ANOTHER EEARIKO ON TAGGARI'S TiX SCHEIE
tritOM A STAFF COEM.SPONPENT.1
IlAliKlbBuitG, April 22. For the Cist
time, probably, in the history of the Coui
wcnwealth, a prelate of the Roman Catholic
Church appeared in the Capitol before a
legislative committee in opposition to the
present administration of the common school
iystem. Tiie scene was one which might
mate Thaddcus Stevens, the father and
foundei oi the system, and whom Bishop
2dcGovern styled an unbeliever, turn in his
Stave, and yet the arguments of the Right
ltevei end gentleman and Father McTighe,
o. Pittsburg, were dispassionate and moder
ate, aud their manner that of men consci
entious in their belief, sincere as Christians
and patriotic as citizens.
The occasion was the consideration by the
Senate Education Committee of Senator
Hall's resolution for the appointment of a
committee to devise some plan by which the
parochial schools can be brought uiaJer
State control and receive their share of the
taxes raised and appropriated for educa
tional purposes.
rillin Occupied the Chair.
Senator Flinn presided, and there were
also present Messrs. Rnbbiiis,Tbouias,IIines,
TJpperinan, Sloan and Critrbfield. Father
SdcTighe was introduced. He said he de
sired to be considered as a citizen and not as
a Catholic priest.
Tiik peace of the community needed at
tention. .There was an element of disturb
ance on education among the citizens of the
Commonwealth. It was constantly increas
ing. It must increase, and it rtquired no
prophet to lorctell that the day must come
when it would develop into that which
would destroy the peace of the Common
wealth. This was not a threat, but the statement
of aact Born and raised in this country,
loyal to its Government and willing to de
fend it, lie felt free to. state it, and to strive
to eliminate this element from the present
condition oi affairs. As a Catholic, he felt
that an injustice was done his co-religionists.
Patriotism would dictate submission, but
liis Knowledge of the matter satisfied him
that it must be settled justly
The Catholics Not Standing Alone,
TJx'on this question of public schools, the
Catholics, Lutherans aud Episcopalians
practically were together. They were a mi-
...t ff .1. .. ...... ! . .. .1 .f.1 .1 :
jiuitt ui iuc jteuuic, auu ji uuier uenomina
lions were tempted to follow the ulan pur
sued in other countries in aucieut times, they
could dure these three out of the land, thev
could "mike a solitude and call it peace."
That would settle the question.
Rut there 'as no fear ot that. Non it the
Catholics. Lutherans and Episcopalians were
not exterminated they would grow, and wirh
their crow th their uemands would inciiaso in
eamestnes. lie asked the Legislature to
eliminate this source of discord. Catholics
were good citizens, and ready to make as great
sacrifices for peace as their cousC.euccs will
peiinit.
For j ears they had patiently paid their taxes
lor public schools and supported their own
schools, too Thus a parallel stem of educa
tion had been established in the State, of a far
larger scope and lullueuce than many sup
posed. Suppose thit lu-morrow the Catholics
were'to form a political league or' partyand
determine to test the question politically.
Cattsidcrlng u Possible Contingency.
There were over 70.000 children m these
schools. Suppose the hrst step taken was to
close these ihoo! and turn the chiIdrcri"on
the streets, where would they go? Thcio were
neither school" to hold them nor teachers to
train them. The Lutherans bud almost 40.000
children "in Muntar -ohonls Trie valuo of tho
parochial school properly was several millions.
Tills showed the va'-tness of the "work they
were doing, and lor which they received nolh.
ing.
The constitutional prohibition of the appro
priating r school funds to sectarian schools
had lieen fasored by Catholics. . He would be
the first to oppose its being stncken out. He
did not want a dollar appiopriaied to any sec
tarian institution.
Hut while to the Presbyterians, .Methodists
or other sects tho public schools seem to be
only tor secular eaucation. In the eics of the
Catholic it appears as a State churclu It is a
presenting institution. Facts prove it. A
Mtttioditt minister in .Massachusetts had pub
licly stated that the Influence of the public
schnois as so great that lp 12 years LjbOO.000
Catholic f hildrcn had been lost to the church.
Itaiises tolelr from -the fact that in these
schools tbcj are not taught religion.
3Ior I'on erf nl Than State Church.
They were m ihoir lesults a State church
more powerful in turning Catholics from their
church than the Lngli-h Government had ever
secured ju uuuappy Ireland. Catholic children
were practically compelled to attend these
schools. The htite -as to'tbe Catholic, "Sena
jour child to our school, tax yourself twice, or
Jet him glow up In ignorance." This was a. vio
lation of the Constitution, and made the public
tchoOl a sectarian institution and is destined
to, and in its practical workings does, turn our
children from their faith. Ibis question could
ouly bo settled by extermination or compro
mise. Why not try the method In use for ten years
in FoogliLeepsic, K. i. There the School
Hoard rented the parochial school, and fiomB
In the morning until 3 la the afternoon it was a
Bute school. Before and after those hours it
was a Catholic school., and the cathepsm
taught. For this the teachers are paid by the
parish church. The teachers were Catholic.
auHt-was-tac!tly understood that Protestant
teachers shall not ha cmplojed. It had worked
to the satisfaction of both Catholics and Prot
estants. Bishop McGovern said what was deslrea
was the establishment of a modus vivendi.
There would be no rebellion by Catholics. The
church had taught its children tho virtues of
suffering. They had often suffered until their
enemies, as ihey welded their chains, had
listened to the song of tho sufferers. Religious
antagonisms were the worst known, and should
always be allayed if possible.
Education Mast Be Christian.
The Catholic believes that if Christianity is
worth preserving, our education must oe
Christian. Is Christianity sectarian? If it is
then is infidelity non-sectarian? If Christianity
is sectarian, then the State can't contribute to
its support. Ana yet it is the foundation ot
onrinstitutions. It Catholics must be debarred
from the public schools, so must Methodists,
Presbyterians and all Protestant denomina
tions. What then will you have left? Catho
lics are not hostile to free institutions, or to
public schools. Nor do the church authorities
call them godless. Their founders intended
that they should teach Christianity, not infi
delity. Since the State docs not regard
Christianity as sectarian, how can the teaching
of religion be wrong?
Catholics do not object to it, but they object
to their children being taught the Lord's
Prayer with tho caudal appendages, us. "for
Thine is the kingdom, thepowerandthcglory,"
which our Lord never gave to lua people.
Neither do they want their children laughed at
when they say the "Hail. Mary." the words of
Scripture used bv tho angel when he appeared
to tho Blessed Virgin. Neither do they want
tangbt the creed with the proviso that tho
clause "He descendeth into hell" might De
omitted. Parents have a right to teach their
children their own religion. Children belong to
their parents, not to the State. That would he
a poor wet nurse. You might as well Assert
that the Census Bureau could people the State
without fathers and mothers as to suppose
that the State can raise children without the
aid of the parents. It the father is willing to
stake his salvation on his faith, it ought to bo
good enough for his children.
Catholics want official recognition. Let a
committee be appointed to consult with them.
If no agreement be reached, they could at least
get their grievances before tlie public. But
make no political capital out of it. Catholics
want no political measure. They ouly want
justice. And as a keynote for tho committee's
action he would say that a matter of con
science for which a man was willing to pay
money out of his pocket was" worthy of their
serious consideration. The committee decided
to report the resolution for printing only, when
it will bo recommitted and further considered.

