CHICAGO, June THE Daly Neus
says "Abram :. Hewitt arrived on sun.
day with "a tariff plank for the national
platform. Although he arrived at late
day ho created as much stir as did Henry
Watterson when he established his head
quarters at the Palmer house. lIewitts
resolution was of conciliatory nature aud
seemed to meet tho approval OF several
Weatern tariff reformers but 1T was not
sufficiently positive in its declaration
against protection to suit the reformers OF
the most pronounced type.
During the day a conference was held
between Hewitt, Manton Marble, Smith,
Weed and others at which IL was decided
by the opponents Of the Watterson school
to reject the Hewitt resolution in part and
TO unite on plank similar to that adopted
in Ohio. This will not suit tho extremists
in favor Of free trade, and tariff fight will
probably occur over that plank.
Tsnmsuy sitter Against Cleveland.
The TammaDy delegates held five
hour caucus last night aud adjourned at
a. m. The sentiment was unanimous
agaiDst Cleveland. Shortly after midnight

The California delegation held dy,
hour session last night. Information was
laid before them that Tilden would moi
accept the nomination, unless rendered by
acciamatiOn, and even then would prefer
not to receive it. The delegation thereupoI
decided TO vote solid for Thurman.
why John Kelly is opposed to cleveland.
Tho Times prints an interview with Johr
Kelly in which no says New York doe,

gard CIcveands nomination very much
in the light Of party suicide, auc
hoped it would not be done. While hI
would DO all in his power, il Cleveland
should be nominated, he would feel tha
the cause bad been lost. The labOring
classes cannot be made to support Cleve
land. His vetoes of bills, which were ia
their interest, have killed him politically
and they regard him as an enemy, not as a
friend. Tammany fayOrs Flower, BayaIt
and Butler, anyone Of whom could be
elected.
When asked directly if he would support
Cleveland, if nominated, Kelly replied hC
would not lift hand for him. When
asked if he would oppose Cleveland
Kelly said 'you can print this a;
coming from me. | would not oppose
any Democratic candidate, but | will no

Cleveland, il he is nominated could no
afford TO. He then went on to argue tina
Tammany's strength is based on labo
votes, and they coull not be swung fo

The crowd gathered together on mill

One North Carolinian got after half

"What religion is most common about

Still she did not seem to understand.
"Are there many Presbyterians about

PROGRESS IN AGRICULrURE.

The Committee on Agriculture, to
whom had been intrusted the query
from Indiana " Are We advancing in
agriculture ?" reported that they had
spent seven weeks in investigating the
matter, and were quite really to answer
in the affirmative. Among other in
stances of progress in agriculture might
be mentioned that Of hoeing corn. A
dozen years ago the plan was to lean
.his Ice against stump in the hold and
20 off fishing. 1t is now done by CIV
ing q chattel mortgage on three steers
and hiring q neighbor to do the work.
Ten years ago turnips were heaped up
in the barn or cellar and supposed to be
food for only cows and calves. To-day
they are carefully wrapped in tissue pa
per, laid in bureau drawers and are con.
sidered fit diet for even Senator.
When wiped off with dish-cloth and
scraped with butcher knife, they furn'
ish o very bracing and enervating diet
Progress had been made in blowing
dragging, reaping and many other par
ticulars, and the committee felt safe in
saying that the time was not far distant
when farmer could sit in an armchair
in a lager beer saloon and raise sixty
bushels Of wheat to the acre.-Proceed

SCARCITY OF LABOR IN FRANCE.

While in Germany tens of thousands
are emigrating from want of work, il
certain parts of France land under cult
walton is lying waste from want OF hands
TO do the labor. In the Cote dor the
price of manual labor is so excessive that
farm lands, and even, so we are assured.
vineyards, are for the time being uncul-
hvated, so great is the difficulty of pro-
curing day-laborers There is, moreover,
