fee of 10 cants to all visitors who attend the church.

As the first move, soon after the tariff question is disposed of in the House, resolutions will be intro­ duced by Mr. McGann, Chairman of the.Ccmmitteeon Labor, directing that committee to make an investigation into the conduct of Judge Jenkins. The action after that wili depend upon the developments during the investi­ gation. If the committee discovers on investigation that the state of the case is as represented, and it is be­ lieved that there will be no controversy over that fact, they will report articles of impeachment to the House.

It started up in Montana, moved down, across Kansas into Northern Texas, and back up through Arkansas, Missouri, and Iowa, going off into Canada around the north end of the lakes. The cold wave seemed to be running in streaks. At Conc3t-dia,Kas., the thermometer registered 6 deg. be­ low zero, and at Little Rock, Ark., 54 d^g. above. At DesMoines, la., it was 10 deg. below, and at Davenport 4 deg. above. A vast amount of snow fell and drifted. It was disagreeable and dam­ aging.

In Its v ractical walking* it ac­ complished both the^b resulta^The decline in the public revenues Is not attributable to any defect in the act of 1890, but rather to the general derangement and prostra­ tion of business throughout the country. The ascendency of a political» party pledged to the destruction of our protect­ ive policy has not only crippled and sus­ pended the operation of our domestic manufacturers, but the importer of for­ eign fabrics naturally curtails his im­ portations in the hope of secur^ lng their admission into • our markets upon the most favorable conditions. 1 confidently assert thar, if the election of 189a had resulted In the retention of the Republican party in power, accompanied as It would have been with the assurance of a continuance of tho American policy of. protection, the effect upon the public reve­ nue, (ii re!l as tho general prosperity the country, 7.ouid Lava teen entirely the reverse of what Is now s:en," Mr. Ltlack (Dem.) of Illinois referred to Mr. Burrows' picture of dire disaster In this country and said the suffering depicted by him existed after thirty years of laws vrltten by tils own party. Not a law has been placed on the statute books by the Democratic party since 1860. The Demo­ cratic party's responsibility for the laws came only with this Congresa "Befire we took charge," said be. "the present condi­ tion of affairs had begun, if that condi­ tion is due to existing law you cannot say we did it. So far as the law is responsible for the present conditions it is the law of the high protective tariff." Mr. Hopkins (Repk, III.) said that the bill that had been reinvted by the Ways and Means Committee was certaluiy an anom­ aly of Congressional legislation. It neither comes up to the standard of the bold and defiant declarations of their party plat­ form nor meets tbe expectations ot the more conservative element of their party. As a revenue measure it Is a confessed failure. Mr. Johnson (Dem.. Ohio) denounced the attitude of his. party In tbe prolonged delay of action upon the tariff question after coming into power. If Mr. Cleve­ land had shtiwn the sagacity and courage the situation demanded, the Ink would not pave been dry on the commissions of his secretaries ere (.ongress would have been icalled into executive session to relieve the (country of its burdens of taxation. After much delay, however, the committee had given a Democratic report and a Republi­ can bill. He would vote for tbe bill if he could get nothing better, but ^e did not like it. Mr. Johnson said that the MIL if enacted into a law, would Injure but one trust, the sugar trust- Mr. Cockran (Dem,, N. Y.) said the ob­ jection that the bill would not afford suf­ ficient revenue is one born of absolute ig­ norance of the laws of revenue reductiona A low tariff will not only increase the rev­ enues of the government, he said, but it will Increase the opportunities of American labor. For every dollar that goes into the treasury, hundreds of dollars are collected by the processes of consumption and trade throughout tbe country; so that the amount contributed for the support of tbe government is but a feature, a mite of this system af taxation, the real extent of which no man c^n telL Mr. Reed (Rep,, Ma) undertook to re­ fute Mr. Cockran's statements. He said the Democrats would sacrifice their market at home for a more extended one abroad, while the Republicans beileved in enlarg­ ing the market in a different direction. They did not mean to go to the ends of the earth and struggte with the cheaper labor of the old world. What they meant to do wa? to elevate tbe tbarket of this country by giving higher wages to labor and there­ by constituting ;i market as broad as American production. • Mr. Rrecklnrldge (Dem., Ky.) said that lnsome particulars the Wilson bill did not meet his approval, la that it did not go far enough. He would like to have seen tin- plate put on the free list even if a heavier tax would have to be levied on whisky. He would like to see the bounty on sugp.r removed, but he wanted the sugar men of the South and the sorghum men of the northeast placated, in order that they might be brought- into the Democratic fold, for it was-only by union that the reform could be consummated. He favored the ad valorem feature of the pending bilL While it did not-meet with his unqualified approval be was ready to vote with his party on the experiment of an income tax. Mr. Dingley (lieu. Me.), said instead of being a measure, as termed, to provide revenue, it was in fact a bill to abolish revenue. He argued .in favor of protect­ ive duties, and said protection-simply says to the foreign manufacturer: "Yoir must pay our Government as a duiy the differ­ ence between our wages and your wanes in the production or manufacture and dis­ tribution of any article which'you have withheld from your labor and which we have paid ours." He said the Democratic majority was. deaf to tho protest of the people in the recent elections, Mr. Dalzell (Rep.,*Pa.) said that In the few months that tbe dominant party has held the reins of government it has proved itself conspicuously incompetent to deal with a single important question presented by the responsibilities of civil administra­ tion. In this deplorable condition of things, clouds and darkness all around us, what do those who rule our destinies pro­ pose by way of relief? A tariff bill that, if enacted, I predict po-tterity will pr nounce the most infamous legislative crime of our history. Instead of relief It brings aggra­ vation. Mr. Warner (Dem., N. Y..) spoke in de­ fense of the bill. While he urged Its prompt passage, he said it bad grave de­ fects. For one thing it did not go far enough. He thought in some places it bore unevenly, and he protested particularly against the retention of the sugar bounty, and ho protested still more strongly against the tax of one-quarter of a cent a pound by which it was proposed to protect the sugar trust. And be protested against the reciprocity which was now proposed to be revived for the benefit of the Stand­ ard Oil Company. He urged the passage of the bill, not as a compromise but. as an at­ tack upon the outnorks of protection. Mr. Everett (Dem., Mass.) said be was going to vote for thl9 bill because he had believed for years that such a measure as this was demanded by patriotic considera­ tions. He thought, however, that tbe Wilson bill did not gof»r enough. Mr. Payne (Rep., N. Y.) said the pending bill was a sectional measure in that It- ex­ tended protection to southern while cut­ ting tbe duties on northern agricultural products. Mr. Simpson (Pop., Kan.) intended to vote for the bill, but there were many pro visions In it that did not meet with his ap­ proval; inasmuch, however, HS It was a robber tariff at least 20 percent lower than tbe McKinley bill, he should have to support it Tbe cause of tbe existing troubles he found in tne intolerable bur­ den put on the agricultural classes by the system of lndlrec| taxation. He lilustrat- /ed his remarks on this deplorable condition of the agricultural classes by displaying a dilapidated overcoat which he got from a farmer. He said he could duplicate It on the backs of a million farmers in the Unit­ ed States to-day. He said the People's party stands pledged to the principles of free trada Mr. Hopkins (Rep., TIL) criticised state­ ments made by Mr. Simpson in speaking of the farmers. Mr. Pickler (Rep. P.

The oppor­ tunity to work created tbe wage fund on which tbv prosperity of our people de­ pended. i jflr- Ifarter (Dem., Oblu) said that a pro­ tective tariff put donn wages and lowered i their parcbasing power by putting op tb» price of goods. Mr. Turner (Dem.. Ga.) undertook the refutation of tbe charge that tbe Wilson bill was framed in the interests of Southern as against Northern farmers, and said be believed In free trade. Mr. Grosvenor (Rqp, Ohio) argued in fa­ vor of the Wilson bill. He said tbe inevit­ able and necessary consequence of the bill wiii be tbe ruin of the remaining In­ dustries of the country. It will reduce the value of sheen $30,000,000, close up in­ numerable factories, and workshops, and greatly lessen and practically destroy the demand for the tnormoua output of coal now and heretofore being mined and mar­ keted for manufacturing purposea. Mr. B< en (Pop.. Minn,) vigorously Op­ posed the prov sions of the bill. Mr., Henderson (Hep., 111.) spoke against the bill, and was igilowe.l by Mr. Weadock (Dem., Mich.) !n favor of the bill. Mr. Clark (Dem.. Mo.) amused the House for a time. He was strongly in favor of the measure Mr. Shaw (Rep. Wis.) opposed tbe bill, -I'/d It- w«? neither flsh, flesh, nor fov.l Mr. Dal.0.1 (Koo.. Pa.) charged Mr. JohuKC.n, of Ohio, with manufacturing cer­ tain kinds of street railway rails, behind the protection of Iu2 patents, and for that reason was willing to have railway r&l's go on the ; free list He denounced Mr. Johnsou's attack on Carno^le, and said that CHrnegle, tho true philanthropist, is tiivin^ $5,000 a day for the relief of the poor In I'ltibbJrg. while the false philan­ thropist from Cleveland takes advantage of the winter's blast to dicker about tho wages of his employes. Mr. John9on re- piled to Dalzell In a semi-humorous tone. He said that Dalzell had made a personal attack on him. and oven confessing that all be says Is true that offers no reason why rails should not go on tbe free list Mr. Bland (Dem.. Ma) declared that free rails would ennble many roads to re­ pair their roads and take many out of the hands of receiver* The Johnson amend­ ment to put steel rails on the free list, was lost. ' Mr. Bell (Pop, f ol.) spoke In favor of the bill, although it did not go iar enough to suit him. Mr. Shaw (Rep., Wis.) op- posea It, especially the proposed reduction of duties on barley. Mr, Morgan •(Dem., Mo.) while he Indorsed ihe provisions of the bill, generally condemned in strong terms the proposition to place lead ore on the free list. In the consideration of the sugar sched­ ule Mr* Dingley Of Maine and Mr. Mercer of Nebraska supported the present bounty and Mr. Tarsney of Missouri defended the bounty provision of the Wilson bilL Mr. Washington (Detit.Tenn.) urged a 1-cent tax fofr revenue. Representative Gillet (Rep. Mass.) criticised the sugar schedule of the bill on the ground that the taking oil tho bounty took awav the constitu­ tional ground of national expediency on which the sugar schedule was chiefly sus­ tained. Mr. f»nodi;rass (Dem.. Tenn.) and Mallory (Dem., Fla.) opposed the bounty. Mr. Boatner was in favor of a revenue duty on sugar. Mr. Payne protested against putting a tax back on sugar. Mf Wilson spoke briefly against any change in the tariff bill as prepared by the Committee- on Ways and Means. Tbe amendments and substitutes presented to the s igar schedule were then rend prior to takin? the vote upon them. The first amendment was the one offered by Mr. McRae, suspending the bounty on sugar and putting sugar on tbe free list The McRae amendment was agreed to on a* vote by tellers by yeas. 135; nays, 69. Mr. Robertson offered an amendment provid­ ing for a tariff tax on sugar. To this amendment Mr. Warner offered an amend­ ment putt'ng refined sugar on the freO list Mr. Breckinridge offered a substitute, pro­ viding for a duty of 1 cent per pound on molasses, sirups, and all raw products of cane juice, beet juice, tank bottoms, sugar Sweepings, etc. Mr. Warner's amendment was asrreed to. nearly all Republicans vot­ ing in the affirmative Tbe Breckinridge amendment was lost day. it op&ttdft inrtBemlktely Hffejr the reading- of tho journal, according- to tho agreement by which three hours were set aside for this pur­ pose. Before the first amendment was offered some discussion was iKtil an kf \vfcythet' tl3§ slidUM fie to each of the three sections of the Wilson bill schedule separately--the bounty provision, the duty of five-twenticsths of a cent on re­ fined eu»ar above No. 16 Dutch stand­ ard, and the duty of 30 per cent, on sugar candy and confectionery aijsJ of 15 pe* cent, on grape sugar. Fending an agreement as to the mode of pro eelure, Mr. Hitt, of Illinois, withrew the amendment p.-pding with reference to reciprocity with Canada on free coal. Then, after further consultation, thev sugar men, repre ented by 'Mr. Blanchard, withd: ew their first prcpo- s tion ard asked that the time be di­ vided into three parts, an hour for those in favor of the bounty provis­ ion, one for those who favor the bounty provision of the McKinley law, and an hour fo • those who favor a duty on su­ gar. Mr. McRae objected tecause this arrangement gave no time to those who were for frea sugar and no boun­ ty. It was finally agreed, hQwever, that the Louisiana members who were mcst interested should have an hour, and the remainder of the House should take chances of recognition of the Chair during the other two hour\ The fiivat amendment was that offered by Mr. McRae (Dem., Ark.) to abolish entirely the sugar bounty. In support of his amendment Mr. McRae said that he proposed to abolish entirely the sugar bounty and leave sugar on the free list where it was placed by the McKirttcy" law. A time when the Treasury was bankrupt and the Secre­ tary of tv e Treasury was proposing to djTTOW money at 5 per cent. in eFest was no time to pav a special I brunty to any interest. Ho had | no personal feeling against tho section of the country to be -affect­ ed, but he did not conceive that a Democratic Congress would perpetuate this, the most vicious provision o» the McKinley bill. The bounty would coit the people of the country, said Mr. McRae,"as it stood, $50,000,000. Tho bounty la=*t year cost $10,000,000. He cont3nds that the bounty was unconsti­ tutional and un-Democratis, and should be abolished. The McRae amendment was carried by an overwhelming ma­ jority, 135 to 6ft, This action abolishes the bounty on sugar. The vote was then taken upon the amendments to section 181, providing for a duty on refined sugars. Mr. Robertson's amendment, providing for a duty of from 1 1-10 cents a pound up­ ward on sugars testing by the polari- scope not above 75 degrees, was offered as the first amendment. To this Mr. Warnor of New York offered the amen'dment to place refined sugar, dutiable in the bill at i cent a pound, on the free list, and after quite a lengthy parliamentary discussion, the vots was fir.st taken upon Mr. Warner's amend­ ment to abolish the duty on refined sugar, and by a vote of 137 to 52 the duty on refined sugar was abolished. INCOME-TAX PROVISIONS. POVERTY IN PHILADELPHIA. HorribTe Tale , of the Most Pitiable Desti­ tution. The police' of Philadelphia came across a most pitiable case of destitu­ tion tho other day. In a wretched lodging house on Maple street, known as "N< ah's Ark," they found a woman named Mary E. Allen, aged 55, jin tho HQHTINQ OFF RATS. last stages of consumption. Her body had been terribly bitten by rats, and when ihe policeman entered the room she was making feeble attempts to drive away an army of rodents with a club! She was without food or drink for several days and was in a very help­ less condition. All about were signs of abject poverty. It seems strange that in these days of enlightenment such extreme casefe could exist un­ known in the heart of a big city. Cow Butter vs. Olao. All ready for war against the sinful "oleo" man is the National Dairy Union. The union met in Chicago, adopted a constitution, elected officers, and laid out a plan of campaign. The union heartily indorsed Senator Hill's anti- "oleo" feill, asl ed Congress to raise the tax on imitations of butter to 7 cents a pound, demanded of the Internal Revenue Department that the existing laws be more stringently enforced, and asked the appropriation of at least $150,000 to be applied to the expense of prosecuting oleomargarine cases. The constitution adopted declares that the object of the union shall be to secure national and State legislation to pre­ vent the manufact ure and sale of food articles male in imitation of butter and chee.-e and to assist in the enforce­ ment of all laws now in existence or to be Aiade in the future against such products. A resolution asking that the making of filled cheese be subjected to the same tax as oleomargarine was also passed. Mr. Duck worthy, of New York, read resolutions calling upon the In­ ternal Revenue Commissioner to more fully execute the present "oleo" laws. During- the progress of this contro­ versy it was stated that the Internal Revenue Department is now allowed only $50,000 a year for the expense of running down all offenders against rev­ enue laws; so another resolution was offered beseeching Congress to set aside at least $150,0 )0 to be used to de­ fray the expense of prosecuting "oleo" cases alone.

