Senator Ingalls, in his memorial ad dress of the late Representative Burnes, (who was a native of Vermillion county, this state,) furnished additional evidence of his rare ability as a master of the English language.

What has become of Mills, of Texas, the leader of the house? Cleveland is still writing vetoes of pension bills, but the last we heard of Mills was several days ago when, resting his head on his hands and his elbows on his desk, he was staring into vacancy.

The firet dip into the affairs of the state insane hospital shows how well founded has been the suspicion of corruption in that institution. Open all the books and bring forth all the disagreeable facts. It won't do, now, to use whitewash.

Perhaps the trouble with Ohio Republicanism is that it is too enthusiastic. T|jere was a good deal of enthusiasm yesterday evening in that part of the state through which General Harrison traveled and such enthusiasm gives a good insight into Foraker's remarkable popularity in the state. Undoubtedly he is an Ohio Republican. They are, like him, tired up ready to blow off.

The London cable correspondent of the associated press should bs informed that the people in this country have no patience with any views the London Times may express as to our affairs. What it thinks of the effect of new states in the Union is superfluous. The The London Times may have thundered in times gone by but its giving forth now is not impressive. It has lost its usefulness. It is no better than the New York Truth that fathered the Morey forgery.

There have been many accounts of a scene in a committee room of the senate in which Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, and Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, were the belligerant actors. The variance seems to be as to whether the Kentucky senator pulled the ear of the New Hampshire senator. All accounts agree that tbe latter referred to the former as a slave driver and that thereupon the gentleman from Kentucky with a mustache used much blackguardism. The ear-pulling feature of the undignified scene is the incident left In doubt. But, that aside, why should Blackburn become enraged by the reference to hie connection with slavery'' Perhaps he never was a slave driver, but he bushwhacked for the cause ot slavery. Perhaps he did not pull Mr. Chandler's ear, but he could have done so because Chandler is insigniftcent in stature compared with himself. A bushwhacker would pull the ears of a smaller man.

TRADE AND LABOR NOTES."

The Bourne manufacturing company of Boston, Mass., has purchased a tract of land in Hazelwood, a suburb of Anderson, and will establish a piano factory on a large scale.

A counterfeiter of tbe blue label adopted by the Cigarmakers' union was fined $50 in the police court in Buffalo, and the decision was affirmed in the supreme court of the Btate last week.

The cigarmakers are winning all along the line in suits to protect their union label. The circuit court of Jackson county, Mo., in a suit entered against the Lasker cigar company by the officers of Union 102, for counterfeiting their label, granted a permanent injunction, although the infringement was very slight.

The miners of the Knightsville district, at a.recent meeting, passed resolutions declaring that Mr. Penna's

Bpeech

at the meeting of the miners and operatore, in criticism of the legislature, was uncalled for and unjustifiable. They also approved the action of the legislators in trying to pass measures in the interest of the union.

The workingmen of Minneapolis are hot. The heat was generated by the action of the city council in repealing a resolution that had formerly been passed by that body, making eight hours a day's labor* in that city. Every individual workingman in Minneapolis has provided himself with a scalping knife and a tomahawk and is awaiting the next charter election to get satisfaction.

A bill has been introduced in the Pennsylvania legislature to prohibit the sale of dressed beef unless it has been butchered in the state. The bill is bitterly opposed by the state legislative committee of the Knights of Labor on the ground that it would give the local butchers a monopoly, and thus increase the price, while at the same time it would decrease the wages of the journeyman butchers.

A special from Tacoma, W. T., says that the big lumber mills on Puget sound at Port Gamble, Port Ludlow, Port BleakIey,Port Discovery, Port MadisoD,

Utsalady and Tacoma shut down on Friday for eight days at the command of the lumber trust to which they all belong. Over fifteen hundred men are thrown out of work. Dull market is given as the cause for the shut-down, though there is really an active demand for building purposes, and mills outside fcHo truofc ore making good eeloo.

