FISH AND FLESH.

There was an unusual scene ut the
capitol to-day. Over 1000 members OF
the WOTi5ingmen's Protective League
marched t. the steps of the building.
and after a committee had handed ite
resolutions 10 the Pennsylvania Sen
atOrs tO he presented III congress, the
doors OF the capitol were thrown open
TO the delegates who entered the build
ing and crowded the public galleries,
where they observed the proceedings
Oh the tiUVr OF the senate. and had the
satisfaction Of seeing their petitions pre-
sented by Senator Quay. - 8ssVcidfcd

BENJAMIN STIgTLY IN 1T.

Any doubts, if any heretofore existed,
as to the candidacy of Mr.. Benjamin
Harrison for the republican nomination
ia 1896 may NOW be set at rest.
The Cincinnati Commercial Gazefte,
whose editor holds most intimate rela-
lions with the sx.president, declares that
be will be a candidate for the nomina-
tian.
1t would seem now that there are three
prominent names mentioned on the repnb-
lican side with the chances abont equally
divided. The distinguished HoOsier Ex-
President Harrison, Wm. Mckinley aud
Tom Reed. Each of these gentlemen are
satisfied that the presidency is within his
grasp provided only lac can obtain the
nomination. 1t is not TO be denied that
there is n possibility, nay, even proba-
bility that their faith is well founded
We are not willing to c0Reetle that
there has been any change in the views
of the great mass of the people and we
believe that to-day the fundamental prin-
eiplss of democracy as enunciated in
democratic platforms on the great issues
that divide the two parties are as pOpu-
lar as ever, towit: Free trade or revenue
reform as it Is called, popular sovereignty
as opposed to Capitalization and civil
service reform. 1t is only the diiItOry
action of the democratic majority in con-
greBs and its E,ilure TO promptly fulfill
the pledges that We're made to the people
that have ieopardized the future of the
party. There is yet time to redeem these
pledges and we trust thatsthe succeeding
two years Of democratic rule will he as
conspicuous for its prompt and wise
methods of dealing with the great queB-
tiOns of public policy with which con
gress is confronted as the past year has
been for yaeillatiOn and imbecility. AS
for the republicans, the bitter rivalry
that exists between the three prominent
candidates mentioned, may be the de-
feat of them Mi and dark horse may
win in the next republican national con-
Vention. The next president must be Il
democrat.

party of exeursioIists embarked for the
remainder of the trip down the river on
the steamer Olive and barge. The Grow
ley Band eniivened the trip with excel
lent music and the outing proved most
enjoyable. After a run of twenty miles
the beautiful sheet of water styled Lake
Arthur was reached and a landing made
near the hotel amid the baOmiHg Of cau-
mons and the clashing of brass. AT this
place the majority of the excursionists
disembarked and proceeded to the hotel,
located III a line grove Of trees, where
they remained until the Olive had made
the round of the Lake and was again tied
to the wharf. Dinner was served at 3
O'Clock in a special pavilion erected for
the occasion, and was heartily enjoyed
and appreciated by the hungry eXcur-
sionists. The return trip WAS begun a
few minutes after o'clock and the party
reached Crowley at a comparatively late
hour, after experiencing a most delightful
day upon the water. The people of
Crowley have established q reputation
for hospitality which will Iinger in the
minds of the state press long after the
convention has become thing of the
past. Delegates were present from all
parts of the state and were l0Hd in their
praise of the ''Riee City and its people.
Considerable regret is expressed over the
sickness of CatLarmc Coluund other lady
members Of the association. who have
always been prominent III advancing the
interests Of Louisiana and the welfare of
its press.
The Lake Charles echo., 1894-05-11

A FEW years ago, but little interest
was manifested in the north in the mat
ter Of the Nicaragua canal, and the
proposition to extend government aid
much less to build the same at the gov
ernment's expense was considered absurd
Now this project claims the eonsidera-
ti0n and endorsement of nearly all the
great northern dailies who are urging
congress to pass bill providing for its
construction and control by government.
The old idea was that the building of
this canal would increase the Importance
Of southern seaboard cities at the expense
of New York. Now it is generally under
stood that this canal viii esFtainIy b.,
built, if mot by American capital, it viii
be by England, and therefore be under
English control. The tariff bin once dis
posed Of, it is highly probable that
Senator Morgan's bill providing for the
construction Of the canal viii be taken
up and passed.

HON. B. 7. JONAS.

The BastrOp MOrehouse, appeal, in
announcing its advocacy of the election
of Hon. B. +. Jonas to the United States
senate, pays him the following compli-
ment:
Hon, B.F Jonas is candidate for the
Gibson succession in the senate of the
United States. He enters the race on his
record as O democrat, and he asks sup
port Tor the position Oh the merits of the
record he made while in public life. Re

BI.METALISM.

The International bi-metallic confer
ence in London a few days ago is a mat
ter Of profound interest to every friend
Of silver in this country. 1t demonstrated
the fact that not only is there a strong
sentiment in favor of bi-metalism in
England and on the continent but that
the sentiment is growing.
We belong to the number that believe
that the restoration Of silver to its form
or place in the currency Of the world
can only be accomplished by information.
al agreement. No one or two nations can
bring this about. 1t is therefore with
profound satisfaction that we learn OF
any concerted movement in the trust OF
silver.
We append the message of United
States senators who have been considered
rs opposed to silver, to the conference
As Il matter of fact we believe silver has
but few enemies in this country, although
there are differences of opinion as to tht
best methods for the restoration of the
white metal:

Condition Of the Iron Trade,

New YOGK. June 1.-THE IRON Age
will say tomorrow regarding the iron
aud meta trades: A good deal OF Bes-
Semer ore has been sold during the past
three or four weeks and an advance OF
about lOal5 cents per ton over the low
est prices has been secured. For de-
livery during the next three or four
months Sill OOall % is being asked for
BeSSemer pig 10 the valleys. The prices
at which Bessemer is held have enCOur-
aged preparations to start some outside
idle plants and have caused some
furnaces which run on foundry
iroa usually to switch of on BeSemer
The soft steel trade is still at sea.
Chicago appears to be the most active
market in some Of the leading lines,
throughout the East he demand in
every line continues exceedingly slow.
In fact, the Indifference OF buyers in
the faceof threatened scarcity, has been
phenomenal. The Lake Superior cop
per companies have made broad sweep
and have sold twenty-five million
pounds at cents. The invasion Of
trade by the electroytic copper has
finally driven them 10 drastic measures.
The moCthly statistics Of pig iron
production show the tremendous effect
OF the coke strike. The weekly pro-
ductiou Of pig iron, which was l26, 732
tons on April l, dropped TO 60, tons
on June /. A year since on June l,
when the output was still at normal
rate, the production was l74,O29 tons
weekly. OF the $ furnaces producing
90. l57 tons weekly on June l, 1894,
there were 40 coke stacks at work max
ing 47,lO4 tons Of pig iron weekly, 80
anthracite furnaces producing l2,139
tons weekly, and IS charcoal furnaces,
with 5 weekly make OF 1924 tons.
