Colonel coneer Says the Scheme
Was Formed In Carfield's Time.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, November 6-Colonel A. L.
CoDger. the Ohio member of the Republican
National Committee. tells story which goes
to show that Secretary Blaine had planned
the reciprocity scheme as it is now in force
when he was chief Of President Garfeld's
Cabinet.
Colonel Conger was with Garfield when he
received word of Roscoe Conkling's resigna-
tion from the Senate. Conger expressed his
regret and the fear that 1t would disrupt the
party.
"Then," Mr.. Conger said, putting his hand
upon my shoulder, president Garfield said
that his administration would develop pol
icy which would greatly increase the popu-
larity of the Republican party"
Subsequently MIR. Blaine told Colonel Con-
ger the plan for the Pan-American Congress
and the reciprocity treaties.

SOME GOOD IDEAS
In the Work for Poor Humanity In
Norwich, CT.


WASHINGTON. November Cat today's

tion. S. E. Bull of Toronto made an address
upon the WORK Of the Central Lodging House
Association of that city. Mr.. Bulls state
ment that there was a smoking room lin the
lodging house called for number of pro-
tests from delegates who thought the use Of
tobacco should not be allowed. Mr.. Bull
said that on the board of directors of the
home there was not single smoker. SmOk-
ing was permitted through fear that other
wise men would be driven back to the sa-
loon.
Geo. Swan of Norwich. Conn.,, made an
address upon the subject OF the evangelistic
work Of the United Workers of that city.
The police court judge c0operates with them.
Through this union not boy In Norwich
has had police court record in the past
three years. Every effort was made to keep
small boys from going to Jail and reform
school, where they can only be hardened and
confirmed In crime. Men charged with nom
support of their families are induced to
transfer their earnings to this society, their
families are provided for, and any surplus
placed to their credit In the savings bank. In
this way S13. 600 was handled by the society
last year. Another branch OF the work Is
looking after discharged prisoners. When
they leave jail they are cared for In the l0dg-
Ing house and fed at the restaurant until
able to get work. II man Is hungry and
wants something to eat he gets 1t anyhow.

AFTER The BATTLE.
Post, Rep, Elected In Nebraska by
About 5000 Plurality.

OMAHA. November 6.-Officlal returns
have been received from 63 counties, exclu-
siye of Douglass, out of 80 counties in the
state, showing a total vote for Post of 49,
ISL and for Edgerton of 50,329. These same
counties last year gave Richards 51,735;
Boyd, 37.S57; Powers. 53.O48; indicating a
falling off in the total vote of 1885. Douglas
county, with one precinct In the city of
Omaha missing, gives Post majority over
Edgerton OIL 6351. Careful estimates of the
counties not heard from officially. based on
the partial returns, give Post a plurality of
474l. This will probably be increased by
the official count, and it Is safe to say that

again adopt a free coinage platform, but that
had practically nothing to do with this fight
think the result or the election shows that
