YESTERDAY'S MARKETS.
The local markets were active but weaker.
At Milwaukee wheat declined £{c and at Chicago
Tic January corn was Jic higher and oats He
lower. Pork was 22c off. Stocks opened strong
and generally higher but closed weaker and irreg-
ular. St. Paul was H, Omaha 14 and Northern
Pacific preferred yt higher than on Wednesday
close. Oregon Transcontinental was If and
Western Union M per cent, lower. Northwest-
ern closed steady.
Brooklyn, the second largest city of the

evening field Its Eagle is without a peer in all
the elements of a complete newspaper, and
besides is politically Democrat...
St. Paul seems to have been about two
years ahead of the venerable city of Detroit,
as the Free Press cf Wednesday commends
the "patrol wagon system, which has been
in operatlo n less than a week.
Since the Minneapolis Tribune has changed
bands it is wiping out the circulation of the
Pioneer Press in that city. The P. P. will
have to make another big attack on St. Paul,
hoping to save its little remnant of* circula-
tion in Minneapolis by so doing.

A New York city paper makes a state-
ment upon the condition prevailing in that
town, which makes the suggestion pertinent
that it is a good place to give a wide berth: .
There is an unusual batch of domestic infeli-
city in the news columns to-day, which shows
that now the excitement of politics is abating.
men are settling down to the normal work of
deceiving and beating their wives.
It is noted that tbe reassembling of con-
gress was characterized by a quiet and
thoughtful demeanor that seems never be
fore to have been observed on similar occa
sions. It is to be hoped that this may be
taken as an indication of the temper that
may pervade the entire session.
and if the next three months show
steady attention to necessary busi
ness, without buncombe or the introduction
of side' issues for political effect merely, the
country will bo truly grateful and with good
reason. ",'-'..'j-
Judge Baxter, who is on the United
States circuit court bench in Ohio, has made
a ruling that it is useless to bring a cloud of
witnesses to prove a fact that a prisoner is
willing to admit. This judge is sometimes
deemed hard and severe in his judicial de
meanor, and he is a terror to evil doers, who
find his searching methods very disagreea
ble, but probably the Interests of justice lose
nothing by occasionally having such a man
holding the scales. He cuts through the red
tape and yerblaee of law practice in a way
that makes tbe lawyers on the wrong side of
the ease fancy that life is a great burden,
and all understand that no tricks are to be
played in his court. .
Francis D. Moultox, the "mutual friend"
In the celebrated Beecher-Tilton case, died
In Brooklyn Wednesday evening, at the agi
st forty-sir years. He was a college mate of
Theodore Tilton's, and for four years kept
the scandal suppressed, but when Tilton
JO-ld no longer be kept silent Moulton
.■spoused the cause of his friend. This was
Jhlvalrlc but very damaging to his business,
ind he paid the penalty by narrowly escap
ing bankruptcy. His business partner left
lira and took the agency of a salt company.
rle was present at the cattle convention in
?t. Louis a week or ten days a_o, , and his
leatk was sudden. Mr. Beecber will not be
likely to send his regrets.
Considerable pains has been taken since
the November election by the fellows who
Invent spooks and wish to create a disturb
ance to talk as if the Democratic party would
proceed at once to wipe out the National
banks, as with a sponge. The New York
Tribune has actually assumed that congress
bas passed such a law, and plalu lively calls
on Arthur to stop it with a veto. Such stuff
is all moonshine, and hazy at that. Instead
of possessing any inclination to impair the
functions 01 the National banking system.
the House committee on Banking •_"- Cur
rency are pushing . forward a bill which al-
lows National banks to Issue circulation to
the par value of ' tbe bonds deposited as se-
curity. Among others who favor the propo-
sition are the President, the Secretary of the
Treasury and Comptroller of the Currency.
Wbca the bill reaches the ■ President let him
l it if he dare.

concluded that be would rather serve out hi*
term in the -en ale than take a cabinet position. .
We have no do-jht that this also •_«-• the wirbe*
'of President Cleveland. - /
The foregoing from a Minnesota RepublL
can daily is a sample of the feeble wit em-
ployed to sneer at gentlemen of the opposing
party. Long before Gov. Cleveland was
nominated Mr. Payne said that nothing
could induce or tempt bim to surrender his
senatorahip, not even the Presidency, for
which be was^most favorably and influen-
tial!}' mentioned. On account of bis ability
and Integrity the eminent statesman is made
a shining mark for the small-fry jibes of the
opposition. Mr. Cleveland couldn't afford
to have him hi his cabinet and lose the '
strength he will be to him in the Senate.
IIOXOHS TO A CAS A DI. IX STATES-
MAX. .
Sir John Mar don aid, tbe Premier of tbe
Canadian Dominion, who his. been some
weeks in England, was, on the 2'*.t.i ult. in-
vested with tbe OrJer of the B_th by . her
Majesty the Queen. In the evening of that
day, Sir John was entertained by th*. Empire
Cab in London at a magnificent banquet.
The Marquis of Lome presided and there
was a most distinguished gather of states-
men and members of the nobility present.
The Marquis gracefully referred to his pleas-
aut residence in Canada, es Governor-Gen-
eral of that colony, and proposed the health
in most complimentary terms of tbe gentle-
man who had that day been invested with
tbe Order of the Bath bv the Queen. "
Sir John M-cdonak] in rep'.ying referred
to the many honors which had been conferred
upon him during his star in England, and
tbauked those present in tiie warmest man-
ner for the enthusiastic way in whf-rh ..is
health had been drunk, which he cousidered
more an honor to the great Dominion he re-
presented thau to himself. He reviewed «be
forty years of bis public life In Canada, and
said tbat whether he addressed audiences In
the backwoods or in tin- cities of the Dom-
inion, the sentiment of loyalty to England
was always welcomed by his hearers. Can-
ada, be said, would always, of its own will,
remain in close connection with Great
Britain, but be thought it was obvious that
there should be a closer connection between
the Mother Country an her colony across
the Atlantic. II.- considered that the propo-
sal for a direct representation of the Domin-
ion in the British House of Common- is en-
tirely impracticable. The speech was listened
to with the closest attention, and was greeted
with hearty applause
Sir John seems to be a great favorite in
royal circles and among the nobility of Eng-
land. It has been hinted that be may be
raised to be a peer of the realm. Sir John is i
justly noted as one of the ablest statesmen
of the present time.
PEXSIOXI ii ii * X. GRANT.
The proposition to bestow a pension of 95,-
000 a year upon Gen. Grant ought not to be
received with favor, Be does not deserve it.
There is nothing in bis character or achieve-
ments that entitle him to it. He has been
largely the recipient of national gratitude
because he happened to be in at the fall of
the rebellion. We say happened, because the
way Lad been pared for the defeat of the
revolt. by abler organizing and disciplin-
ing Generals than himself, who preceded him
in the command of the army of the Potomac,
and whose battles especially at Antietam and
Gettysburg, weakened and prepared the re-
bellion for its final collapse.
Those bloody battles in the ••Wilderness"
in rapid succession, need not have been
fought, and such an immense sacrifice of
human life incurred. Had the Fabian policy
of Washington, in the battles of the Revolu-
tion been adopted, and a little more time
been permitted to do its work, the rebellion
would have come to an end by inanition; it
would have fallen by its own inherent weak-
ness. But Grant hastened the end by multi-
plying bloody battle fields; constantly calling
on President Lincoln for relays of troops to
fill up the ranks of the slain. He literally
waded through an ocean of blood to clutch
the great fame of being the conqueror of the
rebellion.
Gen. Lee in bis forlorn hope displayed far
greater military skill and generalship than
did Grant, who triumphed by the sheer
weight of numbers and unlimited military re-
sources, more than by superior military tactics
and generalship. Thousands of brave Union
soldiers were left dead on the ghastly battle-
fields of tbe Wilderness. who might have been
alive to-day, bad their commanding General
resorted to skillful, patient. military strategy,
Instead of pressing the rebellion rapidly to
the wall by brute force. ':.•»/
The day of sycophantic praise will pass
by, is, indeed, rapidly receding. The true*
history of the rebellion and its final over-
throw is yet to be written. When the war
generation shall have passed away, wben
passion and partisan heat shall have cooled.
when personal sycophancy shall have ceased,
then the stern Muse of history with her im-
partial, iron pen, with severe, but just dis-
crimination will make up the record of the
battles of the Wilderness, as of all the other
events of the civil war and commendation and
condemnation will be awarded in due meas
ure where they are due. Heroes now in ob-
scurity will be brought to the public gaze.
while the reputation of the overpraised will
shrivel away into comparatively insignifi-
cant proportions
When the rebellion closed, Grant was made
General of the Army, with a large annual
compensation, a position which he might
have occupied during the whole remainder
of bis natural life. Why did he leave that
position ! He was beset by political cormo-
rants, aud adventurers, who wished to trade
and profit, on bis' suddenly acquired fame, -
and they fired his ambition to become Presi-
dent. They appealed to his mercenary na-
ture, the surest way to gain bis acqulescl-
ence, and promised to have the president's
salary doubled. Tbe attempt, .was made, but
tailed before his first term, but was carried
through before his second term. When notu
inated for the Presidency, be had not a single
attribute of scholarly attainment, or expe- i
rience as a statesman, and be has none now.
/With his administration commenced the
great corruption aud decadence oi the Repub-
lican party. The appointment of bis first- !
cabinet showed bis in apicity, and excited '
the derisive condemnation of all parties, and '
especially that of the party which placet him
in power. Ho surrounded himself, with job-
bers of the Belknap, Babcock stripe, and cor- i
ruptiouists had bis ear to the end of his -
official life. His base attempt to clutch a '
third term baa covered him with ineffable !
disgrace. ".
He was the willing receiver of.' presents,of
large and small value He gladly took what-
ever was offered, a gold-dieaded-canc. a horse
or _ house. lie retired from the Presidency <
rich, by the grace of his wealthy, sycophantic'
admirers. _B_9
Greedy of gain he became the head of a

