It is an in jury to a faithful, couH'tent and exjieri .eaecd otlicial against whom not even a Mission omld rest. Jt is a notable f;e-t that Senatr Voor lierv, the man chosen to reply to Senator Slicrman's masterly exposure of the crud ities and errors of Nr. Cleveland's mes Mii1, made this tretueudous admission, a. : " The iuauufa1orie4 f the Fastern Mi lliddle suites were uurJ by the overawieut wheu uuable to stand ajolie. i aiu pr'(.rel to say that within proT ad wife limtU and with irimary vnsid c ration tit the urieiiUurist as the found ation and Uvimiiii of even thing, the suit' kilicy of cucravnient hieh has Jier.ilori' in general tuai kJ our legisla tion skould now W fXHitinur4 Li the in fant iaauifacturing industries of Jlhe Jsmth and of the West."

In Tivior, a prominent cilifsea of Atlanta. ta, lias leen inter ieaed by a reporter for the i m;ttm. of that eity, as to the effect of the tax m alcohol on the cost of drug and riKslicines. Among , otlter tilings, he said : " A man who fa vors a reduction of this tax, and reduc- tion of the tariff, may nay it is foolish to keep a tax on a uit of clothes in order to take it off boUle of paregoric. I have shown vou that the tax on spirit? in med icines amounts, to 10.0i0,0(TO annually. That's half as much as the product of every clotiiinjr manufactory in America, upon information given me by two lead ing clothing merchanta in Atlanta. In other words, the ieople of this country pay thirty millian dollars annually for medicines that cot to the government, for which the iroverument has no use, and of which President Cleveland de clares to be an unmixed evil." TnEFE has been quite lively light go ing on in the K-mocratic ranks of 'his State for the control of the Suite Commit tee, which meets at Ilarnsuurg khuv. Uncle" Randall it is charged has leen moving lieaven and earth to have the present Chairman, JhiUas Sanders, re elected, and thereby lioora his own presi dential aspiration. On the other liand it is claimed by the Waltoce-Seott-Singer-ly combination that they "have had enough of the one man jswer," that the re-election of Sanders w ould te heralded as a triumph of the opponents of Cleve land and would tend greatly to weaken the effirtii of the Democrats in Congress to pass a bill in harmony w ith the Presi dent's reeoiiimendotion for a wholesale slaughter of the protective tariff system. If the angry charges and retorts are to be credited it is a fight " to the death " ! tween ILmdall and the administration and the result of the committee' meet ing is anxiously awaited. There is talk in some tjuaitei of nom inating Pension Commissioner l'dack for second place on the 1 tcmocratie ticket this year, licirause t iencral Illack has a good army record is no reason w hy he can secure the votes of old soldiers for Cleveland, w ho has lost no opportunity of allowing his great contempt for the men who battled for the I'nion. The fact is, however, that no soldier's name occupying the second place upon the Ih-niocratic ticket could neutralize the effivts of Cleveland's acts revealing his hatred for t'tiion veterans. It could not Is- less than hatred that caused Cleveland to make unfeeling attempts at funny bus iness in his numerous vetoes of private pension bills. It was not enough for him to say no when Congress said yes to the dead soldiers' wives aud mother for re lief from hunger, but he seemed to find a pleasure in coloring bis veto messages with jocular brutality. His veto of the dejendent jiension bill fol'owed in a more respectful tone, buttle fact remains that he struck a blow at hundreds of thousands of old soldiers and their aged and infirm relatives in that veto, that was as damaging to his prosects of get ting the old soldier vote, as it was injuri ous to the old soldiers and their agiil fathers and mothers. Tiik Civil Service Reform record of the present administration received an over hauling in the Senate last week at the hands of Senator Hale, who substantiat ed the charges made with overwhelming proof in the shae of figures showing the number of changes that had been made in Federal oliices up to June 11, 1ST.

From the New York Trtbuue. I: is rarely the tale of juries to render a verdiit hion- satisfactorj- to the public than that which subtracts from the bank account of Charles Arbucklc. more widely known as baby Hunting.' the sum f .s..ii with w hich to solace Miss Clara Campbell fir the loss ay, more than the loss, the wasting away ol her young ami hcrclofurr untried af flictions. We say young alhVtitHis. and young atfiiiions w distinctly mean ; for al beit Miss Campbell hail left the hhishiug au rora of life so far behind her as to make its image in her lace rather a matter of cvnjiv turethanof rwxinl, yet until her eyes met iIkiw of Cbarlisi Arliuckle, her Itaby Hunt ing, hr heart was free, her tendiT emotions all uutom hej. To this plaintiff love was no rnijity ord. it had a deep and momentous meaninic. Maidin lliere are. sad to say, whose so-i-alltsl hearts ran 1 transferred from (Hie man to anotJier as easily as their unthinking heads ran be Isinir from shoul der to shoulder. Hut frivolity had uo place ia Mm CamplaU's character. Slic loved with Ib (iutatjous and aiKumuUtcd (a-sion of tony -o!d Miuifcia-s. The defendant with Revolting brutality soiiglit Usn the trial to cut Viii.w ujmn her ardor by evidence tending to !iua (hat she bleachtsl her liair.

The letters lie had addressed to thti plaintiff we pu in rvi fence in great numbera. orh hai lut litem all togetiier with carefully rupi4 trauscrittj of her own replies, apparently with view ti tW- fury contingency which afterward anhappiiy' arose. The wisdom of waitini: until years ha-e niatun-d tlie maiditily jtnignietit before falling a victim toCujiid's wiles is thus in rbrced in Miss CampMI's experience. It may well U-doubted, had this crisis occurred when she wax artless and eontiding. if l would have been able to produce ill court K'h a ronviiicing volume of eorn.'spoiideacc a ! was supplied with la 4 week. Yimnr women who hare it iu them w place com- mervial value upon their aHWt'Hms would do well to bear in mind this leaf from Mi Campbell's interesting history. rnquestionahly it was thiscornivmdewe which chieSy aflected the jury. In his let ters Arbuckle had insisted on being to her a " Baby Bunting, and on her being to him a " Rutin ie." lie had plead with her "to H and K" him, which mystic symbols of desire she declared on oath to the jury meant to hug' and to "kiss". He sent her "packag es" and even "tons' of -lis and "Kb." Some of these he designated a "uii,' while as to others he made no artktilar profes sions. But still he did not marry her. He was at all times ready to H and K. but never ready to wed. Slowly but surely gray hairs were stealing in among tl plaintiff's dark, tresses. Slowly but surely the sun of life was drooping toward the west. And at last giuded to desperation by the defendant's hot zwil for li s and K's unsanctified by the promise to love, honor, comfort and keep and with all his worldly goods to her endow, she came tearfully Iwfi ire a jury of her fellow citizens, holding the shreds of her torn affec tions in her hands, and asked for damages. The sum accorded her is. we believe, sec ond in amount only to that awanled tlie too trusting -Miss rune m i-r un against that representative young nobleman, Karl Cairns.' Hut what is tM'i.t"1", or even $.'io'W, to the blasted hoe and the wasted heart which Miss Camjiliell Huntiie" no longer will take hack wilh her to her deso late home? What can restore to her the se renity and peace of the days when her heart was all her own, before "I'-aby limiting" and his dyed moustaches came a-wooing? No sympathy need l wasted on Baby liuiiliiiE. There are times when a man should lit punished as much for being a fool as for being a knave, and it is moderation to say of Itaby Bunting that the evidence len it somewhat in doubt to which of these lasses he belongs, if, indeed, he docs not le longto both. The size of the verdict against hini implies that to the jury he appeared in the dual diameter. The Mississippi Plan. Fmm tlie New Yors liidets'iiilcnt. This story is worth rcicating. It cornea from Jackson the Capital of Mississippi and wegiveitttom the Southwestern Cluutiau A-h- rat'-. A young white man who had a grudge against a colons! man. of some month's standinu. on Christmas eve gather ed a crowd of his associates and with tin horns and firecrackers they followed him in the streets. The young white blew the horn in the negro's fai-e, and the latter, who was escorting a lady, bore the insulting demon stration with patience until several large firecrackers were dmpjed across the arm of the young lady. The negro then dismissed his cort, slcpjied into a butcher shop, pick ed up a knife, with which, after receiving three shots from the revolver of his assailant, he nearly severed the head of the young .white from the shoulders. Both died in less than two hours. This incident was used to frame an inflammable indii-tment against the Ih'iiuhliian citv administration, and the Ic:nocratic Convention apKtintcd aeoinmit tec of l'si to see that their ticket was elected. Tiie Younr Men's White League adopted resolutions that if any negro attempted to run for office in the approaching municijial ehrtion " he dues so at his jieril," and ne gus's were further warned against attempt ing to vote for a ticket other than the regu lar I democratic one. At a meeting of color ed voters, to whom it was evident that the whites of Jackson and the surrounding counties 'had conspired to use murderous weapons to eufon-e their divrce. a resolution wa passed declaring that in the interest of ieai-e. and for the protection of life and pnp erty. the colored ieopie refrain from toting or in any way participating iu said election, and withdrawing the colored candidates tor Aldermen. This all happened within three weeks, in the capital of Mr. luuar's Slate, and anything more aUiminahlc and barbar ous it is inisissibk' to conceive.

Railroad men agree that the storm of to-day Is quite tlie worst ever know in the Northwest for their busi ness. It extends from the Rocky Mountains to Lake Michigan but its worst effects are felt in Dakota ami Minnesota. Everywhere it has been accompanied by a high wind which drifts the snow badly, and in North ern Dakota with below sero temperature, it assumes the character of a genuine blisxard. The railroads bad nearly finished clearing their tracks from the previous storm and that of to-day lias absolutely blocked all the small roads, though the through lines are tattling bravely against the elements to keep trains moving. Trains 011 the roads to Chicago are one to nine hours late, but alt the main lines are still oien and Kastern trains left as nsual to-uighL All freights on the Northern Pacific and Montana lines have been aliandoned, and no passenger trains were sent out on these roads to-night. The Kansas City train on the Omaha was also abandoned. Suierintendent Egan, of the Manitoba line, says its passenger trains are laid up s statious where there is plenty to eat. The St. Taut and Dululh road is trying to keep its main line open, but has aliandoned the branches. A special from Huron, Dak, says : The wind is blowing 50 miles an hour. The air is full of snow that one is unable to see .VI feet at any time. Some unthinking teachers dismissed young school children, some of whom have to go fourorfiveblocks across the open land. Five or six children pit lost. Whistles are blowing, liells ring ing and people turned out and took long rojs-s and walked IS or 2 abreast back and forth over the ground. They have just found two, the otliers not yet having been discovered. The mercury is four degrees liclow zero and has fallen degrees since 10 o'clock. . Bismarck reports that children started for school, but were forced to turn back. A Pierre, Dak., special says that the wind is blowing ft) miles an hour and it is itniossi bletosec 100 feet. Trains are snow-bound at Ree Heights and there is a reported col lision between two freights at the same siiit. Minot, Dak., reports the storm rag ing there for 24 hours and the temjieratiire 15 degrees below. All railroad travel is stiiendcd. Jamestown, Dak., reports no trains mov ing on the main line of the Northern Pacific. (Iroton, Dakota reports the wind blowing a gale, the mercury JO degrees below and that it is impossible to see more than" two nsls. In St. Paul the parade and other ceremonies attending the laying of the corner stone of the third ice palace were postponed to Sat urday, though some of the clubs paraded just the same. A heavy snow has tillee all day in the vicinity of (Vslar Rapids, Ia. Tlie North western Road is in fair shae, hut the De coarah division of the Burlington, Cedur Rapids and Northern is abandoned for to night.

Search sti'.l continues to-night, bu! as tho mercury is below, there is little hope of finding the children alive. The shop whistle has been blowing at intervale during the afternoon. an assistance 10 any ierson out 111 lucsionu. A number of farmers started home as soon as the storm began and there are grave fears fur their safety. Business men who attempted to go home this afternoon lost their way at the street enwsiugs. Many others are not attempting lo go home to-night. A Webster Dak., tiecia! says: Several mail carriers are rejiorted to be caught in the blizzard and have, icrhaps, ierished. The temiK-raiurc is 23 below. At Oshkosh, Wis., a blizzard set in about 3 o'clock this afternoon and already threat ens to seriously interiere with the railroads. The snow is very fine aud drifting'badly. The street railway service has been abandon ed. The snow will about cripple lumbering ojierations, the recent fall cut having been much in excess of the demand. The worst blizzard of the season is raging at Muscatine, la. The snow is heavy and deep, and the roads will probably lie badly blocked. The worst hlijuari for years hai been raging at Sioux City, Ia., since 3 r. 31. No trains arc running to-night and if ti e storm continui'S there will be a general blockade. Sim x Citv, Jan. tl. The storm of yes terday was the fiercest oil record. During the prevalence of the gale a fire occurred in the business center of the city, and it re quired hard fighting to subdue it. Many firemen rejiort frozen hamls or feet. During the night ncn were kept busy hunting for the remains of a nine-yaer-old sou of W. E. Hinman supposed to be lost. The Isiy tun red up all right at a neighbor's house to day. Trains are all abandoned, except on the Sioux City and Pacific, and the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneasilis and Omha roads south . MiLKAt'kKE, Jan. l.". It is 3) degrees be low aero to-night, and advices from other parts of the Stale are to the effect that it is even colder in some sections. The railroads have had a bad time of it. Nearly every train from the West and North was several hours late, and on the Prairie Du Chien di vision of St. paul road passenger as well as freight trains were jtispended on account of the big drifts in the cuts. Engines that era a ied in from thv north resembled huge rakos of ice, now plows have been at work all day, aud it is not expected that passenger trains will be stalled 0t any of tlui Wisconsin divisions.

Inquiry Ordered by tho Senate Into Suppression of the Negro Vote. Washisotos. Jan. 12. In the Senate to day Mr. Chandler's resolution instructing the Committee on the Judiciary to inquire into the suppression of the rotes of the col ored citizens of Jackson, MUsl, at thereoeot municipal election iri that d'y, and into the alleged participation in such suppression by tlie Cuited Slates district attorney, a deputy collector of internal revenue and a deputy I'nited .States marshal, was taken up. In the course of bis address Mr. Chandler said he had communications from Jackson asking Sir such au investigation and assert ing that the facta stated could be proved by the testimony of the best men of both jiolit ical parties. He read the manifesto which first conveyed lo the colored peoiilc of Jack son the information that they would not be allowed to vote. This manifesto displayed at its head an engraving of a couple of pis tols, a couple of shotguns and a powder- flask. In it the "Young men of Jackson" announced their "ultimatum." It declared that, having seen one of their number hell ishly murdered in the dark by a negro bully set on by a negro policeman of a negro-cursed city, corrupt negro radical government should and must be wiped out at any cost ; that if negroes ran for office they should do so at their extremes! peril, and it warned al negroes "against attempting to foist upou us this black and damnable machinery called government." The colored citizens under all the circumstances surrounding them had met in convention; had resolved that it would be unsafe for them to attempt to vote, and had consequently unstained from vot ing, so that none hut white men voted. oovkhnment officials implicated. The federal officers engagisl in that busi ness were Mr.. Harris, the district attorney ; Mr. Wilson, the deputy collector of internal revenue, and Mr. Livingstone, deputy I'ni ted States marshal. He submitted that the question, although it affected only for the time lieing a municipal election in the City of Jackson, was of national importance. The count ry this year was toenter iijsjii an election which was to decide the presidency and also the complexion of the House of Representa tives. In that election at least 12,(SS),oti0 of voters, representing G0.0u,0 of American people, would participate. ' Among those voters were probably 1,500, OKI of black men, representing u,li,UOO or 7.n".OU0 of their own race, and it was au im tsirtant question whether those 1,500,000 of black men were to be allowed to vote. It was a question which concerned those citi zens who desired t. protect the tariff wheth er that matter should be settled by a fair j vote of all who are voters under the Consti- tution, or bo settled with 1,500.000 of those j voters disfranchised in pursuance of that j (silicy which had been deliberately adopted j in the capital of the state of Mississippi, j which state was seeking to-day to have an associate JU-silit 01 me ouireiiie v-ou 1 1 in hiu in passing on the validity of the constitu tional amendments.

Mr. Waltliill objected that the constitu- lional power of the euate did not extend to such on investigation, but he courted the fullest investigation of the occurrences at Jackvdi, while he protested against any pre- judgment of the case. Instead of mere aiionymous communications he desired that the motives, provocations.'griBvances and surroundings of the p.Hink'of that city tojii'ther with their ,'ictious, siou!i lie laid liare before tin's country, and that the ver dict of tlie ...country should be had upon them. ' ' ' 1 Mr. Joncs. nf Arkanaas, called attention to the fact that on January 3 Attorney lcn eral tiVland had called uion District At torney Harris at Jackson for a full report of the affair anil his connection with it. Mr. George said that his first impulse bad been to let the resolution lie adopted without any debate or objection on bis part. I(e would vote for it, except for one uierable objection, and that was that it embraced j matters entirely outside o the jurisoiction ' of the Senate. If it had been confined to an I investigation of Ihe conduct ofthp federal official concerned he would have voted for it.

Mr. Hale called the attention of the Sena tor Irom Mississippi tothc Fifteenth Constitu tional Ameiidinent, which declares that " the right of citizens of the t'nited Stall's to vote shall not be denied or abrogated by the Cnited States or of any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servi tude." lie conceived that whenever, in any election in any state, the right of any man to vote was denied because lie was black, that was a proper matter f jr investigation, by the Senate.

Perils of the Rail. Sis Fi'Si'iftv, Jan. 12. About midnight of Tuesday on the Southern Pacific Rail road, just after the iiortli-liound Los Angclos express had passed Sumner, in Kern county, the rear car, containing sleeping immigrants, broke loose on a steep (trade. Killed over au embankment 1V feet high, and caught fire. There were fifteen pxssengeri in the coach, but, so far as could be learned, all escaped wilh their lives, though several were serious ly injured, licoiye Harris, the brakeman, was injured internally. A colored man and his wife and three children were iu the coach when it rolled over. The husband sustained a fracture of the shoulder-blade, and his wife was cut alwut the head and breast. Just how the accident occurred none could state. The front truck of the coach was left on the track, one wheel was broken, and the opin ion among the trainmen was that on round ing the curve the broken wheel split the truck and the car tilted completely over. Those who had the Mil down the hill said that tlie coach turned over as many as four times. I i further tlight was stopped by a fence at the foot of the embankment. The car was burned up. The passengers were taken along on the engine, and their wounds were attended to by three physicians who happened to be on the train. Two Persons Shot. Svcanorc, III.. Jan. 12.

In that distinguished company there was butoneniau to stand up for the Presiilcnt's nominee when E.lmunds, Evarts, Sherman, 'Hoar, Hawley and Cullorn attacked him. The lone champion was Riddleberger, who rose with some difficulty to say that as an ex -Con federate himself he could not sit si lent and hear Mr. Lamar assailed upon that ground. Senator Edmunds, as chairman of the Ju diciary Committee, spoke. He put a hypo thetical case. 'Suppose," said he, "that Mr. Lamar hail been on the Supreme Bench in IKd and had violated his oath and gone into the Confederacy, would his name now be up for consideration for renomiiiation f" He argued from Mr. I-amar's record that he would have done so if he had been on the bench; that his opinions upon constitution, al questions would have led him to do so, and that now, with his opinions unchanged and his acts of rebellion unrepeiited, his words of support and defense of rebellion re iterated, his name is presented to the Senate and the Senate is asked to join in elevating him to the bench. Senator Jr.. hounds also said his age is a disqualification, and called the attention of the Senate to the fact that Mr. Lamar had no previous training on the bench. ... Senator Evarts spoke very earnestly uikui the dignity and importance of the office with its limited membership, its life tenure, its ultimate authority, and especially its author ity to construe and interpret the very Con- stitution itself, and insisted that the man who was named to the Senate for its con- currence iu his xipiointinent to such an of- lice should be not only free from the dis- qualifications which liu'l Urn uixtil against Mr. Lamar, but that he should have posi tive ami indubitable qualiticatiutis fur its j high duties) TWO OPINIONS OF OHIO LFAilSLlToaS.

