CARLISLE RENOMlNATED.

Constituents.

Constituents.
CINCINNATI, O., Sept. l9-The Democrats
Of the Sixth Kentucky congressional district
renominated John G. Carlisle by acclama-
ton Yesterday. After the nomination there
were loud calls for Carlisle and hs appeared
on the stage and delivered an address, being
received with an ovation and repeatedly in
terrupted with applause.
He commenced by congratulating his con-
stituents on the fact that the doctrine OF
revenue reform was now fairly before the
people, after years of hard struggling. "The
Democratic PLATFORM" he said, "has de-
clared that unnecessary taxation is unjust
taxation, and upon this declaration the Dem
ocratic party will stand or fall in this con-
test. The question to decide Is whether the
government shall continue the present pro-
tective tariff system, entailing unnecessary
taxation. or return to the safe and just sys
tenn that prevailed before the war. You
might as well say that man can grow rich
by picking his own pocket, as that the coun-
try is benefited by this present tariff system.
Mr.. Carlisle, further along in his speech,
made the following statement: "The only
occupations in which there is disparity in
wages between this'country and Europe are
those which can not, from their nature, bt
protected by protective tarif-such as car
penters brick and stone masons, steamboat
| employees railroad employ es, etc"
"The Democratic party" said he, docs not ad
vocate free trade. 1t recognizes the right of TIL
government to raise money for the plrpos
OF defraying its expenses and meeting it
| obligations, and We believe that this none.
should be raised by lev ying duties on i'm
| ported goods"
Mr.. Carlisle closed his speech with glow
| ing tribute to President Cleveland

he continued, "there are 500 infantile muir

every year. The people need to be taught
not only that this destruction of life is con-
trary to nature, ruinous to health, the cause
of disease, but that it is murder and a sin
against God There are physicians who,
knowing the penalty of the law upon those
who thus destroy life, use their knowledge to
make whatever demand they choose upon
the guilty parties. The married women are
said to be as bad in this respect as the un

In Belfords Magazine is an able and ex-
haustive article About Wool" from j.
s. Moore, the great tariff expert of this
country. which closes as follows:
Take, for instance, the great state of
Illinois, the total wool product of which
in round numbers is abont 5000, 900
pounds. Even if the reduction of 10
cents pound duty on foreign wool is
felt in full force on the home grown
wool, which of course is not so-but let
us give the protectionists the full pound
of flesh-the loss would be $500. 900. The
state now has probably 1000, 900 popua-
ton, and consumes annually. say, if only
S. wooden goods per capita, $50 900 0O0.
Now, free wool would reduce this most
necessary article of clothing at least 80
per cent. in average. Therefore the state
of Illinois is dragooned by the political
republican protection trust machine to
keep the present duty on wool and wool.

WAITING FOR THE SENATE

ADOPT OATES, RESOLUTION,

And Congress Will He Found Doing Busi-
ness at the Old Stand Indefinitely-China
Has Something to Say to Uncle Samuel
About Observing Treaties - Sherman
Talks Annexation and Cannon Finance.
WASHINGTON CITY, Sept i9.-The presi-
dent yesterday transmitted to the senate, in
reply to resolution adopted on the | lth inst,
and calling for the same, report from the
secretary of state, together with accompany
ing correspondence, in relation TO the Chi
nese treaty now pending ratification by the
Chinese empire. The report and correspon-
dence do not throw any light on the, present
status of the treaty in China, being alto
gether devoted to the negotiations relating
thereto The most significant letter is one
from the Chinese government to Minister
DENLY on Jan r. 1881, in which the atten-
uion of the United States government is
called to the outragss committed upon Chi
nese laborers in tho United States, and re-
minding the United States government that
Chinese laborers residing in the United
States are entitled by treaty to come and go
at their own free will and accord. and to
protection in all their rights, privileges, i'm
munities, and exemptions. The letter then
proceeds:
Recently outrages of a serious nature
such as driving the Chinese from their fields
of labor and places Of abode or trade. burn
ing and numbering them have been repeat
eddy committed, and the local authorities
have not extended to them timely protection,
nor have they exerted themselves with zeal
in bringing the perpetrators to justice, and
consequently no justice has been obtained in
any Of tn cases, for which the sufferers feel
bitterly grieved, even in their very bones,
| and those who hear of it feel pain to their
hearts.
"While your government in vain processes
| to guarantee protection to the Chinese
aborers, they, in reality, do not derive any
substantial protection as demanded by their
| rights. China treats the Americans strictly
in conformity with the treaty stipulauons,
| but the United States treats the Chinese in
such manner as if the treaties were made
for no purpose"
On Jan 20, 1887 Secretary Bayard sub
mitted proposition to exclude all Chinese
laborers from this country for a period Of
thirty years In reply to this proposition
the Chinese minister stated that he also had
several things which he intended to propose
but could not under his instructions do so
| until the outrage cases were settled.

