The I'ittaburtt Lender Hep., says: M'e have no fear of the Mills Dill. Even if it should pass, it ia not going to kill any of our American industries nor se riously affect trade bevond cutting dowii s?i&rhtly the profits of rracufatur ers." How's that ? Judge Wallace, of the U. P. Cir cuit court. New York city, has decided tha Holy Trinity church, in that city, under the alien contract law. must pay a fine of 1 000 for bringing Ref. E. Walpole Warren from England to preach under contract. A?isr.VTcn from Wheeling to the Pittsburg rosi says that ex Governor I. T. Farcsworth, of Upshur county, W. Va., lire-long Republicar, on Mond.w announced his intention to abandon the party of high taxes, and to support Cleveland and Thurman and the Democratic policy. Tins id says the Philadelphia Uirald. the as of the flopper ; but for every Democratic nVpir over to the side of monopoly and tariff rebbery, .ho suc ceeds in grtting himself blazoned forth in public, there are a hundred quiet voters goir.g noiselessly in the other di rection. It's the votes that count, not the uoi.-. thank heaven. The same monopolist who in 1SS4, were going to sell out for what they could get and go out of business, if Cleveland was elected, are now telling how thev will be ruined if they have to live uuder a 40 per cent, tariff. Cleve land was elected and the country has prospered as it never did before and he w ill be re-elected in November and the same fellows who in 14, weregoiDg to quit will be found doing business at the old stand. Tiik Democrats of Michigan, held their State Convention on Thursday of last wei-k at Detroit, and the successful accomplishment of a fusion between them and the Greenbackers will make one of tho hvliest campaigns that has ever been witnessed In thai State. Michigan may now be placed in the doubtful column and as the people of the StaU are strongly in favor o tariff reform tho chances are that its electoral vote will be cast for Cleveland and Tburncan. A samtle of the arrant bjpocrisy of the Republican platform says the Greensburg Jtnuocrat, is po'.nted out by Srnator Reck. The platform calls for a reduction of letter postage to one cent per ounce. A measure of precisely that character was introduced in the Senate some time ago by the Kentucky Senator. The Senate Committee on rostofflces, composed of a majority of Republicans, absolutely refused to rrrmittto bill to be favorably reported. With characteristic assurance their psrty convention now calls for the very reduction which tho Republican Sena tors defeated. The Mills Tariff Bill passed the House at Washington on Saturday. One hundred and fifty-six Democrats, three Independents and three Republi cans. voteJ for the bill, while one hun dred and forty-four Republicans, four Democrats and one Independent voted against I. Since the debate cn the Dill began Lll sp-eches have been made m 120 hours occupying rarta of twenty i Ight days and the debate has attracted the attention of all the thinking people of the country. Th measure will now go to the senate-and upon that body will rest the responsibility, if the till iu not passud. Tiik nomination of Mellville W. Ful ler, of Chicago, to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United Sta.cs was cunCrmei by the Senate on Friday las!, by a vote of 41 to 20. Had it been iH .-sible by the Republicans, led by Senator Edmunds, to iiud anything saiDs:;Ch:ef Justice Fu'ler, his rtj-c-tion would have been made long ago. but delay only resulted ia proving the wis torn of President Cleveland's choice and that personally and professionally the new Chief Justice is eminently worthy of tbe high position to which ho has bteu called. Ten Republican Sena tois, among them both the Senators from this S'ate. rose above- narrow par tKmsitip and votod with their Demo cratic celleatnies fcr the confiruiatiou. The Republican Convention that met Cere on Monday was about as tame an affair as has been witnessed in this quiet town for some time. The question was not who to nominate but rather who would stand the nomination. John M. Rose of Johnstown, and David IL Wil helm of Washington township, were nominated for Assembly unanimously, the first because he was willing to ac cept the nomination and tbe latter, be cause be has been willing and anxious for a number of years to run for any. thing, and for want of better material, this year he was allowed to run. For Sheriff J. C. Stineman. of Sooth Folk, was nominated ovei .L'. V. .Baker, of Susquehanna township. Mr. Stlne man, wai defeated three years ago and has not increased bis popularity In any way since, but he waa willing to ran and that is all that ia required ihis year. His opponent for the nomination, Mr Raker, has got troublesome in the last few years and the managers decided to squelch him. He has had an itching to be a candidate for several years bur. for some reason known only to the inner circle, Baker is not wanted as a candi date, although be has always been an actiye worker in the Republican ranks. Biker can't run under the present man agement and tbe sooner he learns that fact the better it will be for Baker. The office of Toor Director nearly went a begging for a candidate. No one would have the Lomination ana it looked on Monday morning as it that place on the Republican ticket would be left vacant. Several Republicans were interviewed about accepting the nomination but all decliued. At last one of the managers struck on the ex pedient of nominating Captain Thomas Davis, of Ebensburg, mentioning the fact that