Rev. DR.. W. q. Cooke, pastor Of the
Second Presbyterian Church Of this city,
delivered the third Of the series OF winter
lectures to the students in the Western
Theological Seminary, in Allegheny,
Thursdsy. The DiSpatch in It's report Of
the lecture has the following: His, sub.
ject was Individuality" Dr.. Cooke is o
well.known and successful pulpit orator
Of Wheeling. He speaks extemporaneous-
ly, and has q pleasant and impressive
manner, and held the close attention OF
the students throughout his address Of an
hours length.
"The speaker discussed by way Of intro.
duction denominationalism. He was not
in favor. Of consolidating all the churches
into one, but OF preserving individual
features Of the denominations. He then
passed to the confederation Of personal in
dividuality. Men Of the ministry should
be themselves, not imitators OF others.
Their strength will lie In q development OF
their special talents and endowments.
The Bible is given as an individual inher-
itance, and the people are required to
study 1t for individual profit. Each man
must be himself in the pulpit, preaching
his individual convictions"

A susrrclous MANurAcruRER.

Another gentleman, prominently con-
nected with q company which purchases
large amounts OF pig iron, was willing to
talk about the state of the market, but
wauld not consent to the use Of his name
under any circumstances. he said that
while there were some natural causes for
the present state OF the trade, he was con-
vinCed that the conditions were not such
as to justify the heavy decline in prices.
Il might be claimed, he said, that there
was no demand for steel rails and that
prices fell accordingly. Under such lack
Of demand there would also naturally be
o falling of in the demand for pig iron.
Under these circumstances he could
hardly understand why the steel manu-
facturers closed down their mills and kept
their blast furnaces going. His company,
he said, could not make and sell pig iron
at profit for the figure now quoted by
the ORrnegies. Last year all the furnaces
and mills were kept going constantly, aud
then could scarcely meet the demand.
Both Bessemer ore and pig iron were inn
ported extensively from Europe to make
up the deficiency in the domestic pig iron
market. There would be the same de.
mand this year, II 1t were not for political
reasons. He was convinced that the large
manufacturers were purposely Cutting
the market with pig iron to cause reduc-
ton. II this were not 30, he conld not
realize why they should close their mills,
which consume pig iron, and still keep
their furnaces going in the manufacture
Of that product.
The effect Of ouch q depression would
be that the steel men, being all high pro.
tectionists, would come together and re-
solve that the depression was caused by q
lack Of demand for steel and iron pro.
ducts, superinducsd by fear among pur.
chassrs Of large bulks that the protective
tariff might bo reduced or removed at the
present session OF Congress, thus enabling
importers to aCll foreign steel at lower
price than the domestic product could
now be bought for. He believed that
President Oleveland's message had greatly
alarmed the large Western manufacturers,
and that the present condition oil the
market was the result OF coup on their
part to demonstrate to the people that
even the fear OF revision Of the tsrifi
would bear down the prices OF domestic
products, and consequently cause rsduc.
tion in wagea. There was no reason why,
In hi1 mind, tho demand for steel rails
should not be as heavy now as last year,

friends in WinOna as well as his
enemies, but the absurd declaration
made at Rochester by his workers that
he would be stronger than any other
man in Winona county is laughed at as
bit of silly talk. 1t is surprising to
find the ready and open declarations of
men who two years ago supported John
A. Lovely for party's sake, now assert
ing that party allegiance this year is of
secondary moment. The opposition to
the Republican nominee arises from
various causes, and is of a nature that
will not down. With some it is the
factional Windom-Dunnell strife of by
gone days, but still green in the
memory of many, with others it is
Dunnell's record in congressional
days, when he was the boss of the
First district, surrounding himself by
Objectionable henchmen; and with
others, personal deals with Mr.. Dunnell
in business and political way have
tended to bring about the animosity
toward the Steele county man that will
swell Judge Wilson's majority in the
county and in the district. There is an
other class of republicans here eXclu-
sive of those mentioned, who are not
antagonizing Dunnell and who will
doubtless vote for him as the party
nominee, but who nevertheless gravely
shake their heads when the situation is
spoken OF and say his nomination was a
great mistake. Editor Sinclair, of the
Republican, figured among those who
silently urged on the opposition
to Dunnell before the nom
OF the same paper, was one of the
workers against him at the conven-
ton, bnt the Republican pulls sadly
into line tonight, with brief editorial,
saying that sit acquieSceS in the action
OF the convention which placed Mr..
Dunnell in nomination for congress in
this district" The Democrats, of
course, are highly pleased at the nomina-
tiOn, and say that the candidates in this
part of the district, at least, are even
more favorable too Judge Wilson than
two years ago. Mayor Ludwig says
that, while Mr.. Dunnell is shrewd
paigns, he cannot win, The faction
fight, and his standing with the
business men of Winona are among
the causes that will contribute to his
defeat. He estimated that Wilson
could carry Winona county by
1,S00 majority against DUnnell, and
thinks the conditions throughout the
district very favorable. A Democrat
who heard Mayor Ludwig's remark
about l, 800 majority in WinOna county
wanted to bet silk hat that it wouldn't
fall.short OF $500, and, from the reports
of the disaffection in Freeborn and Fill
more counties, he said, Wilson would
carry the district by 1900 majority. Of
course. it is yet too early to get the SEN
timent of the people through the various
counties, but, from present indications.
it would appear that the Rochester con-
vention has made a grave blunder in
resurrecting Mark Dunnell to redeem
the district.

