West Fool and Tile, Used by the Journal ia Speaking of the Catholic Church. A Dizracful List of Oaetation From the Leading Repabllcau Organ of Indiana. la last Friday's issue of thi3 paper we published a series of extracts from the Indian apolis Journal published ia 1875, in which the foulest epithets and lowest Billingsgate was med in speaking of Irishmen. Sach expressions aa "Irish Cattle." "Irish Bjyines,' 'Celtic Steers," "Fiannel-ifouthed Irish," aid ' Blear-Eyed Irish," were naed without Stint. Sach venom toward a lawa&idinjr class of citizens is seldom seen. We challenged the Journal to deny the correctness of the article. It baa not seen fit to do so, bat ha wisely held its peace, being the nioath piece of the Teat Republican party of Indiana, and at this time industriously enraged in try in to oyer to jiaine ana tae iLenupucan nartr prr men it an heirtleRlv revilail hut a years ago it was unable to answer. Bat venomous and slanderous tongue of the mftl araa nat a1rn rAntni with aKnaa r f r Irish fellaw-citizena. bat the treat tlathChurch, of which most Iriihaieri are lembers, came in for its fall share of abase. We i print tau morniaz several choice ex tracts, giving the dates of their publication. Any one desiring to test their correctness can do so by calling at this office and examininsr the Journal file which we have on hand. Again we dare the Journal to dispute their correctness. On April 23, '75, the Journal said: "The American people have ssldombeen treatel t a grander piece of flummery than that which ccurred ia New York yesterday. The occasion was the inauguration of Cerdiual McUoskey, or. as it is more loftily phrased, the conferring of the erretta.

May 7, 1873, the Journal says: TbeBuaalo Commercial-Advertiser takes snhtantiai'y me arue rround assumed by the Journal when it says: "our very strongest oujoclt a to the It0'Jiih Ccurcii is that, not content with religion, it has become a po-verinl politic! aent. It a:mn to rule this country through the l'eui'iraiie party." Aeain, May 7, the Journal says: In Ohio the evidences of political alliances between tue Catholic Church and the litnocratic party are quae c inclusive. Amoa others may be meutiouea the receut passage, by a strict p-trty vote ia tho Legislature of that täte, of a me.isuie knotru aa the Gegbaa law. whici does away with paid Chaplains in the State tabulations and Rives the occupants thereof the right to say what sort of religion instruction they ill have, or whether they will have ariy at all. This bill was voted for. we believe, by evyy Democrat in both branches of the Legislatures and opposed by the Republicans ou general principles and for particular reasons. The bill was confessedly irawn in the interest of the Roman Catholic Church, and its passage by the Democracy is recognized as a service to ba remembered and rewarded. The Catholic Teierraph, published in Cincinnati, and edited by a brotuerot Archbishop Puneil, mvs: "The uubroüen solid vote of the Catholic citizens of this State will be given to tae Democracy at the fall clectiou." It is this persistant purpose of the Ronih Church io form political alliances and to mdriie with politics and the public institutions of thia country which thoughtful Americans object u. May 8, '73, th-3 Journal, under the heal of "Sunday Reading," says: Against the Roman Catholic Church we have nothing to say: but it present excitement and ven violent activity in America is producing a proper fear among the people. If a pot boils actively it always os-is a sc im upon the surface unless tae contents be very pure. Tne papal pot is aotpure. Therefore the people are ber!nlu offended as they see what ort of scant is ris'.nt; to the surface of our civil politic;, As Ion? as the coarser elements of a cap are drez in depoiif, they do little damage: but when tue case ia reversed and by agitation they become foulness a.loat, there L reason to fear. Again, on same date, the Journal says: Mixed with much that ia very superior in one lern en t of foreign population in tne country, there ia an iintaeie per rentage of dre.4s and scum derived from other cat localities. The downtrodden, over-taxed and di.c mraged crowds which ship at every European port for Cn lie UanJen, gather within their nuraLer man that are but the skimmed curses of the com rati nliies tbey came from.