ENTERING A PROTEST.
MANUFACTURERS HEARD AGAINT
TAGGART TAX BILL.
THE
A Democratic Governor and Legislature
Two Tcais From Now Predicted If It
Passes single Tax Men Also Heard
Giles 1). Price's Argument.
f FKOM A STAFF CORUKSPONPENT.l
Hakrisburo, April 22. The Senate
Finance Committee had the Taggart tax
bill up again both this afternoon and even
ing. Iu the afternoon delegations from the
Manufacturers' Club, of Philadelphia, and
the Single Tax associations appeared.
Charles Keber Clark spoke for the manu
facturers. He denounced the bill as in
quisitorial, and claimed that farmers, as a
rule, were not in such bad business straits
as are manufacturers. He said that few
fanners were found in the list of bank
rupts. Lrke many others who have ap
peared before the committee, he was per
fectly willing that every interest except his
owu should be taxed, and was strongly in
favor of the section taxing railroads lor
local purposes.
He also said that the farmers should
demand the passage of anti-discrimination
laws, as they would afford them more relief
than woulflUtrws tUJ, A? to the aise-tion
that if this" lilll were not passed the? farmers
would defeat the Repuolican party, he declared
that it the Republican majority passed It there
would not only be a Democratic Governor, but
a Democratic Legislature hero in two years
lrom i.ow.
Mr. Taggart wanted to know why the manu
facture! s never sent delegations to Harrisburg
to ask for .anti-discrimination legislation. He
read a blauk furnished by the Auditor General
tb every taxpayer in the State, to be filled out
for the purposes of State taxation ana sworn
to, and wanted to know if it was not more in
quisitorial than the form proposed in tho new
law. 1 he discussion drifted to the tariff and
other kindred topics. Mr. Taggart being
abundantly able to lake care of himself. Sev
eral rather young gentlemen, representing tho
Single Tax associations, spoke iu opposition to
the bilk As specimens of English composition
their ieeches were models, but, as one of them
subsequoutly explained, it embarrassed them
to talk without being applauded. And they
were not apnlauded.
At the evening session. Giles D. Price, of
Erie. Secretaiy of the County Commissioners'
.Association, and a member ot the commission
which framed the bill, made an argumentin
its favor. He said the bill sought to lay an ad
ditional tax for local purposes upon about
Sl,4O0,aO,O0O of property heretofore taxed for
State purposes only, at a rate far less than the
average rate paia by real estate, anil it al-o
sought Lp lay a local tax upon about 5700,000,000
of property, heretofore untaxed, at a rate equal
to the rato paid by reil estate. The result
would be to relieve real estate of about one
third of its present burden.
It might be expected that such a bill would
meet violent opposition. Taxation is in no case
popular, and a proposition to inciease taxation
on any kind of pfnpeity is alwas unpopular
with tuoso who must pay tho increase. AH
igreo that equalization of taxation is neces
sary, and tlie onlv way to do it is to require
certain kinds of property to pay more, to tho
end that overburdened property may be re
lieved. Philadelphia opposed the bill most bitterly.
That c.tj now taxes the plant of manufaciar
ingestatilishments 1SJ-J "mills. If all property
in Philadelphia were taxed, the rate could be
reduced to 12 mills. It was no more inquisi
torial than any other tax bill, and was similar
to the tax laws of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas. Nebraska. Minnesota and Wisconsin.'
Mr. HeilZel, of Philadelphia, a disciple of
Henry George, made a violent attack upon tho
bill, ana also upon things in general. His
speech uasalmosr anarchistic in its character,
and that of Mr. Shoemaker, who followed hlmj
was of the same stripe. Both gentlemen
seemed to want to blow it all out and begin
ag-im. and their remarks had little weicht wTth
the committee. The railroads are to be heard
next Tuesday nigut. Mr. Tacgart claims that
all these hearings arc for no oiher purpose
than delay.

