avail themselves of the opportunity to clip the
coupons covering the first 20 parts of "Glimpses

ARKANSAS POPULISTS
Nominate a Candidate for Governor and an
Entire State Ticket.
Little Rock, Ark., July 20.—The populist
state convention adopted a platform and
(nominated a staite ticket to-day. D. E.
Barker of Drew county, who served six
'terms in the legislature as a democrat,
and at one time president of the senate,
was nominated for governor. The remain-
der of the state ticket lis as follows:

county; auditor, A. J. Nichols of Franklin
county; treasurer, T. J, Andrews of Cle-
burne county; attorney general, Dr. J. A.
Meek of Craighead county; state land com-
missioner, O. S. Jones of Nevada county;
commissioner of agriculture, S. H. Nowlin
of Pulaski county; superintendent of pub-
lic instruction, J. P. Carnahan of Wash-
ington county.
The platform says in part: "The events
of the past eighteen months lhave demon-
strated the fact that the leaders of the
democratic party are incompetent and un-
trustworthy, because they have followed
in the footsteps of the republican party,
tlnus Violating their pledges "to the people.
The whole country Is moved 'by sucfti a
general state of unrest and dissatisfac-
tion that we deem it our duty to say that
the people stand appalled and look with
amazement at the corruption and extrav-
agance of our government and public ser-
vants and 'believe that we are verging
upon moral and political ruiin.
"Millions of our citizens are looking star-
vation in the face and thousands of Win-
chesters in the hands of the milii'tia of
state after state are coldly looking them
in the face."
It. denounces both the old parties and
charges them with all manner of misdeeds.
It indorses the Omaha platform and de-
mands the free and unlimited coinage of

ernment, and demands the absolute re-
striction of undersirable immigration from
every nation of the globe.

