IN CONTROL , RULES THE NEW YORK DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. State Democracy Men Leave tbe Hall* and Senator Hill and His Friends Have It All Their Own Way—The Platform and Ticket. Row to the Tiger. There was an exciting scene in the New York Democratic State convention at Syracuse when the delegates of the State Democracy

rose in a body and left the hall. This action, according to a press dispatch, was caused by the adoption of the report of the Committee on Credentials. The anti-Tammany Democrats of NewYork City considered a fifth of a loaf worse than no bread at all. The proposi-

tion to give one-fifth of a vote to each of their delegates, giving four-fifths to Tammany, was rejected by them, though indorsed by the convention. A final struggle was made by the Cleveland men in a motion to allow them one-third representation. or 35 votes to 70 for Tammany. This was voted down and they left the hall, taking their one-fifth representation with them. Senator Hill voted with Tammany for the report and against the motion, an early morning conference having resulted in a patching up of his differences with the tiger. The State Democracy might have accepted the one-fifth representation if it had not been coupled with the hard conditions of a recognition of Tammany Hall as the regular party organization, entitled to recognition in all future conventions. The one-fifth representation was to be accepted not as a right but as a sop to harmony, and'the State Democracy promptly decided to reject it and enter a vigorous protest. Charles S. Fairshild. of New York, said when he left the convention: “The Associated Press can an nounce that we will have a ticket of own on all local issues.” The resolution adopted by the Committee on Credentials read as follows: “Tammany Hall is entitled to recognition in all future conventions as regular, and its delegates are to be placed upon the preliminary and other rolls thereof, and, in the appointment of inspectors of elections, the use of the party emblem and in every other way in which the question of party organization may arise, said Tammany Hall organization shall be recognized and seated as the regular organization of the party in New York County, but in the interest of hajmony at this time the committee recommends, subject to the aforesaid conditions, that the sitting delegates, as well as the delegates known as the State Democracy, be admitted to the convention with one-fifth of a vote to each State Democracy delegate and four-fifths of a vote to each Tammany Hall delegate.” The resolution was adopted by a vote of 32 to 17. Senator Hill voted yea and William B. Kirk, of Onondaga nay. A

motion to give the State Democracy one-third of a vote each was lost by a vote of 22 to 27, the nays including Hill and Kirk. The rank aud file of the State Democracy were at' first inclined to accept the half loaf, but when Mr. Fairchild arrived he vig-

orously protested against surrendering any rights. The Grace-Fairchild people left the hall, and as they filed ont there was a repetition of the scene in the Democratic convention of 1894 at Saratoga. They were alternately cheered and hissed. When the tumult had subsided the report of the Committee on Permanent Organization was read, and the chairman appointed John Boyd Thatcher and James N. Sheppard to escort ex-Gov. Flower to the chair as permanent chairman of the convention. The platform as adopted declares for home rule in cities, economy in public expense, an orderly Sunday without blue laws, home rule in excise, equal taxation, honest elections, good roads, opposition to trusts, Federal taxation for revenue only, “sound money,” and a vigorous enforcement of the Monroe doctrine. The administration of President Cleveland is indorsed and that of Gov. Morton denounced. The following ticket was nominated without opposition: Judge Court of Appeals. .. .Judge Teller Secretary of State Horatio C. King Comptroller John B. Judson Attorney General Norton Chase TreasurerD. C. DowState Engineerßussell Stuart IN AID OF COMMERCE. Navigation Topics Carefully Considered at the Cleveland Conference. The International Deep Water Association, which met at Cleveland, proved a large success in the number of attendants. The real test of its practical importance may not come for a long time yet. It is certainly encouraging to have this evidence of interest. The relative importance of water-ways has greatly decreased, it is true, since the days of De Witt Clinton and the Erie Canal, but from a positive point of view their importance has greatly increased. At the opening of the session a partial report of the Committee on Credentials was submitted, indicating the presence of 330 delegates from fifteen States and Provinces. President Howland said that he had received a communication from Sir Mackenzie Bowel!, Premier of Canada, designating an eminent engineer, Mr. Munro, to represent the Canadian Government at the convention. Mr. Howland then invited Lieut. George P. Blow, who came to the convention as a representative of the United States Government, and Mr. Munro to take seats on the platform. He said the action of the two Governments in sending representatives to the convention did not in any way commit them to the policy of the convention. After adopting a rule limiting speeches to ten minutes, discussion was declared in order, and Mr. Richard R. Dobell, of Quebec, and Mr. A. L. Crocker, president of the Minneapolis Board of Trade, gave abstracts of the papers which they had prepared on “Export Lumber and Timber Trade.” Mr, Dobell in closing cordially invited the convention to meet next year in Quebec. Alexandgr Li-

