Jusr THE PoTNT.-In his speech con-
corning the tariff, on the 25th ultlmo,
Nr. Bvnum Of the Ways and Means
Committee referred TO the petition OF the
manufacturers aud shippers of pine ium-
Der on the Pacific coast, and pointed Out
the hypocrisv of these men, who have
united in bind Of trust, and by prevent
ing competition have been making enof-
nous profits ont of the necessities OF the
people. They declared that II the duty
of & per Thousand feet should be cut oil,
the business of Supplying lumber on lhe
Pacific slope would be transferred 10
British Columbia Foreign houses,
they said. will establish branches al each
coast port, and the entire manufacturing
and hauling trade will he in alien hands,
leaving the American citizens who pay
taxes nothing but the privilege OF paying
cos, and profit to the alien who does
not."-N. Y. Timo.
GoyEESMES~ observation-disclosures,
il seems, incines 10 establish a geological
garden at Washngt n in connection with
The National Museum.
There IS already small collection Of
rare native animals near the museum, but
no provision is made for their keeping
So many peculiarly American animals are
becoming scarce that some provision Tor
keeping specimens in captivity and thus
preserving beasts which in few years
will be extinct seems proper. The buffalo
is already almost extinct. The mountain
goat. mountain sheep, American lynx.
panther, and other animals are assiduously
hunted for their skins, and are becoming
rare.-N Y Herald.
The New York World, referring 10 the
State convention which met yesterday,
saws that Cleveland is the fore
gone conclusion. and adds that Every
day furnishes unmistakable indica-
tions that the Democratic party is
united and earnest in support OF
the policy of tariff reduction and reform.
The latest and most significant proof OF
this was supplied by the action of the
Democratic Convention in Congressman
Foran's district, at Cleveland, Ohio, on
Saturday. Cleveland is an important
manufacturing city, situated in great
wool growing State. Representative
Foran has lately made a speech in the
House against the Malls bill Yet the
convention elected delegates 10 St Louis
over the Foran ticket, and adopted
resolution approving the Mills bill and
the Presidents message, and faycring
"a tariff Tor revenue, aud that alone.
MuLEY HAssAN.-A dispatch from
Gibraltar 10 the Exchange Telegraph
Company concerning the settlement Of
the dispute between the United States
and Morocco says.
After the withdrawal OF the claims
for a money indemnify an apology was
rendered 10 the American Consul and
orders were given for the immediate
release of the persons whose arrest gave
rise 10 the trouble
Here is nice state OF affairs Pfesi-
dent Cleveland is being abused for recon-
mending an ENLARGEMENT of the free list,
yet Presidents Grant and Arthur, who
aid the zane thing, are not denounced as
enemies of American industry And
while Republican platforms declare for
}" revenue reform that party opposes ii
because the Republicans are in a minority

The unexpected purchase of $1,000, 900
bonds on Friday, at prices higher than
had previously been refused, was pre-
cisely what might have been looked for
if The Secretary of the Treasury had been
more interested in the stock market than
in pubic business In public needs no
reason for such a change appeared The
