WHEN SHALL THE MARKET BE?-Yes.
terday was the first Monday at the Calver-
ton cattle yards since the Butchers Union
has declared itself against the Monday mar
ket and in favor of Thursday market.
The result may be called draw. The sales
to Baltimore butchers were AGO head of cat
tie, as against $50 head last Monday. Both
the Monday men and the Thursday men
claim the victory. The Monday men are
encouraged by the size of the sales in
spite of the opposition made by the
association, and the Thursday men
feel encouraged because the sales are about
three hundred head short of whas they
were last Monday. They say that the sales
we're forced sales, the butchers being COM
PEELED to buy in order to have meat until
Thursday. 1t was stated at the cattle yards

MOST PEOPLE of ordinary understanding
supposed that when the democrats, after q
quarter of century's struggle, finally sue
ceeded in regaining control of the country,
they would have 80 unified and solidified
their party, and strengthened it, that it's
chances of success in 'SS would be better
than they were in 'S4. But, instead of that,
the President and his Cabinet have been
opposing the wishes of the men who nom
mated and elected the President ever since
the latter was elected, until the party has
become sorely weakened by apathy, if not
by open detection. Some say the Cabinet,
and not the President, is to blame for this
condition of things. That, however, can hard
ly be 30, for those familiar at the White
House say Col Lamont is the power behind
the throne. But though the Cabinet may
be blameless in this matter, nobody except
in derision can call it talented.

Spies Accused of Perjury.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-The Daily Ncus to-
day charges August Spies, the anarchist,
with having committed wilful perjury dur
ing his testimony yesterday. In it's leading
editorial the News says: IF the remainder
of Mr.. August Vincent Theodore Spies tes-
timony is as false as that relating 10 the age
of the bomb he gave to reporter of the
Daily News last January. the whole is as
audacious piece Of perjury as was ever ut
tered in court of justice. The bomb, a cut
of which was printed in the Daily News,
Of January 14th last, was brought direct
from the bands of Mr.. Spies to this Office.
The writer handled it, examined it, and in.
quired az to the circumstances under which
it was obtained, and ordered the artist to
make the cut of it which subsequently ap-
peared in the paper. ANY testimony that
such bomb bad lain in the Arbeitcr Zcituag
office, "about three years" as sworn to by
Mr. Spies, is absolutely and Enthusiastically
perjury. It bore upon its leaden sides the
proof that it was fresh from the hand that
made it. 1t was composed of the same mix.
ture of lead and Tin found in the bomb ex-
ploded at the Haymarket massacre. Such
bombs came from the mold in which they are
cast with rough, dull colored exterior. In
the case of the one given to q Daily -Ncws
reporter by Mr.. Spies this rough rind had
been rasped or filed away until the whole
shone with the brightness of newly cnt
metal It's sides bore the traces where the
teeth Of the file had bitten into the metal.
For any man TO pretend that bomb bear
ing such alpaDle evidence of recent manu-
ractu.c had been knocking about in an an.
archist newspaper office for three years is to
insult intelligence. When he goes further
and swears to such preteIss he commits
wilful perjury"

ALEX ANDRIA.
TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 10.

THREE DAYS before Congress adjourned
Mr.. Kelley. one of the leading republican
protectionists in the House, published in the
Congressional Record speech on the tariff
bill, in which he said, referring to that bill :;
SIT is posthumous offspring of the con-
f.deracy of insurgent States, the ascendency
of whose spirit in this House and the ad-
ministrative departments Of our government
Jefferson Davis recently celebrated IN the
midst of displays of popular enthusiasm,
which elected from him the significant ex.
clamation, You are confederates, and l love
Won for it, Y AS substitute for the
Morrison bill we have one prepared, so far
as it relates to customs duties, by five repre-
sentatiyes of the confederate States referring
to Messrs. Mills, of Texas; McMilin, of Ten.
nessee Harris, of Georgia; Breckenridge OF
Arkansas, and Breckenridge, of Kentucky /,
four of whom served faithfully in the con-
federate army, and to the fifth of whom the
fact that he was 90 young that he could give
but his sympathy to the cause for which his
senior colleagues fought is cross that ne
will doubtless bear through life.
After diligent investigation and patient con-
sideration have been unable to discover
any other reason for their appointment to
the Committee of Ways and Means than the
known devotion of each ofthem to economic
dogmas the attempt to give constitutional
sanction to which invoked the war for the
Union and all it's bloody consequences"
All of which looks very much as if the re.
publican protectionists of the city of broth
erly love, who continuously send Mr.. Kelley
to Congress still entertain an affection for
the South and her people that does not sur
pass the love of women.

