He returned in a few momenta, and entering the room where the nurse and patient were, discovered that his father was breathing faster, with Shortened breaths.

Y.: The Duckworth Club extends to you its heartfelt symyathy, and condoles the loss to yourself, friends and country of your illustrious husband. J. V7. Utter, President. Telegrams of condolence were also received from George L. Miller., of Chicago, and Richard Kevins, of Pittsburg. Mr. Manning came to Albany on Tuesday evening. December 13th, to seek rest The diagnosis of his case at the time he was stricken down at Washington showed that he "was suffering from Uright's disease. This, his physician believed, was brought on by close confinement in his private office, in the Treasury building, which was in a wretched sanitary condition. A large untyped pipe connected directly with the sewer, allowing the free escape of sewer-gas into the office. The first eymtoms of the disease -showed themselves soon after Mr. Manning began to use the quarters in the forms of fall are of strength, shortening of breath. After the partial paralysis, which occurred in March, 1SSG, an examination resulted in the discovery that he was suffering from chronic Blight's disease complicated with hypertrophy and degeneration of the heart, and that the paralysis was probably due to a hemorrhage into the brain. There was no recurrence of the paralysis, and his mind remained perfectly clear to the last. MR. MANNIKG8 LIFE AKD PUBLIC SERVICES. Mr. Manning was born in Albany, August 1G, 1831. He came of a sturdy parentage, the characteristics of which probably had much to do with forming the nature of the man and fitting him for the strong battle which he fought with fortune, and which be won. From his earliest boyhood he felt the desire and formed the purpose of self-help. While at school the disposition to be doing was his dominant characteristic He was impressed with the idea long before his young mind could form it into an intelligible statement that he could unite the work of getting an educa tion with the work of supporting hlmrelf, and he put this idea into execution at the first opportunity. He resisted the

policy of his parents to confine him to the routine of school life for a set number of years before allowing him to attack the field of industry itself, and so, as soon as he acquired the simple rudiments of an education, at the early age of eleven, he obtained a situation in the office of the Albany Atlas, a paper which was subsequently merged into the Argus, $nd on this paper the life work of Mr. Manning was begun and ended in a business way. Step by step he worked his way up until he finally became the leading mind of the journal and managed it according to his own views. And this position was practically ha of the leader of the Democratic party in the State. It was in reporting the proceedings of he Legislature, one or other of the houses cf which constantly fell to his lot, that he first began to gain his Insight Into politics, which gradually htted him to become a eader of hia party. Here ne met tne potiticians from all parties of the State, and consulted with them on the issues of the day. In 1SG5 he was advanced to the position of associate editor with Mr. Cassldy. Mr. Manning's career from this time on was wholly identified with the politics of the Btte. The turning point in his career as a political manager was when Mr. Tilden took possession of the Democratic party. During Mr. Tiiaen's administration the Argus, directed by Mr. Manning, supported hira unflinchingly, and many of the schemes of reform proposed were credited to the brain of the editor. Against the canal ring, as against the Tweed ring, he waged inexorable war. The acts of placlne the canals and prisons on a business and self-sustaining basis, and of augmenting the term and power of the executive were urged, and it was asserted and not con trad icated, planned and secured by Manning. He was a member of the Demo cratic mate committee in ls.t;. was maae secretary of that body in 1879 and isso and served as its chairman in lSsl, 18S3andl8S4. He controlled the delega lion from the State of New lork to the national conventions at St. Louis In is&, and at Cincinnati in 1S30, and whatever aggressive work the State Democracy accomplished from 1874 tolS8l was identi fied with. Mr. Manning s mnaence upon its organization and policy. He was the recognized successor of Dean Richmond and Samuel J. Tilden in the leadership oi Democratic leaders, and when Mr. Cleveland took his seat as President he tendered Mr. Manning the only office he ever accepted, the Secretaryship of the Treasury. Then for the first and last time be entered public life as an officeholder. The business career of Mr. Manning was quite apart from his political life, and had well fitted him to grapple with the vexed questions connected with the finances of the nation. He was the natural business successor to Cornstock in the proprietorship of the Argus, and alter Mr. Cassldy's death he managed the entire concern as president of the Argus company. It tnere is any business in the world which requires acoolhead, good judgment and shrewd management, it is that of a great newspaper. Bat Mr. Mar.ning had other business relations. He bad been for many years the Albany director of the Albany and Basnaehsnna PouJroad. From 1609 to 18S2 he was a trustee of the National Savings Bank of Albany. In 1S73 he was 'elected a director of th National Com mercial Bank of Albany, and when Rober L Johnson died, In 1331, he was chosen Vice President of th!s bank. A year latet the President died, and Mr .Manning wasr elected to succeed him. Aa Secretary of the Treasury Mr. Man ninz took firm ground on the question of sound currency, recommending in his re port December. 18m. the repeal oi the su ver coinage act. The policy which he was developing was one baaed on solid princi ples of finance. He wss twice married. His first wife, Mary Little, whom he married in 1353, died in 1882. On November 19, 1334, he married Miss May Fryer, of Albany, who survives him. He has also four children.

