fearless regul p and reduction of the tariff to x the changed condi- tions would c.sry to every humble home in the land the blessings of in- creased comfortable and cheaper liv- ing.
 The millions of our countrymen who have fought bravely and well for tariff reform should be exhorted to continue the struggle, boldly challenging to open warfare and constantly guarding against the treachery and half-hearted- ness in their camp.
 Tariff reform will not be settled until it is honestly and fairly settled in the interest and to the benefit of patient and long suffering people.

OPINION AGAINST DRYDEN,
An Appeal Has Been Noted Against Judge
 Coles Decision.

Washington, Aug. N.-Judge Cole of the district supreme court, to-day rem dered his decision in the matter of the application of L. T. Dryden of Balti- more for a writ against Secretary Car lisle to compel the latter to restore him to the position he formerly held as United States shipping commissioner at Baltimore. The opinion was against Mr. Dryden. .,-r...
 MT. Dryden's application was based on the language of the statute creating the office of shipping commissioner, which says tha. no removals shall be made except for cause. It was the opinion of the court that the matter of removals and appointments as ship ping commissioners was discretionary with the secretary of the treasury. MT. Dryden has noted an appeal.

MANY DELINQUENT TAXPAYERS. The List Contains 2,75O Names-Full!
 $500, ,OOO Against Them.

The board of councilmen held a special meeting last night. Nineteen members were present, and President North presided The first business was the reading of the following communi- cation from Tax Collector Futile:
 To the Honorable Court of Common
 Council:
 Gentlemen: Herewith I hand you full list of the taxes standing on the books of Dr. William Hillhouse for 1874 to 1880, inclusive, and also those stand ing on my own books from that time to 1891. There is a very large number on the list which have been abated by the tax commissioners and the court of common council. Real estate liens have been placed upon all property within one year from the time the taxes on such property became due, and no liens are released except on payment of tax es, interest and for service of liens.
 Signed, Theodore A. Futile,
 Collector of Taxes.
 With the above letter were eleven complete lists containing the names of delinquent taxpayers from 1874 to 1891. But one copy was issued to the board, and this is in the keeping of Assistant City Clerk Street. After glancing over the list it was unanimously accepted On motion of Councilman Bishop it was referred to the committee on claims for inspection at the convenience of the committeeman. Next Monday night the list will come up before the aldermen. The eleven parts of the list contain 2,760 names, with total of $350.000 against them. It is not specified by the tax collector that all of the 2,75O names are those of delinquents, but he does specify that some of them may have had their taxes abated by the proper authorities. As is known the books of the tax office have not been audited in fifteen years, and conse- quently the task will be hard one. The meeting last night lasted only about fifteen minutes. One of the coun cilmen in looking over the list was heard to remark that quite $60,OOO or $7O000 could be collected from the de- linquents the first year, inasmuoh as many of them were we'll able to pay. It look now as if the effort to compel these delinquents to pay up will meet with some kind of success. !,

 New Beford. Mass, Aug. T.--By the starting up of the Bennett and Colum- bla mills Wednesday about one-tfird of the mill operatives on strike last week will have returned. While the decision to start is not much of sur prise to the operatives 1t is no doubt break In the ranks of the manufac- turers and the predictions of an early ending of the great labor struggle may come through. There is a division of public sentiment as to what the effect of the yielding of these mills to the demands of their employees will be. The weight of opinion seems. however. to be that 1t will have but slight in- fluence with such mills as produce cloth. The leaders of the weavers at- tach Slight importance tothe matter and say 1t does not affect their fight Some of the men go so far as to say they never even took the trouble to ascertain If the rumors of g. settlement were cor rect.
 There is no doubt that there Is much greater demand for yarn mill products than for that of the cloth mills and therefore, the uncertainty of the length of the strike. By the settlement of the strike in all of the yarn mills the strug- gle takes on different phase. Where the spinners were the central figures the weavers now occupy that position. When yarn mills resume more than halt of the members of the Spinuers' Union will be employed.
 With all the yarn mills running there will still be 150 spinners and over 5000 weavers, and as many more card-roCm help out. Thus the weavers will not only demand a withdrawal of the notices of reduction. but demand that the mill managers furnish them partic- ulars. The mills here are losing some oe their best class of help. Over seventy five tickets have been sold to operatives who have departed for Canada, they being French-Canadians.
 A large number of English and Scotch families are also leaving the city and nearly one hundred operatives have either gone to the old country or to manufacturing centsrs in this country. Operatives in he'Wamsu.ta mills, who received their pay this morning, complaint was short anywhere from 60 cents to $50.

In Fall River.

Fall River, Mass, Aug. 27.--At a large meeting of the spinners' union to- night it was voted to declare all union benefits off for four weeks, beginning last Monday morning. This vote will include everyone who was or who may be entitled to benefits till the time limit expires. The discussion lasted an hour and half and was very heated. The action was not entirely unanimous, but will undoubtedly be followed. At the oarders' meeting it was voted to discon- tinue all union benefits, beginning this morning and lasting as long as the lock i; out continues.

TAMMANY'S DEFEAT.

Amid the general rejoicing over
the downfall OF Tammany, it Is but
fair to say that Tammany was not
all bad and those who have unthink-
ingly contributed to the destruction
OF the great institution may yet
have cause to regret 1t. True, the
disclosures OF the Lexow investigat-
ing committee have shown that 1t
had become degenerate and in several
ways corrupt, but was 1t any more
corrupt that the social conditions ex-
isting within the white sepulchres
whence the war against Tammany
had its inception:
Within the palatial residences of
Fifth avenue, New York, there Is
reeking to-day more social filth, cor.
ruption and private infalny than any
that could be disclosed by hundred
LuxOws, and the labOring masses pay

THE CONGRESSIONAL DUMP.

