KICKING ON THE TARIFF.
THE LEATHER AND SHOE TRADE
OF GOTHAM GETS A HEARING.
A Claim That Our Exports Are So
Small That ths Rebate Won't Com
pensate For the Proposed Duty A
Change in ths Duties on Hosiery
and Cotton Shirts.
Washington, April A— A committee
representing: the hide, leather uud shoe
trade of New York appeared before the
•ways and means committee to-day to op
pose the proposed duty of 15 per cent. on
hides*. Tile committee was composed of
Charles Soheiren, J. B. Horton, H. B.
Vaughan, Mark Hoyt, J. K. Ciliey, Webb
Horton, E. 1C Ledew, D. T. Stevens, Harry
Howell, Willi m H. Hals>y, Charles A.
Bigelow and John Hannen.
Mr.Scheirea argued that the rebate on ex
ports provided to nutizate ths effect of the
duty would be practically valueless to the
shoe men, as most of their goods were not
exported, but found a horns market.
HIDES FOB PATENT LEATHER.
Mr. ITalsey said that the makers of patent
leather could not use California, Colorado
or Texas hides, and w, uld not if they could
be had free of cost. They required wet
bides, free from marks aud brands, and
those hides were necessarily imported. At
present makers were able to compete for
the trade of the world in light leathers.
They supplied Australia. Eeven a drawback
avail however, as imported hides
were divided up into different classes of
leather goods, and it would not be practi
cable to ascertain what portion of them
■were subject to drawback.
WOULD DEMORALIZE THE TRADE.
Mr. Bigelow said if that duty was im
posed, ah hough the ultimate effect might
he to maintain the existiug prices of hidos
and leather, the shoe trade would be de
moralize 1 for eighteen months or two
years. Trade was beginning in shoes with
countries which now supplied us w ith hides,
and the poiut had just been reached where
the American saoe manufacturer was able
to compete with the European maker, and
this trade would bo checked by the duty.
THE DUTY ON HOSIERY.
The committee has decided to increaso
the duties propose. lin the tariff bill on the
finer grades of cotton hosiery tirades of
oottton stockings, hose and half hose valued
at 82 and le"s per dozen are left as they'
stood in the bill, but on grades above that
valuation, where it was proposed that the
duty should be 40 cents per dozen and 40
per cent., the following rates have been
agreed upon: Valued at more than $2 per
dozen and not more than 84, 75 cents and
40 per cent.; valued at more than $4, £1 and
40 jier cent.
COTTON SHIRTS AND DRAWERS.
00n cotton shirts and drawers, which the
bill made dutiable at 50 cents and 35 per
cent., for grades b'tween £1 50 and 85 per
dozen, 75 cants and 40 per cent. For grades
above 84 per and zen in valuo the rates have
tieen increased as follows: Valued at more
than $1 50 and not more tbau $3, 81 per
dozen and 45 per cent.; more than 80 and
rot more than 85, 81 25 and 40 per cent.;
more than 85 and not more than 87, 81 75
and 40 per cent; more than $7, 81125 and

CROPS AND THfcl WEATHER.
An Excess of Rain In Moat Parts of the
Country.
Washington, April 5. —The w’eather
crop bulletin, issued to-day by the signal
service, is as follows:
The week ending April 5 was slightly
cooler than usual in the central valleys and
Middle Atlantic states. It was decidedly a
cool week m the Rooky mountain region,
while it was slightly warmer than usunl in
the Gulf and Sou'h Atlantic states. New
England and New York.
AN EXCESS OF RAIN.
Generally'there has been an excess of
rainfall over the regions east of ihe Rocky
mountains during the week, although in the
extreme southern and the extreme north
ern portions of the United States a defi
ciency of rainfall is reported, the greatest
deficiencies occurring in the southern por
tions of the South Atlantic states and the
northern portion of Minnesota and Dakota.
The heaviest rams occurred in the west,
ihe Gulf states, extending from Central
Texas and Louisiana northward to the
Missouri valley, over which region the
rainfall ranged from two to five inches.
The precipitation for the weak generally
exceeded one inch over the Tennessee and
Ohio valley, the Middle Atlantic states and
Southern New England.
FARM WORK WELL ADVANCED.
Recent raius have placed the ground ia
excellent condition for seeding and farm
work over the greater portion of lowa,
Minnesota, Michigan, and Da-
L ita, although in the extreme north dry
•weather continues.
Throughout the winter wheat belt, from
IDbio to Kansas, and south ward to Tennessee
end Arkansas, farm work is greatly re
tarded, owing to the excessive rains, the
reason being from two to three weeks late,
although wheat is reported as having im
proved, and the oats prospect looks better,
A GOOD WEEK.
The weather during tho week affected
crops favorably in Louisiana and Texas,
■where planting is progressing rapidly, and
in the Eastern Gulf states, where tho
■weather was generally favorable aud much
progress was made in plnutiug cottou anil
corn. Work was greatly delayed in the
northern aud central portions of Mississippi
owing to excessive rains and floods.
Crops are much improved in the Bouth
Atlantic states, where good growing
weather prevailed, but the earlv crops need
rain.
' The weather during the week was gen
erally injurious to crops in New Jersey and
New York. In the former state fruit and
vegetables were injured and little progress
was made in farm work. The prospect of
the fruit crop itt New York is generally
good, but peaches have been injured.

