Jonn jarrett, formerly President OF
the Amaigamated Association OF Iron
and Steel Workers, and Thomas Davi-
son, n potter employed in the Wheel
ing pottery, appeared on Saturday night
before Wheeling audience TO tell what
they know about Free Trade in England
and protective tarif'in America. These
men spoke from the point OF view of the
tin.bucket brigade, Of the men who go
to daily toll for daily wages. Their re-
marks were OF the most convincing
character--plain statements OF facts
within their own knowledge.
On the same day Mr.. Mills, Free Trade
chairman Of the Free Trade Ways and
Means Committee OF the House OF Rep
resentatives, made a Free Trade speech
in the Capital City OF this State, in
which speech Mr.. Mills dealt in theory
and in alleged statements OF facts con-
corning things Of which he has no per.
sonal knowledge. For example, he said
(see Register report, ''Now, as to the
benefits OF this high tariff. 1t does not
protect labor, it protects the product OF
labor, and they bclongto his employer"
Who should know better, men born and
raised on u British soil, who have
worked for British wages, and who pre-
fer American work at American wages,
or Mr.. Mills, who, perhaps, never saw
the inside Of a pottery or iron mill in
either country, and who endeavors by
pettiiogging his case-twisting theo.
ries to suit him--to make up for his lack
OF practical knowledge on the tariff.
On Saturday night MIR. Thomas Davi-
son made the first public speech Of his
life. John Jarrett has had good deal
OF experience OF late years as a leader OF
organized labor Mr.. Mills is talker
by trade and has had perhaps more
school education in one year than Jar
rett and Dawson have had in their
whole lives. Yet We should gladly trust
to Mr.. Dawson against Mr.. Mills IN
public discussion OF the cause OF the
American potter against that OF the for

Some suggestions to the State Fair People.
To he Editor Of he Rtcilg@err.
slR:-Permit me through the col
umns of your paper to call the attention
OF the board OF managers OF the West
Virginia Exposition and State Fair for
1855 to what / think is an oversight in
making up their premium list.
First-1hey have omitted the class for
thoroughbreds-a breed to which their
speed classes are all indebted for their
speed and endurance. That the thor
oughbred should be ignored, it seems to
me, is neither consistent or just.
SeCond-One OF the finest breeds OF
horses ever introduced into our country,
and which is now attracting the atten-
ton OF horse fanciers, has been omitted
or not given class. refer to the
Cleveland Bay. He is surely rs much
entitled to class US the Clydesdale and
English draft horse or the Norman or
Percheron, all OF whom have two dis
tinct classes assigned them.

PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY.
Mr. Rayard as Factor In the JUS
ticeship Appointment.

NEW YORK, April 1S.-Politcians in this
city discussed with the keenest interest to-
day the report that Senator Gray of Della
ware was likely to be appointed to the Chief
Justiceship. 1t is thought that marked
coolness has been developed between the
President and the Secretary of State. They
were at one time intimate personally, but
Secretary Bayard made many unfortunate
blunders, which have brought no credit to
the administration, and 1t is whispered that
there are now personal and private grounds
for disagreement between President Cleve-
land and the Secretary. 1t is thought, there
fore, by Democratic politicians here that the
President would welcome eagerly an oppor-
tunity to put in a new Secretary OF State
without leaving Mr.. Bayard stranded. III
Senator Gray should be appointed Chief JUS
tice, Secretary Bayard could undoubtedly, IL
he desired succeed him as senator from Del
aware. It has frequently been asserted that
the Secretary looks back with regret to the
wears of what he and his friends consider
honorable, useful and distinguished labor in
the highest legislative body, and he has not
been at all satisfied with his achievements as
Secretary Of State. Therefore, 1t Is thought
not improbable that he would gladly go back
to the Senate. In that case 1t was suggested
retary of State would be William c. Whit
ney. Mr.. Whitney's ambition has long been
recognized by politicians and others. AS
Secretary of State he would have an oppor-
tunity for larger social display, and for a
more conspicuous position in the eyes OF his
countrymen and OF the people OF other ma ma
tions than he now enjoys as Secretary OF the
Navy. 1t is generally believed that he hopes
some time in the future to secure the Demo-
cratic nomination for the presidency.

The Much Talked of Case Now on
Trial in Lewiston.

LEWISTON, April 1S.-The much talked oil
case, wherein John Brophy OF Lewiston
sues John Boand of Lewiston for the re-
covery of about $4,000 in gold and silver and
paper, alleged to have been misappropriated
by Boland. opened in the Supreme Court at
Auburn, before Chief Justice Peters, this
morning.
The court room was not crowded. Judge
Savage opened the plaintiffs case briefly
talking about twenty minutes and present
ing its salient points. 1t has been tried once
before in the S. j. court in Auburn-the jury
failing to agree upon verdict. 1t is SEN
sational case in many of its details. John
Brophy and his sister Julia lived together in
heir house on Lincoln street, Lewiston.
Julia Brophy was taken sick in August, 1887
and died On August 21st. That evening
friends gathered to see the corpse. :,
In the course Of the evening, $4,000 In gold,
silver aud paper disappeared from the leath-
ern-bound trunk in the up stairs room where
it was kept, and has never been seen since.
John Bowland, who. was about, the house
that night as friend of the family, has been
sued for its recovery. The action is a ciM
process A jury was drawn from the TWO
iuries In attendance. EX-Mayor Glllicuddy,
who appeared for the defendant, objected to
two or three who were drawn and they were
renlaced by others. f. A. C0nant OF Lewis
ton, was elected foreman.
Several witnesses testified to the presence
of Roland In the house when the money dls-
appeared. and to his knowledge OF the place
where il was kept.
