Tho crop an J fruit killer come annually to Indiana with the precision of tho planets or the regularity of the train ou schedule time. This year is no exception. The usual danger signals were hoistel immediately after the cold snap of lasl week, and wc must confess that, with a desire to hucj the lire-place and don the ea-t-oif overcoat, came a Lar that Jack Frost hal broken his Indiana record and accomplished more than usual mischief. Prompt answers, however, from Se.vtixel correspondents, in response to our inquiries, enahle us to place before our readers this morning reliable 'information rejrardins tho condition of the various crops of the ftate. Contrary to general expectation, the recent cold and fro?t did no very great amount of damage. The general poor condition of wheat reported is the result of various causes that obtained during the fall and vinter months. The corn acreage is unusually largo in almost every county and the planting concluded, except in northern counties. That already up - r . 1 J!i! 1 . 1 L

Xo ma- " terial d.im3ge to fruits wa effected with the exception of grat, w hich have Ven killed outright in numerous localities. There is nothing discouraging in the present outltvik, oxcept as regards wheat, and this, with recent copious rains and the warm weather which must surely come ia the verv near future, may after all put forth a generous and surprising harvest. A Demoralized Party. The republican party of Indiana has not jt-een so badly demoralized in many years 'as at present. Th high-handed outrages perpetrated by the Slick Six in their efforts to stifle the Grehani sentiment have produced intense indignation among republicans all over tho suite, which is finding vigorous expression in the leading orj.'a.ns of their party. The recent ' t'.eieat of Gen. Shackleford for delegate at laro to the national convention has exasperated his friends beyond measure, and they are threatening dire revenge on Cark, Micitexer, Kekcjieval r.nd the other ''fine vorkers" who re held responsible for this result. Tho Evansv ill? Jounul, which, in point of ability, character and infiuence is p.t the head of republican journalism ia Indiana, uses very strong language in speaking of the Harrison man.ig.TS and the scurvy tricks which thev have played in their leader's interest. In a recent issue it says : What the republican pfrty in Indiana needs Is a re-organisation of the state central comtr.inee and a new leadership. Cap.?., MlClIEXER and Geiffix ought io he beaten for re-nomination. New raen oti2ht to be put en the tute ticket. Even La FOIXETTE, the (superintendent of public instruction fin olSce that ought to be non-political Las been meddling in other districts than his own. Together with Sam KeuCHEVAL, the representative of border rutüan politic?, they have soucht to "set things up" in the First district. Frightened at the harm they have wrought, they graciously tell the First district. 'Vlect your cai-di late hi Cant. Le.MCKE'S place and he ska!! he nominated." Ah, indeed! Who made them supreme arbiters? Who conferred on them the prerogative that belongs to the delegates of the republican of tire whole scir ? They row her for peace nnd harmony, und hiningly plead. f hat Indiana mcv defeat the oatioral tk'ket. 'ind Vanderburgh county may iura Indiana ever to the enemj-.

CanmhanV "Vindication. Tlx Jjvrnil -averts that the dismiss! of Carnahan indictment is a complete j vicdir-tbn cf Caknujav. Well, people I roint of vie w. .

It v.as the duty of the district attorney to nolle the cae r9 foon he hemme satisfied of Carnaha:,s inno-ence. All the information upon which his action of Tue day was based must havo been, or hould have lecn, iu bis possession months igo. For what purpose, wc f hould liko to know, has Le allowed the. Indictment to hang over Car.vmaüj all tbere inonth? And why did Carxaiian never demand to re placed cn trial? Mt men falsely nettled of crime would prefer .indication '.n another form than that in which it has come to Causam av. lint admitting that ho is vindicated, what about th real antbor of the circular? Why have they never bc-cn indicted? Why has the Ccmui'itt(,e of One Hundred not Insisted upon their pronet titton ? A k'ti '.iedcf'.'ort lias Wf.n maln by the Jnurnaand the A'tf to make it appear that the circular . was an innocent document, ttjid that Its iMiance s at most only a 'et bnirtl violation of tho lav.. Hut it was notoriously inpired by members of the corrupt Mick Six, and its improper moti ve was palpable on its fate. The Journal ftays "then? is not an lioact bnvyi r or an intelligent man in tho city who ever believed that it contemplated anything nrong." How any honest lawyer or intelligent man who knew the Source from which the circular emanated could believe, anything tire, passen comprehension. Tbr circular was undoubtedly intended to pavt; tb way for an election fraud. If t democrat had in d it he would have been derctly denounced by the Journal &nd Vfiit; the Coiiiuiillcg of Uue lluuditd

would have insisted upon his prosecution, and every expedient would have been exhausted to secure his punishment. It inay not be always thus. A Strong Team. The democratic state central committee met Thursday to select a successor to its late chairman, the lamented Jorix R. Gor.dox. The choice fell upon tho Hon. Citarle3 h. Jewett of Floyd county. Mr. Jewett is one of the brainiest democrats in the state, is thoroughly familiar with its politics, has a wide acquaintance, is a splendid orcranizer, ami is in every way admirably qualified for the difficult and responsible duties which have been devolved upon him. He will have the invaluable co-operation of Mr.S. P. Sheekix, who was chor.cn as vice-chairman, and whose peculiar ritness for executive work is universally recojr-

i nized throughout the state. Jewett and Siteerix will inaku a strong team. Their selection gives asMi ranee of a thorough organization of the party, and an aggressive and winning campaign. The meeting of the committee brought together a number of working democrats from all parts of the state. Their reports of the situation in their respective localities were uniformly encouraging. The democratic party is in splendid form all over thctate. It is united, harmonious, enthusiastic and confident of a sweeping victory next November. It is solid for Cleveland, and a unit for tariff reform. The state ticket is entirely acceptable everywhere. Altogether the democratic prospects in Indians are as flattering as could be desired. The Duty on Timber. One of the wisest and most salutary features of the Mills tariff bill is the clause putting timber n.el in building, in ships and in wagoa-inaking, on the free list. The protective duty on timber is an anomaly. It is a burden ou the whole people. It increases the co?.t of houses, fence?, wagons, ships, and ten thousand viore prime necessities. It puts a premium on the destruction of American forests, an evil which has already attained alarming dimensions. It benefits only a handful of wealthy men. It does not in-crea.-e the rewards of labor of any class. The great lumber barons of Michigan and Wisconsin are among the wealthiest men in the United States. The labor they employ is shamefully ill-paid. Tho removal of the timber duty will cheapen shelter. If houses can be builded for less money than now, rents will be lower. Free timber will save, the builders of vessels and of houses many millions of dollars every year, more than $1,00)0,000 on imported timber, and many times that amount on the domestic product. It will hurt nobody except a few lumber kings, who have fattened upor the tribute which an iniquitous law has enabled them to levy upon the people. Why should any man in Indiana, democrat or republican, oppose the abolition of a tax so unjust and onerous? A Short Sermon on Protection. The rieh can gratify their tate and dej sires in tho markets of the world re gardless of high tariff protection. Bat the toiler's market is the home market, in which cotton good? have already excluded pure linen manufactures and out of which jute, shoddy and other chesp 5ubstitutcs are now rapidly driving '"protected" woolen fabrics, both domestic and foreign. Wool growers and manufacturers should open their eye to this fact, or elso they will discover when to late to overthrow the stork king their high:tariff god has thrown down to them, that jute has superceded wool, and that it is only ''shoddy'' oods which really obtain tho benefits of a "protected hmc market."' "When It's 1'lcanaiit to te a Republican. r.Ai:i;ows, the republican charged with repeating, was .acquitted Friday in Jiulk-fl M'oois' court. The result occasions no surprise. Dakhows had a corps of n1io republican lawyers to defend him; had plenty of republican money to pay them with: didn't have tho Committee of ! One Hundred to ficht. The district attorney had no assistance in the prosecution. ! And the elurge to the jury w.is eminently j "judiciaV'fbthat is to pay, it was not tho , sort of a charge .Tu'le Woods has beea known to make in similar cases. Well, it's a nice thing to be a republican or a relative of the court when one is indicted by the federal grand, jury for the district of Indiana. A sriwniBKii at l'.Mettville. Ind., asks The Pentinel to explain whnt is meant by the term "watered stock." It means stock or rlnrt s in a corporation which do not represent tangible property or an actual investment of money. Tbu, if a manufarturinj company wcra organized, nnd $100,000 invested in a plant while 200,000 in ftock v. ere iucd, tho stork would be one-hilf "water." A Litre proportion of the stock r,f iiinat rnilroad, telcprroph, oil, telephone, gr., rlcrtric-lighf, mining and other corporations is "water," and it Is the desire to earn dividend. upon this "water," which does not rtand for Actual property and represents no investment, that induces these corporations to practice extortion upon the people. Many institutions which earn only 5 or fi per cent, upon their stock at its face value are realizing profits of 20, .7, 40 or oOper cent, on their bona fi le capital. Ti'K .ci:Ttvt!, is in favor of honest election, snd tor tho punishment of all who commit election frauds, whether they aro dop'ocrats or republicans. Tho Journal believes that no one but democrats ought to be proccuted for such offences. It has never in all its history demanded tho prosecution of a republican ballot-Mx stuffcr or repeater or tally-sheet forger. It never denounced u republican election fraud. It never condemned republican bribery at the poll. It has always upheld tho nemdalous practices of the. Slick Six. Talk of "wbited sepulcbers" the Jourruil is a frescoed harnel boix. Tue Harrison managers have made a good many mistake, hut they didn't make one vhen they selected KuitAnn W. TnoMr.-oN- indead of At.r.r.nT (i. ToitTnt to present Mr. HARRisoN'snameat Chicago.

TflE GREAT TARIFF DEBATE,

POWERFUL ARGUMENT FOR REFORM. The EJoqnent Breckinridge of Krntarky Ilandles the Itroteetfonlsts Without Gloves An Eloqnent Speech Received With 3Iarh Applause. Mr. Breckinridge began bis speech with a review of the situation so far as the surplus in the treasury is concerned and with a statement of the dangers attendant on the further accumulation of a surplus ia the treasury. He thu went on to say that when the committee on ways and means was announced Jan. ,", it necessarily had to confront this comlition of r fla in and attempt to frame a bill which would so reduce the revenues of the government as to bring its legitimate expenses and its revenues close together; thU, too, in such a way as to reluce the burden of taxation upon the people. It recojrnizcd that the revenues could be reduced by raisin; the duties to a prohibitory standard, but this only increased the burdens of taxation. The repeal of the entire internal revenue law would al'o reduce the revenue to a point where there might he au annual deficit ot ?JO,000,xx, but this deficit could not work barm for the present as the surplus remaining on June 00, lss, would be sufficient to coniply with the requirements of the sinking fund until lS'Jl, when the 4' js Tall due. JJut no large section of the American people really favored a plan which removed taxation from spirits, beer and tobacco and left the necessaries of fife burdened. Rejecting, therefore, the proposition to increase the duties for the purpose of reducing the revenues ot the government and increasing the revenues of the manutacturers, and the proposition to repeal the internal revenue ?ytenj, the committee attempted to frame a bill which would reduce the revenues by a safe amount, and would relieve, as far as a moderate bill could do, the evils of the present unequal systt-m ; reform the inequalities of the present tarilt', and promote American industries by giving to American labor the hope of a permanent, stähle and profitable market. "N one caa appreciate more than we that the bill reported by us docs not answer all the conditions cf to-day; that the relief which ought to be given lias not been granted to the extent which the condition of the couutry and of labor required." Itcferring to the criticisms of Mr. Burrows (Mich.) upon the committee on wavs and means, and its manner of framing the hill under discussion, when he stated that in his criti cirrus he was violating no secrets of the committee room, Mr. Lreckinridge denied absolutely the charge that ihe bill was not formed by the committee. He went on to state that every - item underwent the scrutiny of every member of the majority of the committee and said: ''It does not pretend to change a system. It leaves the average rates of duty higher than they were under the Morrill tariff and it is a protective tariff bill. The committee did not believe that it wns its duty to do more than to propose a moderate reduction of taxation by increasing the free list, reducing certain rates, and removing, as far as practicable, unnecessary restrictionsand to make an etlort to render the administration of the law more efficient, to the protection of honest importers and the detection and prevention of fraud. Vv'c do not pretend that it is a scientific measure. The present law is very highly protective iu some instances prohiiitory. lie who believes that protection ought to be the. main object and revenue only incidental, may mid it to his interes: to accept so moderate an oiler as is now made; he who thinks that in raising the revenues such incidental protection ouirlit to be given as is practicable, willtind in the provisions of this proposition, when he examines them carefully, that his support of this measure would be consistent with his opinions, M hile men of my views, content with trying to accomplish what is practicable and patiently watching this fair experiment of reducing taxation and increasing the free list by putting thereon raw material.accept this practical bill and give our support. It is believed that this bill will enable the home manufacturer of wool and other textile fabrics to so compete with his foreign competitor as to supply the home market with much of what is now supplied by importation, and that this will continue until foreign goods of certain characters will be entirely driven from the American market. The changes proposed by this bill are designed to give to the firmer, by whom all provisions aro r.iised, a market for his breadstuti's and for raw material, which is only profitable when he has a prosperous manufacturer for a purchaser; to the laborer, the hope of a constant market; and to the manufacturer freedom from unnecessary burdens. We have, therefore, put upon the free list as far as we felt it was ju.-t, the materials necessary for the manufacturer. We have reduced the rates, wherever we have touched thru, to a point that gives to the home consumer the hope of fair competition whenever a demand may be made by au internal trust to advance the prices beyond a fair consideration for the article to be sold, and yet we have left the rates so that the protection a Horded is trrenter thiui any necessity and makes all competition oi torcisrn manufactures upon terms et grout advantage to the American manufiio tunr." deterring to the internal revenue system bo said that it Ii dtUnniucd, in rcjonse to what seemed "to be the Fcntiinent of a largo pnrt of the country, to propose the repeal of taxes on manufactured tobacco. Th? belief was that to exempt fruit brnudie und nicohol uhciI in the arts was indirectly and hypocritically, but rtlectually to debtrov the internal revenue system; and if thij is to be done it w:u preferred" to do it or have it done openly, nnd thus fix I tie responsibility of it upon those who acconipli.-bed it. Those v ho vole to exempt alcohol thus used will do so with the knowledge that, it is a vote to destroy the lax on distilled (.pirif. 'TV bill h before congress; the rcsponsibib ity of its preparation is upou us; the rcfponsi bility of h'cidutinu is upon you. No sneers n to its authors; no charges however ofl'eusive or discourteous us to the manner of its preparation; no abuse of those who were concerned in Us preparation cn remove from you til's re-sponr-ihility of action or chnnire the it.-oie made by the bill itself. The Mirplus continues to grow; the e vil riled oi it ntc daily exhibited; the Schemen without numter to squander the public money, to distribute it among the states. Id cultivate a habit in the American People of looking to Wellington as a great alms-giver can be defeated only by your action as Io this bill. Neither jour own conscience, nor tho eou.itry ill acquit you if you shirk the responsibility ami evade the isuc under such an excuse. Nor will it be accepted n.iany answer ilu.t there was any provision of any irrt in4ttc Confederate constitution, or that the trcnUeincn engaged in the preparation of this bill were on one sidn or tic othi r dido iliirinj tfi.'lt prent strife, or that certain Mutes have lagged behind in the progress of natural growth. "It has Ih-ctt reported that in ome fnvuge tribes, out of the bones of the dead, implement of various sorts were made; but in this debate it has occurred to gentlemen so eminent ai to be distinguished rrpresentativej of tho people to deliberately di up th bone of the heroes of the great war, and out of them make dir e, and loaded dice at that, to play in this panic of politics. In mich a game, even with such dice, the rentlemon using them may rest assured they will lose. Tho American people are in no humor cither to witness or approve such proceedings. 'I express the confident belief that the dny has goim by when either tho passions of the wur, denudation of the whbky riny, abuse of the South, identification of revenue reformen with the Confederate army, or any other of iho skillful art i which those interested in the maintenanre of this syMcm have heretofore so sue cesiilly used can prevent some action, which will be the beginning of a system which is based o.i the great principle that all tnrin legislation should be for the publio good ami not for private interest, lint I venture to sliirni that the gallant federal ddicr who, urged only by a fense. of duty, in lim of great peril risked bis lite in retrieving the disasicr impending at Miiloh, will hardly be satisfied, when be asks for cheaper cbthint: and t hcaper lumber, to bo told that he lud fought at Miiloh to settle the question that tho Mastern manufacturer had the right to compel the Western consumer to pay, such duties as bis grrid denanded; and that any effort to cheapen the necessities of life by removin:' then from the present exactions would be held to be recognition of the Confederate eorislitutioii and the wisdom of that secession. II day hu passed whm under ihe obi tl.ig, Hid in the nnrne of loyalty, the sweat of t ho farmer and the laborer, coined into hard mc ney, can be taken without consideration under the pretense of tfl rift protection to Amer icuu labor. "A protective tariff does not," he argued, "and tu the nature of the ease cannot, fix tlm wages of labor. The laborf like all commodities, will, under the operation of the law of supply Biid demand, command its wonb in tho mullet wli'ie ft is for rale; and all that legislatk'U cay vusiUjr accomplish is toiuu-ifcre

.with the natural operation of the law, and so far as it docs this only harm can ensue. If there is demand for labor equal to or greater .than the stipplyf then labor is profitably paid; and if combinations of capital to force labor to sell itse'f at prices fixed by the combinations ennnot be successfully formed, then labor will be free to make its own bargains. lnt if the market be so restricted that the supply of labor exceeds the demand, or if capital is enabled to combine to prevent competition, then labor must . be sold at the priee fixed by the employer. "Xow our present system does both it restricts the market to be supplied by our labor, and it ensblcs the manufacturers to fix the price they will pay to labor. Whenever the dnty is high enough to prevent foreign competition, then the operative making and the consumer purchasing these protected fabrics arc in the power of the manufacturers. No organization of labor, . no Knights of Labor, can break such .haekles; the strikes give only assistance to the trusts who own the market. The only relief is in congress by the reduction of duty to the competitive point. SVe are ia morals the partner of every combination rendered possible bythetarifi: Whoever desires to dissolve his partnership will support this bill; and per contra, those who wish the trusts to continue will oppose any amendment of revision of tiie present tariff law. which could endanger their perpetnation. It is a contest between the revenue reform and the tariff trust party." Turning to a consideration of the bill be said: '"The bill now reported is incomplete in that it does not remove all burdens. The whole extent to which it does relieve by putting upon the free lit the raw articles which are on the dutiable list is $-J-J,(mO,eK!). It does, however, reduce the burdens as to M7, of duties so far as the committee felt it could do at present, for some of these articles which are imported and are put under the classification I have indicated come iuto competition with articles manufactured in America. And the committee has left duties, in some cases, unaltered and some altered, as in their best judgment the interests of each individual case required, giving the doubt to the industry w hich claimed that it could not survive unless duty was left. "The principal items put npon ihe free list have been wool and tinned plate, and the real issue lwwcen us and our opponents cannot be better illustrated than by the different propositions coucemin duty on tinned plates. Xot one pound of this is made in America; not one pound of it can be used except in helping some other industry; it enters into many of the most important of our native industries. Our fruits, our fish, our vegetables, our meats, our milk, are canned in these tinned plates; it enters into the domestic economy of every housewife. There it hardly any material of which the distribution is to wide nad the use so various and the burden imposed by the tax levied on it so heavy. It will relieve in more ways, and to a greater extent, more of the minor industries of the country than almost any repeal of tax. upon our whole schedule. Its repeal does not injure a single human being; itaflocts no interest, no industry." Posing to a consideration of the w ool schedule, he referred to the meeting of the woolgrowers association and the wod manufacturers' association, und to the resolutions adopted by i hem. Their idea of a ways and means committee was one, he said, composed of gentlemen who represented such associations, which belief seems to be shared by representatives on this lloor, whose indignation at the spectacle of a committee framed to represent the tax-payers and the consumers, struggles with the proprieties of life to find utterance. Yet the same fierce charge was made in the Forty-eighth and Fortvn in th congresses. ,4This Kentucky speaker 6eems to be possessed with the alturd idea that the people who pay taxes and purchase goods, who raise w heat and cotton, who live on farms and till the soil, really ought to have some voice in lcgislatiou concerning the weicrht of the burden of taxation which they are to bear, and some reprekentation on the committee whose duty it is to report bills for raising levenue. The idea may be absurd, but, geutleincn, it is growing in popularity and w e are ready to join issue with you in your clamorous plea that the tariff must not be revised except by the friends of the industries protected by it, and I assert that it must be revised by the representatives of all the people who are taxed by it. I do not hesitate to declare that the schedule agreed unou at that meeting is simply iniquitous. It will be borne in mintj that we raise in America about l'i,0e),eXU pounds of wool; that it requires inorc , thau 600,uc),ooo pounds for ' the ' use to . which it is put in our conntry under our climate. I'y reason of climatic influences, over which congress has no control, the hair necessary to be used in certain manufactories can' be grown only outside of our territory; aud also certain wools not froductd in America, are absolutely needed to e mixed with our wools to produce the fabrics required. Therefore, to utilize the i.'ii.",(Xi,KK) pounds of American wool and to produce tho amount of wool and foods absolutely necessary, there must be imported, either in its raw state or in its manufactured state, over .Te,0X,( 0') pounds of wool. The duty on 'wool has, by the experience of the lnt" twenty-seven years, been demonstrated not to be of advantage to the wool grower, because it has not given to him a constant profitable nnd permanent market. The manufaeturcr has had apparently the largest protection and the hardest struggle for existence. lie La had to produce his tiod.s at so lare a cost of production that he has been constantly on ibo voire of beimr tumble to Iipne of those goods at a price which rendered their iii.inuiaeinrc remunerative. Jle has had to compete with foreign nianufarturers ho bad an absolutely untaxed material, in 1 he tie of which, by the ucry iicr cssity of the a.