Mr. Davis waa out in Dakota and, consequently, could not come be fore the convention and decline. The brilliant suggestion was acted upon and Mr. Davis waa nominated very unnnimously. For Jury Commissioner, the only officer that tbey can elect, there were a dozeo aspirants, but with skilful ma nrvering they were all choked off but four, before the convention met. The names of C. M. Harshberger, of Johns town, Daniel Custer, of East Cone maugb, James Sommerville, of Susque hanna township, and Oliver Evans, of Cambria township, were placed before the convention. On the the third bal lot Oliver Evans was nominated. F. II. Barker, of Ebeusburg, was elected chairman and resolutions were adopted endorsing the National and State tickets, declaring Edward Scull their choice for Congressman and John A. Lemon for State Senator. The RepuDt.can daily papers are making a business of publishing notices of Democrats flipping over to Harrison aud Morton. The flappers are always located so far away that no person can tell anything about them, and as it amounts to nothing at best, they are let go. Last week we learned from the Altoona Tribune, that that distinguished Cambria Democrat. Owen Cunningham, had flipped over to Harrison and Mor ton. That item may prove interesting reading to some dyed-in-the-wool Re publican who lives far enough away and who will imagine that the flopping of Owen will make tbe country safe( but to tbe people who know him it wilt raise a smile. Even our Republican neighbor the Herald, in making a note of It admonishes the Republicans of Altoona to Iook a leedle out." In Tuesday's Philadelphia Pres., we notice in the list of fioppers, lion. Samuel Cal vin, of Hollidaysburg. Mr. Calvin, if able to flop at all. Is flopping where be always flopped. In his young days he was a Whiff, was elected a Whig mem ber of Congress and when tbe Whig par ty went to pieces flopped into tbe Repub lican party. He waa always opposed to Democracy and Republican gains of that kind will count for little in No vember. To Mr. M'.U's true statement says tbe New York Worll "we must uodersell our competitors io order to get tbe mar kets of tbe world," a war-tariff organ replies that to do this 'we must pay lower wages to our workman." The United States exported last year over 5:200.000,000 worth of cotton. $12.000 000 worth of bresdstuffs, 540,000.000 worth of "petroleum and 500,000,000 worth of provisions. Are the wages in j thts industries lower than in foreign j coantrirs ? On the contrary, they are ( relatively higher compared with foreign j rates than are the wages ia the chief protected industries in this country. We likewise exported In 1SS7 over $10, 000,000 worth of leather, the raw mas terial of which is free of duty. The wages of tanners and leather-workers are as much higher here than abroad as are the wages io the most thoroughly protected industry. Trie people will un derstand these things before November. Senator Sherman called up and the Senate passed the Dill on Saturday lest, appropriate $1.0.10 000 to reimburse the depositors in tbe Freedman's bank, incurred by the fail ure of that concern a few years ago. As the Freedman's Bi&k was a pri vate corporation, got up for private gain by some of tho headlights of tbe g. o. p. the average tax-parer will fail to discover the reason why the govern ment should step in and make good the toasts to the duped deKsitors. The poor deluded negroes are entitled to ynipittiy for the loss of their money, Lui when they sek to recover it they ought to look. I ke white people, to the piny that plucked tLern. A rei-okt wm circulated the Utter pm nf Inst week, that Congressman S.f.nrl J. lUndall of Philadelphia, who h ts been s-riouslj ill forsoni- time, was ill xteil with cancer of the stomach and that his death must enu from the dis rs, sooner or later. Oa Monday last Drs. Mallun and LiDco n bis attending pt-ysiciaus published the following offi cial statement : "Our attention has been called to a statement In Hie New York World of this morning, to the ef fect that Mr. Randall is suffering from cancer of the stomach. We do not know how such a statement should have arisen. No such diagnosis bas been thought of ty The Xew Tariff. Tbe provisions of tbe Mills bill, as amended and passed bv tbe lower House, do not radically change the general scope of the measure as outlined by U framer in his introductory speech. Tbe fundamental idea or the bill is to promote tbe prosperity of the masses of tbe people without impairing lo any vital part tbe actual protection afforded to any industry in which tbe element of labor enters in just proportion. Raw wool is put upon tbe free list and the duty on the manufactured products bas been decreased only to such a figure as will afford the laborers protection and tbe manufacturers a legitimate margin of profit. Io other words, the duty upon tbe manufactured woolen article more nearly represents the difference between tbe wngea paid io this couotry and abroad. This is so obviously in the interest of consumers, among whom every laborer's family is classed, as to need no explanation to men of impar tial mind. With raw wool free to tbe employers of wool workers it is inevita ble, under normal conditions, that la borers in this department should be more steadily employed. Copper ore, which ia now taxed seven ty per cent., is also placed upon tbe free list. This tax upon a metal which en ters largely into many manufacturers, has been levied for years for tbe benefit of the Michigan millionaires, who have paid