And Thereby Surprises Everybody—The De-

for Tariff Legislation This Session.
AQSOLUTEW PURE
Washing-ton, July 20.—[Special.]—It was a
great day in the senate, ae great a day
as "this most august and deliberative body
in the world," as (the members of it delight
to repeat, ever saw.
The women of tlhe capital of tihe nation
crowded into 'the galleries, every mother's
daughter of bhem with a fan. The weather
was hot, not, however, <ae hot as the col-
lars of the senators, and the beauty,
crowding out the ohlvalry, dressed in
wihite, made their fans move till the whole
upper part of the house seemed in motion.
It was known ithat there was trouble.
Mr. Cleveland has aotually, In that irrev-
erent way which eeems to be a habit
with him, reached for the scruff of
the neck of this "most august and delib-
erative body in the world," lias grasped it
and has shaken said body till whait teeth
It had faurly rattled. Now it was very
naturally supposed that said body would
not tamely submit to this indignity and
there would be trouble. Thus It was that
the galleries were crowded.
It is remarkable how much, endurance a
woman can have when her curiosity is
excited. Anyone looking on tJhis vast con-
gregation of females -to-day could readily
understand how in the good old days of
Home the women turned down their deli-
cate 'thumbs as the sign that they de-
manded butchery and 'blood for the price
of their admission to the «howe. There
was to be no blood in this, but there was
to be a row and t/he delicate creatures
were 'there, fatigued by a hellish heat, but
bound to see the fight.
Mr. Vo-orhecs, as leader of the senatorial
conferrees, simply stated the disagreement
between the bodies and took his seat. He
Would not talk. He -thought at tihis time
thiat silence was truly golden, because
within him raged a fire of Indignation that
if avowed an escape might consume him.
And so he dild not talk, but gave way to
Mr. Smith of New Jersey. If there is any-
thing In evolution Mir. Sim 1th is fhe de-
scendant of a Percheron horse witih wind-
galls and etringhalt, for he fairly crept
through this speech. There was not one
word said by him that fell pleasantly on
the ear. He made no gestures, there were
no inflections in his voice and he etood
and read his speech something after the
manner of a blublberlng schoolboy.
He declared that he was a democrat, be-
lieving in -tariff reform, and tlhen droMed
the idiocy of a protection for manufactur-
ers. When he ceased he seemed ito be
glad, ae certainly were those who heard
him. He had said his piece, ®aid It as
well he 4s capable of doing anything and
then fell back in his chair, Hi is moon face,
expressionless, turned to the celling as If
he were really thinking.
Mr. Hill arose at once, and there was
a buzz, because he generally says some-
thing and does something of a sensational
character when he gets up. He is an en-
emy to the president, and stands absolute-
ly without a friend In the house. He Is the
bad boy oif the senatorial neighborhood.
He sits back on the floor, 'but to-day every
member of the august body turned In his
chair to hear from him. Ills remarks at
the beginning were clean-<cut, as they al-
ways are, and highly commendatory of the
president's course in writing the letter to
Mr. Wilson and complimentary to the ex-
pressions in the letter. Every one who
heard him said: "He is doing this only to
better prepare himself for the "blow which
he will finally deliver his enemy."
But this was a mistake. Only once did
he criticise, and this was the president's
mistake in not saying some time ago that
which he said yesterday.
Mr. Vest made a speech which was some-
what plaintive. It was in the nature of a
"we have done all we could, and as a re-
ward have received a biff in the eye." He
whined some, worked hiimseif for a little
indignation, failed to secure it, mopped his
forehead and sat down. That was about
the end oif the whole thing.
Th-' democratic party In the senate to-
day has never felt such Indignation. To
better express the viewy of the democrats
of this body, a quotation from a democratic-
sen ator can be used:
"1 have sat in the senate with thirty-
five more mem'bers who have never ibeen in
sympathy with the senate bill, and ail
through the disoussion we have been re-
viled by the press, cjrsed by the people
and sneered at by the republicans. VVe
felt that we could not -pass the bill unless
we made the concessions that were made,
and now the culmination is an excoriation
on the part of the president which abso-
lutely casts us to the ground. From this
time on I shall tafce care of myself. 1
shall vote for free ra^w material; T shall
vote for free everything, and shall urge
the transformation of this bill into a truly
free trade measure. It is now a case of
every fellow for himself, and as the boat
seems about to sink, I shall grab a plank."
There will be an attempt to have a con-
ference among the democrats of fhe sen-
ate, but the general opinion is that it will
amount to nothing under the principle of
every man taking care of himself. Any
concerted action or unity is impossible.
The house is 'Standing solid, Wilson's
great play of stopping the stampede in
the house, as recorded in these dispatches,
was eminently succesaful. Mr. Cleveland's
letter gave every man courage, and now,
when you ask one of the members what he
thinks of the outlook, he may not give
clear ideas, but he Invarhubly tells you:
"J have never known the old man at the
white house to lose yet."
There is some talk of a caucus in the
house also wiiih a view to seeing If an
amicable arrangcirrient of some kind can
not *be arrived at; but this will not materi-
alize, because the houise feels that It has
the senate on tiie run, and proposes to
whoop up that body as irrnich as possible.
The republicans had a big surprise In
store for the democrats to-dav.
and believed they could detfeat the bill,
but a cog or tiwo slipped. They were dis
appointed and the . xpected sensation did
not come off. Mr. Vilas *has moved to cut
off the one-eighth differential in favor of
the refiners.

THE SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
Washington, July 20.—To-day was one of
dramatic Interest in the senate, for the
fate of .the tariff bill of 1S9I depended up-
on the course pursued .in the upper branch
of congress. The friends of the tariff bill
wore anxious faces, and more than once
during the day felt that the very danger
putint had been .reached. The enemies of
the bill at times believed that .they would
be able to defeat it. When the adjourn-
ment ca.me the situation was still perplex-
ing.
The senate proceedings proper were of
a peculiar nature in that the debate was
carried 011 entirely by the democrats, save
a brief speech by Senator Sherman and a
question by Senator Aldrich. The princi-
pal speeches of the day were those of
f-.aiatora Hill and Vesit, though others con-
tributed to t-he interest of the occasion.
Senator Hill's |>.Ksition indorsing the presi-
dent in emphatic terms was one of the
conspicuous incidents of the day.
Senator Vest took occasion to make In
plai.n terms a defense of -the right of the
senate and house to manage dts confer-
ence without executive Interferences. Hiw
criticism of tiie president's course and the
action of Mr. Wilson was more severe than
was expected. He spoke for the lina.nce
committee and tihe position of the senate
conferrees.
The action of Senator V-llas in preceding
his speech with a motion to strike out t.h"
one-eighth differential oil sugar was an
additional sensation of a sensational day
from the fact that it was probable that
the motion would carry. It causal con-
sternation until it was found that the mo-
tion could be declared out of order.
The statements of Senator Smith and
Senatbr BlanebaiNl were important as in-
dicating that a dhange .1 n the sugar sched-
ule might mean the loss of their votes
while Senator H'lanohard stated decidedly
that he would not vote for the bill if
this change was made.
Senator Gray's vigorous speech was en-
livened by a brisk colloquy with Senator
Hill.
Crowds as had not thronged the senate
'In months packed tthe galleries. The hot.se
and the president had yesterday thrown
down the gauntlet to I he senate on the
tariff question and a pitched battle w.s
expected. An ominous hush was upon the
chamber when the president pro tern., .Mr.
Harris of Tennessee, rapped the senate lo
order.

