Henry Watterson A Cain Announces His Inalterable Opposition to War Taxes Views ot Other Speakers. New York, January 21. The Tariff Reform Club gave a dinner to-night to 30 guests at the Metropolitan Opera House. After the dinner half a score of the guests discussed the issues of tariff re form. Anson Phelps Stokes presided. The epeakers were Hon. W. C. P. Breckinridge, ot Kentucky, Hon. Melbourne H. Ford, of Michigan, Hon. Henry Watterson, of Keatuc ky, Hon. il. D. Harter, of Ohio, and a number of kcal f peakers. Fretident Stokes was the first speaker. He said that ttver btfcre had the people ibown suca a general and intellectual internet ir. the discussion of economic questions. The great residential election of thin year turned upon tariff reform. The larje surplus in the Treasury had alarmed all tcuebt people. Tfce wise, prudent, practical, patriotic iuepg5 had sounded tbe r.o:ecf warmrg. Tne coal miners in IVr-nsylvscia, tue wool ruanufac urers of Nw Kof lard, the farmers in the South r.Ld Vret had cciue to doubt at least the fK1Ysnt?:s nf protection. The tariff reform club welcomed tariff reformers generally, including those who would lessen the duty en a eirple raw material, and those who would lift some tariff burdens from consumers, these who would do away with protection and those who would abolish all custom houses. Mr. J, T. Townsend, President of the Maritime Exchasgp, otfered the following: We, the n-erubers of the Ileforca Club, indorse the recent message of President Cleveland to Congress concerning taa re- ' Auction of the tariff tatation." It was unanimously adopted. MR, IT.ECKEÜEIPr.E STEAKS. Hen. W. C. P. Ereckenridce thn r ponded to the toast, "Tarid Preform." Mr. Prtcke nridpe, in opening, pa:d a tribute to Henry Watterson, who eat at his right, and paid Mr. Watterson was a leader whose follower he was. Keferricg to his own recorded stand against the abolition of the tax on tobacco, he Baid he would rather have it reduced than that no action should be taken in the matter of tantfl reform. The question of protection, he said, was one which might have a temporary triumph in the lower courts, but, when carried np to the court oi last resort, wa3 sura or a sentence of condemnation. Every provision of the present tariff was made in the interest of private parties. Everything on the schedule, it it could talt, would tell a tale cf secret lobby work for private interest. Mr. Breckenridge spoke in scathing terms of the concessions to railways, and said the public credit bad been bo handled by peculiar banking privileges bo that it was lent for private emolument. Tuia very month wool manufacturers and socalled wool-growers met to determine the wool tariff to he adopted by the Con cress of the United Etates, for their bene tit. It had never occurred to them that there were sixty million people who might he concerned in the matter. Mr. Urecfcen ridge asked how long the people would al low the wool to be over their eyes m this Eaatter. The solution of the country's shipping interests, he c'aimed, lay in tariff reform. The Reading strike he attiibuted to the bad working of the present iniquitous eys'em. Referring to the recent message of the President, the speaker said that with rare courage the President submitted to the people the issue as to which should be the system of the future. The issue had been put into concise form. The speaker closed with praiBe for President Cleveland, the rcention cf whose name was londly cheered. TBI FA KM ER AND THE TARIFF. 'The Parmer and the Tariff" wa3 the subject eseigned to Hon. Melbourne H. Ford, member of Congress from Michigan. Mr, Ford said that he was informed that this club was of recent organization. He congratulated the members upon the success of the afiair. It had a deep meaning. It signified that the Reform Club of the city of New York had come to stay. "Located as you are," said the speaker, "in the metropolis of this country the influence which you will exert on this question is to be f eater than many of you suppose, believe that no more important problem is presented to us to-day than that of the reduction of the taxation." The accumulation of late years has resulted in a colossal surplus in the treasury whichjwas something applaling.JIa 1SG0 the National taxation averaged $1 07 per capita. To-day it was over $G. It was a matter of wonder that the people submitted to this state of things. The situation has become critical. What was the meaning of the increased taxation? Did the Government need money? No, it was accumulating a surplus at the rate of one hundred million dollars a year. Nor was thhe surplus accumulated for the parpose of pay irji the country's debt. It w a so that the few manufacturers m'ght be paid