MONDAY EVENING, JAN. 29. 1883.
Net Very Ingenuous.
The national Heuse efltepresentatives
was disturbed en Saturday by the state
ment of Representative McKinley that
the Southern planters, who loudly ob-
. j i . m . zrc enffnn iiea lrmrrlit
jecieu tome u&iiu. u -"' -(,-
their ties for three or four cents a pound 01
and sold them te the Yankee cotton
spinners for ten or eleven cents. .Mr.
McKinley thought that while they en
joyed this profitable speculation it would
be advisable for them net te complain
of the hardship of a high duty en cotton
ties te protect their Northern manufac
turers. JJut Representative Aiken and
ethers flatly denied that the planters get
anything for the iron ties with which
their cotton nates are ueu. a mk
land manuiacturers in the Heuse were
called upon by Mr. McKinley te cor
roborate his statement, and they de
clared that the cotton was paid for
by the Xcw England mills at the
gross weight of the bales, without any
deduction for ties and bagging. Mr.
Aiken said it was net se done in Eng
land, where it was customary te deduct
the weight of the wrappings in paying
for the cotton ; and he insisted that
neither did the American manufactuier
pay for them. Manifestly if Mr. Aiken
is right about the English practice, it is
improbable that the Yankee manufac
turer, who is reputed te be quite as sharp
at a trade as anybody, suffers himself te
be beguiled into paying eleven cents for
what costs but four cents. Yet the
statement of his congressional repre
sentatives that he seemingly does
tiiis must be accepted as true.
But doubtless it isenly in teeming. If
he pays eleven cents a pound for cotton,
bale and all, lie may be assumed te take
the weight of the comparatively worth
less bagging and lies into the amount in
fixing the price of the cotton. Cotten
sells at close figures, and an eighth of a
cent often appears in the quotations. A
manufacturer who buys :i four bundled
pound bale for eleven cents, perhaps cal
culates that lie is paying say eleven and
:i quarter cents for the cotton. Knewing
that he gets some twenty-three pen mis
of bagging and ties, which is of little
value te him ; while the Knglish manu
facturer, who lakes off the tare and pays
only for the net weight of the cotton,
would pay the eleven and a quarter cents
per pound for the bale. Se that Mr. Mc
Kinley and the Northern Representatives
who charged the Southern planlcis with
gouging the. Northern manufacturers
were net very ingenuous in their state
ments, which were true only in their let
ter and net at all in their spirit. It dees
net take much acumen te make, this dis
covery, and it is net very creditable te
the geed sense of Mr. McKinley and
these who billed with him that they
.should think that their deceit fulness
would net be discovered.
Time Te Clese Tiicm.
The Pottsville JlViUs' Jnunnil, a
lending Republican journal of its Motion,
will net be accused of any partisan or
unpatriotic purposes in its? opposition
te a continuance of the orphans sol
diers' schools alter the year l.ss.3,
at which tinm it is eentemplab d
by the existing law that they shall
be closed. They have served a laudable
purpose in their operatien: ami, for I ne
most pait, in curving out their plan
they have b en a gieat credit teli.n
sylvnnia. te her school system and i iht-r
gratitude toward her soldiers. lint bv
18S3 the war will have been closed
twenty years. There can bf no inm ileef
these schools who was net horn four
years after the close of lite war and
whose orphanage is therefore due very
lemetQly te it. The bounty of eni'sta
in this matter has been exceptional, and.
though it has been abused, no right
minded citien is disposed te take ex
ception te what lias been done nor te
what is contemplated by the lav
as it new stands. Hut when it 's
proposed te extend the time for closing