Only lunatics lire to be so old as that; wise men die in their cradles, and good men live forever. There fore, ii ever j on axe or naye been so old, yon are a lunatic. See? That is a Cell. Tbe asylum is fnll of them: come no and take one; we hay 'em to fit all sizes and suit all temperaments, and 80 roomy that tbe greatest intellects rattle around in them, trying to find themselves. We don't allow everybody to come In here; this is an asylum for lunatics; not a ref age for fools. It takes brains to make a lunatic, master, but a fool is just born that way. Liow a man as you do a lamp-chimney. big at the bottom and little at the top, and open at both ends, so that everything you pour into hlmrnns right out. and he's iust as empty the day he dies as he was the day be was born, and you have a fool. There. cut that out and paste It in your hat: then when people find you to go to an island by the land route, they will know who you are. and send for the Fool Killer. There now, never mind what a lunatic says ; we're always telling the truth when we don't mean it. We've been shut away from the orld and party platforms s) long we've forgotten how to lie civilly. But tell me, my masters, all of you, what was the first lie you ever told? Yon don's know? Well, then what was the worst? You don't know that either? Well, then, once more, for Truth's sake, what was the last one? Ah, you don't know that either. Well enough might we forget the first and the worst ein we ever committed, if on we could be cure that we knew we had committed the last one. Excuse me; I want to step into the incurable ward just a moment. There is a man there who thinks he owns the world. I am going to have him turned out; he is no more crazy than the seven wise men. Why, you ought to see some of the sane men we have in here; so sane, and wise, and level-headed they are tiresome, they are Irritating, they are maddening to a well-balanced lunatic. If there is anything I can't endure, it Is a sane man in a lunatic asylum. But then, A Happy New Year to you all, my masters ! A Happy, Happy Ne w Year ! And we will join hands to make it a hap-' py one, won't we? Ay, that will we, and we can do it, too, if the poor sane people will only either take hold and help, or bards oT and not meddle. Call np the Notary then, and we will resolve, and swear off and reform. Write now, good Na'ory: BESOLVZD, 1 hat the world Is round, but most of the people In it are flat. 1 on see, it is well always to start off with a plain statement of fact, upon which everybody, wise men, lunatics and fools, are agreed. KeaolTedt That there shall be 12 month

In this year, of which we will devote 4 to the world, 4 to the flesh, and 4 to ourselves, and keep Lent the rest of the time. What we want to do, masters, is to draw up a few resolutions on the first of January that we may feel reasonably certain we won't break early on the morning of th?

