Gov. CHASE on THE TARIFF.-In a brief
letter, written last October, to Hon. r. r.
Stanly of Ohio, Gov Chase stated his views of
the tariff as follows =
"Surely there should be no disagreement
between Republicans as to the tariff What.
ever may be any mans theoretical views of
free trade, we are agreed that there is no pros
pect of the adoption of the policy ofunrestrain-
ed commercial intercourse by civilized nations
during the lifetime of any of us and no one,
l believe, proposes the adoption of that policy
by the United States without the concurrence
of other nations. Certainly do not. am a
practical man, and wish to take practical
views Of this tariff question, as every other
other avoiding ultraism in every direc
ton know that we have always
had a tariff l know that we have never
had horizontal tariff, unless the Compro-
mise act of 1888 may be called such. | know
that for long time to come, and perhaps as
long as our Unon shall endure, we shall have
tariff. Now, these things being SO, am
clearly of the apinion that tariff laws, like all
other laws, should be so framed as TO do as
much good and as little harm as possible and
l am therefore in favor of such discrimination
as will best secure and promote the interests Of
labor--of our own labor-and the general well
being OF our own people. No man, in my
Judgment, deserves the name of an American
statesman, who would not so shape American
legislation and administration as to protect
American industry, and guard impartially all
American rights and interests"

THE LAWRENCE DIsAsTER-Verd Of the
Coroner's JWy-The evidence taken by the
eoroner'S jury at Lawrence has been so fully
presented to the public that almost every read
or understands why the Pemberton Mill tum-
bled down. Therefore the verdict of the jury
has not been looked for with that interest
which would be felt in it if we did not already
understand the whole case. The disaster was
occasioned by the imperfection of the iron pill
laes and the weakness of the walls of the mill
The jury describe the pillars as "outrageously
defective" Their findings are summed up as
follows -
"Upon all of which several findings the Jury
determine and say that the direct cause of the
fall of this mill was the weakness and INSULT
cheney of the cast iron shCring. That the
thinness of the brick walls, and their manner
of construction, the length of span from one
support to another, beneath the floor timbers,
as well as distance from one floor timber to an
other, were additional causes, and aided in the
general demolition of the building.
That so far as actual defects in the cast iron
pillars existed, the responsibility rests upon
Albert Fuller, the former contracting agent
and foreman of the Eagle Iron Foundry, then
at West Boston.
That upon Charles H. Bigelow, being the
architect as well as superintendent of this
structure, rests all responsibility arising from
an insufficient test of said pillars and from any
and every defect, weakness, and insecurity ap.
parent in and about the general general CON
structon of said building. That the walls
were laid under his supervision that the
timbers and hoorings were in every respect
constructed and located as he originally de-
signed that the inner supports of cast iron,
previous to the erection, had his approval, and
were by him adopted as in all parts safe and
secure that such inspection as he required was
given to the iron pillars, and that any want of
skill in designing, any error of Judgment in
approving or adopting, any want of due care
and caution in properly testing the different
portions of the structure ON his part appear
ing, to that extent rendered him responsible for
the direful catastrophe involving the deaths of
these twenty two human beings"

CITY OF WORCESTER,

mayor Jdll 20, ICOV- }
Dear Sir ON the 14th OF January the citi-
zens of Worcester held meeting at the City
Hail. to take measures for the relief of the
sufferers by the Lawrence calamity. A COM
mittee was appointed at this meeting, at which
l, as Mayor ofthe city, was made chairman, to
receive and forward the contributions of our
citizens for this purpose. Under the auspices
of this committee, S704 so have been collected
in addition to S245 45 previously remitted to
you by the pastor Of St John Church in this
city. For this sum of S704 so, you will please
find enclosed draft upon the Bank Of Com
merce, payable TO your order.
1t has been suggested to our committee that
while the active generosity of your citizens
would not allow any to suffer in your midst,
there may be those who were temporarily res
ident among you, who have returned to Their
homes, wounded and disabled for whose relief
there may be no means directly available. If
you know of any such persons, or if the fam
lies Of any who were killed or disabled, which
are now in want out Of your city, it is our wish
that you feel yourself at liberty to use our con-
tribution especially for their benefit.
Permit me to express through you our deep
sympathy with the citizens of our sister city
of Lawrence, in their sudden and terrible ca.
lamty, and to subscribe myself, with great re-
spect, Your obedient servant,
w. w. RICE,
Mayor of Worcester.
Hon. Daniel Saunders, Jr., Mayor of Law
