WASHINGTON LETTER.
I ' «
Washington, Apt 11 Btb, 1884.
From Our Regular Correspondent
J This is the day ou wnich the edu
o ottdcb al till, that has so long claim*
1 ed the attention of the senate, is to
fail, or, to pass. Ii has given rise to
a a realty great debate, from which ci
i tations will be made threat er on oc
' casions when the limitation of the
federal au hority is a t heme of dis
cussion. It, has proved an ord -al in
c impelling many senators to take
ground igaiust meir strongest eym
"i pithies, for all democratic senators
jw mid like t ! aid the south in educa
| ting the mass of ignorance that has
i been armed with the ballot. Some
i say they will have to resist the ap
i peal because they cannot find in the
j la w any warrant for the action, while
i others encounter no such difficulties.
| Several southern democratic senators
I are on opposite sides of the measure.
Among the most recent forcible con
tributions'o the discussion are the
arguments of Senators Pendleton,
! B yard, Morgan, and Gibson, each
i piesented with statesmanlike ability.
I D moera'io objections to the idea of
i national interference in local
matters except the senator from
Louisiana who strongly favored the
measure. Senator Pendleton began
by saying the length and scope of
the debate made it difficult for any
one 10 say anything new In itself or
in its guise. There had been several
drfl'iitiorts of the bill. Its sponsor,
Senator Blair, bad said it was a bill
to fit. voters to exercise intelligently
the Irancnise. The Arkansas s mator,
Mr. Gariind, who advocated it,
d. fined it as a bill to extirpate illiter
acy, Others spoke of it as a bill to
relieve the states, to perpetuate the
Union, tostreng nen the gov rnment,
to perfect the scheme of emancipa
tion, or compensate some of the
consequences that followed from it.
He called it simply a bill to appro
pi late $105,000,000 to education in the
states. The Ohio sens or alluded
with Onesterfieldian adroitness to
the able efforts made by certain
Si nature who had preceded him.
Senator Biyard said he h id intended
to cast a silent vote on this bill, but
the debate had more and more shown
the itnpoitance of it, aud be telt con
strained to explain his action in the
matter. Hi s >oke of the conflict
h I ween his conscience and his duty,
anti ewer, upon the condition of the
south which the policy adopted by
the patty in control of the
g-neral government bad robbed
of wry vestige of seif govern
menr. The fluent Altbami orator,
Mr. Morgan, -poke forcibly, and as
lon . a i • usually does when be gets
the flo r. He sai l he did not reject
tti s overture made to tte people of
the south, through any alleged feel
ing of pi id.’, res -n mi nr or lingering
h its t’iie-e r fleet ions embarrassed
his c inc'ui ’, tor he was averse to
rt; r ding on punctilios, but they
should o .iy muke him more cautious
in action, not less resolute. While
bis motives might be misunderstood
bis votes here should have the ap
ptob itl >n of his own conscience. He
arraigned congiess for ire course to
ward the negro In the District of
Columbia, It first entF.nehised him,
then dis-nfranchise 1, and at the
same time dieeufraucnised sucn men
as George Bancroft and W. W. Cor
coran.
The bouse of representatives has
done a creditable week’s work. It
discussed and passed the trade dollar
bill, the Indian and agricultural ap
pr» pi iatlona; considered several mi
nor matters, disposed of pension bills
and some private measures, and be
gan debate on the forfeiture or Ore
gon land grants.
Postal telegraphy and woman suf
frage will not oecome laws by legis
lation or the present Congress. Sen
at committees have favored both
m asures, but house committees are
prepared to report adversely on both,
woich, of course will silence both
questions.
Tes Imociy just given in the Dan
ville investigation by Gan. Wickham,
a republican member of the Virginia
senate, renders the whole inquiry
absurd. He said the last election was
the lalrest ever held in the state.
There was no intimidation at the
polls, and the news ot the riot had
no effect in driving the colored votes
from him. Mr Sherman asked him
if he was a republic in up to the last
canvass. He replied, “Until yet; I
am now a republican.”
A use has at last been found for the
Washington monument. It affords
the most convenient point imagina
ble for testing the lamps of the Brush
Electric Light Company. Nightly
now, from its summit, these bright
lignis may be seen, looking like a
new and unusually bright consteila
tion.