The Iron Age says the current year opens with the largest output of pigiron in the history of iron making. The anthracite and coke furnaces produce 142,452 gross tons per week, or more than seven million tons annually. The yearly output of the charcoal furnaces are 500,000 additional. The anthracite furnaces in blast January 1, 1889, were 107 stacks, with a total weekly capacity of 38,726 tons. There were out of blast 7J. stacks, making the total number of stacks 178. The stacks out of blast had a capacity of 19,986 tons.

The tomato canning industry was large last year. A pack of 3,319,437 cases of two dozen cans each is reported against 2,817,048 cases for 1887—an increase of "00,000 cases. The average consumption for the past six years has been about two million five hundred thousand cases. Assuming, therefore, that the demand for the current year will be only a normal one. there will be a surplus of from five hundred thousand to eight hundred thousand cases to be carried over. Low prices stipulate consumption^ however, and as prices are'eertain to be low, the surplus may not be so- large as present figures indicate.

Thai announced reductions in wages of employes of the Reading iron works at Reading, and the Brooke iron company at Birdsboro, went into effect yesterday. Similar reductions to take effect at a later date have been announced in a number of other iron mills throughout the Schuylkill valley, and it has been intimated that the men would refuse to accept the reduction. The employes of the two firms mentioned, however, after holding meetings, went to work yesterday morning at the reduced rates and it is now believed that the reductions announced at other places will be accepted without further opposition. One thousand men are affected by the reduction at the Reading works and about two .hundred at the Brookes company. work for the Jenney electric light company. The committee that have undertaken the work of raising the $30,000, is deserving of the thanks of every one who cares for the welfare of our city.

If the Jenney shops are rebuilt here, the credit will be due to that committee and the public-spirited men who have aided them in their efforts. Tomorrow night should see the whole amount of $30,000 pledged. This matter once disposed of in a satisfactory manner, the beginning of a revival of business will be near at hand. It is certain that if no unforeseen misfortune occurs the year 1S80 will be one of great prosperity for our city. The large outlay that will be made in rebuilding the electric light works, the espenditure of the large appropriation for the enlargement and completion of the institution for the feeble-minded, the erection of the shops and factories of the Mahoning road aod of the Eastern car factory that is to build on their groundp. these and other improvements will make things lively in "Kekionga" before the year closes.

The eight-hour agitators have provided themselves with the following statistics in support of their arguments: In the manufacture of hats experienced men estimate that there is a displacement of ninety per cent, of labor. In the manufacture of flour there has been a displacement of nearly seventy live per cent, of the labor formerly required for the same product. In the manufacture of furniture from twenty-five to fifty per cent, of labor has been dieplaced. In the manufacture of metallic goods a saving of fully one-third of labor has been accomplished by th% use of machinery. A well-known paper manufacturer of New- Hampshire states that he now makes nearly three times the

amount of paper, with the same. num ber of employee, that he did twenty veare ago. In the manufacture of wall paper there has

AN AliL WOOL HOQUET.

The Mistake Made by an Attack of the British Legation.

Mr. George Barclay, an attache of the British legation at Washington, has of late been sufficiently epria of Miss Leiter, the beautifftl Chicago heiress. Mr. Barclay is the attractive young gentleman who won fame and money at the Knickerbocker club in New York by backing himself to drive to the Brunswick hotel, dress for dinner, and return in ten miuutes. 'He did actually accomplish this feat inside of seven minutes. It is undoubtedly owing to this nervous haste, abnormally developed in an otherwise slow nature, that Mr. UIINJIHY T1HB L1UW WJHCUEPTRBW ent mortification.

It seems that on Wednesday night Dr. Barclay felt the approach of the cold wave and purchased some of these woolen garments which stick closer than a brother to a cold man's leg. Tbe same afternoon he ordered a box of roses to be sent to his logings. Late for dinner, as usual, he rushed home, dashed off a pretty note to Mies Leiter, saying: "Wear these this evening for my sake," and handed the note and the box containing the woolen goods to his servant, who duly delivered them, while the box of roses remained upon Mr. Barclay's table. Although, perbapF, not quite so grievous an international affront as Lord Sackville put upon us, the views of the British foreign officer upon this latest misfit of diplomacy is awaited with sorao amusement and anxiety. As for Mr. Barclay's personal explanations, they are, of course, unmentionable.

