REPRESENTATIVE WILSON is right in
favoring an extra session of Congress.
If the consideration of tariff reform lie
postponed until the regular meeting of
the new Congress, a year from next De-
cember, and the usual time for the
preparation, discussion and passage OF
a general tariff bill be consumed, two
years will elapse before the country can
experience any relief from taxation,
and the election of the members Of the
54th Congress be at hand. Does Mr..
Cleveland imagine the people who have
lust elected him will stand any such
humbuggery is that? 1.-The does, he
will be u greatly disappointed man.

BEFORE the last election, the republi-
cans said protective tariff benefited
the farmers by making home market,
and thereby not only increasing the
price of farm products, but also the
value of farm lands. New England is
the manufacturing region of this coun-
try, and the manufacturers have been
protected for the last thirty years.
But the census returns show that much
as the value of the farm lands of Nir-
ginia, not manufacturing, but an ag-
ricultural State, has decreased, that de-
probation has not been rs great as that
in New England.

MEET AFTER SIXTEEN YEARs.-A

Petersburg last night at the residence
of Capt. Z. A. Goodwin, prominent
official ofthe Norfolk and Western Rail
road Company. 1t was the meeting of
Capt. Goodwyn's two brothers, Capt.
Junius A. Goodwin, prominent mer-

ing was one of great pleasure to them.

Now THAT President Harrison is
going out of Office, he is talking about
extending the operation of the civil
service law, SO as to make it applicable
to the government printing Office and
other federal service now exempt. Hay-
ing travestied the law during his whole
term, and made its humbuggery gro
tesque shame and disgrace during the
recent campaign, his littleness would
become as glaring as his hypocrisy if
he should put the talk referred to into
execution, merely for the purpose ofcur-
failing the patronage of his successor.

SIZE Is NEARLY EIGHT FEET TAI.

SIZE Is NEARLY EIGHT FEET TALL.
Aama Battailliard is in New York. and
while her name may not be very clear
as to its pronunciation to most Ameri-
cans. she herself can be viewed at
a long distance with a naked eye.
.Aama is only sixteen years old, but she
is seven feet six inches tall and weighs
236 pounds. Physicians say that after
a year or two she will be two or three
feet taller and some hundred pounds
heavier. The girl was of ordinary
growth until she was ten years old,
then she began to shoot upwards. She
is one of thirteen children of wood
cutter, who lives in France, near the
Swiss border. One of her sisters, who
accompanied her to this country, is only
two feet ten inches in height. Miss
Battaillard, the tall, is well proportional
and seems to be proud of her unusual
development.

DAYLIGHT PYRoTEHNICs.-Ihe burn
ing of trolley wire strung from the
elevated railroad structure in Fulton
street, opposite DeKalb avenue, in
Brooklyn, Tuesday, afforded startling
daylight pyrotechnic display, and
caused much fright to car passengers,
pedestrians and horses. The Third av-
enue trolley line of the City Railroad
Company has been in operation on Full
ton street for more than a week, and
there have been several electrical e1-
hibitions owing to the burning out of
the wires, but this was the most bril-
liant. The wire parted near one of the
fastenings on an elevated road pillar,
and the larger end fell to the track,
causing electric sparks to squirt out in
bright and varied hucs. An amateur
electrician temporarily stopped the
display by holding up the fallen wire
with piece of board. AThird avenue
trolley car came up, and instead of
clearing the wire ran into it, thus pro-
ducing a second display. 1t took an
hour or so to repair the damage. a
railroad official said These occur
rences need cause no serious alarm.
There would have been no danger to
man or beast by coming in contact
with that wire. There would have
been a shock, of course, but there was
not enough power to do any damage"

The Archbishops.

At the convention of archbishops IN
New York yesterday debate as to the
best methods to be pursued in obtain
ing a complete uniformity in the mat
fer of diocesan regulations is question
that has caused considerable uncertain
ty. Every bishop has the inherent
right TO make his own regulations
within his own jurisdiction, but, at the
same time. the fact of different rules
existing in different dioceses mas,
it is acknowledged, had effect on the
general discipline in the body poil-
iic of the church in this country. Al
though it is not desired to circumscrloe
the prerogatives of each bishop, the ne
cessity for uniformity in discipline has
become more apparent each year, and
the davis discussion and mutual ex-
change of opinion was confined TO thae
subject. This was one OF the questions
which the Holy See wished dehnltely,
vet tremendously determined.
The mnch-mooted school question
was not touched upon, and, in all prob
ability. will not be the subject OF any
debate during the continuance ofthe
council. -,
Last night Cardinal Gibbons and the
other visiting prelates We're gwen re-
ception ut the handsome Catholic club
on Fiftv-ninth street. Mr.. John ID.
Crimmins, one of the directors, escort
ed Mr. Cleveland to the club and intro
duced him to the archbishops. The
President-elect was given the heartlest
kind of welcome all around. Many
prominent men were present.
When escorted 10 the ballroom the
Cardinal was seated on dais, with
Archbishop Satolli on his right and
Archbishop Corrigan on his lett. The
other prelates ranged in circle to the
right of Archbishop Satolli, Archbishop
Elder leading the rest in order of prece-
dence.
Shortly after they were seated Mr.;
Cleveland entered and was received
with much applause. As Mr.. Grim
Minis escorted him up to the disnitaries
the Cardinal came down several steps
to meet him and took him eagerly
with both hands and congratulated him
warmly; in fact, his eminence shook
the Presidents hand so heartily that
his skull cap fell oil.
Archbishop Corrigan then congratu-
lated the President and introduced him
to the Pope's delegate, and he passed
down the line of the archbishops.
Governor Flower was next brought
forward and the whole company sinsly
After awhile Mr.. Cleveland went up
stairs to the library, where he held q
reception, and many were presented to
him. Mrs. Cleveland was not present
neither were Archbishops Ireland and
Williams.
President Poems said few words Of
greeting, and then Judge Jos. +. DAILY
made the formal welcome on behalf Of
the club in Il brief and felicitous speech.
There was no response on the part Of
the prelates.

In FORMER and better times men
mindful of their own regulations were
charry of their recommendations for Of
fee, because they knew that the ap-
pointing power would hold them at
least partially responsible for the ap-
pointee but it is not so now. Every
body now recommends, if asked to do
so because they are no longer held in
the remotest degree responsible, and
because it is easier to sign an applica-
ton than to refuse to do so.