Smith. secretary of the Executive Canal ] Committee of New York, read a paper upon the subject of "An Improved Erie Canal Offered to Lake Commerce as a Substitute for a Ship Canal.” Mr. Smith said that the people of New Y'ork were intensely interested in cheap transportation and the commerce of the great lakes. He detailed at length the proposed plans for improving the Erie Canal and expressed the belief that when the work of deepening that watfl-way had been completed the canal would easily accommodate the lake traffic to the sea. Prof. Emory R. Johnson, of the University of Pennsylvania read a paper on tbe "Effect of Deep Water Between the Great Lakes and the Sea Upon Railway Traffic and Profits.” CLEVELAND’S DEADLINE. Which No Person Can Pass Without the President’s Consent. When President Cleveland gets to Gray Gables, his country place on Buzzard's Bay, he feels quite safe from annoying visitors. The place is so situated naturally that it is impossible for anyone to get to the house without the President’s consent. Should the visitor attempt an entrance to the domain by water he would | find at the lioating dock, where alone it ; is possible to land, a man on guard who j would tell him that “Mr. Cleveland is ' engaged.” Much the same performance is gone ' through with by those who approach on I land. They have to traverse half a mile ! of private road before they reach the I lodge. There is no other road leading to Gray Gables, and any one on foot who ' attempted to cross the marsh near the I estate would have a sorry time of it. At the lodge visitors are met by officers i of the secret service. If they are per- I sonal friends of the President or are ex- | pected, they are allowed to go on. If they are there simply out of curiosity or with the hope of seeing Mr. Cleveland, they Buzz arc’s I Mu \ .. 'v-ssruae ysw a MAP OF MB. CLEVELAND'S GBOVNDS. are allowed to go to "the deadline” as it is called. Beyond that may no man pass without Mr. Cleveland's direct permission. This “deadline" is established just west of the stables. It was placed there so that vehicles could have an opportunity to turn around in the open space in front of the carriage shed. The driveway is too narrow to turn in any other place. From this outpost messages and cards are taken to the house, while visitors wait with a hope that is almost sure to be blasted. * The occasion for the establishment of “the deadline” was not so much to keep at a distance importunate office-seekers as to put a stop to the great annoyance which over-curious people subject the President’s family to. Until the "deadline” edict wont forth, wagon loads of people from all around would drive into the President's grounds, pull up directly in front of the north piazza, the favorite gathering place of the family, and stare at the people who happened to be sitting there in away that was, to say the least, embarrassing, pointing out each individual and commenting audibly. After a year of that sort of thing every day. with no holiday from the ordeal of inspection, even on Sunday, Mr. Cleveland established “the deadline." He said he was not only willing, but felt much complimented to have his fellow citizens make trips to see his home nnd his grounds, but he seriously objected to having his family and himself pct on exhibition like so many freaks in a museum. He thought he was entitled yr a littie of the domestic privacy which is accorded without question to his 60.000,000 fellow citizens. CONVENTION OF IRISHMEN. A Militia Organization of IrishAmericans Is Advocated. The great national convention of Irish societies was opened in the Young Men's Christian Association Hall in Chicago with a large representation of Irishmen from all parts of the country. Nearly I, delegates were in attendance. The convention lasted three days. One general object was the formation of a united open organization for the furtherance of the Irish cause. Those who issued the call for the convention claim that it is not contemplated that physical force shall be used or advised in the attainment of the independence of the Irish people as a nation, “unless such means be deemed absolutely necessary and the object in view be probable of attainment.” Little time was lost in preliminaries and the election of permanent officers was put through at a rapid pace and with uninterupted harmony. The report of the Committee on Permanent Organization did not meet with the slightest opposition, the following officers being unanimously elected: J. F. Finerty, Chairman; J. P. Sutton. Secretary; J. F. Keating, T. H. McGravey and J. O. Strain, Assistant Secretaries: Vice Presidents, J. M. Kennedy, Montana: C. D. O'Brien, St. Paul; C. F. Driscoll, New Haven; I’. J. Judge, Holyoke; Cornelius Harding, Pittsburg. Considerable enthusiasm was created by a motion to add O'Donovan Rossa to the list of vice presidents, but Mr. Rossa declined. Any doubts as to the earnestness of the “new movement” towards freedom for Ireland, were set at rest when Chairman John F. Fineray, in an address to the convention, declared for an Irish-American standing army which shall be ready to do battle for Ireland whenever opportunity may present itself. The boldness of the plan as outlined by the ardent speaker created a sensation. The Turkish authorities at various ports of Asia Minor, notably at Beyrout and Samsun, art again subjecting packages sent by the American Bible House for the mission stations to fresh examinations and delays at the port of arrival, notwithstanding the fact that all packages are carefully examined by the customs authorities at Constantinople and duly sealed by that body. The molders in two of the largest iron foundries in St. Joseph, Mo., the Ambrose and Columbia, went out on a strike. edli.g skt hours. The men have beer on phort hours for several months.

