We are confronted with the Democratic
party, very hungry, and, as you may well be7.
1ieve, very thirsty; = party without single
definite principle; a party without any dis
tinct national policy which it dares present to
the country; a party which fell from power as
a conspiracy against human rights, and now
attempts to sneak back to power as con-
spiracy for plunder and spoils.-GEo WM

JANIsoH, the coming Polish actress, with
great apparent modesty writes her manager re-
questing him not to advertise her under the title
Of Countess Darco, on the ground that her hus-
bands family would be deeply offended and be-
cause she wants the American people to judge
her by her ability alone Now comes an envious
rival and says this request is of itself neat bit
Of advertising, inasmuch as the lady is not the
Countess Darco, having been divorced from the
Count several years ago. The rival thinks
gJanisch is anxious lest somebody should forget
her rank, else she would have given private or
ders to her manager. Somehow an actress who
sets out to be timid, shrinking creature,
has difficulty in bringing a suspicious public to
her point of view.

Probable Closing ofIron Mills,

PITTsBURG April 19.-The conference of the
Amalgamated Association and manufacturers
this afternoon, contrary to expectation, resulted
in a disagreement. The workmen demanded
that the present rate of wages $3.50 per ton for
pudding, be continued with the exception of an
extra dollar ton for axle iron, which is dropped
and also presented additions and amendments
which it is claimed will increase the wages of
certain classes of workmen from to 20 per cent
The manufacturers peremptorily refuse to ac-
uniform reduction of 10 per cent, which they
claim is necessary on account of eastern compe
tition and the depression in trade. The work
men denied that reduction is necessary and
also denied that their scale provided for any in
crease. The discussion lasted three hours when
it was decided that an agreement was i'm
possible. Both sides profess to be firm in their
position If one or the other does not yield
work will be suspended in all the mills in the
West after June l.

NEW York. April 2O.-At the Aster House,
New York last evening General Thos. J. Brady,
Marine Court Judge T. B. Hyatt, Col Parker
and some other gentlemen INDUCED in political
discussion which wound up by General Brady
kno ckingdown and badly bruisng Judge Hyatt
To-day's Sun illustrates the details of the diff
Guilty thus:
''The debate drifted into an issue as to whether
the retired statesman. Roscoe Conkling, was not
essential to the salvation of the country. General
Brady, who is man of great fame with face
like General Grants and shirt and collar like
Spnola's expressed himself in stentoran tones:
''Conkling is the best man of you all He com
mands more respect than any man in the State. :"
Judge Hyatt did not wholly agree with the Gen
eral. There was tinge of contempt in what he
said about Conkling he thought Conkling's re
tirement from the Senate reflected no credit
upon him. In consequence of these remarks
General Brady took the Judge by the shoulders
and showed him, not urgently, aside from their
companions and endeavored to convince him of
the retired statesmau's merits Judge Hyatt
deemed it necessary to call General Brady liar
or words to that effect 1t is said Of the Gen
eral that he is as quick to hit as he is
to talk On this occasion he
struck first at least. According to all accounts
his fist came in contact with the jaw of the
Judge of the Marine Court in so vigorous man
ner as to send the Judge to the floor In the words
of dsinterested but competent spectator the
Judge was knocked from under his hat" By
the prompt assistance of Col. Parker Hugh
Waldron and the entire party, he was put upon his
feet again, and also, owing to the ntercession of
those gentlemen, further destruction was avoid

become impossible the sole tenure of Office will
be the fidelity of party services, the personal lib
erty of the emancipated people of the South will
become mockery, there will be no free ballot
where slavery existed, and we shall
have saddled upon lis continuation
of the ills the nation has heretofore suffered
under Democratic administrations. Besides all
this. and whatsoever else may occur there is
one result which will be inevitable--that is, the
absolute defeat of prohibition in this State, and
in all probability, elsewhere.
II do not know what the Republican conven-
ton may do, as have not lately paid much at
tention to political matters. But, in my opln-
ion if it shall succeed in separating the question
of prohibition from party politics, and leave 1t,
as the last convention did, to be settled by each
individual for himself as a moral question, 1t
will accomplish all that ought to be expected of
it. This will impose no restraint whatsoever
upon those who may desire, by various methods,
to educate public sentiment up to the ulti-
mate point of prohibition. On the other
hand, it will leave all these methods I'M
interrupted And if, hereafter, by means
of them, majority of the people shall
decide in favor of prohibition, the Republican
party will be in a condition to accept the popu-
lar verdict-occupying the ground, as it will con-
tinue steadily to do-that the people are the only
source of political power, and have the right to
manage their political affairs. 1t will not
be driven from the position that the majority
have the right to govern. But if, on the other
hand, the convention should declare for pro-
hibitory amendment to the Constitution, thereby
making it political question, it will undoubted-
ly be lost and we shall be plunged into a con-
troversy which, with the Democratic party in
power both in the State and the nation, will as
certainly eventuate in free liquor as anything in
Che future.
ut seems to me, therefore, that the advocates
of prohibition who favor the general policy of
the Republican party with reference to national
affairs, can find themselves in proper position
only by cooperating with that party, upon what
soever platform the convention shall present.
And hope you may, after mature reflection,
find in what have said sufficiently convincing
reasons why you should do So"
