TIE BUTrERwoRriI BILL.

Att meeting Of the House Committee
on Agriculture to-day, there developed
the fact that a favorable report can
unanimously be made upon the Butter.
worth bill prohibiting speculation upon
the future delivery Of food products.
The fight on this measure has been made
by the farmers OF the country, who al.
lcge that the fictitious prices Of epecu.
lators control the actual market price OF
grain and stock Of the country. There
IL no doubt that the bill can be readily
passed in either House when it is taken
up for consideration. The enemies OF
the measure will have no quarter shown
them. Hl ''G mEg. ~

by the arm.
Yesterday the girls arranged to punish
tue young man for his insolence. When
they left tho laboratory, at $50, he
crossed the street and approached them
with his face wreathed in smiles. The
girls had an object in this. They were
waiting to get the young man opposite q
point where there was miniature

not know it. When the proper place
was found the girls stoppod, and the
young man, standing within two feel

CHICAGO, March 2l.-The Illinois

1t is true, the creator Of German unity
has stepped into retirement, and Gen.
eral, who is not among the heroes Of
either 1866 or 1870, takes tho place
which, for a quarter Of q century, the
Iron Chancellor has filled. Whether
Bismarck's successor was chosen by. the
young Emperor for like qualities to
those possessed by the man of blood
and iron, or because Of the absence OF
those qualities, and because of, . more
obedient nature, is aquestion that time
alone can show. ~. W
We cannot tell now whether the
young Emperor desires TO emulate

that is that Bismarck's retirement pro.

PITTSBURGH, March 20.-The result OF
the conference Of the Executive Council
Of the Federation OF Labor in New York

says that no one trade will be ordered to
demand the eight hour law, nor 10 strike
to enforce the demand. MIR. Martin said
it was left entirely optional with each
trade whether they desired or thought
they could secure eight hours for days
work. 1t will also be optional with tho
trades whether they will 60 into other
questions or not. Pittsburgh and Wheel

carpenters first asking conference with

will probably make the first break in
those cities, to be followed by other
strong organizations.

news Of the appointment OF Dave NJ.
Harr, OF this county, to be Mine Iuspec.
tor for the First district, caused no sur.

comment among Inen OF all parties.
That Governor Fleming's action was the
result Of disgraceful bargain with Harr,
pending the Gubernatorial contest, no
ono has the slightest doubt, and the
Democrat cannot be found who has the
nerve to deny it. Practical miners here
regard the appointment as very unwise
one. Harr is not looked upon, from a
business point OF view, as the sort of a
man that Governor Fleming would have
selected had he been free from all polit.
ical obligations in making a choice.
The action OF the Governor in awarding
three good positions, including the best
office in the State, TO his home county,
is regarded as an unwise policy bv those
who have the interests Of the Demo.
cratic party in general at heart.
