No Special Legislative Session.

Trenton, Aug. 4.-Governor Griggs in
an interview yesterday ridiculed the
story that there. will possibly be a
special session Of the legislature in view
of the fact that the special constitu-
tional election falls on the first day
for registration for the regular fall
election in cities of over 10000 popula-
ton. The governor said that the CO.
incidence was thoroughly understood
at the time the bill was drawn, and
thought that 1t would be great con-
venience for the voters to be able to
vote on the constitutional amendments
and register for the fall election on the
same day. The governor declined to ex-
press an opinion as to whether the
election officers would be entitled to re-
ceive double pay for acting in the two
capacities.

Cottonseed bulls for COWS was the
text for tho following remarks from
Rural New Yorker: "Our impression is
that northern dairy COW would have a
severe case Of sick headache at the mere
sight Of the mess Of cottonseed hulls
prepared for her southern sister, These
'hulls' seem to be moro than 80 per
cent lint, and we should call them just
about as digestible as the contents of
the family ragbag. Yet the southern
cattle eat them we'll and thrive upon
them when mixed with grain. There is,
certainly, no reason why these hulls
should be fed at the north. In fact, even
on most southern farms we should con-
slider it better economy to feed ensilage
and use the hulls for fuol. The butter
from thte bull fed cattle was certainly
too hard and cru.rbly to sell in northern
markets -

Dispute Over Palmyrn Island

San Francisco, Aug. 4.-The right of
the British government to take pos
session Of Palmyra Island is to be
disputed. Luther Wilcox, of Honolulu,
declares that the island belongs to
himself, Fred Wondenbsrg and Will
lam Kinney. They secured their right
from the Pacific Navigation company,
which purchased the island from the
Hawaiian government. The govern
ment, in turn, acquired its right
through discovery and colonization of
the island by Charles Benton in 1862.

then put off in the boats, which were
kept near together for 4S hours, when

Powderly yesterday took the prescribed
oath and received his commission as
commissioner Of immigration, succeed

In answer to inquiries Mr.. Powderly

Miners Sue Operators.

Altoona, Pa, Aug. 4.-Although the
Mitchell coal operators at Hastings
supposed they had made satisfactory
terms with their miners, the men are
still out. The trouble at the Sterling
mine No. 8 is still on. Thirty-two men
have taken new step by suing the
officials Of the mine for the value of
the fifth ton taken off them. The suits
average $40 each. The miners say that
in addition to being obliged to dig
$500 pounds for ton, they have been
robbed of every fifth car they put out.

the Portuguese government is setting
the constitution at defiance and adopt

warrants, enter private houses at all

Rendering the Tariff Unpopular.


Certain political buzzards are busily en-.
gagged In decrying the Dingley tariff and
striving to render it unpopular. Their
constant cry Is that 1t taxes the poor man
for the benefit of the rich-that 1t impovel-
lshes tho many in order to enrich the few.
Their assertions are childlike II not abso.
lutely foolish, as there is no country on the
face Of the earth where the benefits and
blessings resulting from the employment
Of labor wero more generally enjoyed by
the great mass of tho people than the
United States, prior to tho election OF
Grover Cleveland as President. The
declaration that protection Is unconstttu.
tional and the enactment Of the Wilson
tariff Frustrated our industries md impov'
srished rich and poor alike. Tho dullest
intellect must understand this. and yet
many shut their eyes and bllndly and
stupidity adhere to their former hcreI's.
One Of the slupidest argumsnsudN cd
Is that manufacturers can export u cer'ain
line Of goods and sell them at n lower price
TO foreigners than they sell them to our
own people. II such a course Is pursued
there must DO good reason for 1t, No
manufacturer can DO found who will sell
bis products in foreign market for less
price than he can dispose OF them to his
American customers. Tho thing IL pre-
posteroua II the home market pays better
than the foreign one, the goods will DO
sold in that market. Manufacturers will
not sell goods abroad Of q less price than
they can get OF their own doors, and only a
knave or fool will contend that they do.
But this argument, or rather assertion, is
on par with others made to bolster up a
sinking cause, and 1t Is so shallow as to
require no explanation.
