Building Up Home Manufacture and Palllag Dowa Those of Foreigners. Ertfi&l to tlie Indlanspoli Journal. Washington. April 3. "There will he eome surprises for 'tariff reformers during the coming campaign." said a Treasury official to-day, "and they will appear in the form of statistics gathered on the other Bide of the Atlantic, showing the decrease of British manufacturing interests einco the tariff law went into effect a year ago, compared to what they wero eight years ago, just after tho old tariff law was put upon tbe statutes." "Have the tanft statistics been gathered for campaign purposes!" yoar correspondent abked. "So," replied the official, "they have not. There is always a great demand for information on the subject of foreign manufacturing interests dnring a presidential campaign, and the United States c onsuls abroad, knowing this, have bent their energies to make reports upon the trade conditions in Lurope, with espocial respect to manufactures, and aremaking comparisons in their reports. Tho results of this work, as they are coming in, are mot gratifying." "Are manufacturing interests in England prosperous nowt" "On the contrary, they are very unprosperous. Many of the leading industries in England, and especially Ireland and Scotland, have either come over hero bodily since the McKinley law went into ellect, or Have established branch factories, and intend to move over in entirety as soon as they tind the law is permanent Linen industries are sure to get out of Ireland and Scotland, wherever they have large trades in this country. The closing of factories in England proper and her provinces is a very embarrassing and perplexing matter to the British government just at this tinio. That is the secret behind the bluster of . Lord Salisbury in this Behring sea controversy. The workingmen on the streets out of employment demand somo retaliation upon the country which they blame for Laving induced their lactones away or closed up many of them. Salisbury has made an effort to appease that demand for retaliation and stopped upon a tack. I xnako the prediction that the consular reports, which are being prepared now, will show that manufacturing interests in J England have fallen off 20 per cent, in the ast lifteen months, while ours will show an increaso of 25 per cent, at least Wo have secured some large German industries, and Germany is having a little trouble with her mechanics and laborers." "Will not the Republican consols be now charged with partisanship, as wore those under Cleveland, four years ago, who wrote bo many free-wool reports!" "iSot at all. The conditions have changed. In the first place, our present consuls are not making arguments, one way or the other, as did the Democratic officials. They are making simple figures. In the second nlace, there is a popular demand from all parties for figures as to how the new tariff law is affecting foreign manufacturers. The Republicans will not be hurt by the comparisons." Jastlce ILamar'a Condition Serious. Washington, April 3. The condition of Justice Lamar, of the Supreme Court, is much more serious than the publio generally is aware of. He has suffered with hemorrhages from the lungs for several days, and in addition is said to have eymptoms of Bright's disease. His family is greatly worried at his condition. The recurrence of the hemorrhages precludes sleep, and this greatly aggravates his trouble. Notwithstanding the gravity of his case. Justice Lamar is still strong enough to write, and when a reporter called at his house to ascertain exactly how he was the Justice (tent down the following bulletin in his own handwriting: "About the same, with eome improvement. Hemorrhages less in number, and not so profuse. Complains of pains in tho left ide," 'Italy and the World's Fair. Washington, April 3. Mr. C. F. Caracristi, secretary of the Italo-Ainerican board of promotion of tho World's Columbian Exposition, was shown a cablegram received here yesterday, announcing that Italy would take part in the world's fair if indemnity is paid for the Italians killed at Isew Orleans n year ago. "1 nave tried every available means to keep tho world's fair matter separate from the lamentable New Orleans incident," Mr. Caracristi said, "and have found tho Italian government ready to uphold this reparation: therefore. 1 cannot believe that the dispatch is a true expression of tho fcolinz at Koine." Vbat the Enemy Is Doing. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, April 3. The National Association of Democratic Clubs, through its exeeutive committee, is sending out to all local clubs circular letters urging tho organization of primary societies throughout the Union by which to wage the political battle of the year.

