would roll in the ditch of defeat together.
persistent and violent effort was being
made by those who managed and led the OPP
position to the present administration to con-
vince the public mind that the president was
unfriendly to the labor interests and laborers
organizations and the reduction of taxes
would be so powerfully enforced, would
prove hurtful to the workingmen, and es-
pecially to wage laborers employed i'll manu-
featuring industries
He might pause to ask the meaning OF the
present condition of the wage workers In
many of the most extensive manufacturing
regions, and why, under the present high
tariff were they engaged in constant strikes
and struggles with their employers. bis
heart was full of appreciative sympathy Tor
the workingman and his household, as they
gathered around their troubled tlreside OF ten
in .penury, sometimes in actual want and
never in ease or affiuenca. But he had never
vet conceived it to be a remedy for his pri-
vation and anxeties to increase the tax an
his blankets and bed clothing, or on his salt,
and meagre table ware The president had
expressed his solicitude for the welfare of the
American laborer, and had pointed out the
yipilant care which his interest should receive
in the treatment of the tariff.
At the close of Mr.. Voorhees, speech, NJ
Sherman moved that the message be referred
to the finance committee, but action on thai
motion was withheld to give Mr.. Teller ali
opportunity to make some remarks. Mr..
Teller spoke briefly in reply to Mr.. VoOr
heeS' criticisms of his, Mr.. Teller's, former
statement. He stated that there had fire.
quently been greater accumulationS OF sur
plus in the treasury than when the president
sent his message, and that the assumption
that the present condition OF affairs was
threat against the country's prosperity, was
not based upon an honest conviction.
He denied that the people were suffering
under burdens of taxation, or were crying
for relief Whenever the voice of the people
had been heard it had been declared to be
a fundamental American principle that the
public debt shall be paid. There were $780,,
0O0, 900 to become payable for years hence,
and how he asked, was this debt to be pro-
vided for if the revenues were to be reduced
to the level of current expenses.
When some years ago it was proposed To
exclude the Chinese because they came here
to compete with American labor for wages,
while their habits were such that they con-
sumed little or nothing produced by Ameri-
can labor, nearly all the Democratic senators
favored the proposition. Now it was pro-
posed to extend to the Chinese the privilege
of doing the labor at home and sending the
manufactures here. He doubted if Demo
cratic house even at the behest of the presi-
dent and at the risk of loss of favor for
refusal would venture to face the American
laborer with such a record.
The pending resolution to refer the prvsi-
dents message to the finance committee vas
not acted upon. The chair laid before the
senate the unfinished business-the sduca-
tiOnal bill.
At $50 the senate went into secret session,
and five minutes later adjourned

"The Blair bill is measure Of

"The education of the people is a

his friends and supposed to have installed the

Americans Monopolizing PugiIism.

LONDON, Jan. 5.-The wife of James
Stewart, the champion pugilist of Scotland,
brought suit against her husband few days
ago to obtain afimony, alleging that his aver
age earnings were 500 week, none of which
he applied to her support. The case was tried
to-day, when Stewart put in a general
denial As to his earnings he declared that
the Americans had monopolized the profes-
sion of pngilism to such an extent which left
it impossible for home talent to make an
honest living. The magistrate took the
same gloomy view of the present and future
of the manly art, but there was still sufficient
activity in pugilisn to justify Stewart in
paying his wife nine shiilings week, and SO

THE NEW YEAR.

Since lasting visiting our readers
all have entered upon the untrodden
path of the New Year-have passed
another mile post in the great journey
of life.
1t is the hope of the GAZETTE that
this unknown path is smooth and
unrugged way for each and every
pilgrim; that it may prove trlum-
ph4l march from success to greater
success and happiness in all good
endeavors.
Reader take up life with renewed
spirit and meets its duties, its cares
and responsibilities biavely and chez
rfully. In no era has the blessings Of
peace and prosperity and bright op-
portunities open to the citizens OF
any country as now present them
selves in this great, peaceful and
prosperous country.
All the avenues Of life are open
to the ambitious youth, and with
properly directed effort success will
reward you in business, in the pro-
fessions, in literary diversions or in
the trades. The broad fields Of hu-
man industry are as many and var
led as the tastes and talents Of the
multitudes. Only have hope, have
courage.
For
"Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each tomorrow;
Find us farther than to-day"
Trust no Future, howe 'er pie asant!
Let the dead Past bury its deadl
Act, act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!
Reader it is well also to remember
a. you tread this path that along its
ways you are never to return. So
you must settle up as your journey
leaving nothing undone which can
be done. Each traveller is going the
way whence as Job says. 81 shall
never return"
Yet let us all young and old pro-
fitting by the lessons of the past years
endeavor to make this years path
not only a smooth one to ourselves
but strew it with flowers for others.
Aid along the less fortunate and con-
sole the aged.
Carrying along with you the best
wishes of the Gazette, with a fair
amount Of "hustling" on your part,
take this sound advice Of the poet
and make the most of 1888:
"Do not bury,
Do not worry,
As this world you travel through,
No regretting,
Fuming, fretting,
Ever can advantage you.
Be content with what you've won,
What on earth you leave undone,
There are plenty left to do"

Likely to be Promoted.

LONDON, Jan Sit is asserted that in
recognition of his services to the government
in Ireland Mr.. Balfour will shortly be pro
moted to higher position in the ministry
than that Of chief secretary for Ireland.
The rumor that the executive branch of the
Irish National league, in Dublin, is to be
suppressed, is ascertained to be wholly
groundleSs.
Mr. Balfour personally denies the report
and supplements his denial with the state
ment that the government has at no time
considered such action necessary, particu-
larly in view Of the fact that evidences of
the weakening and ultimate disintegration
of the league are accommodating daily.
There are other persons quite as well in
formed of the strength and activity of the
league and the determination of leaders who
do not agree with Mr.. Balfour in this asser-
tion, but the expression of the chief secre-
tary is of valne as showing the confidence of
the government in its Irish policy and the
absence of intention on the part Of the exec
utive authorities to extend the repressive
measures at present

submitted that the work of reform and re-
ductons should be pursued in that field, and
the internal revenue system left to stand yet
while subject to certain notifications
As to tobacco, he suggested that the tax on
cigars and snuff, producing s12,5O0,0OO
might he retained, and the rest of the tax,
producing $1,000, ,000, abolished. But this,
however, was feature of detail and perhaps
a feature of compromise. The great bulk of
abatement in the present total unnecessary
taxation of the people would have to take
place i'll a careful and prudent revision of the
tariff, and we would have to leave to the
future what might seem the best means and
arrangements by which to attain that end
As a choice between reducing internal
revenue or tariff taxes, he would labor to
cheaper woolens, linens cotton fabrics, salt,
lumber. coal, iron STEEL and all other staple
commodities OF other than such articles as
were INDUCED in from acquired habits on
luxurious modes of living.
After quoting some sentences from the
presidents message, Mr. voorhees, asked
whether it was from such wise, conservative
statements, guarding the interests of Ameri-
can manufacturers on the one hand, while
seeking to relieve the people on tbs other,
that the charges of free trade" were made
against the message. Did it not rather seem,
he asked, that those who caviled with Mr.
Cleveland and denounced his views were
such as had predetermined a quarrel, and
who would not approve the declaration of
independence if it came from his hands!
Such political leaders might have their
uses but in the present instance it required
no gift of propheiy to foresee that as "blind
leaders Of the blind" they and their followers