One Of the biggest surprises Of the
election Is the fact that six out OF
the seven congressional districts In
Cook County have certainly been
carried by the Republicans and pos.
sibly the seventh. Although land
slide In the county was not unex-
pected, it did DOT seem as II 1t could
have had as much effect in the sub.
divisions as In the county at large.
Yet such beyond doubt was the
case. Some OF these districts were
supposed to DC so overwhelmingly
Democratic that nothing could
change them round to the Republic
an Congressional column.
These calculations, the events have
shown, were entirely at FAULT Even
In the Third, where the Democrats
were so supremacy confident
of success that no campaign work
was done there, and the Democratic
candidate for reelection, the Hon
Lawrence L. McGann, wrapped him
self up In a mantle Of silence ant
inaction, appears to have gone Re
publican by few votes plurality
At this writing there are a few pre-
cincts missing which may give Mr.
McGann a lead OF a few score votes

There Is some talk already about
the next Legislature changing the
alleged gerrymander of the State and
redistricting 1t to the advantage of
tho Republicans. What do the Re.
publicans want any way-thc earth.

The result OF tho last election
shows that there has not been very
much OF q gerrymander after all,
and that all the bowling and
crashing of teeth over this sub.
ject was but 50 much wind
and buncOmbe. This, like our local
campaign cries OF fraud, stuffed reg.
lister, colonization, repeater and the
like, seems to have had its origin
only In tho vivid imagination of the
parties making them. The Republi.

their United States Senator without
opposition, they have a safe working
majority for all party measures.

THE REPUBLICAN, MANAGERS.

Common courtesy and Justice de-
mand that we should accord some
tribute to the able management of
the Cook County campaign by the
Republicans. In the first place they
chose for candidates for the county
offices the very best timber in their
party.
Such men as James Pease, Daniel
ii. Kochersperger, Daniel ID. Healy are
men of general popularity, have not
made any antagOnisms or taken part
In any factional troubles In their
party. They were In fact model can
ddates who appealed strongly to the
support of their entire party and
drew strength trOcl outside it.
For the selection of this admirably
chosen ticket, the Republican party
Is largely indebted to Aid. NJ. b.

gave birth to Tammany there lurked
more real danger to this republic,
and more unAmerican opposition to
It's, principles and institutions, than
ever was or ever could be developed
by the degcneracy of the great ma
chine.
Tammany was founded by John |
Kelly long years ago for the purpose Of
resisting the Entertainments of bigots
and fanatics upon the rights of
Others. 1t was founded to pio-
tect from the grinding tyranny
and fanatical fury of the fathers
Of the Parkhursts and the Strongs
people whose only crime was that In
their veins ran the life tide Of n
different race, and the fact that they
worshipped ut different shrine from
their prosecutors.
In word, Tammany was or.
ganized to protect the rights Of all
men of all races, creed and nation.
ality to the enjoyment Of those
liberties which the constitution says
shall belong to all men who are
citizens OF the United States. Be
fore Tammany was organi Ger
man and Irish citizens duly natur-
allied would not be allowed to the
polls, and the franchise was limited
to proscriptive bigots and disciples
OF Knownothingism. Tammany laid
the forces Of acknowledgment in the
dust, protected the naturalized citi.
zen from the savagcry by which he
had been ground down, and asserted
and maintained the right of freedom
of thought and action In political
and religious matters. This was
done at first by organized physical
force when reason and argu.
nent could not prevail, and later
on by means Of Its superb polit.
ical organization, which made
of New York City the very citadel
Of Democracy. It has produced
galaxy after GALAXY Of orators, states.
men and soldiers. 1t has given to
New York City some Of the best
municipal administrations ever given
, that or any other municipality. 1t
has been Inundated and is down In
the dust ut last. This may be but
, a Christening that will purify without
destroying. Tammany recognized
n and purged of Its sins may once

n the affairs OF the empire state and
city with the motto "resurgam" upon

THERE Is a general impression that
the humidity Of the air is greater In
the woods than In the open fields.
This Is cOntradicted, however, by the
result OF observations recently made
in Germany. 1t was found there
that the humidity, both relative and
absolute, was slightly greater In the
open than In the woods, and this was
true equally In the morning and In
the afternoon. AS to the tempera.

THE Supreme Court Of Minnesota
has rendered decision OF cOnsidera.
bic interest to the great and daily
increasing number OF bicyclists. 1t
involves the rights Of the latter on
the highways. The facts In the case
are that horse attached to buggy,
while being driven along a street,
took fright ut a bicycle coming from
the opposite direction, ran away,
smashed the buggy and injured the
driver. The latter brought suit
against the bicyclist for damages,
and the court holds that under such
circumstances damages are not re-
coverable. The Judge says: "Bi.
cycles are vehicles used very extern.
sively for convenience, recreation,
pleasure and business, and the riding
of them on the public highway In the
ordinary manner, as Is now done, Is
neither unlawful nor prohibited, and
they cannot be banished because they
are not ancient vehicles and were not
used In tho garden OF Eden by Adam
and Eve" This decision is In accord
with several that have been rendered
by other cOurta Important as 1t Is
to bicyclists, its chief interest to the
community is its Illustration OF the