a premium for earning their living. Why had the people submitted? fr on their shoulders the burden rested. It was very simple. Tney had paid the taxes indirectly and had not realized the effect it had upon them. It had come to them in the shape of increased prices of necessaries of life. Suppose the money had been collected by direct taxation? The people would never have submitted to it. There would have been a revolution in less than thirty days. The tariff advocates would never dare to change the' system to direct taxation. The reduction of taxation should be largely upon the necessaries of life. Is it cot strange that ar soon as the message for free trade came out that the - newspapers very soon called the attention of the farmers to the fact that the war tariff was the great bulwark of their prosperity, and the mails were loaded down with circulars and documents showing the great improvement to be derived from the '"'tariÄ? Thia wool tariff is the piece de reeiatance of the tariff question. They tay that the tariff must be reduced. The farmer may be saved from utter destruction by the redaction of the tariff on H wooL I doubt the sincerity ot these men from the farmers' interests. KK. WATTZBSOH'ß ß? I ECU. Mr. Watterson, in his remarks upon the aul ject, said: I rise with diffidence and trepidation. Cociehow the impression hai been conveyed to me that I am expected to stir your enthusiasm with a great array of statistical information, aid to amuse you with a facetious and florid burst of figures, not of speech, but of schedules and classification. In these lines of the rhetoric art, believe me, I am powerless. My miion U to deal with matters of fact and to tackle truth. TH FLATFOKJf. AKD THX OCT LOO ST. The platform is the message the Fred dent's message. The outlook Is most en , eouraging. Considering how the painted harlot of protection it whistling to keep er courage up as the stalks across the

graveyard of falee vows and broken prom

ises the has made mainly to the work teople I should call It assured. For more than a year my fear has been that we might cot be able in advance of our Nrtlonil Convention to close ranks and move in solid column against the enemy on dis tinct lines of our own delib rate choosing, and as I believe that rothing clears the political atmosDhere like plain speaking right out in meeting, I have given the administration and the country the best the shop has afforded in the way of disagreeable Fersistency and the smcerest candor, t was obvious to my mind that unless we ccn'd agree in Congress we should not agrte in convention. The tariff plank in the last National Democratic platform was not intended to be a straddle, because, althcuL'h the Platform Committee had teen rdroitly packt d in the interest of protection, the revenue preformers were still etioug enongh to hold their ground and to carry all their points. But it was made to seem a straddle. Hence nothi ng short of a declaration, which might not bear two constructions, would satisfy the demand of reform in the next National platform, end any one could see that this could ret be obtained without a fight, and possibly, a split. Just in the nick of time, the President rame to the rescue with the wisdom of an impetuous courage and the craft of a common sense deriving its strength from its integrity, this brave and honest man this pnzz e to the politicians and contradiction of all experience with a single stroke of his pen did wtat might for years have oarl'.ed the efiorts of the greatest statesmen and philosophers. Fy that act he has reversed the situation from one of cowardlv iLdf cisicn to cue ot enthusiasm and confi dence. He has fcrced the enemy back behind bis earthworks and warned strag glers to come irto camp. I F.INCirLK EEFORE rOLH Y. 1'ron the lines of that message I would rather be beaten than win upon those of a lying substitute. But we 6hall not be beaten. The President's words are presages of victory. They remove all obstruction frcm our march of progress and reform. They lead us out of the bushes and into the inchway. An honest Democrat may now hold up his head, look the world m the face and call his soul his own without a furtive side glance of the Republicans. I beheve in clearly denned political dif ferences, stubbornly and honestly maint&iiedUfon the open field of party combat, aod loving no man le33 because he dees not agree with me touching public policies. I detest him most who lets "I dare not'' wait noon "I would," and possesses neither the candor nor the courage of his conv'Ctiona. But a thousand purposes are ascribed by the protectionists to the party of revenue reform which never cresses the mind of any responsible levenae reformer. TheBe we may now disavow. The