The 14th of April, the date appointod for the Democratic State convention, is a day well remembered by a good many people in this country. It was on the evening of tho 14tb of April that John Wilkes Booth assassinated Abraham Lincoln. Ax Eastern exchanjjo sayB that Senator McPhersou, of New Jersey, is the 'second choice of tho Cleveland men because ho was one of the three Democrats in tho Senate who voted against free silver. Rut Mn Cleveland friends do not seem to have a call on tho noinl- , nation. ' A well-known Wisconsin Democrat who acquired enough notoriety by one tcrm in Congress expressed the average Western Democratic opinion of Mr. Cleveland when ho said that "he was n Democrat on the tariff question, a mugwump on the civil-service hobby, and a , Republican on the silver issue." Governor Boies, of Iowa, tells the Legislature that tho present year, with , its better prices for agricultural products, is the best the State has seen for years. In other words, the' Governor is .going back on his year-ago declaration, 'in New York, that there was a loss to ' tho farmer of Iowa on every acre of corn he raised. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm "If you pass a free-coinago bill not one of us will get back here," said a . Massachusetts Democrat to hi3 fellows 'in tho national Ilouse. "If the House doss not go on record in favor of free silver it will displease all the Democrats in tho South and West, " says the Atlanta Constitution. It is a caso of "between tho devil and the deep sea." TnE report comes from Washington, by way of tho New York Sun, that Mr. t Mills, of Texas, has declared that the Democrats must either nominate Gov. : Jlill or some Western man for President, and this after all the Cleveland workers stood by him for Speaker. It is said, however, that Mr. Mills has a 'grie van co against Mr. Cleveland bocause he declared that he had no interest in the speakership contest. Referring to tho resolution of Jerry "Simpson to investigate Secretary Rusk's department, Professor Wiley, chief chemist, said that while Medicino Lodge, Kan., where Simpson lives, was tho 1 place where the interesting and very successful experiments were made in the application of alcohol in the manufacture of sugar from 6orghum, and a most important ono for Kansas, Simpson had r.over visited it. On tho other band, Senator Plumb spent two days at tho laboratory and in tho field, watching the results. Jerry Simpson has no interest in any agriculture in which calam-' ily is not the principal crop. The action of the Democrats of the New York Senate committee in tho conspiracy to unseat Senator Donaldson i? what tho Now York Times denounces as "monstrous and infamous." Tho board of canvassers had declared Don- . aldson elected by CCD majority, but as 'certain returns had been sent back to county clerks for correction, one attached to a return the red sample ballot i with the certificate that Donaldson had .received all tho ballots in the district like that attached, meaning that tho names were tho same. As the ballot, by law, should be white, and tho sample attached was not, Donaldson was ' counted out by the Hill committee, in .epito of the fact that only twenty-five, red ballots were printed for the information of the o flic era in the county, and that the stub-book showed that the ballots cast, which had been burned, wero white. This outrage has no parallel in election scoundrelism. Even the Now York World denounces it. Sentimental sympathy, in largo measure, will be extended to Princess Mary of Teck, who, by tho death of Albert Victor, loses not only a husband , but ft throne. Thi3 marriage cngagosnent has been widely heralded as a lovo match, but there is evidence not wholly concealed from tho publio that it was arranged by the deft matrimonial hand of her Majesty, the Queen, for reasons of state. It is not long since Albert' Victor was represented as being in a lovelorn condition through having been peremptorily ordered by his stern grandparent to refrain from paying his princely . addresses to a daughter of the houso of Orleans with whom he was greatly enamored. No French granddaughter-iu-law could bo tolerated in the family. An English girl must be found, and she was presently discovered in the person of . Princess Mary, who also had the advantage of beuy? of kia The two xnaj

have loved each other fondly, she being an amiable young woman and he of an obedient turn of mind, but it is doubtful if either would havo died broken-hearted if separation had come while both lived. Nevertheless, if she was ambitions and hoped to bo a queen some day, her disappointment will be great, and many will sympathize with her.