and he and his sons have piled up fortunes i

his firm were making were not - legitimate— *

*
Proved to Be a SbeeD In Wolfs Cloth-
Proved to Be a She*»o in Wolfs Cltttt
toff, tor Hi Is a Thief.
So the Court Ordered Him to the Baatlle fot
Thirty Days.
Lowell the officer, had a little lamb, but ii
was not a» gentle as Mary's mutton of _*,<>_]
tin- port has sang so sweetly. It was not
tl.-t kind of a iamb as it only bad two feel
and it didn't wear any wool to speak of, ex-
cepting in its hand-me-down excuse for an
overcoat. Lowell's lamb bad a front name
called Eddie and it followed him into the but
pen yesterday on the charge of larceny.
Little Ei.lii.-_ Lamb is oniy about ti.tien
years old aud lie was up for stealing a pair
of Him. from la front of a shoe store on
Wabasha- street. When arraigned yesterday,
he said that two little boys bad stolen tut
gaiters and mad.- bim a present of th-m.
The court said it was a little thin, and Eddie
was sent to the bastil. for thirty days.
James Caster is a disgrace to the Illus-
rlous name be bears. Last Sat-
urday night he pried a window
op' n at the lur store of M-thaney, mi A
Co., on Jackson street, and walked off wit*
fifteen seal skin caps of the value of f . each.
He "soaked" one. of the caps, but what be
aid with the others Is still I mystery.
Detective Dan O'Connor gobbled him iu
Minneapolis, and when arraigned yesterday
he looked like a common tramp and luncu
fiend, just what he Is. The court asked him
If be wanted a bearing, when he
snapped his finger and said be would waive
examination. He was committed in default
o^ $2,000 bail.
Ed Murray, Dave n.ar and Mike Burke, a
trio of chronic bums who have been rip*
enough to pick since last grass, were up on
the charge of vagrancy. They work the luncb
routes for booze during the day and at night-
fall they seek lodging at the tower.
Murray and Hoar went out for sixty days
Burke was retired for one moon. .*•"
John Norton, of th. St. Paul Ice company.

