BRITAlN'S REALM.
THE IRISH REIGN OF TERROR.
The Premier Vigorously AssaiIed-
An OFaeular ReplY-A Fortified
Magistrate.

DUBLIN, April e.-Mr. Smythe, the West
Meath landlord, who, while returning from
church last Sunday with some ladies, was
fired at, but who escaped while one of the
ladies was killed, has written letter to Mr..
Gladstone, in which he says: "Your prac-
tical adhesion to the principle that force is
no remedy in the case of irish savsgery has
eliminated in making 1t easy for Land
League assassin to murder my -sister-in-law
at MONDAY. / lay the guilt Of that deed of
blood at your door In the face of the whole
country, supported as you are by no-rent
members of Parliament and their press and
some of the Irish bishops. The terrorism
existing under the protection of your police
Is so tremendous that 1 know
there are but few who would ven
ture to denouDce the assassins had
they seen them. Were they to do so their
lives would be entirely forfeited, while the
prisoners would almost as surely escape
after the farce of trial by jury"
Mr.. Gladstone, in replying, assured Mr..
Smythe of his heartfelt sympathy, and is
confident that Smythe will readily under
stand whv he does not notice his charges.
Major Trail, resident magistrate, writes
from Clairmorris, county Mayo, recommend
ing that certain death shall be the penalty
OF all attempts at murder. He saws he has
often been threatened, and has been warned
that his assassination was not only planned,
but actually paid for, but he defies the assas-
sins. He draws a remarkable picture of
the state OF the country. He says he never
travels without an escort of two armed
policemen and an armed groom, together
with Winchester rife and revolvers and
shot-guns. OF the party there are twenty
five rounds that can be discharged In as
many seconds, with thirtv-four in reserve.
His escort search all the plantations, hedge,
etc, on the route, and the neighborhood of
his house is patrolled all night by an armed
guard, who are provided with dogs to aid in
the search for explosives and assassins.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
SATURDAYS SESSION OF THE
HOUSE.
The Tariff Attacked and Defended
M. Allen. OF Missouri, Deadlock
WharIOnss Successor.

WASHINGTON, April SIN the House, in
his prayer this morning, the Chaplain touch
inglY referred to the death of Mr.. Allen, Of
Missouri, and invoked Divine protection
upon his family.
The House then, at 1910 Qn accordance
with special order). went into committee
OF the whole for the purpose of debate only
on the tariff commission bill.
Mr.. Muldrow concluded his speech. He
was opposed to the proposed bill, because
it was procastination. 1t delegated work to
other hands to do which ought to be done
by Congress. He criticized the action OF the
protectiOnists In regard to internal revenue,
whenever, and only when, there was danger
OF reduction of taxation. They made war
on the internal revenue system. They were
then moved TO great sympathy for the South.
But while they wanted to remove the tax on
whisky and tobacco, they proposed to in
crease 1t on cotton ties He believed that
the voters Of the country could not always
be kept In ignorance of the unnecessary
burdens thew bore under the present pro-
tective tariff. He cOntended that Of all the
industries of the country agriculture suf-
fered most from its operations. Represent
ing an agricultural people he could not
consent to vote for the bill, the object of
which he believed was designed either to
continue indefinitely the present cruel sVs-
TEN, or to recommend another more obiee-
tionable aud oppressive.
Mr. Brewer, of New Jersey, advocated
continuance OF the system of protection as
proved by the prosperity of the agricultural
aud manufacturing interests OF the country.
The committee then rose, and Mr.. Frost,
OF Missouri, announced the death of his
colleague, Hon. Thomas Allen, of Missouri.
He then offered resolutions Of regret, and
for the appointment of a committee of
seven Representatives and three Senators
to take orders for experimenting the fu-
neral ceremonies, which were unanimously
adopted.
The Speaker, in accordance Herewith, an
nounced The appointment of the following
committee TO attend the remains of the de-
ceased TO Pittsield, Mass: Messrs. Hatch,
Frost, Robinson of Mass, Gunther, Chal-
mers, Mills and Aldrich.
The House then, at 1:45, out of respect to
the memory OF the deceased, adjourned.

Protection and Wages.
NeW York Times.

That wages are, as a rule, higher in
this country than in England is perfect
ly truel and that they are still higher. as
compared with those on the Continent
is equally true; but that they are higher
as a consequence of our protective tariff
remains to be proved. 1t does not fol
low that because the tariff and high
wages have existed together the latter
are due to the former, because there was
a long period previous to 1879 when we
had the same tariff and had very low
wages, with much suffering from want
of work. Wages are determined by a
great variety of causes, no one of which
is controlling. So far as the effect
of the tariff can be traced it is rather
to lower effective wages-that is.
wages measured by what they vii,
Tuy-than to raise them. The protection
extended by tariff, if there be any, is
in checking foreign competition and en-
abling the home manufacturer to get a
higher price for his goods; but as he
must sell in the home market, this differ
ence in price is paid by home consumers.
If they pay it IN the price of goods, they
cannot use it to employ labor, and the
effective demand for labor on their part
is therefore lessened by Just SO much. If
the difference paid by them to the manu-
facturer is used to employ more labor,
the demand may be the same as it would
have been had the consumers EMPLOYED
the labor themselves; but it is no greater.
So far as the tariff, therefore, has had
any effect on labor, it cannot have ad.
Vanced wages.

