Democratic Caucus

WASHINGTON. June 24-The House
Democrats held largely attended caucus
this evening to determine upon the order of
business for the remainder of the session.
The high-tariff democrats we're all present,
and the proceedings were entirely harmoni-
Gus. The idea which ran through all the
discussions was that an adjournment
should be effected not later than July 10
Mr.. Morrison said the appropriation bills
would take until July Q, which would leave
but ten days for other measures Various
members spoke, suggesting different mea-
sures as proper to be brought up, and
minor resolutions were offered. Finally
the following was adopted: That the
Speaker, Mr.. Morrison and Mr.. Randall be
appointed committee of three, with power
to designate the measures which shall have
priority during the remainder of the ses-
sion. Mr.. Randall asked to be excused,
as he said he had too much to do now, but
the caucus declined to accede to his request.
No question was asked as to whether this
committee would have power to recommend
any measure reducing taxation, when it was
announced that it would be understood that
the committee was not to be restricted in
its action

THE CHICAGO ANARCHISTS. The police
of Chicago have secured an exceedingly i'm
portant witness in the anarchist cases in
one VIM. Hoyt, a laborer. He stated that he
stood beside the wagon that contained Spies,
schVab, Fielden and Parsons on the night
of the 4th of May, and when the bomb was
thrown. he saw Parsons pull two revolvers
out of his pockets and discharge their seven
loads into the ranks of the police. Open
heimer, who has been confined at police
headquarters for the past six weeks, is said
to have been violent anarchist, and on the
morning of the Haymarket riot started down
town with supply of bombs to blow up the
newspaper offices. He fell into the hands
of Captain Setback and has given much val
liable information to the police. Since Civ
ing the information, he has been afraid to go
out, and has been kept in confinement at
his own request. Other witnesses have
been threatened with violence if they testify
against the anarchists.

HOME MARKET HUMBUG.-We have heard
much of high tariff giving us home mark
etf What nonsense! when the fact is blazed
into our eyes that we have had high tariff
for nearly a quarter of century-during
and since The war-and the outcome is
plethora Of manufactured goods, and the
country surfeited with farm products
Why? Because our foreign markets are
shut to us in consequence of our almost ex-
elusive tariff, which forces England and the
other European Powers to look for their
supplies to those quarters OF the globe where
they can have an equal, fair and untram-
melled interchange Of trade. The farming
and consuming classes in this country ought
to unite their forces and elect members of
Congress vho would respect their tights
and enact revenue tariff law, and nothing
more, in that way. The mission ofGevern-
ment is to protect the governed in life, liber-
W and property. Then let all alike look to
their own efforts for suceess-not make laws
which tax one class TO keep another.-Lees-

PROGRESS OF THE HoME-RULE CAM
PAIeN.-Thomas Power O'Connor cables
from London under date of Saturday: II
at last begin to believe strongly in a great
Gladstone victory. My personal expert
ence the last week in the metropolis and
the provinces convinces me that popular
ardor in favor of home-rule has reached
height never witnessed in any previous po
litical contest All the meetings are
crammed, the cheers are deafening, and
the Irish members of Parliament are re-
ceived by English audiences with enthusi-
asm The tories are winning great victo-
ries on paper, but the Gladstoneites are
arousing public opinion throughout the
length and breadth of the land
Lord Randolph Churchill opened the cam
paign at Paddington Saturday night in a
two hours speech. The meeting hall was
crowded with an enthusiastic audience.
Lord Randolph. defended his election ad-
dress, which has been so much criticised.
Every word of it, he said, was gospel truth.
He sat down to write it with the resolution
to tell the truth and shame the devil. Mr.
Gladstone's schemes, he continued, placed
the government in the hands of a Catholic
Celtic peasantry under the control of Amer
lean Adventures and an inscriptions,
fanatical priesthood. He had nothing to
say to the American dagger and dynam10
faction but to bffer the old English clls
lenge, "Come on; our prisons are large and
rope is cheap" "We have plenty of anna
teur hangmen," he declared, 'and for the
first victim of dynamite or the dagger we
have scores of avengers. When the first
Englishman falls the lives and persons of
the dynamiters and their allies will be placed
at the mercy of an angry and outraged peo-
ple." Lord Randolph concluded by COM
pairing Gladstone with ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

The birds will not be slaughtered this
year as they were last. So says Forest and
Stream, the great journal of the Rod and
Gun, which instituted the Audubon Society
and has not ceased to war on the practice of
slaughtcring song-birds to satisfy the crav-
ings of fashion. The bird-wearing craze
grew out of thoughtlessness. The Ameri-
can women were appealed to and they came
to the rescue. Many who formerly led the
fashion are now condemning it. The So
ciety is increasing rapidly. Over 10000
certificates of membership have been sent
out from New York during. the last two
weeks. In the larger cities and in the in
terror of several Northern States feather
millinery is beginning to be regarded as Of
questionable taste, and every second or third
person looks askance at them.
The Ladies' Christian Union of the city
of New York in body became members of
the Audubon Society, and thus the good
work goes on. The plea for the birds has
at last obtained a hearing but not until
millions were sacrificed to crafty a fashion
which never was in good taste.