second. Kesolved, That we will lpye ourselves as cur ne'guoof loves mmseli, and that we will make it hot for him If he tries to outdo us in this labor of love. Resolved, That, having exhausted all the gospel there is in the United States, we will import a preacher who will not come, thus strengthening the feeble knees that are wobbling in their determination not to go to church if they can find any sort of an excuse for staying at home. .Resolved, That a dollar isn't too much for a concert ticket, and ten cents is big money for a missionary collection. Resolved, That .he youngest deacon in the church shall teach the pastor how to preach, and tell him what to preach about. Resolved, That the poor we have always with us, but it isn't our fault. We would gladly get rid of him if we could, and if he will tell us where he wants to go, and will promise never to come back again, we will gladly take up a collection and pay his fare one way. Resolved, That the town needs- a new opera-house, and seats in the church ought to be free. Resolved, That we wouldn't quarrel with our neighbor so much if he wouldn't so persistently disagree with ns when he knows we are right. Resolved, That if everybody was as hem est as we are, the millennium would bethundering at the front door before we could pull enr boots on. Resolved, That our neighbors are no better than they ought to be. Resolved. That we are, a mighty sight. Resolved, That we don't see how we can be any better than we were last year. These resolutions, masters, are written only for sane people, and if they are wrong in spirit and letter, remember that a lunatic shut up in his barred and padded cell has little opportunity for learning and judging the ways and thoughti of the sane people in the great outside world. For ourselves, we subscribe to the following: HEW YEAR'S RE30LVEa TOR LUNATICS. That we don't know enough to know just exactly what we do know; therefore, e win try to learn it over and over everyday. vv e will ret on any man s corns the inetsnt be "hollers." Ve will not discuss politics or religion With crazy people. We will not tell the doctor what is the matter with us; it is his business to know. While we know the nurses are the craziest people in the ward, vre will spare their feelings, and not teil them of it. We will give away more than we make, lend more than we borrow, pay more than we owe, work more than we eat, and think more than we say. We will not laugh at any man's hurts until he laughs first, and not then unless we are mighty sure that be eniovs it as much as he wants us to think he does. We Will continue to abide in the asylum, that we may be secured against the intrusion of fools. We will not fire paper wads against the ceiling to see if they will stick, when we know they will. We will not get drunk just to see how it feels. We will keep all the rules we can remember, break all that we forget as fast as we can think of them, and disregard all that we ever knew. These rules are for the conduct and Information of lunatics only, and, of course, no sane man need feel bound to abide by them. They are easy enough rules for lunatics. A happy New Year, my master?, and when you are aware of being sane, come up to the asylum and be a lunatic, and my word for it, in ten days you'll look ro much like your own old self your best Iriends will recognize you.

Gregg, representing a SL Louis house, arrived in this city yesterday from "No Man's Land." He confirms the reports of the bloody deeds of the Kelly family, and gives further particulars. He says he can remember stopping at the Kelly Hou?e to get meals. It was a one story hut with a barn a short distanoe away, On his former trip there, about the 20th of November, he missed the family and did not know what had become of them. On tbe last trfp he was told, at Oak City, the particulars of the finding of the bodies soon after an investigation had been made. Beneath the house was found a cellar in which were the decomposed remains of a man. This body lay almost Beneath a trap which had been built in the floor. In one corner of the cellar was found two other bodies, bsth so fftr decomposed as to be unrecognized. Besides those, Mr. Cregg says, there were four bodies buried beneath the stable, one oi wmcn was mat oi a woman. A cowboy by the name of "Texy." who eaid he was with the second investigating tarty, stated that the first bodies found led to bo much talc that the whole premises, for rods around the house, was searched. Lying alongside the barn, buried at a depth of not over three feet, was unearthed the remains of a man, which appeared to be better dressed than aay of the others, and which, it was believed, was the body of the missing J. T. Taylor. About two feet away was a second body, not at all recognizable. At the corner of the barn were buried bodies of a third rcan and a woman. The bodies were taken from their res tine daces and eiven burial. Nothing has been heard of the Kellys since they removed. There is a feeling, however, that with their ill-gotten gains tfcey had removed to Old Mexico. io speaking ot the personal appearance of the family. Mr. Uregg says there was nothing particularly disagreeable about them. Tha son and daughter were over twenty years oi age. AVENGED HER WRONGS.

ON THE TARIFF. I

The Sit? it; 03 Ably Diicnnei ani Aualfzii by Heary Witten oa. Iii Opinion of Blaiaeism and OeorgelsolTariff for Revenue Only Wanted A Striking Paper, Following closely and in good season af ter the President's earnest plea for tax re form, Harpers Magazine supplements the executive message witn a paper from Henry Watterson, expounding and advocating the policy of a "Tariff for Revenue Only." The devotees of a high protection and surplus will have their innings next month. At the outset the able and earnest Kentuckian deprecates the muddle into which this whole question has been dragged. He shows that the theory of restrictions noon trade and commerce is of comparstivsly modern jrowth. "The war of the American Revolution was the direct consequence of the policy ot restriction established by ureat Uritaln over her colonies, and so fixed was the adherence to that policy, with Its prescrpthre rights and preferred classes, the taxation of the many for the benefit Of the few, mat arter the establishment of the Government of the United States England declined our proposal to institute free trada between the two coun tries. In those days it was not pretended that restriction protected the work people. It was an exclusive prerogative of the a ristocracy, who had no motive to conceal its actual operation and effest In securing to them the full advantage of the monopalies they enjoyed by reason of royal favor, in which the masses of mankind had no part or lot." The Declaration of Independence- ar raigned Gtorge I I "forcuttin? offour trade with all parU -1 the world." and the whole spirit of tbe dtrument breathed a fierce protest agal st excessive and uujeet taxation. After while, however, the protectionist polic;, crept in with the ecos-omlc-patrlotie vlea of nurturing our infant industries and making us self sustaining in time of war. Next, it donned the plausibly Philanthropie mask of gaurding American labor against the "pauper labor Of Kurope." Are these high taxes necesary to enable the manufacturers to compete with their foreign rivals? Do excessive taxes and a huge surplus guarantee certain and high wages to the American artisan? If these two queries are to be answered negatively, then tbe p:ops are'knocked from under all the high protective logic. Mr. W atterson answers both questions in the negative. This country has had high protection for the past twenty-five years what is the consequence: Artificial stimulation, high prices, and plenty of work, ending with glutted markets, excessive competition, strikes, lockouts, seething agitation and discontent. A tariff commission, composed entirely of protectionists, a few years ago recomended a general reduction of 25 per cent, in the war tariff. Then, when the matter bade fairly to become a campaign lisue, a protectionist faction was organized within the Democracy to set back and an tagonize tne work oi reform. JUSTICE FOR ALL DESIRED. Referring to the decision of Richard Cobden and John Bright that free trade would Inaugurate a millennium and abolish pauperism in England, Mr. Watterson says: "The truth is that protection in America, as little as free trade in England, has wrought what was claimed for it and expected of it by its partisans to wit, the ex tinction of pauperism. Nor will thought ful men look to any theory of legislation or plan oi government to do that. As long as there are Inequalities in human character they will show themselves in human conditions. The frugal man will save while the thriftless man wastes his substance, and to the end of time the rewards of sobriety and skill will be set against the penalties attached to incapacity and sloth. All that statesmen can do is to consider what is right and what is best, and contrasting opposite policies and systems with the the assistance of collected information. follow the injunction ot Paul and 'hold that which is good.' Government is more or less a compromise, and too much in wisdom may not be required of it. But wise and free men should have'a care that its compromises are just to all, and not the artifices of self-interest and class interest disguised aa philanthropists." Advocates of tariff reform promise no miracles or impossibilities. The j udicious decrease of taxes will not extract sunbeams from cucumbers, but it will inure to the direct benefit of the people, will derive revenue from luxuries rather than necessaries, will spoil some monopolies, and will do no wrong to honest labor. The man who imagines that the country can enrich itself by taxation beyond the just needs of the government is almost toofatuouB to reason with. How does the unprotected American farmer maintain successful competition with the pauper labor of Europe, yet pay good wages to his labor? Why should he pay forced