PROPOSALS INVITED.
THB VIRGINIA STATE COMMISSION CON.
PLBTBD MONDAY.
Ready for the Work Proposed, bat Limited 70 ih,
Basis Of the RiddlsbGgsr Aci-Thsss
Who Propose TO Fight the
Commission.

RICHMOND, VA, March 4.-The COM
mission charged with receiving from the
bondholders any proposal touching Vir.
ginis's debt they NAV choose to make dur
ing the recess has bsen completed and is
now ready for work. In the House yesterday
morning those who opposed creating this
commission renewed their fight, but with
out success. The commission was in-
creased by the addition of the Lieutenant.
Governor and another member OF the
House. The House then proceeded with
the election of its two members 10 the
commission. Speaker Caldwell, Of Hsr-
over, was selected without opposition. A
contest between Robert II. Tyler, of Prince
William, and Samuel F. Coleman, Of Cum
berland, resulted in the election Of the Sec
oBd ballot. The commission Ia now CON-
posed Of Gov. Mckinney, Lieut.. Gov. ].
Hoge Tyler; on the part Of the Senate,
Taylor Berry, Of Amherst, chairman Of
the Finance Committee, and Henry I.
Wickham, Of Hanover; on the part Of the
House, Speaker Csrdwell, Of Hanover, W.
B. Dsbkey, OF Albemsrle, chairman OF the
Finance Committee, and K. Ii. Tyler, OF
Prince William.
Now that the commission is created and
will bs organized at once, the question is
whether any information has been received
from the bondholdeIs touching any new
proposal for settlement. Ii is said that
for some days past certain friends here Of
the bondholders have been telegrsphipg
their representatives in London. The
idea seems TO be that with q commission
composed Of such material rs that lust su-
thoIizsd by the Legislature, the bondhold-
ers or those in position to spssk for them
can discuss proposals and be heard with
more calmness than they could expect
from the Assembly. Ii is thought that the
commission was not the result Of any sud
den conception upon the part of those in.
terested. 1t was probably considered the
bsst way to calmly hear proposals, if ary,
the creditors may have 10 submit. OF
course the commission ia limited to the
basis Of the Riddle erger act. There are
those who believe that the commission may
result in occurring s)me proposal which will
be acceptable to the people of the State.
There are those, though, who prC pOee to
fight the commission.

MAKING THIMBLEs.
Interesting Proce, ,ses by which the Useful
"Finger Hats" Are Finished.


N,ic York Nda and FrpTts
The manufacture Of thimbles is quite
an industry in this country. Millions OF
thimbles are made and sold every year.
There is the common steel thimble, which
can be purchased for few cents, and
there are thimbles made Of silver and
gold, and many very elaborate ones in
which diamonds and other precious stones
are set, for which almost any amount Of
money may be paid.
Thimbles are made on dies Of different
sizes. The gold, silver or steel is pressed
owes these dies by stamping machines
and finishing and polishing and decora-
ting are done afterwards. Some thimbles
are made OF celluloid and rubber. These
are nodded. The process OF making a
GOLD thimble Is more elaborate than that
~ cheaper ones. The first step in the
making OF gold thimble is the cutting
into disk OF the desired size thin
niece Of sheet iron. This is brought TO a
red heat. placed over graduated hole in
an iron bench. and hammered down into

the tbimble. The iron takes its shape and
ia removed from the hole. The little in
dentions TO keep the needle from slipping
are made in II, end all the other finishing
strokes OF a perfect thimble put on H.
The iron is then made into steel by
nrocess peculiar 10 the thimblemaker, ana

President Cleveland was read:
NEW YORK, February 10, 1890.
Edgar A Broioa. Esq:
MY DEAR SIR:-Though my letters TO
Democratic tariff reform assemblages have
lately been very frequent, cannot deny
your request 10 say wor1 of encourage
ment to the tariff reiormers who will meet
at the first annual convention of the Iudi-
ana Tariff Reform LEAGUE on the h of
March
am very much pleased with the plan
upon which your League seems to be or.
gsnizsd. 1t conveys a suggestion Of prac-
teal work in the field of information and
enlightenment. This, il persistently car
ried out, cannot fail of success OF course
we do not approach the American people,
assuming that they are ignorant. or unps.
triotic. But we know that they are busy
psople and apt to ne glect the study of public
questions. Ia the engrossment of their daily
vccations, they are too ready TO rely upon
the Judgment and svowed principles of the
party with which they have affiliated, Us
guides to their political actions. In this
way they have become slow to examine for
themselves the questions of tariff reform.
If in the light OF reasonable and simple
arguments, and OF such objec. lessons as ere
being constantly placed before them, the
people can be induced to investigate the
subjects, there need to be no fear as TO their
conclusion.
Tee Dsmocratic party, as the party Of
the people, opposed to selfish schemes
which ignore the public good, and pledged
to the interests of all their country men,
instead Of the furtherance CT the interests
of the few who seek to pervert govern.
mental power for their enrichment, wss
never nearer to its fundamental principles
that was it in its contests for tariff reform
1t certainly adds to the satisfaction with
which We labor in this cause to be assured
that in on, Efforts we not only serve our
party bu. all tde people OF the land.

Changes IN Pudding Turns.
PTTsBURG, March 4.--The demand for
all kinds Of iron and steel is still increes-
ing.
It is usually the case, at this time of the
year, that the spring and summer contracts
for wrought iron pipes are received. The
pipe Fl inns are ell so crowded that none OF
them are able to turn cut all the work that
they have booked. The National Tube
Company at McKeespOrt has orders for
over 120. 600 tons, or enough to keep the
the plant on double turn to the middle OF
the GUNNER, turning out 800 tons day.
A glance at the iron aad steel mills in
the last few days shows falling eff in the
raw, but an increase in the finished output
At the Keystone Mill the puddlers have
been changed from double turn, 10 heats,
10 heals turn, making difference of 30
tons day less from the sc pudding fur