by Prominent Men.
The nomination of Mark I'll. Dunnell
by the Republican convention at
Rochester afforded theme of discus
sion for the state house officials yester-
day. 1t was the general opinion that
Dunnell is an able man, and would poll
more votes than Lovely, but few of
them would wager that he could
beat Tom Wilson. Here are a
few of the expressions heard in
reference to the nomination:
Mr.. Helm, Deputy Clerk of Supreme
Court-Dunnelli is man well calculated
to secure whatever his constituents
want. Think he will poll more votes
than Lovely.
Insurance Commissioner Shandrew-
Dunnell is by far the ablest man in the
state. There are some things about him
personally | do not like,
Will Angell-Dunnell stands good
show of being elected. He will make
strong canvass.
Attorney General Clapp-I don't know
much about Dunnell, but understand
he is good campaign worker.
Secretary of State MattSon-Dunnell
is an able man. They made big mis-
take in ousting him before.
Deputy Insurance Commissioner Todd
There is no doubt about Dunnells
ability. but he will have to contend
against the Lovely and White contin-
gents.

NOMINEE DUNNELL.
A Sketch of a Frequent Office
holder in Minnesota.

For the past twenty years Mark FL.
Dunnell has been conspicuous figure
in the Republican politics of Minnesota.
He was superintendent of public in
instruction in 1867, and in 1871 congress
man from the First district, occupying
that Office until March, 1888, when he
was succeeded by Milo White. His
home is at Owatonna, and in the politics
of Southeastern Minnesota he has been
a dominant factor. During the course
of his political life he at one time came
very near to being speaker of the ma
tional house. He is prominent in the
councils of the Baptist church. In 1880
he stumped Central and Eastern states
for Garfield, and has been invited to do
the same for Harrison and Morton.

satisfaction by the Republicans of Wi
mona county. Many of the most promi-
nent business men in the city have an
nounced their intention of boiling the
nomination outright. and declare they
will vote for Judge Wilson. They say
it is an outrage, when there was fair
prospect of redeeming the district this
year, to place professional politician
of Mr.. Dunnell's stamp before the peo-
pie, and admit that the party is again
doomed to defeat, as it was under
Lovely's banner two years ago. These
expressions do not come from the class
usually known as the independentvo voters

party has heretofore never been ques-

PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-THE Read
ing railway has introduced system
of economy in the operation of its gen.
eral Office on South Fourth street, and
its local stations. which has resulted in
the dismissal of many employees and a
heavy reduction of expenses. At the
general Office President Corbin has in
troduced system of bookkeeping
which enables few men to do the
work of a large force without the
necessity of increasing the salary of
a single clerk. In pursuance of this
policy number of men have been
laid off at the Reading Office, and a
saving of $4,000 to $4,000 a year
effected in the item of salary olone.
Changes have been made in the
handling of coal at Third and Berks,
and Ninth and Green streets stations,
which have enabled the company to dis
pense with the services of so to 100
faborers. At Port Richmond the force
OF laborers has been reduced over 800.
About S2,000,000 a year are saved in
the item of wages to these laborers.
Proportionate reductions are to be
made in other departments of the road,
and the managers of the company say
they intend to save every possible dollar
in expenses.

E. t. Jeffreys, of the Illinois Central,
left for Jackson, Miss, last evening to
have a conference with the railroad
commissioners of Mississippi in regard
to the rates put in effect by the commits
sion about a year ago. When these
rates were put in effect the Illinois
Central accepted them under protest,
and demanded that they should be re-
vised, as it could not make expenses on
those rates, and would compel it to re-
duce its interstate rates accordingly.
The commissioners having failed to
take any action in the matter, the llli-
nois Central short time ago set aside
the commissioners tariff and adopted
rates from 20 per cent to so per cent
higher than the state tariff. The state
authorities threaten to institute suits
