THE New York Evening Post says
The recent election has shown where
the tariff reform clubs can put their
most effective work, namely, among
the workingmen of the large cities
the very ones who were SO pelted
during the recent campaign with
wage statistics and quotations from
English papers, forgeries and others.
The returns show that this rubbish
was wasted on the workingmen.
They didn't believe a word of it.
The Republicans, on the whole, lost
votes in the manufacturing centers,
where people meet and talk, and hear
debates and take part in them. They
gained in the rural districts, where
the poor, taX-ridden farmer IS still
gulled, and gulled more than ever,
with the idea that by paying taxes
for somebody else's benefit myster
ious subterrancan stream of wealth
will gush out of his doorway by and
by. He has been waiting for it all
his lifetime, and it has not come.

THAT SENATE BILL.

Sherman, answering the question,
"What will the Republicans do about
the revenue9'' answers: "The Senate
bill will probably pass, but with many
amendments" Just so. We have
all along known that Sherman totally
disapproved of many of the principal
features of the thing called the Senate
bill, except as an electioneering docu-
ment. Considered in any other light,
the bill is fantastic tumble and ar
rant fraud, that mikes up sectional
considerations with political bun
combe in the most ridiculous fashion
imaginable. Senator Sherman knows
this as well as we do, because he
helped frame the abortive thing, and
was among the first to abandon all
pretense OF even passing it through
the Senate as a substitute for the
Mills bill. 1t has served its turn; the
"many amendments the Senator
mentions, literally understood, mean
that the bill will be reconstructed
from end to end. No Congress would
dare pass it in anything like its pres
ent shape; if the Republicans were to
do that they would encounter a cy-
clone in 1892 that wouldn't leave
enough of their party to count.

superb. The lady sat at the head of
the table and behind her stood a sa-

solid silver waiter, ready to attend
upon us. Covers had been laid for
no guests besides we three and we sat
down in fine humor with ourselves

EDITOR HALsTEAD, of the Cincin-
matt Commercial, who has said more
hard things of the South than any
other editor, is growing quite conser-
vative. He says: "Our Southern
Republican friends must be prudent,
or they will waste a great and bene-
fetal opportunity; and this means
something more than the qualification
of a thirst for office, or Solicitude to
average wrongs. The sneers at the
Hayes administration is unwarranted.
The situation was such when Grant
left the presidency that Hayes could
not do otherwise than he did. The
bayonet was played out. Public
opinion had ceased to sustain it. We
do not want the South, though the
blacks, to have such a relation to the
Republican party as the late solid
South had for the Democratic party"

Mine Hunting by Clairvoyants.

The mining prospector stands in danger Of
losing his vocation. A man need no longer
shoulder pick and a shovel and spend days,
weeks and months in travelling the noun
tains and gulches in search Of the precious
metals. The "magnetizer' has done away
with all that. All that a man requires TO do
now is to be put to sleep or Inesnerized and
started of TO discover mine / met q

that he had colored man whom be had sent
all over the country while asleep, and who
had visited a certain spot in an Arizona min

to be an immense mine. Ore indicators

demand to locate ore In mines which are now
equipped with all but that.-Janes Haskell

At an early hour the other morning Carl
Seiffert had sanguinary tussle with a
dummy Indian which was peacefully doing
duty as cigar sign in front Of North
avenue store. All the blood that was shed
flowed from Carrs veins, and, though he
knocked out" his man, he was much the
worse for the encounter. To the policeman
who released the red man from Carls wise
like grip he said the Indian struck him first
and he didn't propose to be insulted by any

HoeE AND MURPHY ARRESTED.

HOGG ANU MURPHY ARRES I'D.
CHICAGO, July 10.-Chairman Hoge, of
the grievance committee of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers. and Chair
man Murphy, occupying the same position
in the Firemens' Brotherhood, were ar
rested at their rooms in the National hotel
this morning The prisoners were taken
completely by surprise. Both men were
taken to police headquarters and locked
up. The two chiefs were charged with
conspiracy. The much talked of circular
in which Hoge is alleged to have requested
brotherhood men to hire themselves
secretly to the CO.. road and then disable
the engines, is said to be the basis Of the
charge against Hoge. Chairman Muir
ply is charged with being an
accomplice. General Manager Stone
swore out the warrants last
night and they were given to the officers
to be served early this morning. Attorney
Collier Of the So road said this morning
that the prisoners would be arranged be-
fore justice and conference taken as
the company was not yet ready to push its
case He asserts that the evidence in the
possession of the company was conclusive.
Hoge and Murphy was taken before
Judge r. II. White, but asked for change
of venue. Upon the prisoners being
brought to Justice Lion the railroad at
torney asked continuance. The justice
was about to fix the bail at $1,000 apiece
when the company's lawyers protested and
after some parley the amount was in
creased to 81 500 for each of the men.
Bonds were promptly furnished and Hoge
and Murphy released until saturday.
Unlike the other strikers arrested they are
arraigned under state not federal
statutes Their arrest was made under
the recently enacted Murray conspiracy
law. If convicted the penalty is term at
hard labor in the pcnitentiary. Two other
names were on the list with Hoge and
Murphy for arrest, John j. Kelly and John
II. McGillivary A consultation of the of
ficers OF the company led to the arrests.
Two or three detectives, Manager Stone,
Freight Agent Paul Morton and Attorney
Collier were working all night on the evil
dence against the alleged conspirators.
and it was not until an early hour this
morning that they decided to arrest Hoge
and Murphy. Then the little party broke
I'D. the warrants were procured and the
officials retired for a few hours of rest.
Then they arose to watch the result of
their work.
"Well, we've landed our men," said
Paul Morton to a reporter soon alter the
announcement of the arrests were made.
what do these arrests signify"
''They mean that Mr.. Hoge and Mr. |
Murphy have been arrested for criminal
conspiracy in connection with that circu- |
lar, and think we can prove that the cir
cular came from them"
No more arrests will be made in this city
it is said, but it is limited that several
strikers in other places will be behind the
bars before long.

DON'T BLAME THEM.
German Don't Want the Craftsmanship
and Randall Goes to Europe.

NEW York, July 10.-The Times says
there were rumors about the Fifth Avenue
hotel during last evening to the effect that
some difficulty had been experienced in
finding chairman for the executive COM
mittee Of the Democratic national commit
tee 1t was said that Senator Arthur H.
German. of Maryland. had been asked to
accept the Craftsmanship, which involves
the management of the campaign, and
that he had refused When the attention
of Congressman W. L. Scott, of Erie, was
called to the rumor he said: Il never knew
that Mr.. German had been offered the
place"
In consequence of Mr.. Germans refusal
it is thought that Calvin S. Brice, of Ohio,
will be chairman. 1t was also said by sew
eral Republicans about the hotels that
Congressman Samuel J. Randall, of Penn
sylvania intended to go to Europe for sew
eral months.