Washington, April 3. Chairman Springer, of the ways and means committee, has so far regained his health that ho was today able to attend church, and afterwards to take a short drive in the sunshine throughout the city. Mr. Springer will appear in the House to-morrow for an honr or less, and. as chairman of the ways and means committee, make the closing argument in favor of the free-wool bill. His speech will be brief and will bo strictly confined to answering what he considers the legitimate arguments that have been made against the bilL Bamor that Minister Smith Will Resign. New York, April 3. A Washington special says it is reported that Mr. Charles Emory Smith, United States minister to Russia, will return home during tho present month, and that he will resign soon thereafter.

An Eccentric Farmer, Who Claimed His Liver Was Cracked by a Horse's Kick. Taked Red and Green Silk Thread Into Cakes and Ate Them to Care II is AVound L'cTelopmcDts in a Will Contest. INDIANA. Singular Testimony in a Will Contest Insolving life ICstnte. Special to the Iudtanar-olis Journal. CoLUAinus, April 3. One of the most important lawsuits that has been tried in this county for years is now in progress and will probably occupy the attention of the court during the coming week. In 1S52, Jacob Cook, of this county, and Hannah Daugherty wero married. By this marriage five children were born. By 1872 he had amassed a fortnno of at least 75,000, and then died. Some years before his death his oldest daughter learned to love a man in the employ of her father and asked his consent to marry him. This the father refused. In tbe spring of 1SC9 the daughter, with her lover, came to this city and was. married. On learning this Cook at once drove her from his home and never spoke to her after. During her early life the was his favorite child, and he could not do too much for her. Shortly bofore ner marriage he was kicked by a horse. To the married daughter two daughters wero born. The mother and father then died. In Cook's will these two daughters received but $5 each, in full of their mother's interest in his estate. It is these two daughters who are the plaintifis in the suit now on trial. Cook, during his last days, as shown by the evidence of his neignbors, claimed that the horse that kicked him "cracked" his liver, and to heal this wound he would at times buy red silk thread ana have it baked into a cako and eat it. This, he said, greatly relieved him. At one time he thought that it would be better to change tbe color to green and did so. The testimony showed that the green came near killing him. He was at one tlmo told that if he would go to the lino between Bartholomew and Brown counties and get a certain kind of clay, bake it until it was hard and then wear it on his side it would heal his "cracked" liver. This he did. but so far as the evidence goes be never recovered or healed his liver. Petrified It am of Porker. Special to the Indiarapolls Journal Salem, April 3. A perfectly petrified ham of a large hog was recently found in a field on the poor-farra in this county, and is now there in possession of George W. Roseberry. The spooimen is almost perfect, even showing the saw marks on the rock. The line of division between the flesh and skin is also very plain. Tno flesh side is beautifully ornamented with shell-fish and other water animals. It is a line piece of nature's handiwork, and has attracted a great deal of comment and speculation from persons interested in such things. Were Secretly Wedded. Srcclal to the IcrtUnapoJls Journal.

