A Prominent Indiana Industry in Great
Danger.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-Representatives of
Eastern and Western manufacturing enter
prises are gathering here to urge such tariff
legislation as their respective industries de-
mand, and senators and members are being
continually appealed to in the interest of
constituents to urge this or that change in
the proposed tariff bills. The great obstacle
in the way of satisfactory and equitable tariff
revision and reduction at this session of Con-
gress is the lack of sufficient time The in
dustries of the country are so vast and
so interlaced and interacting that it is
difficult to estimate how far in its general ef
fects unjust or injudicious legi station upon
an industry may affect a score of Others
The work of the tariff commission, while
it is generally commended in its
entirety, has been severely criticised
for crudities and inconsistencies which the
commissioners themselves frankly attribute
to lack OF sufficient time, and the hurried
manner in which much of their work was of
necessity done. If this was the case with the
commissioners who were appointed as ex-
perts and gave their undivided time and at
tention to the investigation of questions
under circumstances far more favorable to
correct conclusions than can possibly be en-
joyed by the ways and means committee of
the House, it is hardly to be wondered at if
the committee, in their efforts to improve
upon the work of the tariff commission, should
fall into greater errors. A noticeable case in
point is the act of the committee in fixing
the rates upon plate glass, which, but for the
earnest protest of Representative Steele,
might have resulted in seriously crippling
if not destroying an establishment of which
Indiana may justly feel proud (the De PAW
glass-works at New Albany After years of
slosz and diseouragenasnts which would have
proved fatal to an enterprise backed by less
capital and pluck, the New Albany works
have at last taken the front rank in this
country, and have earned an enviable repu-
tation in successful competition with the
best products of similar establishments
abroad. When the subject of plate-glass was
under consideration this industry was rep
resented before the commission, and after
thorough Investigation the commission de-
cided to recommend no change in the ex-
listing rates. The ways and means commit
tee, however, for some reason decided to re-
duce the rates 80 per cent. upon all cast pol
ished plate-glass. Representative Steele OBJ
tanned leave to appear before the committee,
and after full argument in which he
urged the retention of the rates recon-
mended by the tariff commission, he was an
swered that the committee would revise its
action.

WITNESS WALSH.


WASHINGTON, JAN John A. Walsh, wit
ness for the prosecution in the star-route
cases, gives Ito the public his unanswered
letter to President Arthur, which letter he
says became necessary, owing to a communi-
cation to the Attorney-general not meeting
with any response. He charges upon special
counsel Bliss the failure to indict United
States Senator Kellogg, against whom Walsh
says his testimony before the grand jury bore
in an especial manner, rather than
against acknowledgement Brady and
Mail-contractor Price, who were indicted,
and recommends that the prosecution of
Brady, Dorsey ct AL be confided to another
than Bliss, and concludes: Such has been
the weak, halting character of the prosecu-
ton, as a whole, that men knew not on
which side the government was arrayed.
Such feelings, doubt and distrust have been
engendered by this vacillation, that, in the
opinion OF many law-abiding citizens, moth
ing less than your active and positive direc-
ton in these cases, Mr.. President will insure
result commensurate with the gravity of
the OCCASION"

Demonstrations at Pere la Chaise.

people are visiting the tomb .. Ganlbctea A
demonstration was made at the grave of
Blanque to-day. About 200 persons laid gar
lands on the grave, and speeches were made.
One speaker protested against the honor paid
to the memory of Gambetta and other mani
festations followed at the tomb by the Fed
erals of 1867 There are many signs of
mourning for Gambetta in Bordeaux Cher
bourg, and other towns.
Pere Hyacinthe, preaching at the Galician
Chapel, said the funeral of Gambetta was
not only national but religious in its charac-

debarred from SO doing in the future,
while a mourning wall will go up
from the neighboring restaurants in
consequence of diminished receipts.
There is one poor soul who
had no complaint to offer. The old colored
auntie who dispensed bread and milk and
cookies under the main stairs in the base
ment. This recalls a story of the former
Secretary of the Interior, Mr.. Schurz. A
countrywoman of the Secretary who was
pealed to him for assistance, and with such
success that he awarded her the exclusive
privilege of selling lunch to the clerks in the
building, and gave for this use space in one
of the lower corridors. At first, however,
her sales were few and benefits correspond
ingly small. She explained this
to the Secretary for the reason
that the clerks passed her by, preferring to
go outside. A few days after general order
was promulgated, prohibiting, under the
penalty, any clerk from leaving the building
during office hours. The effect upon her
business was immediate and wonderful. A
few days before single basket sufficed to
bring her store of eatables Soon it was nee
essary to employ half-dozen assistants to
supply food and drink for several hundreds.
To-day the thrifty German lady owns and
manages two of the largest boarding houses
in the city, beside her lunch business at the
Patent Office.

