speeches every morning and the eloquent ora

There is a sharp conflict between the senate
finance committee and the house on the trade
dollar bill The senate conmittee is not dis
posed to favorably report this bill unless the
redeemed dollars are to be considered as part
Of the 81, UO, 600 required to be coined monthly
while some of the members OH the committee
do not desire to pay a standard dollar for O
trade dollar. The vote in the house was SO
large in favor of adding tho redeemed trade
dollars to the silver stock, and not in any way
limit the operations of the standard silver dol
lar law, that tits doubtful if an agreement can
be reached.

Five hundred mormon immigrants are

half Of whom were English and the 9TH
er half Scandinavians. They were &C :
companied by seventeen mormon mis-
sionaries, and Immediately started for

anything that savors of>persecution de.
feats itself. The blood Of the martyrs
is the seed of the church. Mormonism
was never SO prosperous as in it's day OF
persecution, and the same thing may
be said of other limitations. Yet
people will still indulge in foolish talk
about crushing out" this or that set
whose beliefs are contrary to their Cwh.

The Cincinnati newspapers are still
trying to exculpate themselves from the
charge Of netting the late riot, but
they find it a difficult matter. The
truth is, that instead Of the so-called

table newspapers aud respectable pub
lie speakers. Had they exhibited ordi-t
nary common sense there would have
been no riot, Undoubtedly the riot

greatly needed, but shat could have
been accomplished without bloodshed
and destruction Of property. r. -@s'

mously elected to the position and made an
address advocating protective tariff.
Col. L. Bush, of Louisiana, was made per-
manent chairman, and in his remarks also
took high protective tariff ground.

TIE JULY CONVENTION.
Barnum Arranging for the Ma.
tional Democratic Convention.

CHICAGO, May a1.-The Herald's Wash
ington City special says:
Chairman Barnum has been here for sew
eral days making arrangements for the
management of the Democratic con-
vention at Chicago in July. Bright,
the late sergeant-at. arms of the senate,
is to have charge of the management of
all the details of the convention. Great care
is being taken to prevent any packing of the
convention by people not entitled to admis-
sion. The admission tickets are now being
engraved. They will have coupons for the
daily sessions. These coupons will be taken
by the doorkeeper so that there can be no
passing back of tickets to admit friends of
delegates. 1t is also decided that all of the
doorkeepers are to be appointed from outside
cities.
Accommodations are to be given in the
galleries for 5000 spectators. The tickets
for the galleries are to be divided equally
among the delegates for distribution. The
stage will probably afford room for 100
specially invited guests 1t was originally
agreed that these places upon the stage
should be divided among the states accord
ing to the wishes of the delegates, but
Mr.. Barnum has decided to keep
the distribution of these tickets to
himself This has caused some excitement
among the free trade people, who think Mr..
Barnum may put too many heavy protection
people upon the stage. 1t is probable that
some compromise will be arranged. Col.
William R. Morrison is very anxious to have
the question of whether he was right or not
in pushing tariff reduction bill this winter
brought up very prominently at the
Chicago convention. He thinks that Tilden
was the real cause of the defeat of the tariff

CINCINNATI, May 24.-The boot and shoe

men at several meetings have objected to the
employment of non-union men in union
shops at union wages, though they pay the
usual 25 cents per month required. The dis
charge of the non-union men will be asked
for, unless they join the union. At the meet
ing of the arbitration committee next Mon
