SATUBPAT, APRIL 1,
Mrs. Sarah Brute Seddon, widow of
Hon. James A. Seddon, of Virginia, and
at one time Secretary of W ar of the Con
federate States, died in Philadelphia on
Tuesday last.
In the letter published yesterday re
garding the proposed sites for light
houses on the river, a typographical er
ror occurred which destroyed the sense
of the communication. The writer was
made to say “bills for the land,” when ;
he ought to have said, and intended to
say, titles.
The Honorable Richard T. Merrick,
of Washington, a prominent lawyer and
well-known Democrat, has been retained
by the Attorney General to assist in the
prosecution of the star route cases. It
is understood that the selection of Mr.
Merrick was recommended by eminent
Republicans.
If the report that all shades and classes
of Washington society attended Mr. Ar
thur’s first grand public reception last
Tuesday evening be true, it must have
been a terribly mixed affair. But that
is the penalty our dainty President must
pay for the greatness which Guiteau
thrust upon him.
The indefinite postponement of the
International Silver Conference has been
announced by both France and the
United Stwtes. The reason for this
action is to be found in the failure of the
previous meetings at Paris to secure an
agieement between the leading com
mercial countries to establish an arbi
trary relation between the values of gold
and silver.
Reports as to a possible war between
China and Japan are again rife. The
primary cause of dispute between the
two countries, as most readers are aware,
has reference to the possession and occu
pancy of the islands of Formoso and
Loo-Choo. The latest dispatches from
Yokohama state that notwithstanding
these warlike preparations Japan is mak
ing little preparation, if any, for the
crisis.
Dr. Lamson, the American who has
been convicted in England of the mur
der of his brother in law by the admin
istration of aconite, is to be hung April
4th. Some effort has been made to se
cure him a reprieve on the ground of
insanity, but so far it has failed. If he
is hung on the day appointed it will be
only three months from the date of ttafe
i committal of his crime. English justice
is swifter than American.
It is quite evident now that if the
tariff commission bill passes the House,
the tariff question will not be settled be
fore the next Presidential election, aud
so the tariff issue will be prominent in
the next campaign. If this is so, the
Democrats can play no stronger card
before the country than by adhering
strictly to their time honored principles
and coming out manfully and honestly
in favor of the people vs. the monopo
lists.
Various rumors arc afloat in Wash
ington about the Chinese bill. Eight
Senators, it is reported, claim to know
that the President will decline to sign it
on the ground that it violates our treaty
with China. Senator Jones, of Nevada,
however, who, it will be remembered,
has quite recently became a convert to
the doctrine that this is a white man’s
government, spent last Monday evening
with the President, and says he is con
fident the measure will be approved.
The Treasury has to pay out $7,500,000
to day for interest, and $20,000,000 next
Saturday for called bonds. It is custo

disbursements the money market will be
come rather easy, and may be expected to
continue easy until summer time, fund?

