The President lately received rather
/ interesting letter from Mr.. Gideon j.
( Tucker, OF New York. Some of those
who read Mr.. fuckers letter viii say
nat be is a crank, others that he is crazy
for notoriety, aud stll others that be is
an honest man. Perhaps MIR. Tucker
doesn't care what is thought of his letter
provided he believes that in writing it he
acTed SINGER ly and conscientiously.
Whenever fifty or a hundred miles of
road OF the land grant railroads are COM
pleted it is the duty Of the President to
appoint commissioners TO examine it and
report whether 1t is built substantially
and in accordance with the agreement
the company has with the government.
somehow or other the sections 10 he COM
pleted are finished about the time that
cold weather begins. The reason Of this
doesn't appear, unless it is that the com.
missioners are likely to make less care
iul inspection than if the weather were
pleasant. Anyway, the commissioners
generally have good time. and il any
one OF them ever reported against road
the fact has been forgotten.
Mr.. Tucker read in the newspapers
that the President had selected him 10
examine and report upon one huudred
miles OF road constructed by the Oregon
aid California Railroad Company. With
out waiting for a comm ssion be wrote to
the President declining the appoint ent.
In the course OF his letter be said: "By
such inquiry as have been able tn make
I n;
vided for IN one OF those laws by which
corrupt Congresses have in late years
given away to railroad capitalists vast
tracts OF lands belonging to the American
people, SUBJECT to favorable reports when
made to the President by commissioners
named by him TO examine completed
roads. My training and avOcations have
not especially fitted me for such eXami-
nations, and il is doubtful whether my
EMPLOY ment in them would be
beneficial or satisfactory to the public.
But have further reason for declining
the office. An examination OF this kind.
| am told, is TIRE ated as a sort of entertain
ment given to the commissioners by the
officials OF the road subjected to the ex-
animation. Free rides in palace cars, free
quarters at hotels and hospitality which
is at he same time generous and selfish
are commonly extended. A favorable re-
port, however just, les under the impu-
Ia ton OF having been purchased. On the
other hand, the commi ssioner " no would
refuse all tavore cannot more than earn
the expenses OF ordinary travel.'
MIR. Tucker saw peither honor nor
profit in the appointment and like wise
mau he concluded not to accept it. There
are plenty of men, however, occupying
quite prominent places in society who
are ready 10 be entertained by the COM
pany with a sort of taclt understanding
that the inspection is a mere matter of
form

1t is stated that on election night, when
The President became satisfied that Judge
Peckbam, who was at the head Of the
Democratic ticket in New York, was
elected by fair majority, he retired for
the night satisfied that his adm Illustration
rad steadily aimed in popularity ever
since its inauguration. The President
carried New York by only about 1000
plul aliiy. Judge Peckham carried it by
about 10000 majority, although his oppo.
nent, Judge Daniel, is one of the most
popular men in the s,ate, and, it is I'M
derstood, had largely the support of the
labor vote.
Those who are anxious to show that

as it was hen be was elected, and Gle

and Republican administrations have

necessary TO go into the reasons for this
condition OF affairs.

Although the protpcIonlsts are claim
. ing that they won a great victory over
the tar e ref"rmers in the late G ngTes-
/ slonal elections, and in support of their
/ clam loInt to the defeat OF Nj ssrs. Nj or
! rson ana Hurd aud the reduced D. mo-
cratic majority In the next House of Repre-
sentatives, it is noticea BILE that they have
nothing to say of the fact that the proper
tion Of Democratic rar Il reformers elected
TO the next House Is larger tnan it is in the
present House. Why is this: II the
proIectionists are anxious that only the
truth snail be k own, why do they con-
ceal this imp rtant TACT? While 1t is
true that the Democratic major ty is re-
dnced, and that two very conspicuous
tariff reformers were defeated, it is not
true that tariff reform received a set
back, or that projection scored victory.
The tact that the tariff reormers are
stronger in the next House than in the
present one shows that tariff reform and
not protection scort a victory.
Both Mr.. Morrison and Mr.. Hurd say
that local causes and the money of the
great protected monopolies secured their
NN4Sats anu " ~ 10 lbGlt W uO 10 DIGHdI
t. denv that his statement is true. They
are both men of high character and would
not knowingly publish unfounded state
ments even if they thought by doing so
they would assist the cause in which they
are both deeply interested.
Let the protec uonists inquire after the
tate of the Democrats who followed Mr..
Randall's lead against tariff reform last
winter, and perhaps they will find that
nearly he whole of the reduction which
the Democratic majority has suffered was
made in that faction OF the Democrats OF
the House that is led by MIR. Randall.
The returns show tariff reform gains in
New England and the Northwest. There
is no question but that the tariff agita.
ton is demoraliziDg the Republican party
in both OF these sections of the country,
and they both have been Republican
strongnolds since the organization of that
party.
All ofthe tariff reform leaders unite in
saying that tariff reform did not suffer a
reverse in the late election; on the con-
trary, they unite in expressing the opin-
ion toat it is taking frmer hold of the
people than ever before, and IN at in the
next Congress it will, in all probability,
win magnificent victory.

