Tariff in Iowa.

There is a wide division OF opinion
among the Republicans on the tariff
in Iowa." said H. j. Evans. of Dubuque.
at the Riggs House yesterday, "and
| do not know but that the faction
demanding a revision of the tariff is
right I learned at the Treasury De-
partment today that our customs receipts
since the 1st of July, which is the
beginning of the fiscal year. exceed
$50 900 600. an increase of nearly 500.
600. 900 over the s/me period of last
year. When the peoples money is
rolling into the Treasury at this rate,
with no means for letting 1t out, 1t is
no wonder that panics threaten Wall
Street. This great increase in customs
receipts show the prosperity Of the
country, and 1t is also a reminder thai
the time has come to revise the sched-
ules of the Dingley tariff law
I'VE do not need so much money in the
Treasury, and the only way to check it
is TO revise the tariff. l believe in
protection. but the time has come to
cry halt, and ascertain IL some in
dustries are not getting too much pro-
lection for the general good OF the
people. 1t makes no difference how the
election goes. the next Congress will
have to take up the tariff question. Anl
the Representatives who oppose 1t this
election will be run over by the people,"

Want the Speskership.

New York will probably have two
aspirants for the Speakefship should
We control the next House." said d. J..
Thomas, well known Republican of
Buffalo, at the Raleigh last evening. 1.-The
candidates Will be Representatives
Payne and Sherman. The New York
delegation, of course, will decide which
of the two shall make the race. Sher-
man, before II was known that Speak
er Henderson would retire, had virtually
accepted the office of railroad commits
sioner, but when Henderson's letter of
withdrawal was published the Utica
statesman changed his mind and decided
to make the race for Congress.
Sherman is popular and so is Payne,
and for that reason the action of the
delegation in passing upon their claims
will be watched with interest. If knew
how Senator Platt stood on the matter
/ could tell who New York's candidate
would be. Mr.. Payne is the floor
leader and that ought to give him some
weight, and in addition his length of
service exceeds that of Sherman by sew
eral terms. 1t will be an interesting
contest and there will be nothing like
it in any other State delegation"

Two Instead of One.

Northumberland, Columbia, and Mon
tour counties, which. with Sullivan, form
one Congress district in Peunsyl-
vania that usually is Democratic, are in
the throes of campaign for the cleo
tion of two Congressman instead of one
one for a short term to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Rufus K. Polk,
and the other for the regular term. The
rivals for the long term are Frederick
A. Godcharles. Republican, and Charles
H. Dickerman, Democrat. Godcharles
ard Dickerman reside in the same ward
in Milton. Northumberland county, and
attend the same church. Godcharles
was a member OF the last Legislature.
and he. is spoken of by his supporters
as having "a good anti-Quay record
whatever that means. He is q nail
manufacturer. Dickerman was a car
manufacturer until his concern was alb
sorbed by the trust. The Republican
candidate for the short term Is W. X.
Lord, of Northumberland. and the Dem
ocratic candidate is Alexander Bill
meyer, OF Montour The prospects seem
to favor the Democratic candidate for
the short term and the Republican for
the regular term.

The critics and the public we're unani-
nous in declaring that never has Ameri-
ca heard the opera "Cavelleria Rusti-
cana" until performed under the per-
sonal direction Of the composer. Here
tofore the work has simply been the
means of exploiting Emma Calye. In
the Mascagni organization there Is no
such thing as "star'-or it would be
better to say they are all stars. Mas
cagni personally selected the principal
singers from the best italian opera
houses abroad. with view to securing
perfect ensemble. That this has been
accomplished Is certainty. To him the
orchestra and chorus are of Just as
great Importance as the leading So
Drano.
The Mascagni company is advertised
as numbering 100, which ordinarily would
be taken as meaning eighty. AS a mat
ter OF fact. the company pays for 1876
railroad fares. The orchestra, by actual
count, number seventy-two pieces, al
though in many theaters it has been
found impossible to place more than
sixty in the pit. The chorus Is said to
be very large. There is also a good
sized ballet. The operas will be sung
here with the following casts:
