Wasntncton, May, 7, 1897.
oKilled by an overdose ct tariff,�
may be the epitaph on the tosb af the
Republican pa.ty, if the tariff bill
which was this week reported to the
Senate is vot radically changed in
many of the schedules. It has siarted
a fight among the Republicans that
may result in killing the tariff bill as
well as the Republican party, although,
of course, the chances are that the
differences wi!l be patched rp in some
way and a bill of some sort put
through at this session of Congress,
That the fight is now raging is shown
by the opeu threats of the New
England Senators to stay in Washing-
ton all summer rather than see the duty
on hides, which the Senate finance
Committee bas put in the bill, remain
in the bill, and these Seuators are
already trying to Democratic
Senators to promise to vote with thei
to strike out the duty on hides when
the bill is voted upon by sections in the
Senators whe

publicans representing districis having
large brewing interests are much
worked up over the increase ot 44

Senator Jones, of Ark., who is
regarded asa tariff expert as well as
one of the most careful political ob-
gervers of the tine, said of the present
situation: oThis tariff bill means the
aisruption of the Republican party:
"The taxes impoted by it will be resent-
~ed by the people. New England will

tion of a daty on hides, but the lesson

are now assembling in this city,

be no ordinary eyeut In great
cities where great events are ol

tion represents the largest church
organization in che South and
einbraces within it some of the
best intellacts cof living Ameri-
cans. There are some whose
hairs have silvered or whiteaed
in the service of the Ma ter,
whose names have spread beyond
the continent, and others not so
long in the service but highly
~gifted and deyotedly zealous,

vinces- Bright men, able meu

are hera, men that any denomi-
nation, auy section Or any coun-
try might be jastly proud to call

With these are writers of books
and gifted editors, who through
their books, papers and other
periodicals expound the doctrines
of their denomination, defend
them when assailed, and carry on
from day to day the wcrk of edu-
cation so essential to the best
development and to the success
of any great church or other
organization, There are also,
though not of the clergy but with
them in spirit, men eminent in
other walks of life who have left

generation in which they live.
