Ax arrangement, was concluded at "Washington cn last Siturdiiy afternoon by which the tarriS bill will be laid aside for a week or ten days, and the House will proceed to the consideration of appropriation bills. It is the under standing that this proposition was made by Mr. Mills to allow an opportu nity for the Republicans to reach an understanding regarding his proposi tion to take a vote upon tbe tariff bill and th'3 Republican substitute without amendments. Here is a simpie of British injustice to Ireland. A Scottish authoritly, Mr. S.

"The effacement of arrears," he maintains, "would have settled every case in Ireland in which the p.an of Campaign has been adopted, bnt the wisdom of our rulerj has de creed that while arreirs are nnjust in Scotland they are jus: in Ireland, acd political opponents are to be teat to pri son If they say at public meetings that wba'- !s right in Souther!ar.d or Skye is f qually right in Ktir or Clare."

Upon taking the chair Mr. Ilecsel spoke briefly of the prospects of the Democratic patty, after wbicb the Secretaries and other subordinate officers of tbe tempos rary organization were made permanent officers of the Convention. Ex-Senator William A. Wallace was elected Permanent Chairman. Upon being conducted to tbe chair, Mr. Wallace made a strong and telling address defloiog the issues before the people after which tbe committee on resolutions made their report. TUB PLATFORM. The revision of the tariff laws is nec essary with a view to their simplifica tion, the correction ot their incongrui ties and inequalities, the regulation of duties In such maoner as will put American industry on a firm and per manent baa Is by covering tbe difference between wages In this country and in foreign countries, the abolition of the taxes on raw materials for manufactur ers and tbe relief of the people from useless and onerous taxes and from ex tortions by trust and monopolies con trolling the prices of the common nec essaries of life ; that to this end and that labor maybe the more effectually protected in tha enjoyment of its earn ings and in steadiness and continuity of employment, we give our most hearty acd most emphatic indorsement to the recommendations ot President Cleves land's last annual message to Congress, and as in line with the principles laid down in that message, we com mend to Congress the prompt adoption of the revenue bill reported from the Committee on Ways and Means, and urge the Democratic Representatives in Congress from this State to give it their earnest and undivided support. That we denounce the prevalent abuse of corporate power, the formation and operation of trusts, combinations and monopolies, all of which interferes with and limits tbe natural and inalienable rights of the individual, and we pledge ourselves to secure tbe remedies and to apply tbe same with due regard for all interests of the community. Tbe remainder ot the platform treats ot public lands for actual settlement by citizens of tbe United States ; seta forth that the surplus in the Treasury should be applied to the public debt ; tbat tbe Democratic party favors just and liberal pensions, and so on. One ot the reso lutions instructs "the delegation this day chosen to cast Its united yote for the re-nomination of President Grover Cleveland." Hons. Lewis C. Catsldy, W. L. Scott. C.

A telegram announcing his comiuatioa will God him enjoying to tbe fullest extent the beneQts of a high protective tariff as dispensed at tbe nands of a millionaire manufac turer, and it does cot require the son of a prophet to guess, that be will accept the nomination and sail for home, more fully impressed than ever with tbe con viction, that a tariff tbat will make Andrew Carnegie richer and his woik tnen poorer is one ot the blessings tbat the g. o. p. should struggle for.

