THE AMERICAN FEDERATION.
Many Matters of General Interest Before
the Convention for Discussion-The
Tariff Debate Shut on.

PHILADELPHIA, PA, December A.
At the third days session Of the Amer
! lean Federation of Labor this morning
the committee on resolutions reported q
plan to create national or internation-
al union whenever seven local unions
of any craft had been formed. Pres-
dent Gompers thought that it would
not always be practical, owing to the
weakness of newly formed unions. The
debate was suspended by the appear
ance OF ex-senator Henry w. Blair, Of
New Hampshire, who addressed the as
sembled delegates on his proposed i'm
| provement of the common school
system.
A special. committee was appointed
for the consideration of methods for
lighting to their proper functions the
military and judicial powers, which it
was resolved had been used in contra
vention of law and government during
recent labor encounters.
Numerous resolutions were intro
duced. among them the following: Favor
ing the assistance of laboring menin tie
presentation Of certificates returning
Chinese; prohibiting japanese immi-
grafton; for a congressional investiga-
tiOn of the C9ur D'Alene trouble; for
establishing friendly relations with the
knights of Labor.
A recommendation from the Grievance
Committee was adopted recommending
that the Duquesne and Alvin theatres
OF Pittsburg be declared non-union il
they refuse to sign the scale amended
by the machinists and the electrical en-
ployes by January l. Another recon-
mendation was also concurred in, revok-
ing the charter of the Cleveland, Ohio,
Sewing Machine Iron Workers Union,
and instructing the members to join the
National Sewing Machine Iron Work
ers.
A breeze over the tariff was provoked
by negative report on a resolution
asking an extra session of Congress for
the passing OF free trade legislation.
An attempt was made 10 discuss the
resolution, but the chair decided that
any discussion on the tariff was not
german to the issues before the Fedora.
tion and that the resolution was out of
order.
Prof. Salter, Of the Ethical Culture
Society, made short address on the re-
cent economic conferences at Chicago.
After other routine business the con-
vention adjourned until tomorrow.

! Chairman Taubepeck Urges PoPulist Leg
isIators to Vote for None but Members OF
Their Own Party for Senators.
TOPEKA, KAs., December 14.-Copies
of a letter from II. E. TaubenecR,
Chairman of the Peoples Party National
Central Committee, have been received
here, in which he urges the members of
the new party to force the election OF
straight out PopuliSts in those States
where they hold the balance Of power
I'm the Legislature. Mr.. Taubeneck's
letter purports to be reply to one re-
ceiyed from d. B. Hanna, of Tacoma,
Washington, who wishes to prevent ii
possible any members in the States
from voting for either a Republican or
a Democrat for United States Senator.
Mr.. Taubeneck says:
"The great question now is-what
will the Peoples party legislators do
when il comes to balloting for Senators?
Will they be big enough for the posi-
ton they occupy, will they remain true
to the people who elected them or will
they disgrace their States and Senti-
ment of the United States Senate with
a tinge of bribery attached TO their GER
tificates OF election, as the State of 1lli-
nois did two years ago?
s'The position our friends occupy in
the different State legislatures is not an
enviabIe one. Any one who has not
gone through q contest of that kind
does not know what he will have TO
bear. The future of our movements
rests with them. Then can either
make or destroy the party. But it
seems to me that any one with the fate
of Moore and oockerell before him new
er win turn his back on the peoole who
electbd him.
s.As far as am concerned, I Will say,
give q crown Of honor to him who
stands firm and an eternal curse to him

mark:

Nj. Rouvier thereupon left the meeting, de-

INTEREST KEEPS UP.

Filled with Interested Listeners.

Filled with Interested Listeners
New York, December 14.-Rev. DR..
Briggs resumed the reading of his
lengthy defense In his trial for heresy
at the old Scotch church this afternoon.
There is evidently no diminution in the
public interest in the result Of the con-
test, because the galleries were filled as
usual with spectators. The Doctor
said OF the Salvation Army:
1T is very significant at the close Of
our century that we have a great mill
tary organization outside the Christian
church without ministry and without
the sacraments, which seeks above all
things the salvation of the lost and en-
deavors to impart full salvation to all
people"
AT the close Of the meeting motion
to adjourn until after the holidays, was
lost. Permission was given DR.. Briggs
to print his reply to charges four and
five, and submiJit to the members with
out reading it. This part of his reply,
the Doctor said, would require week
10 read.

Philadelphia Times
Not only is the Force bill issue
dead and buried without the hope
Of resurrection, but the existing
Federal Election laws which were
prostituted to illdstrste some Of
the worst features of the Force
bill policy at the election yester-
day, will be effaced from our stat
utes, and the Capitalization Of Fed
eral power to control elections
will be ended for al time. With
the overthrow of the theory of
force in National elections by the
election of Cleveland, will come a
positive halt in the bewildering
debauchery Of the ballot 10y cam
paign contributions exacted from
the favored classes benefited by
class legislation. With the defeat
of force methods in elections and
the defeat of the most gigantic
efforts to pollute our whole politi-
cal system by appeals to cupidity,
comes the end of the class legisla-
tion that has centralized power
and wealth, and oppressed the
many for the benent of the few.
These are the jewels of the Cleve-
land victory won before the. su-
preme tribunal of the Republic.
Let no one assume that the
election of Cleveland can cause a
violent shock to any of the legiti-
mate industries or. enterprises of
the country. Our monopoly
trusts and combines which have
aggregated over S1,5O0,0OO,OOO in
close corporations or contracts to
increase the cost Of the necessaries
of life, will be overthrown, but
they are the unhealthy growth of
a diseased business system, and it
is fortunate that they have been
strangled before they became alb
solute masters of our industry and
trade. They must perish, but le-
gitimate enterprise will be made
more healthy and prosperous by
the death blow dealt to organized
monopoly. All intelligent bust
ness men know that the election
of Cleveland brings no threat of
free trade, or of even an approach
to free trade.