IN A BAD SNARL.
Tho Anthrarite Mining Commission Divided
and Tho Reports Sent In.
' 'IFROM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT.!
Hareisbuko. April 22 It is to be hoped
that the commission to revise tbe bituminous
mining laws w oa't end in the snarl in which.the
Anthracite Commission finds Itself. Tbe Gov
ernor to-day sent to the Legislature a majority
aud minority t eport from this body. The main
object desired by the miners was the insertion
in the law of an employers' liability clause and
the striking out of tbe provision for the ex
amination and issuing of certificates to mine
foremen. The reason for the latter change is
that the operators claim that as the mine fore
roan has a. certificate of competency from tbe
State, they are nt responsible Xorhis neglect
iDiwuipcicnvj. a uiu was prepareu, out
when submitted to Mr. Connell. of Scranton.
President of the commission, but wbe had been I
absent from illness, he objected to it and a di
vision arose.
The miners divided, thnso from Schuylkill
joining with the operators and mino inspectors
In framing ihcmajority bill, while those from
Luzerne and Lackawanna present the minority
one. Charges ot treachery, selling out, etc.,
are being bandied, and it now looks as tbough
nothing would be accomplished. The miners
and Knights of Labor are holding indignation
meetings throughout the anthracite regions,
and the commission is in trouble on all sides.
A BITTER FIGHT ON
IN THE HOUSE OVER THE WHOLESALE
LIQT0B LICENSE BILL.

