The congressional record con tains the treaty between Spain and the United State#} for reciprocal trade between representatives of the two governments,but awaits rat ification both by Spain and our own Senate. It is a step in the direction of freer trade between the United States and the Spanish-American islands and provides for the aboli tion of all duties on certain artic les. Prominent among the imports admitted free to our country are fresh fruits, coffee, cotton, syrups, sugars, guano, manure; prominent among our exports made free of <lu tv in the ports of Cuba and Porto liico are meat, cereals—except rice—timber, raw cotton, hemp j flax, jute, and hides. A fixed duty is established as to other articles. The treaty makes further provis ions for special reciprocal privileges of American and Spanish shipping in the ports of the two countries, for exemption from all extra ordi nary fees and taxes and for facili ties in each country for the com mercial travellers of the other coun tries. Corrupt Practices. No instance of the corrupt meth ods of the Republican party has come to light that show up more thoroughly than the eorrespondene of Lot Wright, United States mar shal for the Southern district of Ohio in which ho solicited permis sion to employ Marshals at the re cent election in Cincinnati. Here was a public official who, in writing to his superior, made no secret that he wanted to use his po sition, with all its authority and all the money ho could command, for purely partisan purposes. He indicated his desire to ap point six hundred men as deputies in a fourth rate city where police’ men and Sheriffs were provided in ample numbers to keep and pre serve the peace. What he actually did was to appoint nearly seven teen hundred Marshals, besides a large number of Supervisors, at a cost to the government of nearly twenty thousand dollars. This work was done after consul tation with the managers one party the other being reiused representa tion, and absolutely upon the au thority of the -Marshal, who could not bo reached by any restraining process. The thing that should be done, and at once is the repeal of what el creating such officers. Never was there a more infamous statute, and the sooner thexlisgraee is wiped off the books, the better. Honesty the Best Policy. In all the political results of the year, we know of no 0116 so badly left as Beast Butler. While he had no hope of dicing elected Presi dent, we doubt not but he thought he would be instrumental in elect ing Blaine,and would reap rewards. The Beast has kept quiet however. But not so with his followers who feel that they were traded off to no purpose and they desire to know the reason whv. The New York county committee of the Butler Labor party held a meeting on Wednesday night, at which they disclosed the fact that had made with Tammany Hall by which they were to support Tam many’s candidates for Mayor and other city offices in return for Tam manvs support for Butler and a Butler Legislative ticket. They claim that they were cheated, as Butler fgot very .few Tammany votes, while the Labor Legislative candidates hardly received support enough to be given respectable standing among the scattering, Six thousand dollars were squandered in this campaign of great bargains and small fulfillment, and as the members of the committee claim to have got none of the money they want to find out whether Tammany got.thftt, too. A committee was appointed to investigate the disap- pcarancc of the money and the treachery of the men who promised to vote for Butler and his ticket and didn’t. When rogues fall out honast'men get their dues. Let Tammany be shown up by the trading Bulter itos. Forty-Eighth Congress, As yet has accomplished but lit tle, so far as the passage of bills is concernt and. The llouso this week will probably pass Lacy# bill pro hibiting the issue of treasury notes of lower denominations than five dollars and providing for the issue of onr, two and five dollar silver eer tifleates. The bill making the com missioner of Agriculture a cabinet officer will probably be passed. The interstate commerce bill has called forth several speeches and will con sume much time yet. The river and harbor go over SB,(XX),(XX). Judge Moulton introduced a reso lution in the House to have agents to take charge of the New Orleans exposition and collect enough mon ey to pay back the million loaned by the government. This produced a flutter with the management at New Orleans, but it was not inten ded as a reflection on them. The million was turned over to them in a loose way and the resolution sim ply looked to getting the money back from the collections by the ex position. During the interval that Congress adjourns for the holidays Mr. Randall will make a tour South, and speak to the people in some of the larger cities. Senator Bayard having intima tions that president-elect Cleveland would be pleased to talk with him about national matters, went to Al bany and had an interview with him. It is published that President Cleveland spoke freely to Senator Bayard as to the policy of his ad ministration and said he would know no north, east, west orsout h ; in the usual political significations j of these terms. Senator Bayard has concluded to lay aside the Cub ! ernatorial toga on January fitli next, and then devote his time to ! considering national affairs, and j that he would carry out such a pol- j icy as was advocated by Hampton, Colquitt and G union. The admission by Senator Bay ard that President Cleveland will be guided in his southern policy by such men as Gordon, Colquitt aftd Lamar has brewed up jealously among some of the other Southern men in public life. The Star says: “Senator Brown, of Georgia, who was not in the Southern military service and who joined the Repub licans after the war, is exercised over the statement, as it will shut him out. In important event in religious circles this week is the great gath ering in Baltimore, to celebrate the centennial of Methodism in this country. It is called the centen nial conference, though it is Jin no ooclesiastical sense a Methodist Conference, for it will exercise no judicial or legislative functions. All the various Methodist bodies are represented in it, except the Primi tive methodists and it is the first catholic or ecumenical Methodist conference in the history of Ameri can Methodism. The meetings will continue probably ten days, are attended by leading men in the different Methodist bodies, and are given to the discussion of practical topics bearing upon the efficiency of the Methodist churches in ag gressive Christian work. It is an important body and will work out much good. All the states have reported the results of the popular vote for Pres idential electors on the 4th of No vember last. The total vote was 10,046,073, of which the Cleveland ticket received 4,913,903, the Blaine ticket 4,874,689, the Butler ticket 133,880, and the St. John ticket 150,- 633, showing a plurality of 66,242 for Cleveland. The total vote of 1880 was 9,218,250 and Garfields plurality was 9,464. A protectionist revival is now going on in England and France. Not only in England and France, but the protectionist wave is sweep ing over Europe.

The Western Union Telegraph ■ Company proposes to make a char acteristic Christmas present to its | e nployes all along the line in the | form of a ten per cent reduction of j their pay. This is one of the eons - quenees of anew consolidation which does its share toward what every consolidation accomplishes in some degree, by j tutting all the operators in the country at the mercy of one great employer. i A sprit of unrest is abroad among those who depend upon their daily | labor for their breed, not only in the United States, hut also in European nations. It is impossible to estimate closely how much labor is now without employment in this coun, try, but if fhe iron and textile in dustries maybe taken as standards at least one-half of the labor of the country employed in manufactures ; is idle, and a large proportion of] the remainder is earning greatly re- j duced wages when compared with : ret urns in former years. Agricultur- j al labor is affected in a much less . degree, but even there the effects of] depression are felt. ♦ ’ , ... !