tribute to some ring or monopoly ? Of coarse he is told he gets a home market for what he has to sell and a cheaper market for what he bas to buy. "But he does not, because if he had not exhausted the home market h would have nothing to send abroad to selL and if the home manufacturer could and did undersell the foreign market, from which the farmer ia excluded by protective duties, what need would the home manufacturer have for those duties? They are levied to enable him to make a profit against hia foreign rival, and to the extent of his wants the American farmer must pay the difference. ß Diversified industries and high-priced fool are the results not of tariff laws, but cf the concentration of masses of people at given points favorable to commerce and manufactures, which spring from the concentration and not he concentration from them. The protectionists confuse cause and effects." TBI FLtCTCATlOKS OF TRICES. Mr. Watterson quotes an amusing and Instructive extract from Henry George's treatise to elucidate the confusion ot cause and effect, and then proceeds to discuss the fluctuations of prices during the past twenty-five years, especially the price of steel rails. "This steel-rail tax is a perpetual burden. The lowest quotation on British rails in 18SG was $1S.50; freight to New Orleans, $125; dockage, eta, $1; duty, $17; total, $37.40, allowing nothing for commission. When the American price advanced to $38 importations increased. As we have seen, there has been an advance in the American rrlce within the last twelve months of $17 a ton. Should a repeal of the tariff result In a decline of $17, the price would not be less than it was at one time ia 1SSG; yet the decline was not disastrous, while the subsequent advance was costly, in the year 1S3G tbe product of the American ateel-rall combination was 1,500.000 tons. There are In the United States 110,000 miles of railroad, and this year the new roads will reach to lO.OOO miles possibly 12.000. Ninetv tons of steel rails are re quired for ever mile of road where steel is nspd. It is safe to sav that the steel rails cost the companies $15 more, year In and year out, because of th tariff, or $1,350 for every mile of road built. Multiplying this ty 10X00 the number of miles to be built in 1867 for the new roads alone the tax Is $13,500,000. 'These rails last only ten years. The en tire railroad 8 j stem of the United States has to be renewad every ten years, or at the rste at present of 14.000 rulles a year; the additional cost of this, at $1,350 per mile, or, for the 14.000 miles, is $13,900,000. In other words, the tariff will soon Impose upon the builders ot new roads, an on those who renew the old ones as they wear out, a tu of $32,400,000 la, excess of what the

cost wonld be were the American railroads permitted to purchase rails where they could buy them cheapest. A part of this tax is capitalized and goes into the cost of the roads; the remainder Increases the operating expenses to that extent. "A more striking example than this of tbe real character of the protective system may not be found, and it ought to serve both as a revelation and a warning. All these vast profits, forced by law oufof the poCets of the whole people, ave gone into a few hands, and have, in a few years, built np enormous private wealth at the public expense. They were, and they continue to be, an assessment upon every mile of travel made and every pound of freight

carried, for the benefit oi a specially favored and a very small class. Yet, though largar in degree, they are not different in kind from countless other impositions of the tariff to which the country is indebted for the startling inequalities of fortune witnessed bv the present generation of Amer icans. The old English statute that, under rigid Densities, required the dead to be burled in woolens, for the purpose of encouraging the manufacture of textile fabrics, was scarcely more grotesque than are some of the jobs which have crept into our tarin, wmcn, ii they were not so unjast and audacious, would be laughable." FLrCTt'ATION OF WJMIS ANALYZE. Next Mr. Watterson takes nn and verv thoroughly analyzes fluctnation of wages. "In epite of our so called protection, the American wage-earner to-day feels his position to be so precarious that he is in con stsTnt dread of losing it, and that fear n adroitly played upon bylte interested beneficiaries of hisru taxes when they ringthe changes of 'Europe's pacper labor.' Protected as we are, and have been, why does tbe American workman to-ity make more complaint than the Englieh or the I renen workman If protection rave con stant work and good wages, as is claimed, why the clamor, the strikes, the lockouts and the antagonism? Wages advanced in America from 183!) to lSSOsetadily through all tariff changes, and during a period of fourteen years, when we had a taruT for rev.