Kansas City Star:-It is stated that
the business mems democratic clubs of
New York, which were organized dur.
ing the late canvass in aid of the tariff
reform movement, will be maintained,
and the members have declared their
purpose TO strengthen themselves for
future work in promoting the cause in
which they have enlisted. The same
statement is made of similar organi-
cations throughout he country, which
goes to prove that the tariff reformers
are not discouraged by temporary de-
feat, but that they have an abiding
faith in the justice of their cause, and
a well grounded hope that it will yet
triumph. This is the spirit which has
carried through every reform which
has been accomplished in this country,
and it will not fail in a movement
which concerns the welfare of the
American people as nc other issue has
done since the abolition of slavery.

commissioner, to q reporter of the st.

vigorous fish law and make it a felony

men are brought before the courts and
convicted of seining and fined possibly
fifty dollars and given a few days in
Jail, whom these very same men have
probably made $1,000 from the sale of
fish they seined in violation of the law.
We have a law against killing game out

demnlng the men under ccusation The
exposures of the past few days show that
many OF the men under arrest are detectives

innocent men, and put up jobs that would
maze maze unsuspecting men say and do things

We assure the public that we have no sym.

peal to all fair-minded citizens to withhold

conspiracy. ''The testimony is not all

the Chicago & Alton committee, "but
we have enough to show that Bowles,
Frederick, Wilson and Smith are ali
Pinkerton men. Pinkerton has had
men in our organization for years, and
they are getting in their work. We
nave also learned that not an ounce Of
of dynamite has been exploded on the

We have men who know the effects of
dynamite; men who have had an engine
blown all to pieces by few ounces Of
dynamite in the city of Denver during
the celebrated Denver & Rio Grande
strike. One result of this meeting will
be full and free investigation of the
dynamite conspiracy. If any of our
members are guilty they will be turned
over to the authorities. We shall pro-
tect the integrity of our organization

RAILROAD DUNNELL.
His Congressional Record as al
Ally of the Corporations.

Ally Of the Corporations.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. July 19.-That his title
to fair share of confidence of the rail-
roads was fairly earned by Hon. Mark
Ii. Dunnell is shown by the Congress
ional Record upon many of its pages.
That his privilege of the floor as an ex-
member has recently rendered him a
valuable ally of corporate monopolies is
merely an inference, for which no one
be directly made. On Wednesday, Feb.
2S, 1872, it appears from the Record that

the time to complete railroad from
Lake st. Croix to Lake Superior, Hon.
S. S. Cox said: This bill has
been twice defeated by congress after
full debate. / never voted in congress
for any of the railroad grants. have
voted from the beginning of my service
here to give lands to actual settlers, and
never for giving them away for other
purposes. There should be no monOp-
oily of the public lands; they are the
patrimony Of the people, and the people
are entitled to the benefits of the public
domain. Beyond doubt the land granted

Mr.. Dunnell, of Minnesota, then arose
as the champion of the monopoly and
spoke in favor of recreating the grant.
to give, to squander, to purloin from the
people and give millions of acres of the
public domain to a corporation which
had done absolutely nothing to deserve
even charitable consideration by con-
gress. He said:
wherever | may live. whatever NAV
be the people among whom my lot NAV
be cast, shall vote for this grant,
Mr.. Dunnell spoke at great length and
frequently in favor of this iniQuity.
until on March IA, 1872, vote was
reached upon an amendment which
read:
'sStrike out all after the enacting