Cities Raised to Sl.OOO The Bill Passes
Second Reading. 6
FltOU A STAFF CORRESPOXDKXT.
IIaerisdueo, April 22. Unless the li-'
ceuse question is settled soon the Legisla
ture won't adjourn before the 1st of July.
The wholesale license bill came back from
the Senate to-day and the most of the after
noon aud all the night session were con
sumed iu discussing it. After it had been
reconsidered on the second reading, Mr.
Fow had his Amendment, providing for the
placing of the name of the dealer aud num
ber of the license upon delivery wagons,
changed so as to apply to brewers and dis
tillers as well as bottlers. A most important
change was made in raising the license fee
for brewers, distillers and all whnlesalo dealers,
except bottlers, in cities of the first and second
classes to 51,000. Iii, third class cities it was left
atKOO.
At the night session the debate was even
more heated aud acrimonious than that of yes
terday. Motions were made to postpone for
the present aud indefinitely, hut both wero
voted down and the worx of amending the bill
was proceeded with. The courts were riven
the saute discretion iu the granting of licenses
to wholesalers, rectifiers and compounders as
they now have iu regard to retail license. No
change was made as to brewers and distillers,
but courts must license all proper persons ap
plying therefor.
The clause requiring remonstrants to be
sworn was also stnekeneut. Mr. Elwood tried to
have his amendment, repealing the local whole
sale license law for Westmoreland county, rein
serted.but it was defeated. The bill then passed
second reading. It is now in a much more ac
ceptable shape than when first passed, but the
temper of the House is ton uncertain to make
it safe to venture any predictions as to what
will be done with it on third reading.

A COMPANY OP MILITIA CALLED 0DT
(FROM X STATF COBBXSFONDINTI.
Cokuellstille, April 22. Two w,omen
and several deputies were seriously injured
in a lively riot at Adelaide this afternoon.
The deputies had ' moved the goods from
house No. 5 aud were guarding it to prevent
the women putting everything back
again. An attack . was made by
the Slavish women, who used
bricks and clubs as implement of
war. Soon some of the men took a hand
and several shots were fired, and at the
first shot Annie Dombeisky, a 16-year-old
orphan girl, fell with a bullet hole in her
shoulder. She was not badly Injured, and
to-night is resting easy at house No. 6, with
friends.
Later in the affairanother Slavish woman,
Mrs. Andrew Sumbaugh, wife of the local
leader, received a slight bullet wound in the
scalp and was severely bruised about the
head. Sheriff JlcCormick had a slight'
bullet wound in the thumb, and several of.
tbe deputies were badly bruised about tho
bodv bv bedslats.
Women Alone Made the Attack.
The attack was made entirely by women
and the men merely acted as lookers-on.
Stones were thrown at the deputies and bed
slats were wielded with wonderful force by
the Amazonian warriors. Tbe deputies
soon gained the field aud-the people fled in
all directions. Dozens of them plunged into
the river aud swam and floundered orjr
shoals to the opposite shore 200 yards away.
Among thoso who swam the river was a
young man said to be the. lover sf Annie Dorn-biesky,-whD(
is accused by the deputies of firing
the shot which struck his sweetheart. He
fired the first shot and several others followed
in rapid succession and the girl fell just in
front of the young man who bad taken aim at
the Sheriff, but the girl got in his way.
Conflicting Stories About tho Shooting.
At House No. 6, where Annie is being cared
for by friends, tbe Slavish people claim that
Sheriff McCormick did the shooting. Tbe in
terpreter said the Sheriff stood with a revohrar
1n each, hand firing into the crowd of women."
About V A-.ii. there was another rior
Adelaide -and. though it lasted only a Wrflfl".111 tje oaJlfor. He had
momeuts, one of the deputies, William Wyatr,
was' struck on the ear with a stone, badly
crushing It, He was also otherwise badly in
jured, and as he is an old man it may prove a
serious affair, with bim. There were about 20
deputies concerned against several hundred of
the Slavish people.
After driving the riotefs off the field the
ShorifT went to Trotter to attend to some other
ovlctlon business. There be met the usual re
sistance, about 500 people crowding around
to prevent the work. It was evicting nnder
difficulties, but tho Sheriff was persistent and
tried to get along without trouble. He was
jostled about by tbe women, and the men bung
about tho street making threats.
Soon an attempt was made to clear tbe
women away, when about 30 men rushed across
the street and made au attack on the Sheriff.
Bed slats were used, aud in the fight which fol
lowed. Sheriff McCormick wis badly used up.
He received a number of severe scalp wounds
and body bruises, and came out of the affair
with blood streaming down his face.
Militia Ordered to the Scene.
To scttlo tho matter, the militia was called
from its station a short distance away. For a
few moments, the people quieted down, bnt
right in the face of the soldiers another attack
was made on the force of deputies. With fixed
bayonets, the soldiers charged the crowd and
soon cleared the streets, the only injuries in
flicted being slight gouges with tho bayonets.
Very few shots were fired in this affair, and
the Sheriff was the only man seriously hurt.
However, he will be out again to-day making
evictions at Summit and other places in tho
vicinity.
Six men were arrested on charges of resist'
ing an officer. Three were arrested at Adelaide
aud brought to Connellsville. Three others
were arrested at Trotter and sent to Union
town. There was no trouble at cither place to
night, but music is promised for to-morrow.

THE STORY OF A DEPUTY.
He
Describes the Onslanght of the Huns
Upon tho Sheriff and His Fosse.
'fPECIAL TELXOfcAM TO THE DIEPATCII.t
Uniojjtown, April 22. Deputy Kyle, who
was in tho thickest of the fight between tho
deputies and Hungarians at Adelaide, this
afternoon, sajs: "The Huns tried to kill us
deputies this afternoon. It was not a bluff on
their part. They meant business from tbe
word go. That big brawny Hun who fired
the shot that killed his sweetheart
fought like a demon. He told mo in
very good English that if I attempted to stop
the women and men from carrying the goods
back into the house he would blow my brains
out. and 1 knew be meant just what he said.
This was just before I went to tho store for
Sheriff McCormick. When tbe sheriff arrived
be tried to pacify the Huns, but be might as
well have attempted to pacify a menagerie of
Wild animals by Hiving them a taste of fresh
blood. You shonld have Jeen the Sheriff wad
ing throngh the crowd. Tbe Huns, both men
aud women, piled upon his back like so many
hyenas, and clawed and beat him like demons.
His coat and shirt were torn in shreds from his
back; and I noticedionc bruise upon his back as
big as'my two hands. Tho clnbs and stones fell
upon and around him like hail.
"I have not tho least doubt bnt that big Hun
meant to kill him when he fired thatstiot. Tell
me the soldiers are not needed herel Why, if
lthadn't been" for the timely arrival ot Com

torn us deputies limb .from limb. I

THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT.
IT LOOKS AS THOUGH ONE WILL BE
STARTED IN NEW YORK.
Knights of Labor Offer to Join the Farmers'
Alliance in a Political Fight No Full
State Ticket Likely to Be Nominated
This Fall.
ttPZCIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCn.J
HoEJTElLSVIIiLE. K. Y., April 22. Two
sessions of the Farmers' Alliance State Con
vention were held to-day, but only prelimi
nary work was done. The detailed work
was delegated to committees, who will re
port to-morrow, and the knotty problems
which are likely to make trouble in the
organization are all in their hands, but
there have been some interesting develop
ments in State politics, both inside ihe con-,
vention hall and "among the delegates and
others who are here upon political missions.
The most significant thing'-has been tbe
casting of the Knights of Labor at the feet
of the Alliance. This was deno'jy,the
accredited Republicans of the organization,
who acted under the direct instructions ot
this order. Messrs. Hicks and'Maguire
were elected fraternal delegates 'to the
Farmers' Convention at the last State Convert?
lion of the Knights of Labor.' They were in
structed at tbe time of their appointment that
in case tbe demands of the Knights were all
refused by tbe Legislature at Albany this win
ter, they should offer the unreserved Support of
tbe Knights in any third party or otbec polit
ical plan which the Alliance might adopt.
The two delegates were invited to address
the convention soon after it opened this morn
ing. Hicks is the Chairman of the Legislative
Committee of the Kmguls. He explained, to
the convention that lid hnri snpnK tliurlntAi-at
Albany endeavorhrg'to1ge'cnre lejdj&tJin u-
utterly failed. Accordingly he had come to
carry ont Ms instructions and to offer the com
plete co-operation ot the Knights In any politi
cal plan which the Alliance uiizht adopt.
Hicks' speech at once tested the political
feeling of the delegates. It was a straight
third party utterance, and Hicks looked for
fome opposition from the delegates. On the
contrary, the brief speeches In reply were all in
hearty sympathy with his sentiments, and a
resolution was passed expressing cordial ap
preciation and acceptance of the offer. The
delegates have been busily comparing notes
since yesterday, and the result is that tho third
party sentiment among them is much stronger
than when they arrived.
Tbe only division of opinion seems to bo re
garding the time when the third party move
ment should be begun. Not many believe in
nominating a full State ticket this fall. Rut a
majority are in favor of independent nomina
tions fur tho Senate and Assembly, and for
local offices in many places. Tho Democrats in
this part ut tbe State will watch the execution
of such a plan with great complacency. It
will give them an opportunity to send repre
sentatives to Albany from a number of dis
tricts which are now regarded as solidly Re
publican. Careful inquiry makes it perfectly
clear that the Alliance Is Tecruitlng In most
counties from the Republican ranks almost ex
clusively. A DRUNKEN MAYOR.
Ho Was the Hope of Prohibitionists, but
Foil From Graco.
rsrtCIAL TELBOBAK TO TOE DISPATCnl
Des Moixes, April 22. Mayor Campbell was
elected to office a year ago for the reason that
he, it was hoped, would utilize the police in tbe
enforcement of prohibitiod and thus relieve
the county of tho costly work of tho constables,
To-night tho Mayor stands fclf-convicted of
drunkenness. Ho aud Alderman Smith, Jim
O'Callaughan.a former saloon keeper, and John
Haceman, a bootlegger, drove down on the
fiats of the Fifth ward this morning to select a
garbago dumping ground. Tboy stopped at
some grocety stores down there aud imbibed
freely of what was sold for cider.
This afternoon the carriage w-as seen on West
Third street. The Mayor was in a deep stupor.
He lay with his head back and his feet ou the
front seat. O'Callanghau ami Hagcmau were
missing aud the City Marshal was master of
ceremonlo.. Ho pulled down tbe blinds
and had tho Mayor driven about the town
until evening, when he had recovered
sufficiently to be taken homo without alarming
his family. The Marshal insists tho Mayor
was drugged. A partly empty bottle of whisky
was found In the hack. It seems to be about
the usual quality of, Iowa drntstore whlsCy.
Tbe claim that the Prohibition Mnyor was
drugged is not substantiated.