WASHINGTON CITY, Sept l9-Cannon.. of
Illinois made speech in the houseyes erday,
in which after declaring that this admins
tration had increased the government expen-
ditures very largely-s06 0OD, 00Oin four years
and that with the appropriations already
made and the extended system of national
defense entered upon the surplus would be
pretty much exhausted, he criticised President
Cleveland for allowing the surplus to accc-
mulate in the treasury, for postponing until
1887 the purchase of the per cent bonds,
and for loaning vast sums Of the public
money to the national banks Let the presi-
dent call back from the banks the public
money; let him give them back their AZ per
cent cent bonds and then let him turn
around and purchase the bonds at 61s per
cent premium. If the bonds ran
to maturity in lSbl, it would cost
$50, on, OOO0 opay the principal. Add fine
three years interest, sl3, SOC, 900, and the
bonds would cost the government $93, 900, :

ernment ss6, 500, 5000, and &C. so, 600 would

War met here yesterday. One hundred del
egates were present, representing every
northern state. The major part OF the day

city, stated that during the war he was ap-
pointed by Governor Morton a special agent
to endeavor to have Indiana prisoners ex-
changed, but Secretary Stanton told him it
was not the policy of the government; that
it would not be an equitable exchange to re-
turn a healthy, sound Confederate for
starved, diseased, and broken-down Union
man. He said he insisted at the time that
Governor Morton should make these facts
known, but Morton, In difference to Stan
toms wishes, refused to have it done

BOARDS OF HEALTH CONFER.
Meeting Held at Nashville Takes Ac-
ton on the Yellow Fever


NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept ia confer
ence of delegates from the boards of health
of many Of the southern states and Illinois
was held here yesterday for the purpose of
discussing the yellow fever situation An
exhaustive interchange of ideas was had,
and resolutions adopted declaring it the sense
of the conference that ten days detention
of yellow fever refugees should be enforced
against those destined to points south of the
northern boundary of Tennessee; but in view
of the lateness of the season it is recon
mended that healthful refugees whose bag
gage has been disinfected, should be permit
ted to go north of that line without deten-
ton; that the appearance of one case
of fever in a town should not be
sufficient to warrant quarantine against that
town until other cases have made their ap-
pearance, and in no case should a city be
quarant,ned against without inquiries having
first been made of the authorities of the
place rumored to have been infected. 1t is
urgently recommended that such change
be made in the national health service as
would, through proper assistance and coop

No cosmetic, however well advertised re-
moves freckles. 1t may temporarily hide
them, but it will be at the expense of the tex
ture of the skin. A lotion of Jamaica rum
and lemon juice is frequently effective, but
strawberry juice applied at bedtime Is decid-
edly the best, both for freckles and those an
moving moth or liver patches. Strain the
berries through thin cloth and apply two
or three times before going to bed. This is
excellent for sunburn or redness of the skin,
as well as for discoloration.-Luc c. Lille.
