Ex-GOV. K. d. Morgan died at his resi-
dence in New York city, on Monday,
aged 72.
Two weeks from next Sunday, this
Congress expires. 1t will go over Mia
CARA leaving mighty mass of unAnish-
ed work.
Lumber that was put on the free list
in the Senate was changed to 20 per
cent ad valOrem. This pleased the SEN
atOrs from Maine, Michigan and WiscOn-
sin.
The year 1883 will be ever memorable
as the year Of casualty and disaster.
Human life has been swept away like
chaf, by shipwreck, fire, flood and rail-
way accidents.
1t is estimated that ten thousand men.
women and children, have been driven
from their homes In Cincinnati into the
icy and muddy streets. Most of these
are labOring people.
Wool growers should ask themselves
why wool is only protected by 80 per
cent. tariff duty and wOOllen goods,
generally, about so per cent Our farm
ers should think Of this.
The Republicans have good working
maiOritieS both In Congress and in our
State Legislature, and yet they charge
all their sins of commission and Omis-
sion to the Democratic minority. Oh,
stuff
1t is said free lumber failed In the
House, because OF bargain between
the lumber lOrdsand the metal (irOn and
steeD mOnOpOlists. Oh, for a jackson
in the White House to veto all plunder
schemes.
Congressman Flower. Of New York,
In late speech says we have already
al Tn mil xf Ho
money In premiums, In buying our
bonds In open market. This policy he
condemns.
A river and harbor bill has been in
trOduced. 1t Is not quite 80 big a steal
as that passed last session. Which goes
to show that there is nothing like a
good drubbing to get little decency
beaten into the Republican party.
Congressman Mckinley and the 9th
or protective" members Of the House.
voted against letting farmers trac
chains come in free Of duty. These fell
lows want the monopoly lords to con-
tinue to hold the farmers In "the chains
Of slavery" and robbery.
WOOd-pulp monopoly Miller, Govern
ment ship builder Roach, and others
favored like them, with monopoly, de-
clare protective tariff a fine thing, fine
for the country, good for the labOring
man, etc. There Is no doubt 1t is fine
thing for the millionaire mOnOpOIistsl
In 1889 about thirty thousand people
lived In Cincinnati. There are now on
both sides of the river near four hundred
thousand people. At that time there
were neither gas works nor water
works to be submerged. Hence there
was not near so much trouble. High
water does not affect cisterns or tallow-
candies
The river and harbOr bill has been re.
ported. The Ohio appropriations are as |
follows: Ohio river, $250,000; Ashta-
bula harbor, 5000; Black River harbor;
$75, 600; Cincinnati harbor of refuge,
SIC, 600; Cleveland harbor, 1880; Fair
port, $4,000; Musktngum mouth, 5000;
harbOr at Port Clinton, 5000; at SAN
dusky, $4,000; at Toledo, $500.
Blair's bill in relation to the incorpor- |
alton Of National Trades Unions, pre- |
5ented to the Senate, provides that any /
trade organization having two or more |
branches in the States or territories /
shall be entitled to receive from the Il
United States Courts charters as Ma |
ional Associations, under such name as L
map be selected, with power to sue and /
liability to be sued, sc.
Eight out Of thirty cases Of Babylon
ian antiquities recently forwarded to i
The British Museum, have Just been i
opened and examined. Their contents L
consist chiefly of tablets, in most cases
broken, aud relating generally to trade
and TO property In land, slaves, &c. 9th
srs relate chiefly to King Eebuehadnez-
Ear, and serve to confirm the Bible i'm
preston of him as great king. A num-
Der of figures and statUettes are also /
in the cases, and from them il
would seem that the type of beauty in
Babylon, AS In Central Africa at the