A novel application of electric ligbt
! ing has been made in Austria. Near
i Gams there is a large subterranean
cavern called the Krauss Groite,
which is visited by a large number ot
tourists. At a distance ot two or three
miles is a powerful waterfall, which
• has been employed to put in motion a
■ Gramme dynamo machine, and the
grotto is now lighted up with elec
tricity at sn insignificant cost. The
r effect of the light upon the crystals
oti cue walls is described as marvel
ously beautiful.

ADVICE TO A YOUNG MAN.
1 •
LET GAMBLINGS IN STOCKS AND
WHEAT AND PORK ALONE.
the chances are that it will cause
' j YOU TO WAKE UP WITH A HEADACHE IF
' YOU DO NOT.
From tile Milwaukee Sun.
1 A young man writes as follows: “I
am a book- keeper in a wholesale
house, on a salary of twelve hundred
dollatsa year, and I have flye hun
dred dollars laid up. I want to mike
some money, and I have thought
some of speculating In a little wheat
or pork. I know several young men
in my position who have made quite
a litrle money speculating, and I
have been tempted to invest several
times, but have not yet been able to
get up courage to take my live hun
dred dollars out ot the bank aud put
it in thehandsof acommission house.
What wuuid you advise me to do? I
have guessed on the market seyr-rai
times, and have guessed right, and if
I bad put my money on my guesses,
I would havi made considerable.
Now, tell me honestly, because
I know you have speculated, and
know all about it.”
Young man, go and look at your
five hundred dollars, and see if is
there yet. Ah, it is all safe, is i ?
Looked sort of goo i, didn’t it? Made
you feel proud when you saw it,
proud that you had earned it by hard
work? Well, if you had twice the
am unt, won at gambling, or in
wi.eat speculations, you would cot
thioK half as much of it s you ’B'’ of
this flrst five hundred duliais. You
don't ever think of spending this
money foolishly. It represents t
you hard work coined into dollars.
If you had accumulated it without
work, in speculation, aud it came
easy, you would be looking tor a
horse that could beat the crowd on
the avenue, in less than a week.
You would be spoiled if you aceumu ■
lated money easy, an*d ruined ii you
lost your five hundred. You keep
right on keeping books, and keeping
them well, and forget that live hun
dred except to draw the interest reg
ular, or unless you see
a piece of first-class solid prop
erty, that is offered cheap. But
don’t you put a dollar on wheat or
pork expecting to win, for you will
lay down yaur bundle sooner or later
and wake up with a headache. Tnis
is not the advice >'f one who ever
speculated a dollar, or who ever will,
but one who has been watching those
who dp speculate for fifteen years.
Notone in a hundred ot them but
have lost. Those who have won are
no better off, because they have worn
thi tneeives out watching the market
and cursing th ir luck. It is a bust
ness that should only be done by rich
men for amusement. The rich can
lose and not feel it. though some of
them kick pretty hard when they
lose. But the poor, tho-jo who are
depending on their labor, either of
hands or brain, Should never indulge
in an amusement that makes even
the rich wish they were dead. You
can take a Hundred dollars and gu to
a faro bank, and guess on the deal,
io your mind, with vour hand on your
money in your pocket, and you will
guess right very often, but if you put
your money down, the majority of
guesses will ba against you. and the
commission the bank takes will soon
eat up your hundred dollars. If you
beta dollar on each card, and won
half your bets and lost the other half,
it would only be a matter of time
when the bank would have all your
money, end you would have the
experience. Without arguing that
speculation in options is anything
like a faro bank, though n any spec
ulators will teli you it is, the result
will be the same, only the commis
sion has to be paid on every deal,
whether you win or lose. If you
make a deal and win, you pay the
gentlemanly commission man his
commission. If you lose on rhe deal
be is not going to work for nothing,
is he? Os course not. The faro b ink
only t ikes a commission when you
win which s h ows tnat the faro b ink
er is not as good a business man as
be ought to be, If the Bun is mis
taken about, commission being
charged on losing deals, it is willing
to be corrected. Anyway, young
man, what you want to do is to forget
that there is any cnanoe for you to
engage in speculation, for if you go
into it. you will curse the day that
you dii. Now, don’t ask any more
questions, but goon posting up those
books.
SENATOR BROWN.