policy of evasion and reprf saicn is to be succeeded by a policy of fair and free discussion. It is this the Republicans have courted, and which they aL'ectio be mightily pleased with. Let us m the coming baltlegive them their belly-full of it. Let us go to the people of the East, as we have gone to the people of the West end the Bouth, with the truth. The period of agitation has pas?d. Thenks to the President, we have the ear cf the ration. The period of affirmation and construction is upon us, and itsvecal orgsns are rot thon of exclamation of practical business. When we s?ek to arrest the attention of a friend across the street we elevate the volca; when we have him face to face, we proceed in a lo wr tone to tell him why we btopped him and what we want. So is it with the movement for revenue reform. Its fiienda have for years sought by agitation to direct the interest of thinking men to the eviis of the tax system, full of ii equality end false pretension. Tay have succeeded ; and now they are prepared to apply de finite measures and methods of reform to the disorder. But these ara nowise precipitate or extreme. They contemplate no revolution. They propose at cue and the same time to reduce both taxation and revenue, and to effect this on the lines laid down so admirably by the President in his message. IBOTKCTIONIST MISREPRESENTATIONS, And how are we met In this patriotic purpose by the protectionists? With every manner of misrepresentation and jeer. Ali all alorg the Republican line the word has gore forth that we are a band of incendia ries, bent upon blowing np the customhouses and burning down the factories, and generally destroying the business ot the country. This is as if, having awakened your neighbor to tell him his house is on lire, he should denounce you for a burglar and call the police. Every day we are assured that the President does not know his own mind, that the message means nothing at all, that it was thrown out merely as a "feeler," and that there 'is something back of it which will f reeently appear and surprise everybody, n short, all the devices of ingenious perversion are put forth. to confuse our counsels and mislead voters, and I wish I could say these devices arejemployed only by professed enemies. Unfortunately there are these who, masquerading as Democrats, make it the business of their lives to play into the hands of the enemy. They are Protectionists first. Democrats afterwards. In the end when the process of the redistribution and readjustment of party forces cow goingHforward, is completed, the; will find a final and fitting abode, where they properly belong, in the castle of those robber barons, whose men-at-arms are at this momentoutin every direction collecting through the tariff, tribute of the people. Then indeed, shall we know who is who and what is what, and the star eyed goddess cf reform shall carry in thi circlet of truth which gracesher fair young brow no false jewels to dim its ustre. Meanwhile, my friends, we have nothing to fear in the immediate future. That is full of most f-eniaJ, most gratifying assurances. The party of reform in Congress will be found to unite upon a measure of reform m harmony with the President's message. Wait a little and you shall see how they carry themselves upon the floor of the Honse. under the leadership of Carlisle and Mills, and if my brilliant and eloquent friend, the latest successor of Henry Clay, who, if he were now livlrg, would scorn to break the promise he repeatedly made to the people that protection should not outlast the maturity of "infants" now fifty to one hundred years of age. With our host at Washington It shall be as it was with the Irish at Fontecoy : 1 Steady they marsh adown the slope, steady they mount the hill, steady they load, steady they lire moving right onward still" and onward and onward, until all the mud-works of fraud are carried, and every job is fired out of its lurking place, and that abomination of all abominations the high protective tariff, limited by the constitution exclusively to public purposes and proclaimed by its authors a temporary war expedient, la reduced to a revenue basis and the needs of honest government economically administered. OHIO AHD THE TARIF. Hon. M. D. Harten, General Manager of the Mansfield Manufacturing Industry, responded to "Ohio and the Tariff." He said that the Ohio idea was to limit taxation to smallest possible proportions. Ohio had cot yet (alien so low that she subscribed to the doctrine that she could become rich by taxing herself. If the people of Ohio could express their ideaa at the ballot box, a surprising vote would be cast for moderate tariff reduction. Local speakers followed until a late hour. Mal Apropos. Judge.

