Come to STAY.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Civil service reform has come to stay. 1t
may have its defects, but it will never have its
funeral, and ambitious young politicians will be
wise not to put rotten spot in their records by

The Brooklyn-St. Louis trouble has sunk out
Of sight lately. The great question now is will
Brooklyn or Cincinnati join the league. Both

neither club has been asked to join the league
and the only possible way for them to get in
is to buy out some clubs franchise.

''As to the Brooklyn club having made over

He stated that the meeting OF the represents
tives was in the interest OF all countries, to
obtain arbitration and uniform customs
duties, matters of much importance; that
Instead OF Europe supplying the trade Of the
Southern countries, the United States
should do so, owing to our greater facilities
and markets. Colonel Bsyne, after review
ing the benefits OF reciprocity, said:
"Why not invite the representatives OF the
various States to visit Western Rennsyl-
vania; let them see our manufactories and
our industries; let them report to their Gov
ernments what they need of our works, our
our plows, locomotives, etc?
WHY NOT LOCK HORNS?
"It is useless to try and build up foreign
trade by subsidizing business. Let us lock
horns with the other American States against
Europe. Canada is anxious to join Us, and
in the end we will have commercial union
for the American Continent"
marks, stating that the cause for the falling
off of our shipping trade must be discovered
and remedied. He mentioned that, several
years since, the Mexican Minister, in .
speech said his country would be surprised
at the needed implements used in Mexico,
which are imported from Spain. u
Several of the points in the act were con-
si6ered; but the committee, realizing the
importance of the meeting. offered no sug-
gestions until further consideration.
Judge Slagie moved that subcommittee
be appointed to prepare suggestions and
offer plans to be presented for the general
consideration of the entire committee at the
next meeting. The motion was carried, and
the committee appointed consists Of Hen. ].
f. Slagle, Hon. G. Fl. Anderson and 81. X.
Porter. The next meeting will be held upon
the call of the Chair.

A PARTY CONSULTATION.
The Republican Lenders to Outline Policy
for the President.
tsPrcIAI TELEGRAM TO THE pIsPATCH.I


ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
WASHINGTON, July 6.-The Star of this
evening, discussing the caucus of Repub-
lican leaders soon to be held in New York,
has the following:
For some time there has been great deal of
talk about Harrison running things in his own
way without consulting with his party leaders.
something as Cleveland did at first. The i'm
preston that he had marked out such policy
for himself has been very strong with members
of the party who thought he wasn't ready
appointments. 1t has been much commented
on, and there has been considerable feeling Of
doubt and uncertainty on the part OF some Of
the leading Senators and Representatives. At
the conference between the President and
Senators Chandler Allison, Cullom and Dolph,
the day of the Presidents departure for Wood
stock, this matter was thoroughly gone over
The Senators were anxious to know just where
they were to stand
They told the President Of the current i'm
preston, and urged upon him the necessity of
the party acting as party for its own safety
and well being. They thought that no import
ant move should be made without party con-
sultation and that the wishes of the leading
party men should be considered in the appoint
ments for their sections. The result of the
talk was that the Senators discovered chat the
President agreed with them on this point, and
was desirous as well as willing to have the ad-
vice of the party leaders Accordingly they
decided upon the caucus to be held in New
they are to have little more to say as to the
affairs Of the administration and that their
wishes are to be regarded on matters that
especially interest them.

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Northern Visitors to the Big Fight Run the
Gauntlet of a LynchInR Party.


Gauntlet of I.yncbIng Party.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcHl
NEW ORLEANS, July GA number Of
Northern intending visitors to the Sullivan
Kilrain fight. who arrived here this morn
ing by the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, had an
experience just above Meridian last night
which they are not likely to forget in a
hurry. Among the passengers were four
negroes, brothers, who formerly lived at
Meridian, and who killed seven white men
in an election fracas there four years ago.
They escaped and went to St. Louis, where
they married and settled down. A Missis-
sippi constable heard of their whereabouts,
got requisition for them, and arrested
them in st. Louis on the 4th of July.B
Word was telegraphed to the conductor of
the train that a force of armed men would
intercept his train for the purpose of taking
the negroes off and lynching them, and he
was ordered not to stop until he got to Mer-
idiau. The negroes were locked in a bag
gage car, and the baggagemaster got in the