It a Big: Country.

A good deal of jealousy has been awakened by the fact that Presidentelect Harrison has obtained his carriages, his clothes and his chef de cuisine in Chicago. But what can people expect when a man is called upon to preside over a country whose extent is well nigh boundless? If Mr. Harrison should buy hi9 hats in San Francisco, his shoes in New York, his books in Boston, his coats in Chicago, his cigars in Naw Orleans and obtain his servants from tbe four corners of the land he might prove his diplomacy but he would pay a high price for it.—[New York Sun.

The wide-spread dissatisfaction of boot and snoe workers attached to the Knights of Labor through National trade assembly 216, at the treatment they have received at the hands of the general officers of the Knights of Labor, has, says a Boston special, culminated in a powerful movement in the larger shoe towns to sever the connection of tbe trade with the Knights of Labor. At a special meeting Saturday night of the local assembly of boot and shoe workers of Dover, N. H., called to take action on the circular issued by Boot and Shoe Workers National trade assembly, No. 216, K. of calling upon all shoemakers under their jurisdiction to vote on the advisability of leaving the Knights of Labor and forming an international trade union of the craft, it was voted to withdraw from the Knights of Labor and form a local union to be attached to the Boot and Shoe Workers International union. Sunday night a similar meeting was held by the boot

THE STATE 8 FINANCES.

Governor Uovey Bends a Message to the Legislature.

Governor Hovey yesterday morning sent to the general assembly ihe following message: Hon. Mason J. Niblack, Speaker of the House of Representatives:

SIR: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of the house resolution No. 6, by which 1 am requested to transmit to the house a statement as to what may be the deficiency for the fiscal years ending October 31, 1889, and October 31, 1890, to carry OH the government of the state and meet erdlnary and extraordinary expenses during such fiscal years, and what amount of temporary loan, if any, necessary to conduct the business of the state.

The exact amount cannot be accurately stated but from the Information received from the audi tor and treasurer of state it can only be approximated.

Should the valuation of property for taxable purposes remain tbe same during the years 1889 and 1890, as now, viz: $769,747,008, and the present tax levy of 12 cents on the $100 valuation be continued, and the receipts from all other sources remained the same, which Is probable, the total amount of revenue collected for each of the years named will be near $1,400,CCD. The current ex penses, Including $125,000 for the legislative purposes of 1889. and the actual expenses of the state government for tbe fiscal year ending October 31, 1889. will require #1,864,970.

This amount Includes estimates for new state house, superlntendency, heating, janitors, water, etc.. and also the estimate for malntenauce of the northern hospital for the Insane, furnished respectively by the board of the new state house and Dr. Rogers, superintendent of the hospital at Logansport. To this should be added the amounts undrawn of tbe appropriations made by the general assembly of 1887, to-wlt: For soldiers' and sailors' monument $ 165,000 For soldiers' and sailors' orphans home For school for feeble-minded youths... For outstanding estimates allowed by the commissioners for additional hospitals for the Insane, unpaid, estimates 35,000 For outstanding estimates allowed by the mated 124,000

The Kansas Senator's Eloquent Address In tbe Senate. WASHINGTON, February 25. When

the resolutions of respeCT to the memory of tha late Repa iv re taken up in the senate to-day Mr.

Cockrell reviewed the life and chara of Mr. Burnes, and was followed by Mr Ingalls, who com-

JAMES E. BURNES. menced by saying: "These are the culminating hours of the closing scenes in tAe drama of our national life. When t|is day week returns one political party will relinquish, and aiother assume, the executive functions of government. On every hani are visible the preparations to 'welcome the coming and speed the partingguest.' 'Events of great pith and momen' are awaiting on the event of the briel interval. While pleasure wanders restessly through the corridors of the capita, hope and fear, ambition, cupidity anj revenge sit in the galleries or stand atjthe %ates eager (like the dying Elizafeth) to exchange millions of money forfhat inch of time on which sucjgj or failure, wealth" or penury, So nor or obloquy depend. At tbis. crisis and juncture, when every instant is priceless, the senate, resisting every inducement and solicitation proceeds by unanimous consent-to consider resolutions of the highest privilei 9, reported from no position on any. take precedence of and 'special orders', nd nays are never no negative vote

