WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 4.

AT AN immense and OVERLOOKING meeting
of the workipgmen employed in the facto-
ries at Kensington. suburb of Philadelphia
last night, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
I'VE hereby give notice that we will not
be satisfied with anything short OF free "a"
materials aud such corresponding reduc
ton of general tariff rates as will MAKE Nv
ing cheaper and give us chance to enter
foreign markets with our products as wei
as to keep and control our own, knowing
full we'll that only by these means can the {,
toilers secure steady work and good wages"
In view OF the fact that Philadelphia Is
one OF the great manufacturing cities OF the
country, the meeting and the resolution
referred to do not tend, Ia the slight
est degree to sustain the utterly unfounaeu
statement, that the people of the Uoited
States, at the last Presidential election, were
30 utterly ignorant OF their own interests
that they declared for high tariff on the
pecessaries of life.

- WASHINGTON. ID. o.. June 4. 1890.
A delegation Of about oHs hundred i'm
porting merchants from All the large north
ern and western cities d9 the country ap-
reared before the Senate fnabos committee
to-day to protest against the ypassage of the
Mckinley tariff bill, for the reason, as they
said. that 1t would favor one class at the ex-
nepse of other classes, that it would benefit
the manufacturers but iDjure the Importers,
and because it would work against the poor,
INT for the rich. They said that In respect
ofsilks, that by the Mckinley bill, "as you
90 I'D In value. you go down in duty" the
higher duty being laid On cheap silks such
as poor people buy. It was the same way,
they said, with pottery, glass and all other
articles 10 COMMON use. But notwithstand-
ing all that .hey said. the impression is that
if anv tariff bill be passed at all, it will be
the MyKiuley bill with immaterial changes.

TRIALS OF WORKERS ON THE CENSUS :
Taking the census of New York's populs-
ton doesn't strike the epumerators as g
snap by any means. Oae man committed
suicide rather than undertake the work he
had contracted to perform, and yesterday 3
score CT enumerators resigned, and many
more asked for interpreters to assist them
in their work. The Italians especially are
not easy to deal with, and can't understand
the object of the census takers in asking so
many questions. Despite these drawbacks,
the enumeration there is progressing salts
factorily, and it is estimated that three hun
dred thousand names were taken up TO Elk
O'Clock yesterday evening. The work will
become easier as it progresses.

THERE Is nothing new in the recently re-
vived newspaper talk of bribery and CORFU
lion In Mr.. Speaker Reeds district at the
last congressional election. Shortly after
that election letters from Maine, and people
from that State, both reliable, gave accounts
OF the buying and selling of votes there in
open market. and of the varying value OF
those votes at different hours of the day.
Those accounts were so generally known to
be true in Maine that no body there denied
them, or ever thought of doing 30. But all
the same. Mr.. Reed now says elections In
southern States must be conducted by re-
publican federal officials in order that they

this kind thought of ono who takes the deepest

governed by the same Laws, and imbued with the
same love of fair play and liberty, it would 10 un.
natural if we were not the same in spirit and in
spirations Without entering upon any vexed
questions, is it not, therefore, natural that all
Engishmen should be Pr ud of General Lee as
we are proud of General Gordon? Those two
mon were tho only greet patriotic heroes have
ever known, and honor them in my thoughts rs
if they were twin brothers, and both had been my
comrades -in-arms.
1t is not possible for mo to pay America visit
Just at present. hope to do so, however, by and

Again thanking your EXcelency for your kind