-nue only. From lCO to 1S33. during a i riod of war and fiaancial demoralizatio and political excitement, the advance cor inued, but with periods of tiuctuat.on moe plainly marked, registering in the tw. ity-three years an increase of 23 3G per ce- ' In Great Britain, undera near approach to free trade, we find in the- principal mechanical industries an advance from lsvi to 18S3 of 39 18 per cent, and what was not the case in anything like the same extent in America accompanied by a marvelous expansion of export of manufactur ed goods. "Except for our vast area oi cheap, fertile, and unoccupied lands, we should have had far greater want among cur work-people than they have ever yet known, and when there are no more such lands open to occupation, who shall say that the load we have put upon ourselves will not be heavier than we can bear? "As shall be clearly shown the wages of labor In the United States are fixed by the wages of the unprotected farm band, not of the protective factory operative. It is cheap Jand, not protective duties that produces high wages, completely refntinz the old protectionist theory that 'high prices maae mgn wages, ana tnat low prices make low wages.' High prices have often coexisted and now co-exist with high wages. This is true even with respect to nominal wages, i. e. to wages reckoned in money It. is still truer with respect to real wages, i. e.. to wages estimated in the food or other things which the workman buys with his money wages." It Is very clearly demonstrated by Mr. Watterson that a tax which enhances the cost of machinery and raw material must o De Tate to decreaee wages. "The English workman," he adds, "does not dread cheap labor. His antagonism is expert labor. It is the inexpert pauper labor of Earope which is overmatched by the Bkilled, highpriced labor of England. Our chief European rival is England. Yet the spectre of the pauper labor of Europe, which England despises, walks his round as sentinel for protection in America." BLAJHEISM AND GEORG EISM THE EXTREMES. In conclusion, the labor movement is thoughtfully discussed, Mr. Watterson contending that the safe ground lies between the extremes of Blaineism on the one side and Georgeism on the ether. The Kentucky editor is rated as a free trader by protective organs. This is an explicit statement of his real position, with a moral lesson ailixed thereto. "No one entitled to the name of statesman would advise the precipitate substitution of 'a tariff for revenue only' for tbe system of bounties, denominated protection, which we have maintained for a quarter of a century. That clause of the thrift plank in the last National Democratic platform which pledged the party to revise the tariff 'in a spirit of fairness to all interests,' was as sincerely as it was unanimously adopted. In making redactions it could be the purpose of no responsible party to injure tbe industries of the country, but the rather to Dromote their healthy growth; and it being true that many industries have come to rely upon legislation for successful continuance, changes in our revenue laws should be at every step regardful of the labor and capital involved. All revenue reformers agree to that. That which they insist upon is that we shall begin the work, already too long deferred, of putting the war tariff on a pece footing, and that to the process of the revision and redaction shall be applied the wisdom of economic experience, the principles of the constitution, and the equities Of just taxation, which must be general and cot special. "The manufacturers, whp think they cannot live and prosper without the subsidies which theyeDjoy under the tariff, and w ho refnsrlto listen to the just demands Of reform, should take to their minds and hearts a lesson out of the darkest chapter of American history. The slaveowner thought he ceuld not raise sogar, rice and cotton at a profit without tbe protection be enjoyed in slave labor. Out of that error rose the gigantic and baleful power which through fifty years threatened our national life. .Beginning upon the lines ot an economic fallacy, the institution thus arrayed against.tbe fundamental principle cf our republican fabric, at once illogical and inhuman, developed Into an oligarchy etrorger than the union ot the States. All the while it was a thorough delusion; as a system of labor, clumsy and costly; as a political influence, despotic; as a moral force, destructive. Like the protectionists of to-day, ita friends would listen to nothing, and In blood and flame it was svept out of existence. Acd now what do we see? such productivity under frae labor as was never dreamed of under slave labor." , Ab, TLcie! Lafayette Journal.
