matured and told them that we could stand
8. and possibly 10 per cent. reduction on
certain grades of pottery in view of the pro-
visions of the Senate undervaluations bill,
but 30 per cent. was too much. In pottery 95
per cent of the cost goes to labor alone.
Such industries need protection, and should
not be cut as Others are, where the labor
entering in is not more than 80 or even 40 per
cent. of the cost of the finished product"
But Mr.. Mcpherson argued in vain. Mr.
Mills probably felt that New Jersey could be
carried for the Democrats in spite of this
injustice and SO Mr.. McPherson's appeal was
rejected though it came from Democrat.
In the light of McPherson's experience the
recent suggestions of the Argus that Maine

The following from the New Orleans
States of Aug. 2 illustrates one of the Ala
bama methods of securing an unanimity
which keeps the Democratic majority COM
pact and comfortable: Birmingham, Ala,
went in for the luxury of political riot, last
night when rotten eggs and pistols figured
prominently. The riot was brought ON by
by an attempt OF the Republicans to hold a
meeting-a proceeding Of which the Demo-
Gratis did not approve, and which they were
successful in preventing. The civilization
of Birmingham does not reach the height of
tolerating opposing opinion.
The United States Senate has furnished
several recruits for the flannel shirt brigade.
Senator Platt has been wearing an ordinary
blue and white fne-striped flannel shirt. He
always wears it or its mate when he goes
fishing, and had the courage recently when
the whiting days began to come to wear it in
the Senate. His appearance caused thrill
in the Senate, but he looked so supremacy
cool and comfortable that he made converts
of Senators Beck and Blackburn. who now
usually loll around in flannel shirts. But the
sensation came when the good Senator Ed
munds, the autocrat of the Senate and the
greatest stickler for senatorial dignity,
walked modestly into the room the other
morning with flannel shirt He appeared
little hesitating about it, as though he real
lied the breach of dignity he committed in
appearing in the sacred Senate Chamber
without boiled Shirt but everybody for
gave him. and many more will initiate him.
But flannel shirt in the United States

After the battle of Cedar Creek, President
Lincoln and Secretary Stanton agreed that
Sheridan should receive some special recog-
milton for that great exploit. They promoted
him to be a major-general in the regular
army. and when the commission was made
out the President decided that it should be
sent to the general, who still lay near Cedar
Creek, by an unusual messenger. L was