AllUSK-lESrS.
Cork Opera.
When tbe curtain rose on tbe introductory
Wben the curtain rose on tbe Introductory
overture last night, the exponents of burnt
cork fun who make up the crescent in Bar-
low &, Wilson's Minstrel company must have
been flattered by the immense audience be-
fore them.
The theater was almost literally filled from
pit to dome, while several young ideas might
have been seen clinging to the skin of their
teeth as it were, to the gallery rail.
There is something about a first class
minstrel sbow that makes it draw equally as
well as a grand opera or a plaster, and such
a show was presented by this company last
night. The audience laughed and howled
itself hoarse at the songs, puns, witticisms
and jokes, and by the. way there was scarcely
an antiquated or galvanized "chestnut" in
the whole performance. The puns and jokes
are evidently of the new crop, most of them
having been just picked from tbe
fertile soil of this sort of comedy.
The opening ensemble was very large and
tidy, as Hughey Dougherty would say in his
double-loaded sort of a way, and, by the by,
we remember Hughey as a* crack member of
Carncross & Dixey's superb show in the
Quaker City in the golden days of our mild
aud hopeful youth, wben the top perch of our
soaring ambition was to achieve twentv-tive
cents wherewith to entitle us to a seat with
the gods, and yet be seems just as young and
merry as ever, having lost none of his magic
power to please.
As said the ensemble was fine, comprising
no less than five boues and as many Umbos,
besides the Interlocutor and vocalists. A
[.leasing feature of the first part was the
novel manner in which the end men alter
nated. Interspersed with the jokes, puns,
etc., were several comic songs and ballads,
rendered in excellent manner by the fine
vocal talent of the company, the songs of
Messrs. Hall, Dougherty, Rankin, Barlow,
Wilson and Woods all being well received.
Among the most ' grotesque and amusing
features of the 6how was the roller skating
rink sketch, a side splitting act which nearly-
raised the roof of the bouse, the lau. titer
rolling up like a whirlwind. Mr. E. M. Hall
is the prince of banjo performers, and bis
playing last night was both artistic and amus-
ing. . His imitation of the Jersey mosquito
caught them all. Mtssts. Grilliin
and Marks distinguished themselves as
being the best acrobats ever seen In St.
Paul, and Geo. Wilson who followed in bis
crazy quilt act paralyzed the audience. Craw-
ford and McKirson and their four ace fiuale
are up to the highest note., in their busi
ness. Griffin and Marks filling tbe band in
great shape. Hughey Dougherty made a daisy
stump speech on the vicissitudes of m,. aud
the musical performance following by Messrs.
Rankin, Adams and Casey laid clear over
the deck.
The entertainment wound up with a highly
laughable burlesque sketch entitled "Feed-
Dora," being a parody on Fanny Daven
port's play of this name. It was a good per
formance all the way through and it will be
repeated to-night. A ladies matinee will be
given to-morrow.