Senators Sherman, Aldrich, Allison and
Hale, the leaders on the republican side,
appeared .amused at the storm wh'ich
■threatened across the political aisle,
The preliminary routine business was
transacted In a perfunctory way.
Senator Voorhees, the "Tall Svcamore of
fhe Wabash," chairman of the finance com-
mittee, arose and called up (he conference
report on the tariff bill. Without a word
of explanation he yielded the II ior I >

lie had hoped, he said, when the bll>'.
passed the senate two w»eks ago that II
had been perfected. Hut the events of the
last twenty-four hours had confronted the
democratic pasty with the posalblflty of
failure of all tariff legislation at this ses-
sion. If so, the r.'snonsibHlty must be
placed where It belonged. He criticised the
president for "violating" the principles of
Wis party in attempting to Interfere with
the prerogative of the U-g'-vative branch of
tt'he government, and declared that he
should never be Intimidated bv threats
from the president, or by the utterance o.f
his party associates tvt the other end of
the capital, which has been so uproariously
displayed.
He called attention to the difference ilve-
tween the situation in the house and the
senate. II- reviewed the events in the
house which culminated in tiie passage of
the bill with the loss of seventeen demo-
cratic votes in that ibody. In the senate
all was changed. Every democratic vote
was needed to pass the bill if it was to be
passed as a party measure, and the mem-
bers of the finance committee went heroic-
ally to work to harm arize the diffenences ex-
isting on Ihe democratic side. They had ac-
complished that purpose, to their ever'ast-
ing credit, be it said. He had been one of
those who had stood out for concessions
in Ihe Interest of his constituents He
made no concealment of his position then
He made none now.
He then proceeded to deliver a glowing
eulogy of tiie tariff bill as it passed the
senate, which, unlike file house bill, he de-
clared, contained no menace to the Indus-
tries of the country, ami had not been fram-
ed by men from sparsely settled districts
who knew nothing of tiie great commercial
interests of the country. lie asserted
that the frumers of the house bill and a
large proportion ol the democratic party
were not tariff reformers; they were free
traders.
The president In his letter accepting the
nomination had favored not free, but freer
raw materials. He proceeded to point out
the reductions that the senate bill made
on coal, iron and lead ore and detailed
at length the reduction on other schedules
Then the speaker touched on sugar A
majority of Kll In the house had enabled
that b idy, he said, to ride rough-shod over
die wishes of the representatives of the
sugar-producing states In the face of tiie
president's protest. The chairman of the
ways and moans committee proposed to
place sugar, raw and refined, 011 the free
list in a separate bill. He then devoted
some time to an exposition of the situa-
tion with reference to sugar, raw and re-
fined, contending that the proposed reduc-
tion In the senate bill was one of the big-
gest made 111 any schedule.
Prom statistics obtained at the treasury
department he maintained that Ihe enact-
ment of the senate bill would reduce tariff
taxation 5174.000,000. He had voted for