BREATHING EASIER-

Wir in Caatril Earcps Ealifcvsl to bi Postpone Until Scanner tt L;ut. Gernncy Kiiirg Nj Attempt to lucre?.:- Her F crtea en the Frontier. Seme D.mtiahction Fait &t Count Cilnoly's Dilatory Caws. Tbe Socialist Laws In the Reichstag Considerable Opposition Manifest The Crown Ftince Motes, Berlin, January 21. Copyright, 18S3, by the New York Associated Press. Since the official organ of the German army, the Militär Wochenblatt, gave its luminous comparison of the strength of the frontier forces of Germany and Russia. The discission cs the situation has elicited nothing more definite than the semi-official statement in several papers to-day that despite the arrival of additional Russian troops on the frontier, the German Government for the present will cot order the countermovement necessary to equalize the strength of the two forces. This is one cf the several indications that the Government believes war has been delayed. The reports reaching the War Office touchirg the breaking down of the Russian transport rorvice, the waste of munitions, the defective commissary, and the starvation and disease in the Russian army, enable the announcement to be made that Germany maintains a waiting attitude. On the Russian side the discovery that it would be impossible to open effectively an early campaign has caused the war party to modify its toae. The Moscow Gazette yesterday indicated the pacific poiicy of Russia. It declared that peace was assured unless Russia should be provoked by aggressive acts of her neighbors. The Nuvoe Vremya protests that the Russian armaments are purely defensive. The Sve t disputes the Wochenblatts figures, at d tries to prove that Germany can concentrate a million men on the frontier of Poland within ten days, while Russia's huge areas of territory and imperfect niear a i f transportation render difficult the work of mabiliz&tion. The postponement of tbe rupture is not in accordance with the strategy of tbe Berlin war cflice cor with the wishes cf the Viennese, but continufs due to the irresolution cf the Austrian government. Although convinced thBt war is inevitable, and that it would be preferable for Austria sooner than Jäter, Count Kalnoky persists in waitinff Rustia'e time. Public sentiment in Vienna and Pesth displays irritation over the rosition. The Hungarian parerB charge Kalnoky with toogreai suleeiv'e nte to B'smcrck, and urge thst action be taken without waiting for an order from Berlin. The truth cf the position, how ever, is that Prince utemarcs: naj aireaay fully informed Count Kalnoky of the fact that German initiative to war is impossible, leaving the Anstriau government free to open hostilities when it deems the time ripe. TKE MOVEMENTS ON THE GALICIAN FRONTIER. Another version is semi officially iued in lenna to-mgnt oi the itussian military attache Zojeff'e recent statement that two new divisions or Russian troops hd ar rived at the Galician frontier. The first version of this statement, which ws a!?o semi-oifccialJy given, was dii-ttnctlv menacing. It it now stated that M. ZojMT, while conversing with Austrian otlicials, only stated tb.t a displacement of divisions would be effected gradually in fie course of the present year. Ha further expressed the hope that no advance would be made, as such a movement would be weakening to Russia's defensive position, and would compel her to take larger measures. This interpretation is obviously issued to allay the impatience of the military and political circles of Austria-Hungary, where Count Kalnoky is becoming distrusted, and plans are maturing to substitute a more energetic minister. Count Andrassy will supplant Kalnoky ere long it a powerful section of active politicians succeed in their plans. The Folish group in Vienna rely on Count Andrsssy to assist in the rivival of a Polieh kiugdom, consisting of Russian and Austrian Poland, under an Austrian Prince. The expectancy of the Poles rapidly ircreases. Their organs in Cracow and Lemberg, while preaching prudence, declare that tbe people of Poland will go solid for Austria if assured of some form cf restored independence. Bishop Dunajenska, of Cracow, who is recognized by the Poles as their ecclesiastical leader, has been entreated to assist in the development of a national movement by making a public declaration, but he responds, advising the greatest reserve until events justisy action. ANTI SOCIALIST LAWS. Since tbe new anti-Socialist project was pieced before the Reichstag, the opposition has waxed etrorg from all parties, except tbe Conservative groups. The National Licerals seem to be tending toward a decision to reject the measure, unless it ia greatly mooified. The seventy new penalties revoltjthe Nat:onaILiberals,who were prepared to concede a partial prolongation of the present law. The National Liberal press joins that of the Progressist in demanding to know on what j principle the new law can punish Germans who take part in Socialist meetings outside the empire. Another mistake in the bill is the banishment proposal, which is shown to be contrary to the constitution. For instance, it could cot be enforced in Bavaria, where the constitution assures the absolute right of all subjects to sojourn within tbe district in which they were born. The Reichstag's edict of expulsion would only operate In Bavaria under