New York is so well assured as to react
favorably upon the stock market, and to
deprive the possible gold export cf nearly
all inconveniences.
The Banker’s Magazine estimates that
the cotton yrop of 1831 was sold through
speculative purchases one hundred and
seventy-two times, wheat crop ten times,
and com four times. In his report for
1864 the Commissioner of Internal Reve
nue, when discussing the advisability of
a tax upon sales, said that the transit of
agricultural productions from the pro
ducer to the consumer is usually much
more direct than that of manufactured
articles. Large quantities of grain, hay,
pork and beef are consumed without
sale, and the surplus may be sold once,
twice, or thrice, while textile fabrics are
sold five, six or seven times before being
consumed. Competent authorities esti
mate that on a general average produc
tions of the country are sold four times
before reaching the consumer. This
comparison brings out in a strong light
the speculation in cotton.
Whether or not there is to be a war
between Germany and Russia is a ques
UonnpkAfikjJfii§ rm ' ne< h The Russians
ob the question.
,neota at' s war believe that Russia
Wllltpbt W atAwiin iompete with the Aus-
has an enormous
force of 2.100,000 men at command,
while the Northern Empire can bring
to the field only half as the other
two powers united. The friends of war,
however, aver that in a conflict between
Slav civilization and German civilization,
the former would certainly come off vic
torious, because the Slavs outnumber the
Germans two to one. They think that a
war would result in the disorganization
of Austria, the fall of the political influ
ence of Germany, and the formation of
a number of Slav States under the Czar’s
protection. The Slav statesmen also
count confidently upon the active co
operation of France against her old
enemy.
The Philadelphia Record thicks that
the immense floods of immigration that
will flow towards this country during the
present year theatens to tax the resources
of the various steamship lines to an extent
greater than their capacity. It states
tht the steamship companies are all busy
increasing their capacity for immi
grant accommodation, and among the
additional facilities for transportation
will be anew line of freight and paesen
ger steamers between Galveston and
Liverpool in connection with the Trans
continental Railroad to San Francisco.
It is also stated that plans are nearly
perfected for aline of steamships be
tween Baltimore and some French port,
with a view to accommodate emigration
from Southern Europe to the Southern
aection of the United States. This will
place nearly every port in this country in
director indirect communication with
the principal countries of the old world
lion emigration is directed.
The Tariff Commlwlom Bill.
The bill which passed the Senate last
Tuesday providing for a commission
of nine members to be appointed by
the President and confirmed' by the Sen
ate, whose duty it shall be to investigate
thoroughly the question of tariff re
vision, and report their conclusions to
Congress not later than the first Monday
in January, 1888, can certainly not be
regarded a satisfactory measure. The
objections thereto are manifold. In the
first place, it is clearly the duty of Con
gress alone to deal with the subject of
the tariff. Power to do so is vested by
the Constitution only in that body, and
it is a poor commentary' upon the wisdom
and statesmanship of men aspiring to fill
such important positions as members of
the Federal Legislature, that they are so
unfamiliar with the conditions of our
present cumbersome and unjust tariff
system, and so little understand the in
terests of th people in so vital a matter,
that they must delegate their constitu
tional powers to a set of men empowered
to instruct them so that they may better
understand their duty. It is strange that
the United States Senate should have
ever been willing to make s* humiliating
a confession.
In the next plsce, giving the President
the power to nominate to the Senate the
members of the commission, virtually
places it in the power of that official
and the Senate to defeat any revision of
the tariff Whatever. Should the Presi
dent favor, as he doubtless does, the
protected manufacturers of the North,
who have grown immensely wealthy
from the enormous profits secured them
by our protective system, how easy will
it be for him to nominate only such men
for the commission as he knows are
friends of the monopolists, and how easy
it will be for a Rspublican Senate
promptly to confirm his nominations. It
requires no astute intellect to foresee
what the result of the investigation of
such a commission would be. In fact
the commission bill, if it passes the
House, will simply amount to Congress
shirking its duty, and relinquishing its
rights and power to regulate this great
question into the hands of the President
of the United States, who, under the
Constitution, has no more to do with
regulating the tariff than has the hum
blest citizen of the land.
In the next place the effect of this
commission bill, should it become a law,
will be to delay for a year at least, and,
most probably, for an indefinite period,
legislation upon the tariff question. The
commission is allowed until the first
Monday in January next to submit its
report. After it is submitted, some time
must elapse before it can be taken up
and then when it is taken up there will
follow lengthened and elaborate discus
sion thereon before it is finally disposed
of, or the reforms, if any, which it will
recommend, can be carried into effect.
Indeed it may even be worse than this.
Congress expires on the 4th of March
next, and it will be, by no means, an im
possible, or even a very difficult matter
for the friends of protection, should they
see that the report will be adverse to
their wishes, to delay in various ways
decisive action thereon until the session
expires by limitation, and then conside
ration of the whole matter will have to
begin de now. It is by no means im
probable that this idea long ago suggest
ed itself to the enemies of tariff reform
in the Senate, at and was a strong induce
ment to them to vote in favor of the
commission
But, notwithstanding the objections
to the tariff commission bill which we
have cited, its passage by the Senate is,
in many respects, a subject of congratu
lation to revenue reformers. It was
evidently passed by the Republican ma
joritv of that body with great reluctance.
They hated to do anything tending to in
terfere in the slightest with the immense
bonanza which their friends enjoy in the
protective system, and had it been possi
ble they would, doubtless, gladly have
either defeated the bill and altogether
ignored the whole question of reform in
the tariff. Such a course was impossible,
however, since popular demand for a
change in the present onerous tariff sys
tem is even now irresistible, and
is daily growing more and more strong.
The commission bill had to be passed as
a sop to Cerberus, which shows conclu
sively that the people of the United
States are. at last, becoming fully convinc
ed of the iniquity of their being forced to
pay heavy tribute to a few protected mo
nopolists so that the latter may accumu
late vast wealth at their expense. The
bill under consideration, therefore, is a
step in the right direction, and, as revo
lutions never go backwards, its passage
is an assurance that the just cause of the
people vs. monopolists will in the end
be decided in favor of the plaintiff.
Last year there were one hundred and
twenty million dollars taken from the
pockets of the people in this countiy in
excess of the wants of the government.
The public expenditure was on a large
scale; there was generous provision for
the sinking fund; the interest on the
public debt was paid at maturity, and
there was one hundred and twenty mil
lion dollars still in the vaults of the
Treasury. Estimating the revenues and
the expenditures of the current year on
the basis of the past, the excess of taxa
tion beyond requirements is likely to
reach one hundred and fifty million dol
lars.
Commenting on these figures, . the
Philadelphia Record remarks: '‘lt is safe
to say that there is not another gov
ernment upon the face of the earth
that would dare to go on from year
to year with a scheme of taxation so ex
haustive of the resources of a nation
without making such salutary reductions
as would bring income and outlay within
hailing distance of each other. But it
seems to be the deliberate intention of
Congress to make no change. The vote
in the Senate in favor of the tariff com
mission bill is a notice served upon the
country that for at least two years to
come there shall be no let up to tariff ex
actions. The proposed reduction in in
ternal revenue need not be considered
It is less in amount than the anticipated
increment from customs and excise for
the current year. It is like giving a tea
spoonful of water to a thirsiy man.”
The New York Commercial Bulletin is
also opposed to the anti Chinese bill, and
mainly for the reason that its becoming
a law would seriously injure our com
merce with China. It says: “Should the
Chinese prohibition bill become a law,
let no man thereafter speak lightly of
Mr. Denis Kearney. That eminent
patriot and political economist has been
able at .last to win over the government
of this great country to his solitary one
idea, and to show, thus, that the states
manship of the sand lots is the fashion
at Washington. The least now that can
be done in recognition of his services, it
seems to us, should be a seat in the
United States Senate—if not from the
Pacific coast, then from some of the
Southern State* that, as is seen by their
votes, are quite as anxious as California
or Oregon that the Chinese must go.”

