And Hogs Higher at tho Central Drove
Iards-The Close Slow.
"WEDNESDAY, July n.
The run of cattle at the Central Drove
Yards, East Liberty, was heavy this week
and prices sagged from 10c to 75c per 100
weight. Hogs were higher under a light
supply and strong outside markets and
sheep were generally lower. The close was
slow all around, with cattle reported steady
at the decline.
Mondays supply covered Isl loads, against
III last week Monday, and in consequence of
the increased supply the market ruled slow
at decline of 1O0l6c per cwt on exporters
and goo butcher grades and 20@25c on COM
mon and medium grades. Tuesdays re-
ceiprs were loads, and the market closed
slow but steady at Mondays decline. Quo

Spent fha Money for Jewelry.

Yesterday Mayor Kennedy of Allegheny
held Isabella Cramer for Court for larceny.
The charge was made by Moses Lambert,
stated before the Mayor that last week he
had engaged Isabella as clerk in his store.
Being jolly girl she won favor in the sight
of her employer and was trusted more than
any other clerk. A few days after being in
the store she quit and with her went $3.50
in money. He suspected Miss Cramer and
secured confession from her and then m ade
the information. The girl spent nearly all
of the money on jewelry.

PROrEorION KrN NIAD.

The REGISTER has often suggested
that II the tarid were raised high
enough the growing Of bananas in hot
houses might be made profitable New
England industry. But we never for
one moment imagined that such g
scheme would be seriously urged, by
sane men. We seem, however, to have
underestim&ted the lengths TO which
the demand for protection could be car
ried. According 20 the Rural CGl5or-
MAN, the PomolOgist of the Department
Of Agriculture thinks the banana affects
the price Of strawberries and other
early fruits, aud that it is a question
whether or not it would be advisable
TO have a duty put upon imported
bananas.
Certainly. Let the high tariff carni-
val 90 On. The more the merrier! The
duty on tin-plate was increased in order
10 advance the price OF sheet iron, and
unless the producers Of such wares are
entitled to better treatment than the
fruit growers, the latter have an equal
right 70 demand the imposition of duty
upon bananas in order increase the price
Of strawberries. OF course, this would
be a hardship for the people who eat
either kind Of fruit, and double hard
ship for those who eat both. But the
people are not lin it," The interests
OF the consumers are the very last thing
TO be taken into account by the high
.arifdtes.
The protected orange growers are now
talking about the expectation Of Amer
lean oranges TO England AS they seem
TO be willing 70 send their oranges to a
free trade market, it must be supposed
that they intend to sell them cheaper
abroad than at home. In this they
would only be initiating the practice Of
protected American manufacturers who
have an export trade. Seeing that the
orange grower in this country must pay
a higher price for American sgricult-
ural implements than is asked of his
foreign rivals, be can with much plaus-
Utility ask the American people to pay
more for American oranges than he can
obtain from Englishmen for the same
fruit.
This is the result Of the logical appli-
cation Of the Republican system of pro-
lection.

suing Year.

The Red Men held forth In this city

it. The Grand Council, after its arduous
labors of Tuesday, adjourned in the
evening and yesterday was given up to
enioyment. On Tuesday afternoon the
following officers we're elected for the
ensuing year: Grand Sachem, E. M.
Noel. of Benwood; Senior Sycamore,
Mr.. Farmhouse, of Grafton; Junior Sag
amore. j. X. Munroe, of Kingwood;
Great Prophet, II. G. Love, OF Grafton;
Great Representative TO the Great Coun-
ell of the United States, j. G. Sech, OF
BenwOod; Great Keeper OF Wampum,
John Schneider, of Wheeling; Great
Chief of Records, II. C. Ulrich, OF Lag
earville. The Grand Sachem has not
yet appointed his officers, the Great
Mishenawa, Great Sannop, Great Guard
of the Forest and Great Guard OF the
Wigwam, but will do so to-day. The
above officers will be installed to-day,
and the date and place for the next State
Council will be selected. 1t IS expected
that the body will adjourn at noon.
Yesterday morning at nine o'clock the
street parade took place. The line
formed at GoetZe'S Hall and marched to
Thirty-ninth street, where Blazing Ar
row Tribe, of Benwood, was stationed.
The line was then made up as follows:
Chief Marshal Henry Kosrner and AIDE Chas.
Seabright, OF BenwoOd.
Opera House Band.
Great Council Officers on foot
Logan Tribe No. 1.
GRAY Eagle Tribe No. ;.
Hackett's Band, Of Bellare.
BLAZING Arrow Tribe Fo. 10, OF Benwood.

The parade marched over the follow
ing route: Thirty-ninth to Eof, to
Tweuty-seventh, to Chapline, to Twen-
ty-Second, to Market, to Tenth, to Main,
to Sixteenth, TO the Elm Grove motor
station, where the members OF the
Tribes boarded cars for Wheeling Park.
At the Park preparations were made
for a good time, and nearly thousand
people attended the picnic. The Opera
House Orchestra was stationed upon the
dancing pavilion, and TO its music the
devotees Of terpsichOrean pleasures
whiled the hours away. Another Sec
tiOn OF the band was placed on the sum
NIT of the mound, where it rendered a
programme Of concert and promenade
music. Most of the Red Men were ac-
companied by their wives and families,
and the affair partOok OF the nature of a
family picnic,
About four o'clock the warriors as
sembled upon the dancing pavilion for
the Indian Sun dance. They were
headed by Chas. Albright of PittSburg,
Michael Stein of Fulton, and Emil
Hienk, OF this city, aud all wore their
full regaliaS. The dance was an i'm
promptu one, but that fact did not pre-
vent those participating IS well as the
on-lookers, from deriving the full meas
ure of enjoyment from the antics and
contortions of the bold Red Men, accom-
panied by Indian yellS that would make
q Comanche chief look TO his laqrels.
Altogether the day was spent very
pleasantly.