FREE WOOL POPULAR HIGHEST AUTHORITY ARGUES AGAINST DUTIES. Ohio Republican Orators Unconeciously Play Into the Hands of Democrats—Judge Babb’s Concise Refutetion of High-Taxers’ Claims. Lesson of England. The Dry Goods Economist, the leading organ of the dry goods trade, has an article in its issue of Sept. 7 entitled "Profitable Wool Growing—Why the American Farmer Siu uld Need No Protection on tile Product of His Flock." It produces from the United States Government rejwrt "Wool and tbe Manufactures of Wool. In'.H." the following diagram showing the comparative production of wools in the different countries of the earth: Australia. Russia. Argentiue Republic. United States. United Kingdom. All other countries. The Economist reasons as follows: "Most people will admit that the doctrine of free raw materials is. theoretically at least, right and generally justified by circumstances and conditions. Generally speaking, tbe only application of the theory to which exception is taken.is in the matter of free wool. In spite of the general benefit conferred by the abolition of the duty on wool it is still claimed in some quarters that the American woo! grower is entitled to protection from foreign competition. "Yet why he should be thus favored it is difficult to see. Certainly he has had plenty of time and a fair chance to show what he can do in tbe way of producing wool profitably, and if be has not succeeded it seems hard on the textile manufacturers that they should be debarred from free entrance into the world's markets when they wish to purchase wools of other classes than those produced in this country. "It would certainly seem that the domestic wool grower has not yet made out a good case for himself, since in spite of the enormous difference in area this country's production of wool is not sc very far ahead of that of Great Britain. Small ns the latter country is In size, in the production of wool she stands fifth among the countries of the world.”

lt says that the surprising fact that England, with high-priced and highly taxed lands, can compete freely with Australia, the Argentine and the sheep raising sections of the United States, ■with their cheap grazing lands and other natural advantages, is partly accounted for by the enterprise of English wool growers. Without peculiar fitness of soil or climate excellent results have been obtained by careful breeding and by confining each breed of sheep to the setions to which it is best adapted. The Lincolns, the Leicesters. the Cotswolds. the Southdowns are well-known varieties of sheep sought after by sheep breeders in all parts of the world. Continuing the ; Economist says: “The lesson is obvious If the Eng lish farmer, handicapped aa bt la, can • make a success of sheep raising and wool growing, the American farmer, with cheap land and other advantages, ought to be able to compete at least i equally well with the other wool-grow-ing countries. It would seem that the American woolen manufacturer would | better recall the old adage that ‘charity | begins at home.’ and look out for his own interests, leaving the American farmer to study out the secret of sue cessful and profitable wool growing." When such a representative journal as the Dry Goods Economist takes this position it is evident that free wool has become popular with manufacturers and dealers and that they will in future not assist McKinley or the Ohio political wool growers association in putting wool back on the dutiable list. Free wool has made friends and in doing so has weakened the support of protection. The arch of protection is unstable without the keystone of free wool. Can the Republicans replace this keystone? The Campaign in lowa. In lowa, as in Ohio, the Democrats propose to force the fighting on Stat" issues. Fully three-fifths of Judge Babb's speech at Cedar Rapids, opening the campaign, was devoted to such issues. Yet, as in Ohio, there is no disposition to evade national issues or avoid the defense of Democratic national policy as expressed in the new tariff law. Regarding the tariff. Judge Babb restated very clearly the difference between a Republican tariff for protection and a Democratic tariff for revenue. He made it as clear as day that there is a very wide difference between a tariff purposely intended to enable favored classes to raise the prices of their products and thus to increase their gains out of the earnings of those not so favored and a tariff intended only to bring revenue into the publie treasury for the necessary purposes of the Government. Judge Babb clearly exposed the injustice of a tariff of the former kind, and especially emphasized the injuries inflicted by it upon its victims. especially farmers, whose industries are such that no law can increase the prices of their products. But Judge Babb was especially interesting when he passed from the discussion of the general principles underlying tariff laws and spoke f the effect of the law of Aug. 28. 1894. He recalls the Republican predictions that tills measure “like a cyclone, was to sweep out of existence all our manufactories’’ and spread dire disaster and ruin ev-