their workmen a ridiculously in significant portion of their profits. Tbe sentiment wun regard to tree copper among the Western members outside of the Badger State, was tersely stated by Congressman Brown, of Indiana, who said in the House. "I would make cop per ore free as quick as lightning." This declaration elided marked ap plause, partly because of its apparent jnstice, but more especially because Mr. Brown is a Itepublican and a protec tionist. Manufactured brasses are reduced only five per cent. Into these the ele ment of labor enters more largely, and the duty is well maintained in order that American laborers may be protect ed. With tbe dutv at tbe rate provided In the bill there will be no excuse for any reduction In the wages of the brass workers. Although tbe manufacturers may not make millions in a year they will still have a fair return on capital invested and almost certainly a steadier demand for their wares. Millionaires represent a number of tbe Northwestern States in tbe Senate chamber. Why should they not ? their enormous fortunes were made io the lumber business of their sections, pro tected always by high duties, but paying pitilessly low wages to tbe impoverish ed woodsmen who did the work. Every man wbo bas used a stick or plank in building a home for his wife and little ones has helped to increase tbe fabulous wealth of tbe Algiers, tbe Stockbridges and the Sawyers. If the Mills bill be comes a law lumber will be free, its twenty per cent, duty being stricken off. Bat cabinet and bouse furniture and tbe whole line of manufactures of wood or wood and iron combined, such as cars and carriages, sashes, doors and blinds, boats, etc., are reduced only five per ceut. from the rates in the present tar iff, thus giving to workers in wood a larger measure of protection than at tbe present time. Tbe operators most af fected by the placing of lumber on the free list those of tbe great Northwest have reaped the benefit of our protec tive j stem while actually Hfing hun dreds of Cansdiaa half-breeds aud Indi ans as woodmen at wages lower than thode paid to Hungarians by th pros tected industries of tbe Eastern States. duties not touched. It will be of interest during this cam paign to remember tbe articles upon which the Mills bill allows the dnty to remain uutonched.

Various farm products, hay hoops, barley, cattle, sheep and boss, etc. have, under toe Mills bill, tbe same du ty upon them as uuder the tariff law of 1SS3. The principal reductions are as fol lows : Biasswork, with free copper ore, is reduced five per cent.; carpets, with rree wool, nve per cert.; confectionary. with a twenty per cent.; reduction on sugar, is reduced ten per cent.- woolen galloons, gimps and tassels, with rree wool, sixteen per cent.; woolen hosiery and knitting, with rree wool, twenty three per cent.; cotton umbrellas and parasols, with frames duty free, ten pr cent.; cotton goods (important dyestuffs free), five per ceut.; leather gloves, ten per cent.; brooms and brushes, with free raw mateilals, ten per cent. The average reduction on steel and iron manutactures is slight. Under tbe present law they air sut ject to a dutv of fifty two per cent. The Mills bill low ers this to forty-three per cent. Cutlery is untouched. Lead ores, a raw mate rial, are cut down fifty per cent.; the duty on the manufactured metal being reduced from sixty-eight per cent, to forty-four percent. Horseshoe nails, present duty seventy-six per cent., re duced to forty-eight. Common tools in universal use; Hammers, now sixteen pr cent., to ten; saws, now forty, to thirty; anvils, now thirty-four, t- twen ty five. Dressed stone reoi ins at twen ty per cent. Dressed marble is reduced from fitty-two per cent., the present rale, to forty per cent.; rough or block marble from fifty-three to thirty-two. Cotton cloths , which now bear an average duty of forty-six per cent., are reduced to forty per cent., but the cot ton men have free dyestuffs and chem icals . Cotton thread, used by every woman in the land, now fifty per cent., is reduced to thirty five and forty. Linen thread, now forty, is cjit down to twenty -five. Cables and cordage, now thirty, are reduced to fifteen. Salt is made free ; shingles and laths also. Starch, which in the present tariff bears the monstrous duty ot eighty-two per cent., is cut down to forty-one per cent. Flaxseed and linseed oil, present duty fifty-five per cent., are reduced to twenty-two per cent., at which a hun dred thousand house painters aud sever al million boose owners and occupiers will rejoice. On pottery, despttt the howl that has come from tbe employers, the bill makes an average reduction from fifty-eight to forty per cent., the greater cart of this being on tbe higher grades and china. On many minor ar ticles, necessaries, tbe dutie are reduc ed also, but generally with the eame careful hand and always with a view io lightening tbe burdens now resting upon those who are least able to bear them. "Fostering" Industries. About the most commonly-heard tar iff argument is that if we wish our peo ple to engage in manufactures we must tax the wbole community for those fa vored few in order to eucourage them In their laudable efforts. Does anybody really tbiok that when an industry becomes normally and legit imately profitable that it needs any foe taring?" If eo. let him read the Indus trial history of America. One hundred years ago and more, before the most en lightened nations bad come to even a oiirhr nnrer.iatinn of the fundamental truths of tbe science