The Home Club OF Boston, invited
General II. A. Alger, of Michigan. to
deliver an address upon the tariff in
Boston and, in his reply, declining the
invitation. he thus sets forth his views
on the tariff: "There is no doubt in
my mind that the present tariff laws
should be thoroughly ove"hauled, from
the first item on the list to the last.
believe the policy should be to abolish
all duties on productions that do not
conflict with our home products and
industries. While l would make these
reductions as far ss practicable. l
would not disturb the duty on the ar
ticles produced in this country that
would open our markets to foreign
1compesition so as TO reduce i'm any
measure the present rates of labor.
Still further, If it is necessary to thor
oughly protect home Industries upon
any article or articles. would increase
the duty to point that would abso
lntely protect them against such re
duction of wages"

The national government in the
French republic costs about $40 for
each person in the country in the Unit
ed States, less than So per head. No
one would think so from the groanings
and complaints of democratic free
traders and their organs. Taxation is
less, and our public debt is less than
that of any other country. and what
we do owe was saddled on the govern
ment by those who are kicking against
providing for its payment.

Tariff Prospects.

The tariff bill of the majority OF
the ways and means committee is to
be reported this week 1t will pass
the house only by some miracle. One
hundred mem bers have put themselves
down for speeches. The majority OF
these will get 'leave to print" and fool
some of their granger constituents in
to believing that the speeches were
actually delivered before the House.
But even with these counted out, there
will still be enough bona fide speakers
to fill up the rest OF the session. Be-
sides, there are all the appropriation
bills and important legislation on
coast defenses and other subjects SO
that every minute of the session from
now on is spoken tor by the ordinary
business of the house. Very little of
it will be accomplished, and the house
will probably go into history as one OF
the most inefficient that has ever met
at Washington. Moreover the major,
| ity of the comiLitte has refused the
minority all voice or consideration in
the tariff revision. Petitions and
documents have been thrown into the
waste basket without glance. Even
Lie the bill were the acme of wisdom
it would and should stand M chanc'
of enactment when bulldozed through
as this has been. Detroit Journal.

How to Grow Tomatoes in Perfec.
tlOn


Because the generous nature of the
tomato yields bountifully with seem
ingly little care and attention, the gen
eral impression prevails that the plant
requires but little attention. This is a
sad mistake, for there is not a vegetable
in the garden that is so gross feeder,
nor one that so readily pays for all the
food and care given las the tomato. To
grow it to the greatest perfection, the
hills should be dug out to the depth of
two and half feet; at the bottom
there should be half bushel of we'll
rotted manure; above this let the soil
be an equal mixture of loan and ma
nure thoroughly mixed. The hills
should be at least six feet apart. Let
the situation be open, warm, airy
When the fruit begins to set mulct
with clean straw or very small brush
Under these conditions six plants will
furnish sufficient tomatoes for fami
ly of twelve persons. Whateve va
riety may be planted in this manner
the result will show specimens for size
smoo.hness, and esculent properties
unknown to the variety when grow

The National Executive Committee fin
 Session i'm New Nork.


 NEW YORK, July 25.-The members of the Democratic National Executive Committee were slow in reaching headquarters this morning, although call for a meeting had been issued. Chairman Boice was oE hand, however, before 10 o'clock. He did not wait for his colleagues. He went at once to his rooms on the second floor, and, with his sec retary, began his days work. Nothing seems to weary him. He directs national canvass, looks after his vast financial interests, an- swers hundreds of applications for clerk ships, and has to deal with hundreds of bores who frequent headquarters every day, and yet he never loses his look of serenity.
 About noon the executive committee went into sessions and did not adjourn until or 6 o'clock. The exact purpose of such a long session could not be ascertainsd, but the wiseacres about headquarters say that the object is to make arrangements for obtaining direct communications with the committees in different states and to consider arrange ments for getting speakers for the campaign.
 Senator Germans confirmed absence from headquarters causes some comment. He is not disgruntled because another man was made chairman of the executive committee. He has gone down to West Virginia to look after his railroad interests there. He will be in town by the end of the week.
 Yesterday Congressman W. L. Scott secured a weeks leave of absence from Congress and arrived here to-day.
 Among the visitors to-day were ex-Con- gressman Benjamin Le Eevre and G. Mo- Ciellan,

MURDERESS CHIARA.
OMacials Say She Xs Not a Subject For
 Sympathy.


