try was the subject which occupied the at
tention of the agricultural convention to-
day. The first paper was read by R. Baker

A long discussion followed. participated in
by Mr.. Saunders, of Illinois, and others.
The paper on Breeding and Feeding Beef.
and How to Supply the Market Herewith" !"
was read by Col. Robert Beverly, of Vir-
ginia. The discussion consumed the re-
mainder of the morning session.
At the afternoon session a paper was
read by Prof. Law, of Cornell university
upon ''The Cattle Traffic and Its Relation
to the Cattle Plaques" After the discus
sion of the paper the following
resolution, offered by Mr.. Saunders, of
Illinois, was unanimously adopted.
ResoIred, That this convention desires
to express in the most complete manner
possible, its opinion that it is the duty of
the senate to promptly pass the bill known
as the Hatch bill, house bill S96, which
passed the house in June last and is now
pending in the senate.
ReSOtced, IhaI cOmmltlee OF seven:
members of the convention, be appointed
to bring the importance of the measure to
the attention of the committee on agricul-
tur elm the senate of the United States.
The following committee were appoin-
ted Messrs. Saunders of Illinois; Coffin
of Iowa; Law of New York; Baker of Ohio:
Conrad of Virginia; Gold of Connecticut;
and Grinnell of Massachusetts.

Mr.. Saunders was adopted:
Resolved, That this convention heartily
indorses the action of the secretary of the
treasury ordering and enforcing strict
quarantine of all cattle imported from
foreign countries, and in perfecting ar
rangements by which this quarantine may
be under rigid governmental inspection,
and we urge upon the present congress
the importance of making suita-
BILE appropriation to enable the secretary
of the treasury to continue this work and
maintain a rigid veterinary inspection
and supervision over the same. The con-
vention was then addressed by Mr.. Gaines
on ''Horse and Cattle Breeding" after
whichthe meeting adjourned.

tariff on steel blooms, for instance, is 45
per cent ad valorem. The billIadVances
the duty to &c per pound, which is pro
hibitory tariff. Steel blooms are used in
the manufacture of steel, and it can readily
be seen how oppressive this tax On blooms
would be if the manufacturers of steel
had to purchase the blooms they
use. It places such men practically
at the mercy of the manufacturers Of steel
blooms"
Mr.. Davis is of the opinion that the
present rates on sugar should be reduced
at least so per cent. Mr.. Ryan, of Kan
sas, Republican, says that he is not
hostile to thes bill as whole,
but he fayors legislation for protection
and not for prohibition, and from that
point of view he finds many of the present
bills Objectionable. He is not prepared at
this early day to criticise the bill specific
ally, but he thinks that greater reductions
than would be secured by the bill could be
made without prejudice to the industries
of The country.

DICKSON FREE.

The grand jury refused to find an in
dictment against VIM. Dickson, the fore
man of the first star route jury. 1t seems
the grand jury concluded that the charges
of soliciting a bribe brought
against him were not sustained. His
friends gave him quite a reception. Dick
son, of course, thinks that he has been
prosecuted by the attorney general and
the counsel for the government in the star
route cases. In this connection story is
told tonight that may, or may not, have a
basis of truth. 1t is that the true reason
for Mr.. Ainger's dismissal from the Office
of postmaster of this city has never been
told until the present time. 1t is alleged the
attorney general advised his dismissal be-
cause he would not comply with requests
contained in two letters sent by
the attorney general to Mr.. Anger. One
of the requests was that Frank A. Fall,
who at the time was acting as agent of the
department of justice, be permitted 10
read the letters addressee to Mrs. Howgate,
the wife of the absconding captain. The
other request was that the same agent of
the department of justice be permitted to
read the letters addressed to Thos. F. Brady.

ANOTHER STRIKE IN CHICAGO
The Delivery Clerks Follow the Mes
senger Boys Into the Street.
In st, Paul,

A GLOBE representative called at the
Western Union Office last evening and
found superintendent McMichael busily at
work directing matters, and at times tax
ing key and sending and receiving mes
sages. In response to interrogatories Mr..
McMichael said there was not much
change in the situation locally. The wires
had been in bad condition all day, chiefly
owing to storms between here and Chicago.
That had retarded business much more
than the light working force. He expected
reinfOrcements tomorrow and anticipated
no difficulty in handling business. His at
tention was called to Col Clowry's statement
quoted elsewhere from a Chicago paper,
to the effect that no men would be taken
back unless they renounced all allegiance
to the brotherhood.
''Yes,' was the emphatic reply, 'that is
the policy of the company and will be en-
forced here. That is what was done at
the time of the strike in 1869 or 10. The
men will not come back
unless they sign an agreement
to withdraw from the brotherhood.
The company will not recognize the
brotherhood but will adjust matters d.
rectly with its employees and not at long
range"
''How is it about the pay of the men
who have gone out. Will they have to
lose it,"
'We have simply deferred the payment.
Every man will be paid all that is due
him but just now we are attending to
other Matters
Mr.. McMichael was very positive in his
statement that the company would not sur
render. They were gaining all the time
and were sure to overcome the difficulty
in very short time. They would deal
fairly with the men as individuals but
would never treat with them as a coercive
combination.

DUTT.

Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his
presence with singing. Psalms, c, 2.
"Duty is service rendered; respectful
obedience; loyal performance of obliga-
tion; or that which person is bound by
any natural, moral or legal obligation to
do or abstain from doing Among the
many reasons urged for leading a moral
and religious life, this one is insisted
upon as the most imperative, ''it is duty"
The Bible contains code of laws, and
mankind, as subjects of Gods
government are in duty bound
to obey them, but whenever
duty has been made the ruling motive of
individuals or communities, oppression
and bigotry and self righteousness have
characterized their actions, and the good
they aimed to do has been marred by the
spirit that ruled them.
When the Puritans sat in judgment upon
the Quakers, and heard them plead that
they but followed the inspiration of the
spirit and could worship God only as they
were moved by its divine influence. thew
replied, ''It is our duty to exterminate
heresy," and gave sentence of doom. And
yet the Puritans left home and friends
that they might worship God according to
the dict ates of their own conscience.
William Penn founded his colony on the
principles of brotherly love- lie declared
that it was " a free colony for all mankind"
and his CITY, which he wished to be "a faire
