RECEPTION TO WHITAKER
by the Republicans OF Center and Webster
Districts.

The Center and Webster district Re-
publcans Jointly held meeting last
night in the vacant store room at 23i3
Chapline street The affair was I'm the
nature Of a reception to y. +. Whitaker,
candidate for State Senator. Two rows
Of seats were arranged on each side OF
the room, and the audience probably
numbered forty people. The meeting
was called to order by VIII Dudley, and
after clecting Ed. Ilowley Vice Presi-
dent, Mr.. Dudley introduced the first
speaker of the evening. Hon. Alex. X.
Campbell, Ex-State Senator from the
Fourth DISTRICT.
After discussing State issues at some
length, Mr.. Campbell sailed into the
tariff. which he discussed in glittcring
generaltieS, consistent with his declara-
ton to friend before the meeting that he
had not given the subject specific con-
sideratiOn. He admitted that the new
tariff was too high on some articles,
and alluded to the recent interviews
published and widely circulated in the
REGISTER, but did not deny any of the
statements there made. After talking
about three quarters OF an hOur, ne
gave way to Mr.. j. II. Burtt, who dis
cussed the Mckinley bill from labor
standpoint. He defended Carnegie and
his millions. claiming that the employees
is entitled to a certain per cent. Of the
result Of the labor Of each man in his
employ. He then entered into dis
cussion of the 'nigger" labor question
1--WE quote his own language) during
which Peanut" Scott, who was present
with his little basket, fell asleep. After
eulogizing the entire Republican ticket
he closed amid feeble applause.
Messrs. Richard Robertson and y. h.
Whitaker were called upon, and each
responded with short speech, after
which the few who remained in the
went home. The meeting was entirely
devoid of enthusiasm, the repeated
mentioning of IIubbard's name falling
to call forth any applause.

tion against the United States upon the
part of the conservative press of Can

ment press of the Dominion is slow

cling of the Dominion tariff during Tho

of Hon. Charles Upper, Minister O

characterizing the Mckinley bill as n

Timber scarce In Mexico.

CITY OF MEXICO. October IA great
scarcity of the building lumber exists
here Mt present, and work on many
buildings in course of erection has been
temporarily suspended in consequence.
Lumbermen insist that most Of the
timber in the vicinity of the railroads
has become exhausted, and that it is i'm
possible to bring lumber from distance
during the wet season, owing to the bad
condition OF the roads. Much lumber
is therefore brought from Texas at Il
heavy cost.

HISTORIAN LECKY



LONDON, October l5.-The two final
volumes Of Lccky's History Of Eng
land In the Eighteenth Century" being
the seventh and eighth, appeared to-
day. They are taken up largely with
Irish history. In discussing the work
and policy Of Henry Grattan. the great
Irish orator, Mr.. Lccky says: "Nhllo
Grattan always maintained with feryid
cloqucncc the cause Of Irish nationality
and Catholic emancipation, his strong
est conviction was that the true inter
cstS Of England and ireland were inscp-
arablc."
Mr.. Lecky shows that the absentee
ism Of Irish landlords has been rcspou-
sible in very high degree for the i'm
famous abuses which have been dcycl-
opcd in Irish property. At the same
time the author points out that the i'm
providence and ignorance Of the Irish
people have been the principal causes Of
increasing the very serious congestion
OF the population In certain portions Of
Ireland, where the soil is miserable and
untitled to sustain 50 many people.
The agrarian organization Of latter
years, Mr.. Lecky says, has succeeded
In establishing savage tyranny over
much Of Ireland. The Fenians. hc
thinks, are behind this movement. They
are now working for home rule. with
the idea Of using that as leverage for
securing their ultimate designs which
they have never abandoned.