-e, selection of dirtercut sor'.s of wool was necessary. No duty cotiM be. made so lii;,'h ns to pay thu American farmer for raising the sheep who.se wools arc neccssarr to be mixed with our wools, and no law could relieve the manufacturers from the necessity of using those wools. It hu been a hopeless fight against the. element. "Tho clamor fl.'iast free wool which has frightened some is absolutely without justification. The proportion that the wool interest bears to the agricultural interests of America is so small and the difference, even it" nil our opponents say could be true, between its vnbie now and its value under free wool is so inappreciable when compared to tho aggregate of the vast wealth of America and of all tho investments which the fnrmer holds, that the chmor for its protection demonstrates what skillful organization can do, bucked wiih the ncgn spiveness oi' private gain nnd urged with conscientious lidefiiv. It this bill goes into operation one pf iu beneficent ietilts and not tin least will be the cniariclp.uioii of American politics from the domination of the so-failed wool growers rnd the freedom of the wool growers and the freedom of the representatives of the people from the control of those J ho profess to speak in the name of the million ork musters." licuftintf the protective system besnid: "IneqiiBl distriloition of the w ondrua wealth allien ihifil'CTn 'ruilticn! by Amerinin toiler and accumulated by American economy has given to certain individuals fortunes srrentcr than th! world ha cremeen under any other sky or any other 3tem. The law ot primogeniture, operating through the centuries, towether with Ihe growth of wchIiIi in tirest Ilritain, lis not been nhlf to give to any human bdng such a fortune as (ho protective tnrilt of America bus crmbled a fw gr ntlemen to secure within a score of rear. Colossal fortunes, msde s if in a day, bear testimony to the vieioiitncM of a eytriii which enablcn so lew men to absorb the surplus accumulations of n nation, and that, too, without adding anything to Ihe growth of the country or to its happiness. It has laid the touudntion of en-te iu creating classes and distinctions between the cln"es crested by it. If we will persist in class legis. Ifttioij we must submit to accept its necessary concomitant, discontent, exhibited first in pro. test by murmuring, then in rcnitanco only by orj'niiiatioiis, and then by whatever force the- clrcum-tancc produce. We have as our liojs of safety the b.-.llot-box, by which peef ful revolution may prevent forceful revolt. Hut if enormous cnpitil, through organized efiort, can control the ballotbox and return its sorvivnts t congress, discontent, founded on justice, will find a remedy. Free irado in F.nglund cannot prevent it w ill haMen tie ultimate ab-.liilon of the law of prliiioceniture, the disestablishment of an established church, ths exclusive ownership of the soil, and of a hereditary legislative chamber. Protective tirilU im I monopolistic legislation cannot Introduce into America permanent and hereditary Class distinction. He is a shallow thinker w ho does not know that a man iscssentlully the same every here, and that his ultimate goal is u civilization based on equality. Several ti'iies since this debate cninnieiicrd die true arguincnt against this bill, the only really elective appeal bus been tittered; it maybe condensed into 'united wc stand, and divided we full.' It i tho argument of combination, of threat.

the sugar dnty will take fYora the treasury so many millions of dollars that thereby all the other duties may be saved. The promise to give bounties is merely illusory. The present tariff is the result of combination: it is to be maintained by combination. The interests which secured its passage are to retain its benefits; the means received by it, so far as neces-EaIJ-are to used to perpetuate it, "'f he bocst has been made on this floor that the chairman of the committee on ways and means in the Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth congresses that gallant and pure gentleman, brave of heart, clean of life, loyal to friend, trank to foe, with a conscience void of vice and a love for trntlijthat nothing could daunt has been stricken iown because he opposed this combine.' Greatly as I deplore his defeat and as much as I miss his presence, it may be that Iiis defeat, compassed as it was, will be of greater benefit than his presence. His verv abstnee arrests the attention of the republic", and all the people ask, 'are such elections necessary to the maintenance of this system?' Gentlemen, protectionists, I warn you that the vacant seat of Morrison cries louder thau the virtues of Dunca:i, 'against the deep damnation of his taking ofT." Mr. Breckinridge closed with an eloquently painted picture of the future under an equally adjusted tariff under which secret lodges of disconteuted operatives wouhl become open assemblages ot happy families. "Slowly will this future come. e have ou backs to it; today let us turn our faces to its rising sun. Jf we can do no more, we can lift our eyes toward this east of new hopes and resolve that from this hour our steps shall be iu that direction." Mr. Breckinridge's reference to Mr. Morrison was greeted with the most tumultuous applause on the democratic side, hands and arms were w ildly waved and books tossed into the air. Turning toward Mr. Randall's seat, Mr. Breckinridge expressed his high appreciation of Mr. Randall's past services and of his present ability, but added that it bad pained him to hear the gentleman close his speech by a reference to slavery. It contrasted with the manly opening of the gentleman from Ohio f McKinley, when he put the past behind him and looked to the present and future. The applause, which bad been liberally interspersed throughout Mr. Freekinridge'8 " speech grew into a storm when that gentleman took his seat. Cheer followed cheer, ladies in the galleries waved their handkerchiefs and Mr. Breckinridge's colleagues