of political econo my, England endeavored, by penal legislation and force, to prevent the a mrinn ninnies from making iron. And yet. despite the entire absence of taxes of tbe present sort ana in aenance ot law, tbe brave and bardy colonists made iron right in this State of Penn sylvania, the fact being preserved in the names of places wnicn contain ne wora forte." This was the Dirtn or tne mtgbty Infant, the iron trade, now con strained and embarrassed by burdens on its raw materials and itself, under tne name of "Protection." snma neoDle mav obiect to this Illus tration as being too old for present use. If so, one right under their noses and a mncb stronger one. too, can be given. The business of owning and sailing ships on the high seas is one that Amer icana have tried for many years to car ry on, but in which they have been con stantly handicapped by the law of their own country, which forbids them under any circumstances to own and sail a foreign ship under the flag of tbelr na tive land. And, yet, despita mis aoso lute prohibition, American, capital now floats two traosalantlc lines, one under the Belgian, another under the British' flag. American brains laid out tbe business, and to a certain extent Ameri can money built the ships, Dut tne "American policy" is too strongly set against tbe business to permit of this country having tbe credit. This situation is very simple ; the be lievers in high taxes and subsidies affirm that both are necessary to make America what she was in 1S., a great maritime power, l et here we have tbe spectacle of transatlantic lines ran by Americans in defiance of the spirit of their own law withnnt a dollar nf ftnhtridv anil without a cent of "protection," for the simple reason that it is impossible to "protect" the foreign carrying trade. And vet we are cravelv informed bv the taxaliooista that taxes and subsidies are necessary to establish an Industry. I nd uRtries now i nst as men do. and all they need is to be let alone. Americans are not fools. They know their inter ests and do not need anv "paternal" Interference to be taught them. Phila. Jlcrald. Kicking Up a Tariff Dnst. The monopolies that are robbing the people of the United States under tbe cover of highly protective, taxation bave been kicking np a great dust since the passage of the Mills bill through the House, But no man need be deceived by partisan clamor who does tot desire to u deceived. There are three or tour plain facts which may be readily appre hended by any intelligent person, which, taken together, make an argument In favor of tbe Democratic plan of Reve nue Reduction that is absolutely im pregnable : (1) The necessity of Tax Reduction is shown by tbe constant accumulation of money in tbe Federal Treasury in ex cess of expenditure. (2) The Mills bill proposes to cut down tbe revenue about $70,000,000, the reduction to be made on articles of necessity aod raw materials of maBnfac tore helping at one stroke the laborer, tbe employer of labor, and the consumer. (3) The avers? redection of duties proposed by tbe Mills bill would be less than 5 per cent. It would be 5 per cent. less than the reduction made by a Re publican Congress in lfe2. It would be 15 per cent, less than the reduction re commended by the Republican Tariff Commission In 1SS3. The average of du ties proposed in tb Mills bill would be also ?0 per cent, higher than the original war (arm or itz. (4i in co ease would the auties on articles produced in manufacturing in dustries now established in the Doited Mates be so reduced as to make the tax less than the difference in the cost of labor In this and other countries. As against tbe Republican plan of Revenue Reduction by repealing the taxes on whisky, tobacco and oleomar garine tbe Democratic plan would bave the advantage of raising the wages of labor by lessening the cost of living ; of aiding manufacturing industry by cheapening raw materials ; and of con ferring a double benefit in at tbe same time lessening by $70,000,000 the money paid Into the Treasury and benefiting the taxpayers as much more by the con sequent decrease in the prices of arti cle of necessity. That these benefits would b partially brought about by paring down the ex cessive profits of trusts and combina tions will not disturb the composure of the bono and sinew of tbe country. l'hila. Jlecord. Facts for Irishmen. It is a very poor compliment to Irish intelligence which tbe Republicans pay when thev tay Irishmen will refuse to vote the Democratic ticket because of their prejudice against England. How did England destroy Irish industry ? By putting a prohibitory tariff on its products. How are Republicanf seek ing to stiffo American industry ? By putting a prohibitory tariff on its pro ducts. It is not germane to American politics, yel it may be well to expose Republicans deception by stating that England is hot a free trade country. It bas a tariff which produces propor tionately more revenue than the Ameri can tariff, area and population consid ered. France aod Germany and all other European countries bave protec tive tariffs. If Irishmen would really aim a blow at England, let them join with tbe Democrats for the repeal of tbe Republican shipping laws aod see bow quickly American free ships will cot into Ecglaod'a commerce and pres tige. John Boyle O'Reilly, the brilliant and influential editor of tbe Boston Pilot, is zealously supporting tbe Dem ocratic ticket This would seem to set tle the question whether the Irish Americaus will vote for Cleveland and Thurman.

