Cannon Courier: Col. w. T.
Murray, of McMinnville, delivered
an address on the issues of the day at
the court house last Monday. 1t is
said by those who heard him that
his arguments opposing a high tariff
and the Blair bill were among the
ablest delivered at Woodbury. during
the campaign. Mr.. Murray was a
candidate for congress from his dis
trict, but after more than one hum
dred ballots had failed to nominate q
man he withdrew his name from the
convention that a nomination might
be effected. Had he been elected he
certainly would have been a shining
light in our national legislature.

A PROTESTING KNIGHT OF LABOR.
The attention of the Knights Of Labor
is directed to the following letter which
we clip from the Philadelphia Times of
the 18th inst:
81 enclose you a copy of a circular is
sued by the Republican State committee
which is being sent out to the Assem-
hlies of the Knights of Labor of this
State, intended, no doubt, to deceive
some of our members. The document
does not contain the seal of any Local
Assembly, and therefore the fraud is
easily discernible. 1t is simply scheme
concocted for the purpose of aiding the
candidacy of General Beaver, but as a
Republican. and one who will not see
the order of the Knights of Labor used
for the purpose of aiding a man who
has never shown by his actions that he
is deserving of our support, shall de-
cline to carry out my original intention
of voting for the party candidate. With
the exception of one man Maxwell
Steyenson-I had decided to vote my
party ticket, but since have seen this
circular there will be two stickers upon
my ballot. There are many just like
me in my Local Assembly. The bundle
was consigned to the waste basket, as
the Master Workman refused to allow
them to be distributed. Member of l.,

Mr.. EDITOR: After short vacation of
one week, spent with friends in Buffalo,
Mrs. Cleveland retured on Wednesday
morning, to Washington. She was
accompanied by her friend Mrs Cadman,
OF Buffalo, who will be her guest for
few weeks. The President was at the
depot to welcome his wife upon her
arrival, and the party was driven direct
to the White House. Owing to the
extremely early hour of the arrival of
the train but few curious people had
gathered at the depot, and the party was
spared the annoyance that would have
otherwise been occasioned

as deaf-mute educator. The college at

well known in England that in no coun-
try has the education of the deaf and
blind received such careful attention as
in the United States, and on Saturday
last DR.. Gallaudet sailed for England
upon an inSitation of the British Govern
ment, sent through the British Minister.
to appear before a royal commission on
the education of the deaf and blind. The
President who is eT-Qticio patron of the
Deaf Mute College, at once gave his
approval to DR.. Gilaudet accepting the
invitation, and he expressed great inter-
est ir the matter
Now that the time of elections in the
various states is close at hand the ques-
tion that most perpleXes the minds of the
clerks in the Government Departments
is as to how to cast their votes without
giving offence. The Republican clerks
are especially agiiated, as while their
friends are urging the necessity of their
going home to vote, they fear that by so
doing they would be likely to lose their
places. Many of the clerks who have
not taken their vacations are now apply
ing for their leave, and to conceal the
fact that they have gone to their homes,
clerks have in many instances exchanged
railroad tickets with clerks from other
states, and have shown these tickets as
evidence of their going simply upon a
vacation, after which the tickets are
returned to their rightful owners.
A great deal of fault Is found by the
Washington banks on account of the
recent order directing that the new silver
certificates should be distributed from
the sub-treasury in New York City.
They complain that it is an eXtraor-
dinary business regulation which re.
quires them to ship silver to New York,
and pay charges upon return packages,
when it would have been much more
convenient for them to have deposited
the silNe at the Treasury in Washing
ton. There are over twenty eight hun
dred national banks in the country. and
as each of the banks will be supplied
with 1000 of the new one dollar certif-
Gates, before outside orders will receive
attention, it will necessarily be some
time before the bills will enter into
general circulation.
The Acting Secretary of the Treasury
has called upon the Attorney General
for an opinion as TO whether the oleo-
margarine law imposes a tax on the
different ingredients used in the manu-
facture of oleUmargarine, and also "A tax
on the article when finished, or whether
the law contemplates a tax upon the
finished article only. The decision of
this question will make great difference
one way or the other to persons dealing
in oleomargarine. The new stamps are
about ready for shipment to the collect
ors. The wholesale and retail stamps
contain a vignette of the Treasury
Building, the taX-paid stamp vignette
of a farmer and a mechanic standing
near L. S. shield, and the export stamp
vignette of large steamship with a
view of the Brooklyn Bridge and the

The New York boycotters, sentenced

IN former times, forestallers of the