The income tax bill, as agreed upon by the Democratic members of the Ways and Means Committee, provides that the income tax is to go into effect Jan. 1, 1895, the first collection to te July 1, 18^5. All classes of incomes are included in tbe measure and the uniform rate of 2 per cent, tax on in­ comes of over $4,000 is fixed. It is made obligatory on all persons receiving individual incomes of over $3,500 to make a return to the local collector of internal revenua. No tax is levied on those making a re­ turn, of under $4,00?. In case a person having an inccine of over $3,500 fails to make a return it becomes the duty of the revenue assessor to investigate, and if this examination discloses that the income is above $4,000 it is sub­ jected to twice the ordinary tax under the law, and the party failing to make his return is subject to fine and impris­ onment. Provision is also made by which no information can bo made public as to the details of the income reported by. citizens. Any person who divulges any part *>f this information is made sub­ ject to criminal prosecution, with heavy fine and penalty. Particular provision is made lor the collection of .the tax due on salaries--not only ofti- Jjcials, but of individuals--received f om '[business firms, corporations, etc. The individual receiving the salary does not pay the tax, but it is made the duty of every Government, State, County, 4nd municipal disbursing officer ta retain 2 per cent, of all salaries over the taxable amount. The tax up1 on corporations includes every phace of corporata stock. The tax is general, and it is without the $4,000 exemption allotted to individual incomes. It is provided the corporation shall pay the tax and deduct the amount from the dividends of the stockholders. Severe penalties are provided for all failures to do this. The entire business of the levying and collecting of the tax is placed in charge of a deputy commis­ sioner of internal revenue. The differ­ ent revenue district?of the country are also provided with deputy collectors, who will especially manage the collec- ttygUrf the income'tax. " "• 1 1 J?-' f - .

If the sef» I , enty or eighty mem­ bers who are against the income tagt will vote solidly for the sugar duty/ it will require only thirty or forty Southern and Western members to make a majority on the Democratic- side. It would be a happy solution of the problem of providing revenue, ill" the opinion of the Eastern membef* of the committee, and would practi­ cally knock the income tax in the head. The Republicans can turn the scale heavily in either direction, and the Eastern Democrats fear that they will turn it against the sugar duty. Soma of the Southern members, cftoreovei*,* . who might be willing to vote for the sugar duty under certain condition®, are seeing "the nigger in the woodpile*?. as clearly as their Eastern friends and may votQ against the sugar duty to save the income tax. "V ^ Another class of members, ln<?ludinj£k some from the East, believe that fit is better to let the bill go through tho House with sugar free cf duty snd t® leave to the Senate the task of putting' on the duty and striking out,the incomo tax. They reason that the Senate is oertain to take this action, and that if, the withdrawal of free sugar proves- unpopular with the masses the Sen­ ators can bear the burden much mom : easily than members of the House, who- have to deal directly with the people and many of whom, live in clote dis- % tricts. -v// The fight for a duty on coal and irqtni.- ore is bsing hotly waged and a big rail­ road lobby is urging in the strongest terms that the duty be restored. The- persistent labor of the lobby with in­ dividual members in favor of the duty is having some effect upon doubtful, members, but the committee in this' case will have the advantage of the radical free-trade vote, betides the conservative Eastern vote, which ha* been steadily with them. A recent "dispatch says many advo­ cates of the income tax have abandon©# all expectation of its adoption by tl|® House. \ Routine Proceedings. ^iha amendments to the iron ncheduJy Wednesday were overwhelmingly defeated in the House, and iron ore remains upoa the free list. The remainder of tbe after­ noon was spent in the discus^on of amend­ ments looking to the free admission of chinery used in the manufacture of cotton goods. Just before the House adjourned the advocates and opponents of the income tax on tho Democratic side . were arrayed against each other, but nothing definite was done IBe H*- waiian question came before the Senate strain and after an hour's discussion went, over. The result of the debate was to show that there is divioion both in the Demo­ cratic and Republican ranks as to the wis­ dom of adopting the resolution reported by the Foreign Relations Committee. The bill, repealing the Federal election law* came up as unfinished business. Senator Lodge took tho floor in opposition to tbe bill. When the Senator concluded bi* remarks the Senate went into execu­ tive session. At 3:15 the doore wer* reopened and Senator Coke, of Texas., called up the bill authorizing the Gulf. Beaumont .& Kansas Cttjr Railroad Companv to bridge the Neches and Sabine Rtvers in Louisiana and Texa* was passed, several fninor amendments b6- Ing first adopted.

The nearest approach to anytbiajr of in­ terest in the House Thursday was the re­ peated attempts of members of the New York delegation to filibuster against the possible introduction of an income tax amendment to the tariff btlL Tbe amendment was not offered and . it seems there was no intention of offer­ ing it, so their efforts were wasted. There were a great many amendments to the tariff bill offered, but only one of im­ portance, that taking crude opium off th« free list and imposing a duty of 81 per pound. This, like all the other amend­ ments approved by the Ways and Mean» Committee, was adopted. At 4:40 the House took a recess in order to permit tbe holding of a Democratic caucus to consider the income tax bilL Tbe Senate did noth­ ing of importance. .
