NEW YORK, Feb. 23-The World says
today: senator Hill has secured del
days, i'm advance of the National Conven-
tion. What has he got What will he do
with IL Or what will IL do Of and for it
self.
1T can hardly he corralled and shipped
TO Chicago, TO await the meeting Of the
great convention, though the haste
with which II was snapped MP might sug-
gest such policy.
THE delegates can scarcely be forbid
den To read the newspapers until after
they have voted, like the jurors in capital
case. "A great many things are liable TO
happen, and are quite certain To happen,
during the next four months which will
materially influence and probably deter.
mine the choice Of Democratic candidate
for President"

The House of Representatives.

Mr. Heffernan of Woonsocket intro
duced an act governing the election OF the
school committee in Woonsocket, and in
addition to section 16, chapter 12s of the
Public Statutes: referred to the judiciary.
The special order for the day was taken
up, being an act in amendment of chap
ter S95 of the Public Laws. and in addition
thereto, entitled, "An act to regulate
and restrain the sale of certain
goods by itenerant venders." The bill
was reported back to the House last week,
and a synopsis was publirhed in the NEWS
of last Thursday.
Mr.. Crandall of Westerly explained that
when the original act was passed IL was
found that there were serious obstacles 10
the enforcement of the law: also, that
there were certain lines of business only
protected from the incursions of tramp
auctioneers and swindling concerns,
whereas all should have had that protec-
ton. IL was also deemed necessary to de
fine by the statutes who were Inherent
venders, and TO save from prosecution
legitimate travelling statesmen, as well as
hawkers on the streets and peddlers from
vehicles. These changes had been made
by the committee on special legislation,
and the bill as amended ought TO become
a law
Mr.. Heffernau of Woonsocket, favored
some such law; but believed that the bill
was imperfectly drawn up. He moved
that the bill be recommitted TO the COM
mittee on special legislation. This evoked
long discussion in which Messrs. Baker
and Perce contended that the act was
properly drawn and that it ought to pass
forthwith.
An amendment was suggested by Mr.
Baker providing that sheriffs and consta-
bles might sell goods according to law,
aud that bona fide assignees or receivers
within the State might dispose of wares
coming to their hands ny assignments or
orders of courts The amendment was
adopted and then the bill was passed.
Several matters from the Senate were
disposed of. and then the House was adj
iourned until IL o'clock Wednesday morn

Very sincerely yours,
One of the speakers was Gov. Mckinley

One of the speakers was Gov. Mckinley
of Ohio, who said, among other things:
When the nation wanted the tariff re-
vised on protection lines in lssS, IL called
the Republicans into power TO do 1t, and
that party did it TO stay. Not one page
of it can be repeated in ten years. At the
present rate, the present Congress cannot
repeal it in twenty years They have
started in to repeal it item by item, and
there are g. 500 items in it.
Morrison tried IL and disappeared from
Congress; Mills tried it and lost the
Speakership: Cleveland started out to
shear that sheep and came back shorn.
and now Springer is trying it. You can't
make wool tree on the sleeps back and
tax il on our backs. Protection must be
for all or none. No man or woman in
Michigan knows of the tariff as burden,
but every one of them know il as bless
ing.
The only way to win is to be courag-
eous. We lost in 1890 10y listening TO the
campaign prophet; but now the campaign
prophet is out of "a job. They told us the
last tariff was prohibitive; it has been in
operation for fifteen months and we have
never before had as extensive n trade.
THE Democrats don't know what they
want. Cleveland don't and Hill don't !;
but he may as the outcome OF what has
taken place in New York to-day"