 NEW YORK, July 25.-No news was received from the Governor to-day in relation to the commutauon of the sentence of Mrs. Cignarsle.
 At the office of Howe & Hummel reporter was informed that the Governor was quite busy. and they did not expect that he would take any action in the case for few days at least.
 At the Tombs Warden Osborne said that the condemned woman was feeling terribly depressed over the denial of the announce ment that her sentence had been commuted, but Counsellor Howe had called and cheered her up with new hope.
 Several of the officials at the Tombs, while in conversation with the reporters said the woman Is not a case for sympathy.
 'Why shouldn't she hang" said one official, ''the treacherous woman committed a cow srdly and cold blooded murder. She had two fair and impartial trials, and was convicted of murder in the first degree. This talk about her being sick and about to die is all bosh, and only gotten up to excite sympathy lam around the Tombs all the time and every day I see her. She does not look as If she were dying.

 OTTAWA, Ont. July 25.-There has been some terrible blundering in forwarding troops to Skeena Forks, the scene of the Indian up- rising in British Columbia, which, according to advices from the Pacific to-day, may result in the complete annihilation of the expedi- tionary force now on their way up Skeena River.
 Too late the militia department here discov- CT that they have made a most serious blun- der in the route of transport in sending troops up Skeena River, which has to be un- dertaken in canoes through a country report ed to be literally alive with hostile Indians armed with repeating Winchester rifles and strongly entrenched all along the river in the high, impregnable bluffs which bound 1t on either side.
 The Mass River route would have taken the expedition through country not infested with hostile Indians up to within short dis tance from where it was expected the first engagement would take place.
 It is stated by traders recently down from the scene of trouble that the Indians are act ively preparing to resist an attack, and have entrenched themselves all along the river, from which position twenty Indians could wipe out the whole detachment without fear of losing man.

 At the close of the breakfast the farewells were cordial in the extreme and when, shortly after, the Czar and Czarina left the vessel, the monarchs saluted each other profoundly.
 Preparations were then made for the sail ing of the Hohenzollern, and very soon after wards she steamed away for Stockholm amid the salutes of the surrounding fleet and fort resses.

 NEW YORK, July 25.-The failure of L. M. Bates made 8 decided sensation. No definite estimate of the assets or liabilities can be made up for some time. A great deal depends on what san be got out of the assets of the firm of Bates, Reed & Cooley, which all went to MT. Bates at the dissolution of the firm In 1885, MT. Bates thinks that the stock Is about of the same value now as when he bought the building from Conkling & Chivvis on Dec. 16 last for S225, 900.
 Another judgme was confessed this morn. ing. It Is in favor of the Garfield National bank for $5S. 800 for money lent. The amount lent was $100. 600 between Dec. 16 and 20 last, which all has been repaid except the amount of this judgment. It was entered in the county clerks office, and leaves only about $5O,OO0 not in judgment. This $50,0OO Is merchandise debts, the balance of S15O, 900 which he had reduced that much within two months.
 The judgments now confessed, besides that of the Garfield bank this morning are H. H. Clehan Co., $19. .712; Martha A. Bates (his wife). $56, 5S5 and Daniel H. Mills, $50, ,o16, the last two for borrowed mouey-a total of $179- 76S. MT. Bates lost ESQ., 900 recently by the failure of Metcaf Brothers & Co.,, of Detroit, in which company he had $50,000 of stock. In his present business he has no partners, the Co. being merely nominal. He had ex- pected to take his son in with him shortly.
 MT. Bates came to New York from Vermont and first entered business as member of the firm of Vincent, Clark & Co.,. dry goods, at No. 29 Warren streets, in 1854. This firm was I<,l hxvk A.v~, 1R noSao R~ Ho which continued until 1880, when they were succeeded by Bates. Reed < Cooley. The last-named firm was dissolved in 1885, MT. Bates assuming all the business, The loca- tions of the business during this time changed from Warren street to No. S3 Broadway, then to No. 541 Broadway, and afterward at Broadway and Leonard street.
 During this business MT. Bates money was made chiefly in the jobbing trade, and it is said that many of his friends advised him against going into the retail business. Last February he reported to Bradstreets that he was worth from $450, 900 to $500 900, and his wife was worth $150, ,0OO in her own right. MT. Bates has been for many years treas- urer of the New York Infant asylum and also recently president of the Mutual Life Insur- ! ance Company. His personal attorney is his son, William G. Bates. Although he never held any political office. MT. Bates always has been an active republican, and as a well known merchant he has won great esteem in | this city. This Is said to be his first embar- rassmen: in business.