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, July 19.-The
visitors to Gen. Harrison from Jackson
vile, Springfield and Monticello, ILL.,,
gave the city to-day something of a
flavor of Illinois Republicanism. The
delegations from these three places
combined numbered about 400 persons,
and what with their bands and glee
clubs, aroused an enthusiasm that
would have done credit to crowd many
times larger. 1t was the Jacksonville
delegation that first arrived, about
noon, and an hour later came
those from Spring and Monticello.
The personnel of the Springfield dele
CATION represented an official, journal
istic and business character, the promi-
nent members being Attorney General
states attorney in Sangamon; j. r.
King, chairman Of the county commit
tee: Maj. Connolly and G. A. Vaughn,
of the Illinois State Journal. The dele
cations, as usual, were met by local
committees on reception and escorted to
the New Denison, where dinner was
served. At2:30p. m. Gen. Harrison drove
down to the hotel and was greeted with
great applause as he went to the private
apartment assigned him. In few min
utes thereafter the visitors were ar
ranged along the corridors of the par
lor floor of the hotel, and, Gen. Harri-
son appearing, the applause was re-
newed. On behalf of the visitors At
torney General Hunt addressed the gen.
eral at length, conveying to him the
good will and earnest
SUPPORT OF HE!ILLINOIs PEOPLE.
In reply the general made what is re-
garded as the best speech he has yet
given on occasions of this kind. He
said: 'Gen. Hunt, and my Illinois
friends: l thank you for this cordial
expression of your interest in Repub-
lican success. / thank you for the
kindly terms in which your spokesman

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 19.-Sena-
tor Chase has submitted an exhaustive
report upon his bill to reduce the post
age on fourth class matter. He says the
bill proposes in effect to merge the third
and fourth classes with uniform rates of
l cent for each two ounces or fraction
thereof. The fourth class embraces
merchandise, samples, seeds and an in
finite variety of small articles of almost
every conceivable class. The postal
revenues and expenditures for a series
of years are reviewed, showing that
''the present charges for postage are adj
lusted upon scale that, in the near
future, will be greatly more than ade-
quate to meet the cost of maintaining
the postal service. and there is nothing
in the present situation or prospects of
the postoffice department to prevent so
desirable cOnsummation as reduc-
ton of postage ON fourth class mail
matter.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 19.-At 7:30
o'clock this evening the delegation from
Shelbyville, Ind, arrived, over a thou
sand strong, and accompanied by the
Illinois clubs, shortly after s o'clock
they marched out to Gen. Harrison's
residence. They congregated in the
ward and on the sidewalk and the gen.
eral stood on the broad stone steps be-
fore his door. The generals appear
ance was the signal for an Outburst of
enthusiasm that continued several min
uteS.
In reply to the congratulatory ad-
dress by Judge J. G. Adams, of Shelby
vile, Gen. Harrison touched upon the
question of civil service, and spoke as
follows:
Judge Adams and my Shelby county
friendS-ThiS is only new evidence of
your old friendliness. My association
with the Republicans of Shelby county
began in 1865. when l was very young
man, and
STILL A YOUNGER POLITICIAN.
In that year, if l recollect right. cam
vassed every township of your county
in the interest of Mr.. Campbell, who
was then a candidate for county clerk.
Since then l have frequently visited
your county and have always been re-
ceived with the most demOnstrative evil
dences of your friendship. But in addi-
tion to these political associations,
which have given me an opportunity to
observe and to admire the SteadfaStneSs,
the courage, the untiinching faithfulneSs
of the Republicans of Shelby county, |
have another association with your
county which l cherished with great
tenderness and affection. Two cOmpa-
made up of your brave boys
Company b, commanded by Capt.
Sleeth, and Company F, commanded by
Capt. sEndSley, who still lives among
YOU. Many of the surviving members
of these companies still dwell among
you: many others are in the far West,
and they, too, from their distant homes,
have sent me a comrades greeting. /
recollect a little story of Peach Tree

which l have no doubt he has repented

posed that his end of the regiment
should get to the top of that hill as quick
as the other end. We will venerate the
memory of the dead of these companies
and their associate companies in other
commands who gave up their lives in
defense of the flag. But l turn aside
from these matters of personal recol-
lection to say word of more general
concern. We are now at the opening of

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator
Blair introduced bill declaring that
hereafter no alien shall be admitted to