This brought Senator I'ayne to his feet long enough to pay that however able the Ohio Legislature might be on matters'of State legislation, upon a question of this sort be should use his own judgement, rather than the dictation of a partisan majority of that body, Tnen the roll was called, and the silent supporters of the nomination picked up the j fRgmcnts of their candittite and pashsl him tvrether into a Jmk-e itli the areat favorite Democratic argument tlie brute logic of a majority vote. Cleveland's Broken Promises. Vsiixoto5, Jan. i In the Senate to day Mr. Hale called tip his resolution for an inijuiry as to whether tho president has fulfilled his promise not to make dismissals except for cause and to prevent interference milted to monopolize the management of political campaigns and conventions in New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland and other States. Mr. Hale also charged that the President had himself interfered improperly in JTew York city politic in the Nicholl-FellowH contest against the cause of reform and good government and in favor of a man of charac ter not too high. Mr. Vest interrupted in defense of CjIoiicI Fellows. Mr. Hale charged that the Democratic ad ministration bad indulged iu au unchecked spoils systen), IjaiJ countenanced the worst forms of political dictation and interference with elections: had sanctioned Jiolitical as sessnients and had shown thai the I)eti)icrat ic party will during the next year resort to every desperate means of ierpettiattng its IKiwcr. l:nder President (Jleyelaml, C4vil Service reform hoJ been roli'ied of every ves tige of sincerity and decency, and all the evils of Irederal political interferenue and ' I corruption checked by Ip.'publicai legisla tion aud administration has been given full sway. Mr. Hale read a table giving changes iliaile in all departments of the tloverumeiit up to June 11. 1887. This table showed that out of 2,379 Presidential postmasters there had been 2,000 changes j out of 52,fly9 fourth class postmasters 40,00(1 changes ; out? of 33 foreign ministers 30 changes ; out of HI col lectors of customs 100 changes ; out of 31 surveyors of customs all were changed; nut of . '10 appraiser all but two were changed; out of 13 super'nitendiints of mints II were changed ; the 0 assistant appraiser were all changed. In commenting on these statistics, Mr. Hale said the country did not appreciate that this ruthless proscription and these re movals had been going on at a rate unex ampled fir any other administration in the country's history. Mills as a Leader. WAsnisoTos. P. C, Jan. II. Parliamen tary Leader Mills got into a squabble with h:s own iiarty to night, which furnished rare sport for the Republicans for an hour, lie bad come to tlie conclusion that it was time for the House to adjourn over till Monday and after judiciously making it appear that the Republicans wanted the adjournment in order to avoid any criticisms over the delay, lie put his motion forward. Mr. Hatch, who :s a kind of lieutenant to the leader opposed the motion with another to consider the Agi icultural Exierimetit Sta tion bill, and after some sharp talk succeed ed in getting it through. Mills was astonished at the result of .he revolt, but not half so much as whett Mr. Hatch, wftliagramf wave of the band, told him that the House usnally voted with the man who was right, and that now, liaving that fact established, lie waa willing to allow the adjournment by unanimous consent. The permission was too inuch ' for the flufy Texts blood of tle leader, ami with a few haughty remarks, all going to show that he could run the House without any outside in tcrfercivx, lie rejected tlie offer and refused to adjourn until the roll waa called. The Wool Conference Ended. Washixotos, D. C, Jan. 11. Just before adjournment to-day the wool conference adopted tho following declaration, which was given to the press to-night : The representatives of the National Asso ciation of Wool Manufacturers, and of tlie Wool Growers' National association, speak ing, as they believe, for all peasons engaged in both of these occupations in the I'nited States, wilh only individual exceptions, pro claim anew their deep conviction that the protection by tariff of wool, and of the manufactures of wool, is demanded by the liest Interests of all the American people. The increase in the clip of America wool from fi0,JH.!13 pounds in.lSo!, to 30iOOO.OiXI issinds in lSf5, while the imports of foreign wool advanced only from 2t,2A2,!J33 pounds to 70,5f,170 pounds within the same period, demonstrates the effect of protective duties in promoting sheep husbandry in this coun try, aud in thus adding to tlie sources of national pnwjierity aud wealth. The fact that the reduction in the tariff oil wool in 1SS3, was immediately followed by a de crease in the number of sheep in the coun try', from 5o,0J,20 iu lst to 44.759.3U in 1S7, gives warning that the abolition of duties on wool would seriously cripple the raising of sheep in this country, which is the third pnslucer in quantity among the na tions, and would thus increase the price of wool all over the world, while the conse quent destruction of sheep would moterially effect the supply and the price of meat and to a considerable degree tf all provisions. Inasmuch as American manufacturers furn ished in 1h.su HI .0 per cent, of the woolen goisls consumed iu the t'nited States, although in lj0 only 02 8-10 percent, of such gisxls were pnsluced iu this country, no reduction iu the tariff can be neceessary to afford the American people a full supply and abundant competition in fabrics which enter into use in every family, and for which the prices for like qualities compare fav orably with those in foreign counties. The ad vain in the cousumation of wool in the I'nited States, from 05,749,035 pounds in H50, to 24,401, lu!) pounds in 1S75, under a protective tariff is to be attributed to the impetus given to manufacturers by the raising of sheep in this country, which in 1SS1 furnished St:t-10 per cent, of all the wool consumed here. As a means to the development of manufac tories at home, ihe sheep industry, which has so largely aided in the development and civilization of our vxst western country, deserves consistent and adequate etieouragc- I ment in the adjustment of the national I revenue. I'nder the protective policy the I 1'nited States bus become tho foremost j manufacturing nation 111 the world, while ; I its agriculture has been extended and diver- j j """cd ly the incentive of the most profitable j markets known to men. Prudence forbiils j i the overthrow of a system bf revenue nnder j j which such results have been obtained, j J while the wages of labor and the share of production iaid to the American artisan are I far greater than in any cither country. The committees here assembled ask Tor the con tinuance of protection tothcirown industries only as they ask for like consideration to every other branch of American productions. They plead for no favoritism to particular interests, but for a broad national policy, essential to the well being of all our people, and contributing to the pnisperity and pro gress and power uf the public. They know j that the abnlitiiffi of the duties on wool, almost fatal to our sheep husbandry, would be very damaging to tho manufacturers of wool. These committees urge that no reason can be shown why subsidies should be offer ed for foreign competition by the repeal or reduction of the tariff, and they surest that wisdom, as well as patriotism, requires that all American productions shall have the fostering care of the government as the safe guard of American nationality. That we urgently reijui-st congress to immediately pass a joint resolution correcting tlie present erroneous classification of worsteds, by di recting that they be clashed as woolen cloths. That we favor the passage of the senate bill known at the .ldriuh bill, to suppress under valuations of imiHirts." Cheer for the StriKers. Readixo, Pa., Jan. lo.

Snarliey of Port Richmond pre sided. The miners had no direct representa tion on the floor because il was the railroad ers' convention, but a number of coal region authorities were in attendance, who, during the proeeedinga, reported the condition at the mines. Chairman John L. Lee made a lenghty siecc!i showing how the company's miners nearly to a man were backing up tho tram men's strike and would never return to Work unless the company conceded tu the demands of the men, Katiuniil Master Workmen Lewis of Shaw nee, Ohio, related how al! his attempts to artiitrate had failed, and then declared that f illy ! per cent, of the coal miners were' out aud would remain out until the company agreed to arbitrate all jeest:o;is, commen cing with the diilliihy at Elizabeth port. KciMirts were heard from all along the line showing that the strikers were still out and firm. There was not so much enthusiasm notice able at this convention as was the case when the first session was held last month hut the bailor leaders declared that lliere asjust much ib'tenuination anion ' the men as ever. The Reading Railniad officials claim there will lie serious breaks in the ranks of the miners to-morrow, and that in' all probuhili- tv a half a il en colleries will lie started up to-morrow with quite a number of men each. To-day's convention, it is believed, shows that in some sections the iicn arc wavering.
