committee, and that Mr.. Carlisle, in the
absence of Mr.. Mills, could not help him.
self, being in the minority. As matter
Of fact, Mr.. Randall voted against tho
proposition in committee to make the order
especially for that BILL"
What passes in committee no one but
the committee knows. What passes in
the House is OF record. Now, when the
committee report forcing the direct tax
repayment bill TO the front was brought
before the House by Mr.. Randall, amotion
was made to strike out the clause in the
report giving the bill the preference. The
motion was in these word:
Strike out the words BE set apart for
the consideration OF Senate bill 1870, TO pro-
vide for refunding the direct tax levied in
1851.
and in the official Record IL Is found that
MIR. Randall voted against this motion and
in favor of giving the direct tax bill its
preference,
Mr.. Randall thus put himself on record
as in favor of forcing the direct tax bill ON
the House. But this is not all, His whole
course during the deadlock was in favor OF
the bill lie acted with the Republicans,
who were determined TO pass the bill. He
voted with the Republicans against the ad-
journment, which everybody knew would
defeat the bill. He was in consultation
with the Republican lcao>H during the
contest, giving them the help and benefit
of his knowledge of parliamentary law.
Nor WIS this all. In the final caucus
Mr.. Randall made last effort TO thwart
the Democrats by proposition that the
bill should be moved the next day under
u suspension OF the rules, 80 that II passed
II would pass without debate.
Mr.. Randal's position is awkward and
painful. II has shocked many who re-
manned until now his friends. Much has
been forgiven him in the past on the
score of his boosted vigilance as guardian
of the treasury" The last thing any one
expected of him was TO find him on the
side OF raid on the treasury. But there
he stood during the whole OF the deadlock
acting with the Republicans openly, on
record, ~ voting with them, mover voting
with the Democrats, and that not on n
question Of tariff or revenue, but on a
question Of depicting the treasury. That
is the painful truth.

Canadian Paciac's steamship line between

there was much comment as 10 whether
or not the Parthia, which lately arrived at
British Columbia from China and cleared
ut Vancouver with n clean bill Of health,
would be ordered into quarantine as though
she came direct from an infected port. On
the arrival OF the Parthia, however, the

the Chicago university in 1859. Mr..

the property for 500, 900. The college was

bad to worse until mortgage piled on

nearly $780, on the property. Finally
the Mutual Union Lie Insurance com

FUNNY FOR MARK TWAIN.


FUNNY FOR MARK TWAIN,
There are many stockholders in Con-
nectcut, and, in fact, most of them are in
New England. Senator Hawley's name
brought in many investors. George p.
Bissell x Co., OF Hartford, sold large blocks
OF it to their customers. There are many
widows and orphans who will suffer
Mark twain had $40, 600 Of the stock. The
Mccormack estate, of Chicago, and the
Packer estate, of Easton, are also large
holders. Gillig's board of directors and
president have given the exchange the
only standing it ever had. Why, he
kept a dead man on his board OF directors
for two years. His name? Cyrus Nc
Cormack, of reaper fame.
II think the statement that the liabil-
tiles OF the exchange are Si,000,00 is alb
surd. don't believe they have letters of
credit out tor over 100000. know that
between June and October 1887, the ex-
| change in this city issued letters OF credit
for 81, 100000, ON which it made net profit
OF ! per cent The mismanagcment OF the
business can only be shown when the re-
ceiver comes to check up the books"
Ex-Gov. Francis b. LOOMS, of Con-
necticut, is stakeholder 10 the extent Of
$40, 900. He is portly gentleman, with
| good-naturcd, smoothly shaven face, and
| very poor opinion of Mr.. Gillig. Mr..
LOOMS is stopping at the Murray Hill
hotel.
"Mr. Gillig, eh?" grunted he. The stock
holders have put in about $500, 900. |
guess all he has left us is the good will.
Wen try and divide that. Gillig liked
n..tnhiltttaa ltta nlatpo anl Ln1tat -.
Was fond of riding in private car. Gave
dinners, too. Hear of that dinner TO
Beecher? Cost $1,000 OF our money.
They say Blaine was going to make Gillig
the Secretary OF the Treasury II he had
been elected. The treasury would be Just
about his size.
A prominent stakeholder, who did not
want his name mentioned said that many
OF his fellow sufferers held Senator IIawley
responsible for Gillig's acknowledgement.
Dir. Hawley drew salary OF 5000 year
as president, aud ought to have paid more
attention to the affairs OF the exchange.
At the Office OF the exchange, No. l82
Broadway, there is notice posted on the
window that the room is 10 let, and an
other that the business will be removed
TO No. ll3 Broadway, which is the Office
OF the American Loan and Trust COM
pany.
The exchange in this city has done a
general banking business, issuing letters
OF credit, buying and selling foreign ex-
change and money and making cable
transfers Of money. No dividends have
been declared for two years, although Mr..
Gillig has made glowing reports OF the
condition OF the exchange. Now the
stockholders are wondering what has be.
come OF the profits and likewise their cap.
ital. One stakeholder wound up his tale
Of woe by hoping that the walking WIS
lieve the creditors would get any more out
Of the assets than the s,ockholders.