THE WARLIKE ATTITUDE OF CHILL The difference between our government and that of Chili is that the latter refuses to acknowledge its responsibility for the assault and murder of American sailors and make duo reparation. It assumes that our sailors wero the aggressors, and that tho polico of Chili did their duty, instead, as our testimony shows, of taking a hand in the outrage. So far as present information goes, they refuse to consider the American testimony or to make such an investigation as will be satisfactory to the United States. Thus far the government has been lenient and patient, because, representing the public sentiment, it would avoid a war with Chili or any other nation if it could be honorably done. But because the President has not been hasty or boisterous about this matter there Is no reason to believe that he is not carefully following it np, and that, when the caso is fully made np, he will present it to Congress as a basis for a declaration of war. There is, however, no occasion to bo excited, and certainly no cause to make mere proclamations. When tho United States government is about to go to war it must present to the people an ample cause, and fhow that there is no honorable alternative. In no manner has the administration become responsible for a war with Chili. It simply did that Cor which the United States caused Great Britain to pay $15,500,000 because the latter failed to do it; that is, failed to prevent a power at war with the United States from purchasing arras at her ports. Had this not been done the administration would have mado the United States guilty of a gravo breach of tho duties of neutrals. It was this observance of international law which is said to have excited the Chilian mob to make its murderous assault upon the American sailors. This is the case n? it now stands. It is said that tho President will soon present all the paper to Congress, with a view to a declaration of war. It is represented that certain parties are so anxious that they cannot wait, and will call upon the President to present them to Congress. Nothing can bo made by such a course. The sensible pcoplo of tho country of both parties have faith alike in the patriotism and discretion of President Harrison, and if any hysterical statesman assumes otherwise, or if it should seem to others, as has been intimated, that it would bo "good politics" to oppose the administration, both will make a mistake. Thero is no politics in tho Chilian affair. It is simply a question of requiring a government which refuses to comply with international law, written or unwritten, to comply. There is reason to believe that tho intelligent people of the Republic have that degree of confidenco in the judgment of tho President and his advisers that they will leave, to him to decide, if it becomes necessary, when tho time has arrived to declare war. MUGWUMPS IN 8EGEXT COBFEBEHCE. Seventeen mugwumps met in an upper chamber of a New York restaurant the other nightand in secret and solemn conclave resolved that a new party must be formed a party of which, as the irreverent chronicler has it, theso soveneen mugwumps would be the father ' and mother. George William Curtis presided, and among those present were William Dudley Foulke and LuciusB. Swift, of Indiana. Discussion over the political situation lasted for soveral hours, and it was finally resolved that in tho event of tho nomination of Blaine by the Republicans and Hill by tho Democrats tho new party was to be organized. A committee was formed to raiso money to establish literary bureaus throughout the country and goto prepare, tho voters for tho final great act. Another committee was appointed to prepare a platform, a candidate and a name lor tho party all of which are to bo announced nt the proper time, with an accompaniment of music and red fire. Although these seventeen gentlemen were so greatly excited and even agitated that their eyes fairly flashed and their chins quivered, it is gratifying to know that these manifestations wero the natural result of the tremendous enterprise in which they were engaged, and not the effect of improper stimulants. The Journal is informed' that coffee and cigars were tho refreshments of tho occasion, but it hastens to express its conviction that this report is incorrect, and that their nerves were buoyed up by tea and cigarettes or chewing-gum. At all events, the proceedings were conducted In a manner entirely amiable and ladylike, and the now party was born into an atmosphere of such perfect political purity that the vcrv presence of a man who wants a postofiico without standing an examination in English history and algebra for it will causo it to curl up in agony. After completing their great work and bracing up on a final cup of tea, the seventeen mugwumps stole cautiously home, feeling, as report has it, as if they had been real devilish. THE LEAD P&IKCS AND THE SUCCESSION. Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, and oldest son of the Princo of Wales, was a young man whohad displayed few qualities that commended him to tho English people as a desirable future ruler. He was of amiable disposition, but showed a weakness and effeminacy of character not in accordance with tho ideal attributes of royalty an ideal, by tho way, that history shows to havo been missed oftcner than it was realized in the lino of British kings. The young prince, however, had exhibited no particularly vicious traiU, and time and tht restraints of his position might have better Utted him for the honora to which

