It was the late Senator Morrill who

Cordelia Yiau lias been sentenced at

During the past year seven colored
women have been lynched in the south.
There were 00,073 deaths in Greater

New York correspondent, and he added
lhat 30.294 of the deaths were in ten

whole number were of children under
five years of age—more than half in ten

was 19.21. on an estimated population
of 2,948,830.
' The United States senate, which is
sometimes called the millionaires' club,
might with equal appropriateness be
designated as an old gentleman's club,
for there are a considerable number of
members who are well on in years and
there are no really young senators, with
the exception of Senator Penrose, of
Pennsylvania, who is but 38 years old.
Most of the senators are on the shady
side of 60 and a number of them are
past 70 while the late Senator Morrill,
of Vermont, was in his eighty-ninth
year.
Official figures by the director of the
mint show that the gold product in the

NO CHANGE IN THE TARIFF.
Aurrlran llimlnrna Men llave Aceept
r>l us Final the Pro(rotlvf
Principle.
Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee Dingier is reported as hav
ing said that the war re-venue law
would not be changed this winter, for
the re-ason that the government needs
the revenue that is produced by it.
Congressman Dingley might have add
ed another reason had he not thought
that the necessity of the government
was of itself sufficient. He must know
that in this city, and probably in every
manufacturing community in the
L'nited States, a protest that would be
impressive would be raised were it un
derstood that it was the intention of
the ways and means committee to
change in any material way the ex
isting law, or at least that part of it
which applies to the customs tariff.
In fact, this feeling is so strong that
a reported interview with Senator
Hanna has occasioned some anxiety
here, and it is a common remark that it
is to be hoped that Senator Hanna was
inaccurately reported. The opinions
which are quoted as coming from him
have been carefully read and asa result
it is the impression here that the sen
utor does not mean that the war rev
enue measure or the tariff law must be
changed in any important respect, but
simply that some minor changes are
rdvisable, and perhaps some additions
either to the internal revenue list or to
the tariff list which will bring us a
larger income.
Nevertheless, the anxiety which the
reported remarks of Senator llanna
have occasioned of itself shows how in
tense is the desire that, for a time at
least, business and commerce be per
mitted to continue undisturbed by any
tariff legislation, upon the path which
'he amazing figures furnished by the
bureau of statistics shows to be one
of unprecendented prosperity.
It was noticed in the campaign which
has just been ended in this state that
in none of the resolutions, either of the
state or of local conventions of the
democratic party, was there any ref
erence to the issue which Cleveland
made preeminent in both of his admin
istrations. Not a word was said about
the tariff in resolution nor upon the
stump. The question was not ignored
as a matter of policy, but it was treated
ns an issue that had been determined
and that belongs now to history rather
than to the present administration of
the government.
The only democrat in the campaign
who did speak of the tariff question
was Abram S. Hewitt, and he stated
two or three times that as a question of
policy or of expediency the view which
he for many years took, and which was
preeminently the view of Cleveland in
his first administration respecting the
tariff had been, in the light of new con
ditions and of trade expension, ren
dered obsolete.
Hewitt is understood to be of the
opinion that the American people have
accepted as final the principle em
bodied in the Dingley law, and will con
sent to no modification of it until pos
sibly after experience in the adminis
tration of colonial governments it may
be found expedient to modify it in
-ome respects.
Roswell I\ Flower is confirmed by re
cent experience in the view which he
took a year ago. flow-ever much the
Chicago platform of the democratic
party may have displeased him. he dis
covered in it. or rather out of it. some
thing which gave him the greater,
gratification, and that was that forth'
first time in many years the party had
subordinated the tariff question.
Flower is now of the opinion that
any man who is in business or who
depends upon the income or labor of
others for his support, who would ad
vocate any change in the tariff laws,
should have a conservator appointed
ever him as a person of unsound mind.
lie thinks that business has now
thoroughly adjusted itself to the rev
enue legislation and defies anyone suc
cessfully to refute that statement in
view of our trade experiences, and espe
cially our foreign commerce of the past
year.
In that view other democrats who
were once conspicuous as ardent fol
lowers in the footsteps of Cleveland,
now agree, and it is even observed that
at the Iteform club, whence a few years
ago went forth in the form of millions
of pamphlets the gospel of practical
fiee trade, there is no longer any vi
vacity or especial interest in public
qiiestions. and the club has lapsed into
the luxurious lethargy of a purely so
cial organization.—N. V. Letter in Phil
adelphia Press.

