does not think that there Is time this session
to consider the question. lie will introduce
bill to abolish the marshal system.
Mr.. Eaton. of Connecticut, thinks there is
no time this session to make judiclous re-
ductiOn Of the revenue.
Mr.. Mitchell, OF Connecticut. q reforme7
says the tariff should not be touched this
session. The appropriations and routine
matter will take all the time thcre Is.
APossIBLE BLArgE RECEPTION.
Some of Mr.. BaIne's friends have been
considering the expedienry OF giving him a
public reception upon bis arrival here Sstur-
day, and there seems to be a difference Of
opinion as 10 the effect Of such demon stra-
tion. II is held that's public reception at
this time would be in extremely bad taste,
even assuming that Mr.. Blaine is willing to
be party TO it, which is by TO means GER
tain. The probability is that no such dem
onstratiou will be made.
GOING TO NEW ORLEANS.
Postmaster General HattOn and Secretary
Teller leave here next week for New Orleans
in a special car placed at the service Of the
former by the railroad company. They viii
be absent about two weeks, and b. present
at the opening of the cotton exposition.
WANTS = RETURN TO SIMPLICITY.
"Richehru'' RuhiDson has prepared a reso-
lutiou which he win offer on Monday. pro-
viding for return to the simplicity OF the
inaugural ceremonies as practced by JefIeI-
son. 1t prohibits the erection o:
triumplal arches and a display Of bayonets
in Washington on augurauOn day, and
PRO, ides that the chief justice shall call upon
The president-eect and accompany him either
on foot or ia plain carriage drawn by not
more than two horses and without dccora-
tions or livery to the capitol, where he snail
take the oath aud address such citizens as
may be there TO hear him.
WHISKY LEGISLATION.
Talks with parties here pretty familiar with
the plans Of whisky manufacturers OF the
country lead to belief that they will ask moth
ing at the hands Of congress this year, hav-
ing been so thoroughly unsuccessful last
session as b. think it unwise to even agitate
the subject this winter.
THE SUGAR QUESTION.
Reports on over production Of sugar in
Europe continue TO reach us here. The state
department has just now reports from quite
number of It's representatives abroad,
which confirm a statement made in these
dispatches some days ago TO the effect that
beet sugar was being placed on the markets
of london and New York at ruinousiy low
prices.
Consul Mason. OF Marseilles, writes: ''The
system Of bOuntirs TO the sugar refining in
dustry inau guratcd In Central Europe. and
particularly in Germany, while II created in
these countries a new aud important branch
of industry, led 10 an excess of production,
which, being far in excess OF the wants Of
consumption, had the unavoidable result of
subjecting the price 10 q constant depres-
sion."
Commercial Agent Smith writes from
Mayence, in a general letter, on the com
mercial and industrial condition of Ger
many: "SuSar is ialing yery mach in price,
great deal Of money having been maue in
The sugar industry by the pioneer manufac-
turers. Sugar factories have sprung up rap
idly all over the EN- pire, and too many persons
are now engaged both as manufacturers Of
OF sugar and cultivation of it. The result Is
that sugar is being sold at remarkably low
figures, and a general break will doubtless
soon take place among the youngest and
weakest concerns"
Consul Keifer writes from Stettin: ''The
considerable over production Of beet sugar
has depressed prices SO much that
many manufacturers are in a pre-
carious state, If they do not succeed
in bu nu fhp hos afa oha
making more favorable contracts with the
farmers"
With fine sugar selling in London at three
cents per pound, the president recommend
ing the renewal of the Hawaiian treaty which
admits sugar free, the Mexican treaty admit
ting sugar without duty likely to
be confirmed, and another treaty
admitting Cuban sugar unmolested
with tariff, the sugar growers OF the south
will feel that there is no hope for them save
TO turHetheir sugar plantations into orange
groves or cotton Geds.
BEN PERLEY PooRE's coMBusTIBLEs.
The gathering Of congress brings many =
man with stories of plans based on the re-
cent election aud blasted. One Of the most
commiserated victims is the veteran Ben
Perlcy Pocre. Somewhere up among the
Massachusetts, hills Maj. Poore has farm,
where he lives when congress is not
in session. To his neighbors he Is.
if not political oracle, the source to which
they look for reliable political intelligence
Following an election, the eyes of the sur
rounding country are turued toward the
! highest hill on Maj Poore's farm. On that
hill there is tall flag staff and great heap
OF combustib.es. 1t hss grown 10 be the Gus
tom that, when there is a Republican victory,
Maj. Poore shall hoist the flag If the determin-
ing news comes by day and shall start bis
bonfire if the looked for information is re-
eeived at any time during the night.
II had piled up heap of stuff twice as biz
as this room,n said Maj. Poore, referring to
the spacious apartment Of the senate com
mittee on printing. ''We waited Il whole
week in the hope OF a Republican victory,
but the time never came to start the fire.
The heap is there yet, and guess will let it
remain until 1883.
