GAMBErrA's SPEECH.

PARIS, Sept 2O.-Gambetts's speech
at Rouen, on Wednesday, against
ultra-montanism, has created q pro-
found impression in all political cir
cles. The republican papers of Paris
generally give an unqualified adhe-
sion to Gambetta's definitions OF the
party's programme.
The journal Des De6dts, Leon
Says organ, agrees with his objects
but not entirely with his choice Of
means.
The Temps also makes the same
reservations.
The Catholic Press regards the
speech 40 declaration Of war against
the Catholics.
Conservative journals generally

of them express the opinion that Gam

Special Correspondence OF the Tribune
WORCESTER, Mass, Sept. l3.-At
the session of the Hewitt Labor Com
mittee in the City of New York,
among the Witnesses examined were
the Hon. j. II. Walker, President OF
the Worcester Board Of Trade, and
one of the leading boot, shoe. aud
leather manufacturers Of the United
States. He is the senior member of
the great manufacturing firm of
Walker, Oakley & Co., Of your city.
In his testimony before the Com
mittee in August last Mr.. Walker
said he had begun at the bench in lhe
shoe business. When he was 80 years
old he had A,50O which hc had ac-
cumulated. His business now in
Chicago and Worcester aggregated
about ~, 100000 yearly: he made his
leather in Chicago, manufactured it
into shoes in Worcester, and then
sold the shoes ut Western points
Witness, speaking of the state of
trade, gave some statistics fthe ship
ments from Boston, of boots, shoes
and rubbers, which served an exam
pie of some other manufactures of
Massachusetts. In 1872 there were
shipped l,452,OOO cases; in 1874 the
shipments were l15, 900 cases less in
1875 there was an increased shipment
of 5O,O0O cases 1876 an increase of72,-
600 cases and in 1877 an increase Of
237 600 cases. In the present year
there had been q decrease in ship
ments under the corresponding peri
cd of last year of about Isl, 400 cases.
Thus there had been an increased an
nnal shipment of about 25O,O0O cases
since 1874, and witness said it was the
opinion Of the trade that the present
decline of shipments was due largely
to the fact Of the sales of rubbers
not taking place. Yet they believed
the entire manufacture Of 1878 would
show an increase over the previous
year.
The Committee were SO mnch
pleased with the manner in which
Mr.. Walker responded to their in.
quiries that they requested him at the
close of his examination to put in
writing, to be published, as part Of
his testimony before the Committee,
his views upon the various PROPOSE
tions that had been urged upon their
consideration. This labor he has Just
completed, and in view Of Mr.. Walk.
er's close Identification with Chicago's
interests, and the fact that the falla.
cies he therein exposes are as preva-
lent at the Northwest as in the East, I
send you copy of his answers for
publication in The Tribune.

The special Washington cores
spondent Of the Pioneer Press has
this to say with reference TO our rep
resentative IN Congress:
s will venture to state right here,
with a full knowledge, 81 e,value Of
words and their. noeaning,. that Ho-
Face B. Strait, who at present repre-
SCENTS the Second M Minnesota district,
is the most popular man among
Democrats and Republicans upon
the floor Of the house. He antago-
nizes himself to no one. His sound
common sense, aHability and un-
changing good nature has secured
him The respect and good will Of
everyone with whom he has been
brought in contact, not only in
congress but throughout the depart
ments. He appears to work in the
interest Of his constituents, not only
because it is his duty as their repre-
sentative, but because it gives him
genuine pleasure to serve him. I
hope and trust that when the con-
yentlon meets at Shakopee it will be
found that the people Of his district
have humored themselves by sending
delegates there who will renominate
Major Strait and avert the calami-
tous result ola Democrat being elect
ed in his stead

That Major Strait is continual

That Major Strait is continually
working in the interest of his con.
stituents has again been forcibly de-
monstrated. Besides securing the pas
sage of several bills that are OF great
benefit to the people Of this district
he has just secured, through stern
Gus effort, an increase Of mail service
west Of New Ulm, and since last
Thursday the people between here
and Marshall receive daily mails.
The people between Marshall and
the State line will also be glad to
hear that daily mail service will be
put on between those points by the
first Of July. This increase Of mail
service is Of vast Importance to the
people along the frontier counties,
and by his untireing effort to secure
the increase Major Strait has once
more asserted his friendship for the
frontier settlers.

The Democrats are bitterly disap-
pointed at the failure OF their wit
ness Anderson to produce either the
original Or Photographic copy
of Secretary Sherman letter to
Weber. A document purporting to
beacopy fthe letter in question was
read Saturday before the Potter Com
mittee, but the Secretary declares
that he did not write it. Itcontains
nothing which upon fair interpre.
tation can be construed as an offer
to bride Messrs. Weber and An
derson to neglect their sworn duty
as Supervisors. On the contrary,
they are urged to stand firm and
do their duty, and are promised pro-
lection against the vengeance of
their political enemies and that they
will be provided for if compelled
to abandon their property interests
and leave the State. -Lake City Lea

The Democracy favor the nominal
ton of Hon. Ara Barton, of Rice
county, for Congress from the Second
District. It is quite probable that
Maj. 81. b Strait will again be
brought forward for the position.
His services through two terms speak
for themselves IN ringing tones, and
whoever is beguiled into the belief
that the Major would prove weak
candidate for a third term, will find
to their chagrins that his steadfast
friends and supporters are not con-
fined to politicians alone, butinclude
hundreds Of voters, regardless of par
ty, throughout the entire length and
breadth Of the second Congressional
District Renuille Times.

The High Court of Impeachment
is still taking evidence in the Page
matter, and will probably continue
to do SO for week or two longer.
The trial will cost the State from
$4,000 to $4,000, and in the end
will amount to nothing as we think
it hardly probable that the Senate
will impeach Judge Page.