he was hoir. But, aside from the natural grief at the death of this son, the royal family and its especial supporters will regard the event as a misfortune in another sense. In the first place, it will have the effect of reopening popular discussion as to tho hereditary rights of kings always so ominous to the heirs of thronee, and which has already been offensively brought to the attention of the Prince of Wales. But the most calamitous result, in the eyes of the Guelphs,' will bo the fact that it brings tho family of the Duke of Fife more directly in tho line of succession. Only three lives, those of the Queen, the Prince of Wale3 and Prince George now stand between the Duchess of Fife and the throne. In the event of her accession, tho Duke of Fifo would officially occupy a position similar to that held by Princo Albert, Queen Victoria's husbaud, but being, according to all accounts, a man of strong character and much intelligence, he would, practically, be Kiog. His children wonld be first in succession when the direct male line was broken, and that this thought had agitated the minds of the Queen and her son was proved by the talk, at the time of the marriage, of exacting a renunciation of tho Princess's right in tho royal line, a plan that was finally considered inadvisable. Considering the probability that the Prince of Wales and his son Georgo will enjoy many years of life, this concern over remote contingencies seems rather uncalled for, but it is such anxieties that form a great part of the troubles of royalty. Tho Duke of Fife comes of as old and honorable a family as does his wife, and his blood, besides being a degree purer perhaps, has the merit in English estimation of being free from foreign taint. So far as tho outside world is concerned, it can only look on as at a game in which it has but tho interest of a ppectator, and watch tho moves without caring who wins. The world's sympathy will go to tho parents mourning for a son ns humbler parents mourn, and its attention will then be turned to Princo George. This second and only living son of the Prince of Wales is, by all descriptions, a reckless, daredevil sort of youth, but with a certain manliness that makes him rather a favorite with the English people, and that promises the development of a good deal of character. With a farewell to Albert Victor tho Queen's subjects will, in tho same breath, cry all hail to Princo George.

C0EP0EATIONS AND EMPLOYES. If tho president of the street-railroad is wise he will tako advantage of tho present opportunity to readjust the relations between tbo company and its employes, and place them on a more satisfactory basis. The time has passed when any corporation can afford to treat its employes as if they were mere machines. If corporations havo no souls, men have, and in return for faithful service they have a rightto expect something more and bettor than the treatment that is accorded to dumb brutes. As a mero matter of business, it is much wiser for a corporation or any employer to treat employes kindly and even liberally than to treat them as if they had no rights outside tho contract which the employer is bound to respect. Good treatment secures better service, greater interest in tho work, more watchfulness of the interest of employers, and more satisfactory relations every way. It is easy to say that when a man makes a contract ho knows what ho has to expect, and has no right to expect anything more. This is a Shylock view. It is based on the doctrine that a poor man must work or ftarve, and if he does not choose to starve he must work on such terms as the employer chooses to dictate. This is a hard, inhuman doctrine. Ono of tho leading express companies doiug business in this city retires all its employes on half pay when they become incapacitated for active duty by old age, sickness or injuries. Tho same company gavo ull its employes who enlisted during tho war half pay as long as they remained in tho army. Does nny person doubt that that kind of treatment pays in tho better servico which it securest The street-railroad employes are a hard-worked class of men, and their pay is none too liberal. Their hours are long and they nro subject to many exacting rules. If these rules are. necessary to the proper working of tho system, they ought, at least, to be enforced with as much kindness and ns little friction as possible. A man ongdt not to bo continually icmindcd that his employment is a form of slavery, and thst if ho docs not like his work ho can quit it. If he renders faithful service ho should bo treated kindly, whether the contract calls for it or not, and there is no better way of securing faithful service than by such