The progress mndo on the tnilff bill In
the senate seems to wnrrnnt the expecta
tion that It will PIJ-S : that body caily In
July , If not by the end of the current
flscnl year , but It must be borne In mind
that the schedules over which the hard
est light will be made are yet to be con-
sldcicd. The sugar duties nnd the wool
nnd woolen duties will undoubtedly bo
subject1) of prolonged debate , wlillo the
tea and hide duties and the Incieased
taxes on beer and tobacco will cause n
vlgoions contest.
The sugar schedule will bo taken up
this weel. If Senator Aldiich Is well
enough to bo In the senate , or Its consid
eration may go on without him , as many
eiiatois aie anxious to have this per
plexing and troublesome fo.ituie of the
bill disposed of It l.s said that the re
publicans of the finance committee will
piobably submit : v modification of the
schedule nnd they certainly will if they
aio disposed to give any heed to the
general sentiment legnidlng it in well
Infoinu'd quiii lure. It Is hardly possible
that the stliedule as lopoiled can pass
the Semite ami It seems to be absolutely
ceitain ( lint It would not be accepted by
the house. The conviction Is geneial
tlmt the sugar duties as ntiangi-d by the
senate finance committee ttie not only
highly favoiablo to the Sugar tnist" , but
would fall to yield the icveniii' esti
mated. The ad valoiem duty Is espe
cially objectionable , as affoidlng an op-
poitunlty to the Impoiters of sugar to
cheat the govoinment , as they have been
doing for the past three jeais , tluough
undervaluation. It would enable the
ImporlPiA to cut down the lovomie. of
the government to the lowest possible
point by bilnging In the cheapest siig.ns
at an ad valoiem duly and then to tuin
around and squeeze the gie.Uest amount
out of the Ameilcaii people by complete
contiol over the inaiket. Hut while this
is a fatal objection to the senate sugar
schedule , It Is not the only objection , so
that theto will have to be u jjeueial
modllleatlon.
In regaid to wool there will probably
be a compromise between the duties of
Hie house bill and the senate bill. The
speech of .Senator Mantle a few days
ago undoubtedly voiced the geneial s"ii-
tlment of the wool pioduceis. They aio
not satlsik'd with the Kites piopobed by
the senate finance committee and while
they would piefer the house tales th\\
will piob.ibly be content with a com
piomlse and it Is pietty sale to say
that such will be the outcome of the
contest over thl.s schedule. The pie
posed duty on hides may also have to be
settled by compiomlse , while as to th
duty on tea and the Inc. KM soil taxes on
beer and tobacco , they aie moie than
likely to be lejected , theie being con
sidoiable lepubllcan opposition to thorn
in the .senate and moie among the 10-
piibllc.ins of the house.
It will be seen , theiefoie , that the ex
ceptionally rapid pi OKI ess that lias been
made with the t.uiir b'll In the senate
does not ncivssai llr indicate a contlnu
am-e of this expedition. However , the
opposition having thus far made good
the assHi.iiifo ghen thai it would not
by olwtiin-live faeties delay the measure
and would confine itself to fair and tea-
sonable discussion , theie Is leason to
expect that the countiy will hive a new
taiill' law caily in the next li.scal year ,
which begins July 1. ,