Ex-senator Camden Says Cleveland's
Policy VIII Carry the State.
Parkersburg Dispatch to The Herald.
Ex-United States Senator Camden makes
public letter in which he says that re-
cent alleged interview published in a
quack, sensational New York journal and
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, from George
W. Mcbride, is, in the opinions and Ian
guage ascribed TO him, unauthorized and
Incorrect from beginning to end.
The interview alleges Senator Camden's
hostility to President Cleveland, his OPP
position 10 his nomination and election
and his disagreement with the President
on the tariff. In regard 10 this Mr.. Cam
den SAYS
81 am in full accord with President
Cleveland and his administration. am
in favor OF his denomination and re-
election. have no doubt the same result
will repeat itself nj the next election in
West Virginia that has occurred for the
last dozen or more years-namely, that
the Republicans will carry the State before
the election and the Democrats at the
election"
Upon President Clevcland's tariff mes
sage he says
81 think the message is able and practi.
cable, and the Presidents manner OF pre-
scnting the one great question OF vital
interest TO Congress and the country sep
arately from all others is original and
forcible.
TARIFF REDUCTION IMPERATIVE.
Whatever differences of opinion may
exist in relation to the details Of tariff re-
duciion, all must agree in the urgent ne
cessity OF such tariff reform as will reduce
the revenues TO the necessities Of the gov
eminent, economically administered, in
order TO relieve the people and the business
OF the country from excessive taxation.
The people might bear the burden OF taxa
ton ii 1t We're required TO sustain the gov
eminent, provided the money was returned
10 them through the usual channels OF
trade, but to have IL locked up In the treas.
ury, withdrawn from circulation and the
avenues OF business, is double burden
which must OF necessity produce disaster
unless speedily corrected, and fully in.
dorse the Presidents able, honest and
courageous manner Of presenting IL TO Con.
grcss and the country rs the one great
question OF paramount importance"
NO PROTECTED MoNoPoLIEs.
Concerning his own position he says;
"My position has been that the advant.
ages arising from incidental protection by
reason OF necessary tariff should be
shared by the interests OF the whole coun
try, be fairly distributed 10 interests Of all
sections, and that West Virginia was en-
titled to her fair share Of the advantages
OF such a tariff, limited TO the neccssitc
Of the government for her products an,
interests"
lie closes his letter by saying "Wha
the country needs is the Immediate re-
turn 10 circulationo Of the large surplus nov
lying idle in the treasury, and such a NJ
duclion Of the tariff and internal rcvenu,
as will meet the demands Of the govern
ment and no more. This Is plainly tn,
meaning OF President Cleyeland's mes
sage."