these schools te 1S00, and tespand $1,
,300,000 meie upon them, there is ground
for suspicion that piivate and net public
interests are te be served by ti is
measure. The superintend nl of publie
instruction and of t lies1 schools reports
that by that time theie will be en Un
rolls of these schools, without nnj
further admissions and net countingdis ceuntingdis
charges en order 1,770 children, ami ask)
what i3 te be done about it. Upen li. s
ground, tee, the Grand Arint of the
Republic aeks for the extension of their
timeef closing. Rut this great numbtr
of inmates at this period only proves
the laxity of the law of admission? r
the looseness of its admiiiisti.itien. If
these seventeen hundred childien Khali
for two years mere enjoy pi ivileges fur
beyond these of the. ether children of the
state they will have had all the ad van
tage thut them. It would probably be a
geed thing if thrf state could clothe, feed
and educate all the peer and orphan
children within its limits, but until it
undertakes te de this it should make no
further disci iminatien in lit half of
these of soldiers who died four jea::;
after the close of the war.
Xet Troubled With. Mixle.tj.
Mr. Swank, conductor of the Iren end
Skcl Bulletin, the iron manufacture s'
organ, calls upon the latter te put aside
all modesty and hasten te Congress with
their prayers for protection. It is quite
a new idea te suggest that the iron man
ufacturers have ever been restrained by
a feeling of modesty from urging this
prayer in season and out of season We
de nor. think that modesty in making
their wishes known has e( r been one of
their failings. Mr. Swank, at any rale,
has never shown any. It was he who
primed pig iron Kelly a year or two age
with the wonderful statistics te show that
the. Bessemer steel manufacturers were
net making tee much money when they
were selling their rails at the then ruling
price of sixty dollars a Ien, but which
they new produce at forty and still have
a profit left. The iron people aie net
unduly modest, but they arc a deserving
set of men, te a certain extent. We
want their mills te run and knew they
cannot run them satisfactorily while the
duty en iron is unsettled. What they
need is te have it fixed at once se that
they and their customers will knew -what
they are about.
Congkessienai, funerals, the public
expense attendingthem and the orgies
of committees which accompany them,
have become a subject of general scandal.
The last published report of the clerk of
the Heuse shows a shameful waste
menev en these occasions
and the purchase at the government
expense of a class of articles which indi
cate that the funeral, se far as the visit
ing statesmen contributed te it, was a
spree. Jehn G. Thompson drew and
snent for incidentals en the Garfield
congressional funeral train $8,24-3.41 ;
the expanses of the funeral of the late
Hen. J. Q. Smith amounted te only
5261.0-3 ; of the late Hen. M. V. O'Con
nor te $710, but.this is accounted for by
the fact that no congressional com
mittee accompanied the remains home.
When it came te the burying of lien.
Thes. Allen, M. C, of Missouri, the
congressional committee fairly rioted in
opportunity. $3-30 for coffin and trim
mings. S829 for sleeping cars and trans
portation, and an abundant supply of
scarfs, gloves and hat bands are among
the least unjustifiable of the items ; but
they are materially swelled by liberal
allowances for Apolinaris waters
hams, turkevs and spring chickens,
hotel bills, strawberries at -30 cents a
box, and, most striking of all, " for one
hat lest from car by messenger, $3 oil.'"
It was easy te swell such a bill te nearly
$2,000 te give a member of Congress " a
first-class funeral."
Wi: agiee wi' lithe Harrisburg Ttlc
graph that1' while governors, secretaries,
judges, senators and representatives al
low themselves te rest under obli

