THE opinion stills prevails here
respecting the Presidents message
on the Canadian fisheries treaty that
the Republicans, having made that
treaty political game, are now mad
because the President has beat them.
Some of the Republican Senators
now confess that they were in favor
of the treaty and feared that some,
thing like what has happened would
result from its defeat, but that they
were compelled to vote against it by

THURMAN ON TARIFF.

A tariff is a tax that is paid by the
consumer of the so.called protected
articles. He pays it, not to the tax
gatherer, not to any officer Of the
Government. but he pays 1t in the
price he gives for every protected
article that he buys,-Judge Thur
man at Toledo.
/ have heard in long political
experience a great many attempts to
humbug the people, but of all the
attempts that ever 1 have seen or
heard, the pretension that a high
protective tariff is for the benefit Of
the laboring man is the greatest
humbug Thurman at Della
ware, Ohio.
Xxx
When a man tells a laboring man
that tariff taX-for tariff is moth
ing but a tax-which taxes him in
the price he pays for everything he
wears, from the crown of his head to
the soles Of his feet, is a good thing
for him, answer that is an absurdity.
What man ever got rich by having
his hard earnings taken out of his
pocket by taxation?-Judge Thur
man at upper Sandusky.
Xxx
What is tariff? It is tax; a
tax levied by the General Govern
ment upon the commodities that the
laboring man as well as other men
use. 1t is a tax that takes a hold Of
everything from the Gown of your
head to the soles Of your feet; that
taxes your hat, your coats, your
vests, your breaches. your boots. your
shoes; that taxes every implement
which you use in your mechanical
and agricultural operations.-Judge
Thurman at Delaware, Ohio.

READINGS MEN MAY BREAK.
The Feeling Shown at Two Meetings
Causes the Supposition.

READING, Pa, Jan. 1.-Two meetings
We're held in this city to-day of Reading
railroad employees The employees conven-
tion which met here over two weeks ago
and ordered the present strike, met first.
About 150 delegates were present. Reports
We're received from number of delegates,
the substance Of which was that the com
pany'S business was badly crippled
at Port Richmond, Pottsville, Palo Alto,
Shamokin, and Gordon and Mahanoy
Plane. Coal traffic, it was stated, was at a
stand-stlll. Visitors from the mining re-
glons upon invitation reported that the
miners were with the railroaderS and would
not go back until all their difficulties We're
settled. Coal mining, it was reported, was
completely tied up in the Schuylkil coal
regions.
A meeting of the New Reading Railroad
Employees District Assembly No 224,
which will ultimately include all the hands
employed by the company was subsequent
ly held. T. w. Hawman, of this city, pre-
sided. A number of assemblies were ad-
mitted, but permanent organization was
postponed until the next meeting i'll Potts
vile, sometime in April Impartial OBJ
servers of the proceedings to-day believe
that within the coming week break in the
strike will come. Not coal train passed
down the road to-day.
KNIGHTS MAY INSTITUTE A SUIT.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Jan. 15.-For sew
eral days there has been under considera-
ton by leading men in the order of the
Knights of Labor the advisability of bring
ing suit by the Commonwealth through the
Attorney General against the Philadelphia
and Reading Railroad and Coal and Iron
Company to compel them to do certain
things which it is alleged they are obliged
to do under their charter and
various privileges granted by the State.
One charge is that the companies, by refus-
ing to settle with the men, are "corneringn
coal and other necessaries for the purpose
of enhancing their values and extorting ex-
orbitant prices from the community.
Another charge relates to the responsibility
Of the companies as common carriers, it
being alleged that ON account of the com
panies' action men are employed who do not
give the best of service and whose
efforts result in delay and
loss to the community. There are other
charges which have been discussed, and it is
said that some legal proceedings will shortly
be instituted.

She Defles Court and Lawyers and Is
Locked Up for Contempt.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 12.-In Euclid avenue
there is a fine mansion, and over the front
door, in fancy letters, are the words: Has
ten the coming and speed the parting
guest" The mistress is Mrs. Josephine
Ammon. Until recently a Miss Blann,
worth 10000 and alleged TO be simple
minded has boarded with Mrs. Ammon.
Recently Miss Blann's guardian took steps
to have her removed to more congenial
quarters, but the girl could not be found.
Detectives and deputy sherfffs have hunted
Mrs Ammon was finally summoned to
court to tell what she knew of the girls
whereabouts. She defied the Court and
lawyers for two days, and this morning she
was fined 800 and committed to Jail for
contempt. She was locked in a cell, but
declares she will never yield. The case has
created an immense sensation.
Josephine Blann is As years old, has once
been married, and is of feeble mind. She
is in sympathy with Mrs Ammon, and
against her guardian. Mrs. Ammon is a
widow, rich and very strong minded.
Josephine Blann is said to be in town, and
all the force in the Sheriff's Office have been
searching for her for two weeks. Many
clews have been wrongly followed with
ridiculous results, and by her ready tongue
and sharp pen, used for the benefit of the
newspapers, Mrs. Ammon has kept up
steady fire on the authorities. She prom
ises to continue it in letters from the county

CHARLESTON CHAT.
The City's New Police Station-The
Late "Tremblelore."

Late "Tremblelore."
CHARLESTON, Jan. 15.-The new police
station will be ready for occupancy shortly.
The building is not really what it was
thought it would be, but it will doubtless
serve its purpose very well. 1t is due the
contractors to state that they are not
responsible for any shortcomings in the
erection. The plans were drawn out by the
City Engineer, and had these been carried
out the building would doubtless have been
perfect of its kind, but during the
course of construction those who had
charge of supervising the work directed
certain changes which the contractors
were of course bound to make, and these
changes, in the opinion of those who know
anything about it, do not add to the useful
ness of the building. The police force will
probably move into it in a fortnight. The
old station-house at the intersection of
Broad and Meeting streets, one of the four
landmarks Of that historic spot, is to be
pulled down, the site having been purchased
by the Federal government for the erection
of post Office and court house.
The tremblelore of Thursday.last was an
unpleasant shock to Charleston. 1t has been

BLUE BLOODED NUNS.
Property Worth 100000 at Stake
in Church Fight.

in Church Fight.
PITTsBURG, Jan. 15.-The Times to-mor-
row will publish a two column article, of
which the following is a condensation:
Shortly after the Franco-Prussian war
nine choir nuns came to Pittsburg from
France to establish a school for young
ladies' The nuns contr Juted money
from their own purses, purchased
land and erected buildings thereon. They
secured a charter from the State of Penn
Sylvana for an educational institution. No
mention of religion was made in the
charter, but the lncorporatOrs are described
as members ofr-ethe UrSuline Order of
Nuns. These ladies by teaching have
made graet deal of money, and the prop
erty is now worth over $500, 900. There has
all along been a conflict of authority be-
tween the Bishop of this Diocese and the
sisters, the Bishop claiming spiritual
authority and the sisters insisting that their
property was the result of their own
labor. Lawyers confirmed the title
of the sisters but they did not take the ad-
vice and the property is advertised for sale.
Recently the Bishop deposed the head
Mother Alphonse, and appointed another
nun TO be Mother Superior. Six or seven of
the original nine nuns have decided to
follow Mother Alphonse and it is
probable that they will return to France.
Interest centres on the question will the
Ursuline nuns exercise their legal rights to
receive the proceeds of the sale. Additional
interest attaches to the case from state
ment made by lady member of one of the
oldest Pittsburg families that Mother
Alphonse is a Duchess of France and
that another of the nuns, Sister Emanuel,
is a Bourbon Countess and cousin of the
ex-EmpresS Eugene.