Scribner for April opens with the first of an important series of articles on the conaititions of life among the poor of great cities. The writers who will prepare these papers have been chosen becauso of their experience with and study of tbe conditions described. London, New York, Paris, Boston and Chicago are among tho cities to be represented, and the list ot authors includes Waltor Besaut, Joseph Kerkland, Jacob A. Rlis, author of "How tbe Other Half Lives." Madame Mario and others. In this issue Robert A. Woods, who is now head of the Andover House in Boston, writes of "The Social Awakening in London.77 of which ho mado a thorough study during a residence abroad. He tells what has been accomplished by the People's Palace, Toy n bee Hall. Oxford House, the Salvation Army, the Charity Organization Society aud other associations which have undertaken to solve tbe problem of bettering tbe stato of "outcast London." Tho contribution is very interesting in itself, and forma a proper introduction to others, since the philanthropic movements of this character originated in London. A second series of papers is entitled "llistorio Moments," the purpose being to glvo brief accounts by cre-witnesses and participants of important events in politics and history. The iirat is entitled "The Impeachment Trial," and is by ex-Senator Edmund G. Ross, of Kansas, who wa one of seven Republican Senators who voted "net guilty" in the case of President Andrew Johnson. K. S. Nadal writes of the new parks of the city of New Yok, of which, it seems, there are several largo aud important ones, moro or less improved, and some distance out from the city. "Golden Mashonaland" is the title of a paper by Frank Mandv on tbe South African gold holds. William Apthorp lias a third paper on Paris theaters and concerts. George Somes Layard contributes an interesting account of the work and personality of Charles Keen of Punch. Robert Grant is at his best in his soniowhat cynical and rather humorous "Reflections of a Married Man." Stevenson's serial. "The Wrecker." and a short story by Beatrice White make up the Action of tho number. One of the most pleasing of the ShakspeareanstudiesbyLangaudAbbey tbathas yet appeared in Harper is that on "Tho Tempest," in tho April Issue. Abbey in particular is at hia best in representing the fantastic personages of this comedy. "Brother to the Sea" is the apt title given by Julian Ralph to his description of Lake Superior and its natural and commercial featnres. In a paper on "Western Modes of City Management" the same writer presents some interesting results of his tdudies into the municipal methods jvj, Minneapolis. St. Paul and Chicago. In'lhe "Mystery of Colnmbus" Eugone Lawrence takes a now view of the great explorer and goes anew into the undetermined questions of why he sailed, where he landed, and why he fell into poverty atd disgrace at the close of his career. "Tho Ancient Lake Rgiou of America" is the title of a geological paper by James Richardson, in which are described the geological regions that once lay under water, An unnamed writer, but ono evidently familiar with his subject, contributes a uapcr on English public schools. l D. Millet's third chapter of experience on hia journey "From the Black Forest to the Black Sea" is equal in picturesque interest to those preceding. Other contributions are "An Indian Fair in th Mexican Hot Country," and "Tno Last Days of Percy Byshe Shelley." William McLennan has another of his French-Canadian dialect stories, and Richard Harding Davis a story of New York society liie that is hardly no to his usual standard. Tho second chapter of Howells'g serial, "The World of Chance," makes up tho fiction of tho number. Thomas Bailor Aidrich, Louise Imogen Guiuey and Madison Cawein contribute poems. Charles Dudley Warner succeeds Mr. Howells as occupant of the "Editor's Study." and makes a characteristic introductory address. Tbe editorial hand of W. D. Howells will not be visible in the make-up of the Cosmopolitan Magazine before the May issue, and tho appearance in the April number of a sketch of Tolstoi and his life, and a Russian story by Podgoraki, can hardly bo regarded as indicative pf his taste. At least it may be hoped that, notwithstanding his fondness for Russian literature, he will rofraiu from accepting any further tales as hideous in character as "Princess Ratzanoff." The magazine opens with a well-illustrated article on "Gonoa, the Home of Columbus," by Murat Halstead. "Tho Hemes of the Renaissance" is a stndy by Wallace Wood of tho architectural period that produced the palaces of Rome, Florence and Venice. "The Crew of a Transatlantic Liner' is the title of an interesting descriptive article by William H. Rideinsr. "A Romance of Old Shoes" is an illustrated historical account of tho varieties of foot-gear worn by civilized people. "Torpedoes in Coast Defense." "The Theater of To-day." "Marriage of American Women to German Noblemon," andastory, "Tho Rancho of Heavenly Rest." are other contributions to the number. Tho high literary character of St. Nicholas is well indicatod by a glance at the list of eontribntors to the April number. Among them are Julian Ralph. Lieut. IC. n. Fletcher, Charles F. Lummis, Brander Matthews, Mary llallock Footo und Charles E. Cnrry. Mr. Lummis is doing a good work iu making young people acquainted with the "Strange Corners of Out Conntry." Too many American readers of all ages have the idea that the linest natural scenery is to be found in foreign lands, whereas the reverse is true, the configuration of this continent presenting some of the most wonderful phenomena of the world. In a chanter called "Seen Years Without a Hirthday," Rev. George McArthur explains, with much clearness, the cbnngefrom the Julian to the Gregorian calendar and tho reasons why somo century years are not leap yoars. The April Magazine of Art (CaNsell & Co.) has for its frontispiece an etching of a cattle piece painted by Troyno, entitled The Watering Place." Charmingly illustrated articles on "The Old Masters at tho Royal Academy," "Art Treasures of the Comedio Francaise." and "Tho Royal Academy Strident1 ConiDetiHon." and the editor's note book. A coutribntion of practical value relates to tho choico of wall-papers for artistic homes. ' The "Queen's Riviera Residence," "Athletic Sports at Oxford and Cambridge," "The Royal Mews," and '"The Late Mr. Spnrgi'on" aro tho subjects of illustrated articles in tho Knglish Illustrated Magazine. A dismal story of lifo in the Australian bush, by AJary Gaunt, and the final chapter of a atory by Henry James compose the Action of the number. Macmillan & Co. CasselTfl Family Magazine contains a variety of excellent fiction and miscellaneous papers on dress, flower-growing and other domestic matters that go to make it what it name purports a periodical for the general household.