He had asked for far greater concessions
from Ills constituents than be had from
the tinanco committee.
"So far as I am concerned, and I think
I speak also for several of my colleagues
there has not been, and will not be the
slightest change In my Position," said Mr.
Smith. "I accepted the income tax in
Its modified form from a sense of duty to
my party; but I did so with the greatest
reluctance and with the distinct declaration
regarding other portions of the measure
that 1 would not vote for any bill or any
amendment that would make it impossible
for a single Industry to continue to resume
operations. I believe, sir, that the commit-
tee on finance will bear me out In Hie as-
sertion that 1 have done everything in my
power to aid them in their work.
"It is true that 1 have urged Ihe ne-
cessity of care and moderation In revising
the schedule which directly concerns the in-
dustries of my state. Hut I believe they
will concede a disposition on my part to
be fair and reasonable, I know that I have
demanded far greater concessions from my
constituents than I have sought from the
finance committee. It has been charged
that we ar*> not sincere in our advocacy
ot the senate bill; that we have made It
for trading purposes, and that those of us
who oppose the Wilson bill would rush
Into line at the llrst crack of the whip.
I did not suppose that any person familiar
with the character of this body would be
misled by a motion «u puerile. But It is

evident from 'the attitude of our colleagues
iu tin' hoti-'f that either they do not be- \
Move we meant what we said or they are ■«,
willing lo Invite defeat of tariff legislation.
Of the former 1 have nnlv to say that -they
have mistaken their nun; of the latter they
must answer lo the people for the defeat
of a bill which should, and t believe would,
satisfy all reasonable expectations.
"I have fried, Mr. Pre- dent, to diWlne
the position of my colleagues and myself
•wl'th til ■ eand >r and moderation befitting
a member of this body. 1 have tried to
speak dispassionately and in a spirit of
friendliness ratli-r than of hostility. 1
have tried to be frank and have scrupu-
lously avoided covert threats by Inference
or Innuendo. I have noi supposed oaises of
whose ex -i nee | knew nothing. 1 have
nut said that it' this be true such ami
such must be done. Hut in the circum- ■
Siancew, and iu view of what has been
said, 1 should certainly fall In my duty it
1 failed to speak with the utmost plain-
ness, and so. sir, I say in conclusion, in
all frl.'iulUneHs toward those who have as-
persed our motives, that so far as I am
c incerned they need expect no further cm-
cessions. I have labored earnestly and
honesily to bring about a satisfactory eft-
tlemenl of this question. Hut. sir, 1 have
reached ihe limit, i have done. It would
be unbecoming 111 me, .Mr. President, to
suggest to our conference what it should1
do They are old and wise and know what
in best. Hut it is certainly lifting that Wiey
should understand the w.slies of their col-
leagues. And so 1 say. for myself, I
know, and for ninny others 1 believe. th«t ,
it 1 were a member of ihat committee X
should say to the conferrees from the
I; .use in answer to the defiance which
have been flung in our faces: 'Gentlemen,
(here Is our bill. It is the result of great
labor and Infinite pains. It lias met wJth
the approval both of the free trade and
protection elements of our party. If «
adapted to eondi'tlons, not theories. It is
not perfect, but is as nearly perfect as we
can hope to make it at this session. In
any event esuch as It is there it lies. You
are at liberty to lake it or leave It.'
"Tha,t. sir, would be my position. I
would not recede from It so much as a
hair's breadth."
When Mr. Smith concluded Mr. Hill
jumped to liis feet, and being recognlzfd,
launched Ills speech as follows:
"A theory as well as a condition now
confronts us. The theory of the demo-
cratic party is that In the enactment of
tariff legislation free raw materials should
always tie an essential and conspicuous ele-
ment. It is our creed that the materials
which enter into our manufactures should
be freed from the burden of tariff taxa-
tion. The best interests of tihe manu-
facturer, as well as the consumers of the
laud, demand the recognition of this wis©
discrimination. We are committed to tit is
side of the question and we can not re-
treat and we can not retract. We are
honorably bound to redeem our professions
and our promises. Justice, good faith and
a decent regard for public sentiment all
require this course.
"Until recently I had supposed thait there
was no dispute upon this question of prin-
ciple. but that every democrat worthy ot
t/he name was willing to concede tha.t if
there was one thing more than anotliw
to which the democratic party was com-
mitted It was In favor of the doctrine of
a I isolutely free raw materials. The trtw>
and honest construction of every demo-
cratic national platform for twelve years
past irrevocably commits us to this just
and reasonable principle."
Mr. Hill, read the democratic national
platform of 181*12 and continued:
