House..

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-In the house, Mr.
Page, from the commerce committee, re-
ported a resolution calling on the secreta-
~ Of war for information as to whether
the money appropriated by the last river
and harbor bill was appropriated for
works or objects not in the interest of
commerce or navigation, and if so, re-
qaesting that specifications be furnished.
Judging from long conversations tho
members of the commerce committee are
very much aggrieved over the views ex-
pressed by the president respecting the
last river and harbor bill. Some members
go so far as to say they will prepare bill
this year, the recommendations of the
president to the contrary Notwithstanding.
After reading Pages resolution several
amendments we're offered and an interest
ing and exciting debate ensued, the dis
custom drifting off into consideration of
the subject, McLane, of Maryland, and
Robson, of New Jersey, making strong
speeches in its favor, Robson attribu-
ting the strong opposition to it came from
metropolitan newspapers, in the interest
of aggregated capital.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, and Mr. Kasson.
of Iowa, renewed their opposition to the
bill, and members of the house surrounded
the speakers and several times interrupted
them with laughter aud applause.
Mr.. Kasson advocated an amendment in
the phraseology Ct the resolution, contend
ing that the secretary of war could not re-
port that any work was unnecessary, as
every crook was of local importance.
Mr. Horr, OF Michigan, thought Mr..
Kasson's statement OF the case visionary.
Nr. Page said the river and harbor bill
was good thing, despite the fact that
"howling demegogues" had cried it down.
The secretary of war ought to be required
to explain Why he did not send in engin-
GERS estimates for the work of next year.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, in fiery speech,
opposed the resolution. He told Mr.. Page
that the bowling demagogues seemed to
have had & majority all over the country.
The people had set the seal of their disap-
proval on the river and harbor bill. Those
river and harbor bill members who were
not reelected criticised the president Sc:
vereiy for yetoing the last river and harbor
bill.
Mr.. McLane called attention to the fact
that because New York had twenty-seven
feet of water in her harbor, she objected to
the improvement of the harbor of Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Mobile, New Orleans
and Galveston. [Applause.] If there
WAS e veto which deserved TO be over-rid-
den, it was the veto of the harbor bill, by
the honorable gentleman who now holds
his seat at the end Of the avenue. That
veto offered you no opposition to the prin-
ciple of the bill. That veto tells you that
the amount is too great. Whose business
is it to regulate the amount when the prin-
ciple is right? If to improve navigation
and commerce be wise policy, must not

pended? For the president to take no ex-
ception to bill except that we give more
money than he would, deprives him of the
respect which oar judgments ought to
render to him. And the more so when he
follows that veto with an annual message
IN which he tells us that maybe some of the
objects will require further appropriations.
Ii the money has not been expended, whose
fault is it? If the executive has taken il
upon himself not to expend the money.
what excuse can he offer? His statement
that $17,O00,00O is still on hand IS falla.
cious.
MIR. kasson-I understood the gentle
man to blame the president for veto;np
the bill for the largeness Of the appropri-
alton.
Mr.. McLane-That did.
Mr.. Kasson-In other words, the presi-
dent should expend all that is appropri-
ated.
Mr.. McLane- is another question.
I challenge the gentleman to Justify any
president who uses his discretion after
congress has appropriated money.
Mr.. Kasson-I accept the challenge. and
say that I will support any president.
Republican or Democrat, in expanding a.
little as he can, unless required by express
law to expend it. Gen. Grant took the
ground of discretion, and further, that
President Arthur, contrary to the state
ment of the gentleman, vetoed the bill On
the grounds of extravaganza, and because
1t appropriated for objects not within the
constitutional limitations.
Mr.. Cox inquired whether Mr.. McLane
meant to say that representatives from
New York were influenced in their action
by the railroad interests!
Mr.. McLane replied that he had not ad.
dressed himself to that question.
Mr.. Townshend, of Illinois, Atherton and
Others asserted that the papers of the West,
as well as the press of New York, had op-
posed the river and harbor bill, and Mr..
Robeson suggested in explanation that the
great lines of railway ran to Chicago and
st. Louis, and incidentally mentioned
that there were eight railroads in his dis
trict
Mr.. Cox-And then you didn't gel
through.
The discussion, which had been carried
on amid great noise and confusion, here
closed.
Mr.. Kasson, from the committee on civil
! service reform, reported bill to improve
the civil service. Ordered printed and re-
committed.
On motion of Mr.. Epson, of Texas, e
bill was passed to rectity the title of the

The house finally adopted Pages reso-
luton, and after transacting some i'm
portant business proceeded to the consider

The L,uisville Tobacco Trade Ask Con-
gress to Act on the Tax Question Que
Way Or Another.
LOUISVILLE. Ky, Doc. 9.-Ths tobacco
trade of Louisville, the greatest tobacco
market in the world, met to-day and pre-
pared the following statement, which will
be forwarded to congress at once:
The tobacco trade of Louisville, repre-
ssnting the planters, dealers and manu-
facturers of Kentucky and Tennessee,
would respectfully present for the consid-
GRAFTON of their representatives in the
Forty-seventh congress the following
statement: The tobacco trade has been
harrassed for now nearly twelve months
with tho continued agitation of the tax
question, and yet no definite conclusion
has been arrived at. The result is this:
Factories throughout the country have
been closed; thousands of operatives are
without employment, and consequently
without bread. In the face of the large re-
duction of tax or the total abolition which
has been proposed, no remedy of this great
evil can be found except in the promised
settlement of this question by congress.
All through last spring, when the planters
wore marketing their crops, prices were
depressed by the evil, and now. at
the beginning of another year
we have the same condition of affairs. Leaf
tobacco is sold without competition from
home manufacturers, and our planters are
forced to furnish foreign countries with
tobacco at two prices. We would respect
fully represent that actual want and star
walton in one direction and great positive
loss in another is thus forced upon the peo-
pie, not because of the necessities of the
country, but by the indeoision of their rep
resentatives. We would respectfully repre-
sent to you further, that, as trade, we
have cheerfully borne this great burden
of taxation for nearly twenty years, and
that it is our earnest desire, now that the
government is actually embarrassed by
tobacco should be abolished. At the Same
time we feel that your wisdom must de
eide this question, but upon the point of
necessity of immediate and prompt action
there can be no question.
We would further represent that
the trade of this country has already suf-
fered largely from the agitation of this
tax question; that if reduction or total
abolition is made, a rebate should be al
lowed to dealers from such unbroken
stained packages as they may have on
hand at the time such reduction or aboli-
ton goes into effect.

The Price of Beer.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-The Chicago brewers
held meeting to-day to consider the rec
ommendation of the New York brewers
that united action be taken to take off the
tax on fermented liquors. The matter was
discussed Informally. 1t appeared that
some favored the plan, and others thought
the brewers should pay reduced tax. No
definite action was taken. It was decided
to send delegation to attend the st. Lonis
meeting to consider the question of raising
the price of beer to compensate for the
great advance in hops.

lSnecial Telegram to the Globe

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
ELG1N, ILL.,, Dec. 9.-Early in the present
year the political enemies Of John G. Sher-
win, present congressman from this (the
Fifth district, gave it out that the gentle
man was a. defaulter to Kane county, of
which he had been clerk for a term of
years, to no inconsiderable amount. The
story was strongly denounced by the Sher-
whites, and characterized by Mr.. Sherwin
as an untruth. Notwithstanding this
interested persons browsed around among
the records of the county seat, and so sus-
picious were the surface surroundings that
the anti-Sherwin papers charged the ex-
clerk and congressman with defalcation.
The charges, to large extent, prevented
the congressman from securing sought
after denomination, and also caused the
board of supervisors to appoint a commit
tee of investigation. This committe en-
piOyed two expert accountants, and an ex-
haustive examination Of the accounts re-
vealed an apparent shortage of nearly
$500. AT the September meeting of the
board the committee reported the result of
its labors, and at the same meeting Mr..
Sherwin paid over a trife in excess of
81 1000, which sum was clearly traceable to
his hands and unaccounted for. Between
the county treasurer's Office and the clerks
Office there was shortage of 1927 out Of
total of $1,275 received for the year
1875 for fees on delinquent taxes,
sale and judgment records,
etc. Mr.. Sherwin accounted for but 1854
of this amount, claiming that this was the
sum total paid over to him by the treas
urer, and that the latter official was respon-
sible for the 1927 deficit. The treasurer
at the time was Mr.. Henry C. Paddock
cashier of the Union National bank of Au-
rora for number of years, and until his
death, which occurred couple of years age.
Nh. Paddock was always looked upon as
the soul of honor and integrity. In the
absence of positive evidence to establish
this fact, the board was compelled to take
Mr.. Sherwin's statement, together
with the many accompanying it and drop
| the matter as far as he was concerned.
There were no further developments in the
case until Monday morning last, when AS
sistant County Treasurer Charles Cary, in
rumaging around one of the county vaults
for some missing documents found a re-
ceipt to County Treasurer Paddock from
Clerk Sherwin for the full amount of COL
lections on the delinquent tax list for 1875
as shown by the treasurer's books, viz:
S1,275. The matter was brought before
the board at its meeting this week, and
| after the genuineness of the document
had been demonstrated beyond doubt,
Clerk Meredith was instructed to make a
demand upon the congressman, who is at
present in Washington for the S427 forth
| with. The board met again on the Goth
| inst, and if by that time the shortage is
not made good. some action will be taken
immediately

ly, though not very rapidly, and it would
seem to be a fact that if prices were too
high two or three weeks ago on very re-
duced stock, they are too high now under
the liberal receipts of hogs and conse-
quent accumulation of product. The ques-
ton naturally arises, what is the reason
for this change in sentiment? To
one who has watched the trade
it is apparent that values were
forced down recently by virtue of the large
capital and combined manipulation.
Product was sold freely for future delivery
without any regard to its cash, and it is
quite certain that the manufacturers
would haveIlost large amount Of money
if they had attempted to fill their con-
tracts from the packing houses. But the
drop in values which came about as before
noted, enabled them to buy back the op-
tons. and thereby make handsome scalp
It is asserted on what seems to
be good authority, that those who
were largely short some time back
are now largely long. Stocks are
gradually increasing, of course, but not in
proportion to the number of hogs packed
comparatively with former seasons. This
is corroborated to some extent by the fact
that operators are somewhat anxious and
nervous about their outstanding contracts
for this month, fearing that the stocks
may be sufficiently small to be controlled
by heavy operators and the market sub
jected to a temporary squeeze. It should
also be remembered that the so-called anti
corner rule has been abolished, to take
effect with the beginning of the year, and
while not tending to decrease