seventeenth article will never be en

practical measure well calculated te
abate the abuse the avowed puipese
of the Tclejraph " le interrogate per
sonally each one of the officers of the
state government, the judges of the the
eomas and the members of the General
Assembly, concerning both their practice
and opinions en this head." This is a
proper step as well for the protection of
these who give heed te the constitution
en this point as for the exposure of
these who de net. Seme conscientious
ellicials who decline passes have in times
past suffered unjustly from the general
lepreach attaching le the custom of
stale ellicials accepting them, and it is
fair that they should be relieved. The
Tdnjraph will no doubt meet with some
rebuffs m ils enterprise, but in most
ca.- it will find these who de net take

Tun gloomy predictions of thi impend,
ing extinction of Ameiican fercHts, and
the consequent scarcity of timber, are met
by the assurance that the Australian i.i
pidly stewing tree called the blue gum
tree (Eucalylus glebulus) is leadily a-eli
mated in any lectlity where the lump.ra
ture does net fall below seven degree-,
below zero, and that it may he depended
upon as a substitute for the alow.grewing
ttees that at present furnish our supply of
timber should the dreaded contingency
occur that would make pine costly and
consign oak and hemlock te the category '
of curiosities. The blue gum is said te
grew se fast that in ten years it forms
forests which with ether trees would re
quire a century's growth. There are trees
in Australia fifty years old that are mere
than 22-3 feet high and twenty feet in di
ameter. The weed is hard, tenacious and
durable, and is suitable for ships, bridges,
rail way ties ana all ether purpesb where
great strength and solidity are required.
It takes a high polish, which brings out
beautiful veins in the weed.
The Knights of St. Jehn comprise an
organization who appear te thick mere of
their beer and the tripping measures of
the round dance than they de of priestly
prohibition, though what additional effect
the threat of pains and penalties may have
in reducing them te a humbler spirit re
mains te be seen. The Knights, who are
a German Catholic society, have been went
te iudulge iu festive pleasures where the
foaming beer mug and the sensuous waltz
have been conspicuous. Seme mouths
age the diocesan synod of Wheeling, West
Virginia, where the doughty knights arc
located, published an order forbidding
-rennd" dancing and the sal3 of beer at
entertainments given by Catholic societies
within the syuedical jurisdiction. St.
Jehn's Knights heaid the elder, and
went ou inviting their friends hither and
yen, and providing them regularly with
malt refreshment and the opportunity for
lllttuii;uv.u m iu. uuiulu jl iuu gnuv.,
and the "polka,"' the "ruazeurka" and
the "racquet," and the various ether
features of Tcpsicherean amusement famil
iar te young folks who regard the cotillion
of their fathers as eutirely tee old-fashioned.
Hut while the Knights and their
followers were di inking beer te their
hearts' content and tripping the light
fantastic most energetically, the bishop
was fulminating a bomb which was hurled
among the Knights yesterday, in the
shape of a h-tlcr that was read in the
churches of the Wheeling diocese
comminuting all Catholics te quit the re
bellious society before the 1st of March,
upon pain of excommunication. Here's a
pselty kettle of fish, but the chances aie
that the prelate's severe discipline will
have its due effect and the busy spigot
and squeaking fiddle find their eccupa

RESIGNATION OF FRENCH MINISTHY.
Constructing a New Cabinet Anarchy
Threatened in ine Tewnw jfrlome
and Foreign News.
The French ministers met at the Elysee
yesterday morning and tendered their res
ignations. President Grevy considered
the subject for several hours, when he
accepted the resignation of the ministers.
He then summoned MM. Falliercs and
Jules Ferry for the purpose of conferring
with them in regard te the formation of a
new ministry. At a cabinet council the
ministers decided te accept the compre
mise between the government and the
committee of the chamber of depu
ties en the question of excluding
pretenders, based upon M. Fabre's
proposal, which is a reproduction of
the government bill with the additional
clause prohibiting pretenders froei cser
cising the elective function. Admiial
Jaureguiberry then resigned. General
Billet, minister of war, announced that he
should oppeso the measure, but consented
te remain in offrce provisionally, in order
te avoid a ministerial crisis. M. Fabre
read the report of the cemmittee en the
question. M. Bourgeois (Benapartist)
protested, and moved the previous ques
tion. M. Cunee d'Ornane (Benapartist)
also protested. The previeus question
was rejected by a vete of 9D te 440. Debate
en the vote was frxed for Monday.
M. Duclcrc subsequently declined te
accept M. Fabre's compromise, and in
sisted upon the retention of the govern
ment's proposals in their original form.
He communicated his decision last night
te President Grevy and Ministers Falliercs
and Deves. The resignation of the en
tire ministry followed.
A telegraph from Lyens reports that
the town is iu a State of ferment. It is
rumored that the anarchists intend te

been taken te prevent the anarchists from
carrying out such a design.

