by Mayor Sullivan, 0'Day and Others.
Agree-Preparing for long Struggle
Paper Hangers Unable to Settle.

The annual convention of the InteTna-
tional Machinists Union began yesterday
morning In the English Hall, with large
crowd present. E. L. Ten Eyck. chairman
of the local reception committee. called
the assemblage to order and asked for
silence while an invocation was made by
Rev. j. A. MIlburn. of the Second Presby-
terrain Church. An address was then made
by Mayor Sullivan. who welcomed the con-
vention and extended the freedom of the
city to the delegates. The address was
we'll received. John O'Dsy. presidents of
the union, then made an address. replying
to the words OF welcome of the Mayor. -.
I. Kennedy followed. speaking upon the
subject of the efficiency OF trades unions.
Harry Easton, of Omaha spoke upon the
aims Of organization. James OConnell. of
Oil City. spoke on the advantages of short
or working day. He argued and showed
By figures that shorter hours were accom-
panied by higher wages. The closing ad-
dress OF the morning was made by j. J.
Creamer. ex-president of the union. He
urged the convention to beware of rocks
which in previous sessions had proven full
OF trouble and danger: and gave the con-
ceived. Tie warmth OF his welcome pre-
saged that there Is some vigor In the effort
making to re-elect him president.

were received from the International As
ISOLATION of Blacksmiths and from the Ma
tional Brotherhood Of Boilermakers. ex-
tending compliments of the season and
good will. The hope was expressed that
the federation of these three associations
might some time be accom- plished. The
letters bore evidence that the senders were
anxious that the legislation of the machin-
ISIS might take the form Of federation.
The idea of federation was perfectly agree
able to the macblnists. and resolu lions

CRISP AS A HuMoRrsT.

Whatever criticism may be made of
the treatment accorded the Democratic
congressman from Minnesota by
Speaker CRISP, the Republicans have
much reason for felicitation.
What, for Instance. could be more APP
propriate than the juxtaposition of the
gallant Col. KIEFER, of st. Paul, and the
erudite TAwNEY, of Winona. The col
onel is on the alcoholic liquor commit
tee, while Tawney fills niche OH irri-
CATION.
When Winona is athirst call on st.
Paul will suffice. The salutation of
Col. KIEFER to Corporal TAwNEY as
they meet OH Pennsylvania avenue will
be striking and historic. LET us irri-
gate" will signify joint committee
meeting of the st. Paul and Winona
congressman. Mr.. CRISP may have his
weak points, but his eye for the eternal
fitness OF things is unfaiiing.
And then our friend LOREN FETCH
ER, who has been in luck ever since he
captured LORD GORDON GORDON in
Manitoba, is recognized as commercial
factor because he is Republican. If
he had been Democrat he would have
cut no figure.
The comfort our Washington CORE
spondent derives from Mr.. CRIsP's
humor is type of wild hilarity.
No one secured Except LOREN) what
they wanted or expected, and still all
are enthusiastic over the crumbs which
fell from the speakers table.
1t is as well to drop the subject and
call meeting of the ST. Paul colonel
and Winona corporal as mental diver
sion.

The Ohio Democrats have amply

The nomination of MIR. Neal insures a

THE PATH MADE EASY.

We are pleased to have the support of
the Boston Herald in our assumption
that the financial question, instead of
being, as we first thought, a misfortune
as otstructlng the progress of the cause
of tariff reform, is positive help by re-
moving all objections that might have
been raised with some plausibility had.
the trade conditions of year ago re-
manned undisturbed.
IA Merchant" of Boston had written
tie Herald plaintiyely declaring that
all would be we'll if congress would
only repeal the SHERMAN act and let
the tariff alone. His letter showed that
he belonged to that once numerous
class of Republicans who regard their
party as the savior of society, and the
Democrats as rash iconoclasts bent only
Oh destruction. The first administration
of President CLEVELAND thinned out
the ranks of this class, to whom no
greater misfortune could befall the
country than Democratic administra-
ton; but there are some of them left,
men too narrow between the eyes, and
with more latitude than longitude in the
shape of their heads.
The Herald answers its Merchant"
with a sweet patience and soft per-
suasiveness that is as beautiful as it Is
wasteful, except as to its effect on
others, and closes its argument with the
following correct appreciation of the
situation:
If business was just now in flourish
ing condition, if merchants had ordered
large stocks of goods, and the mills had
contracts which dated months and al
most years ahead, the argument could be
made and defended with great force, that
the time was inopportune to un-
dertake the work of tariff revision. LIZ
fact, we have at this time a con-
ditlon singularly appropriate for very
material tariff changes. We doubt
whether there has been period since
1878 when the merchants, the manu-
facturers and the retail dealers had
smaller stocks of goods OH hand than
they have now or are likely to have
within the next few months. On this
account change in the scale of prices
will affect the very minimum quantity
of commodities. More than this, if the
business interests of the country are to
recover confidence and to start in upon
an era of prosperity. it is necessary that
the grounds upon which these advances
are made should be firmly established,
and this can only be done by defining
what the revision of the tariff will be BY
