The Mixer of Drinks.

people do not want to be given unnecessary
trouble through the stupidity Of the mixer
of their drinks Just in the middle of good
story, or just as the point OF an anecdots has
been arrived at, the stupid bartender gets the
orders mixed and is compelled to ask every
body again or serve you something you never
thought of ordering. He interrupts the COM
pany without conjunction Of conscience, and
the company and story are utterly broken up
and knocked end wise. He becomes unduly
familiar, but nevertheless never fails to for
get the sort of drink you like, never rerner-
bers your name, gives you vichy instead Of
seltzer to mix with your liquor, and in
dozen other ways makes you wish he was
1000 miles away or else understood his bust

circulated and by midnight a majority of
the men were under its influence. At this
time a quarrel occurred upon the floor be
tween Beam and Phillips. in which sew
eral others joined. Pistols were at once
drawn and firing was at once begun in the
ball room full of women. A terrible scene
ensued. When the smoke cleared away
Beam was found on the floor shot through

titled today as confederates of Keith. and
the evidence against the trio of robbers is
very strong.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27-A meeting was
held at the Academy of Music this evening
to enforce and endorse the recommends
tons of President Arthur and President
Cleveland for revenue reform. The meet
ing was called to order by Mr., William
NJ. Singerly, proprietor of the Philadelphia

the stage were over 200 Philadelphia
citizens of both parties, among them ex-
Governor Henry NJ. Hoyt and his success
sor, Ex-Governor Robert Pattison.
When Mr.. Welsh assumed the duties OF
the chair he said that the significance OF

A StOrg of Lincoln.

Mr.. Lincoln persistently declined to read
the harsh comments of the newspaper press
and the fierce mouthings of platform orators,
and under his advice as persistently refused
to make any public statement concerning
that i'll judged affair. He believed with Sir
Walter Scott, that if a cause of action is
good it needs no vindication from the actors
motives; if bad it can derive none. When
suggested to him that the SANDER ought to be
refuted-that word from him would silence
his defamers-Mr Lincoln replied with great
earnestness mo, Hill; there has already
been too much said about this falsehood. Let
the thing alone If | have not established
character enough to give the lie to this
charge can only say that am mistaken in
my own estimate of myself In politics every

REMOVAL OF A RAILWAY STATION.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27-The question of
the removal of the Baltimore & Potomac
railroad station, which has engaged the
minds of the citizens of Washington for
the past few months and is now about to
come up for further discussion before the
senate committee on the District of Co
lumbia, bids fair to become matter, not
only of local. but of national interest.
especially to the travelling public Years
ago when the PENNSYLVANIA rail
road company by the expendi-
ture of "a large amount of
money, completed its line to Washington,
it fixed its terminal station at what was
considered the most convenient spot in
the city. handsome station was erected
and the result was generally hailed with
delight as an enterprise which would prove
of great benefit to the capital. 1t placed the
city in communication with the north east
and west, at the same time enabled the
southern lines to set down their passen-
gers in the heart of the city, or deliver
them to their connection without the
necessity for the tedious transfer pre-
vionsly required The agitation of re-
moving the present situation was started
by residents in close proximity to the
tracks, who claim that they We're ANNOYED
and that the entrance of the road on Sixth
street marred the beauty of the govern
ment hall in that section. 1t is under
stood that President Roberts has liz
formed the committee of the willing
ness OF the railroad company to overcome
the latter objection, by the erection of GER
tain handsome designs of masonry. The
proposed new site is Immediately south of
the capitol. and by far less favorably To-
Gated for travellers, and the railroad people
argue that very few, if any, of the defects
urged against the present, will be over
come by removal to the new site The sen
ate committe will, on Saturday hear Presi-
dent Roberts and Messrs. John p. Green,
John Scott and other prominent represen-
tatives of the Pennsylvania railroad in OBJ
position TO the proposed transfer.

phia talking tariff reform before such an
audience OF Philadelphia business men and
manufacturers as this. But there is some
thing wrong in Pennsylvania. The people
of this state have not been without a labor
strike for the past ten years
When labor is disconnected the sys-
tenn must be wrong. The surest guar
antee of the perpetuity of this government
is the content and tranquility of labor. We
don't have that now, because our system Is
false. and we must abandon it. What IS
wanted is for the people. the Iaboring peo-
pie to get out of their minds the idea that
the labor of America needs protection
against the pauper labor OF Europe, and
to get into the mind that the hest protec-
ton for labor is independent manhood.
The idea OF protecting our infant indus
tries. The oldest of these infants in this
country is now nearly 100 years old, and
still has its mouth to the sucking bottle
Referring to President Cleveland mes
sage, the speaker said that he was proud
to live in a day when man could be elect
ed the chief magistrate OF the nation brave
enough and honest and mindful enough of
his obligations to the people who could,
with the presidency in his gift, lay it aside
for his duty
The following platform was then adopt
ed: Tax reduction is a necessity. There
can be no successful defense Of fiscal
policy which takes more money out of the
pockets of tax payers than is necessary
for economical administration of the
government. The remedy for excessive
revenue is revised taxation. President
Arthur recommended TO this aid the aboli-
ton of the tobacco tax, an enlargement of
the free list, and simplification and re
duction of duties on cotton, iron. steel.
sugar. wool and woolens. President
Cleveland recommends free raw materials
of manufacturers and such other tariff re-
duction on the necessarles OF living as
shall afford the greatest possible relief
of the public burden. Believing that a
substantial reduction of tariff is de
manded, not by mere indiscriminate
public clamor, but by the best conservative
opinion of the country. including that
which has in former times been most siren
uouS for the preservation OF our national
industrial defenses, and that such reduc
ton should be not only a
due recognition of public sentiments
and measures of justice to the
consumers but one conducive to the gen
eral industrial prosperity, and beneficial to
the special interests affected, it is hereby
resolved:
First, That existing duties upon raw
materials which are to be used in manu-
facttIres should be removed.
Second, That the duties, upon the articles
used or consumed by those who are least
able to bear the burden OF taxation should
be reduced