rushed forward enthusiastically to grasp his band. The committee then rose and the house took a recess till 8 p. m. At the evening session thirtyfive pension bills wero passed. Adjourned. STREATOR ACCEPTS. . The Nominee of the Union Labor Party for President Speaks. New Windsor, 111., May 20. This village is the home of the Hon. A. J. Streator, the nominee of the Cincinnati union labor convention for the office of president. To-night Las witnessed one of the most novel and interesting event ever seen in this country a political ga'heriDg in which there was no politics. Mt n of every political creed spoke in response to toasts, all giving utterance to the most cordhl congratulations find to the heartiest good wilL Mr. treeter in his address, said : I tbank you, friends, for th's distinguished and cordial oration. This demonstration marks an epoch ia your history; one that I hope may be long remembered, not so mach for 'myself, aa its awakening among us of m fraternal and kindly spirit. I did not desire the nomination, but when it eaiae to me free as the air snd the sunlight, and from every section of the country, I thought it was the voice of the industrial people. N in this grand denion ration, what is it out the voiOof the people, in this farming community, met to cd. brate the event that one of your ntimbör li-s been honored by a nomination for president? This is a new departure. In the past the presidential candidates have been chosen from two classes of our people the lawyer und the soldier on horsebackwhile the great Industrial rh.sses, comprising three-fourths of all the people, have had no canJi.Uites. Is It any wonder, then, that their interests have been neglected? Fellow citizens, this country has known mo for more thau thirty vcars. Von know nie better than I know myself and I ran ask nothing at your hands, havine already received more favors than I am deserving of. 1 deem it unwise at this time to discuss lolitical issues nnd as you have done so, I too will throw down political (iiestions to the end that we may have a good ftme, a friendly greeting and to mingle our voices, our hearts and our hands apain. I thank you for this cordial reception, and may its memory bo ever green upon the tablets uf our hearts. A number of toasts were then responded to and the meeting adjourned. (irts of I'oison. It is time that respectable merchants combined with consumers for the suppression of all gift, prize and lottery schemes in connection with the sale of articles of merchandise. These schemes are not only demoralizing to legitimate business and to the morals of the community, but in the extent in which they arc being carried in the sale of articles of food have become a source of great danger to the public health. They are, no matter in what form they appear, nothing more or less than devices to swindle honest aud unsuspecting people. it is gratifying to learn that in some instances tne officers of the law have taken hold of the matter. In New York, and also in Chicago, parties who in this way offered gifts to (purchasers of their packages have recently een arrested upon indictments for lottery swindling. The latest candidates, both for politic execration and criminal prosecution, are the manufacturers of the alum baking powders, win ore both, by menus ol gifts mid lottery tickets, disposing of large quantities of their corrosively poisonem compound", which are so well known to be detrimental to health that no housekeeper will admit them to her kitchen knowingly. This fonn of swindle is not only being peddled from house to house, but under the promise of large profits to be realized, the Manufacturers are entrenching themselves bohind the counters of many grocers by getting them to offer the alum goods w ith the gifts or lottery tickets attached, thereby shifting the liability to prosecution, in part, upon other, nnd perhaps innocent parlies, livery grocer or dealer, for in.stance, who sells or oilers for t,ale any of the prie or lottery baking powders is a criminal in the eye of the law, and liable, upon conviction, to fine ond imprisonment, while those who sell the git't goods are, morally, as responsible, for they are oflering an inducement, or prize, to'honekcepcrs to use a food that contains a eorrosivepoison. This is a predicament in which it is not possible our grocers w ill care to place themseUcs when tbey come to tliink seriously of the matter. It must be home in mind that every one of these gift or prire baking powders are alum baking powders. These powders cost less than four cents a pound to producer the gift or prize costs but a few cents more. They are sold at the price of a firsl-class baking powder, so that the swindle, in a commercial sense, is enormous. But the chief iniquity of the business consists in selling as presumably w holesome, an article of a positively injurious character, nnd by means of pil'ts or bribes inducing servants or unsuspecting houwkeepers to purchase and use it in our duly food. There should be soino prompt method of reaching lliese dangerous practice and punishing the parties engaged in their promotion. Jf the present laws are not ample, we commend the matter to the consideration of our state bnnrd of health for recommendations of such additional legislation ns shall be efl'ective for the protection of Ihe public.

THE BROKEN SXT LEVEE.

