down prices by importing all you need-thst
will give you work and send wages up"
At this point the managers got into q dis
cussion on the propriety of using the JefTer-
son picture as painted, one of them taking
the ground that the American suit should BIO
covered up with new British suit as more in
con sonanco with the democratic idea. JEFF
forson was an old fogy. He never saw Wells.
He believed that employing an American
tailor helped homo industry. Now 1t is
known that importing ready made articles
is what promotes home industry. Why should
an old fogy's notions control any longer3 So
the discussion goes on and the audience waits
but it hears the voice of Mcdonald repeating.
"These goods are remarkably cheap, gentle
men," and there is an echo of bygone voice
which says, after all, the tariff is local
issucr

Mr.. ALBERT FINK, the pool commissioner
employed by the great trunk railroads, is OF
tho opinion that his employers had better
be lot alone and that congress will only
make mess of it if it attempts to put any
brake on the rapacity Of those who are en-
gagged in interstate commerce. 10 thinks
that If congress must do anything it had bet.
ter create commission to make
report at some future time
Other railroad employees and attorneys
think that there mo such thing as commerce
except by water, aud that, therefore, congress
cannot touch the subject. Still others arc
very sure that it is q matter for the states to
regulate exclusively. Indeed. there is moth
ing they arc so sure of as this, except that
when the states are appealed to it is quos-
ton exclusively for congress to deal with on
account of its interstate character, And so
they will continue to fool US to tho top of our
bent to the eud Of the chapter. The people
may nudge congress a little by aud by-say,
al some election.

who distributed blocks of the McGarra-

speaker was more particularly after White
law Reid that Reid was in this thing
whatever that may have been that the ex-
speaker had tho documents oil him, and had
on certain occasion showed them to William
Walter Phelps as stakeholder Of the Tribune,
and notified him that If certain attacks did
not cease tho Tribune stockholders would
have to shoulder the responsibility of these
letters of Reid. BY all means, let Col. DE Haas,

Don't you be Mt all surprised" said the

Senator Daniel w. Voorhees, ia not the next
nominee of the Indiana democracy for gov

"What is new in that fight? Hasn't
Brother Holman already got n sure grip on
the nomination."
There's where you are wrong. Gen.
Manson and Col. Gray arc running like
quarter-horses, and it looks to mo at this
juncture that compromise will have to be
effected finally"
Doesn't Voorhees, say that he can't and he
won't accepts"
"Oh, yes; but he will If his party demands

GEN. BUTLER thinks the workingmen of
the country had better exercise their in
fluence upon existing political parties both
of which he thinks need much mondng, as
leach is as bad as the other, and the other is
as bad as the one" They must make their
demands so loud that party managers must
heel them. The general says he is out of
national politics, and that even in his state
he also is out of politics. That would seem
to he pretty clear definition of his position.
He can be a dark horse in whche, CT of the two
partie i most sensitive to the pressure OF the
workins p 3oplc. He thinks there is to be a
renewal Of the sectional struggle between the
north aud south, founded upon the failure Of
tn, civil rights bill. The old mans sense
never leaves him.

Death of Col. Morgan.

Col, Robert t. Morgan, for many years past
the discussing clerk of the state department,
died yesterday morning at his residence. 2033
p street. lie had been for some time past suffer-
ing with liver complaint, but his last illness
was but week in duration.
He was born In Oswego, N. Y, in 1923, and
graduated from Union college law school in
lS43. He served throughout the Mexican
war and the rebellion and was promoted to a
lieutenant colonelcy for meritorious services
At the close of the war he accepted the
Office of disbursing clerk in tho state depart
ment, which place he filled till his death.
Surgeon General Wood, U. S. N. His remains
were carried to Oswego last night for inter-
ment. Ho was well liked for his sterling
cast Of character, fearless and honest in his
expressions of opinion, and of an integrity
highly commanded by his superiors.

-CoSGREseMAN WISE, of Virginia, made a
very wise suggestion to his fellow ex.confedcr-
ates in congress Saturday when he said that he
thought it unbecoming in them to undertake
to participate in the Fitz.JOhn Porter contro-
versy. The question of the fidelity of a
union general to his cause is before congress
ON an appeal from court-mGrtials finding of
twenty-one years ago. 1t was brought for
ward by the friends of Gen. Porter, and not
by his enemies. Forex-confedcrates to decide
the question against the former decision
would carry no conviction, but would rather
confirm the popular idea that those who
heard the testimony arrived at the proper
conclusion.