very general hope that tlie Hbeinls will
bo given an nppmtnnlty to expeilinent

no run son to doubt that Sagasta and
his adhi'ients are cntlruly slnceie In

that would be a veiy gipat inipiovenient

far shoit of what It should beer what

New York Tribune
Everybody will rejoice to learn that nn era
cf unexampled pro perlt ) Is getting ready to
dawn upon the state of Texas Forewarning
of It comes In a dispatch from San Antonio ,
where General Paul Vandmoort , who Is
described ns "the well known populist
leader , " is now engaged In painting the first
ruddy streaks of it on a wide horlron Gen-
"ral Vandervoort h.u evolved a scheme for
colonizing Ihousands of populists on unoc-
cuiiled lands In various parts of the state
The movement is to be on a grand scale , and
will icsult If the big tand owners will only
throw open tlielr holdings and join ln ll
In Increasing Iho population of the state bv
at Icatt 2.000,000 more people duiing the next
llvo jeaia. And the newcomers will be a
class of cltbcns of which. General Vander-
voort says the state "will have reason to be
proud" in token of the earnestness and
sincerity of the movement the geneial an
nounces that ex-Governor Walto of Colorado ,
of bloody bridles fame , Is already on the
giound making airaniementa for n large
number of settlers , whom ! ie will bilng with
liim , and that Mr. Debs of Illinois who col
lided with the geneial government a few
years ago ai.d suffered brief but fluent mar-
tjrdom in jail on that account , Is arranging
to stait the movement In Chicago IJoth
these Illustrious persons , it is hardly neces
sary to say , are actuated solely by phllan-
tliiLplc motives. Of Debs the dispatch says
ho "will never so into another mi Ike , but
will Hoik to give people a chance to get out
from under the yoke of oppression of debt ,
which jtar b > year Is growing
heavier and heavier upon them , bj
giving them an opportunity to make
homes for themselves In the glorious coast
country. " Jly which we understand that the
opportunity will bo given ttf people who are
unable to Kettle up in Chicago to settle down
In Texas. If we may trust tradition , Texas
was oilglnally settled on that plan.
It is a great oclicmo. Great for Texas ,
\vhlch la about to bo populated , and no lea
great tor ths other sections of the country
whicli It depopulates In General Vandci
voort's opinion , the feeling in the latter over
the threatened exodus Is Intense and pro
found Since the tide of eontlment begun
to turn toward Texas , IIP says the west and
noitlivsest have begun to bo alaimed. " 1
could name prominent iieui-papcra In those
regions , " ho uajs , "which have refused to
pi hit a woid about Texai during the present
year , fcnilng to ndd fuel to tlu < flame which
Is already firing Iho hearts of northwestern
farmeis " He ays Ihc northwest Is on fire
already , and "In states vvhcro high taxes
Interest , big fuel and clothing bills and high
ratca of Iranflportatlon keep the farmer'o
110:0 to the grindstone they aie beginning
to turn their eyes Inward Texas , where landr
arc cheap , taxes low , vhero fuel costs prac
tlcally nothing , nnd clothing llttlo In com
parison , and win re the farmer la close to
tidewater , vvhcro ho can get hla turpltis prod
ucts Into market without giving all away
to railroad companies " This ' Utopia , In
deed. Our only wonder U that Geneial Van-
dcrvoort has not Invited his 2,000,000 popu
lists a llttlo further Into tlio tiopli.s , where
they would have no taxes , need neither fuel
nor clothing , and have no bother about tracn
portatlon late-s , but could lie on their back *
nil day whlln the nutritious banana ripened
and fell Into their moutrfl.
Th's ' lazy life- , however , would hardly
satisfy the active popullit mind , Kx-Gov-
crnor Walte and Deba would not be fulfill
ing tlielr mission If thev were not keeping
tholr Intellectual proceFsea In constant
operation for the uplifting of the downtrod
den nnd oppressed , and the general benefit
pt mankind. That in what they are here for.
And Texas Is probably aa good a place as , any
fop Inn oxcrcli'e ' of their peculiar talentn.
If they CHI hive 2,000,000 populUts- that
laige and fruitful elate , keeping them con
tented , near tidewater , without tuxe-u , nnd
freed from the ewt of clothing and exec-n
aive freight loten , ho that they can keep tholr
minds constantly at work , Improving each
other and working for n speedy and satisfac
tory millennium , we are rather disposed to
think that It will be a good thing- for all
concerned. A good thing for Texas , a good
thing for the new cltizcno. nnd an uncom
monly gocd thing for the i > eclon | of country
dcpopulatc-d by the exodus. It will also be
a good thing for Mr , Halley of Texas , tlie
prf filt democritlc leader In cougre-rs lie

are but details , how
ever , and we mention
them only because it
gives us a chance to
say that we have every
thing that a man may
want in Furnishings as
well as in Clothing.
Our clothing this
season is , beyond comparison ,
finer than any we have ever
shown before. It is because
we are always trying to im
prove that this is so. If you
want the best in clothing , and
know our store , you know
where to go ,
BROWNING ,
KING & GO.
