Mr.. Herbert Bright, of England. is in
Washington. To a reporter of the Post he
said
The manufacturing industries of England
are in a very bad way. Since the passage
of the Mckinley act we have lost a great
deal of the trade formerly enjoyed with
the United States. We have been buoyed
up in England by the hope of the passage
of the Wilson bill, but since my arrival
in the country only ten days ago l have
learned that the chances of enacting a
tariff law on the lines of the Wilson bill
seem very gloomy.
1t is no special qualification to Ameri-
cans to know that the manufacturing in
dustries of England are depressed, but Re-
publicans will find a vindication of the Nc
Kinley law In the fact that 1t is held re-
sponsible for that depression. 1t ia natural
that Englishmen should speak about the
gloomy chances of passing the Wilson BILL
but the more gloomy the outlook the better
for American interests.

The Democratic leaders of Minnesota have
issued a political address in which, after
admitting that the party has utterly failed
to redeem its promises TO the people and
has thereby practically thrown away the
victory of 1892, an attempt is made to To-
cate the responsibility. The address says:
Who are these men who have interposed
Masquerade obstacles and opposition and
made a failure due TO our fault and neg
lect" These are the men, names mt TO stand
alone alongside of Benedict Arnold in the
annals of our country:
Senator Calvin s. Brice, of Ohio; David
B. Hill and Edward Murphy, jr., of New
York; John b. Mcpherson and James Smith,

Charles H. Gibson of Maryland; Johnson
n. Camden, of West Virginia.; Donelson

Democrats that they may the better be-
tray our cause; these are they who have
wrought this marvellous change, putting
our party in the attitude of defeat and CIV
ing to our opponents that of victory

A prominent coal mine operator Of Ohio
says the present trouble in that business
is that the capacity OF the mines far ex-
ceeds the demand, owing to the depression
of business. Getting still nearer to the
first cause, he says:
This Is all due to the prospective change
or tariff. for manufacturers have shut
down over the country, and have not or
dered more than 80 per cent. of their usual
demand, while the railroads are not carry
ing more than 60 per cent. 1t is prac-

cheaper labor and cheaper goods, and must
have cheaper fuel, so there Is but little

AS most of the miners voted with the
Democratic party last year they are in
measure responsible for the condition
which is now bearing SO hardly on them.

W. W. Phillips of Fresno. who is said to
be so inimical to the railroad company
that he rides on blackboard rather than
patronize the corporation, was nominated
by the Third Railroad District conven ton
for member of the Board Of Railroad Com
missicners at the Baldwin Theater yester-
day afternoon. DR.. E. s. O'Brien of
Merced presided. with Guy S. O'Brien as
secretary.
On nominating Phillips. Patton of Los
Angeles told of the candidates buck board
rides and of how he had suffered from ex-
cessive freight charges on fruit by the
railroad. He said Phillips was young and
energetic and uncompromising in his hos
tility to the railroad, and would make a
good Commissioner # elected.
Mr.. Phillips had Do opposition, and
after he had been declared the nominee
made speech, in which he promised to
carry out the platform of the party so far
as in his power lay in the event of his
election. He said he had not sought the
Office. His friends knowing his senti-
ments, had urged him to run. Freights
were so high that shippers often made no
more than 81 30 on a carload of fruit
The nomination was made unanimous,
and Mr.. Phillips will take more blackboard

