Portentous Facts. Loyal citizens of the United States, no matter what their political belief, cannot but regard with seriousness the accusation made by Senator Hale of MaineZagaini the tariff bill now under discussion. In the course of a dispas- sionate analysis of the measure Senator Hale said: “I do not hesitate‘ to charge that as affecting this region of our country (the: state. immediately south of the internationalbouudary line) this bill is made up after a fashion that could not have better satisfied thp Canadians had a committee of theii‘ Own taken the subject in charge and fixed their own schedules and duties.” That is not a light or air unconsidered utterance. Senator Hale emphasized that fact by‘informing the Senate that he was fully aware of the,_grave respon- sibility he assumed in making that statement. It is unquestionably the. destiny Of Canada that it shall some day enter the Union, but, as the Sena- tor contends, the tendeney of certain sections of the bill is to indefinitely postpone the consolidation. If the policy of the measure is enacted into law the Senator looks “to see the grow. ing sentiment for annexation die out” and expects “that in the generation to come we should find ourselves With a 'growing and possibly hostile rival along our entire northern border.” Against this sort of argument will be set up the plea that the United States does not want Canada and that there ' would be no advantage in acquiring the vast territory which'stretches to the Artie. But there does not seem to” be any answer'to the question : “Why should American money be used to build up what may soon prove to be a ' ~ formidable and anti-republican busi- ness and political rival ?” .- _ ,. __..,._.-~c .. —._.._.n-_ ..____ A Sad Case. On Wednesday afternoon as two men were coming down River street in the blinding snow storm they discovered a frail looking woman lying full length in the snow near Buckley & Son’s rub- ber factory. They tried to arouse her but were unable to do so. The woman was recognized as the wife of Charles Ezekiel, a printer, and daughter of Frederick Laramie Of Cross street. A carriage was secured and she was taken ,tO her parents’ home, where shortly after she regained ccnsciousuess. Mrs. Ezekiel’s father states that his daughter was deserted by her husband some months since and he has failed to prOVide for her support. She has one child and lives iii two rooms in the up- per part of a house on Belden avenue. She is in a delicate condition and her exposure to the storm may prOve ser- 10118. When found she had' neither hat, cloak or shoes on. Before leaving the house she placed her child on the bed and went away leaving it there. She says that before she started she felt strangely, but cannot or does not say as to what she intended doing. She was told the other day that her husband had been in town, and it is believed that she worried over his cruel treat- ment until she became temporarily in- saue and started for the river to drown herself. ' An attempt will be made to appre- hend young Ezekiel, and lawful means taken to compel him to support her and his child. ' . ' 4<+ . True as Preachin’. .

