1t seems now probable that the Chicago
convention will contain about an equal num-
Der OF delegates for Arthur and Blainc--in
tbe neshborhood of three hundred each
and the balance of power will be held by
the Edmunds and Logan men, with Ed
munds considerably ahead of Logan. In
answer TO The question, Who has the reyer-
shonary interest in the Arthur aud Blaine
strer5th? the Boston Transcript thinks that
1t The Blaine crowd will only open sufficient
iy hard on Edmunds, he will be nominated
without question. His danger consists in
the fact that ne is Indifferent 10 nomina-
'Aod, and his friends do not believe in the
use eli such methods as find favor with tbe
|nNne politician. New York will have
something TO say to the convention which
will be worth hearing, and have great weight
with II, Ii the assemblage really proposes .
Republican triumph.

THE FORT EIGHTH CONGRESS.
The Tarin Debate in the House.

WASHINGTON, d. G, April 80. - The
House went into committee on the tariff
bill Mr.. Dirgley finished his speech Mr..
Hewitt OF New York spoke in favor of the
bill. He said on the issue that representa-.
tlon should correct unjust taxation the great
army OF workingmen was sound and it had
Oeen sound In the last election when it turn
| Ell the Republican members out of their
seats, because in the presence of a surplus
OF more than $1,000 1000 they did no, at.
| tack the problem, but undertook to hood.
wink the people of the country. On that
| issue 1t had placed here great majority of
| Democrats and if by reason of differences
among them they failed to reduce taxation
to the point of the economical adminislra.
tion Oh government then this majority would
be swept away; not on the ground of Tree
trade or protection but on the ground that
10 take Sl6O, 900, 600 out Of the hard earn.
ings OF the people was an outrage and an
| act OF tyranny not to be endured. Mr..
Hewitt claimed that there was stagnatiop
| everywhere IN protected industries. and
hardship and suffering among laborcrs con.
nected with them. In considering the con.
! dition OF workmen he said trade-uuions
were shield and armor and protection to the
workingman, and were all the protection
they needed. But in this country trade
unions were paralyzed by protection They
were at war with each other. Under pro-
tectlve tariff trade-unions must be feeble and
nnany dle. In an overstocked market
win doors opened to foreign immigration
lrade-unions were absolutely powerless,
Workmen had no means of bringing owners
to terms except by their labor associations
and here associations failed every time
MIR. Hewitt contrasted the condition of the
workingmen Of this country with those of
England. The latter, he asserted, had inn
proved steady since the era of free trade. 1t
would not do to have the tariff 20 at once /;
1t would ruin many. Congress had no right
TO inflict this wrong. Reform must be made
slowly. Let duties be reduced but without
ln1uring existing industries.
Mr.. Warner of Ohio objected to the bill
He said it proposed reduction of duties
but did not propose a reform of tariff. lie
though bit reduction would result necessarily
in an increase Of revenue.
The bill was further discussed by Messrs.
Culbers)n, Milliken and Cutcheon. Recess
to 8 o'clock.
During the evening session of the House,
the discussion OF the Morrison bill was con.
tinued. Adjourned.

And all the whisper-haunted forest through

From rustling hazel copse and tangled DELL
Farewell, sweet summer,

Cleaning the latest sweets its bloom can Yield,
And, knowing that their harvest time isoyer,
Sing half lullaby and half knell,
FAREWELL sweet summer,
Honey-laden summer,
Sweet farewellp'
The little brook that bubbles mid the ferns,
Der twisted roots and shady shadows play
Seems fain to linger in its eddied turns,
And with plaintiff, purring voice is saying,
Sadder and sweeter than my song can tell,
Farewell, sweet summer,
Warm and dreamy summer,
Sweet fareweln
The itful breeze sweeps down the winding
lane,
With gold and crimson leaves before it fly

It's gusty laughter has no sign of pain,
But In the lulls 1t sinks In gentle signing,
And mourns the summers nearly broken spell,
Farewell, sweet summer,
Rosy, blooming summer,
Sweet FAREWELL"
So bird and bee and brook and breeze make
moan,
With melancholy song their loss complain

Among the sights and sounds Of summers
waning;