HALF THE SUFFERING YET. UNTOLD. Families Destitute, Camping in the Few Dry Spots Little Clothing, Food or Sshelter for Hundred Damages Estimated at Millions. QriXCT, IU., May 21. The great flood in the Mississippi, which will be remembered as w ithout a precedent in the destruction and suffering created, is slowly abating, and it is thought the worst of the high water is passed. The worst that could happen has already occurred, hundreds of families having been rendered homeless, and thousands of acres of growing crops ruined, to say nothing of the losses entailed by demolished dwellings, wrecked fences and washouts. A trip through the submerged regions Fhows that the stories of loss and suffering already published have not been exaggerated in the least. From the northern end of Adams county to the southern end of Pike county the land on the Illinois side of the river was protected by a system of levees, the region embracing 25O,0(X acres, the soil being the richest in the state.. Ay the region is now one vat lake from six to ten feet deep. Along the bluffs on the eastern edge of the submerged district hundreds of families are camped, living in tents, huts and in the open air. Before the flood most of these people were well-to-do, prosperous farmers, but now they have little or nothing. Much Fiekness prevails amoug the unfortunates, owing to want and exposure, but prompt measures have been taken to alleviate their sufferings. The inundated regions are full of desolation. Deserted homesteads," with water lapping the eaves, are the most frefpuent as well as the most pathetic sight. But here and there is a spark of life rot yet extinguished by the all-destroying waters. While the vast majority of the inhabitants fled to the higher land, a few were rot granted time to get away, or misjudged the character of the breaks in the levee, and determined to nay with their homes, and are now living in the garrets or on the roofs. Every roof has been turned into a place of refuge for live stock, foultrc, etc., but numberless houses have been iftcd from their foundations and carried away with the irresistible current or demolijhed entirely. ; . In the Sny levee district below this city the situation is infinitely worse than in the regions to the north. The crevasse, which completed the inuandation, opened at the upper t nd of the embankment ami the pent up waters from the river poured over the vast tract of rich funning land, sweeping everything before it. The torrent rushed down in a great wave several feet high with a force which nothing could withstand. The towns of Fall ("reck, Sechorn acd Hulls are but mere islands and hundreds of refugees are huddled together iu limited space. Four or five families are living in each ot the rooms in the few houses above the water, and suffering intensely. The damage to railroad property is enormous and it will be three weeks alter the water subsides before trains can be running on time. This city is cut off "from railroad communication north, west andsouth. The Quincy Jz Carthage track is under water for a distance of several miles. The Quincy, Alton fc St. Louis track is washed for miles, the bridge are gone ami telegraph poles down. The Chicago, Burlington i yuiney and the "Wabash tracks at Fast Hannibal washed out Saturday morning. On the west side of the river no attempt is made to run trains on any roads. Owing to great eonfusion, it is impossible to obtain detailed losses, but the aggregate will reach fully 3,eH.s, JO from crops aloue. The damage to the levees, houses and railroads w ill approximate $oOO,(JU. Reports received to-day record the drowning of Samuel Moore, by the floods iu the Indian Grove levee district, and of two children of "William Johnson in the Sny district. Two families living in the Sny district are unaccounted for and no trace of them can be found. It is probable that many fatalities will be recorded when all the facts regarding the flood are fully known. Much sickness prevails among the destitute people in the inundated districts, but the relief committee of Quincy is rendering every possible assistance to those ia distress. The river to-day is falling slowly, having declined nine inches from the highest point reached. Trains on the western roads will be resumed to-morrow and the damage to all roads in this locality w ill be repaired as speedily as possible. Clayton "Will Have "one of It. Chicago, May 21 Gen. Towell Clayton of 1 Arkansas, who was in the city to-day in attendance on the national republican committee of arrangements for the coming convention, was asked as to the truth of the rumor that he was to be used as a touchstone of the Hlaine strength in the coming convention. "Let me hear what the story is?' said Gen. Clayton. "It is, brielly, that vou are to be named for chairman of the republican convention hi a test of he Hhüne feelitisr among the delegates; that it is to be understood that you represent Jll.iine, and that your t lfction or rejection is to be taken as a show ing of Blaine's strength or weakness in the convention." "I am very glad," said On. Clayton, "that you have told me this. Now, I want to say that there is not one word of truth not the shadow of one word of truth in this story. I have not been fpokcu to or written to or comnfunicated w ith in any fashion touching any stich scheme, and if I leid been I would have indignantly refused to be any party to iL If I were chosen chairman of the convention I would wart to be the chairman of the whole convention not of one part of it. 1 would not permit any test to be made iu piy name. The more strongly yon can put thr.t fact the better will I be pleased. I have heard some faint intimations of such schemes as this invariably from Mr. Blaine's- enemies and I wunt to oppose to it as full nnd as frank a denial a the Fnglish language will permit. I don't believe that there is any such plan. I assure you I never heard anything about it until 1 canie to Chicago." .Tarier Ilefnrm Demanded.