committee, having calendar, but which 'unfinished business on which the yeas called and on whio has ever been recor led, and reverently to the holiest lmnature, to conprofoundest mysclestiny—the mys[n the democracy least, are equal There is neither rati, nor station, nor prerogative in the republic of the grave. "At that fatal threshold, the philosopher ceases to be wf'se. and the song of the poet is silent. A.t that fatal threshold, Dives relinquishes his millions and Lazarus his rags. The poor man i§ as rich as the richest !and the rich man is as poor as the pauper. The creditor loses his usury and the debtor is acquitted of his obligation. The proud man surrenders his digDit-y, the politician his honors, the worlding his pleasures. Here the invalid needs no physician and the laborer rests from unrequited toil. Here, at least, is nature's final degree in equity. The irony of fate

pauses in obedience pulse of human template the tery of human tery of death, of death all meD,

refuted. The wrongs of

time are redressed and injustice is expiated. The unequal distribution of wealth, of honor, capacity, pleasures, and opportunity, which make life so cruel and inexplicable a tragedy, cease in the realm of death. The strongest has there no supremacy, and the weakest needs no defence. The mightiest captain succumbs to that invincible adversary who disarcBfe alike the victor and the va# quished. "James Nelson Burnes, whose life and virtues we oommemorate to-day, was a man whom Plutarch might have described and VanD.yke portrayed. Massive, ruggea BHCTTt5rouj,, in motion nuw, in speech serious and deliberate, grave in aspect, serious ia demeanor, of antique and heroic mold, the incarnation of force. As I looked for the last time upon that countenance from which (for the first time in so many years) no glance of friendly recognition nor word of welcome came, I reflected upon the impenetrable and insoluble mystery of dgath. But if death be the' encf, if the life of Burnes terminated upon 'This bank and shoal of time,' if no morning is to dawn upon the night in which he sleeps, then sorrow has no consolation, and this iat pressive and solemn ceremony, whicn was observed to-day, has no more significance than the painted pageant of the stage. If tbe existence of Burnes was but a troubled dream, his death oblivion, what avails that the senate should pause to recount his virtues? Neither veneration nor reverence are due the dead, if they are but dust no cenotaph shbuld be reared to preserve for posterity the memory of their achievements, if those who come after them are to be only their successors in annihilation and extinction. If in this world ofily we have hope and consciousness, duty must be a chimera our pleasure and our passions should be the guides of conduct, and virtue is indeed a superstition if life ends at the grave. This is the conclusion which the philosophy, of negation mustr accept at last. Such is the felicity of those degrading precepts which make the epitaph the end. If the life of Burnes is as a taper that is burned out, then we treasure his memory and his example in vain, and the latest prayer of his departing spirit has no more sanctity to us, who soon or late must follow him, than the whisper of winds that stir the leaves of the protesting forest or the murmur of wnves that break upon the complaining shore."

Eulogies were also pronounced by Senators Voorhees, Hale, Hampton, -Guke nml Vest. Th-e latter suggested 88 a fitting epitaph, "Here lies one much loved, much hated, but never despised by friend of foe."

The resolutions were adopted unanimously and the senate adjourned.

TO WALK TO WASHINGTON.

A New Yorker Will Do It This Week to Settle a Bet. Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.

NEW YORK, February 24.—Alfred A. Liscomb, a veteran fireman of 933 Eighth avenue, made three bets on the election with Mr. George T. Griffith, a Philadelphia banker. He is a Democrat himself and placed his shekels that way. He won on Mayor Grant and Mr. Griffith walked from Philadelphia in consequence. He also won on Governor Hill, and Mr. Griffith forfeited SI,000 rather than walk to Albany. Mr. Liscomb pinned his faith on Cleveland also, but the man of destiny went back on aim, and now he has got to walk from New York to Washington, a distance of 240 miles, in seven days, or transfer $1,000 to Mr. Griffith's bank account. Mr. Liscomb is a thin, wiry old gentleman, 56 years old, and weighs 145 pounds. At the barbecue of the veteran firemen last summer he captured the silver medal in the half mile run for members over 55 $eara old. ,He has long, gray side whiskers and hair of Jhe same color. Little daily jaunts of twenty-five miles or so have hardened his muscles and put hira in splendid condition for his task. About 6 o'clock Monday morning, unless zero weather scares him, he will start from Jersey City on his longjwalk. He intends to walk to Trenton on the first day, a distahce of fifty-six miles. Oa the following six days he will cover

