EXCITEMENT AMONG SILK MANUFACTURERS

The leading silk houses OF New York and adjacent
cities are much exercised In regard to the proposed
reduction Of duty on imported and manufactured
silks-from sixty per cent the present rate. to nifty
per cent the proposed rate-to which the Com
mttee OF Ways and Means in Congress have been
asked to reauce the tariff. few years since
the manufacture OF American silks was Of very
trining character but in five years it has increased
from So O0O 600 annually to 5000. 900. enormous
increase when 1t taken into account that all the
hands who do the rude work, as well as the women
and mechanics who perform the inner work. have
to be brought from Europe. The American
manufacturers claim that II the present
silks is not reduced the United States will become
great weaving country, and silks for dress goods
equal to any made In Europe for nneness OF texture

Committee on American SILK Manufactures. who
waited upon the Committee on Ways ana Means
few days since at Washington, for the purpose OF
soliciting the committee TO retain the presently duty
of sixty per cent on imported silks, as Its reduction
would tend to rum this branch of American indus

states that the committee VINO went to
Washington did not show any samples OF dress

ribbons scarfs, sashes and such like minor branches
OF the silk manufacture were conducted IN The
United States; while from MIR. Meyenberg's state
ment 1t appears that gros grain silks have been
made here almost equal to the best fabrics known
In Europe, but That the reduction OF the tarif will
compel all American manufacturers to abandon the
field, and throw the 5000 operatives employed IN
silk manufacture on their own resources and leave
them without employment.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Mr.. Hawkins has put himself to unnecessary
trouble In the vain effort 10 sustain his false state
ment In reference to the ground on which the new
ST. Patricks Cathedral stands. Taking an interest
in the controversy and being DESTROYS Of ascertain
ing the facts for myself, visited the Calvary Ceme-
terry Office 266 Mulberry street, and there examined
the copy of the original deeds or titles and the
transcript OF the record OF subsequent transfers OF
the property referred to. satisfied myself by an
examination OF these documents that the property
was not owned BY the city at the time 1t was
last sold and passed into the possession OF its pres
ent propretors. Mr.. Hawkins, or any gentleman
who doubts the truth OF TINS statement, Will, have
no doubt, be permitted to see the papers,
and TO subject them to close and rigid
examination. II Is particularly deserving
OF notice that while Mr.. Hawkins has
done his utmost TO beog and mystiry the public in
regard TO the foregoing matter ne has not had
word to say In reply 10 the very clear and en-
pnatc denial contained In the letter OF the Sisters

A BRUTAL OUTRAGE.

On last Tuesday afternoon MIR. George F.
HabenIcht, grocer residing on South Bay
street, was struck over the head with stick
and knocked down by negro named Harvey
Wilson. Mr.. Habenicht was standing near
his door talking with negro who had given
him some cause for offence, when Wilson
went up and said he would take the negroes
mart. and at the same time began cursing Mr..
Habenicht. That gentleman ordered Wilson
awav. and made slight demonstration to en-
force compliance with his orders, when the lat
ter struck him with the stick. The blow Inflicted
a severe wound in the scalp, which has con-
fined Mr.. Habenicht to his bed ever since 1t
was Inflicted. Wilson had the additional au-
dacIty to take out warrant at Trial Justice
Msckey's Office for Mr.. Habenicht's arrest on
charge of assault and battery. As soon, how.
ever, as the facts became known to hr.
Mackey, he arrested Wilson and committed
him to jail to await the result OF the Injury
received by Mr.. Habenicht.

WORN TO A sHADow.-Flesh, muscle and
mind alike deteriorate when the stomach fal-
ters In its duty and the bowels do not perform
their part as scayengers of the system regu-
larly and naturally. In ch1onic dyspepsia the
body Is usually emaclated, the muscular fibre
loose and fabby, and the brain Incapable OF
prolonged OF vigorous exertlon. Every organ,
every member, even the immortal mind Itself
is to a certain extent dependent upon the
stomach for support. Strengthen and regu-
late this feeder OF the system with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, when 1t falls to perform Its
functions properly. A good appetite, an In
creased flow of the gastric juice, and perfect
digestion and assimilation will assuredly be
the result The manner In which the great
tonic and alternative effects cure of dyspep-
sls, is direct and simple. 1t stimulates the
digestive organs, cleanses without convulsing