a special vote of a majority of twothirds of the Munich Parliament. The want of uniformity in tbe operation ot the banishing clause would be fatal to its maintenance. Tbe National Liberal criticism of the project has become so bitter that the organs of that party assail the general spirit of the measure. It la contended that despite the law the Socialist party grows. Tbe Government is reminded of the failure of all its efforts to arrest an intellectual movement by police lairs, and a lessening of repressive measures is demanded as the wiser policy to control the Socialists. The National Liberals blame Minister Von Puttkamer aa being responsible for the Imprudent features of the measures, and may seize the occasion to try to get him replaced by Herr Von Benningsen or some old leader in sympathy with their party. Tbe result of the discontent among this important group will be that the obnoxious proposals will be abandoned, and the period of operations of the present law prolonged only two years. The Ta't aaserta;that both Bavaria and Wurtemburg opposed in the Bucdesralh tbe expulson clause. The progressives have Introduced in the Reichstag a project for the trial by jury of offenders against the press law. Herren Traeger ana Barth urged the necessity, in view of the repressive powers of the pro posed new socialist law, surrounding with further guarantees the liberty of express ing public opinion. Tbe bill will will be re ferred to a commttteo. The police of Berlin have dispersed sev era! meetings held to discuss the Social tat bills. More latitude Is allowed outside of Prussia in discuAing the measure. Herr Grillenberg, speaking at Nur em

berg, declared that banishment would not be successful. He said: "You may expatriate penon,'.tut you cannot expatriate a cause. Each banished Socialist will be replaced by several friends. Puttkamer and Bismarck will cot live forever. If.the basenees of cowards should lead to party coalitions sufficient to pass the measure, courage and persistent endurance united on the side of progress will finally triumph." Herr Bebel and others freely denounced the measure at reunions ia Sirony. Since the arrest of Haupt and Schroeder, the alleged spies at Zurich, the Government at Berlin has sent a noto to the authorities at Berne suggesting a closer supervision of the Acarcbists taking refuge near the frontier. The Zarich Socialists assert that Haupt's exposure has led to a cessation of spying on the part of several

suspected German agents, who have disappeared. It is difficult to see what practical good will result from the Berlin note, as the Swiss Government is already exercising its full powers of watching under the legal limits. MINOR MATTERS. Emperor William drove out yesterday for the first time in a fortnight. H9 looked well. At the reception given to the President ot the Landtag the Emperor talked freely and cheerfully, bat avoided alluding to the political situation. The abandonment of the Senior, Bills aad other carnival festivities dulls the whole Eesson. Private receptions are out of the mode, only tbe public fetes being maintained. The annual ball in aid of charity, the artists' ball and the dramatic and press balls will be given as usual, The Crown Trince, in letters to friends, says he is hopeful of returning to Berlin early in the summer.

In the Cora Lee trial to-d y tllort was directed mainly to tracirg Graham tnd wife after arriving in SpriEgtield. Much of tbe tf-a:I-ruony was the same as was brought out at tbe first trial, with which the public is familiar. George M. Snwyer, register cf the United States Lard Office cf this place, was the first witness called. He wss present when the body wai found in tbe well. He talked to Cora about the boiy, and she said she did not believe it was Sanh Graham; thought Led Breeze had brought a bedy from St. Louis tnd put ia the well. Question "Was any inducement held out by you to induce defendant to make such statement?" Objected to and raled out, but before this cculd be done witness had answered "No," whereupon thj defendant sprang to her feet and, with tears ia her ey es, said : "Mr. 8awyer did not you" Here she was checked by her attorneys. Witress was there as representative of the Herald, of which he was editor. Mrs. riurab, wife of the Rev. J- C. riumb, of this city, was then called. First saw Cora Lee at her (Mrs. Plumb's) house, where she remaind several days. Graham came there several times each day while Cora was there. Witness went to the room once dnring the time and saw Graham, Cora and Mrs. Molloy in bed together. Mrs. Molloy said George was tired, had lain down to rest. They had bed-covers over them. It was early in the morning. Mrs. Molloy was holding a protracted meeting in the city at the time. Rev. J. C. Plumb, minister of the First Cotpref ationpl church, testified that he bad married Graham and ora. He had been greatly annoyed by Graham's intimacy with Cora while they were stopping at his house before the marriega. Several witnesses pave rather vague evidence about seeing a weman drive out toward the farm and back late at night about the time Graham's wife was murdered. Some witnesses said it wss raining, while one declared that the moon was shining brightly. About a dozen more witnesses were called this evening, but they failed to bring forward any new facts.