Taking into account the unfavorable

large one. The play which is et a class
that has generally wimi te be calltd
" emotional," was ' Mether and '6e-, '

believes him guilty of a crime, while If,
iu the saure spirit of stubborn self-v.il ,
refuses te give an explanation of his deed.
After the first act which is made vivid by
a thrilling curse scene and which leads up
te an exciting clim.lx, the unfolding of
the story develops the reconciliation
that after years of separation is finally
brought about between the elleuded and
suffering mother and her misguided but
humbled seu. The playwright, who we

V. S. Tobacco Journal.
Our market remains dreary and dull.
The only article for which there exists
anything like bona fide inquiry is Connec
ticut, the seceuds and lower grades of
which serve for binders, aud at from 12
te le cents are considered reasonable when
applied te geed cigars, especially these for
which Sumatra is used for wrappers. The
prices at which tine, dark Connecticut
wrappers are held (from 22 te 3e cents)
are au incentive te investors. The large
manufacturer is ue taker of this stock ;
the middle class is ; and as this class is
moderately busy, at least Connecticut
wrappers sell. But for every ether article
in the market net the shadow of an in
quiry existed during the week.
Helders of 'SI Pennsylvania conselo
themselves with that fact. It is neither
the price nor the quality of their stock
that is keeping buyers away from it just
new. The uncertainty of the tax question
is the main cause.
Iu the meantime the '32 tobaccos are
growing into prominence that is, they are
bcrug talked about a great deal; but pack
ers, dissatisfied and d-sceuraged by the
slew and, in the main unsatisfactory, pro
gress of 'Si crop arc riot in a humor te
take held of the '$2 crop. This feeling is
augmented by the knowledge of the gieat
stock of leaf en hand, the competition
with Sumatra tobacco and the prepara
tions for another crej) of no diminished
p.roper liens. Witi.ru a low months the
'S2 crop will be marketable, ami then our
market will offer te trie buyers the unusual
inducement of three crops, viz: 'SO, '81
aud 'S2.
Fer '82 Connecticut seconds a rush is
already being made. Last year the sec
onds weie bought up very rapidly, aud
late comers were compelled te take the
leavings. They evidently wish te be in
time new, and sales ae from 12 te 13
cants are reported from the country.
It ir. ludicrous in the extreme, te see
most of the press in tobacco growing dis
tricts trying te impart hope andconlidence
te their tobacco- handling readers. Some
held out a line spectacle et scores of te
baeee butcrs coming in leaded with
morey te pj-aaee upon the tobacco " as
soerr as soft weather sets irr." Others
premise, new that Sumatra will likely be
taxed heavily, that prices for all tobaccos
will advance with a bounce and a boom.
Net being se well versed in matters
appertaining te tobacco as errr friends of
the country press and having but a faint
knowledge of the market aud the industry
in general, we nope that in saying that all
their talk is moonshine, we shall rret be
judged tee harshly and be dealt with with
leniency and grace.

city, anil rcpeit rapidly spread that they
had come ( n te cei.teft with each ether iu
the puichr.se of the crop of 1832, which
has bt.cn se lung awaiting purchasers. The
buyers made a run through the county,
and the m st of their number ctrne back
w itheut purchasing a pound. They say it
is held by the farmers at tee high a figure.
The price offered it; from 10 te le cents for
wrappers, ai which figures the whole crop
wntil I 'jc readily lifted, but until the
farmers can sec it in that light, the buyers
say they will net touch it. They have the
grcar pa'f of the 1881 crop en hand te
say nothing of large quantities of 1880, en
both of which they either lest money or
had sma'l margin of profit. A buyer who
deal, very ixtftisively told us the ether
day that if any one. werrid take off his
hands his packing of 1881 at first cost, he
would put a $20 greenback in every case,
as a gratuity te the purchaser.