A DISAPPOINTED MOB.
Sclputb Springs, Tex., D.c. 4.— About 2
o'clock this morning a masked mob of 100
men surrounded the jail and demanded the
sheriff to deliver Newton Albrooks, a mu-
latto implicated in the murderous ssault on
Frank Jones and wife a few nights since.
Sheriff Smith appeared and delivered th«* key
to the ringleader oi tbe posse. They searched
the jail but the bird had flown. Tbe sheriff,
anticipating tbe visit, bad secretly sent the
prisoner to a neighboring town. Perry
Reilly, a partner of Albrooks in tbe crime,
had been taken from the sheriff on the way
to the jail and lynched.
The Wisconsin Central Invited In.
(Special Tele-ram to tbe Globe. |
Cnic__o,D_c. 4 — A meeting of the North-
western Traffic association will be held next
week at Commissioner Carman's office. It is
understood that the prime object of tbe meet-
ing is the aeration of a new and highly
important problem presented in the Wiscon-
sin Central. This road is now
nearly completed to St. Paul, and will be
ready for business by tbe beginning of
the new year. The Wisconsin Central will
furnish really tbe shortest route between
Chicago and St. Paul and eannot avoid de-
veloping into a formidable competition of
lines iu Mr. Carman's pool. New lines are
very prone to 'provoke a lively rate war in
order to get thoroughly advertised. ; The old
northwestern • lines fear such a denou-
ment, and have undertaken to forestall it by
instructing the commissioner to invite the
Wisconsin Central to come within the pool
fold. With the railroads' all over the coun-
try so b.rd pressed, it is believed tbat the
new comer will derm it judicious to accept
the invitation and thus avoid a war. The
commissioner will probably be ready io sub-
mit the Central's reply at the approaching
meeting. .