DOXET, THE lU'CKF.T-SHOP BOS, Jtepadiated by av Prominent Government Official. Axz?.50x, Ind., Aug 5. The signs of the times indicate a strong, healthy and grow Ihr independent political movement. This movement is not confined to the Eastern States, bat is in active operation in this county. Since the Republicans nominated Doxey fcr Congress, a number of tne hone and intelligent Republicans of this county repudiate him. and openly announce their dir&ust for the man. Amon these is that stalwart Republican, Stephen Metcalf, the yoat-maMer of thia city. Mr. Metcalf is a stockholder and the editor of the Herald, the Republican or?an of this county. Since Doxev's nomination he has resigned the editorship of the Herald, because be can not support Poxey. Tbe followtn? notice ap peaxed at the head ot the Herald's editorial columns in its first issae after Doxey was nominated: A Card. My connection with the Herald ceases with tali date, so far aa thai position of editor and conse quent responsibility for its editoriil utterances are concerned. Stephes MrrCaLF, Mr. Metcalf is a war-horse in his party. Be is in the front rank of every party-fight. He has always sturdily opposed the Demosracy. He is an efficient Postmaster, an able editor, and, above all, has tbe courage of bis convictions. He knows Doxey. He knows him ta be

utterly incompetent. He knows Doxey represents ail that is venal, vicious and bad in politics. He knows that Doxey's ignorance of public questions is a burning and blistering shame and insult to the votoraof tbe Ninth Congressional District. For these reasons this Govern men t official of high standing in the Republican party refuses to eupport the backet-shop bo is. Many other good Republicans entertain similar views, and will not support Doxey. Also, Doxey bates and despises Democrats. In this city, pendiDg the election of a school trustee, loxey made use of the following language about Democrats: I would suffer the loss ot my k d d d right arm before I would vote for a Democrat. r would cot allow any 0 d d d Democrat to talk to me about tbe election of a trustee. The aboye is his precise and exact remarks.

This is the manner he vi'lihes Democrats. This is the man, who, without a single qualification, asks the voters to send him to Con gress, but tbe Democracy, with the assistance of the honorable Republicans, will relegate mm to obscurity, and will elect a man in whose ability and integrity the people have confidence and that man ia Hon. Thomas U. Ward. M.tDisox. AXOTIIEK, Hon. William Blinks, of Hiehiean City. Ierides for Cleveland. In a letter to the Michigan City Dispatch. Hon. William Blinks, a well-known Republican, tells why he opposes the election of Mr. Blaine and supports Cleveland. After reviewing Mr. Blaine's record in the House and as Speaker, and referring to the Mulligan lettera, Mr. Rlinks says: Elaine s career as a beoatordid not add greatly to his reputation. The dignity of tne benate was rather depressing to his sen sational methods; it was not tbe arena for the display of his powers to the best advantage. Bet daring his short term as Secretary Of State he demonstrated more clearly than in his Congressional life his positive unfitness for the high position to which his adherents now seek to elect him, and fairly eclipsed all his former efforts to distinguish himself, and there can be no doabt that his retirement from office saved the country from serious embroilment witb other nations, if not from a foreign war. His interference between Chili and Peru was uncalled for, and not creditable to the United States, which Gov ernment as a friendly power to both the con tending parties, bad no right to in trade any opinion on tue settlement ol the diiacuities between the two powers. Bat here aain it ia alleged that there was a private job connected with the question, in which Iarqe profits ere coucerrd, and the power and influence of the Govtrnment of thia country were to be used to further private interests which were held in the background. And ritht here I can not but recall some inci dents in the career of another public maa of prominence some years Since; a man who formerly ccenpied almost as important a ix'i-itiou in the Republican party a.s does Mr. lllaine. Tbe person referred to was a maa of undoubted ability, of genial dispoiitiou, of an unimptachable moral character, and the ii'ol of his constituency in his Congressional district. Repeatedly elected to Conresi, his ability was recoen'zed by hia party in choosing him Speaker of the House for three terms successively, alter which be was called by thi voice of tbe Nation to stlil higher autle?. lut this mans fair narue became m fortunately connected will an enterprise wh'ch the moral sense of tbe people declared in.proper fur any member cf tbe atlonftl legislature tohave any part in, and although the ciiaige was never proven, and notwith standing tbe solemn asservatioas oi inno cence on the part of the accused, tha bfgli moral principles of the members of the !tpublican party received auch a shock from even the suspicion of evil tl at the suspected wrontr - doer was relegated to private life. where he has since remained Have the morals of the Republican party undergone such a change in a few years that what was formerly an unpardonable oirense and dis qualification for official position is to-day to be overlooked and condoned, and considered a recommendation for the highest place i a the nation? And now let me briefly refer to Blaine's letter of acceptance of the nomi nation. Ice principal points contained thereia are the allusions to the great increase of the wealth of the country since the year 1SG0, which, it is claimed, is attributable to the wise government of the Republican party and the beneficent influence of a high protective tarifl. it will probably be a new idea to tbe Undent of political ecouoaiy that a country ruay be made rich and prosperous by excessive taxation, and there may be those who will prefer to believe that