DEAR GAZETTflt—The Tariff discus- sion has occupied the week in theSen- ate. The speech of Senator Hill of New York continues the sensatrbn Of the debate. 'The southern democrats are very bitter against. him for it, but northern democrats; With republicans, are disposed to commend his great ability and courage therein displayed, but the southerndeinocrats in_ Congress speak of Cleveland and Hill as two millstones, between which the party is being ground to powder. On Tuesday Senator Lodge of Massa- chusetts, delivered an. able and elo- quent speech in opposition to the de-_ testable Tariff bill. His peroratiou was warmly applauded on the floor and. in the galleries. ‘ Wednesday Senator llale- made per- haps the most serious and damaging assault on the bill yet dthtll'ed... He said, among other things: “ I think I am entirely safe in making the state- ment that at no time during the twenty- five years of my service in Congress has any tarifi‘ bill, or, indeed, I may say, all tariff bills, aroused so deep a feeling among the American peopleand so strong and earnest and determined opposition as the tariff bill now before the Senate, known the world over as the Wilson bill. I in common with other Senators and with thousands of the Americaii people, have studied the bill with painful attention in order _to find out any reason or cause for its provisions, and I. am compelled to say that from, this study three things be- come to me apparent. First, it is a bill to protect the south and to punish, the north. Second, it is a bill for the benefit of the European manufacturer and pro- ducer at the expense of our own manu- facturer and producer. , Third, and this touches my own state, it is in every paragraph that deals with the products of the Dominionpf Canada, as brought in competition With the products of our own people along the Canadian border. a simon-pure al- most unadulterated biil for the benefit of Canada and to our corresponding ur . I‘ do not hesitate to charge, that, as affecting this region of our country, this bill is made up after a fashion that could not have better satisfied. the Canadians had a committee of their own taken this subject in charge and fixed our own schedules and duties. I am not unaware that in making this statement I am assuming a grave re- sponsibility, and I certainly should not make it if I did not believe that a study of the bill hears me out in‘this strong assertion.” ~ ' He discuSsed the probability of future amalgamation of the-two countries,and issaidr Canada must come tons, as we the McKinley law was hastening the union. He continued: “The Wilson bill and the amend- ments reported by, the Senate commit- tee throw over all this advantage and indefinitely postpone political union of the two countries, and, in fact, estab- lish a. policy so favorable to the Cana- dians that I should look to see the growing sentiment for annexation die ing and possibly hostile rival along our entire northern border. This consider- ation alone, in the broad domain of statesmanship, ought to be in itself the deathblow of the bill.” Senator Hale asserted that Canada had advantages over this country in labor and its transportation facilities, adding: ' ~ . . “But beyond all this the conditions of life throughout Canada, the different manner of living, the different scale of advantage enjoyed, result in different rates of labor paid ’upon the two sides Of'the border, varying from 25 to 40 per cent. Nowhere, perhaps, in the world, is the consideration of cheaper labor entering into manufactured pro- ducts so clearly presented to the eye as in the comparison of wages between the United States and Canada. In some parts of the Dominion the wages paid in corresponding branches of labor will not vary much fromone- half of those paid on this Slde. Now, Mr. President, I desire to make. some further comment upon isomeor all of these articles. They embrace, to begin‘with, almost the totality of the industries of my own state, and, in set form, they pitilessly legislate against all the interests of the State of sins and in favor of her Canadian rival. do not think that such an instance Of oppression of the industries of a state, by legislative enactment, can be found in any tarifi'. bill that has ever been adopted in the United States.” He also criticised the make-up of the finance committee, char ing that the Wilson bill was committe, to the hands of three or four Senators from the southern states. SENATOR HOAR’S JOKE. Wednesday afternoon Senator Hoar sprung a sensation by stating that he wished to make a speech, which he would have read from the desk. He thereupon sent up an Associated Press bulletin stating that the New York leg- islature had passed a resolution .of opposition to the tariff ,bill in the Sen- “ e: l T . This was greeted with some applause in the: gallery, which the Vice Presi- dent quickly checked. .Mr. Gray of Delaware explained the action of the New York legislature by saying that the legislature of ‘New York was over- whelmingly republican. , “ Yes,” replied Mr. Aldrich, smiling- ly, “but not by such a majority as shown by the dispatch. There is a ma- jority Of fourteen on a joint ballot, so that at least forty democrats must have voted for the resolution.” ‘ .

The note has the appear- ance of having been printed from a wood out. It is considerably smaller than the genuine in every particular. This fact shows that the camera was used in its production. The general appearance of the note is blurred. HOW TRUE. Congressman DeForest says that if this miserable Congress would adjourn and go home. the business of the coun- try would at once revive. .

Some weeks since the attention of the board of fire engineers was called to the disgraceful doings at HopeHose house on Sundays. An investigation found a condition of things even worse than at first reported. The board of engineers presented the matter to the .city council and recommended the dis- bandment and rte-organization of the company. A committee of the council was appointed to act with the engineers for the purpose of making further in- vestigations; In the meantime the. company had held a meetingwith the. result that a number of memberswe’nei' stricken from the rolls, audit was claimed among those members was a good proportion of the disturbing ele- ment, and the company gave promise of doing better in the future, The investigating committee kept right on with their duties, with the re- sult, it is understood, that at the next meeting of the city council, Monday evening, they will unanimously report in favor of disbanding and re-orgaui- amp; the company, placing James Cos- tello an the head of the same as captain Costello was Some years since foreman of the company, and while having the same under discipline he also enjoy- ed the respect of the members. He re- signed from the company some time since, and it was only at the earnest solicitation of the committee that he has consented to accept the captaincy of the re-organized company. Hope Hose company has done splen- did work at fires in the past, and while (the necessity for its disbandnieut is to be regretted, such disbandment will no doubt be for the best interests of the city as well as that of the company. The committee has' not acted hastily in the matter, indeed if anything it would at first seem as if they had acted slowly. Certain it is, they ‘have given the matter a thorough investigation, and will render their decision only af- ter mature deliberation. . -.— ... ._— .4*>—...u _. . ~— That Bomb(?). The “mysterious bomb” which was found in the rear of the Honnecker house on Wall street, Thursday morn- ing, is still in the possession Of chief of’police Bradley. Perhaps the young man who sometime since proposed to a newspaper reporter that they go .to Riverside cemetery and tamper with the lock on the receiving vault for the purpose of getting up a sensational story of an attempted grave robbery knows more about the alleged “bomb” than he cares to tell. The reporter ought to have had him arrested when he made the wicked and punishable proposition. , _____-.._‘ .‘ Bridgeport’s Poor.