crywhere, and then proceeds to state

the facts. | He first shows from the record that j the new tariff, so far from reducing the revenue, as was predicted, has increased it. He shows that while tbe customs revenue for the last eleven months of the McKinlev tariff was only $112,641,555 it has been $145,752,320 during the expin'd eleven months under the new tariff. An increase of $33,000,000 in eleven months under the extremely unfavorable conditions which prevailed when the law first went into effect is not a bad show ing. Then he proceeds to direct attention , to the well-known fact, the fact which all the organs of McKinleyism are i forced to admit in their news columns |, if not editorially, that our manufactur-1 ing industries have not been ' from the face of the earth. On the I, contrary, business has been steadily re- ■ ] viving. the wheels of industry have ; been resuming their revolutions, more :, men are employed than under the McKinley law and their wages have been | . increased. There is nothing in this for ; Democrats to be ashamed of. except ' that they were not courageous enough I to go further than they did and give ( the country a more liberal and, there- | fore, a more beneficent tariff law. '. The Ohio Candidate and Issue. The Republicans of Ohio make no , secret of the fact that McKinley is their candidate for I'resident, logical or il- ' logical as the case may be. McKinley's I, platform is. therefore, a matter of some i, publie interest. In the first place, he does not seem to ; i look for any tariff legislation for the ; : next two years. After that be predicts there will be some legislation along his , : lines. "No man can tell what the i' schedules and rates may be. for these I must depend upon conditions existing , at the time. Brtt this is certain, that i whatever the great principle of protec- l tion tv American interests and labor in- I, dicates as essential to good wages, ex- I panding production and general pros- I ( perity these will be the rates that are • ( bound to prevail. Schedules may be I altered and rates changed to meet ex- I, isting conditions, but the principle of I ■ protection eaunot be changed. It is unalterable.” Translated into good, plain English, i this means that whatever crowd offers to contribute the most fat to the tank containing the lubricant for the Republican machine will get the kind of schedule and the kind of rates it wants. ' The real infants among the industries will get the marble heart, because , they are too lean to contribute to the I campaign tank. It was so in‘lß9o; it will be so if the people give tbe Republi- | can party, with McKinley at the bead of . it, an opportunity to make another ; application of "the great principle of protection." “Redprocsty. too. will not be over- i looked." says McKinley. "A policy will i n.-. be abandoned • • • that takes | the products of other countries which 1 we do m*. pr- 'mn that I j they fr-vly admit our products and manufactures int-. their markets on , terms f mutual advantage and profit” j Undoubtedly this policy will be re- j stored if the Republicans are given a chance to n-st-re it. f ; it is a part of i protectionism. ; “The great principle” underlying It is ' that the American people are a lot of dunces who don't know for themselves ■ when a trade is profitable and when it ' is not who cannot la? trusted to buy and 1 s*-ll as they please across national lines and who need a lot of guardians in Washington to tell them what they ( may buy and how much they may trade, j The whole "principle" is a flagrant insult to the intelligence of a people who < boast that they have no superiors in the j world in a trade. < It is to be hoped by Democrats that the Republicans will nominate the Ohio Napoleon next year on this "great principle.” —— Logic of Republican Contention. The Republican press have at length, after much delay, come to recognize the fact that the times are prosperous. But they all have an excuse for it It is all due. they say. to anticipation of Republican victory in 181)6. The cause always used to come before the effect, but our Republican logicians find no difficulty in au effect that comes a long while before the cause. According to tliis theory, if the Democrats should win next year, as they are likely to do, we shall be treated to a spectacle of an effect without any cause whatever. I) From Prostration to Prosperity. The McKinley law found the country prosperous and left it prostrate. The present law found the country prostrate and helped it to its feet. To say that I full prosperity returned at once would be to talk nonsense, for business when so grievously wounded cannot recover in a day. But it is not too much to say that business has been improving stea l ily ever since, except so far as the Republican legislation on the currency has tended to retard it They Care for Place, Not Principle. The Ohio Republicans are running a Foraker candidate on Sherman-McKin-ley issues. This looks like harmony, but It is nothing of the sort. The Foraker gang are willing to let the Sher-man-McKinley crowd do the talking on the stump so long as they eave a show for every office in sight themselves. The Foraker gang don't let issues bother them. Like Artemus Ward's showman, they haven't got a principle in thew. Necessary Changes Slade. The Hartford Times (Dem.) notices Mr. Sherman's statement that “the McKinley law, with such changes as time may make necessary, will accomplish the purpose of tariff legislation,” and says: -somebody should tell the distinguished Senator that necessary changes have already been made in the McrLiuirj . Tlit y arc '.vorkiZig very satisfactorily.”