treatment. The matter of free transportation for the employes of tho street-railroad company is an important one to them and a very small one to the compauy. The company has it in its power to oppress and humiliate them in the matter, but it would bo far wiser, juster and more humane to treat them liberally, and it would pay handsomely in dollars and cents. Hanging and simeonl Death was busy yesterday among the world's famous men, and it is safe to say that of the three who answered his call Cardinal Manning will leavo the greatest gap. He has been ono of tho notable Englishmen of the century one who will rank with Disraeli and Gladstone in commanding ability, and whose iniluenco upon British opinion, in another sphere, has been greater than either. Before he loft the Anglican church he had achieved a wide reputation as an eloquent preacher and a zeal ous churchman so much so that it is safo to assume that he might have reached the highest position in the state church if his conscience had not Iedhim to leave tho church of his fathers and his country and become a communicant of the Catholic Church, which at that time had little influence in Great Britain. In that church and in that field fall scope was aflorded for the exercise of his wonderful capacity as an organ

izer, his zeal and brilliancy as an ecclesiastic. More than any man he has made the Catholic Church a power in England. Because so able, so brilliant and 60 highly connected a man as Manning became a Catholic, thousands followed him. In thirty-five years he has become the best-known man in the Catholic Church, second only to tho Pope, and thero is reason to believe that his advice was held in high value at Rome. Cardinal Manning was much more than a churchman. He took a deep interest in public affairs, not to make them of the church, but to improve tho condition of tho masses. Ho espoused the cause of home rule in Ireland, and it had no more powerful champion. His first work as archbishop was with the masses by promoting temperance, benevolent guilds and elementary education. He refused to erect a large cathedral until there was a Catholic free school for every child of his flock, and his life work was conducted in a way calculated to bring practical benefits to those who needed them. In general work for the uplifting of the masses he was not unwilling to join those who were not of his faith. In his literary work he displayed tho power of a master; and even when he discussed economic questions or social topics he spoke with a power that attracted attention. Catholic or Protostant, the human race is the gainer by such men as the dead Cardinal. In his death his church loses the man who had done most for its advancement in this century. Another influential prelate , of the Catholic Church who died yesterday is Cardinal Simeoni. Forty years ago ho held some of the moat important positions in the church, both temporal and ecclesiastic. In 1870 he was appointed Secretary of State to Pope Pius, which position he held until the death of that Pontiff. When Pope Leo became the head of tho church Cardinal Simeoni was appointed prefect-general of the Propaganda. While not so widely known outside the church as many prelates, he was regarded as ono of the ablest men in a body of men selected for their learning and ability.

HOME ADVANCEMENT IN THE POTTEEY INDU8TBY. , Tho first thirty pages of the January number of the Popular Science Monthly are devoted to an article entitled, "Recent Advances in the Pottery Industry," by Edwin A. Barber, weing ono of a series of papers on the development of American industries since Columbus. Among general readers there is an indefinite Idea that during the past few years considerable progress has been mado-in the production of household pottery, so much so that the work of the home industries compares favorably with thofo of other countries. Thoso who havo given more attention to the subject know that no little progress has been mado in the production of ornamental ceramics, bijt most of these will bo surprised to learn, as thoy will from reading the nrticlo in question, that during, the ; last Cozn years, and certainly since the Centennial exhibition, which gave an impetus to home production, raoro than a score of potteries scattered over tho country are producing, in their several lines, the finest wares to be found in the world. That thero may be no mistake about it, the words of Mr. Barber are quoted, as follows: In onr reproductions of the thin Belleck ware of Ireland, the Limoges faienco of the Havilanrid and other specialties of continental factories, wh not only equal tbem, but of ten excel them in delicacy of form and beauty of glaze and decoration. Our relief tilea surpass in artistic merit anything produced abroad of a similar character, haring won the first premium over ISritlsh wares long beforo wo brought them to their present state nt perfection. Onr architectural terra eottas hare, within the past few years, left England behind, and rould the uhsnrd prejudice against homo art and native work be overcome, America would soon lead the world in ceramic fabrics