for any people to continue to increase in wealth under such a system is ratber indicative of the great natural resources of the country, and the ability of :s inhabitants to develop those resources in a profitable manner. The letter of acceptance contains nothing to convince me of the definability of continuing the Republican party in power. Mr. Bums then reviews Governor Cleve land's career, contrasting it with that of Mr. Blaine, and concludes by saying: "lean not allow the tarnished reputation of Mr. Blaine to be glossed over and brightened by the halo of glory which it is claimed surrounds the Republican party, neither can I admit that the untarnished character of Cleveland can be sullied by the support of some persona who may not come up to the hiKh moral requirements of tne llepablican party. The question of tbe times is: Shall this Government be turned over to one who would regard the public offices aa a means of rewarding Lis friends and punishing his enemies, r to one who would administer the Government as a sacred trust for the benefit of the whole ieople?' Narrow-Gauge t4tettHnslil(i. INew York Commercial Advertiser.) It has been philosophically observed that the minds of some of our statesmen, like the pupil of the human eye, contract themselves tbe more the btroDger there is light shed upon them. fcuccf eding the recent manufacture of the machine party platforms at Chicago, tbe country is now entertained with candidates' letters of acceptance a ppecies of literature hich aprears to have been invented for the excreta purpot s of affording the writers an opportunity of becoming, if so they choose to be, "all things to all men," and of adaptine their "views' of public measures and public policy as nearly aa poasible to the extreme narrow-gauge previously laid down for them by the too ofleu self-constituted party dictators. Men of mediocre minds, and men who are swajed simply by selfish ambition or personal Interests, are necessarily scrupulous in these cases not to ofTend tbe prejudice, nor to excite the distrust even, of their followers or adherents by rüiug above tbe low demagogic level of the "platforms" and manfully proclaiming their adherence to correct principles, which these platforms have purposety antagonized or ignored. ReaUy great men, who, like the illustrious American commoner of a former generation, "would rather be right than be President," can not helo de spising the conditions and trammels thus ar bitrarily imposed upon their consciences and convictions by tbe "ropbisters and calula tors" and the managers and manipulators of conventions, who assume to keep them, after as before their nomination, in tne political leading strings. But, unfortunately the time is not prolific of great men, and therefore we must Bot expect too ranch wbere but lit tie is vouchsafed to us. For the moment tbe rule seems to be to give up to party what was meant for mankind. It would have been in the highest degree refreshing, politically and morally, to have the standard bearers of both the great parties say, each, to these platform-makers: "My countrymen, there are some, nay, many things which yoa have inserted ia your authorized creed which impress me aa eminently unrepablican and nnA.merican; and as 1 am persuaded that these are alto gether hostile to and in cenflict with tbe spirit of 'liberty and equality which ani mated the founders of thia Government, if elected to the Chief Magistracy yoa mast

not expect me to do violence to those impressions by shaping my administration ia a mold so narrow and unpatriotic. It is neither American nor Republican, for example, to legislate for or against particular racea or classes or classes of men seeing that the Declaration of Independence, to wnich I am a candid subscriber, plainly declares that 'all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain tialieoable rights, among which are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness' and it is not less un-Aruericaa and unrepublican to uphold aa economic system which (in 8) ite of the whole spirit of the Constitution, which I am expected to support) taxes one class of citizens for the benefit of another. If I am chosen your Coief Magistrate, I will, as in duty bound, execute the laws; but I will likewise exert all the influence of my office, within legitimate bounds, to prevent or rectify the often intolerable oppressions and inequalities which my fel-low-citizeDa have to endnre under the forms of law; and to that end, depend upon it, if I am elected, the common welfare not the welfare only of thia or that favored class will be kept steadily in view." A little of this spirit of manly independence on the part of our toremost'public men vould stir the country like the blast of a trumpet It is a mistake to suppose that the great body of the people are unable to appreciate the moral courage of public men, be their position or their expectations what they may, which prompt them at erat crises to adhere to principle, at whatever coat. Oi the contrary, not unfrequently that moral con rape has bten the btepping-stone to an enduring popular favor, after it has met and resisted the first inconsiderate impulses of disdain cr disfavor. We are disposed to think there is at this moment more than one 1 'residential candidate who will live long enough to realize this truth when it is too late. Instead of despising or rising above the compromising devices of the average platform, tbev have chosen to right down to them. And the descent, too, has been pretty far down. Principles are thus satisfied to expediency without, compunction, and in the eage rness t3 win the "sweet voices" of the unthinking multitude, the standard bearers outdo even the cam p-f olio were in their sevile prostration. The spectacle, it must be confessed, is not an agreeable one; nor are tbe reflections which it suggests to the contemplative mind in its bearing noon the future of public allairs such as to inspire in any sense a sentiment of satisfaction.