WITHOUT FOOD OR SLEEP, THE TORTUROUS TRIAL OF MISS CALLIE HUMMEL. Doctors Said She Had Chronic Trouble of the stomach, an 1 Could Not Be Cured -She H as Now Recovered Her Good Health and Spirits, and the Neighbors Sax It's a Miracle. From the heir Era, Greensburg, Ind, The editor of the New Era had iieirl that Miss Callie Hummel, of Sunm > i. Ripley County. Indiana, had been <un i of a severe case of chronic stomach trouble and dysinqisia. As the story sounded almost improbable, we determined to learn the truth of the matter, and went to Sunman the other day for that pur; .. . We called on Miss Hummel and found her to be a beautiful and charming young lady still in her teeus aud quite intelligent. The glow of perfect health appeared on he.- ruddy cheeks, and she was not the least disinclined to relate her marvelous experience: "f had stomach trouble and dyspepsia nearly all my life," she said, in her pleasant way, "and the older 1 got the worse it grew on me agd the more severe it beca:ue. 1 could eat scarcely anything ami si. . p was e rarity with me, my trouble was so painful. After doctoring with my physiciau here for several year*, he failed to do me any good beyond tbe reach of medical aid. 1 went to Cincinnati, where I was treated by the ablest physicians without the least success. Discouraged aud distressed, I returned home aud began trying the many different medicines w. . h I saw advertised, but not one did me the least noticeable good. My troubles steadily grew worse, and, in almost unbearable misery. I became sadly de«i>omleut .r.l j grew pale and thin as a skeleton for want of sleep and food, but neither could I enjoy. My mother saw an article about ! Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and their n..irvelous cun's, and they were a God- ud to me. I had lost al! faith in medic ue and had given up all hope of recovery, grim death staring me in the face > - wouldn’t let me rest, however, till 1 4 tried a box of the Pink Pills. With the first box I began to feel better, my ap;. tite was partially restored and I could sleep. Within a short time I had tak.-n some seven or eight boxes and I was. as you see me to-day, in perfect health, a:. 1 able to sleep soundly enough, with au appetite that 1 can eat almost anything without reluctance. I feel that 1 owe everything to Dr. Williams' Pink I' is. and do not hesitate to recommend them through your paper to suffering humanity. I earnestly reeomutend them for building up tbe blood, for they proved a great w nder for that in my case." Such was the w Siderfu! story as told by Miss Hummel herself. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are now given to the public as an unfailing blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all forms of weakness arising from <i watery condition of the blood or shattered nerves. The pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of price (30 cents a box. or six hews for S 2 50 - they are never sold in bulk - r by the 100), by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company. Schenectady. N. Y. An Immense Trout Hatchery. Dr. F. J. Bethel,a well known dentist of Bakersfield,is at the Baldwin He spoke yesterduy of his recent trip to Seattle. “While in Seattle,’ said Dr. Bethel, “I learned of an immense trout hatchery to be established atOriliin, on Sprink Brook, about four miles north of Kent, and thirteen miles from Seattle, on the Northern Pacific . Sprink Brook is a branch of Black River, and at the place chosen for the enterprise it is the purpose of the company operating it to construct dams, where there are the most springs, on the brook bottom. This insures a constant supply of fresh water, and several miles o? artificial lakes will thus be secured. When the trout have attained a certain age they will be transferred to the lake next below, and so on to the end, when they will be fit for the market. Fifty acres of land will be covered by these lakes. It is also the purpose of the management to allow fishing in the lowest lake and charge fishermen for what they catch. The hatchery is to be known as the Sprink Brook Trout Fann and will be the largest in the United tates. Fish That Cannot Swim.

More than one species of fish is met with which cannot swim, the most singular of which, perhaps, is the maltha, a Brazilian fish whose organs of locomotion only enable it to crawl or walk or hop after the manner of » toad, to which animal this fish to some extent bears a resemblance,an 1 it is provided with a long, upturned snout. The anterior (pectoral) fins of the maltha, which are quite small, are not capable of acting on the water, but can only move backward and forward, having truly the form of thin paws. Both these and the ventral and anal fins are very different from the similar fins in other fishes, and could not serve for swimming at ail. Other examples of non-swimming fishes include the sea horse, another most peculiarly shaped inhabitant of the sea. which resembles the knight in a set of chessmen; and the starfish, of which there are many specimens, which mostly walk and crawl on the shore or rocks, both being unable to swim.