Anarchist IXTchol liracs Before a Pa-It Magistrate lilt Kind Do Not Work. Paris. April 3. When Anarchist Ravacbol was brought before the magistrate he said: 'T am proud of what I have done. Yon will not get a single word of repentance out of me. If I had not been arrested I would have continued my explosions, sparing nobody concerned with the condemnation of other Anarchists. I would like to have blown ud the Chamber of Deputies for imposing on dynamiters the penalty of doath. Let nothing stand in the way of tho Anarchist propaganda. I murdered the two sisters Mariou and others simply to procure money to assist the cause. I could never stoop to beciring. No Anarchist begs. I won't work. Labor is an injpstico as long as it enriches an employer who gives his workers just enough to keep body aud soul together. Every one having nothing ought to rob and murder.

The Lobau barracks explosion was ejected with dynamito packed in a metal mold used in baking cakes. Carnot as u Iiehrlng Sea Arbiter. Pahis. April 3. In an interview to-day on tho Rebring sea question, M. Jules Ferry said: "If President Carnot is asked to perform a part iu tbe treaty he will doubtless accept the task. Put it is a complicated question and considerable timo will be rcaulred to solve it." Deputy Flourens sf.!2: "This is tho first time President Carnot has been called upon to tako part in an arbitration. It is ditucult to prophesy how long it will bo before a verdict is rendered. 11 au tne evmenco is immediately forthcoming it ought not to require moro than six months to reach a decision. Tbe exSenses of the court of arbitration should e borne by the nation in whose territory the arbitration occurs. France will bear the expense as a matter of international courtesy. If necessary to send amission to the sceno of dispute tho expense of that should fall upon the parties in litigation." The Missouri Arrives at Llbau. Liuau, Aprils. Tho steamer Missouri, from New York, with food for the famine sufferers, was enthusiastically welcomed on her arrival here. The steamer Concordia, having aboard Consul-general Crawford, Count Pobrinski, Mr. Edgar, Coneul ISomboId and a uumberof the civil and militarja uthorities, went out to meet the Missouri. A band aboard tho Concordia played tbe American and Knssian national anthonis. The discharge of the Missouri's cargo has already commenced. Swindlers Convicted. Berlin, April 3. Franz Lief tnchter and Jobann Paolus have been sentenced, respectively, to four years' and two years' imprisonment at Troves for swindling. This is tho result of the efforts of tho authorities to break up a gang of sharpers, who have for a long time thrived by cheating German emigrants waiting at the various ports on the eve of embarking for America. Their victims were numerous, and many emigrants arrived in New York penniless in consequence of having encountered the crooks before leaving port. 'Jack the Kipper" at llirMn. Berlin, April 3. This city was atritated to-day by the announcement of a supposed Jack the Ripper" murder.