Attacking Mr. CARLISLE

Some of the Republican journals are
nsinuating that the returns in some of
the back counties in Mr.. Carlisle's dis
trIct were doctored in his favor when il
was discovered that there was a proba-
iIty OF his being beaten. They are very
careful to say that they do not believe
that Mr.. Carlisle had hand in this busi-
ness. lndeed, they 20 further than that
md declare that it gives them pleasure
to say that they cannot believe him
guilty Of personal completely in election
frauds.
There is not man in the country who
knows Mr.. Carl sic who would harbor
the thought mat be would be guilty OF
either cOuntensncing such frauds or
protting ny item. II be believed that he
Was not fairly elected be would not ac-

The only ground which the protection
journals have for insinuating that be was
counted in is that his opponent, Mr..
DUtDe CDdIEts lDdl his lfl6DGS were NOT
permitted TO be present at The count in
some OF The back counties, al d, also, that
before the vote was announced in one
county one OF the Democratic managers
there telegraphed 10 MIR. Carlise's head.
quarters asking how lar MIR. I arlisle as
beh nd.
There may not be any truth in either of
these charges, or there may be slight
foundation for them, but it may be re-
garded as certain that there is no such
foundation as to justify the charges.
There may have been some trouble with
Mr.. Thocbe's friends in one OF the coun-
ties, but the cause OF the trouble may
not have had any relation TO the count,
aud II is not improbable that adlspatch
was sent TO Mr.. Carllsle's Headquarters
rom bis friends in more than one county,
asking about the condition OF bis vote.
There was great anxiety respecting the
report Of bis defeat, and II was natural
that dispatches OF inquiry should be sent
10 bis headquarters.
Mr. Carlisle Is too honorable man TO
Stop % fraud, and be could not al ,rd
10 do so even n be we're l. ~ honorable.
HIS Nigh character Is so generally known
that no one would dare 20 commit fraud
in his behalf.

The Drought.

The effects OF the present drought in a
great portion OF the South are b-ginning
to be felt quite seriously. From different
parts of this stare and Florida come re.
ports of a want OF water, OF sickness and
OF the inability of the farmers to prepare
their fields for fall seeding. In this city
there has been no rain Tor many weeks.
and the dust 10 those of the streets which
are unpaved and unwatered is so great as
to render them extremely unpleasant to
pedt strlans, and TO make IL almost i'm
possible to keep furniture in the houses
situated upon them in a presentable con-
dtion.
There Is no doubt that the drought
causes sickness, although Its effects in
that respect are not particularly notice
able in ibis city as yet.
In New Orleans there is almost a water
famine. Tue cistern supply gave out
long ago, ana the people are depending
ulon the water works. a very large
per ceDtage of the houses have no con-
nectiOn with the water works aud
the water mains do not extend to many
portions of tue city. A demand has been
made upon the city to open the fire plugs
during certain hours Of the day in order
that those who have no other source Of
supply may get water in that way. The
river from which the water is drawn is
remarkably low, and it is win difficulty
that the water works can raise enough TO
meet the de mand. The authorities, there.
fore, have been forced to ask the people
to be extremely economical IN the use OF
water. Rain is hnXlously looked for in
all this region, but just at present there

The trouble at Chicago,

The d termination OF the Chicago pack
a labor organization evid, ntly shows that
they have determined 10 test the strength
OF such organization. If the packers
remain firm this means that the packing
business in Chicago Will De paralyzed and
many thousands of men there thrown out
of employ for weeks and perhaps
months. There may be riots and blood
shed. Indeed, it is extremely probable
that Chicago Will experience very troub-
lous times.
There are many thousands of men en-
ployed in one way and another about the
stock yards and packing hou es-40,0 00 or
50,0i0-and, as a rule, they earn good
wages. The present trouble is not one OF
wages but of hours of labor. The men
demand that eight hours shall constitute
days work, and the packers insist upon
ten. The strike causes a heavy loss to
both the men and the packers, besides
unsettllDg the pork, beef and lard mar
kets.
The impression largely prevails that a
few determined men, who are good
takers, control the labor organizations,
and that in most cases of strikes,
il the men could express their
opinions without being known, work
would be resumed without delay. The
correctness OF this impression could
readily be determined at Chicago by a
secret ballot. 1t would be interesting to
know whether a majority or a minority
are really directing the strike. Chicago
can hardly fail to be the centre OF interest
for the next few days if the strike lasts
that long
