The prospect for the passage of the bill
| Tepealing the tax on tobacco is not prOmis-
ing. A good many democrats and republi-
cans favor the bill Ii is quite safe to say
that majority of the me bers of the
House are ready to vote for it, but the indl-
cations at present are that they will not get
chance to do so. The tariff reform lead
ers have no objection to repealing the to-
b4Cco tax, but they want that tax repealed
in connection with a reduction of certain
tariff taxes. They believe that there will
be no tariff legislation whatever by this or
the next congress if they permit the tobacco
tax to be repealed. The programme of the
protectionists appears to be to repeal the in
ternal revenue taxes by piecemeal. and in
that way prevent any reduction of the
tariff
The opponents of the tobacco tax meas
ure, as a separate bill, although in the mi
uority can defeat it by parliamentary tao
tics, and their present intention is to defeat
it. The friends Of it will have a chance to
get it considered during the last six days Of
the session by means of a suspesnion of the
rules, but they must have the cooperation
of the speaker Unless one of their number
succeeds in getting the speaker to recognize
him they can accomplish nothing The
speaker is in sympathy with the tariff
reform leaders, and it is very doubtful if he
will aid the friends of the tobacco bill.
There is very little opposition anywhere
to the repeal of the tobacco tax, and it is
probable that the Democratic party would
make friends for itself by passing the
tobacco bill in the House, but by doing SO
it would doubtless destroy whatever chance
it has at present of securing a reduction of
the tariff. 1t prefers to stick to the princi-
pies by which it has heretofore been guided
rather than increase its popularity in the
tobacco growing states at the expense of
those principles.

TWO Important Resolutions.

The resolution of Sir Richard Cartwright
offered in the Canadian parliament on
Monday, demanding that Canada shall have
the right to negotiate commercial treaties
direct and the joint resolution of Repre-
sentative Butterworth, introduced into the
House on Tuesday, authorizing the Presi-
dent to invite the parliament of Canada
and the cabinets of the provinces of the
dominion to visit the United States as the
guests Of the nation, are calculated to excite
eli ely interest in this country relative to
Canada. There is no probability, of course,
that the Cartwright resolution will be acted
upon favorably at this time, although it
may be in the near future.
Sir Richard Cartwright is one Of the
Leaders Of the liberals and his resolution
meets with their hearty approval. He made
a strong speech in support of his resolution.
Read between the lines, it see ms to mean
that Canada is about tired Of her connection
with Great Britain, and wants either indie
pendence or annexation to the United
States. Sir Richard stated that Caaada's
trade with the United States was increasing
rapidly, and that last year it amounted to
than that with any other country, except
Great Britain and her colonies.
There is no doubt a growing desire in
Canada for closer commercial relations
with the United States. Among the lib
erals there is a feeling that England pre-
vents Canada from coming to an under
standing with the Unite1 States respecting
various matters, that would be of incalcu-
liable benefit to her. Canada derives no
benefit from her connection with England
than she values highly, and none that she
could not do without
While the present parliament will not
adopt the CartrixhU resolution it is quite
eItain that the resolution will not be lost
sight of altogether. 1t is thought that
parliamentary election is near at hand, and
that in new parliament the liberals would
be much stronger than they are in the
present one.
Representative Butter worth's resolution
undoubtedly looks toward commercial
union. If the Canadian officials should visit
this country they would receive a very
hearty reception, and would carry home
with them impressions that would make
item consider very carefully any sugges-
tions for closer commercial relations be-
tween the two countries. The Importance
of the Cartwright and Butterw 1rth resolu-
tions cannot BE- very well overestimated.

Mr.. J. VI. Hudson, the CHI 1irman of the
democratic state committee of Arkansas
ha written a letter - the New YORK Her
aid, pointing out the is5ustice of that
journal in cond ,mnIng representative
Breckinridge for not answering the open
letter of the lrothers of John Nj. Clayton,
who was recently ASA 7sinate1 in Arkansas.
The letter contains some facts which had
not before appeared in print, and which are
calculated TO make even tae extreme repub-
lcan journals doubt whether there is any
ground for charging that Mr.. Clayton was
assassiaated because there was danger that
he would show that he had b5en defeated for
congress by fraud
From the extracts which Mr.. Hudson
gives from the papers filed in the Clayton-
Breckenridge contested election case, it
does not appear that Mr.. Clayton had any
such majority at the Plumnerville precinct
as he claimed. This is the precinct from
which the poll books and ballot box were
stolen on the night Of the election, and at
which Mr.. Clayton was assassinated while
taking testimony in support of his contest
Mr. Clayton claimed that there were 697
were for him How did he know the num-
Der of votes cast and the number for him?
He said that the ballot box was
stolen by Mr.. Breckinridges partisans,
and that it was never found. He also said
that the judges of the election we're
Breckinridges partisans. Mr.. Breckinridge
never knew the number Of votes in the box.
How did Mr.. Clayton find it out? Mr..
Breckenridge says that he believes that MIR.
Clayton had majority of the votes in the
box, but only small majority. He bases
this opinion upon local election held only
a short time before the congressional cleo
ton and at which full vote was polled.
At that election 636 votes were cast. Of
which the democratic candidates received
about half
Before Mr.. Clayton began his CO ntest Mr..
Breckenridge suggested through Mr.. Hud-
son, that each of them appoint an agent to
canvass the Plummersville district, and
find out who voted, and for whom the votes
were cast. Mr. Clayton rejected the sug-
gestion. Mr. Breckenridge does not believe
that the ballot box was stolen by his psrti-
sans. They had no motive for stealing it.
Mr. Breckenridge appears to have acted
fairly and in a straightforward manner
in his contest with Mr.. Clayton. Why,
then, should ne take notice of the publica-
ton of the Clayton brothers, or any other
publication which aims to make him respon-
sible for M Clayton's death.

Very Queer Shorthand.
From the Chlcaqo Mon.


number of years ago, before writing short
hand became SO common, there was in Nilwau-
kee young man who was Just finishing a
course of commercial training and pen slip.
This youth was ambitious to enter Il business
house and become sef-Sustaining. Accordingly
he was on the alert for any opening that fortune
might cast in his pathway. l will tell the rest
Of the story in his own language. He said:
Il was one evening leaving the school when q
student gave me an eastern newspaper
took it home and in it read an adver-
tsement for a young man to write short
nand. | had no more idea of what shorthand
really meant than pig has of stock market
However, wanted JOB, and, as l could write
like sam Hill, applied for the place and wrote
two letters one in the most cramped-up hand
writing that could make and have it readable
ald tie other l wrote in a very long scrawly
hand, so as to make the contrast greater. |
never got a reply from the advertiser, and since
came to Chicago and got to be court reporter
| often think how these fellows, whoever they
were, must have laughed at nv short hand