Hendricks and the Soldier*.
. -Isduxatous, Ind., Dec. 4.— A delegation
| representing tbe Marion county Democratic
Soldiers and Sailors Veteran association,
; called on the rice president elect, Hendricks.
Ibis evening and tendered him their con-
gratulations on tbe result of the recent elec-
tion. In response, addressing the spokes-
man of the parly. Mr. Hendricks said:
I am very much gratified that you have been
j made the medium by your "comrades of
; expressing to me tbe sentiments of your own
. speech, and of the address of your assoeia
i Uoa. You would distrust my sincerity did 1
I say tbat I am not grateful at the honor you
J have done me, and congralulations from you
j and your comrades are specially gratifying
: wben I consider the fact that you and I
shared, in the contest of last summer, th*-
greatest political contest our country .Merer
known, with success. We have come from
tbat field of contest sharing . In its
responsibilities and its glorias. Ton have re
i ferred to a characteristic of the contest Which
, I hope will never be repeated in our country.
The personal attacks and slanders that have
been indulged in are unworthy of American
politics. I have not troubled to answer the
misrepresentations to which I have been
subjected. Four times these fabrication*
I b_*e been before the people of Indiana, aud
four times they have given them tbe lie. As
; to these fabrications I have not
turned to the right nor to the left, and will now
but britfly report them. During the first mouth
of the war I found It necessary to coerret
one of the misrepresentations at that time,
and I us« t!i>- to I .wing language:
"Since the war commenced I "have uni-
formly said that the authority Of tbe govern-
mi-nt of the United Stales is not questioned
In Iodiaua. and I regard it as the duty of
the citizens of Indiana to respect and main-
tain that authority, and to give to the gov-
ernment lion. and earnest support in the
prosecution of the vi till iB the providence
of God it may be brought to an honor-
able conclusion and the blessing of peace
be restored to our country. Postponing
until tbat time all controversies in relation
to.the cases and responsibilities of the war.
No man will feel a deeper so.icituue in tbe
welfare and proud' bearing of the Indiana
soldiery- in the conflict of arm* to which they
are called than myself."
The sentiments "thus expressed guided my
conduct throughout the war. One of th.-
political leaders of {he. times has charged
that I failed in duty In opposing the law for
a draft. To opposition to the draft I plead
guilty. I found the army of volunteers en-
couraged by suitable bounties, and during
the first months of my service in the United
States senate I said:
"I desire to express the opinion that con-
gress ought to encourage volunteering rather
than rely upon what If necessity must be an
unpopular measure of the government, the
draft." ' c . "
I did not regard the draft as reliable sup-
port for tbe array. Prior to that time 125,-
000 men had been drafted, 6,000 entered th
service under the draft, 10,000 substitutes
furnished and 20,000 were induced to
were volunteer by bounties which comrauta-
tations enabled the department to pay
A draft of 125,000 resulted in 36.000 soldiers
in the field. I believed then and have be-
lieved ever since tbat volunteers encouraged
by suitable bounties, relieving them from
anxieties about provision for their homes.
was the best assurance of support to the
army. The same politician to wbom I have
referred, speaking of himself, said: "He did
not vote in favor of any measure thHt looked
to carrying on the war." I
will refer to . but two acts
in the senate In answer. On the 23d of
April, 1SS4, I offered an amendment to the
army appropriation bill to Increase the pay
of soldiers and non-commissioned officers
reasonably In proportion to the depreciated
condition of the currency. I though!
that tbe proposition was an encouragement'
to the army, and to enlistment. My col-
league. Col. Lane, voted with me on that
subject. On the same day I voted for a
great appropriation bill for "the army for the
coming year. I believe it was the largest
appropriation bill ' ever passed In tin-
government. Five hundred and
thirty millions, I believe it» was,
and it was an. appropriation that
carried the army to the close of the war,
under which many battles were fought, under
which* Sherman marched to the sea, and the
surrendt r was made to Grant.
Mr. Hendricks closed by returning his
thanks for the call. Tbe delegation then
shook bands with . the vice nt-elect
and social courtesies were exchanged.
Cleveland Interviewed.
New Yobs, Dec. 4.— A Washington
special to the evening Pott says: A promi
nent Democratic member of congress, who
bas recently visited Gov. Cleveland, says tbe
latter said to him : •
"I intend to resign on the 6th of January,
and as Lieut. Gov. Hill will administer th.
executive for the next year, I have turned
the writing of the message over to him.
After laying down the duties of governor
shall listen to whatever my Democratic
friends have to say. I shall divide
my time between Albany and Buf
falo until Up time arrives to
go to Washington. I Intend to
give due consideration to the counsel of my
own party friends. It may be tbat when I en
ter the presidential office some things may not
move as fast as some Democrats may wish,
but I think it will be better to go slow and be .
sure. We cannot hope to avoid mistakes,
but tf we proced slowly we will make fewer
mistakes than if we go with a rush."
Tbe member of congress with wbom Cleve
land talked says tbe governor will become
president without any ambition for a second
term. That be holds to a second term
principle laid down in bis letter of accept
ance, and declared that bis great object is
to so administer the . government as to lay I |
the foundation of a long con
tinued Democratic rule. Gov. Cleveland
spoke to his visitor of the efforts of certain
hotels in Washington to use him for adver
tising purposes by offering hi in their hospi
talities free of charge, and emphatically
declared be would not stop at any hotel that
sought to get him as a guest. The .governor
in.-i-enUllv alluded to the report of a quarrel
between him and Hendricks, saying that
they did* not in their conversation discuss
politics and that two men never parted more
pleasantly. This congressman drew from
bis conversation with Cleveland that the lat
ter has not yet made up bis mind in regard
to a single cabinet - appointment. He Is de
ferring these matters until be retires from
the governorship.
Gov. Cleveland and the Actors. .
New Turk. Dec 4 .—The^ actors' • f rind
benefit at the Academy of Music this after
noon was one of tbe most successful affairs
that ever occurred in New York. Much of
the eclat belonging to It was, of course, due
to tbe presence of. Gov. Cleveland^ who on
ibis occasion attended a public entertain
ment for the first time since bis election to
the presidency. The vast auditorium was
literally packed. Hundreds - of the persons
who entered the lobby were only able to get
rithia six feet of the inner doors. Every
iheatrical person of 'eminence In the town
iccrired'a' box. President-elect Cleveland' •
lad a cordial welcome at every station ' be
iweeri Albany and ". New York. - .The : presi- f
lent, of the Actors' association and Mayor
I tori - arid Mayor-elect Grace, "•' and a
:t.at throng - of people received
Cleveland at the depot. His welcome In the
academy was of the wildest kind. The pres-
ident expressed a wish to meet the artists
gaged in the several . performances. Joe
: Jefferson, however, had then left for Phila-
delphia and Irving and Miss Terry bad gone
to their hotel. The committeemen drove
hot haste to tbe Breroort home, and as
quickly returned with Irvine, who was pre-
I sented to the president-elect and was warmly
I grasped by both hands. Cleveland expressed
I regret at not meeting Miss Terry and Jeffer-
I son. He returned to Albany at 5 o'clock.
I The police guarded Cleveland's box during
I bis stay in the academy, preventing the en-
try of either politiei ins or interviewers. The
dav's proceeds for the benefit of the actors'
fund was 110,000.

