REPUBLICANS CELEBRATE.

Congressman Dalzell, OF PennsylYRnia,
Speaks In the Auditorium on the Tarin
Issue.
The Republicans Of the city held q
large meeting in Ethe EAuditorium. A
street parade was held early in the
evening by the Young Mems Republican
Club, the political organizations from
the Second, Fifth, Ninth, Tenth and
Eleventh wards, the Higgins Club,
West End Marvil and Willis Club,
three bands and colored fife and drum
corps. The Auditorium was filed with
people, who listened to a two-hours'
address, mainly on the great benefits Of
the Mckinley bill, and the panic and
disaster which would come from Demo
cratic rule. Charles Baird acted as
chairman. The speaker was Congress-
man John Dalzell, Of Pennsylvania, and
his argument was along the line Of other
Republican speakers He spoke OF the
protection of the sugar trust, and en-
deavored TO prove that under tariff for
revenue only the consumer paid the tax,
whereas. under the tariff for protection,
as provided In the Mckinley bill, the tax
fell on the foreign exporter, the importer
and sometimes the consumer.
General James II. Wilson and Coun-
selor William @. Spruance also made
brief addresses.

terchapge OF the products of ma
tions and not merely the taking
OF our goods to a foreign market
and selling them and bringing back
ballast.
He then showed the good results ac-
cruing from the Wilson BILL in that the
workingman can build his house cheaper,
with free lumber, can use free salt, can
wear better clothes, Of all-wool, at
cheaper rates, and can save part Of his
wages. which formerly went into the
pockets of the protected manufacturers.
Where the Mckinley bill gave US dried
acorns free, the Wilson bill gives as
clothes, aud houses, and tinwRre, and
household furniture
In conclusion he urged every voter TO
vote SO rs to not break the proud con-
tinuity Of the Democratic government
of the state, a small one, but rich In
great men, snd famous names. he
trusted that next Tuesday would result
IN the election of men who would see
that fit colleague is sent to act and
work with Senator Gray.

Washington, Feb. Capt. Arson,
who has been here for several days on
Il political mission in the interest of
his father as postmaster at Marshall

cording to his story he has his net
spread for another pitcher, and is pre-
pared to make good terms for available
material in this line.

be benefited before playing begins. No
one can consistently accuse the man.

About to Resign.
London. Jan. 31-The Pail Mall Ga
zette in a leader says: I'VE have rca-
son to know from an authority that
We are unable to disclose, but in which
we have every confidence, that Mr..
Gladstone has decided to resign al
most Immediately. We understand that
u letter announcing this resolution will
be sent to the queen by Mr.. Gladstone
before the reopening of parliament.
Mr. Gladstone's decision is due to
a sense of his advanced age and to
the great strain to which he was sub
jected during the late arduous session
of parliament. He is also deeply dis
appointed because Of the rejection Of
the home rule bill and the opposition
to the parish councils bill by the house
Of lords. Domestic pressure also had
considerable influence in determining
his mind at last Who will succeed
him and what will be the result?
The Pail Mall Gazette story is
given little credit by leading liberals.