THE RUSE OF A CLEVER WOMAN.
How She Persuaded Her Husband to
Take Her to Europe.
From the Xew York Times.
“Women are smarter than men every
time,” said the manager of a largo tourist
excursion business in an argument over the
respective qualities of the sexes, “and I
can tell you a little story to oack my state
ment that I think is a clincher. When 1 was
in Chicago some years ago an elderly lady
came into my office one day and asked mo
to prepare a trip to tho continent for bar
husband aud herself. I set to work on it
the following morning and bad just about
finished the scfedule when a man came
rushing in, introduced himself as the hus
band of my previous day’s caller, and told
mo to stop my work. He said he did not
want to go to Europe, and he wouldn’t go,
and he would be blessed if his wife was go
ing either. He notified me also that he
held the family purse strings, and then de
parted.
“I threw the schedule awav with a wild
objurgatory remark about female wavs and
started in on something else.
“Half an hour later in came the lady aud
said that 1 was not to bother with u hat her
husband said. She told me that the trip
was going to bo made, and that he was go
ing with her. and that when she ma le up
her mind to do any thing she generally did
it. See left a §IOO guarantee with me to
finish up the itinerary, and X went ahead.
“When tbe starting day camo around the
husband walked m to see me, paid up like a
little man, and went away with Ins tickets,
but he offered no explanation as to his
change of mind.
"In the fall of that year I met the couple
on the steamer coming home, and ono night
over our cigar tbe husband told me the
story of how his wife persuaded him to t ike
the trip.
“ ‘She didn't say a word to tne on the
subject,’ said lie, ‘after tlio day I called on
you to countermand her orders, and I
swelled with pride to think how easily I had
knocked the idea out of her head. Un the
Sunday morning before I called on you
again wo went to church as usual, and after
the sermon and just as I was preparing my
mind for dinner the pastor noa: ly stunned
me by announcing that my wife and 1 were
to start for Europe in a few days, and that
we wished the prayers of the congregation.
All eves were turned on <,ur pew at. once,
and everybody joined in tbe requested
prayer. What could 1 do but look thutk
tiul; 1 had u bad fifteen minutes’ walking
home, and I didn’t enjoy dinner a bit; but
the funny side of the affair struck me in tbe
afternoon, noil before long I was eong ratu
lating my wife on her cleverness aid look
ing forward with interest to the Inirney
myself.’ ”

posed Frogtown Murderer.
Policeman Rahilly, while patrolling In
dian street at 1 o’clock yesterday morning,
was attracted by cries of “murder” coining
from Farm street. It, was a womntt’t voice,
and she awakened the neighborhood with
her cries.
Upon reaching the corner of Farm street
and Indian street lane, the officer saw a
colored man leaving a little house where a
crowd of colored people were gathered.
Somebody said, “Go after him. lie’s the
man that killed her.” The police
man started toward the negro, but
before he reached him the negro
ran. The policeman gave chase, and as he
was aFiout to capture the fugitive tho negro
turned atd attempted to draw a weapon.
Tho officer thrust his pistol at the fugitive
and fired. There was a flash, a smoke
and the negro dropped and cried. “I am
shot,” He was removed to the bar-ac ts,
where ho gave his name ns Archie Jon sj
employed on the lmut>er wharves.
Tho woman preferred the charge of assault
and battery against the man. She said that
he was her husband, but they had been
separated some time. Jones went to the
house where she was, she said, and beat her
over the head with rocks.
The wounded mau suffered a good deal of

away from him, he said, and had b_*o i liv
ing in Indian street ia ie. He went down
to see her, and going to a wi idow he lookei
in, and saw another man in her bedroom.
Ho asked her what it meant, and she cursed
him. He remonstrated with her and she
struck him. He then picked up a rock and
hit her.
Abraham Butler, whom Jones saw iu the
house, came into the room, Jones said, aud
attacked him with a knife, cutting his
clothes. Jones defended himself with an
ax against his assailant until he could get
out of the house; then he walked down
down the street. The woman yelled so that
Jones said he became frightened. He
looked back and saw a policeman comitij,
and looking again he said that lie

The officer told him to stop, and bocause he
did not he opened (ire on him and shot

SPAWNED PRINTERS.
By the term spawned we mean that class of
individuals who hare, in one way or another,
acquired a loose knowledge of the art of print
ing, but who have neither the education, taste
nor adaptability for producing in its practice
the first evidence of competency. This town is
full of spawned printers. They could not make
a living by working as journeymen in first-class
printing offices. If you have bother and worry,
it is because you patronize the wrong shop?.