After an hour pleasantly spent in the personal enjoyment of each other, and when the laughter baa suosiaca mat roilowed a story by the President, I thought it would be a good time to mention a little matter in which. I felt interested, as soon aa I began the recital I could see the procpis of congelation, and before I had half finished my story the President was a mon umental icicle.

PARK'S MODEL TAKEN

The Htsdricki Hoaumeat Committee Adapts tbe Detign cf tie Italian Ssnlptor. Tel ma of tbe Contract tobe Settled To-mor-row in Order that Work May Beiu at Once. The Executive Committee of the Hendricks Monumental Association met in Judge Rand's oüice. at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon, to adopt a design for the proposed monument. Judge N. B. Taylor was elected a member of the committee to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Hon. Oscar B. Hord, and the following was unanimously adopted : The death of Oscar B. Hord deprives the Headricks Memorial Association ana Its Executive Committee ot one of their most zealous aal tfiicient members. He wis a man of cultivate I taste and the most excellent judgment, and in tfccdeliberations of the Executive Committee his advice and sutestions were always pertinent and valuable. Ilia general culture and genial manners, and the spirit of fairness and oonrtesy which characterized his acts and words, made intercourse with hin; agreeable as well as helpful, and imparted to tt the sentiment ot pen-ocal friendship. In his death the Ilcrdricks Memorial association and its Executive Committee have sustained a loss which will be seriously felt in the promotion of their purposes, and cannot ehslly be repaired, and each member of the Executive Committee has lo&t a friend as well as an able coadjutor. All of the members of the committee were present c-xcep t Hen. John A, Holman, who 13 ia California. The following named gentlemen constitute the committee: JuCgo Rind, United States Marshal Hawkins, Hon. 8. P. Sfceerin, Hon. J. H. Rice, Judge E. B. Martindale, Noble C. Butler, F. M. ChurchrraD, Colonel Charles A. Zollinger, General T. A. Morris. Judge N. B. Taylor and F. W. Chislett. The designs undr consideration were thof e presented by Alex Doyle, of New York, August Mundenhenk, of Cincinnati, and R. H. Park, of Florence, Italy. Messrs. Park end Mundenhenk took plaster of paiis casts from the face of Mr. Hendricks before the burial. Mr. Doyle's model was taken from a picture, but all the designs were well executed. After considerable discussion with reference to the merits ot the three model?, a motion wss mad9 to accept the design ol Mr. Fark. An amendment was ofiered substituting the design of Mr. Mund?nhenk. The latter proposition received but two votfs, and ilr. Pari 8 oesign was then unanimously adopted under certain conditions, one of which wes thst he thould make same charges in the faciei expression of the statue. Some ot the committee thought that Mr. Park's model did not bear a striking resemblance to the deceased, but all agreed iu the opinion that, es a work of art, the general design msda by Mr. Park was far superior to either of the otters. Sd one of the members last night: "None of the ten other models presented could in any way compare in artiatical design antt hnih to Mr. Park s. The monument, according to the model adopted, will, when completed, ba thirtytwo feet in height, lte peues;ai win De eighteen feet high, with three minor bases. Oo the npper bas9 will rest a columned dye, which will be surmounted by a colnm ornamented wita bronz3 de signs and on which will rest the statute. The monument will be so buili so that at any time from one to four allegori:il figures mav be a ided. A sub-committee, consisting of Messrs. Rand, Morris ar.d Chlslett was se.ected to meet Mr. Park to-morow end agree upon plans, terms and contract. The monument is not to cost lesss than $15.000, and in all probability $2:,000 will be ex pended before it is complete. It is under stood that it will be delivered in time to be unveiled on July 4, 1800. Mr. R. H. Park, the succofssnl competit or for the contract, has been a cniseler of marble nearly ail or his life. He was born in Hebron, Connecticut, in 1S31, and when but a mere boy he began his career as a marble cutter. At the age of "i ne entered a sculptor's studio in Albany, N. Y.where he remained for seven ears. He tnea opened a siuaio in xtew York City where he staid until 1SC3 when he removed to Florence, Italy, where he has since resided.
