the manufacturing industries.
ReSOlUed, That while, as now, a protec-
tive tariff is maintained, which snbstsn-
TALLY protects impOrtstions of foreign
countries and many other articles of man
ufactured goods, we demand that the
duties on mutton sheep, and wool of all
kinds, shall be so increased as to equally
prohibit the importation of mutton, sheep
and wool of every kind which can, under
protection, be sufficiently produced at
fairly remunerstive prices in the United
States to supply all American wants, in
Guiding the better clsss of carpet woods,
especially as carpets, as luxuries, are en-.
titled to less favor than farm and ranch
products.
ResOlped, That the tariff on wool to make
carpets should at least be as high as that
importer to make coats.
Resolved, That if protection TO this ex-
tent be denied, we will call upon the farm
ers of the United States to assert their
power at the ballot-box and otherwise to
right the wrong and injustice Of discrimi-
nation against them.
ResOlUed, That the farmers Of the United
States are not called upon to support the

Special Ttle0rdm 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON, November 15.-The Rs
publican contestants for seats in Congress
from West Virginia have filed briefs with
the Clerk of tie House, demanding that
they be seated upon primG faeie showing.
The scheme is to have these briefs submit-
ted TO the House for immediate action, as
the clerk in making up the roll must be
governed by the Governors certificates,
but these last briefs of the contestants are
a piece of bluff Representative Grosvenor,
of Ohio, who is associated with the counsel
Of the West Virginia contestants, admits
that their g me cannot win. He says that
if it wsre not for the fact that
the Republicans have but bare majority
they would fight the matter cut at the be-
ginning and seat the Republicans before
organizing the House, but in the almost
helpless condition of the feeble majority he
admits that this ia imprsclicable; that 1t
would inevitably produce a partisan
wrAngle that would delay the organization
of the House, Col Grow enor realizes that
the Democrats would be,quick TO retaliate,
and that if the Republic a % objected to the
swearing in of any Democrats the leaders
Of the Democracy would retort by making
objections to an equal number Of Republi-
cans. This, as Grosvenor says, would re-
tsrd organization.

Archbishop Ireland says Restrictions VIII
Not be Removed.
BALTIMORE, November 15.-Archbsh-
op Ireland is very outspoken in declaring
that there is no probability that the Papal
ban against Masonry will be removed
"Masors," he said, ''have been and are
under the ban Of the Church, and any re-
port that that ban will be raised has no
foundation. The Catholic Church re-
quires-frst, that societies must OF in any
way conspire against the Church or civil
society; second, there must be no oath Of
obedience to an unknown superior or OF
secrecy on matters about which no knoWl-
edge is had at the time Of taking the oath;
third, II the society is made up Of CAlho-
lies and non-Oatholics there must be in the
rules and practices Of the society no recog-
n tion Of any other Church or any specific
practices Of any other Church. Any soci-
ETY. that does not run counter TO these prin-
oiples is not condemned. You will zee
from this that the Church cannot give ia
sanction to the Masonic fraternity, and IL
never will so long as il is at present consti-
tuted."

ATLANTA, GA, November 15.-The
Committee on Land resumed its report
Immediately after the convention wss
called to order, and continued until the
hour arrived when Colonel Livingston,
President of the Farmers Alliance, was to
be presented. A committee was appointed
to escort the representative Of the farmers
to the hall, and when they returned they
had with them besides Col. Livingston,
Judge Henderson, Commissioner OF Agri-
culture, R. F. Gray, editor of the National
Economist, and Mr.. Harry Brown, editor

Col. Livingston WAS received with i'm

had prevented his studying the objects OF

that when the convention met at ST. Louis

Col. Livingstone appeared before the Ma.

the aims and objects of the

it was shown conclusively that the ends for
which both orders are working are identi-
cal, and il was asserted that together they

New YORK, November 15.-The League
Convention adjourned at 3 p. m, to re-
convene on January %, at the Fifth Ave
nue. Hotel. The entire time Of the last
days session was taken up with the dis
cussiOn of the Brotherhood question. John
l. Rogers said it was q notorious fact that
q number of players reserved by the League
clubs had declared their intention of Vio-
lating said reserve, notwithstanding notice
by their respective clubs of said reserve,
and of the latter's option to renew the
usual form Of contract with such players
for the season of 1890; also, that the opin-
ion of eminent council had been received
affirming the legal and equitable rights Of
League clubs under said contracts to the
services of their reserve players for the sea-
son of 1890. Mr.. Rogers offered the fol-
lowing:
THE LEAGUE WILL FIGHT.
ResOlced, That this League hereby de-
clares that it will aid each of it's club mem
bers in the enforcement of the contract
rights Of such clubs to the services Of its
reserve players for the season Of 1890, and
that q committee of three be appointed by
the League with full power to act, and to
formulate and carry out the best methods
OF enforcing said contract rights Of said
clubs; and that said committee be author
lied to draw upon the guarantee fund Of
the League for such amount as may be
necessary to carry out the intent and pur-
pose Of this resolution.
The resolution was unanimously adopted.
A. L. Spslding then presented the follow
Jog, which was adopted:
Res0lued, That no League club shall
from this date enter into any negotiations
or contract with players not under League
reservation, or enter into negotiations
with any club for the transfer of any Of
its players until February l, 1890.

After the adjournment, A. G. Spalding,
President of the Chicago Club, was inter-
viewed on the situation. He said he was

my opinion is certain. From the long
personal acquaintance with all the gentle
men connected with the National League,
feel safe in saying that in any event the
National League will continue to furnish
