TOBACCO AND THE TARIFF.
Richmond Dealers Protest Against an
Increase in the Tax.


Richmond, Va, Jan. 15.-At a largely
attended meeting of the Richmond TO-
bacco trade held to-day, the following
was adopted:
Resolved, That we respectfully urge
our honorable senators and representa-
tives to use their best endeavors to pre-
vent any increase in the internal revenue
taxon plug and smoking tobaccos, eheroots,
cigars and cigarettes.
Also to repeal the clause known as the
free leaf" clause in the law as il now
stands, as it is a serious injury to farmers,
merchants, manufacturers, and one of the
chief reasons for the immense decrease of
about 10000, 900 pounds in the manufacture
of plug alone in one year, with no per-
ceptible increase in other branches,
thereby causing heavy loss of revenue
to the government.
By repeating this "free leaf'' clause the
revenue from manufactures of tobacco in
all forms will be so largely increased as
to render any increase in the tax unnec-
essary, and will restore active competi-
tion for the chief product of many of the
largest states

that besides, as he was suffering from

SOME TRIPLErs WHO LIVE.
The Cases Are Rare, But a Medical
Journal Describes One or Two.

From the London Lancet.
We understand that coming of age fes-
tivities of an unusual kind were cele-
brated at Whitenash, near bennington,
recently. Twenty-one years ago the wife
Of cattleman gave birth to triplets. She
was the mother of thirteen children in
all. The triplets survived, and their com
ing of age was the occasion of the rejoic
lngs we have referred to. Although. I'M
doubtedly. IN cases of triplets the chill
Gren generally die soon after birth still,
it has occasionally happened that they
have survived, and attained maturity,
though 1t IS certainly a rare occurrence.
Thus DIR. Merriman, said:
so many years had elapsed, notwith
standing repeated inquiries, before [
could meet with a Northumberland in
stance of three children at a birth being
all reared, that 1 began very much to
doubt the fact"
He then mentioned case of triplets,
where two males and one female all
reached adult life, and besides this had
had three other well authenticated in
stances of triplets arriving at maturity
reported to him. We may add that case
OF bankruptcies is on record, where the
four children were born alive, and were
all reared. In this case there were three
males and one female, and the female be-
came herself the mother of triplets.

To persist in stealing point lace when

Wheeling, Va, Jan. 15.-To-day the

Wheeling potteries were notified that, be-

per cent in wages would be demanded.
In addition to this it will be proposed that
20 per cent. of their wages at the new
rate will be withheld until it is known
what changes will be made in the tariff
schedules. In case there is no change
the 20 per ceat. will be handed TO the
workmen. If the tariff is reduced a propor-
tionate part of the money will be retained
by the manufacturers TO make them
whole on all ware then in stock which
comes into competition with foreign made
goods. II is not likely that the operatives
will accept the proposal. The same gen
