The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-03-02

On the second page our readers will
find an interesting synopsis OF Senator
Howell E. Jackson's report as a men,
Der of the Senate Judiciary Committee
on the question of Dustin's removal.
It is ably conclusive as to the Presi-
dents position, and leaves nothing to
be desired by the friends OF the admin
istration. The report denies the Sen
ate's power to question the President
as to the matter, and states that he
will not submit to the degrading pro-
cess of catechising which the Repub-
lican Senator'S thus insist upon. 1t
might, had not the dignity of the SEN
ate itself been involved, have
gone further and declared the
truth, that the bubbub about
Dustin's removal is due to the covert
opposition Of some Of the Republican
Senators to civil service reform and
their determination sneakingly to avail
themselves of the civil service law to
retain their partisansin place, whether
fit or not, in order to thwart the Dem
ocratic administration. 1t is mean and
petty business, contemplate and be-
lifting, and disgracefult to the country.
The Memphis appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1886-1890, 1886-03-02

The issue is made up between the
Senate and the President. The Senate,
by its Republican majority, declared
last week that no confirmation will be
made until the demand of that body
for all the information in the hands of
the President as to certain officers
removed is laid before it. Mr.. Cleve-
land, in answer to this challenge, yes
terday sent a message to the Senate,
which we publish on the fourth page,
in which he declines to yield and says
that neither the discomfort of party
friends, the allurements of certain APP
pointees, nor the threat of the Senate,
resolutions are sufficient to discourage
or deter me from following in the way
which l am convinced leads to better
government for the people," The
President in this message makes
plain the purely political purpose of
the Republican majority and fairly
and with cutting irony shows them
that since Andrew Johnson went out
of Office no such attempt has been
made to embarrass the Executive, and
he says almost in words that this at
tempt is due to the fact that he was
elected by party in opposition to the
Republican Senator'S because he is
Democrat.

On the third page we publish this
morning something in relation to the
absorbing interest that the Irish ques-
ton compels on the part OF such lead
ing English journals as the Fortnightlg
the Nineteenth Century, the National and
the Contemporary Revieu. These are
the most significant utterances we have
yet heard on the English side.
Theyproye that the march of events is
rapid, and that English public opinion
is crystallizing around home rule as
measure Of justice too long delayed.
Only three weeks ago the English
press was wild in its threats and
demands for all sorts of repression
and oppression for Ireland, and
the avowal was frequently made
in language bitter, sometimes brutal,
that home rule would never be
granted-that England would again
drench Ireland in blood first. Now
they are not only discussing it as
possibility but probability in the
near future. So great a change and so
sudden one was never before eff
fected in the history of the English
speaking race. God is good to the
Irish.

first, and the directors agreed TO have
all the delegates present to hear the
testimony. Burch is a left fielder, who
played last with the Washingtons.
The Brooklyns and Metropolitans both
negotiated with him at the beginning
of the season. The Metropolitans
claimed they had his agreement to

The West has long had its Standard

monopoly of the age, and now the

and already controls it. On
the sixth page we publish
the particulars as they reached
us yesterday by telegraph from st.

FATHER PoINT, QUEBEC, February
2S.-The phenomenal snow-storm still

thermometer is now below zero.
Snow has fallen continuously for
seventy-two hours, to depth of forty
inches on a level. The roads are

28.-The worst snow-storm for years

although two engines with snowplow
were running about fifteen miles
ahead. Another train is buried in
fifteen feet of snow on Bic mountain,
blocking the line. The accommoda-

can be shoveled or plowed away.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.
TEXTILE WORKERS CROWDED
WITH ORDERS.
The Demand Steadily IEereasing-
Money Plenty at Low Rates
OF Interest.
lsPEcIAL TO TEE ApPEAL.l

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March l. The
5000 textile workers in Philadelphia
and near il are crowded with work.
The demand for all kinds of textile
products will be considerably greater
this year than last, Notwithstanding
the fact that there is an advance in
material from - TO % per cent, and
in some directions from 30 to 40 per
cent. Strikes have been settled in
carpet, silk, turcoman and upholstery
trades, and ten per cent. advance
has been agreed upon, All the carpet
and cloth looms are still busy. Orders
in some cases run three months ahead.
Some hosiery manufacturers are work
ing day and night. The prices are low
considering the advanced cost of ma
terial and labor. Manufacturers com
plain that they are making no more
out of the increased cost than last
year when prices We're lower. The
mills making textile machinery, both
here andin New England, have booked
a good many orders within thirty days,
which seems to indicate that the de-
mand for textile products is steadily
increasing.
Heavy importations of medium
woods from Great Britain and Austria
liza are looked for at New York and
Philadelphia within thirty days.
Manufactures are holding off in con-
sequence, and buyers are little easier.
Fine fleeces are abundant.
The iron trade holds its own, and
an enormous demand is in sight for
crude iron, which has advanced within
two weeks, for merchant bar, plates,
sheets, merchant steel, nails and rails.
The rail makers have sold 100000
tons for 1856, and will meet shortly
to increase the production from the
present limit of l, 100000 to 100000
tons at least.
The builders in Boston, New York,
Philadelphia and several Western
cities have already agreed to accept a
nine hour day, and to-day's advices
from labor sources show that in
smaller cities and towns the short hour
movement has virtually succeeded
more than sixty days in advance of its

will be for the ten hour day, and it is
anticipated by all that the scarcity of
labor thereby created will increase its
value.
The manufacturers of carriages in
the New England and Middle States
report a sharp increase in demand, and
expect to turn out 20 per cent. more
stock this year than last
The papermakers report general
improvement in demand, and a 10 per
cent advance in news, writing and

Heavy receipts of lumber have ar

The Queen of England has had a
nudge from her liege subjects that her
son, the Prince of Wales and her
friend the Marquis of Salisbury, have
advised her to pay particular attention
to. A toast in her honor at banquet
last "Wednesday, was Kissed, and al
though the Atterney-General, who
was present, denied in Parliament
that this was true, it is nevertheless
a fact. 1t is vouched for as such by
the London correspondent of the New

that paper that it was the most con-
spicuous incident of the evening. But

GENERAL WASHINGTON NEWS.
The Hawaiian sugar Trade.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Gov. Bout
well, counsel for the Hawaiian Minis
ter, explained to Mr.. Mills's subcom-
mittee of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, to-day, the reasons why, in the
judgment of the Minister, the recip-
rocity treaty should be continued. He
said that the Hawaiian sugar had been
a benefit to the treaty, and that the
price of sugar had been reduced on
the Pacific coast, although only to a
slight extent. The refiners on that
coast were now in operation, and
would hereafter make enough sugar to
supply that section. Minister Carter
presented a number of tables of inn
ports and exports intended to show
the advantages accruing from
the treaty. Mr.. Searle had said
that the sugar refiners were
not the movers in this case, but
last year the San Francisco refners
sent East $4,000 tons of Sandwich
Island sugar, and with this years crop
would send $4,000 tons. Sandwich
Island sugar is offered in the market
at New Orleans in competition with
Louisiana sugar Representative King
of Louisiana denied that the Louisian-
ans were contented with the treaty,
and said petitions requesting its abro-
CATION had been extensively signed in
Louisiana. The labor system of Ma
waita was equivalent to slave labor,
and in tropical countries free labor
could not compete with slave labor.
If we warred with a section of our own
countryto destroy slavery, why should
we protect slavery in another country?

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March l.-Commenc

of trains is not yet seriously impeded