-IORT, BUSY SESSION.
Con gress Ready to B gin Work
Without Delay.

WASHINGTON, Dec. AT the first
blush of the session members of the
House come in with the idea that they
are going to do considerable work dur
ing this short session. Those who
want TO reform the tariff are particular
ly eager and energetic. Each man who
has his pet project hopes to get some
action on IL. Some of the old heads
predict that there will be no legislation
TO speak of this winter beyond the pass
age OF the appropriation bills. Others
equally as old and wise say that as IA
matter of fact there is more chance for
work during short than long seS-
sion, and they expect to he very active
from now until the 4th of March. A
great part Of the long session is wasted
in committee work. Now this work is
all done, and everything is ready to go
ahead with. The Ways and Means
Committee men are bOuud to have a
tariff fight. The strong position taken
by the President on that question has
given them new courage. They insist
that tariff for revenue only must be
the cry. Straight issue must be made,
and all who cannot stand under that
banner cannot march in their lines.
They were meyer more determined.
I hey will start the fight almostat once.
The committee on Public Lands expect
to get some of their measures through.
The committee on Agriculture will try
TO pass the department of Agriculture
and Labor bill, and expect to succeed.
1t is already a special order, with but
40 minutes debate pending on it, and
that at the disposal of the Chairman of
the committee, Mr.. Hatch. He said
to o-day that he expected to get about
four-ifths of the votes OF the House for
it. Mr.. Crisp expects to get the Union
Pacific Railroad Extension bill through
the House among the first things, and
Mr.. Reagan expects successful issue
of the conference on the Interstate
Commerce bill. The committees on
Coinage, Weights and Measures, and
on Banking and Currency, expect legis-
latlon upon matters of finance. Alto
gether the members haye come back
free and ready for work, with no fear
of a campaign before them.

THE almost certain choice OF State
Treasurer Quay to the United States
Senate, now that the Democratic, as
we'll as the Republican counties are
quoted as indorsing him, will leave a
vacancy at the head of the Common
wealth's exche1uer. How this is to
be filled and by whom is a subject OF
query. The manner of filling the Of
flee is explained by section 8 article 4
of the State Constitution, which pro-
vides that the Executive shall nomi'
nate proper person to the Senate to
fill the vacancy, this body having the
power of confirmation. The section
also provides that person shall be
chosen at the next general election to
fill the Office, unless the vacancy occur
within three calendar months immedi-
ately preceding such election. AS a
State Treasurer would have been
chosen anyhow in 1887, the term be-
ing but two years, the calling of Quay
to higher honor will not necessltate
extra convention work. Who his
successor will be is matter within
the breast of the Governor-elect, Gen
eral Beaver. Quay's active competi-
tors for the nomination in 1885 were
Ex-State Senator Jacob Ell. Longen-
ecker, of Bedford, and James A. Nc
Dewitt, of Lancaster. formerly of Pitts
burg. the latter a chum of Chris L..
Magee's, with whom he used to make
"mnd-pies" in his boyhood days. Nc
Dewitt is hardly widely known enough
to receive the call for the appointment,
although Magee will undoubtedly
press him before next summers con-
vention for the place. AS in the late
Congressional struggle in the Seven

er was unsuccessful, it is presumed he

PRESIDENT Cleveland's message,
which was sent to both houses of
Congress on Monday afternoon, is q
production Indicative of broadest
craftsmanship. We are only sorry that
the columns of the JOURNAL do not
afford the space to give the document
in full. The President discusses the
vital national questions in sections
be ginning with full explanation of
the relations of the United States
with foreign countries. A summary
of the receipts and expenditures of the
Treasury Department is the next item
of interest in as much as it plainly
shows that under q Democratic ad.
ministration the service has been done
honestly and economically. On the
tariff question he takes a firm and
unmistable position and lays down
plans which if followed can not fail to
bring about reform of the present
unreasonable revenue system,a reform
which the whole country demands.
He denounces in plain terms system
which unnecessarily draws millions
from the people annually at the cost
of their industry and business enter
prises and advises a speedy change.
He touches upon civil service reform
and his remarks in that line give no
uncertain sound. He is determined
to stand by his former promises
and declares that reform
of this kind is an absolute necessity.
He also recommends rapid process
of training and educating the Indians,
pointing out the fact that civilization
and barbarism cannot exist together.
In short the message covers tie
ground in every respect, gives val
liable advise and suggests remedies
for existing evils.