In truth, with a very few notable excep tions, such as tbe foolish reply to Mr. Cox. tbe discussion bas, throughout its entire course, been marked by dignity as well as ability, and has proved a fit ting prelude to a national carvaas in which principles will play a greater part than personalities, and the result of which will record tbe calm and deli ber ate reaffirmation by tLe American peo ple of tbe verdict for booest. simple, economical, enterprising and self- respecting Federal Administration that was recorded tn ri3vercDr. iss-L Mr. Carlisle and Mr. Reed are types of the Democracy and Republicanism of onr day. They are both men of high culture, keen intelligence, rice political experience acd forcible address. But tbe contrast between tbem is eveu stronger than tbe similarity. The Democratic Speaker delights in the appeal to reason based on the rock of principle, and ris ing tier on tier with increasing grace ot Illustration nntil tbe symmetry of bis completed address delights tbe imagin ation a tully as tbe solidity and force of his premises attract the reason of his auditors. Tbe Republican leader directs his abilities to tbe work of convincing bis fellow partisans that the interests of the country, bnt, above all. those of tbeir party, are at stake. II is ratiocina tion is from the particular to the gene ral, not like Carlisle's, from the general to tbe particular. Reed's appeal is such as this : "Tbe bill affects you and your constituents financially and politically. The enterprises that have secured yoor election and must sustain the Republi can campaign are for high protective tariff, as tbe Republican party bas cre ated it and must defend It. The readi ness ot our people to bear the burdens of the war saved the Union and gave rise to tbe present tariff. You must stand ov it and the memories of tbat struggle." Carlisle's Democratic thesis and it exposition proceed on a far different line. He argues : "Unnecessary tax ation is unjust taxation. The whole people mus', cot be burdened for the benefit of a few. A great surplus is a monstrous danger that no monarchical country could endure. Its continuance is against tbe Interests of tbe whole and threatens the liberty and pros perity of every citizen. Wt must de stroy the rurplus by ceasing to collect what the Government can only take to waste. Iu doing this we must so man age as to Inflict tha least possible in jury on individuals or special interests tbat have vested privileges fostered by law, but above all, we must respect, protect and promote the interests of tbe whole people. Let not the epitaph of this Congress be 'While leaders wran gle, the people mourn.'" The people are with Carlisle for pop ular rights acd the common welfare, for tbe duty of lbs present and assured hope of grandly growing prosperity through a long future of fraternal har mony. They are against Reed, tbe re surrection acd prepetuation of buried discords of tbe past and tbe continu ance of excessive public burdens for the sake or Inordinate private gain. X. Y. Star. The Tiirate Pension abase. The custom of passing privste pen sion bills as practiced by Congress of late has imposed a new and certainly unnecessary duty upon the President that of iuvestigatiuir each case to find out whether the applicant has not al ready b?en pensioned, or whether there is any substantial claim upon which a lension could be justified. More than one instance bas occured in which pri vate pension bills have been dn plicated, and still others in which It could cot have been possible tbat a majority of both booses would have voted for tbe bills if they bad known the fact?. The present rule in the case of pri vate pension bills appears to be tbat they are prepared by profesalona pen sion agents and placed In the hands of complaisant members, who introduce tbam without knowicg nything of their merits or demerits. Thay ate ground through the com mi tees in batches with out consideration ot any kind in many cases, and placed upon their passage at a time set apart for the consideration of private bills. Scarcely a scote of members are present on such occasions, and the bills are called off by tbeir titles and recorded as passed, though no quorum be present and no vote is taken, if a new member with an old fashioned notion that bills should be voted on insists upon a call of tbe House, he is bowled down as a med dling disturber of orderly Congression al procedure. Fortonataly tbe country la blessed with the services of an Executive who will take tbe trouble to give each bill the consideration tbat Congress did not give it. If tbe President were a man less painstaking and careful than be is the raid of tbe hungry pension agents npon the Treasury would be something fearful. But it is very discreditable to Congress tbat it should expect the President to perform tbe duties assigned to it, acd then fled fault with bim. besides, for doing what its membezs neglected to do. Phila. limes. Sot a Penalty let. Not a penalty under tbe Interstate Commerce law has so far been visited upon a railroad corporation. And yet there have been numerous Infractions of the statue and many are constantly occurring. Complaints ot uoderbilling have been filed and are pending against at least a ilpun companies. A special bill bas been introduced in Cocgress to meet Ibis evil, but it is not clear that it is cecefsarr, since it is a perfectly patent form of discrimination wbich is supposed to be provided tor in tbe act creating tbe Ioteistatw Commerce (Com mission ard defining its powers. It, is an open secret that in the mat ter of passes tbe law is flagrantly dis rerarded perhaps more so in the West than in tbe East. Tbeie need be no difficulty whatever in establishing spe cial Instances of the kind, as tbe recipi ents of these favors take uo pellicular pains to conceal the truth. The only persons permitted to receive interstate passes under tbe law are railroad offi cials and employees, and tbe companies may exchange such tickets with each other. The limit is very imperfectly observed. Tbe Commission has done a great deal of good and :s proving Itself a valuable institution. But it is time that the ofeuding companies were re minded tbe law is not a ded letter In the respects noted. The infliction of a few fines would have a salutary effect, and it j well that they should be im posed before tbe growing abuses go auy tuither. Tbe principle in tbe law is one of great importance. It applies to to vast interest tbe care or which must r extended, bot neglected. -V. Y. Star. la (-aaB4la laiearable. Read ibe following : Mr. C II. Morris. ewm.

