Hon. Carter Harrisen was re-elect-ed mayor of Chicago with » Demo* (•ratio majority of over 10,000. Cincinnati. Cleveland aad other prominent cities have elected Democratic administrations. The metropolitan police system Is being inaugurated in Indianaoolis. — The Council has decided to not fight the new law. Kerttland Gazette, How generous and law-abiding! Even Democratic papers are yet discussing and criticising the late a vful legislature. Kentlund Gazette l’ot,, they are criticising, with a vim that faction of the legislature styled tlie lieutenant governor. The radical pres commenced with criticisms on Democratic members; but “lei up” so soon as they discovered s:»me thing serious “was the matter with Uanua-rl” ■ ■ Senator Reiser, of »be Winama Republican, discussing the failure the appropriation bill, says: |j.The Lieutenant Governor’s sigr.a*» tuae to the bill would have done no good, for the Governor could not, un der the Constitu lon, sign it; neither could it become a law without his signature. On the other hand, Representative Moody ha 3 this to say: The Legislature on the 11th day of March, 1863 passed the law admitting parties to suits to testify as witnesses in'Oourt, which day waa the sizty first day of the session uud the day of the general adjournment of the JLegisla- . t.ure. Now. Governor Morto filed this bill io the office of the Secretary of State on the same day the Lftffis lature udjourned, and the Supreme Court say in the 18th ludiana, on page 24, a ter quoting Section 14, Ar tide 5 of the Constitution: “When the Legislature, on the day of its final adjournment, in the due course of legislation, sends a bill to the Governor for bis official action and he on the same day, and after the final adjournment of the Legisla-ture,-flies tt in tne office or the Secretly of State without approval, or o jectiocs thereto, it becomes a aw from the hour the same was filed io the office of the Secretary of State." Considering the case cited, and the opinion of the Supreme Court sustaining i , we rather think Bto. Keh. soi is left. F. A. Conkling. Republican,charges that the Knit Goods Association raised $9J,000, most of which he declares a Congressional inr stigation would show went “into the pooaets of ocr upright legislator.” He also said there was an organized coDspir scy represented by the Knit Goods Manufacturers’ Association to cheat both people and Govt rnment out of enormous sums of racuey by manipulating importations of knit goods Demc ratio members voted against the knit goods monopoly every time. It might be well for the next Congress to go into a general roform es the - tariff, and also investigate this charge of Mr. Conkling.

DEA H OF PETER COOPER.

Peter Cooper, the venerable philanthropist,.died at his residence, in Ne.w York, April 4th, 1884, at 3:30a. m„ iu th e 93*1 year of bis age. Mr. Cooper had been ailiug for some time with a slight cold. About »n‘ hour before his death he called «< h s son, ex Mayor Cooper, and Mrs. Abram 8 Hewett, bis daughter, aad her iamily to his bedside, saying to them that he knew he bad not long o live, and they must become reeon eiied to the fact. He remained con acious to the time of his demise, and made several remarks iu regard to family affairs. During his last hours Mr. Cooper manifested bis great interest in the Cooper and •poke to ii«,wett, and his son, exMayor Cooper, about the manner in which the work should be carried on after his death.

[Peter Cooper was born in New York in 3791. His parents being in hutublo cire ims’an jes, he was obliged to pick up an education as best he could. At 8< venteen he was an ap» prentice at coach making. His first start toward a fortuue was by the invention of an improvemonr in ma~ chines for shearing cloth during the War of 1812-15 He then went into the manufacture of cabinet ware, afterward into the grocery business, and finally in the manufacture of glue and isinglass, iu which business be re maiued for ovei half a ceutury, iccu mulating a handsome fortune. In 1830 be built works for the manu'acture of iron, and afterward a rolling andfwire mill in New Yoik. In 1845 he bad a rolling mill for making rail roed bars at Trenton, N. J. At Bal timore, in 1830, he designed and built the first locomotive engine constructed in America, operating it on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. For e-gbteeu years he was President of the New York, New Fouadlaod and Loudon Telegraph Company. He also experimented successfully in a project for the best propelling power for boats on the Erie Canal, using the endless chain. Always fed in his native city, he was chosen to the Board of Assistants and of Aldermen. He was also prominen t in the establishment of the old Pub lie School Society. He aocompl shed the great object of his life, the establishment of an Institution, the Cooler Union, for free education.— In 1854 he laid the i>r .on o large building on Third and Fourt r venues in New Yoik, devoted to ar *nd science. This Institution no 9> *Til7over 2,000 pupils per year. 1

* has a seboel of art for women, a free school of telegraphy for yoong wowen, lecture rooms, reading rooms a library ol over 10.000 volumes The anLnal expense of this institution is about $60,000. In 1879 Mr Cooper added another story to this building. Mr. Cooper was a candidate for President of the United States on the Greenback Labor ticket in 1876[

NEW DEPARTURE.

A. Leopold has adopted a new method in his business, to which he claims he will strictly adhere. He sells, for cash, at 5 per cent, discount. It is a fine chance for cash buyers to save money, and we advise all who buy for cash to give him a trial in his new enterprise. He buys for cash, and thus derives a great many benefits -that those who buy on, time do not receive.

TAR FF ON LUMBER.

The prop), of Uu- West, and especially those living in the piairle States, have been endeavoring for years past to' have tfie tariff duty of $3 per l«oofeet on turn-b-r redirect: but the protectionists were too much for them. In the recent effort to amend the tariff law, the tax was continned. The new hill just passed, on this subject,reads as follows: Timb*r hewn and sawn, and timber •«««1 f« r spars and in building wharves. 30 per centum ad valnrum; timber,square or ni ed.not specially enmne ated or pro vidod for in this act, 1 cent per cubic toot; sawed boards, plank dials, and other lumber of hemlock, white wood, sycamore and basswood, $1 per 10* 0 feet board measure; all other articles ot saw c«J lumber, $2 [>er 1.000 feet board mess(iß**. But when lumber of any sort is pianed or fiubhed, in addition to the rates herein provided, there shall be lev ied snri paid, for each side so planed or finished, 60 cents per 1,000 feet board n:eaeure; and if planed on one side and • •ngued and grooved, sl,s<> per 1,00“ feet, board measure. Hubs for wheels, post, last blocks heading blocks, and all like blocks or Htlcks, rough hewn or saw--*d onlv 20 per centum ad valorem; staves >f wood of all kl*dx, 10 per cent, ad valorem; pickets and palings 20 per cent *d valorem; lathes, 15 cents per 1000 pieces; shingles, 32 cents per 1.00*; pine clapboards, $2 per 1,000; spruce clapboards, sl,s<* per 1,000. That our readers may fully understand the beauties of tli.s potective system, and who gets tile $2 on each 1,00 fee of lumber sold, we repr *duce the speech of John C\ Blanchard, a distinguished and nrh lumber .dealer of Michigan, de* livfered in the campaign in that State in iBB3. It contains much food for reflec tion, especia ly by people who want to build houses. He said:

I am high tariff op lumlter, but low tariff on salt, c«»pper, iron, wool, cotton, leather, glass, etc. I will tell you why . [ own timber lands and sell stumpage; beside* T operate largely myself, and this tariff puts money into my pocket. I get *2 per 1000 more for my stumpatte, and $2 per I,oo' more tor mv boards. I have just, sold B oo0,0»>0 feet at $16,5' per 1.000 mill run: a pretty good price.— [Voices: , *Tha' , s «o; that’s so ”] Well. I think so. too. But for the tariff I sho’d not have got »o much by $2 a thousand Now $2 a thousuid on 5 OUO.OOo is just SIO,OOO. That is the difference to me in •ne operation, between high tariff and free lumber. lam high tariff on lumber. * am. s ■This blessed tariff taxation, they tell us is all for the benefit of the American laborer * vl bat do you suppose I did with the slo.oo* ? Divide it among my workmen. Not a bit of it. Put it right/iown in this old calfskin wallet, I did. O' all the wotkmen I am the only protected American laborer! Wages depend upon supply and demand, my friends, and not on tatiff taxes When you see two men after one boss wages are low; when you see two bosses after one man wages are high; and that is the whole of it—the theory, principle and practice. lam high tariff on lumber; can you doubt it f And in this I can prove to you that I am a ('hristian. The good book tells us that he that providetb not f**r his own household hath denied the faith and is worse than an infidel. Now. I pro vid** for my own household, I do, lor I am in favor of a high tar* 11 on lumber Therefore I am a Christian and expect to go to Heaven “"politically. But you farmers who have houses, barns, sheds, tag-pens and fences to. build, wbat are vou? Infidels, every one of you—“worse than Infidels”— for you provide not for veur own household, bnt for mine! Now, if you won’t be Christians and provide for your households, just keep right on voting the Republican ticket and go to Hades. A little ca’.ou'ation will show the ex tent of this protection to lumber men when it is known that in the year 1880 the lumber product amounted to $235,367,720. The annual cut is estimated at 10,000 0 0,000 feet, while the ©mount standing, by the a >me authority, is estimated at 80,cOu,00.»,000 te*t. Don’t Forget It!—R. F.