THE CAJITAIGN IX MAINE. Unpleasant News for the Kepublicau Can dldate. Augusta, Me , Special J It is currently reported that General Jo?bua I. Chamberlain, formerly Republican Governor of this State for four years, and widely known for his culture and as a soldier, wilt vote for Cleveland. During Mr. Blaine's recent visit to Uowdoin College that fientlemaa was entertained by General Chamlerain as tbe distinguished euest of that institution, their political differences beiDg. for the time, ignored. The Republicans bad counted on General Chamberlain to support Blaine. How They Will Vote. iSt. Louis Republican. 1 Mr. S. B. McCcrmick returned yes'erdav from a s!x weeks' trip in Illinois and Iowa, wbeie he has made it a point to take obser vations regarding the political situation. Said he to a Republican reporter yesterday: "Hie Irish In tnese two istates, with very few exception?, are all for Cleveland- In nearly every town that I visited the iWsh. portion of the population denounced Blaine in tbe strongest language, and declared that what ever promises were made to try to influence the Irish vote would be dishonored in the same manner in which he left Michael Boyton to pine in an Rnslisii dungeon for twenty months. The circumstances connecting Boyton with Blaine is fresh in the minds of the Irish. Roy ton was arrested at tbe boue of his aunt in Kildare and lodged in Kilmainham Jail. Two months later his paper of American citizenship were forwarded to Minister Lowell ia London, from whence a copy was sent to Washington, together with his discharge after three years' service in the Union army as an officer. Mr. Blaine was the man to decide the right of American citizenship there and then, but he absolutely refused to say one word in behalf ot thialriah-Americaa soldier. "Then there is the McSweeney matter. which Irishmen cannot readily forget. McSweeney's case also came before Blaine, when he drew the distinction between native and foreign-born citizens. McSweeney, of course, was born in Ireland, but came to San Francisco thirty-five vears ago, took out his parers and settUd down in businew there In tne fall of 1879, together with his family, he decided to purchase a farm in his native countv, Donegal. He sold out ms busines-i for 70.000 and removed to Ireland. Shortly after his arri val be was invited to attend a land league meeting, for which he was arrested and placed in Kilmainham JaiL Al though his wife wrote to Blame several times, and forwarded his naturalization papers to Washington, he was left eighteen months in jail. Rut that was not all; his property was confiscated and his cattle driven off his land for nnjust taxes." " iou think, then, that lilaine will not set much of the lri3h vote?

