evening, with prospects of a grand

We are sorry TO see the injustice
that is being done some person on
account of their progressive ideas.
We refer to the case of Mr.. Benjamin
Webb, one of the founders of the
Young Bachelors Club, on account of
his speaking for the future aoelfare of
this organization re was expelled, on
the ground that he was Of dissent
ing spirit, and the club did not wish
any dissenters with them. We are
sorry to see such old fogyism among
a set of young men, supposed to be
of progressive ideas, and we venture
to say that the club will see their
error after it is too late. The only
thing that Mr.. Webb objected to was
the manner in which business of the
club was conducted, there being a
lack of parliamentary ruling among
the members of the club, and on his
desiring to do business in the right
way he was expelled.
A grand calico leap year reception
was given by the colored private

sisted by Messrs. r. L. Edwards, w.

Arrested for Stealing Baggage.

1t is the custom to store unclaimed
satchels and valises in the depot masters
office, at the Harrisburg station of the
Pennsylvania railroad until it is disposed
of finally. Recently several satchels and
yalises have been taken away, and De-
tectives Abe Roat and VIM. Cilley set to
work to catch the thief. A number of
decoy satchels were placed in the room,
and a strict watch was kept, but the
moment the detective left the spot one or
more of the satchels would disappear.
Yesterday Mr.. Roat's suspicion narrowed
down to one man named George W.
Newberry, baggage master, and SO GER
tain was he that he had the right man
that he took Newberry into custody and
placed him in Jail. Mr. Roat then went
to Philadelphia and searched Newberry's
house, finding six of the stolen satchels.
With this evidence he came home last
evening. and Newberry will no doubt
be given trial in the Dauphin county
court.

PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS
Unanimously Oppose the Morrison Tariff

WASHINGTON, March 28.-The vote in
the Democratic caucus ON the endorse
ment of the Morrison bill demonstrated
some curious features, if the action of
some of the parties present represented
public sentiment in their respective con-
stituencies. Pennsylvania was the only
State which gave unanimous Demo
cratic vote against the bill. New Eng
land, with all its manufacturing industries,
gave four votes for the bill. New York
was about evenly divided. Louisiana,
withstanding the effect of the bill on
sugar, gave three votes for the bill. The
Illinois and Kentucky delegations voted
solidly with Morrison. The free trade
feeling was strongly in the ascendancy in
the West and South, the Protectionists
having but scattering vote i'll those sec,

WEST CHESTER.
Something About the People and
Their Business Interest.

Probably one of the handsomett
little towns in the State is the little
Quaker settlement of West Chester.
1t is not only handsome, but consid-
eripg lis small population of seven or
eight thousand inhabitants and the
encouragement of manufacturing en-
terprises by the sta:d and quiet Qua.
ker element, which controls the Dor
ough, it has as much business 10 the
square inch IS many town twice its
size can boast OF. The only large
manufacture here is spoke factory,
which employs from one hundred TO
a hundred and fifty men. The other
branches of business of the town con.
sist Of legitimate tradesmen occupied
in the various mercantile business
known to other places. Hotels are
in abundance Among them is the
Magnolia House, kept by Mr.. Hep
burn, a colored man. The house al
fords excellent accommodation and
receives liberal patronage. The
leading restaurant of the town is kept
by Mr.. James Spence, who has won
an enviable reputation as a caterer
and caters TO the gastromiC wishes of
the best epicures in the town. Mr.
A. Brown and a. M. Dobson both
keep first cl4ss restaurants and receive
liberal share of patronage. Mr.. A.
Bass does thriving boot aud shoe
business, and is highly respected
throughout the borough. One of
Chester's most successful residents is
Mr.. A. NJ Dubson, ST., gentleman
who by stiict attention to business
has amassed snug fortune OF $25,-
900 or $4,000, and has the satisfac
ton in bis declining years of retiring
from business and rejecting upon a
we'll spent life. Much of the ad
vancement of the colored people OF
Chester is due to the interchangeable
efforts cf Mr.. Dobson In insisting
upon proper recognition for his
people. He is man of broad and
liberal views and does not believe
that mans color is bar to his sue
cess. He believes in push and clear
grit as a means to final success.
Another successful business man is
Mr.. Isaiah Smith, who has evinced
much push and energy. We have a
voting population here of four hun
dred, and we never lose an opportu-
atty to make our strength lt,among
those who stand in high respect
among all classes of citizens. Here
might be mentioned J. G. Gadman,
Harry Berry, Robert Moore, George
Smith, II. VIM, William Thomas,
A. G. Wilson, Samuel Hardy, Mr..
Liverman and Mr.. Fry the last named
gentleman being the agent and cor
respondent of the STATE JOURNAL,

eagerly sought tor by our citizens, as
it meets a long felt want. TIE Jour

The Republicans United, Notwithstanding

WASHINGTON, March 2o.-A desperate
effort is being made to have 1t appear as
If there were tremendous split in the
Republican ranks on the tariff question.
Dilieent inquiry has shown no such ten
dency in any direction. The whole story
originated among the Democratic leaders,
in favor of free trade, who have been
claiming that they would gain enough
Republican votes to offset the excess OF
their own boilers above the number re-
ouired to defeat the BILL There is prac-
tically no detection in the Republican
ranks. About eight or ten Western Re-
publicans imagine that they strengthen
their position before their constituents by
touching lightly on the tariff, but there
is no evidence that they will not oppose
the Morrison bill. XII

How the Warning Democratic Factions
Regard the Caucus.

Regard the Caucus.
WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The irresist-
ible tendency of the American legislator
to ''fire off his mouth upon all and every
occasion has been fully demonstrated in
this Morrison free trade business. The
caucus having put new phase upon that
measure by proving that it would be met
with more opposition within the Demo
cratic lines than was ever imagined, it
was supposed that the interest in the bill
would quietly subside. 1t now appears
that the caucus has bad "A duplex effect.
The Morrison men claim that the caucus
having endorsed them, they arc now free
to go ahead. The Randall men claim
equal endorsement, in that they were at
liberty to act with regard TO their own
convictions and the interests of their con-
stitucnts. 1t is proposed TO discuss the
bill, and the time fixed is after the Indian,
agricultural and pension bills are out of
the way. 1t is believed that this point
will be reached early next month. There
is no doubt that the discussion will be
lively, and the champions of the opposite
views within the Democratic ranks will
have an opportunity to ventilate them
selves more freely and fully than they
did in the caucus. X.

u seems that the leo companies included tho
District Government In their combination for

Treasury Department were rejected because
they were considered too high, being AZ cents
per hundred.
Now, the price paid by the District for their

Inquired why tho District should pay such
large price for It's leo when they tako several
hundred pounds per day.
Mr.. Beckett stated that IL was because there
