THE REPUBLICANS TARIFF BILL.

WASHINGTON, d. G.. Aug. THE SEN
ate tariff subcommittee is still at work
early and late upon the details of the
tariff bill, with the determination if pos
sib!e to make all necessary changes in
the original draft before it is reported

ptcting thereby to bring out a measure
which the majority in the senate can
stand by as a whole. 1t is at the same
time giving brief, informal hearings
to all who come. It began this morn

probability that three or four controvert-

committee for the present, and possi-

Mr.. Thurman Settled Their Difficulties and
They viii Remember Him.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. "A delegation
of fifteen persons, representing the coal
miners of the Hooking Valley, waited up
on Allen q. Thurman to day and invited
him to visit the valley and make a
speech, if he would, or merely hold re
ceptiOn at some central point. Two
years ago, when board of arbitrators,
consisting of minors and operatives
in this valley, could not agree, they
agreed to submit the matter to
Mr.. Thurman. This was done, and Mr..
Thurman decided that tho miners ought
to receive an increase of wages of 10 per
cent. From that time n period of pros
peritY in the valley began. The next
year the operators voluntarily increased
the wages 10 per cent. over the amount
given by Mr.. Thurman, and there have
been no strikes. The fact makes Mr..
Thurman very popular in the valley, and
explains the invitation extended to him
today.

| The pope is using his influence IN a
more Legitimate way thaa in meddiing
~ilh Irish politics when he sends car
| dinal to London to enlist British senti-
| ment against the African slave trade
for that is the present mission of Car
| dinal Lavigerie. The Roman Catholic
| missionaries, who are pressing into the
dark continent in the wake of the explOr-
ers, have reported to Rome the horrors
of this traffic, carried Oh by Arabs with
every circumstance of cruelty. The story
is not new; David Livingstone published
it to the world and it was the desire of his
great heart to arouse England against the
evil. Gordon longed more for power to
suppress the slave trade than for anything
else. Stanley cherishes this as his chief
ambition. Yet how great the difficulties
of the work are may be seen in the exper-
ience of both Gordon aud Stanley; the
EDglishman who as goVeror of the Egyp-
tian SOudan put 20 death many traders
and administered the severest check the
traffic ever received in that region, after
all had TO warrant the traders immunity
when he went to oppose the Mahdi, and
called for Zobehr, the head of the gang,
for his chief officer; and Stanley could not
find no man for his lieutenant SO fit as
TippOo TIb, the arch SLAYER of the Congo
region. There is nothing mere apprO-
pirate than to call upon England for ac-
tion in this matter. If it were the Eng
land of Wilberforce and Clarkson, the
sultans of Zanzibar and of Alden could be
coerced into active measures, and the
English responsibility in Egypt is un-
questionable.
