CLERK rlNKERTON HESIONS.
The meeting of tbe committee was a very
boisterous ene; charges and counter
charges were made that tbe blda 'as origin,
ally asked for ey tbe commlltce bad been
tampered with, and that work had been
asked for In tbe printed advertlaement
that the committee bad net authorized.
Alderman rinkerten, tbe clerk of the
oemmlttee, who prepared the advertise,
tment, took this statement aa a reflection en
hi Integrity, and he promptly resigned.
Hla resignation caused an increased hub
bub. Mr. Leng, of the Ninth ward, ac
knowledged that he had added te the ad
vertisement a square of piking for his ward,
thinking It would de no harm. Amid grett
confusion, the committee being without a

papera and declared the , oemmlttee ad

Postmaster Slog showed tbe letter re

declared that tbe dead man waahla ion
who left Marietta, Lancaster county, In

The market for tbe current week waa
anything bnt active In comparison with the
rushing boom of the pastene. Hardly any
transaction of note la te be recorded, aa the
buyer are cm tbe leek-out for the new
aamplea. The busiest people In the trade
are tbe aamplera, who are new masters et
tbe situation; and It will be some weeka
yet before tbe entire new orep will have
passed through the Inspectors' bands. A
lull baa also aet In In Sumatra, aa aalea for
the week were but few. but the Havana
market remained as ateady as ever.
The expert business seems te have taken
a big jump upwards. Tbe Imports of aeed
leaf at Bremen during the past month of
July amounted tc 1,700 against 1,050 eaaea
In July, 1887, while the aalea et aeed laaf
during July of thla year amounted te 1990
cases against 1,090 in July of laat year. The
stock of aeed leaf In Bremen en the 1st
Inst waa 580 caaea against 1,660 easea en
August 1, 18S7. These figures prove net
only that a very large inereaae In the ex.

still larger one la te be expeeted. Prices
for aeed leaf are quoted at Bremen aa fol fel

Frem tbe U. 8. Tobacco Journal.
If Preatdent Cleveland Is new In earnest
te enforce the retaliation policy against
Canada, tbat is te prohibit the shipment e
goods In bend from American ports Inte
Canada,' the elgar manufacture in the
Dominion will have te forego the prestige
of having shipments of leaf made te then
directly from tbe island of Cuba, aa baa
become the faBhlen lately with the larger
manufacturers. They will have te
buy the leaf either right here in
New Yerk, or have It at lcait censlansd
te a New Yerk firm in order te
get 11 though te tbe Dominion In bend.
Worse eO, however, will be the Canadian
dealers In Imported Havana cigars. Tbey
will be compelled either te have an agency
In New Yerk or te buy tbelr Imported
cigars directly from New Yerk Importers,
They may then, however, find out tuat our

A Canadian Trick.
Frem the New Yerk Star,
Many facts are coming te lleht that go te
show hew mueh mere elective will be the
retaliation suggested by tbe president than
that authorized by existing law. Here la
one of tbem :
The Canadians expert larae quantities of
fish te the West lndles. Cuba imposes a
duty et filtyslx cents per quintal en Cana
dian flab, but admits fish 'from the United
States free. Before tbe existing difficulties
began Csnadlana evaded the Cuban duty
by shipping their nh by way et New Yerk,
tbe United Statea at tbat lime admitting
Canadian fish free et duty.
Slnee January. 1S80, because of tbe ter
ruination by President Arthur of "the
treaty of Washington," tbe United States
has again oelleoted duttea en Canadian fish,
and the Csnadlana tell back en their claims
under the treaty of 1816 ; but they proposed
at the same time, te continue tbeenjeyment
of privileges net granted them by tbat
treaty, but allowed tbem, through tbe cour
tesy of thn United States. Thev, therefore,
ailpped fish In bend te New Yerk ler ex ex
eort, and thus etcaped the American duty,
and, aicee their fish waa shipped from New
Yerk, they were admitted te Cuba free, aa
American nsn. uuis was renuerea pessiDie
through the legislation permitting Canada
te transport goods In bend through tha
United Statea without any Interference
from our customs officers.