HARBOR 300 FEET AHOVJC TIPKWATER, AXB BEK ALOFT THE TORCH OF LIBERTY. Thirteen years after the young French sculptor, Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, conceived the idea of erecting a gigantic statue of Liberty in New Ycrk Harbor, the chief commercial highway to Libeity's chosen seat, the United States of America, the corner-stone of the pedestal on which his completed work will be set has been laid with imposing Masonic and military ceremonies, shared about equally by French and American citizens, representing the leading republics of the world. Should the necessary funds be forthcoming, the pedestal will be completed by November of this year. About' $1:0, 0e are now on hand and 125,000 are needed. The btatue is complete, and toners above coble surrounding buildings in l'aris. It will be taken to pieces shortly, and transported to this continent by ships of the French navy. That history of tbe great undertaking which in probably ab'mt another year will give New York Harbor the largest statuo in the world, begins iieai ly nine yeara aiM, when the tirst steps wer taken in" the matter bv a body of distinguished Frenchmen, euthuyi astic lovers of liberty, whon its originator and creator bad interested in his noble conception. The?e fcentleroMi formed themselves into a society called the Union Franco Aniericaine de Franc-, and held a banquet, November 0, li7.". tr inaugurate the project. M. Bartholdi a design wa.1 enthusiastically a:qroved. and a subcrip,5ou for th erection of the Matue be?un. Tue city of Paria mbscribed -.ItflJ, and n tire years Frauc had Fnbspribed, chiefly in smail sums, the S2-"0,000 necessary for this purpose Ano'her banquet was then held in the Frercb capital, at which an address to the peop-o i f the United States was adopted, recalling the ailiaro of France with this Nation in the cause of liberty during the Revolutionary War, and embodying sentimeuts expressive f their hearty accord in the maintenance of democratic principles of the Government. Work on the colo33dl statue was promptly begun under the superintendence of its designer.who has witnessed its completion. The United States Minister to France at that time, Mr. Morton, drove tbe fust spike, October 24, riveting the first of tbe bolts which were to join the statue to the pedestal Only the ruht arm, head and Fhoulder were at that time ready, but all the plaster casts were completed and steady work was being done with the bronze of which the statue is made. The hand and wrist holding the torch had already arrive! in America in time to be exhibited at tbe Centennial .Exposition, and was afterward temporarily placed in Madison Square, New York. Meanwhile, on this side of the Atlantic, measures of co-operation with the gererous Flinch nation were taken. On January 2, 1877, a mf eting of citizens of New York was held for the purposes of presenting tho undertaking to the American people, to promote the legislation necessary for the reception and inangaration of the ttatue and 10 create financial means for erecting a suitable foundation and pedestaL Congress passed a resolution providing for the erection of the statue on Bedloe's Island, New York Harbor, and for its maintenance .in good order. Moreover, its formal reception by the Presi dent of the United States, on behalf of toe Government, was secured, and President Grant thanked the French people for the gift by autograph letter. An address to the people of this country, asking subscriptions, was written and circulated, but these have come in slowly, and there is yet the deficiency given aboye, which was reported on the day the corner-stone of the pedestal was placed In position, August 5. Subscriptions already in have been epent on the foundation chiefly, with the exception of a balance which will last bat a short time. The facing of the pedestal will be of L3ete3 Island (Ccnn.) granite, which is a rich pur pie in co'or aiid of great endurance. General Charles P. Stone, formerly of the United States Army, ii Knineer-ln-Chief of tbe undertaking, and Mr. Richard M. Hunt. Arcbitect-iii-Clik'f. Tbe liure of "Liberty Enlightening lue World'' is 101 feet and ll'i inches in height; to the end of the torch, which will be lighted up with electricity at night, 133 feet. The head is fourteen feet high, and forty persons can euud within it. The pedestal will be eighty-two feet high. As the mind naturally reverts to the Colofcsus of Rhodes, in contemplatiae thesefigures.it may be well to slate that that was 105 feet in height. Tbe statue of Liberty is the largest in the world now standing, and probably the largest ever made. It was not cat, but its various parts were hammered into properforms Arrangements' bave been made which will prevent it from beirgdsmaeed by lightning. The design, with which every reader is finiiiiar, is universally admired, being apt, simple and majestic. Criticism has spared the designer. This gentleman, although now only about fifty years of age, had attained reputation before undertaking the work by which he is best known. He was bom at Colmar, Fiance, and learned the details of his art of the celebrated Ary Scheffer. His first work of prominence was his bas-relief of "Francescadi Rimini, ''executedin 1852 Bartholdi made the statue of Lafayette, which adorns Union Square, New York. He was one of