A YEAR OF PROGRESS.
Contldrnee In the It •-pn 111 Iran Trade
l'olloy Ilaa llrouiflil Urrnl
I'ruapt-rlly.
Part of the story of the wonderful
commercial development of the United
States during the past calendar year is
told in the weekly trade review issued
by Dun & Co. Most of the story is fa
miliar to our readers.
Not only have all previous records
been eclipsed in the foreign trade of
the country, but they have been broken
by prodigious figures. During the past
twelve months the value of the exports
has exceded those of any previous 12
months by almost $300,000,000. a r _d the
value of the exports and imports com
bined is greater by about $100,000,000
than in the previous banner ytar of
1892. Furthermore, during the year
just closed, the balance of trade in our
favor reached the enormous total of
$017,000,000, against $357,000,000 last
year. In only two other years d:d the
balance in our favor rise to $300,0* 0,000.
Never before this year did the imports
of gold exceed the exports by Srj.OOO,-
000. During the year just closed the ex
cess of gold imports over the exports
reached the enormous total of sl4."' 000,-
000. Not only have we paid big debts
we owed abroad, but we are now lend
ing so much money in Europe that the
foreign bankers are looking to New
York to fix the rate of exchange. Thus
have we been released from the "domi
nation of the European money kings,"
which has been the burden of populis
tic comp'aint, and the United States
can to-day be counted as an independ
ent nation in a financial, as well as
many other senses.
The triumph in financial affairs, says
the trade review, is largely due to in
dustrial progress. For the first time
in the history of the country, the ex
ports of manufactured products have
exceeded the imports of manufactures,
that excess in iron and steel products
alone amounting to about $74,0'0,000,
and industrial activity is noticeable
everywhere, mills and factories run
ning now as they have.s-eldom been op
erated before.
When it is remembered that all this
industrial and commercial progress has
come during the year in which the
United States has fought and won a
foreign war, and on the heels of a long
and disastrous panic, the people ought
to be convinced that the result due
in a great measure to the policies that
have been inaugurated and maintained
by the party that was entrusted with
the control of the government by the
voters at the election of 1890, and which
will assume complete control cf all
branches of the government when the
next congress- begins business, one year
hence. When the merchants and manu
facturers of a country have confidence
in the financial and industrial policy
that is in force, and the farmers are
getting a fair return for their toil,
there is bound to be prosperity, and
such prosperity should continue as long
as the conditions remain favorable. —
Cleveland Leader.
RESUMPTION OF GOLD.
I ttlinate Hmult* of the Bound Money
Aet of the Ke|<ublican*
In 1M75.
From January 1, 1870, onward to this
hour, every dollar of the country's eir
eu I#medium —greenbacks, national
lank totes, Bland dollars, Bland cer
tificates and all other sorts of currency
—has been worth everywhere in the
United States 100 ceuts in gold. This
was tihe immediate effect of the gold te
smnption act. Now for some of the
act's other consequences. The banks,
the national treasury and the country
at large have a far greater amount of
gold now than ever before. The clear
ances of the country's railroads, the
output of the country's textile and
metal manufactories and the sum total
of the country's business interests and
activities are greater than at. any time
in the past. In the year just ended we
have sold more goods abroad thonKng
lard, thus taking tihe primacy in that
particular heretofore held by that state.
Xew York, in the past few months, has
passed London in the extent of its im
ports and exports and in the amount ef
its business transactions, and the
world's monetary center is shifting to
tins side cf the Atlantic. The country's
social and political prestige among the
nations of the world was never so high
in tihe past as it is now. The prosperity
and general well-being of its people
never before reached the high mark
which it touches at this moment. The=<?
art some of the ultimate effects of the
act which the republican party placed
upon the national statute book in 187.1
and which went into operation in 1873.
Here are a few of the reasons why tihe
law which began its work 20 years ago
constitutes the greatest date mark in
the financial and business history of the
United States. —St. Louis Globe-Demo
crat.
ICT'That doughty warrior. Col. Bryan,
is now opposing the increase of the
army. One cause for his opposition is
th-is: "The army is the impersonation
of force. It does not deliberate, it acts;
it does not deuide, 'lt executes; it does
not reason, it shoots." ilow does Col.
Bryan know all this? He did not act.
He did not execute. He did not shoot.
He only resigned. It might also be
urged, though it is not specially to the
poiut. that he does not deliberate, does
not deoide. and does not reason. Col.
Bryan only incessantly talks.—Chica
go Tribune.
t£3"With his resignation from the
army and return to civil life, Pryan, •!
he be wise, will take down his neglected
Shakespeare and read that "in peace
there's nothing so becomes u man as
modest stillness and humility." There
is little hope of Bryan's "stillness and
humility." He will goon talking more
copiously than ever, but ought to find
the hole of a new political issut to bark
into. —N. Y. Tribune.
A TRIBUTE TO DEWEY.