The mortality report of last week for Chi

over the previous week. This increased
death rate is attributed to the bad sanitary

drinking water a veritable “hell broth,”
and that with the present condition of the
streets and alleys the lake water will ne
saturated with death-dealing taints every
time the wind sets towards the “crib.” But
it Is not the fatality record that is most ap
palling. It is the consequences that will
result from the seeds that have been planted
and the maladies created by the present
sanitary condition of the city.
Hancock Mining Journal : “On Monday
afternoor, as Captain William Tonkin, of
the Atlantic mine, and Professor C. D. Law

tled by something which came tumbling
down tbe shaft, passed them at lightning
speed and disappeared into the dark depths
leading to the lowest level of the mine.
The mysterious object proved to be the body
of a young Finlander, a timber man, who had
gone to the surface In the skip a short time
before, and,when the skip reached the brace

then started to ascend again, had jumped
out to save himself from being dumped,

The unfortunate fellow, who was a hard

was, of course, instantly killed, and proba

I feel it a duty t® inform you, and through you all
who are interested to know the fact, that a most
disagreeable and obstinate case of Salt Rheum or
Eczema, which has been under my personal obser

about ten (10) years, covering the greater por

irritating aud itching scab, and to which all the
known methods of treating such diseases had been
applied without benefit, has completely disappeared,
leaving a clean and healthy skin, under a lew days
of profuse application of Cuticura.
I can and do heartily advise all similarly afflicted
to try the remedy which lias been so effectual iu
this case. Very truly yours,

lot Our War of Mi Bosks.
We discard the bombastic style of advertisement. We endeavor to impress people with plain
facts, as all our business purposes are founded upon
1 STRICT REGARD FOR TRUTH AND HONEST!
Some merchants advertise so many hundred thousands of yards of this, that and the other,
and so many other articles in such fabuious quantities, that it would require an entire block
to warehouse it. Again they offer one or two leading articles at or near cost, endeavoring
thereby to make the public believe that
EVERYTHING IS GIVEN AWAY!
Whilst they simply throw out a bait as a catch. Such things we have known to work very well
in large cities, such as New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, etc., where there is a large floating
population, and a good many green people, but In our staid and sober city such things are soon
found out and therefore play out. That we believe in what we say, we prove by not tan mg
stock in bombast. This much we do assure our costumers and the public generally, THAT WE
DO NOT ALLOW OUHBELVEB TO BE UNDERSOLD BY ANYBODY, and if they offer special
baits we beg to inform them that we will meet them, whether it is CHECKED NAINSOOK at
B?*c., STRIPED PIQUE at and good CALICOES at 5c., or whatever else it may be next
HONORABLE COMPETITION