of every character. Among tho illustrations in terra cotta are samples of tho work of the -Indianapolis Terra Cotta Company, which, in spite of its brief existence, has attained a high rank for its work. But the most important achievement of tho development of the pottery industry in tho United States is tho cheapening of household table-ware more than 50 per cent., and at the same time producing a wealth of designs which, because of the employment of tho printing process in decoration, beautify tho homes of thousands who could not otherwise purchase works of artistic merit. It can bo added that this great industry began with the protective policy of 1661, and has grown until it is a miracle under its increased duties. It is very gratifying to find this testimony of the wisdom of the Republican policy in scientific periodicals inclined to free trade. THE TREE-WOOL BILL. Now that the bill of Chairman Springer to put wool on the free list is before the committee on ways and means, the tnsk of the free-trade organ will depend upon its location. In the East, where woolen-mills aro numerous and tho wool-growers are comparatively few, the free-trade organ will dilate upon the great advantage to be derived from free and cheap wool by consumers and manufacturers. Perchance the organ will allude to the fabled "markets of the world," which, just now. Great Britain cannot fiud. In the West, the organ will tell tho wool-growers that tho duty on wool is no protection to him, because the prices of some grades of wool havo declined since the readjustment of duties by the McKinley law. It will tell tht wool-grower that tho duties on woolen goods make his clothing much higher, while the duty on foreign wools does not increase the price he receives for his clip. In short, the organ will tell him a great deal of stuff upon the assumption that he is fool enough to accept all that it offers as in the nature of inspired troth. The wool-growing industry of this country is a most important one. In some localities it is a main dependence of those engaged in agriculture, while to thousands of farmers in the Northern and Central States the email flocks of sheep are items upon which those engaged in general agriculture depend for their Incomes. The industry of agri

culture for several years preceding 1S91 was depressed, because the production of a few crops, like wheat, corn and oats, and such animals as cattle and hogs, was in excess of such a demand as would insure remunerative prices. Tho cotton-growers are now trying to organizo to reduce the acreage, to the end that a smaller crop and remunerative prices may be secured. The efforts of all intelligent agriculturists, agricultural organizations and official agricultural departments are directed to tho introduction of crops which are not now grown, to the end that a few crops may not be produced in excess of such a demand as will insure paying prices. In view of these facts, the attempt to put wool on tho free list, and to put tho American wool-grower on equal footing with the producers in Australia, Cape of Good Hope and South America, where lands aro of little value, and those employed in the industry are paid sums which would not be regarded as wages in this country, is designed to eliminate a very important branch of agriculture without conferring any corresponding advantage upon anybody except the foreign wool-grower and manufacturer. That the duty on wool does give American wool-growers an advantage is beyond honest question. If they were able to furnish the United States with all the wool required the duty would have little effect on the price, but when our manufacturers must import at least a quarter of all the wool consumed, the price hero must, as a rule, bo the foreign price, with the duty added. If a certain grade is worth 20 cents a pound on the ship at New York before the duty is paid, it will cost tho consumer the duty in excess of that price, so long as we depend upon foreign producers for a considerable portion of the wool consumed. Therefore it stands to reason that the same grade of wool raised by the American farmer will bring him tho foreign price with nearly the duty added. Within eighteen months the prices of Australian wools havo fallen 25 per cent. This is due to the fact that during the past ten years the world's supply of wool has been largely increased. With such a fall there must bo a decline in this country; but it is a notable fact that No. 1 Ohio was higher by 2 cents this season than last, and that the decline in the price of domestic wools was not as decided as upon similar grades of foreign wools. The troth is that tho money which the American producer receives for his wool is doublo tho price that the Australian gets for his, and that if he had to accept the foreign price nt the present time, our wool industry, now the third or fourth in the world, would decline, year by year, in tho faco of an unequal competition with those countries in which wools are raised cheaply becauso companies and syndicates control large sections of country and a few half-clad natives can care for thousands of sheep.