tbe French Commissioners at the Centennial Exhibition, Philadelphia, where he was awarded a medal for the exhibition of the bronze etatues ot "Peace," "The Young Vine Grower," and "Genius in the Grasp of Misery." He is a chevalier of the Legion of Honor of France. Notable in his recent undertakings, additional to "Liberty Enlightening tbe World," is tbe lion cut out of the solid rock at Belfort, France, a figare eishty feet Jong and thirty feet high. M. Bartholdi resides in the city of Paris. Independents in Kansas. Topeka, Kan., Special The following call was issued yesterday: The Resubmission Republicans of Kansas will meet In delegate convention at Topeka, oa Wednesday, August 20. at 4 p. m., for the purpose of cotiaultatlon and to place a State ticket in tbe field, If deemed advisable. All Rep tbiicana who are Ju favor of a resubmission of the prohibition amendment to the people, either directly or by a Conntliutionai Convention, are laritAd ta Cooperate with us, It U desired that erory

county in the State should be represented by a dt location not exceedlne aeven in number, and no delegate abad be Interested in the llqior traffic. We believe tne time has come whea the peopleof Kansas who ara in favor of real temperance and good order tshoald adopt some meaus to put a nop to increasing the wie of liquors la the State, and to that lawless and unrestrained trafiio which absolute prohibition haa utterly failed to check: that there should be a nriuzentan i practical law enacted, laying a firm band oa the liquor business a law competent to reeulate, restrain, and control it in tbe interest of sobriety and good Kovcriiment QBj order of the General Committee. George VV. Vrax. Gnoses W. MaaTix, Joel Huntkr, Executive Committee. The date fixed for the meeting of the convention is the same as that of tbe meeting of tbe Democratic State Convention. Tbey will oppose the election of any candidate ou Republican elate ticket who favors prohibition tbeee candidates being Martin for Governor, Howe for Treasurer, Lowhead for State Superintendent, Johnson for Associate Justice, and Horton for Supreme Judge. They will indorse the Democratic nominees for these offices. This is a terrible set back to tbe Republican ticket in this State, and will very likely result in the defeat of the entire State ticket. CLEVER IKE HILL. DEAD.

A Man Who Has Saved Many a Member of Congress from Disgrace. Washington Special. The evening papers here announce the death of Colonel Isaac Hill, of Newark, O., to-day. Tnis removes one of the most familiar figures from the National boards. "Colonel Ike"' as be was called, was probably the best known public man in Washington, wbere he has been prominent for the jest ten years. He was Assistant-Ssrgeant-Arms of the House when he died. This does not convey the precise status of the man here. He was the most noted Democratic "whip" that ever kept his party in the legislative traces. When a sudden squeeze would come the Democratic leaden would always exclaim, "Where's Ike Hill'.'" and rely upon his tact and ingenuity to pet the scattered votes together. This trick be had learned by his strong political instincts, which ran in practical channels. Nobody knew better than Ike the personal habits of the Congressmen. Those of his own side he knew personally, every one, before the end of the first month of the session. He knew where to find them. The clever devices adopted to secure immunity from an all-night session were of no use when Hill undertook to find those who attempted to escape. He was the practical man of his party the opposition had always to combat. He was a big-hearted, generous fellow and had many friends on the Republican side, especially among the easy-going, poker-playing set 'Many a member on a spree had been saved fiom disgrace by Hill's precautions, and in all the persoual courtesies of life he know no party barriers. 0a one notable occasion Hill labored all day and a'l night with a Southern member of tbe Fortysixth Congress, ou the verge of tbe deiiriu-n tremens, to prevent him from shooting a corisjoLident who bad been giving an account cf bis antics in Lie House, and Ike was successful. It nearly broke his heart at the way certain members of the Ohio delegation treated him when he came back to Washington pennilesh, seeking the pasiron of Assistant Sergeant at-Arms. There was a rival candidate from Ohio and the delegation split between the two. Ike, however, was backed by inllnencfS which compelled the onpositir.n to come to him and thus won after a hitter fight. He had gone to Ohio to a -mil his party in organizing the State campaign. His tall, stoop shouldered figure and homely fac will be missed by many friends here 8Dd the services he has rendered his party in Congress will be appreciated now pojr Ike Las gone. Major Calkins' Misstatements. Chicago, Aug. 1 Chicago Times: Permit me to call attention to the inaccurate or fake statements in regard to the official act 3 of Governor Cleveland made by Major Calkins. Republican nominee for Governor cf tbe State of Indiana, in his speech, delivered at Richmond, Ind., on the 31st ult,, and published in your paper of to-day. I quote from the speech, to-wit: Ue should not be supported for other reasons. He vetoed important bills passed by the last Legislature of New York, among wbica were