Comlm-I.
New York, Jan. 13.—Maj. Alphonse
Yon Sonnenburg, the German military
expert who was at Manila «1 the
blockade by the United States navy
after the battle of Cavitfc, and who is
now in t.his city, speaking yesterday
about Hear Admiral Dewey said:
"There were never any honest diffi
culties bet ween Dewey and the <ier
niau admiral, Yon Diederieh; there
was only a theoretical difference about
the interpretation of one word in the
expression 'droit de visile*—the right
of search. That was the meaning
•visite,' for the forms of search were
different towards different "Kinds of
vessels, to ward 8 merchantmen and
ships of war. Hut after tlie friendli
est exchange of letters by the two ad
mirals an understanding was at once
reached. To show you the spirit that
was in it, I will tell you that the
American squadron once received sup
plies of frozen mutton, and your ad
miral sent Admiral Von Diederieh a
present of half a sheep. The other re
turned the compliment by sending
Dewey a living calf, procured some
where in the islands. You see how
stupid it is to think they wanted to
begin shooting at each other.
"The Knglish," Maj. Von Sonnen
burg continued, "were at the bottom
of this story of a misunderstanding.
All that the Knglish in Manila could
do to create suspicion and trouble be
tween the two countries tliey did.
They sent false stories to Ilong Kong,
which from there were telegraphed
over the whole world.
"Here is another example of
•Treat broiul-mindedness of Admiral
Dewey. When the consuls of various
neutral countries became frightened
for fear Manila would he bombarded,
the German eonsill went to Dewey at
Cavite and asked if he had any objec
tions to chartering Spanish steamers
tTlen lying in the river I'asig. placing
on board the neutral refugees and an
choring those vessels in between the
neutral warships. Dewey answered:
'Well, why not? I do not make war
against women anrt children.' Kven
the Spanish non-combatants were
granted this privilege."

Willi Itulll lo Wool Walllllailtircr*.
Boston. .Tan. 12.—The annual meet
ing of the National Wool Manufactur
ers' association was held here Wednes
day. Secretary North's report was an
exhaustive review of the year. "With
all classes of .mills." he said, "it nas
been a year of small business, of much
anxiety and often of hardship and em
barrassment. The chief exceptions
have been in mills where large orders
for the army and navy have been ob
tained, but the extraordinary demands
of the government have failed to ex
ert any such influence upon the mar
ket as would ordinarily have followed
them. The number of failures and
assignments in the wool manufacture
have been larger probably than in any
previous year since the panic of IS".
"These many disasters among wool
en mills are not due merely to the bad
business conditions of the current
year. They are the culmination of a
series of years of short business at
less than living prices. In the year
and a half since the m*w tariff became
operative iyiports have been the
samllest in quantity for sft years and
not of a character to disturb the mar
ket for staple goods. The year's ex
perience has ao-ain sharply raised the
question whether it is not possible by
concerted action to enforce some rem
edy for the vicious methods of busi
ness which have crept into the trade.'"

Washington. Jan. 14. —Hon. Nelson
Dingley, of Maine, leader of the re
publican side on the floor of the house
of representatives, died here last night
at 10:30 o'clock of heart failure result
ing from extreme weakness due to
pneumonia. He was unconscious dur
ing most of the day, and death came
quietly without consciousness being
regained. There were present at the
time Mrs. Dingley, Miss Kdith Ding
ley, Messrs. K. N. and A. H. Dingley,
Rons of the deceased; James C. Hooe,
an intimate friend of the family; Dr.
Dcale, one of the physicians who has
been attending him throughout his
illness, and the two nurses. To within
a few hours before his death the fam
ily firmly believed, as it has through
out his illness, that Mr. Dingley would
recover.
Mr. Dingley's illness dated back to
December ~".i. when he complained that
he was not well. The physician diag
nosed his case as one of grip, and cau
tioned the patient to keep to his room.
The following Saturday pneumonia
developed in the left 1 uncompli
cated with great irregularity of the
heart.
The funeral will be conducted in the
house of representatives on Monday
next. At 4:20 in the afternoon the
funeral part\ will leave for Lewiston,

