WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The presi-
dent has withdrawn from the senate
the nomination of John Fitzpatrick to
be United States marshal for the east
en- district of Louisiana.
Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Folsom
left Washington this morning for a
short stay in the Adironacks. They
were accompanied by DIR. Ward, of
Albany, who had been a guest for some
days at Oak View.
Orders have been issued to have the
United State ship Boston, now at the
New York navy yard put ready for SER
vice. The vessel is under secret orders
to proceed to the West Indies on di-
plomatic mission, the precise charac-
ter of which cannot not now be ascer-
tanned. 1t is believed. however, to
have some connection with the preSi-
Dental election which takes place in
| Hayti on the 10th proximO.
The president appointed under the
act of March 2, 1887, VIM. j. Sparks,
ex-commiSSioner of the general land
Office, as co-referee, and chairman of
the referees. to act with two others,
one to be appointed by the Chicago,
Kansas s. Nebraska railroad company,
and one by the principal chief of the
Cherokee nation in the Indian terri
tory to assess against the railroad COM
pany the amount of compensation to
be paid to the Indians for right of way
through their lands. This action is
made necessary under the act granting
a right of way by reason of the rejec-
| ton by the Indians in June last of the
compensation of $50 per mile named in
| the act.

Cheap Labor-About Wheat.

Senator Plumb made a startling
statement in the senate on Monday
last that ought to arrest the attention
of the American voter ON the farm as
well as elsewhere. 1t came up in the
discussion of bill to enlarge the
powers and duties of the department
of agriculture, and to create an exc
cutive department tai be known as the
department of agriculture. We repro
duce from the report the remarks of
MIR. Plumb, who, in describing the
competition which the American agri-
culturists met and would continue to
meet in the markets of the world, from
South America. Australia, Africa and
India, said: "He believed that unless
existing conditions were changed and
markedly changed, India wheat would
sell in New York market in five years,
duty paid, in competition with Ameri-
can wheat"
Senator Plumb is not a sensational
politician, but one of the clearest head
ed business men in the senate. He is
| never forward in political debate, and
when heard from it ID on some measure
of practical bearing upon the interests
| of the people or in the working of the
government business. And when such
a man makes statement of this kind
it means something. 1t was not in a
tariff debate this declaration was
made, but in the discussion of a bill of
practical and immediate interest on
another subject.
And why should India wheat so sell?
Because the cost of its production is
merely nominal-less than a nickle a
day in many instances. The cost of
keeping one farmers family in Mis-
souri, or Kansas per year would keep a
whole township of India laborerS bet
ter than they now live and then this
| produce carried in subsidized English
vessels by water would very readily
compete with the Missouri and Kan
sas farmer with his l, 900 20 l 500 miles
of rail. So this question of labor,
wages, comfort, education and Ameri-
can mode of life is one that affects
every one of the sixty millions of peo-
pie who make up this free nation

Republican Club.


The republican club had a very en-
thusiastic meeting at the court house
Friday evening. President Wig
gam was in the chair and
several in attendance made shot
speeches. More than half of
those present were prominent coli
ored men of the city and they took an
active part in the proceedings. Mr.. St.
Clair, who last year drifted off the right
track a little and took some stock in
the union labor movement, arose and
stated that the next person who called
him a democrat or a union
labor1te would get severely,
caned and he brandished a
heavy stl> to give additional weight
to his speech. This was received
with much merriment by these
present, and especially the colored men
who were glad to see the supposed
wanderer express himself so emphat-
ically on his position. The issues of
the campaign were freely discussed.
This club, although it has been very
quiet, henceforth may be expected to
liven politics up in this neighborhoOd
from now until November 9Th.

for which l sincerely honor him, has
challenged the protected industries of
the country to a fight OF determination.
The fight is to the Senator
George G.. Vest.
Senator Vest is an intimate personal
friend of the president, and knows that
gentleman's political views and pur-
poses as well as he does himself. When
Vest declared, therefore, that the pres
ident had challenged the protected

had landed it was learned that all had
come TO the United States under con-

been drawn up in New York. Soon
after their arrival the entire party left
