Congress met last Monday and organized with the election of Reed, of Maine, chairman. Jefferson Davie, President of the late Confederate States, died at New Orleans Wednesday night, in the 83d year of his age. In tin south part of the State Harrison has been burnt in effigy, and ai In ianapohs a Republican league repud'ated his name and adopted that of Far veil of Illinois*

“On pensions lie reverts substantially to the position he took when a Senator. He would pension everybody who is in want.”—lndianapolis News, Republican. Harrison’s message evidently gives but little satisfaction to h ; s own party. See extarcts from the Indianapolis News, a loading Republican paper. Ihe sudden conversion of several Republics a Raders to tariff revision, proves that ti e Democrats were right and the Republicans were wrr nig on the tariff question. Ihe converted Republicans may have seen the handwrit.ng of the{ peo pie in the late elections. — Lafayette Journal. The Kokomo Dispatch truly says that the new election law will do more for the morals of Indiana and integrity of her ballot than all other laws on the statute books. It does away with the occupation of the boodler, and places the vena 1 beyond harm’s way.

Gov. Hovey announces in an interview th it he is opposed to the administration’s policy of repeal ing the tobacco and whisky taxes. It is hoped that our erratic executive has learned by this time that it is the republican party which desires to repeal those taxes, and not the democratic party as he announced in his lato lamented Elhart speech.—lndianapolis Sentinel. Judge Ward, of the Newton county circuit, has pronounced the new school book law unconstitutional. The Judge is like an exjustice of the peace of Goodland, who a few years ago pronounced the Baxter law unconstitutional and discharged the “prisoner at the bar.” Afterwards when the S preme court acquiesced in the 'squire’s decision, he complacently remarked that he was only slightly in Advance of the other distinguished jurists of the couhty. We don’t believe that in this ease the jurist will be sustained.—Goodland ' Hertld.

"i~.T'-‘'kt. There is one honest republican Vwbef in this state at least, ? and Wafts' the l&tataßvrile ’ which can not be bought or bribed into the support of the i. famous Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co. school book monopoly. Hear th e honest, outspoken, truthful opinion of the Journal: n The newspapers of this state that are doing everything in their power to keep up the price of school books and to fortify the power of the octopus—one of the most Unprincipled and corrupt monopolies that ever existed—are subjecting themselves to serious suspicion of mercenar 7 motived. It will not do for the republican party, or any other party to identic fj itself with the old school book fraud. Th? p3.?ple are “onto” itJ

NO PROTECTION NEEDED.

The English Weaver Gets as Much j Money as the American. •» Printed calico is a very well known fabric. Women make it into house dresses and morn > ing wrappers. In its indigo blue variety it provides thous - ands of waists for small boys. In coarser varieties, bed comforters have one or both sides made of it. In still another variety it is the material out of which printed shirts are made for men. In fact, its uses ai e endless, and its consumption is consequently very large. Before a piece of calico reach es maturity, as we see it, the raw cotton has to undergo different processes of manufacture. First, it must be spun into yarn. Then this yam is woven into a loose, soft, fluffy cloth. At this stage the fabric is called a print cloth. So far all the cotton travels together. Before it becomes any variety of printed cotton goods it must pass through the print cloth stage. What raw cotton is to the print cloth the print cloth is to* the finished fabric, it is a kind of raw material sos making printed cloths out of. ? Iso, like most raw materials, the terms of payment for it are very prompt. Net cash within ten days are the almost invariable ones.

Like many raw materials, all print cloths are the subject nt a good deal of speculation in “spots” and “futures.” It is not so many years ago since one very large manufacturing firm became bankrupt in attempting to corner the print cloth market by buying up futures. Another firm saw the and held nearly < million pieces of print cloths in reserve, which they successfully unloaded before the cornering fiirm suspected there was any such quantity of goods concealed in the market. The headquarters of the print cloth market is at Fall River, Mass. Under ordinary circumstances the print cloth mills in Fall River turn out 190,000 pieces of print cloths every week. Providence is also a print cloth cenier, though a smaller one. Its mills make 43,000 pieces of print cloths every week.

These 233,000 pieces are made for the open market, and are either sold to some printer as soon as they are made, or very often in the busy season are contracted for by the printers before the cloths have been actually manufactured. Of course there must be some standard in print cloths, otherwise the buyer and seller would be involved in endless disputes. So it is agreed by the trade that an ordinary piece of print cloth should be twenty-eight inches wide as it leaves 1 the loom;' that seven yards 6f this width of cloth should weigi»one pound avoirdupois; that the yarn out of which it 1 was woven should be within numbers on either side of what is called No. 30 yam, and, lastly, that one square inch of the cloth should have sixty-four threads each way. It is this ( latter requirement that gives the ordinary print cloth the common term of 6464,s—tl at is, sixtpf out t h reads warp crossed by sixty-four threads filling in each square inch. The curiout thing, aboutthis system ol measurment is that the same riilbs areJollowed in England byithe: iLaiicashirfe cotton Weavers. -Last year, Mr. HJ States consul nt Tunstall, Eng. land, took aver with him some specimens of Am erican priot cloths made at Lowell ■ in order to compare thein in the matter of cost with those made in Lancashire. After a long and very patient investigation. Mr. Schoenhof sent these results home to the state department, by which they were duly printed in the con - sular reports.

The first startling conclusion arrived at by the consul was that it cost more in wages to make a yard of print cloth in Lancasl ire than in Massachusetts. To make a pound of raw cctton into print cloth in America and England respectin el y. cost 8.551 cents and 9.685 cents. These figures are made up as follows: ’ otal cost es America. England. Spinning 1.992 1.708 Weaving .. 3.736 4.802 Supplies, etc 2.823 3.175 8.551 9.685 Looked at in another waj, the average daily rate of men, mule spinners, m Lancashire is from $1.23 To $1.68; ths average rate in Massachusetts is $1.50. For weaving, the piece rate per cut in Lancashire is 25 cents for 50 yards; in Mass, achusetts it is only 20 cents for the same length and size; or 25 per cent more is paid in England than in America. How, then, is it that we do not export print cloths to Eng-* land? For two reasons; One is that English print cloths are finished and doctored to look better than they are; the other is that the high protective tariff enables print cloth manufacturers to reap enormous profits at home. At this time of writing a yard of extra 64-64 print cloths sells at Fall River for 3| cents. The total cost, including a small profit to the manufact urer is only 3 1-16 cents. So that there is 9 16ths of a cent, or more than half a cent, of profit on each yard of print cloth sold at these figures. In this way it is no wonder that nearly all the Fall River print cloth mill have divided profits averaging over 10 per cent, during the last vear;and, at the same time, it should be remembered that their workmen struck unsuccessfully for a rise in wages last spring. When the workmen began to starve they went back to the old monopoly shop again. After ih.ise figuresand facts, vvho sha 1 say that protection and big profits mean better wages for workmen?

There is no reason why the producers of tobacco should be required, to pay taxes to the amount of $30,000,000 a year; and the Republican party is in duty bound to remove a burden which is so plainly unnecessary and unjust.—St. Louis Globe Democrat. They don’t pay a cent of it. They advance it, simply. They ado it to the price of their product, just as they do the amount they have paid out for labor, material, advertising, etc. The consumer pays every cent of the whole in the “nickel” or dime shat he pays for his cigar or tobacco. He, and he only, pays this tax, and he pays it of his own free will and consent. There is no such protection of tax in civilized, government, except the slmiUr tax on whisky and the tax of the postage stamp, and this is one reason why all civilized governments retain this tax oh tobacco and whisky—another being on moral jgrounds as to whisky. The debasement of the Republican paaty.<con science was never more sadly shown than in its willingmess to unfetter from tax those commodities—l 6 bac c o and whiaky**whfle retaining a higher tax on xflothes ana thu? necessaries of life; a doctrine tersely and strongly described naked ana get drunk.” News.