A man applied for a pension at tbe Maine State Agency In Augusta the other day, and being asked on what grounds be thought himself entitled to a pension, answered: "Drunkenness." The aston ished pensioa agent told blm that pensions are only granted for disability contracted In tbe army. "I know that," said the ap plicant. "Drunkenness Is my disability, and I contracted It in the army." On last Friday nlaht a shocking acci dent occurred on No. 3 plane of tbe Lebigh and Susquehanna railroad at Wilkesbarre, Pa., resulting In the death ot an estimable young lady named Mary Sullivan, of Ash ley.

Andrew Swenerut, a blind man. Is a successful farmer seven miles north of Occ nomowoc. Wis., where be bas 110 acres. He bas been totally blind for 38 years, and yet succeeds In doing a great deal of work upon the farm, such as pitching hay and other labor, that one would think would re quire sight. Last week be walked to Occ nomowoc alone for repairs for a machine, covering tbe seven miles in about two hours and a half, and in a short time started for borne. Swarms of crickets bave been ravaging Algeria this year. Tbey fly In clouds so thick as to obscure the sun. Tbe Algerian Government bas expended $150,000 in the effort to exterminate tbe pest, and bas set aside $200,000 in all for the work. Long trenches are dug at right angles to the march of tbe advancing crickets and on the further sides blgh fences of cloth are stretch, ed. The Insects striking against these, fali Into the trenches, and are covered with lime and killed. The rattlesnakes are so thick In tbe im mense huckleberry patch oo Blue Mountain, N. J., that the picker is compelled to wear heavy cowhide boots and a thick leather garment reaching to tbe neck ; bis weapons offensive are a hickory club and a quart of liquid "antidote." Notwithstanding these preventives, several fatal accidents happen yearly. This Is said to be tho roost prolific huckleberry patch in tbe country. Last year 280,000 quarts were shipped from one station alone.

Miss Amanda Ramsey, who was also with them, jumped In to try and save them, and she was also nearly drowned. She went down twice, but managed to grasp a rock and draw herself out. Both bodies have been recovered. Tbe proposed bridge over the Hudson river at New York City Is certainly the mo6t stupendous undertaking of Its kind yet pro posed In this country. The cost is estima ted at $12,000,000, or nearly twice as mnch again as tbe Brooklyn bridge. The bridge proper is to absorb $16,000,000 of this ; the approaches $11,000,000, and tbe land neces sary for the approaches $14,O0C.O00.

He refused to receive any from tbe King aod Queen ot Italy who bad prepared some costly ones ; and they indignantly asked all their rela tives and retainers not to send any.

I., one day last week became tbe mother of a double-beaded child. Tbe freak of nature resembles nothing that tbe physicians wbo bave examined It ever saw before. There are two bodies, with separate internal or gans joined together lengthwise at tbe hips, and each body bas its distinct bead. The bodies have one'pair of arms and hands and one pair of legs, the limbs being perfectly formed. If the monstrosity stood on its feet the body wonld be horizontal, while the legs alone would be upright, the hands appearing from the front of the two bodies where they are joined. The physicians re ported that cne-balf tbe child had died and that the other portion could not live. George Getter, a wealthy farmer living near Carlisle, Pa., eame near being victim ized by three-card monte men latt Friday.

He also won several thousand dollars. At this point be became suspicious and refused to continue; and the visitors, becoming alarmed, fled without completing negotiations for the farm.
