The field is now clear for a complete Or
gaAizaton OF the Democratic party, on It's own
principles, without entangllng alliances. It
ought to be clear, by this time, to the duest
mind, that the voters OF Michigan will never
endorse the doctrines Of the greenbackers in
regard to government greenbacks, fiat money
or any other substitute for q sound currency.

We congratulate the Democracy on their delv-
erance from dangerous victory Had they
violated their convictions by their votes for the
sake OF SUCCESS, they would have indicted an
immense injury on the entire party OF the
Union. 1t was well understood by the Ma
tional leaders, that victory this spring in
Michigan would be of advantage to nobody but
the National party, and or corresponding detri-
ment to their allies, the Democrats As the
case stands, we do not admit a Democratic

between the coalition and the Republicans for

About 10000 coal miners are on strike at
Newcastle, England against a proposition to
reduce wages to ! per cent. The strikes of
the past two years must have been OF enorm-
GUS cost to England. Beginning with the ship
builders and house builders OF London, the
mama has ragged with more or less virulence
from John o. Greats to Lands End, and must
have aggregated altogether in the voluntary
idleness that was consequence of 1t, the
equivalent of at least half million OF men
engaged In consumption for SIX months and
refraining from production. IL the empire
were called upon to put an army Of that size in
the field for six months what groan would 90
up to heaven against tue expense, yet the
maintenance OF such an army would cost no
more to the wealth of the nation than these
strikes have cost.

Though ruined and unclaimed my birth,
Though fallen all my prided charms
II ruined, It's but for the earth.

Transnxed upon the death cold dart,

And on Its tide the willow tree;
But when saw my face II fed

The frost hath marked N y bleeding feet.

entire detective force of the city haYe been

of evidence upon which to base their
operations. This afteraooa wholesale ar

night Is intense. The first parties taken
were two sisters, MolIie and Birdie Dalton,
notorious characters, residents of the
neighborhood where the tragedy oaouTred.
Another sister is missing snd the police
are industriousiy searching for her. Lat

a Democratic Caucus to Decide the Work
of the Session

WASHINGTON March 20-A caucus of
Democratic members of the House ofRep-
resentatives was held Immediately after
adjournment to day for the purpose of con-
sidering the order of business and meas
uree to be taken during the present extra
session of Congress. House, of Tennessee,
was chosen chairman of the caucus by bal
lot, receiving II votes against Clymer,
chairman of the former Caucus, who re-
ceiyed Al votes. Covert aud Mills were
appointed secretaries. A resolution was
passed recommending to the Speaker the
appointment of the standing committees.
During the debate on this subject Wood
said that it was proper to appoint the COM
mittees in order that the respective mem
bers of them should study the subjects
which probably they would be called upon
to consider. Knott offered a resolution
with view to con6ning the business OF the
extra session to the objects for which it was
called. Stephens opposed the passage of
the resolution, and said that as the people
were deeply suffering all over the country
there should be legislation on the subject
of currency, the tariff and internal revenue
in order that relief might be afforded them.
lie declared as one of the means of allevi-
alton that he was in favor of abolishing the
internal revenue system, the people being
already taxed to the point of oppression.
Ewing and Bright also severely opposed
the resolution. Wood and all other
speakers favored the resolution, giving
their reasons why legislation should be
confined exclusively to the passage of the
army and the legislative, executive and
lqdlclal appropriation bills. Cox. of New
1ork, moved to amend the resolution of
hnott, by adding thereto a clause pro-
posing the repeal of existing laws to which
they object by the passage of bills inde-
pendent of the appropriation bills, and
sending them to the President, and in the
event Of the President vetoing the bills,
then placing the measures upon appropria.
ton bills, and 10 case he should veto the
appropriation bills, with such legislation
Incorporated in them, that their action be
adhered to until further advised by the
caucus, The sentiment of the caucus
seemed in favor of confiniug the business
OF the session to the appropriation bills
above named. There was no dissent what
ever to the adoption of provisions similar
to those heretofore attached to these bills
namely, the prohibition of troops at the
polls on election days, repeal of the jurors
test oath and the act for the employment
of supervisors of election. The resolution
Of Knott and the amendment of Cox were
not acted upon, but the entire subject, EN-.
bracing the question whether the pro,
visions should be attached to the appro
priation bills or embodied 10 independent
bills, together with the order of business
were on motion of Carlisle referred to
committee of eleven to be appointed BY
the chair, who will confer with a caucus
committee of nine of the Senate and re
port to an adjourned meeting of the caucus
subject to the call of the chairman.

Lively Stock Operations.

The current of recent events has'eiven
great impetus to business in Wall street,
and many successful turns are reported
where immense profits are made in short
periods. The most successful way that
we have heard of yet for operating in
stocks is by the Combination Method of
Messrs. Lawrence & Co., Bankers, New
York. By this system thousands of orders
in various sums are pooled into one vast
capital and operated under the most ex-
perieneed and skillful management, thus
securing to each shareholder superior ad-
vantages and profits, not possible in any
other way. Profits are paid at the end of 80
days. j. Jones, of Boston, make $747. 80
on an investment of 800. Many others
are doing as we'll or better. Capital in
any amount from $40 to 100000 can be
used with equal proportionate success by
this ombination or Cooperative Method.
5 Is would make $75, or FIVE per cent on
the stock; 500 would make 5000. or 9
per cent. during the month, and 80 on,
according to the market. The new cir
cular contains two unerring rules for sue
cess and full information, so that any one
can operate with profit Stocks and bonds
wanted. Deposits received. Government
bonds supplied. Apply to Lawrence l.

LONDON, March 2O.-In the House of
Commons this evening, John Bright sub
mitted question as to whether it is pro-
posed to represent to Canada the impolicy
of war of tariffs between the different
portions of the Empire, and whether it is
true that instructions to the Marquis of
Lorne, Governor General of Canada, for
the first time omitted clause requiring
that bills imposing differential duties
should be reserved for royal approval.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Colonial Secre-
tary, replying to Bright said that only a
telegraphic summary of the new Canadian
tariff had hten received, and therefore he
was unable 20 judge of its effect, but he
had teiegra phed that the government re-
grets the proposed increase in duties
already high. He added the right of the
