WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb 19, 1889
Until late yesterday afternoon nothing
was supposed 10 be more certain at the Cap
ito thar democratic caucus of the House
last night; but nothing is more uncertain
than the expected, and so no caucus was
held The explanation is that as the friends
of the Ways and Means Committee heard
that the Randall men did not intend to
abide by the action of the caucus unless that
action should be agreeable to them, they
withdrew their signatures from the paper
far caucus and left it without the requisite
number. Mr.. Randall has certainly

EXECUTIVE MANSION.


John L White esq Secretary DC;
Dear Sir-I have received the invitation
of the tariff reform league to be present at
the convention of tariff reformers to be held
in the city of Chicago on the - b, 20lb, and
Dist of February, 1889
L have also read the circular of the league
accompanying this invitation, in which the
objects and purposes of the proposed con-
vention are specially set forth.
The scheme Of practical and efficient work
therein described meets with my hearty ap.
prevail, and promises, if honestly adhered
to, the most valuable aid 10 the furtherance
Of cause which is very near to the inter.
e5ts and welfare of our people. The danger
which we have to guard against is the mis-
leading of our countrymen by specious the.
cries, cunningly contrved, and falsely Of
fering to the people relief from present bur
dens and the legitimate (expense necessary
to secure the benefits of benefcent rule un-
der the sanction of free institutions.
The declared purposes of your LEAGUE will not
be attained until all those interested in the eco.
nomic question which is now pressed upon their
attention are freed from all sophistres and cloud
ing fallaces, and until the subject of tariff reform
is presented to them IL a topic involving the re-
lief of tho plain people of the land in their homes
from useless and unj ust expeI 50.
The question is simple and plain one and
needs but to be fairly presented to lie understood.
1t is the positive duty of your organization TO
guard the people against deception
My extreme interests in the work which your
league has undertaken. and in the expressed OBJ
jects OF the proposed convention. would lead me
to accept your invitation if il possible to do
so. But my public duties here positively prevent
such acceptance
Hoping that the convention will be very sue
ssful, and with an earnest wish for the prosper
ity and success of your league in its efforts to
euiehten and benefit the people, | am yours very
t;uly, GROVER CLEVELAND

TUESDAY EVENING FEBRUARY 10.

CANADA is engaged in deVising ways anc
means for improving her canals, at an esti
mated expenditure of fifty million dollars
ard that, TOO, though the canals there are
closed more than six months in the year
But the Congress ofthe United States, which
has already invested money in the I. u w.
Canal, refuses to appropriate another doilaf
to extend thas canal TO its objective poin''
the Ohio river, and thereby make 1t, what II
was originally intended to be, great COM
municating line between the waters OF the
western rivers and the Atlantic, great
feeder of the national capital, an additional
line by which troops could be sent to Wash
ington in time of need, and great compel
itor. and tt erefore destroyer of the mo-
nopoly, of at least some of the railroads.
Tie money required for all this would not
amount to fourth of the sum Canada pro
poses to expend, simply to improve the ca
pacity of her canals for their grain carrying
trade.

DURING THE whole of the last Presidential
campaign the poor men of New York were
"whooped up" to vote the republican ticket
by the cry that high tariff meant high wages
and steady employment. Well, the rapub
licans succeeded, and a high tariff has been
secured for four more years. But inteIli,
gepce from New York is 10 the effect that
all TIE towns arouud that city are over.ruD
with hungry, shivering Migrants, driven to
trampiug by their inability to procure EN-
pioywent in any sort OF work or at the low
est possible wages. But many men are un
able to learn even by sad personal expert
ence and it is highly probable that those re-
fsrred to, if alive, will be as easily duped al
the next, as they were at the last election.

Postmaster Hill Got $4,000.

In the telegram from New Orleans,
which was published in The STATESMAN
on the morning of December 10, and
which gave the account of the grand $780,
600 drawing of the Louisiana State Lot
terry, it was announced that Manor, Tex,
had fallen heir to portion of the prize.
Such was indeed the case, and the lucky
holder of the ticket was Postmaster John
e. Hill, and no more deserving man could
have rvoeived it. Mr.. Hill is personally a
friend to every citizen of Manor, his
pleasant manners and genial courtesy to
all, whether in business dealings or social
intercourse, having made him a general
favorite.
He has been resident of Manor about
three years, having come there from Ten
nessee, he having several relatives living
in Manor.
Although staunch democrat This father
having been killed while serving in the
Confederate army, Mr.. Hill has the unan-
imous endorsement of the citizens OF
Manor for reappointment.
| With part of the money he drew last
month he has bought farm of 400 acres
for $4,000 The ticket he held was col
lected through the State National bank
of this city, from whom it was learned that
the money was received,promptly by them
and promptly delivered to Mr., Hill.
| 1t might be added that the newspaper
luck" is now broken. Mr.. Hill is the col
Letting ,agentfor The STATESMAN at Manor,
and newspaper men everywhere may now
expect to win the capital prize.
The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1889-01-24

annulled our titles and offered us in lieu
thereof either nothing or certificates
practically barred from location, as we
may elect, which, in palmer language,
means choice between nothing and the
equivalent of nothing. 1 do assure you,
gentlemen, that everyone of us realizes
that the state has thus made him the vic
tim of grand sell. Many of the present
generation may be so influenced by preju-
dice against us, or by motives of tempo
rary utility, as to regard this sell as good
joke or a necessity, but it will not
fail to weaken confidence in the
state, nor to fill dark page in her history.
AS one who has, according to his acres
involved, suffered as much as any one by
said action of the state, heartily join in
asking for redemption of the states
honor by proper redress for these cruel,
and L believe unnecessary deprivations.
Respectfully your Obedient servant,