entire route. The spectacle of a formidable
army of sympathizers, members of associa
tions which followed and acclaimed the re-
mains of the great Tribune and his adversar
les holding aloof and maintaining silence,
caused vague feeling OF uneasiness.
M. Falateuf said the honors paid to Gam
beta were not to the man only, but were
the conservation of the memories of resist
ance to triumphant invasion. They were
mark of gratitude to all who, at Gambetta's
call, had died for their country
Brisson, in his Grafton, dwelt on Gam
bettas efforts to promote repubicanism in
France. He concluded "Let not our grief
be sterile. Over Gambetta's bier, around
which are grouped his friends men of all
parties, representatives of the army and chill
dren of provinces so dear to US, we swear we
will labor to accomplish that union which
was Gambettas prayer"
The Government decided this morning to
accept the responsibility for the speeches of
MN. Brisson, Peyrat and Deves, and General
Blllot. All the other speeches were OF an
absolutely private character. The news
paper, Chat Neir, having utalized the occa-
sion to attack Germany, was seized this
morning.
Gambettas father after mature reflection,
decided not to oppose the convictions of his
son, but has concluded to permit the funeral
at Nice to be civil one.
Reinach, an intimate personal friend of
Ganbetta, publishes a detailed account of
the wound, intended to dispel various falsi-
ties.
Gambetta, he states was trying new re.
volver, when the breech stuck fast, owing to
one of the cartridges not fitting properly.
Holding the pistol by the muzzle, he endeav.
ored to close the breech forcibly, when the
cartridge exploded. The lady who has re-
Gently been prominently mentioned, so far
from being the cause of the accident nursed
him devotedly for thirty-four days
The Royalist papers describe the proceed
ings at Gambetta's funeral as theatrical aud
insincere. The extreme Radical press de-
clare that the people were absent from the
funeral. Republican journals unanimously
testify to the grave, calm and patriotic de-
meanor during the funeral. They express
the hope that the events of the past week
will produce concord among the Republic
ans, especially in the Cham hs1 and that the
sentiments of unity uttered b. the fuuags,
Grafton will last longer than the flowers
strewn on Gambetta's fomb. The Franchise
says it believes the new grouping OF the
majority in the Chamber of Deputies Wis
bring about a parliamentary duel between
Clemencieu and ules Ferry.

The Ceremonies Reported to the London
Press,


LONDON JAN GA Paris dispatch saws the
spectacle there is unexamped From
o'clock this morning traffic has been stopped
on the south side of the river. Deputations
of the special COMMISSIONERS of Police gave
direction to the ever-increasing mass of depu.
tations which came up each anxious, to Sc
cure a good position. From the Place des
Invalides the scene presented was of the
strangest imaginable aspect Above the
swaying mass of crowds which covered it are
banners wreaths and enormous masses ol
flowers, borne on mems shoulders. In the
Rue de l'Universte, from the square up to
the Esplanade are deputations who are un.
able to find standing place in the Court Of
the Paais Bourbon. The whole front oI
the building was draped in black, with
large silver candelabra between the pill
lars, giving greenish flame. A whole corps

point a kind of shudder seemed to pass
through the crowd, and formidable demon.

ia" were raised by the compact crowds as
sembed on the pavement, which were
echoed by the people at a distance. Upon
the railing of.the garden of the Tuileries were
men two or three deep, standing on the
stone-work in attitudes of torture, which
they had occupied for several hours, while
on the opposite side of the railings the mar
row ledge swarmed with others clinging to
the railing with one hand, the other being
Free waiving their hats.
The windows in the Hotel Continental had
been hired at fabulous prices, even thirty
guineas being mentioned. The crowd along
the Rue Rivoli and the spectators in
windows in the fashionable neighborhoods
appeared cold, and much more influenced by
the motives of curiosity than the bulk OF
the populace.
The Times correspondent says it was re.
markable historical event,
All along the Rue de Rivoli flags bound
with Grape were flown, but they were not
very numerous. From the Hotel de Vile
they became thicker, and appeared on every
story The churches were not called on to
share in the celebration, and shut their doors.
The new Hotel de Vile was bare of flags OF
crane, though it certainly would have gone
into mourning had it been the funeral Of
Henri Rochefort, instead of Gambetta. By
the time the end OF the procession had
passed through the Rue de Rivoli, the heaS
was nearing the Cemetery Pere la Chaise,
which was reached at 1:30, when Deves spoke

Genera, BilIot,s Remarks.

PARIS, Jan. 1.-The following is the text of
the remarks made by General Billot at the
grave of Gambetta: "On this day of public
mourning the army deeply afflicted unites in
sentiments of admiration, respect and pro-
found regret for Gambetta, who, amidst O ur
greatest disasters did not despair of the
safety of the country, and was the soul of
national defense, and for General Chanzey,
who was its most glorious soldier. Do not
the names of Washington, Jefferson and
Lincoln shine on to glory in the American
republic like the bright stars in their ban
ner. They, too, were the very soul of their
country"

DAKOTA

Not Likely to Be Made State by the Pres
ent Congress.
Special to the Indianapolis Journah
WASHINGTON, Jan. THE continued op-
position of Senator Hale to the admission of
Dakota as a State will prevent any further
agitation of the subject at this session.
Without his cooperation the Republicans
cannot pass the bill, and it looks now as if
they would be compelled to let the matter
go over The next House will be Demo
cratic, and no bill creating a new Repub-
lican State will be likely to receive it's ap-
proval. The Rep lblicans will have to get
along without any electoral votes from Da-
kota in 1884.
