THE REPUBLICANS, during their last cam.
paign, promised to pass the Blair bill and
to remove the tobacco tax. They have al

they reported yesterday only removes half
the tax on tobacco. But this is only fair
sample of the ratio of the ful6llment OF re-
publican promises.

THE TAX of q cent and half pound on
hides, imposed by the new republican tariff
bill, will not add single cent to the price
the farmers will receive for their cattle, but
it will add many dollars to the farmers
yearly bills for boots and shoes. But still,
as protective tariff Ia republican princi
pie, the republicans, unless they abandon
that principle, must impose tax on hides.

TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL 1.

CONVENTION OF northern men VINO nave

sincs war between the States will be held IN
that state next June, for the purpose as
stoted in the call therefor, of making pub
liz acknowledgement OF the hearty welcome
and universal courtesy We have received at
the hands of the people among whom we
have made our homes" Little good can be
exoecsed from the convention referred to, or
from sny other that msy be held in the
sontb. for similar object. All that 10 re-
opired to convince any reasonable northern
man that he has been grossly deceived oS
republican writer's and speakers in respect
of the people of the South, is short reel
dence among them. After auch residence
n,ne-tenths of the northern settlers, IN
conptv and Slate matters, vote with their
damocratic peighbors. Indeed they can
not do otherwise, that is, if they
have apy material interest in their ne"
hones and sense enough to desire
IN nreserye it. But those northern people
who stsy at home and read and hear there
,ubot ia said and written of the South BY
south-haters, would not, though one epoRe
from the dead, abandon their cherished De
lief in the Ignorance, the barbarity ano
the malicious blood thirstlness OF the traitor
ons and unrepentsnt rebels"

Reciprocity and Canadian Logs,

Secretary Window has written a letter to
Secretary Blaine inviting his attention to the
following provision of the present tariff law
relating to the lumber schedule: THAT in case
any foreign country shall impose an export
duty upon pine, spruce, elm or other logs ex-
ported to the United States from such country
then the duty upon the sawed lumber herein
provided for. when imported from such coun-
try. shall remain fixed by the law in force
prior to the passage of this act" Secretary Win
dom says 1t Is understood that the government
of Canada now imposes an export duty on
spruce pine and cedar logs and shingles, bolts
made of pine and cedar, thus rendering sawed
lumber imported from that country into
the United States liable to duties under the old
tariff. Representations have been made to the
Treasury Department by persons interested to
the effect that the Canadian government has
determined to take no steps toward removing
the export duty on logs until officially notified
by this government OF the provisions of the
new tariff act and with the view of granting
relief to those parties Secretary Window re-
quested that such notification be given the
Canadian government at as early day as pos
sible.

HARMONY AND GLEE.
What Resulted When Two Clubs Got
Together in a Singing Contest.

There was a contest singing match and dance
between the Harmony and Belmont Glee Clubs
at the Grand Army Hall last night, and about
III o'clock there was some disorder following a
fight Abe Coleman, a young colored man,
got the worst of the fight so he says, and he
was crying when Policeman Moore arrested
him.
Tom Gaines who was also in the hall, said
that Coleman had pistol in the hail. and an
additional charge Of concealed weapons was
filed against him.
When the charges were heard before Judge
Miller today Gaines appeared as witness and
told of the trouble in tine hall. He said that
ono Of the ladies stepped on another's foot and
young man was "dominizinS" her about it.
During the trouble Coleman, he said, drew a
revolver.
Policeman Moore gave evidence Of the dis
order.
Coleman told his side OF the affair and said
that he was beaten by five men. He admitted
that he made noise. but said he did so by
crying because he had been beaten. He denied
that he had a revolver.
Tho charge of concealed weapons was dis
missed, but fine of $40 was imposed for dis
orderly conduct

Other In Making Things Pleasant.

Lieutenants Kelly and Amss Of the sixth and

use the gas. while in the first precinct the room
is partly lighted by gas.
Lieut. Kelly calls il the "dark hole and
boosted that the judges platform at his sta

NO BLOOD WAS SPILLED.
Even the Rabbit Supposed to Have Been
Shot Was Unhurt
"Who shot the rabbit"

"Who shot the rabbit"
Nobody"
That is the question and answer that was dis
cussed IN the sixth precinct section of the Po-
lice Court this morning.
The question was discussed in the case OF
julius Ihurm, resident of Anacostia, who
WINS charged with assauiting William Dennison,
beer wagon driver. No injury was inflicted,
although threat was made. The affair oc-
Cured near Anacostia last Friday.
Dennison was delivering beer to a place of
business and he went out to an old fort TO
spend few minutes looking for rabbits.
Ihurm was IN the woods ahead OF him and
his dogs started an old hare. Bang" went
Dennlson's gun. but the rabbit went on over
the hill. A lark that was flying overhead
cropped and Ihurm started back satisfied
with having killed one bird
Thurm. however. thought that Dennison had
Killed the rabbit that his dog had started and
ne went for Dennison with his gun, but first
withdrew the charges, 30 that no blood was in
danger OF being shed.
MIN IN terms that were not complme ntary and
sald: why don't you shoot your own rabbit"
After following him to the road he said: -
=. I'll shoot you down like a rabbit"
Ihurm told Judge Miller that Dennison shot
the rabbit and then held it I'D to show him
Another witness was called and he declared
that Dennison shot no rabbit, but that he did
kill bird
Lawyer Darlington, who represented Thurm,
thought argument was unnecessary, as the
rabbit was not killed and no one was injured
Judge Miller said that it was the same old
story-a gun pointed at man with the for
tunate result that 10 one WAS hurt A fine OF
IS was imposed
Apropos to this case a story was related of
two old men who went cunning for rabbits and
after cunning all day with no success they
found rabbit in some farmers trap. They
managed to get the rabbit out of the trap and
then the question arose as to how it should be
killed.
handkerchief was tied to one leg and the
animal was suspended from a tree. One of
the men fired at IT. but his aim was too high
and the handkerchief was cut.
The rabbit ran away and the gunners were
so surprised that they did not have presence of
mind enough to fire another shot at it. The
rabbit may be at large yet, al nothing to the
contrary is known.
