THE MOUNTAIN HAS LAsoREp.

The Mills tariff bill Is out. After two
months of secret sessions, at which none
but Democratic members of tho house
Ways and means committee were per.
mitted to be present, Mr.. Mills, the
Texas member who heads the commit
tee. has finally made a report. The secret
manner in which tho majority of the
committee did it's work shows that it is
purely bipartisan measure designed 70,
partisan purposes. Tho Republican
members of the committee were not
permitted to see the bill until it was re.
ported to the house and to the world.
Is it q free trade measure? It ia and
it isn't. 1t is a free trade measure so far
as it pertains to articles produced in to-.
publican states; 1t is q protection meas-
ure when dealing with articles produced
in Democratic states. This ia the e..
senceo Of tho Mills bill, the only notable
exception being in the item of wool,
which Is placed on tho free list. Texas
is the only Democratic state that will
suffer from free wool, but Texas is so
solidly and tenaciously Democratic that
Mr.. Mills concluded to take chances in
that state this time. If Texas should
kick too bard, Mr.. Mills and his par,i.
sans are equal to the emergency Of put.
ting a tariff on wool after the vote il
taken for president next fall.
Coal and iron, now grown to be giant
industries of the Democratic south, are
not put on the free list. In this partic.
ular the Democratic profession that these
articles should be c~heapened for the ben
eft of western farmers IL left with q good.
sized hole in it. Tho same is true with
regard to.sugar, rice and cotton-exclu.
sively southorn productions-only q
worry slight reduction being made
on these articles. The reduction on
sugar will average 25.l0o per cent,
while fax and ia manufactures,
which are largely the products Of the
north and west, are placed on the free
list. As showing the view that western
or agricultural congressman take Of the
fax reduction, Mr.. Lind of Minnesota,
whose district produces 81, OO0,O 900
worth OF flax each year, says: "If 1
should vote for this bill l need not re.
turn to my district for reelection"
Salt is put upon the free list. A con
gresham from tho Republican state of
Michigan says: 1.-THE bill leaves nv

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1O.-A local
paper quotes an "Ex-Representative
from West Virginia as saying: West
Virginia may be counted for Cleveland.
Oar people have been fairly pleased with
the Federal appointments, and although
there is difference OF opinion in the mining
districts on the tariff question, yet it is not
serious enough to affect the Administra-
ton or the party. West Virginia is Dem
ocratic always on full vote, notwith-
standing the scare that takes place every
two years wnon Congressional elections
are pending. The recent troubles there
were ard are purely local, or rather per-
sOnal, and viii not affect national politics.
The only Republican who had ghost OF a
chance with us was Blaine. | say was
because we thiuk that ghost is laid by his
own hand"
''Who will West Virginia support for
Vice Pfesident?" asked your representa-
tive.
II have heard no one spoken of there
except Senator Kenna," was the reply.
81 am confident he would get the unani-
nous voice of the State. But we West
Virginia Democrats ere little modest,
and We will not push our claims, if indeed
we can be said to have any. No. there has
been no canvass in the Safe for Vice Presi-

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.
A Solid Cleveland Deleg alton to st Louis
Who WIN be Chosen.

A Solid Cleveland Deleg alton to st Louis.
Who VIII be Chosen.
New YORK, April 10.-Tha Democfatic
leaders of both Tammany Hall and the
County Democracy are busily engaged just
now canvassing as to who shall be the
delegates to the National Convention at st,
Louis. The delegation from this city will
be evenly divided between the two organi-
cations. Four years ago Irving Hall had
one delegate. This year no representation
will be given to that faction. The German
element among the voters will be recog-
nized, however, by the selection of VIM.
Steinwsy as one of the delegates. He will
probably be credited to Tammsny Hall
There are four names which will almost
certainly be found in the Tammauy dele
CATION. These are Fire Commissioner
Michael Croker, Sheriff Hugh j. Grant,
Congressman W. Bourke Cochran and Dep
uty County Clerk Thomas F. Gilroy.
The county Democracy will certainly
name as delegates ex-Mayor Cooper, Fire
Commission ]. r. voorhees,, Police Justice
Maurice J. Power and District Attorney
]. 4. Fellow. Cochran and Fellows are
relied upon as the spokesman of their del
egations on the floor OF the convention.
The combined delegation from this city
will be Cleveland one. Whatever chance
Gov. Hill may have had at one time to So
cure thesuppOrto of Tammany Hall has now
disappeared. The Tammsny leaders have
undoubtedly received assurances from Pres
ident Cleveland that that organization will
stand hereafter on the same footing as the
county Democracy, so far as patronage is
concerned. In fact, for some time Tammany
Hall has received good share Of Federal
patronage, although no large offices have
been given to it.

THE FREIGHT WAR
Still Goes on--The Burlington Against the
Rock Island.

Still Goes on-The Burlington Against the
Rock Island.
CHICAGO, April 10.-Considerable con-
sternation has been caused in the ranks Of
the Burlington's competitors, who ad-
vanced their rates March %, by auuounc-
that the rates on corn and oats from Iowa,
Minnesota and Nebraska to Chicago were
not included in the advance, made by the
Burlington yesterday in accordance with
the agreement that the Burlington would
continue to charge war rates On those
articles up 10 and including April
Is. The Rock Island most earnestly
desired the restoration of grain rates by
the Burlington than rates on any other ar
tieles, The great bulk Of the Rock Islands
present business Is corn from Western
Iowa. There is little corn on any Of the
other Iowa lines, and the Burlington is
about the only line that can get into the
Rock Island corn belt The continuance
of low rates by Darlington will have the
effect OF diverting considerable of the corn
traffic from the Rock Island and it is vir-
tually q notice to the latter to hereafter
show more amiabls spirit towards the
Burlington.