Remarks on the Manufacturers’ Con
vention.
In the United States senate on the
4tu inst„ Senator Brown or Georgia,
made some remarks on the late meet
ing of southern manuiactuters in
Augusta. We quote from the eon
gressional Record ot tho sch, and
commend the remarks of the senator
to the attention of tree trade advo
cates in Georgia and the south gener
ally.
From the Congressional Record,
Mi. Brown—Mr. President, ou yes
terday when my friend, the honor
able senator from Kentucky (Mr.
Beck) was delivering hie able aud
lucid argument on the educational
question, he happened incidentally
to allude to the tariff question, and
during the ableremaiks which he
made on that question, the honor
able senator ftoni South Carolina
(Mr. Butler) interrupted him, and
with his consent read certain extracts
from a newspaper, relating to a num
ber ot very worthy gentlemen, some
of whom are my constituents, giving
their opinions on the tariff question,
and the bearings of that question up
on southern manufactures. Bv the
request of the senator from Ken
tucky, the senator fromSouthO.ro
iiua cut out from the newspaper the
slip he read and gave it to the sena
tor from Kentucky, to be incorpor
ated in his remarks, and I find it In
the record of to-day. Those worthy
and distinguish ’d manufacturerstake
substantially toe position that south
ern manufacturers would be better
off if the tariff were abolished entire
ly, and we had absolute free tradt-.
Os course, they take this position in
lull view of the fact that we are
obliged to raise over S3OO 000,000 a
year by taxation, to support the gov
ernment aud meet all its obligations,
even wuen economically administer
ed. The advocacy of free trade is,
• therefore, the advocacy of direct tax
es, to raise from the people by an in-
• ternal revenue system or by direct
I taxation this enormous amount ot
money, several times as large as the
whole state tax tow collected In
each state. If tne tariff Is abolished
i th- direct tax must necessarily fol
low, as they must all admit.
However, it is no part ot my pur
! pose to discuss the tariff question in
i this connection, and Ido not intend
■ to do so. Ido not arraign the sena
tor from Kentucky for the remarks
bemide nit in nis speech yester
day; because tbn bill before ihe sen
ate is one to appropiiate money, and
when we are making large appropri
ations it is Very proper to inquire
how we are to raise the money to
meet the abpropriations. It seems
to me, therefore, that it is proper,
if the senator desires to do so, on
every appropriation bill to discuss
the tariff question. I make no sori
oi übiecti iti to it, but simply say
that Ino not desire to enter into
that discussion now, and will not
during the present discussion on the
educational bill.
But as the newspaper slips refer
red to were read and spread upon the
Record, and they reflect the opin
ions or a portion of tny constituents,
I think it just to another portion of
the same constituency that their
opinions on the other side ot the
question should be placed side by
side with the opinions spread yes
terday evening upon the Record.
It happen .'d tnat on me very day
i huse opinions were spread upon the
R ’C' rd here, the s mtheru manufac
turers were in convention in Augus
gusta, G.i., examining this very
question, the question of overpro
duction, hard times, difficulties in
m iking the ends meet, and trying to
arrive ar. sortie conclusion as to what
’8 best to iiextioue. Tney were inter
viewed last evening b, a rep. tier of
the Ouronicle and C institutionalist,
and tt’.e r suit of the interviews is
sumin dup iu the Washington Post
of tins morning:
“The Obrooicle interviews with
members of the convention, show
that the majority of manufacturers
in attendance stand ou tue tariff
plankin tue Ohio t democraticplat
torm,”
as the convention was an impor
tant one, and tue article is short
wmeh describes it, I will send it to
the desk and ask the secretary to
read it>
The Presiding Officer (Mr. Allison
in the coair) —the secretary will read
the article.
The secretary read as follow-:
[The article giving an aec >untof
the action ot the convention having
already been printed iu the Tele
graph and Messenger, it is omitted
here. Senator Brown proceeded as
fol owe:]
Mi. B uwu—Mr. President, as you
will observe by hearing thedocu
ment just read at t e desk, Mr. J. F.
Hansen, of Macon, Ga-., was elected
president of this large arsoeiaiion of
southern manufacturers. Ic is stated
there that, a letter was read from
Piesident Young, of O jiumbus, giv
ing he reusoi s why be could not at
tend. By reference to the record oi
yesterday’s proceedings, and to the
ex facts read irotn tae newspaper bv
the senator from South Carolina,
giving the opinions of prominent
manufacturers that no tariff was
necessary to enable them to prosper
in their business, tue opinion of
President Young is referred to in
very strong t-rms on that'line. He
is a very w irthy gentleman and au
able man ; his opiui ms are entitled
to great weight; but as other south
ern manufacturers do not agree with
President Young, and asJMr. Hinson,
the president of the convention refer
red to, who is a prominent manufac
turer in Macon. Ga., has replied, I
think, with a great deal f Lrci to
the letter ot Piesident Young, writ
ten to Hm. Hngn Bucnanin, of tue
Louse oi representatives, and as the
opinions of President Young, though
not ms letter, are put upon the rec
ord by the senators from South
C.roitnaami Kentucky, it seems to
me it would be nut fair play that the
reply ot Piesident Hanson should ac
company those opinions upon the
r ord. I therefore, without any in
tention whatever to discuss the
merus or demerits of what have been
said by anybody iu this connection,
wiii s tud the letter of President
Hanson to the desk and aek it be
read.
The president pro tempore— The
paper will be read, if there be no ob
jection.
The secretary read as feilowa:
[We have already published Maj.
Hanson's letter, and do not deem it
necessary to reproduce it here. Alter
the better had been read to the sen
ate. the senator concluded what he
had to say as follows:]
Mr. Brown—Mr. Hinson, the au
thor of the letter just read, the pres
ident of the mauutacturing associa
tion of (he southern states, is a citi
zen ot my state. H. is a gentleman
of the highest order of integrity, of
fine ability, of great energy and oi
great usefulness; and as he has gone
extensively into this question in hie
reply to Mr. Young, aud as the opin
ions of Mr. Young were quoted on
the floor yesterday, it occurred to me
it was only act of justice to have
spieadupon the Record the opinions
on the other side of the question, so
that both may go to the country to
gether, That is the only purpose I
have iu view at present, I may at a
future time when the tariff question
is before the senate have some furth
er remarks to make in connection
with it. I do not desire to do so at
present.
REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL

A DISPOSTION SHOWN TO PUT FORWARD
EDMUNDS AND LINCOLN.
New york, April 8. —The republican
conference committee held another
meeting to-day, at wnich Gen. Fran
cis O. Barlow presided. Letters from
prominent republicans throughout
the country were received. It appear
ed from the letters that there was a
strong feeling in favor of Edmunds
and Lincoln for the presidential
ticket. Gen. Hawley’s name was also
frequently mentioned for the second
place. Although Blaine had many
friends they were not enthusiastic,
aud many expressed grave doubts as
to his ability co carry New York, aud
as to r.wuat his policy would be if
elected. It was the general opinion
ot independent republicans that nei
i ther Blaine, Arthur nor Logan were
. men whom it would be safe for the
■ j party to nominate, as the candidate
. ' should have a better record than any
■ of these men. Ic was announced
I that the committee had engaged a

i No instructions wre given or pre
t ferences exnressed other than are
) contained in the platform, although
every mention oi Rmdall’s name by
- the speakers was hailed with cheers.
' THE platform.
The following is the platform:
1. The democratic o rty of Penn
; sylvaria, in state convention, declares
, Its unalterable determination to
maintain those principles of govern
ment ordained bv the federal c nsti
tution, and their interpretation wnich
the founders of the party settled and
made known.
2. We are against centralization,
monopoly, extravagant expenditures,
subsidies and the debasem n of the
civil service to partisan spoliation.
3. We believe that the electoral
fraud of 1876 77, by which Samuel J.
Tilden ami Tnomas S. Hendricks
were cheated out of the offi
ces of president and vice-pres
ident, to which they were fairly
elected, was the most deadly b> w
ever aimed at our system of repre
sentative government, and the outy
of driving from power the men and
party who made shat fraud triumph
ant, is the most sacred obligation
■ ever imposed on the consciences of
freemen.
THE TARIFF PLANK.
4. We favor a tariff for revenue,
limited to the necessi les of rhe guv
erument, economically administered,
and so adjusted in its application as
to prevent unequal butoens; to en
courage productive industries at
home, and afford just compensation
to labor, but not to create or roster
monopolies, and to this end we favor
the abolition ot the internal revenue
system ot taxes, an t such adjustment
of the existing tariff dmies as will be
consistent with these principles.