those to ptotett children of tender ave irom excessive labor in cbfir;Uble and relorra institutions. He vetoed the bill reducing the fare on elevated railways, thereby orTressiug the working classes, who desired to live in the suburb?, away from tenementhouses. He vetoed a bill reducing the hours of labor of car-drivers. He vetoed a law giving meciimih m tin f qnal lien upon rf 1 estate for the labor hi.'I uiuicrlal which uhev furnished to enhance Its value. Now, if Major Calkins ha 1 examined the published lana of New York, instead of repealing false and reckless 8taterueat3, be vonld bave found that Governor Cleveland pot enly did not veto, but that he signed the bill to protect children of tender age from excessive labor in charitable and reform institutions. The 11 echanic's lien law was vetred in the interest of the workingnien. Instead of giving the mechanic the first lien, as w th? object of the bill, by an oversight in the drafting of it it ;:ave to all parties haviag claims, whether mechanic or not, the first lien, thus reducing the mechanics to a level with all claimants. Moreover, it repealed in distinct terms a number 01 mechanics lien Jaws already on the statute books. Walter N. Thayer, Esq., President of the State (New York) Trades Assembly, in a letter dated July L'l, lSSi.and published in the Albany Argus, savs: "As to tho liei Ixx it is generally acknowledged now that he d;d usja kiodness in vetoing tint bill, becius, through errors of onr own in drafting the measure the bill es psc(i would have been a positive iojury to us." Mr. Thayer in his letter enumerates the folio ffing b'tli in the interest of workinsrnen as passed bv the Legislature and signed by Governor Cleveland, to wit: Abolish'ng tbe manufacture of hats in State prisot; creating a bureau .f la-or statistics; the tenement-house cigar bill (twice); the abolition of convict contract labor, and a bill making workingnien preferred creditors in casn of assignment or f lilure of the firm or corporation by which thy ar employed. The bill reducing the hoars of la'oor of conductors and drivers made it unlawful to exact from conductors or drivers of cars drawn by horses more than twelve hour' labor for a day's work. There was nothing to prevent a voluntary agreement b?Ueen the parties to work more than twelve hours, thus inviting litigation in each case as to whether tbe work nad been "exacted," or voluntarily rendered It did not apply to caes wbere tbe men were paid by tbe r.rip. It did not app'y to conductors of cars drawu by steam or by males, or drivers ot stages. The Albany Evening Journal ( Republican) described the bill jn the following terms: "It is purely a piece of bancomba legislation, and a patent lie in its very title." As I have already taken so much space that I can not ask for room to explain the veto of the bill reducing fares on the elevated railways, allow me to say that oaly 5 cents fares are charged during certain of the morning and evening, hours in which the great body of workingmen ride to and from their homes. Governor Cleveland, in his veto message, clearly justified his action in vetoing the bill. Tariffs From the Manufacturer'! Point of View. IX w York Evening Post Sir There are only three things that make the price of goods, viz.: 1st, raw raaterial; 2d, labor; 3d, power. I don't care whether it is a needle or an anchor, gold, silver, iron, steel, copper, wool, silk, cotton, jute, etc., etc., all come under these three items. Now whatever interferes with the natural values of these primary necessities for successful manufacturing must be removed. Therefore, all duties on raw materials, for manufacturing purposes, must be taken off. Then, bands ofl; let trade take care of itself, as it will and can, under auch circumstance, but under no other. This done, onr manufacturing industries will be put on a

natural basis and their growth and success provided for all time. Give ns raw materials free for manufacturing purposes, beginning with coal, and oar manufacturers will make cheaper and better goods than they are now making, and where we have one mill we shall need six. Give ns raw materials for manufacturing, and instead of beinsr kept on the low. coarse clashes of goods, and in those crowding and dowdy competing among ourselves in our A. B C of manufacturing, we will spread over the whole alphabet of goods possible for ns to make, anVl oy diversifying our manufacturing industries in the higher branches, have increased employment for our people, and open new chaunels for labor in all branches of industry. Kaw materials for manufacturing purposes will not only give us the control of our home market (which is our sheet anchor), but in which we are cjajseiy competed with, and in many things undersold to-day by importations, but will enable ns to enter the mardets of the world with eur surplus. If you tax the raw materials of which your eoods are made, how can you make cheap goods? It is impossible. How are we to enter markets near to us, and which we say are ours naturally, under our present system? A young Hebrew openly embraced Christianity at the Boston Industrial Home recently, and a local paper saya this is believed to be the first instance in the history of Boston's ecclesiastical activity of Israelites responding to direct missionary labor on their behalf.