RUNNING AFOUL OF A BUZZ SAW.

rrjr-y Hem. W. P FUhback, a pr »’miiu*B t IndUnaj oli* Republican, and opi*l Pying a position in the United »t. te» District Court. has addressed an open 1 tter to j Hon Stanton J Peelle, Republican , member of C otgress from the Tndianap | oils District, in which lie iqakeg gome 1 damaging charges against tiie Republicans of the Forty-Seventh ('(.egress ! We copy,from the Indianapolis Sentinel; Hon. Stanton J P belie : Drak bis: I bqve received under: cover of your frank that part of the : Congressional Record wtticli coi.»alns*he : text of “An act to reduce interim! revenue taxation, and ior other purposes.” I as- ' sume yon voted f* rti e hit! n« it finally passed and, ss *»ne of your c *neti nents, I wish to call your attention to some features of the law, which, if they may be taken as an indication of the pre«*nt policy and tendency of f*e Republican party, forbode Its defeat In the near fu ture. T saw the Whig party die because at so ailie its*lt t© slavery and espdal r that, in popnlar estimation, it became the enemy of the p< or. There ar indications that the politicians who rule caucuses and frame the policy of the Republican party are fatally bent on putting that organization in the same posit hr*. When Congress convened last December, ft was evident that, Hndt-r existing h.ws there would be too much nr ney <n tlie Treasury The most wasteful extravagance of expenditure, and loosest po**‘ibie administration of the Pension Department, would rot be sufficient to use up the surplus. Tt was conceded on all hands that taxes mu-t be reduced Hu manity, f© sav nothing f v«*o<l po icy, would suggest that whatever w.as don<* in the way of readjusting the taxes rod the tariff, slioni be done with a view of removing or lessening burdens which ex isting laws placed u|*on those who perform manual labor for wages. It is n**t necessary to remind you that th’s cla-s is seldom represented in the lobby, am) that whatever favors they get tu the way of legislation art* the re-ult of a sense of the justice of (their claims, or ofener, perhaps, a sense of fear of their displeasure. I msv be wrong, but a study of the law &a it stands has impressed me with the belief that it is a law in ti e interest of capital and ra<*t:opo It t*. f exoressly waive any diucussion'of the ab-tnet questions of free trade and protection. I recognize the fact that there is great diversity of opiuion amougst g.*od men of both parties on that subject, a. d it is plain, from what has thus far appeared, that the Senators and Reptesenia'ives from Indiana have giy-n it very little in. telligerit cousidera i >n. S > far ts Indi ana is concerned the tariff s* enis to be in the estimation et our statesmen, not a Jo cal question, as General tlaoc' ck s**id, but narrower than that, a per*** nal queetion concerning oue Mr. DePauw ot whom and his plate giass business the country has learned ad nauseam. But to the law. Why couldn't it have keen framed so as to remove rhe taxes which increase the cost of me food, shellet, clothing auo working tool- of laboring men? In whose interest did you repeal the tax taking off • anking capital, bank ooposits, hack checks and perfntue*yi Was ther.- a lobby of h»rdfl*ted Knights of Columbia theiv urging it? Who was it that insisted on a 20 ucr c* ut. ad Valorem tax on soap, 20 percent. u„ lan bark, 25 per cent a gallon on linseed oil, 26 to 30 percent, on brown earthenware and ©rockery 30 per cent, on slate pencils, four cents a pound on horse-shoe nails, 40 per cent, on bund saws, 25 p**r cent, on knitting, darpiug and sewing needles, a heavy tax on hoards, laths, shingles, to 8 and a ha t cents per pound on sugar and eight cents a gallon on molasses, and a heavy tax on every garment of wool, cotton, linen <*r lea her, which a Door man must, wear? You t»x his s' oes, Lis socks, the needles that knit his socks, his draw rs, his sbiri, his trowsers, his coat, his hat. You tax the imported salt which cures his bacon, but refund the lax ii the salted n.eai is sent abroad t»*- be cone-omul by I'orcguers. Now if these taxes are necessary iliey should be imposed without fear and in* y would he b*.rne without a n urmur But the people have sense enough to see that they aie uunecessaiy auJ oppress ve. Worse than this, it >g moraily c- mm -hat most of these taxes are imposed at n.e suggestion, it not the dictati *u of rich men who maintain a powtuul lobby at the National Capital. The effect of b uch legislation is to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. </an ike Republican party live on its remiuiHtenses w hue u continues to perpetrate sucb folly aod wicked tie**? ft is urged aud vou aau and other Indiana politicians have urued that taxes such as these are to protect The laboring men, aud I do not ques* ion your Sincerity.