Mayor Walbridge of St. Louis Re-
fuses a Request to Close the
EVangelist's Meeting.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 24-Representatives of
the st. Louis LiquOr-deaiers' Benevolent
Association have asked Mayor Walbridge
to close the Dehodiamont COMMUNICATING
Ihey declared that it was disgrace to the
city and menace to the morals and repu-
tation of its citizens. Upon Mayor Wal
orldgeS refusal o entertain the PROPOSE
tlon the llquor-dealers argued the matter
Ihey said that the language used at the
Dehodlamont camp-meeting by Sam Jones.
when he was here recently, was such as
would not be tolerated in any community
which was self-respecting. The saloon
keepers who they represented, they said.
were law-abiding people who paid their
taxes, and that the idea of an evangelist
being allowed to come here and abuse
them was repugnant to them. They cited
one of Sam Jones' sayings, which is: "a
woman might as well be married 10 dog
as to saloon-keeper," in support of their
assertion that his language was SANDER
Gus. They also asserted hat the scurri-
lous innusndos and expressions of double
eDtendre used by the evangelist were
against public morals and decency.
The camp-meeting as it was now being
conducted. they said, bore a remarks bic
and well-defined resemblance 10 a certain
other class of illegitimate business. The
main proposition upon which the argu-
ment hinged, however. was the right of
the Mayor to stop it. as he would any
other catchpenny scheme by which
money was extracted from the gullible
public without giving valuable eonsid-
Grafton.
Mayor Walbridge explained that the
scope Of his duties did not extend to exer-
cising personal supervision or espon-
age over camp-meetings. He said that the
right of free speech was an inalienable
one, and that the Mayor of the city of ST.
Louis did not possess the power to close
the mouth Of even the meanest citizen
who might say something distasteful to
the citizens OF the municipality. His
Honor plainly intimated that he did not
indorse Sam Jones method of disseminat-
ing alleged Gospel facts. but he held to the
tentative proposition first established by
him that he could not encroach upon the
right of free speech and declined to inter-
fere In any manner whatsoever with the
Dehodiamont camp meeting. The saloon
keepers said they would take legal steps
TO suppress the meeting.

j. E. O'Donnell of San Francisco nomi-

State Controller.
L. W. H. Shanaban placed in nomina-
ton Felix Dunn. a brother OF Jonn T.
Dunn. who served as deputy in the office
when his brother was Controller.
Time was called on Shanahan, who
shouted: Don't call time on me. You
have nominated number of people who
will have 10 introduce themselves TO the
public after they have been nominated.
Felix Damn needs no introduction.
Cries of "Time" finally forced the
speaker to cease.
Samuel Braunhart tried to make a
speech in favor of Mesgher, but was ruled
out.
Robert NJ. Fitzgerald nominated R. Nj.
Turner OF Alameda for State Controller.
During the ballot protests were made 10
the chairman that the delegates were not
in a fit condition TO vote. This was a self
evident proposition. The delegates were
not only Obstreperous, but many were
lying around in all states of negligent pos
ture. There might be some connection be-
tween the indisposition of many of the
delegates and the beer foundry that
was running at full blast in the crypt of
the building. 1t was Deer-foundry estab-
lished for the business of the occasion,
and there was a constant stream of states
men to and from the delectable resort.
Mistakes were constantly be made in the
returns OF votes passed in and the staider
the turn things had taken. One old dele
gate approached the chair ana exclaimed,
The yagabonds are not tit to vote on any
question longer tonight"
A f. Jones of Butte, just before the
vote was announced. asked how his county
was recorded. When told that the twelve
votes were down for Dunn he said,
That is a mistake; there was not a dele
gale in the room when the roll Of Butte
was called"
This was but one instance of the job
berry going Cd, which was plainly apparent.
The final vote showed 646 ballots cast. one
of the largest ballots of the convention,
although many of the delegates had left
the hall aud others were in condition
Incapable Of voting
The vote for Controller was announced
as follows: Dunn, 1851; Meagher, 24O;
Turner, HOY.

necessary for choice, and a second ballot
was called for.
Gould OF San Joaquin announced that he
had arranged with the local committee
that If the convention would adjourn until
9 O'Clock in the morning the steamer would
be. held until the convention adjourned.
Jacobs Of San Joaquin Endorsed the mo-
ton of Gould. and amended to take
recess until s in the morning.
There was a large dissent. but when
Chairman Del Vale put the motion the
ayes and noes were so close that only an
ear eager TO adjourn could distinguish that
the noes had it. The motion to adjourn to