"Thero is nothing dubious in the manner of

The good feeling between tbe two States
was manifest to-day wbcu Ohio made a de
termined and almost successful attempt to
stampede the convention for Stttlb for Sec
retary. A portion of the Pennsylvania
delegation remained for the reception to
night, but ali will be gone by early morn
ing. When President Harrison's letter was an
nounced to-day in the Republican League
Convention, the delegates cheered again
and again, and finally they rose en masse,
waving handkerchiefs aud papers, and
cheering until the great hall reverberated
with the enthusiastic outburst, aud wben
the letter was read the applause was re
newed. Among the first delegates to put iu
an appearqnee were those from Indiana, and
they seemed to have forgotten the episode
of yesterday, caused by the failure of ex
Governor Foraker and Chairman Thurston
to mention the name of President Har
rison in their speeches, and Foraker's allu
sion to "Blaine's magnificent administra
tion." The Platform of the Clubs.
The Committee on Resolutions, through
Judge John L. Webster, of Nebraska, pre
sented a report. The resolutions honored
the memory of General Sherman, Admiral
Porterand Secretary Windom; indorsed tbe
action of Speaker Reed in compelling the
members of Ihe House of Representatives to
transact public business: favoring protec
tion and reciprocity; remembering tbe claims
of soldieis and declaring the aim ot the league
to be the dissemination of the principles and
doctrines of the Republican party as fasuioned
by the teachings of its greatest leaders. Tbe
following clauses are in full:
"We InUorso the wise, statesmanlike, cour
ageous and patriotic course of the admimstra-tioa-.of
President Harrison. Its conduct of
both domestic and foreign affairs has been
such as to command tbe thorough respect and
hearty admiration o every true cifizen. Its
attitude in dealing with alien residents and
giv!g to thtlnr tbe 'protection accorded to
American Citizens, and no more, is just and