A Medium Speaking for Garfield
No,r VorL. T.,b,,.,o

The announcement that the late Jas
A. Garfield. through the mediumship of
Mrs. Cora L. Y. Richmond, would speak
on ''Light from Beyond the Vale" last
night, drew together in the Masonic
Temple an audience of about three hun
dred persons. Many of those who lis
tened, and certainly the medium herself,
appeared thoroughly to believe that they
were listening to spirit from another
world, and hush fell over the audience
during the delivery that made the occa-
sion resemble a funeral. The speech
consisted of general reflections on death,
immortality the welfare of humanity,
and the progress of the race toward the
ideal of brotherhood. Many of the SEN
timents were poetical, many eloquent,
and all true and instructive. But
they were no more than an
echo of what Mr.. Garfield had
said in his lifetime, cast into smooth,
well balanced sentences. 1t was such a
speech as any person of literary attain
ments might construct after reading Gar
fields published gems of thought. Much
of it consisted of generalities that needed
no genius to utter. That ''the kingdom
of Heaven is within u.s." that spiritual
existence is an opening out into higher
life, that it brings with it a conscious
ness of earthly imperfections-these
were some of the reflections which Gen.
Garfield, if he uttered them, must have
learned in Sunday school. 1t was no
ticeable, also, that he must have dis
carded Worcester as an authority on pro-
nunciation as through the medium he
said municipal and ''patriot" He
also said that there were sixty millions of
people In this country, a large increase
since the last census. This was the only
clear cut revelation of the unknown
made during the evening.
But the speech, if it was Garfeld's.
was not more remarkable for what it said
than what it did not say. Beyond some
generalities about the torch of liberty
and good government, no living issue
was touched. Nothing was said about
the present phase of the Chill Peruvian
contest; nor about the anti polygamy
law; nor about the Chinese immigration
bill. These were all subjects in which
the late President took profound inter-
est, and yet he Tor rather the meGium)
spoke an hour and quarter last night
and never made the slightest reference to
them, in the face of the statement in the
beginning of the speech that he was
deeply interested in everything now hap
pening in this country The spirit lee
ture closed with prettily worded pre-
diction that Americans will be the sons
of Hermes, and that "for the most of
our inspiration we will be indebted to
the dead who are lowering around us
and telling US what to do and how to do

An Ingenious Machine.

Mr.. Malone Wheless, of New Orleans.
has recently invented very ingenious
machine for reporting, by which he
claims he is able to report over two hun
dred words per minute, the words so re-
ported containing all the vowel and con.
sOnant sounds. He has so arranged the
language that any combination of sounds
can be instantaneOusly produced by the
mathematical permutations represented
on the instrument The reading of the
record so made is not confined to the ora
tor alone, as in stenography, but any one
who is familiar with the table by which
the instrument is operated can readily
translate any report produced. he not
only claims superiority over shorthand as
to speed, but as to the perfect accuracy
with which any one can report The
mathematical combinations are so inge-
niously arranged that no two permuta-
dons can ever represent the same sound.
Mr.. Wheless, who is also an expert in
telegraphy, claims that the speed of
sending telegraphic messages by his in
vention can be increased from fifty. the
average number of words per minute, to
two hundred, and with as great accuracy
as is attained by the present system of
telegraphy. By the use of the machines
so constructed, a speech taken in Con-
gress, for instance, can be transmitted to
New York, or any other distant point, SO
that party at the register in New York
will be able to read the speech while it is
being spoken in Washington. Mr.. Whe.
less has been employed at shorthand
some ten years, devoting the past three
years to the construction of his inven-

THE LAWRENCE STRIKERS
Resolve not to Return to Work at
the R reduction.

this evening voted almost unanimously not
to return to work on the opening of the
Central Pacific Mills on Monday. There
were two dissenting votes. The meeting
was largely attended and 500 votes cast.
Notwithstanding the mill will sart up
Monday, and many believe that at least
half the striking help now in the city will
return to work. The mule spinners, how
ever, are determined not to return nnder the
reduction. OF twelve hundred weavers In
the city only about two hundred have signi-
fed desire to organize Weavers' Union,
and the movement will probably fail

ayers OF the Pacific Mills that enough help
will be on hand at the tower mill tomorrow
morning to start at least one thousand