The latest batch of vetoes of private Densioa bills illustrates, as tbe preced ins? vetoes did. tbe evil tendencies of aucfc legislation. They are either to meet cases of individual suffering and want, with wbicb the Government bas no concern, unless it be accepted as its dutv to be the almoner of a cever- ending system of charity, or are at tempts at Impudent frauds. Take tbe case of Wm. II. Ilester, who claims that while be was in tbe service in 1369, he encountered a sand storm aod tbe sand blew into bis eyes to such a degiee as to result in nearly if not quite total blindness. Tbe House Committee wbich Investigate! tbe case conceded tbat ibe claim made by this man to the Pension Bureau was largely sopported by perjury and forgery, but they tried to saddle the responsibility upon three rogues and scoundrels, who undertook to obtain tbe pension, and to bold the claimant himself innocent of anv complicity in tbe frand. The evi dence, however, leaves no excuse for so charitable a theory. A Mr. Baldwin, one of Hester's witnesses, who was al leged to have cared for him when bis eyes were injured, declares tbat be never saw any sand storm and never knew tbat Ilester had bad eyes, or was anything but sound and well at anv time, except once when he had eaten too much. Mr. Baldwin was shown an affidavit purporting to be made by him and sustaining Hester's story, wbicb be declared to be false and a forgery. Tbe President declares, with pardonable severity, that be believes this claim for pension to be a "fraud from beginning to end." and be adds a suggestion which ought to be heeded when he says that 'the effrontery with which it has been pushed shows tbe necessity of a careful examination of these cases." Such a case la an insult to every deserving pen-1 sioner and a humiliation to every soldier. Another illustrates mistaken notions largely prevalent as to tbe duty of the Federal government to care for tbe needy or unfortunate. This is the case of Mm. Sally A. Randal, of Nor wich, Conn. Mr. Randall died in 1S73. 20 years after tbeir marriage ; be bad never served in tbe army. But this was tbe woman's second marriage ; her first hnsband was Antlp Tabor, who un listed in the war of 1S12 and died in 1S31. No claim is made that be received acy injury in the army, or that bis death was in tbe slightest degree related to bis military service. His wife was born during bis time of enlistment, and ber first widowhood bad no connection with any incident or condition of health traceable to bis service. But Mrs. Ran dall is cow seventy-five years old, in poor health, and in needy circumstances. The idea occurred to somebody tbat the Jtederal government might bs made to assume her support, on the ground tbat Mr. Tabor, who died nearly C0 years ago. bad served i n the army 75 years ago. "Prominent citizens" were readi ly induced to sign a petition for the ap plication of a small slice ot the surplus to this purpose. Probably everybody who voted for it would bave admitted tbat it was. as tbe President says, "a bad precedent," but Mrs. Randall ap pears to be a worthy woman, and it was much easier to assent to giving hersup port from the treasury at Washington than to refuse the pension and tell the truth about the matter, as the President does in this sentence : "All this cer tainly commends ber case to the kind ness and benevolence of tbe citizsus mentioned, and the Slate of Connecti cut ough. not to allow ber to be in ne dy ci rrnmst aneea. ' These are sample cises of the princi ples oa wbich the President uses tbe veto power. It is in the interest of an honest pension system and meritorious pensioners that abuses should be rigidly guarded against. As it is there is hard ly a locality in a Northern S'ate bnt can furnish illustrations of pension abuses and wrong, tbat make the nation's bounty a matter of ridicule and re proach. Pitbslurg Port. Immigrationfrom Foreign frauds. The action of the Austrian authori ties in?supping emigrntion shows that the Governments of Europe have begun to feel sensibly the drain upon the.r able-bodied and industrious populations. Iustead of sending tbe paupers and criminals, as bas been bo frequently al leged, the youthful, vigorous and self reliant people of Austria are coming here in order to escape millitarv conscrip tion, as well as to better their condi tion under the advantages ot free Institutions. There is no doubt that emigration from Germany and Austria bas been greatly stimulated by steamship com panies,as in the case of tbe Anchor Line, two of whose agents bave been ar rested for abducting Hungarian peas ants liable to mllltaiy service. As these agents are Austrian subjects, tbat Gov ernment will deal with tbem in its own way for enticing Its arms beariBg in habitants to leave their country ; but tbis Government cannot afford to dis courage such a class of immigration. The Urge batches of paupers and crim inals recently landed from Italy consti tute quite a different element, and sbonld to sent back as fast as tbey may tou:h these shores. By compelling steamship companies to carry back, at tbeir own expense, theee undesirable human cargoes they acd tbeir emigra tion agents in Europe will be made more cautious and circumspect in con ducting their business. The existing laws of tbe United States, if vigorously and intelligently enforced, would be adequate for the protection of tbe countrv from any systematic impor tation ot hordes of paupers aod crimi nals of whom European Governments rosy be desirous of ridding themselves. For strong, healthy and fconegt immi grants there is ample room in this vast country, under such industrial condi tions as would permt everv man to freely dispose of the products of bis io dus'ry in tbe open markets of tbe world. While the existing policy or this Gov ernment encoursges immigration of labor, it violently obstructs at the same time the distribution of industrial pro ducts, and hence tbe strikes, the lock outs and the prevailing norest in many departments of American industry.

Tbe great floods lo tbe Mississippi valley, wbicb will be re membered as without a precedent la the de struction aod Buffeting created. Is slowly aia ting. A trip through the submersed regions shows that tbe storios ot loss and suffering already published have not been exaggera ted in tbe least. From tbe northern end of Adams county to tbe southern end ot Pike county tbe land on tbe Illinois side ot tbe river was protected by a system of levees, tbe region embracing 2M.000 acres, the soil being tbe richest In tbe Stale. All tbe re gion is now one vast lake from six to ten feet in depth. Owing to tbe great confusion it Is impossi ble to obtain detailed losses, but tbe aggre gate will reach fully f3.0O0.otK) Iroru crops alone. Damage to levees, bouses and rail roads will approximate K00.00t). Reports received to day record the drown ing of Samuel Moore by the floods in the Indian Grove levee district, and of two children of William Johnson In the Sny dis trict. Two families living in tbe Sny dis trtct are unaccounted for and no trace ot them can be found. It is probable that many fatalities will be recorded when all lie facts regarding the flood are fully known. Much sickness prevails among the destitute people from the inundated districts, but the relief committee of Quincy are render ing every possible assistance to those in distress.