about thirty-five miles a day, starting early in the morning and walking twentyfive miles before dinner. He is confident that he will succeed in covering the distance within the limited time, no matter what the weather is. Mr. Griffith and Stakeholder Asten will accompany him in a carriage, and he will also take a man along to take care of his things. "I will bs there for the inauguration," he said yesterday, "and will send my good clothe* ahead in a .trunk in case want to dance at the inauguration ball." y~

PREPARING TO VACATE.^" "f-

Mrs. Cleveland Packing Up Things at the ttfhlto Bouse. Special to tbe Chicago Dally News.

WASHINGTON, February 24—Mrs. Cleveland has been busily engaged during the last fortnight in packing away the accumulation of articles of personal value that, through presents and purchases, have gradually increased during the three years of her presence in the White house to rather imposing proportions. A president's moving day ought to be easier than that of other people, because there is no furniture to handle. There are two or three chairs which have been presented to President Cleveland and these, of course, will have to go with bim, but aside from these, some books, bric-a-brac, pictures, and the wearing apparel are about all that must be taken away. Nevertheless Che work appears to be heavy. The steward has nad big boxes made and placed in a room in the basement, and has already been at work for three weefcs in the intervals left by his other duties packing the president's goods in them.

Although the president's goods and chattels will have disappeared from the White house by Sunday night, the president and Mrs. Cleveland will not bid farewell to their home until later. It has been the usual custom for the outgoing president to give to his successor a lunch at the White house on the afternoon of inauguration day, and then to take his leave. That custom will-be followed on this occasion. After the ceremonies at the capitol and the review of the procession, Mr. Cleveland and the members of his cabinet, Mr. Harrreon, and Mr. Morton, with probably a law of their most intimate friende, will lunch at the White house, and then Mr. Cleveland will say good-by to his successor.

The president and Mrs. Cleveland will accept an invitation of .ong standing to be the guests of the secretary of the treasury and Mrs. Fairchild for their brief

Btay

in the city after the 4th of

March, where they may enjoy the repose so necessary before going to New York life.

The change of administration meanB the departure for the present, at least, of but five people from the White house —Mr. Cleveland, Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Folsom, Colonel Lamont, and Mrs. Cleveland's maid. There are two attaohes of the Cleveland household whose future is very doubtful. They are hanging on the ragged edge of uncertainty, but they don't know it yet. They are Kay, the big St. Bernard dog, and Hector, the French poodle. It is doubtful if Kay would be an acceptable guest at the Victoria hotel, handsome fellow that he is. In fact, he has been a sort of white elephant at the presidential mansion. He is at present confined in a watchhouse in the grounds, and there barks hie disapproval. Hector iB not so formidaUlc yx3\j% Ho uvulvl HTD in au uiUiuary house yet, he is no packet dog. He weighs about fifty

He will

probably stay with the steward. Mrs. Cleveland has seen very little of Hector for a long time now and the poodle spends his

steward of the White house.

Bicycles OR' the Sidewalk.

A novel case was decided Saturday by the supreme court, Chief Justice Elliott delivering the opinion, wherein it was held that a person who "rudely and recklessly" rode a bicycle against a man standing ou a sidewalk was responsible in damages for an assault and battery. The court in its opinion declares that inasmuch as bicycles are vehicles, and sidewalks being exclusively for the use of footmen, no one has a right to ride a bicycle on the sidewalk. Coincident with this case is the singular fact that Judge Coffey, one of the members of the supreme court, is confined to his bed suffering seriously from a blow received from a bicycle a few days ago, but after the decision of the court had been reached.