Beaumont, Gravelotte and Sedan, and have
bad my Imagination clipped In easing theae
battles et many et tha errera It bad run
Inte In ita oenoeptlona et what might be ex
prati d of tbe trained troops of Europe.
Tbare waa about the aame percentage et
eneaks, or runaways, end tbe general een.
dlttea et the battlea ware about the aame
aa our ewa. Oaa thing waa especially
noticeable the scattered oendltlon et tha
men In going Inte battle and their scattered
oendltlon while engaged. At Hravelette,
Beaumont and Sedan the man engaged en
both aldea were ae aeattered tbat It looked
like thousands et men engaged In a deadly
skirmish without any regard te lines or
formation. These battlea ware et this atyla
of fighting, commencing at long range and
might be called progressive fighting, dos
ing at night by tbe Freneh always giving
up their position, or being driven from it
In this way ty the Prussians. Tha latter
bad their own atrategy up te the Moselle,
and It waa geed and auoeeastul. After that
river waa reached tbe Freneh made the
strategy for the Prussians, and It was mere
suoeeeatul than their own. Tbe Prusslsn
soldiers are very geed, bravn fellows, all
young, aearcely a man ever 27 In the flrat
levies. They bid gene Inte eseh battle
with the determination te win. It la
especially notleeabla alee tbat tbe Prus
sians have atUeksd the Freneh wherever
they have found tbem, let the numbers ba
great or amall, and ae far a I have been
abla te see, though the grand taotlea of
bringing en the engagement have been
geed, yet the battles nave been wen by the
Heed, square fighting of the men and
Junier offleer. It la true the Prussians
have been two te one, exeept In one of the
battlea before Metz, that of the 10th et
August; still tbe Freneh hsve bad the ad
vantage el very atreng positions.
Generally speaking, the Freneh aeldlera
have net fought well, It may be because
tbe peer tellewa had been discouraged by
tbe trap Inte whleh their commander had
led them, but I must confess te having
seen some of the "tallest" running at Sedan
I have ever witnessed, especially en the
left of the Freneh position sll attempts te
make tbe men atand scorned te be unavail
ing. Se dlagraeeful waa tbla tbat It eauted
tbe Freneh eavalry te make three or four
gallant but foolish charges, as If It were, te
show tbat there was at least some manhood
left In a mounted French soldier.
I am disgusted : all my boyhood's fanelea
of tbe aeldlera of tbe great Napeleon bava
been dlaalpated. or else tbe aeldlera or tha
"Little Corporal" have lest tbelr elan In tha
Eampered parade aeldlera efi tbe "Man of

and It Is a satisfaction te learn tbat aueh 1

Kx-Senater Jeseph at. MoDenald Measa a
Speech en the Tailffailadlanapeili.
A meeting under tha auaplee et the
Hendrlokaelub, largely attended by citizen
of both political parUe, was held In Indian
apelta In the oeurt room Monday night,
Ex-Senater Jeseph E. McDonald delivered
an addreaa en the tariff. He oensldered
the Mills bill at lengtn and contradleted
tbe ebargea made by tbe Republican tbat
the wool oleesa In tbe bill was framed In
the Interest of tbe Seuth.
Mr. McDonald declared that tne In tare t
of Indiana waa In cheap wool la order te
have ebeap clothing, Hereafter Indiana
would raise sheep for mutton rather tban
for woeL Tbe speaker denied that free
wool would Injure either tbe abeep raiser
or the laborer engaged In woolen mllla;
that en tbe contrary, they would be bene
fited. He dwelt upon tbla point at length,
and Illustrated It by citing the beet and
shoe leather trade, wbleh la doing a large
expert business, but still haa apare manu
facturing capacity, being able te fill all Ita
orders with only eight months' work per
year, and he declared tbat with a slight
reduotlen In tbe oeat of raw material would
enable our manufacturers te build up a
foreign trade sufficient te keep tbelr shops
busy tbe year through.
"It may be safely asserted," the speaker
added, "lust tbe future success of the man
ufacturing enterprises In tbe United States
will turn very greatly upon the questions
of cbesp raw material, obeap plant and
cheap machinery."
Mr. MoDenald criticized the Republican
platform, declaring tbat under It tbe only
reduction of taxation ia tbe repeal et tha
Internal revenue law. He declared tbat
tbe Mllla bill la net a froe trade meaaure,
contreverted General Harrison's statement
tbat the nation could Increase Ita foreign
trade with Central and Seuth America by
mall aubaidles, and concluded by commend
ing tba Democratle national ticket, and
charging that General Harrison is net, aa
claimed, a friend of tbe werklngman.