'Special Telegram to the Globe. I
New York, Dec. 4. — The conference of
the Republican politicians who favor Presi-
dent Arthur for the New York ."orsbip
continued its session to-.iay. Most of those
: in attendance are politicians of tbe old stal-
wart stripe and still have a strong hold on
1 their party in the respective localities. They
j are anxious to elect President Arthur United
States senator, and they are divided in opin-
] ion as to whether bis elec-
! tion can best be accomplished
I by furling a banner with Arthur
for senator upon it or placing Jos. D. War-
ren in tbe tield and throwing their strength
j for him until the frier. of Morton or some
of the other candidates are ready to com-
Dromise by going over to President Arthur.
i Gen. Sharpe and Editor Kisselberg, of Troy,
insisted in the conference that President
Arthur should be placed in the Seid as a can-
didate and the fi-i.t made under his colors.
They believe that if they could win at all It
would be in this form. Congressman
Burleigh, Collector Smart, A. S. Draper,
John M. Daviea and others present all wanted
Arthur fleeted, but thought it Impolitic to
place nim in th" field at present. To make
him tb^r candidate while Mr. Arthur was
performing the duties of president and then
hare hitu defeated would in their judgment
be ruinous politically to Mr. Arthur. The
conference finally came to the conclusion
that President Arthur ought to be
consulted and his wishes ascertained. It ended
with the understanding that Chairman War-
ren would start at once for Washington
and have a full understanding with the presi-
dent as to bis desires. Mr. Warren leaves
to-night, and while there Intends to ascer-
tain how far Seuator Warner Miller will
assist in the contest for Arthur. Senator
Miller and bis factotum, John W. Vrooman,
are understood to be ready to enter
Into any arrangement which will
promise to recover the stalwart v.. in this
state for Miller's re-election to the senate two
years hence. This may enable Mr. Warn
to make arrangements while in Washington
to place Mr. Arthur in the tield, backed by the
stalwarts aud Warner Miller. The confer-
ence of Mr. Arthur's stalwart friends in the
meantime stands adjourned, awaiting War-
ren's return from Washington with the re-
sult of bis trip.
WHAT THE ••JOURNAL" KNOWS.
Albany, Dec. 4. — The eveniug Journal
says: It appears that Boo. James D. Warren
is in the race for tbe senatorshlp. The sig-
nificance of this is that it takes President
Arthur out of the controversy, in person at
least, for whether Warren is to serve as his
proxy is not revealed. This Is another mani-
festation of the wise and conservative action
of President Arthur. The unseemly spec
tacle of the president of the United States
engaging in a hot contest lor the senator-
ship from bis state would not be edifying or
pleasant. At present the outlook is that
Morton, Evarts, Depew, Warren, Hls-
cock and Russell will be all in
the list when the legislature meets.
with some of the strongest old stalwart- and
half breeds on Morton's side, a stronger fol-
lowing lor Depen than expected, an obed-
ient corps led by Wattes, If be decides to re-
main .In race, and the remainder scattered
between the other three candidates. If the
fight becomes bitter Evarts will be the most
available man upon whom -t majority can unite
If the tight is earnest, but uot embittered by-
personal feeling, a anion on Morton or
Depew Is not Improbable, but it will not be
wise to leave out of calculations either His-
cock or Russell.
CARErULLT PREARRANGED ACCIDENT.
New York, Dec. 4. Chairman Warren, of
the Republican state comtuittcee, and An-
drew S. Draper, chairman of the executive
committee, are still at the Gilsey bouse.
According to a statement of Mr. Draper last
night's conference was purely accidental,
and at least a dozen gentlemen whose names
appear in the morning papers as having
attended it were not present. He adds:
'•There has been a very general feeling in
the western part of the state that the sena-
bimbip should be given to Mr. Warren, and
there is also a very kindly feeling toward
mm in all parts of the state. President
Arthur, I understand, Is entirely indifferent
in the matter." To-day ex-Senator Piatt,
Congressman Burleigh and others of those
at the conference friendly to Levi P. Mor-
ton's candidacy, met in an office down town
an.1 bad a secret caucus. Con -ling was in
tbe Gilsey house during the conference.
Postmaster General Mutton has £ lis Hands
hr lull.
Washington, Dec. 4. — The delegates rep-
resents- clerks of post offices throughout
the country to-day called upon Postmaster
General Ilatton to lay before him a proposi-
tion to classify post office clerks and place
them on an equality with clerks in other
branches of the government service. The
delegates brought with them the draft of a
bill intended to secure those results, and the
postmaster general suggested they cause a
bill to be introduced in congress, when he
would pass an opinion upon its merits. To
tbe representatives of tbe Philadelphia leteer
carriers whe seek to secure the benefits of the
eight hour law, Hattor. to-day formally re-
sponded that the department "never held the
eight hour law applied to letter carriers, and
without considering the legal aspect of the
case, he was of the opinion the department
could not move in the matter without a clear
definition of the act by congress.