WOBSHIPERS OF INIQUITY

New York's Filcher of Legislatures Al most Causes a Riot in tho House. Democrats Suspend Bn&iness to Bow Before the Great Hill Senator Qaar Reported to Be Preparing to Vent His Spite. DEMOCRACY'S LATEST COD. Tumult In thelloute Caused bjthe Eagerness of 31einbera to Fall Down end Worship UUL 6icci.il to the l&diac&pchs Journal. Washington, Jon. 11 Senator David H. Hill, pf New York, to-day again emphasized the fact that he is the Democratic lion of the hour. Ills appearance on the floor of the House during; tho exciting debate on the Holman resolution against appropriations, caused a suspension of proceedings, so great was the clamor on the Democratic side to shake the hand that guides the destiny of the minority party. As soon as Senator Hill's face was discovered at the main entrance to the House, members on the Democratic side jumped to their feet and began to move toward the space immediately in front of the cloakroom upon their side, Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, was attempting to show how 6hainefully extravagant were the Republicans in the last Congress. Dockery has an immense voice, and he had pitched it np into stentorian tones, but he was unable to be heard a distance of ten feet sixty seconds after Senator Hill appeared upon the scene. Mr. Dockery was much confused, but he strove to maintain his equipoise. Finally the crowd about Senator Hill was so great and the din so noisy that the member from Missouri suspended his speech and appealed to the Chair to preserve order. Speaker pro tem. McMillin pounded vigorously and appealed to the liouto to restore order. Senator Hill dodged into the cloak-room, but the crowd attempted to follow him and over flowing that retreat, appeared to make more noise than ever. It became necessary for the deputy sergeant-at-arms to circulate among the crowds about the Democratie hero and appeal to members personally before sufficient quiet could be had to warrant a resumption of the debate. It Senator Hill can command the Democrats of the. country in the nominating convention as he did on the floor of the House this afternoon, there will be no question as to who the presidential nominee will be or who will control the next nomination. QUAY DISGRUNTLED. Threaten a to FIzht the Administration Because Tie Can't Get the Earth. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, Jan. 14. It was announced to-day that Senator Quay had finally determined to openly oppose the present administration, and that he would do so by offering a resolution charging that federal officers had recently "interfered with the politica of Pennsylvania," and directing that the Senate committee on reform in the civil service should make an investigation "for the purpose of ascertaining to what extent federal oflicers have interfered with the primaries and conventions." It is stated that Senator Quay relies upon the supposed administration hostility of Mr. Welcott, of Colorado, who is chairman of the Senate civil-service committee, to secure a favorable report npon the resolution, hut it is not believed that he hopes to secure any tangible results by an investigation should it be ordered. Senator Quay is simply angry with the present administration because President Harrison has not taken up his fights in Pennsylvania and made, them his own party quarrels and personal strifes. For many months after the inauguration of l&sy, President Harrison recognized the re-' quests of Senator Quay for politioal appointments, and in every way possible tried to show his appreciation of the Senator's party services. Finally the tatter's course in and out of Congress drew him into many embarrassing personal and political complications, which resulted in a division of the Kepublican party in the State, and a bitter personal strife. Naturally, the President did not feel that the personal a Hairs of Senator Quay or any other parson should be the guiding star of lederal allairs within any State, and while he has practically bronght about a standstill in Pennsylvania's federal allotments, it cannot be truthfully said, as is charged by Senator Quay, that the President has in any way used the federal patronage or his f rerogatives to destroy the Senator's polltcal influence. ASSAILING THE TARIFF. Several Free-Trade Dills to De at Once Introduced In the House. Washington, Jan. 14. At an informal conference of Democratic members of the ways and means committee to-day it was agreed that the several bills which had been drawn up by various members of the committee and generally discussed and approved by the Democratic majority should be introduced by their authors at once in the House ana referred to the committee. As a result of this agreement and the conference with his Democratic colleagues of the committee, Mr. Bryan, of Nebraska, will to-morrow ask consent to introduce in the House the following. On and after the 1st day of October, 1832. the following articles, mentioned iu tills section, when imported, shall Im exempt from datr: Tlinoer, hevn and satvel, and timber used tor spars and in building wharves: timber, square or 6ided; wood, unmanufactured, not specially enumerated or provided for, sawed boards, plauks, deals, and all other articles of sawed lumber; hubs for