THE reputable press of the north is d;sgusted at the course of the re- publican majority in congress in seating McDuflie, of Alabama. who received but 5,625 votes, while the democrat, Turpin, received 1S,783. Commenting on this, the PhiIadel- phia Times declares
 Since the overthrow of the car pet-bag reign in Alabama, when the colored voters were brought to star vation by their own leaders, and ut terly disgusfed with politics, there has never been anything approach ing full colored vote of the south. All who settled down to industry, and especially all who acquired property either retired from politics CT trely CT voted the democratic ticket; and only the few m ggots of the carpet-bag corpus who hunt for offices and sell ont delegations to national conventions, dispute the fact that a very large percentage of the colored voters don't vote at all because they won't vote for the dis reputable republican that is offered themn

Suicide of Dick Gage.

Last night a short time before midnight, D. w. Gage, Chief of Po- lice of this city, entered the Billiard Parlors on Allen street, and walking back to the card room in the rear, pulled out his pistol and placing it against his temple, pulled the trig- ger and passed into eternity.
 The causes that led to this rash act are said to be several, although : the immediate cause was his inabil- ity to meet a note of $100 due to- day. The note was endorsed by Messrs Kelso and McDonough Early in the evening he met the former, and told him that he had $S0 of the money, and that he would have the other S20 in time to settle up to-day. MT. Kelso told him not to worry over the matter, but to leave the $50 at the Billiard Parlors and that if he didn't have the other $2O to-day that 1t would make no difference.
 No" replied the chief, II will have 1t all." He then went to a faro game and instead of winning the other S2O, lost what he had al- ready. This no doubt worried him, for he deliberately went and shot himself as above stated. He died without a struggle and death must have been instantaneous.
 The excitement of the recent cleo ,ion and subsequent events, wor- ried him also, and hls friends as- sert that although he maintained an air of indifference that he was sorely troubled. He was gener- ous man and had many firm friends. He leaves wife and five children to mourn his loss. They are q bright, intelligent family, and have the sympathy of the entire com munity in the loss of their husba nd and father.-Tomhstone Prosp-ctor

The Grand Canyon Excitement.

A correspondent of the Flagstaff Champion thus writes of this re- cent mining stir:
 Adjacent to the Bright Angel there have been many locations made on mineral lands, and assays on the respective finds run from E$2.60 to sf7O per ton; but up to the present time there has been no de- velopment work done. There are a number of prospectors steadily at work, principally on the north side of the river, and locations are being made daily. I see many prospectors outlitting themselves for from three to six months in the canyon, but 1t seems to be the gen. eral impression that the fall and winter seasons are the more desir- able for working there, on account of the excessive heat in the sum- mer and the high water in the river and it's tributary streams. From a prospectcr's stand int, there is SD much country 10 go over, that ad- mitting that nature has performed vast amount of work toward de- veloping the mineral deposits, a thousand men can prospect for the coming ten years and not get one half over the ground. The lodges exposed and located run from fifty to 400 feet wide and about $500 feet perpendicular.

 Yesterday morning about four o'clock, Pedro Valencia, Antonio Romero and Ygnacio OlSo, and a woman named Pabla Hernandez, went to the residence of Humosin- do Chacoa, in the extreme southern end of the town, near the house of David Munoz, and rapped at the door. AS Chacoa was getting up to answer the call, his wife advised him not to do so, as from the noise the parties were evidently all drunk, but Chacoa opened the door and as he did so, Valencia stabbed him in the neck and then in the side, caus- ing immediate death. Valencia and OIso escaped, and when last seen were going in the direction of tine pest house, but the officers arr in hot pursuit. The woman and Ro- mero are in jail. Acting Coronel Meyers summoned jury of in- quest, who after viewing the body adjourned until the afternoon when the evidence will be taken.-Tucson Citizen.

The House OR Glass.

The earthen and glass ware schedule of the tariff bill has slid through the House without a single amendment. This is a remarkable commentary upon the professions of friendship for the poor and hos tility to trusts that came a few months ago from certain members of the majority. The manufacturers of glass in this country are prosper ous. They could hardly fail to be, under the circumstances. They are organized in a nice little nest of trusts, which limits production and fix prices to suit themselves. The Pittsburg Plate Glass Company, with a capital of s2,75O,OO0 earned, or at least collected, profits last year "f 35 per cent. For 1890 it expects to vastly increase its gains The stock whose par value is $1O0 per share, sells at $2O0. This de- serving pauper is protected by duties ranging up as high as 152 per cent.
 Under the present law tumblers, opal shades and lamp chimneys all pay 45 per cent tax-an amount sufficient to secure enormous divi- dends to the trust corporations that manufacture them. MT. Mckinley proposes to raise the duties to 115 per cent on heavy tumblers, 203 per cert on common opal shades and 45O per cent on common lamp chimneys. In other words for every s 50 a poor family might spend in lamp chimneys it would get $1 worth of chimneys and S4 50 worth of tax. These are only sam- ples of the scandalous Mckinley glassware schedule, and the whole thing has sailed through the House without the display of enough in dependence on thespart of the ma jority to dot an "i' or cross ;'t."
 
 All this is for the benefit of cap italists who do not hesitate to vio- late the contract labor laws by inn porting hands from Europe when their own men strike for a share of their plunder. If anybody still keeps up the pretense that the in terests of labor have anything to do with it, there is an easy way of bringing the question to the test. The manufacturers of common lamp chimneys are making ample profits with 45 per cent protection. When the Mckinley bill goes into effect, raising the duty to 450 per cent, let their workmen ask for an increase of wages to the full amount of the increased tax. As the duties are to be multiplied by ten, let the wages be multiplied by ten as we'll. Let those men who are now mak- ing S2 day ask for $20, and those who are earning $5 demand $50. The demand will be perfectly just. The capitalists are making all the profits they are entitled 10 now, and if the worker should not get the benefit of the raise, who should?
 Let the men try this plan, and those of them who have not al- ready learned for whose benefit a protective tariff is constructed will find out. After the passage of the Mckinley bill the glass trusts may add more water to their stock, but we miss our guess if within one year the glassworkers are not strik ing against reduction of wages = Examiner.