to their constitution declaring: [lie funda-
mental test of the right of any person to be

Other amendments were adopted, when it
was discovered that so many members had

Jiesalied, That in the existing depressed
condition of the Industrial interests of tin
couutry, aud in the great fall which has

wages of labor and price of products of
farms, workshops and mines, the recom-
mendations of the president and the secre-
tary of the treasury that the coinage of
silver dollars and the issue of silver certifi-
cates be prohibited, are calculated to create
alarm and thereby aggravate the
difficulties of the situation, and
that to the end that the public

Mr. Anderson supported the Reagan sub-
stitute, contending it would furnish the peo-
ple substantial protection against the extor-
tion of the railroad companies, though be did
not think its provisions stringent enough.
He doubted whether they would be effectual
In preventing the system of pooling, which
practically placed the producers of the coun-
try at the mercy of Gould, Vander-
bllt and Huntington. If the at
tempts so successfully made hereto-
fore by railroad capitalists should
prevent legislation in the states.in this house
or In the senate, If they should enter the
supreme court to prevent just legislation the
people would damn them. Capital would
then be brought face to face not with the
thinking men of the country, but witb a mob.
Capital itself had more at stake in securing
equitable railroad legislation than the farm"
ers and producers had.
Mr. Shlvcly.of Indiana. Calkins' successor,
announced bis emphatic approval of the ob-
ject sought to be attained by the pending
bill and the Reagan substitute, and
his equally emphatic approval ol
the substitute as compared with
the measure reported by the committee. He
doubted the propriety of creating a commis-
sion and conferring upon it power as great
as that exercised by the greatest despot on
earth, and he pointed out the danger that
would surely follow the concentration of that
power In a few men.
Mr. Hopkins submitted a constitutional
argument upon the power of congress to leg-
islate upon the subject of Inter-state com-
merce, maintaining the affirmative proposi-
tion, and proceeded to detail the evils which
the measure now pending was designed to
