A Coed BeglnmlmG.

The Democratic National Committee met yes
terday and organized by the unanimous election
of Mr. William H. Barnum. Of Connecticut, as
Chairman. and Mr.. F. o. Prince, OF Massachu-
setts rs Secretary. A committee was appointed
to consider and report plan for the work of the
present canvass consisting of seven members
Mr.. Dawson, of South Carolina; Mr.. Barnum. OF
Connecticut; Mr.. German. of Maryland; Mr..
Miller, of Nebraska: Mr.. Smalley, of Vermont
Mr.. Kelly, OF Minnesota, and Mr.. Villas of Wis
consin.
The State Committee met on Wednesday In
Albany and placed the name of Eugene Kelly
ON the ticket as candidate for electOr al large In
place of Mr.. Purcell, resigned
Thus far the Demo Gratis have made no blum
der. The selections could not have been more
iudicious. Mr.. Barnum has experience to guide
him. Mr.. Prince is an able organizer and an in
duential man. Mr.. Eugene Kelly's name will
add much strength TO the electoral ticket
From these beginnings we have right to ex-
meet a vigorous canvass. Nevertheless, we
shonld IKE to see mere energy and eafnestness
in this city Why have we bad no great ralifi
cation meetingI Are the Democratic leaders
thinking more about she arrangements they can
make In their municipal affairs than shout the

1t is worthy of notice that the Senate, which
is controlled by Republicans the alleged friends
of the workingmen, at the last session OF Con-
gress did not even consider the bill passed by
the House to prevent the importation of laborers
from Europe to this country under contract
The Republican party has always pretended to
be very solictous about the comfort and welfare
Of the workingmen. 1t supports protection
tariff more for the benefit of the workingmen, it
says than OF the protected monopolies. Even
the great manufacturers of Pennsylvania declare
that they want tariff chiefly to enable them to
pay workingmen better wages How insincere
the Republicans are is shown by the practices of
the iron and coal men of Pennsylvania, and by
the course pursued by the Republican Senate
The protected mOnopoes of Pennsylvania have
imported thousands OF Hungarian workmen un
der the contract system and have discharged
American wnrkmen TO make room for them
The Washington Star announces that firm has
been organized in that city to import European
laborers under the contract system. The firms
idea is to supply laborers at low rate to rail-
road contractors, and contractors of any kind
who have contracts for the performance of any
work which requires large number of working
men, These imported laborers will, of course,
come into competition with American laborers,
and will not only lower the rate of wages, but
will deprive American laborers Of the means of
earning living. That the Senate did not pass
the labor contract bill is good reason for saying
that the Republican party is much better
friend of the monopolists than 1t is OF the work
ingmen. Is it not about time for the Republican
party to posing the workingmen 8
friend! Its lnsincerity and hypocricy ought to
be- and no douot are, pretty well understood by
this time. 1t has always been a friend of the
! rich rather than of the poor. During its long
lease of power it has done more to make the
rich richer and the poor poorer than any other
party since the foundation of the government.
II is time that it was compelled to appear in its
true character. The workingmen ought to un
derstand by this time that the Republican party
IS not the workingmen's friend. II they have
any doubts about il they will have their doubts
removed during the campaign.

TELECRAPHIC NEWS.

George n. Nelson, desperate fellow
living near Wolf Butte, Idaho, was shot
and instantly killed recently by Joseph
Hanna. Nelson, who was very quarrel
some, drew pocket-knife and made a
rush at his wife, saying he would cut
her heart out. She managed to escape
from the room just in time to save
herself Seeing Hanna near, Nelson
became furious, saying he would finish
him as his wife had eluded him, made a
dash at Hanna, who retreated, but
being pressed by the desperado, drew
pistol and sh; t him dead Hanna sur
rendered Immediately. Public senti-
ment justifes the deed.
J. Yates, living on Derry Creek, W.
T., made a murderous assault on his
wife Saturday. He knocked her down
with revolver, drew his knife, and
would certainly have murdered her, had
not her two sons come to her rescue aud
overpowered the scoundrel. The
woman is severely injured. Yates Is
in custody charged with assault to CON-
init murder. Public indignation is
aroused, and there is strong talk Of
lynching.
The body of a man was discovered
in the slough at Portland, short dis
tance below the city. Nothing was
found on his person by which the re.
mains could be identified. He appeared
to be about forty years old. A rock
weighing forty pounds was tied around
his waist to belt, and the body was
lying in only eighteen inches Of water.
No marks Of violence were found on the
body, and every indication points to a
deliberate case of suicide.
The jury in the sensational breach Of
promise case OF Miss Jennie Clarns
against William Doran. at Portland,
Oregon, returned a verdict in favor of
the plaintiff in the sum of 200. The
jury was out over forty hours. The
plaintiff sued for $4,000.

some Democratic Epithets.
From the Chicago Herald.

From the Chicago Herald.
II she sentiment expressed by the
Democratic newspaper of the country
with two or three exceptions, may be
ia ken as an indication Of the feeling In
the party concerning the hostile action
of the Sam Randallites on the Morrison
bill, it is evident that it Is going to be
a big job to preserve the peace in this
city when the July convention assamb-
les.
No such factional bitterness has been
shown in either party for a generation,
and tho wars between the stalwarts and
halfbresds Of 18S0-S1 appears like idle
pickering in comparison. The bark Of
the political party dog Is invariably
more terrifying than the bite, but
things are being said now which will
not be forgotten. Such epithets as
'sneaks," towards" "deserters," paid
agents Of m~onopOlist,"' "loatksome cor
ruptionists," idiots" and what not, when
applied to pugnacious fighters like Ran
dali and his followers, are not calculated
10 Increase brotherly feeling or enhance
the prospects Of success Of the party
thus divided against itself.

74av.S.. ,gressman Mark s. Brewer Of
gpnnfi.. ., present United States consul
ao.srai ~ nr,'rlin, has furnished the
state danartumsst a schedule of wages
of nschauics and costs OF living in
Berlin. The statement has been the
subject Of considerable c0mm0ns IN the
recent tariff debate and has s%erious,s'
interfeled with some of the remarkable
figures given by free traders In their
speeches. Mr.. Brewers Information
being official is entitled to weight.
Mr.. Brewer says that nearly all the
neeessaries of life cost as much In
Berlin as in New York, Wooden
sznd linen goods, boots, shoes and
tlOthiAg generally are cheaper. All
mechanics work from liz to 10 hours
a day. Stone cutters earn 81 % per
week, glass cutters 81 80, brass founders
Al rs. file cutters So 90, tool smiths $3 81,
working 10 hours a day }; mouldsrs
Al 90. masons 81 IA, carpenters 81 SO,
painters 81 80, and 80 on to the spd.
These are the highest priced wOrkmen.
Apprentices get from 81 Sc TO 81 q week,
and labOring women in the mechanical
trades get from 81 80 to so IA. Women
in Germany perform labor which In the
United states is m~0nOpOlizsd by the
strongest men. The list Of prices of the
standard articles Of food given by Mr..
Brewer show that subsistence costs
about as much in Berlin as in Washing
ton. Wheat flour is S. to $6 par 100,
sggs % cents.p per dozen, butter 81 to 80
cents Der pound, beef and mutt on, for
roasts, II to 20 cents, pork 16 to 20 cents
Der pound, q pound loaf of bread 10 to
l2 cents. black bread (rye) about half
price of wheat bread. This bread Is
preferred by very many among the
wealthy classes. and is universally used
by the laborlng classes. The German
lah0ting people spend less for living
thau the laboring people in the Uniteb
States; but necessity has taught them
to be nero economical. After looking
at Mr.. Brewers price list no n will be-
surprised to learn that 20, GOO Germans
leave their native land and come to The
United States every year.

The Cleveland Leader makes a vaula-
BILE analysis of the vote on the Morrison
bill. Out of 26 representatives from the
New England States, II, being more
than four-ifths, voted to kill the bill.
Out of % votes from New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware,
SO voted to kill the bill and Is to further
consider it.. Out of SO votes from the
Western States, 60 voted to kill the bill,
and 3S. of whom 4 were Republicans, to
further consider it. From the Pacific
States there were 5 votes against the
bill and 3 votes for it. But from the
Southern States there were only 20 votes
to strike out the enacting clause and 81
votes against, Out of 155 votes cast for
the bill, 81, or more than three-fifths,
were from the States lately in rebellion
it was, in fact. the most thoroughly Con
federate measure which has been up
in Congress since the rebels returned to
their seats in that body, and fully de-
serves the remark made by Ex-senator
Eaton, of Connecticut, in the House,
that that body acted more as ii it derived
its power from the COnfedela ate Con-
stitutiOn than as il it conceived itself
to be acting ander the Federal COnstitu-
siOn.
The States of Maryland, Virginia, West
Virginia, and Florida were equally d.
vided, thus showing a healthy growth of
tariff sentiment among their people.
only Oaethird of the Louisiana Represen-
tatives voted against the Morrison bill,
and Kentucky, South Carolina, and Miss
issippi each gave one vote against 1t.
Texas gave her solid ten votes against it
as Georgia and Alabama gave their sew
enteen. In fact. the Southern States
voted very much as if they were oppos-
ang protection on strictly Confederate
grounds, because they saw in it q policy
which tends to gil the North with pop
ulatiOn, wealth, and power. and so to
render each year more hopeless any effort
the Southern leaders may make to revive
the lost cause,