services will beheld at the family res

The interment will be in that city.
Nelson Dingley, jr., governor of
Maine in 1574-7.">, and member of con
gress from the Second congressional
district of Maine since
in Durham. Me., February 15, IS3?. the
son of Nelson and Jane Lambert Ding
ley. In 1554 his parents moved to Au
burn. At 17 he taught a winter school
in the town of <'hinn, 14 miles from
home, and he continued to teach win
ders while fitting for college.
Kntering Waterville college (now
Colby university) in ISSI, he remained
there a year and a half and then he
came a student at Dartmouth college,
from which institution he was gradu
ated in isr.s with high rank. After
leaving college Mr. Dingley studied
law in Auburn, and was admitted to
the bar. Instead of entering upon the
practice of law. h<- decided to become
a journalist, and in 1556 he purchased
the Lewiston Journal.
In ISGI In- was elected representa
tive from Auburn to the state legisla
ture, in which body he at once took
high rank, was re-eleeteil several
times and was speaker of the house in
In 1 sTr? Mr. Dingley was nominated
as the republican candidate for gov
ernor of Maine and was elected by
about majority. In 1574 he was
re-elected.
He actively participated in the presi
dential campaign of 1876 and in
was nominated by the republicans of
the Second congressional district to
till the vacancy in congress caused bv
the resignation of Hon. William I'.
Frye. lie was elected 'by a majority
of over 5.000.
When he entered congress he was
made a member of the committee on
banking and currency, serving there
eight years. At the beginning l of his
congressional career the country was
disturbed on the question of the ex
tension of national bank charters. He
immediately identified himself with a
bill for the extension of the charters
of the banks and in the face of much
opposition helped fight the bill
through.
Hut it is difficult to name any im
portant legislation in congress of the
last 1.1 years with which he was not
identified. Ilis first speech in congress
was made April ISS2. on "protec
tion to American shipping." While lit
had been active in financial matters
be was thoroughly informed on ship
ping. having come from a state with
large shipping interests.
iMr. Dingley was not an orator. He
lacked the physical presence, the de
velopment of throat and chest and
quality of voice which make, men ora
tors. None the less all the members
listened when he arose to speak. He
had ft wonderfully lucid way of as
serting facts, going at once to the
heart of every contested point, lie
also had a remarkable faculty of pre
senting an argument. His mind was
logical to the highest degree.

THEY WANT TO TELL
Those Grateful Women Who Have
Been Helped by Mrs. Pinkham.
Women who have suffered severely
»nd been relieved of their ills by Mrs.
Pinkham's advice and medicine ara
constantly urging' publication of their
statements for the benefit of other wo
men. Here are two such letters:
Mrs. LIZZIE BEVERLY, 258 Merrimao
St., Lowell, Mass., writes:
" It affords me great pleasure to tell
all suffering women of the bene fit I have
received from taking Lydia E. Pink
ham's Vegetable Compound. Icanhard
ly find words toexpress my gratitude for
what she lias done for me. My trouble
was ulceration of the womb. I was un
der the doctor's care. Upon examina
tion he found fifteen very large ulcers,
but he failed to do me good. I took sev
eral bottlesof Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound, also used the Sanative
Wash, and am cured. Mrs. Pinkham's
medicine saved my life, and I would
recommend it to all suffering women."
Mrs. AMOS TnoMBLK*.r, Ellenburgh
Ctr., N. Y.. writes:
"I took cold at the time my baby
was born, causing me to have milk
legs, and was sick in bed for eight
weeks. Doctors did me no good. I
surely thought I would die. I was al
so troubled with falling of the womb.
I could not eat, had faint spells as
often as ten times a day. One day a
lady came to see me and told me of the
benefit she had derived from taking
Lydia E. Pinkham's medicine, and ad
vised me to try it. I did so, and had
taken only half a bottle before I was
able to sit in a chair. After taking
three bottles I could do my own work.
I am now in perfect health."