To tho Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: We are now hearing a err of increased taxation. In a letter from a friend in your city, of limited means, he says: "The taxes are not only surprising hut alarming. My tax last year was $45.80; this year it is That is the way he is paying on his little home, lie truly says "alarming." To a very great extent this can be remedied. Let every voter think for himself aud not bo led by politicians to swallow so much absurdity. The olhco-seekcrs in this country, as a class, and with some exceptions, are a curse. They, true to nature, aro lirst for themselves, then for the dear people, if at all. Don't allow them such salaries as will enable them to buy their oflicc. Don't believo them when they seek to blamo an administration for low prices of farm products or crop failures. Think for yourselves, and you will soon see that the simple running of an office has nothing to do with it. On the other baud, in prosperous times the political "onts" will attribute the good times to anything but tho party in power. Supply and demand is the great factor. It is true wise legislation is better than nnwise. but no one party monopolizes that feature: so dou't vote blindly lor your "party." but think for yourselves. Cause a law to be enacted which tthall take ellect one year or eighteen months after its passage, to tho ellect that all banks shall, upon tbe demand of tho proper olbccr, divulge the account of any person on the 1st day of April; increaso the severity of the penalties on sequestered property: change the Constitution in conformity, if necessary; advertise tho existence of the law so that all may be cognizant of it before the time of its taking effect Eet tins apply also to corporations as well as banks. When people see tho publio money wantonly squandered, and the unjust taxation consequent, and know that vast amounts of property escapo taxation, is it to bo wondered at that they have the feeling that they should pay no more than wise, ecouoinio administration and equitable taxation demand, and are tempted to escape tho Injustice? It is notorious that vast sums or publio money have been abstracted becauso of tho fact that the beneficiary was a voter. Herein is one featnre contributing to the odiousness of the average oilice-seeker." When once in power, by isuch distribution of tbe publio money, he bopos for continued political preferment. As to mortgages, enact a law relieving tho owner of the property from taxation to the extent of tbe mortgage, thereby avoiding tbe injustice of doublo taxation .As to money, let its face represent its true value and avoid inflation. As an illustration of injndieious legislation 1 will cite a fact that is now, heroin Shelby villa, dieting comment The street commissioner heretofore was employed at a salary of 2 pr day for actual service; last spring tho Council voted to allow him SCCO per year. He now is said to be engaged in outside work as a contractor, having been tendered the contract for the excavation for tho new school building. I think no one would impute to any member of onr Council Mich folly were it a personal and private Miterest Suppose any oue of thoKe city fathers owned all the htreets in febellbyvilio and they desired their improvement, would they, without investigation, havo let tho job for $000 when there aro plenty of good and competent men who would be glad of the job at $400? But thus it goes. Again, you should think and know the detriment of the saloon. Just noto tho expense to the tax-payer at your court-house. Contemplate the possibilities of the victims of tbe saloon as to their becoming tax-payers, tkereby relieving your own. Any man who will, without prejudice, thoroughly investigate this matter will bo astouished at the burden the saloon is to taxpayers. I can only hint at it nere. I don't suggest any remedy think that out for yourselves neither do I refer to the moral side. In the proper place I failed to say. change tho time of paying in spring tax from the third Monday in April to the last day of March.

Tbo 'Wicked 3lcKInley IIllL Plii:adeljlila Inquirer. I is not without much genuine pain that wo direct tne attention of the very learned free-trade school to the tathetlo fact that, under the operations of tbe immoral MoKinley law, the bobbin trust has failed. Ihis concern, or thoso which composed it, existed under rarious tariffs, but it was not uutil tho "infamous McKiulcy robbery" had been in operation for oyer a year that it roso to that dazzling height of prosperity wheru there was nothing to do but fail. The facts in the case are already familiar to nowspapcr reador. but we venture to hope that they will not bo passed by lightly. Senator Mills should take them as a text for his maiden oreeoh in the Senate, and Mr. McMillin might air them in the House. They arc imto too pregnant with meaning, for free-traders, to bo spurned with tho uanal free-trade sneer. mm ISr'ar llyium'e Blunder.
