It Is unjustihablc; that when custom. house
taxation Is levied upon articles of any kind
produced in this country, the difference be-
tween the cost Of labor here and labor
abroad, when such difference exists, fully
measures any possible benefits to the laborer,
the existlng tariff falls with crushing force
upon our farmers and workingmen and for
the mere advantage Of the few whom 1t en-
riches, and we demand such revision Of the
tariff laws rs will remove their ubiquitous In
CAPABILITIES, tighten their oppression and put
but In making reduction in taxes It is not
proposed to lnjure any domestic industries,
hut rather to promote their healthy growth.
From the foundation Of this government taxes
collected at the custom house have been the
chief source OF federal revenue. Such they
must continue to be. Moreover, many indus
tries have come TO rely on legislation for sue
law must be ut every step regardful OF the
labor md capital thus involved. The process
Of reform must be subject In the execution Of
this plan to the dictates Of Justice.
In place Of this paragraph Mr.. Neal Of Ohio
offered the following:
We tlcnounce Republican protection as a
fraud The labor Of the great majority OF
the American people for the benefit OF the
few. We declare It TO be n fundamental
principle Of the Democratic party that the
federal government has no constitutional
power to impose and collect tariff duties ex-
cept for the purpose Of revenue only, and we
demand that the collection Of such taxes shall
be limited To the necessities Of the govern
ment when honestly and economically admin
istered.
Henry Wa,terson took the platform In sup
port of the substitute, and he was replied to
by Mr.. Villas. They INDUCED in n good ma
tured sparrlng contest, but the convention
was evidently for the substitute. For some

Adlai Ewing Stevenson Of Bloomington, H.
linois, the Democratic candidate for Vice
president of the United States, was born In
Christian county, Kentucky, October q. 1886.
and educated In the common schools Of Ken
lucky and mt Center College, Danville, Ken
lucky. He removed with his parents to
Bloomington, Illinois, lin 1852 and began
studying law at Bloomington In 1857, being
admitted to the bar in May. 1858.
In 1874 he was nominated by the Democrats
for Congress In the bloomington district
The district was 5000 Republican majority
but after very exciting canvass Stevenson
defeated his opponent, General McNulta, for
reelection by over I 100 majority. He was
defeated for reelection to Congress In 1875 but
elected in 1873. After the expiration of that
term Of Office General Stevenson resumed the
practice Of law and was delegate to the
Democratic National Convention Of 1884,
which nominated Grover Cleveland for Prc.-
dent.
After the la,tcr's election Stevenson was
appointed first assistant postmaster general
and held that Office during the entire Cleve-
land administration. As first assistant post
master general he was outspoken in his belief
that II was Democratic duty to remove Re-
publican postmasters wherever possible and
appoint efficient Democrats In their stead.
The celebrity which Stevenson displayed In re-
moving Republican postmasters and appoint
Ing Democrats made him very popular, par
ticularly throughout the South.

what He VIII Ofcr Ireland " He Is Re-
turned to Power.
II Is stated In London on what appears TO
be good authority, that Mr.. Gladstone has
formulated his new honc)rule bill.
The leading features of the measure Of 1885
will be retained with the following exceptions:
Clause 4, restricting the power OF the Irish
legislature, Is enlarged by further defining
the limitction Of the powers OF the Legislature
TO interfere with the endowment OF religion or
or to impose disability or confer privileges on
account of religious belief. Further guaran-
tees relating to UNCONVENTIONAL education are
provided. Next the constitution Of the leg
islative body will be modified by raising the
number OF members OF the first order In the
under house, who, MS 10 the first BILL shall
hold Office for ten years.
The much-disputed clause ~. removing the
Irish peers from the house of lords and the
Irish members from the house OF commons,
disappears IN the new bill, the representation
Of Ireland In the imperial parliament remain.
Ing the same as at present to meet the threat.
cned active refusal or passive resistance of the
Obstetrics to the Irish parliament by the non
payment OF taxes.
Subsection Of clause 10 OF the bill OF 1856
Is TO be extended so as 10 insure the employ
mcnt Of the police aud military forces TO en-
force the payment Of all taxes lcviablc by the
Irish parliament
Another alteration relates to disputes aris.
ing between the Irish legislature and the i'm.
perial government. Clause p Of the old bill,
providing that the judicial committee Of the
privy council should decide constitutional
questions relating to the powers Of the Irish
legislature Will be retained,
Mr.. Gladstone Is understood as proposing
to appoint a fixed number Of Irish judges TO
sit with the judicial committee when irish
questions are discussed. Apart from these
notifications the measure OF 1856 remains in
tact

A WRECK IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Fen Passengers Killed by the Telescopins
of an Express At Harrisburg.

OF an Express At Harrisburg.
A terrible wreck occurred at Dock street In
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on the cath. The
frst section Of passenger train stopped for
orders and when 1t was about to start the Sec
ond section crashed Into it, wrecking five cara.
and the locomotive of the second section.
One car fell on It's side and the fire depart
ment was called out, 1t being reported that
the wreck was on fire. This proved false
however. Surgeons Of the city were aroused
and all hurried to the hospital, where the
wounded and dying were taken as fast as re-
covered from the wreck.
The operator at Steelton Is alleged to have
been responsible for the accident In having
given Engineer Kelly the wrong signal. Tho
sharp curve at Dock street also made the dis
aster more serious than II would otherwise
have been. The baggage car, next TO the en-
CINE. was the only one In the second section
wrecked. None Of the train hands were hurt.
The private car OF George Westinghouse
was the last Of the first section and II crushed
the day coaches In front Of II into klndllng
wood. Nobody in the Westinghouse car was
hurt except the porter, and he was but slight
iy injured. A drcnching rain made the work
Of rescue exceedingly difficult owing to the
excitement
In the day coaches AT least ten persons were
killed and about thirty more injured.