wheels, posts, last-blocks, wagon-blocks, oar-Mucks, gun-blocks, beadingblocks and all like block or sticks, rough, hewn or sawed only; staves of wood, pickets and tilings, laths, shingles, clap-boards, pine or tpruco Iocs. Provided, that It auy export duty is laid upon the above-mentioned artifles. or either of them, by any country whence imported, all articles embraced iu this act, imported from said country, aLall bo subject to duty as now provided by law. Mr. Bryan will also introduce three other bills, makins the following provisions, respectively: That binding-twino for binding grain, made in whole or in pnrt from lute. hemp. sunt, manllla. sisal, or any other textile grasses or nnrous vrgetuMe substances, when Imported from other countries shall be exempt from ad custuma duties. That, after the end of tbe present fiscal year, barbed-wire of all kinds and iron rods for fencing shall be admitted free of duty at all ports of tho United btates. That after Oct 1. 1 692, all salt, fine and coarse, in bulk or in baps, sacks, barrels or other packages, shall be admitted free Of duty at all ports of the United States. "The bill placing lumber on the free list," said Mr. Uryan. "covers tbe same articles placed on tbe free list by the Mills bill. Tbe bill placing bindiug-twine upon tbe free list is lutroduced on behalf of tbe farmers. We have given free raw man-rial to many of our manufacturers, and desire to extend the same advantage to others. Throughout the West, especially iu the btatea where lumber is scarce, barbed-wire for fencing is almost universally used, and we believe it only just that an article so much needed shall be relieved from tax. The taritt on salt, which ia removed by the other bill, is a burden to some extent, and a salt tax has always been odious. While these bills hare not ben formally considered by the committee there has been so general an expression in favor of these measures by tbe Democratic members generally, that I have no doubt of their passage through the House, and thick it probable that they will also pass tbe Senate. A number of other features of the prosent law will doubtless ba attacked. Cotton ties and cotton bagging will receive attention, ns will coal, iron ore, kerosone and a number of othrr things. There is little doubt. I think, that Mr. Springer's bill putting wool on the free list and the taking oa" the specific duties Irum woolen manufactures, will receive favorable consideration. Tho plan f separate attack seams to be favored over that of a general bill for the reason that there is a possibility that a number of redactions shall be made in the present law. Wo could simply make a record, and

genuine relief bronght will be more appreciated by the people than a mere futile attempt at relief for tbe purpose of showing our good wilL" minor matters. Report that Judge linker, r Goshen, Is te lie Made Solicitor-General. New York. Jan. 14. A Washington dispatch to tbo Post says: "Another Indiana man is booked for a high ofSce. The President has decided to appoint John II. Paker, of Gosben, to succeed Wm. H. Taft, as Solicitor-general. This, of course, is conditional upon tho Senate's confirming the list of circuit judges nominated a fortnight ngo. Mr. Piker's name haf been held back, however, till it conld be ascertained whether the nomination of Judge Woods should so through. Should Senators Voorbees and Turpie succeed in defeating confirmation. It is probable Mr. Pakerwil! be named in Judge Woods's stead, and aomebody elso chosen for Solicitor-general.

Never in the history of the Union League Club has an election of officers caused such partisan feeliug as that which exhibited itself to-night. A formidable element, headed by Cornelius N. Bliss, opposed the re-election of Chaun cey M. Depew as the club's president. Mr. Bliss had said repeatedly that he did not want offise, and threatened to vote for Depew. This announcement' did not daunt the opposition party, and when tho polls opened at C:S0 this evening a large force of workers waa on hand in the interest of tbe Bliss ticket. The regular ticket bad an army of supportors and between the two the members were thoroughly button-holed. The entrance of Mr. Depew into the club-house was the signalforanoutbnrst of cheers which were echoed again and again. Then the Bliss party took np tbe cheering and made tbe walls resound with their entbusiastio demonstration. Mr. Bliss was nnable to attend the election owing to sickness, it was said. A steady stream of members passed in tho doors until 8 o'clock, the hour for calling tbo meeting. When the polls were closed at 9:30 it was estimated that nearly if not more than seven hundred members had votec. and many had as vet been nnable to vote. Therefore, it was decided to keep tbe polls open an hour longer. It was then thought that Mr. Depew would pull through withont much difiicnlty. At 10 o'clock a long line or member was still waiting to vote. Bets of two to one were ollered that Depew would he reelected. Seven hundred and twenty-one men had voted. At 11 o'clock the polls were closed and the counting begun. When the result was announced and Mr. Depew declared elected the club-bouse rang with cheers. Appended is tbe vote: Nnmberof votes cast, 722; C. M. Depew. 4ir: C. M. Bliss, l"J2; J. H. Choate, 1; blank ballots. 4. ALL ABOARD FOB UN-PL ATE.