VW6 opptfiVaiiy attempt to deSSSetue "cur
rency and coin of the country, but insist upon
such legitimate increase oi onr circulating
medium and such maintenance of the double
standard as will fairly satisfy the increasing
necessities of trade and commerce,
"Loyal aud intelligent Republicans will not
seek to de-troy vested Interests, nor to cripple
any legitimate enterprise, but they demand
that tho best thought of the Republican party
shall he roucentratea ou tbe formulation of
such legislation as will protect the people from
any exactions or oppressions of monopolies or
from extortionate demands of tbe public.
A Kick Against Immigration.
"Recent events have made more apparent
than ever the necessity for exercising tbe sov
ereign right inheront in our nation as in all
others to nse discrimination in the admission
of foreigners as residents in this country. We,
therefore, recommend such changes in our
laws as will effectually prohibit tho immigra
tion of paupors and criminals and of people so
alien from us in their ideas and habits of
thought that they cannot be assimilated in the
body politic
"We reaffirm our belief in and devotion to the
supreme and sovereign right of every lawful
citizcu, rich or poor, native or f oreigu born,
white or black, to cast one free ballot In public
elections, and to bavo that ballot duly counted
and certified as counted. Denial of such right
should result In decrease of representation in
Congress and in tho electoral college."
The first breeze was felt wben a Wisconsin
delegate, whose accent as well as his words
told that be was of foreign birtb. begged on bo
half of the many Republicans in the North
western States that the proposed language re
stricting immigration be expunged. He said
tbe meaning of the words might be all right,
but thoy would be distorted by the enemy with
telling effect on on the foreign-born Republican
vote of the Northwest, They had bad experi
ence and wanted no more. General Falrchild,
ot Wisconsin, who was cheered when be arose,
said the delegates were all agreed on the point
in question. It was right to look after immi
gration, but ho begged the convention to listen
to the warning of these earnest men of tho
Northwest, Xhey knew what they wero talk
ing aunut.
Better to Be Right Than Victors.
T. C. Campbell, of New York, made the point
that it was better to be right and lose than to
win by being wrong. Tbe debate grew hot.
Tbe Mafia was denounced. One delegate
asked wbero the line could bo drawn to define
who was not fit to assimilate with the body
politic. Auothnr retorted that in New Orleans
the line was drawn on the lamp post. Finally
Judgo Webster moved to strike out all after
the word "criminals." and this was done and
the resolutions adopted.
Tho reading of tho Harrison indorsement
created tlin most enthusiastic sceno of the con
vention. The delegates rose and, with waving
handkerchiefs, hats and canes, kept up a dem
onstration xor several minutes.
Then came the election of officers, and with
great dignity and decorum tho nominating
speeches were made. Powers placed John H.
Clarkson in nomination. Senator Matthew met
the apparent avalanche towaid Clarkson by
presenting tho name of W. W. Tracy, Presi
dent of the Illinois League, and one or two
delegates favored Mr. Tracy. Rut President
Thurston left tho chair and made a brief but
forcible speech which settled the matter. Mr.
Traey's natno was withdrawn and Mr. Clarkson
received tho unanimous vote in au enthusiastic
manner.
The election ot Secretary elicited some teel
'ing. New York wanted tbe present incumbent,
Mr. Humphrey, to remain, Wisconsin joined
and read a telegram from Clarkson In
Humphrey's behalf. Hennessey somewhat
fiercely resented what looked like dictation,
and nained'Mr. Theodore Stulb. Ohio followed
by naming J. J. Chester, The vote was o close
that an election was douhtfui on the first bal
lot, bnt changes began, and ended in the choico
of Mr. Humphrey. Phiunas Lounsbery, of
Connecticut, was re-elected Treasurer.
The committee reported in favor of Indian
apolis as the next place, ot meeting, but tho
convention made a report to support itself by
voting mat tne .executive committee shall
name the place and the time, but shall make
the time not less than tbreo weeks after tho
National Republican Couvcntion.
DENSITY OF POPULATION.
An
Interesting Bulletin From the Census
Office on the Subject.
Washington. April 22. Superintendent
Porter, of tbe Census Bureau, to-day made
public a bulletin upon tbe subject of the dis
tribution of population according to density.
Tho bulletin presents certain facts relating to
the density nttbe rural as distinguished from
the urban population of the country and makes
comparisons with similar facts from other cen
suses. The table shows tbat in 1800 the popu
lation was nearly 1G times as great as in 1790,
while during the century the unsettled area
was increased only about eight fold.
Tbe most striking fact which appears, savs
Mt., Porter, Is, the numerous additions which
have been made to tbe settled area within the
Cordillerau regloD. Settlements have spread
westward up the slope of tbe plains until they
CLARKSUN INCHARG
have joined the bodies formerly Isolated in
Colorado, forming a continuous body or settle
ment from the East to the'Rocky Mountains.
In the East, It i seen that settlement it spread
ing with some rapidity in Maine, its unsettled
area bavinc dwindled from 12,000 down to J.0O0
square miles. The unsettled portion of tho
Adirondack region in New York has alo
diminished, there being now but 1.00U square
miles remaining unsettled.
THE NEW TARIFF LAW.

fFROJl A STAFF CORRESPONDENT!
Washington, April 22. During the
last session of the Fifty-first Congress, and
following the election in wjiich more lies
were circulated iu regard to the form, opera
tion and effect of the new tariff bill than have
ever been invented since the enactment of
the first tariff-law, a resolution was adopted
by the Senate instructing the Committee on
Finance to make au investigation before the
assemblage of another Congress into tbe
results of the operation of the law. The
committee met to-day for the first time un
der this resolution, ami appointed a sub
committee, consisting of Jfessrs. Allison,
Aldrich and Hiscock, of the Republicans,
and Messrs. Carlisle and Harris, of the
Democrats, to prosecute the inquiry.
This sub-committee will meet next week
and map out a plan of proceeding. This
will "uh'.Iess include sundry weeks at

As vastly moro lies have been told against tho

it is expected, will be of great advantage iu the

falsity of tbe arguments and assertions of the
traducers of tbe law, which were .so effective iu

Parisian brought only 120 passengers,
but previously landed L7U0 at Halifax,

the same manner that thev did after tha

to gossip on the result of J. Palmer

"If Pittsburg can't win the pennant with

why tin the Chicago boys wear those dull gray

"They aro pennant winners," declared one