5. Every legitimate effort of tabor
to better its condition, enhance its
rewards and protect its rights, com
mands the sympathy and support of
the democratic p .rry. The importa
tion. under contract, of foreign pau
per labor is an evil which suouid be
remedied by just legislati u.
The sixth and sev nth resolutions
relate to state matters.
The eight hand hist is as follows:
RANDALL FOR PRESIDENT.
Resoiv-u, Tnat Samuei J. Randal;

Pennsylvania as rhe of

When Money-Orders Will Be Cashed
Postmaster Pearson has issued in
structions to the superintendents and
cli ike employed iu the money order
division of the postoffice that in fu
ture all persons applying tor pay
ment of a money-order must re
quired to prove their identity unless
positively known in the office. In
cases where p a ymen ; is made to tne
wrong persons the money-order
clerk is held responsible for tne
amount. "This decision has been
found necessary,” said Mr. Pearson,
“as a matter ot protec ion to tne
money order clerks. The presenta
tion of forged signatures to money
orders nas become quite common.
Almost invariably a money-order is
gent in a letter that contains the
sender’s name and address, and it is
an easy matter for a person who
comes into tne possession ot the let
ter through dimonesty to forge the
true signature and get the money on
the order. The fact that the appli
cant is able to furnish the name aud
residence of the remitter or to dis
play the letter in which the money
order was sent or is meuiioned can
not be accepted as sufficient evi
dence of his right to receive pay
ment. Where the signature to the
receipt is known to be genu.ne, iden
tification of tue person presenting
the order will not be required.”—N.

A FRENCH TRAGEDY.
TUE MURDER OF A BANK MESSENGER AT
MABSEILLI-CONVICTION OF THEBTBAN
GLEB.
Faris Correspondent London Standard.
1 e case i f the murder of a bank
( messenger at Marseilles was conclud
ed yeso day by a verdict of guilty
iigaiiist the accused, who was sen
tenced to d' asb. The facts display
such premeditation, and -he case has
c us a so much excitement In Mar
seilles—the utmost sympathy having
been evinced for the victim, whose
sum ral was attended by no less than
50.000 people—that President Grevy’s
objection to the punishment of death
win not in this instance, itisanttci
pated, prevent the sentence being
Gained out. The sentence under
which the murder was committed
were an follows:
Ou November 30 last a messenger
ot the credit lyonnais at Marseilles
was f und strangled in an apartment
in tue rue paradis. He had 40,000
francs in his possession at the time
the murder was committed, about
midday, the apartment had been
let ten davs previously to a man call
ing himself Biiu, who said he was a
potter at Aubagoe, and wanted a
small apartment when business call
eu him to Marseilles. The credit
lyonn is found, on examining its
books, 'hat the unfortunate messen
ger had a bill to collect, accepted by
Biin, at, the house where the body
was found. The concoction of this
bill was the ruse to entice the man
into :he h.'use, the assxeem or aesas
sins calculating upon his havings,
large sum in his possession on tne
day in question, i being the last day
of the mon’h. A reward of 10,000
francs was offered by the credit lyon
nais tor tne detection of tne culprits.
Abou - ten days after the murder
was committed a man named Guic
nar'l called at a trunk maker’s in
Marseilles to purchase a portman
teau, and in paving for it produced a
pocket-book lull of bank notes. The
trunk-maker’s suspicions were arous
ed, as every one in the town was on
the qui viv > about the murder, and
betook the precaution of communi
cating with the ponce, who followed
the man to the hotel, and on arrest
ing nim found nearly all the notes
which had been stolen from the mur
dered man in his possession. He
wae immediately arrested, and pre
tendei he had found the money, but
on being further questioned became
mbarrassed. and ended by confess
ing his participation in the crime, ac
cusing an accomplice named Uon
teetin, alias Blin, as the actual mur
derer. Guicnard, in company with
Oontestin. escaped into Spain after
the murder was committed, and
Guichard returned to Marseilles
alone in p ssesslon of the whole ot
tne m inby. No trace ct Oontestin
could, however, be discovered. The
jury found Uontestin guilty without
ex enuating circumstances.
