Tho Capitol was crowded thin morning for on hour beforo Con gress met. Tho Senate immediately after it was called to order, on motion of Mr. Hoar took a roccBs for half an hour to await tho President's message. Tho House met at 13.20 and took a recess of twenty minutes to await the President's message To At Congritt 0 U Uutltd Statu t Ton are confronted at the threshold of your Ice illative duties with a condition of tbo national flnanoca which imperatively demands Immediate and careful consideration. The amount of money annually ozaetod, through the operation of present lairs, from the Industries and necessities of tho people, largely ezceeda tho sum necessary to meet the expenses of tbo Govern ment. When we consider that tho theory of our Institu tions guarantiee to every citizen the full enjoyment of all tee traits of his Industry and enterprise, with only suoh deduction aa may bo his shore to wards the careful and economical maintenance of tho Government which protects him. It Is plain that the exaction of more than this Is Indefensible extortion and a culpable betrayal ol American fair ness and Justice. This wrong Inflicted upon those who bear tho bnrden of nstlonal tax ution, like other wrongs, multiplies a brood of evil consequences. The publlo Treasury which should only exist as a conduit conveying the peo ple's tribute to Its legitimate objeota of expendi ture, becomes a hoardlug-place for money need lessly withdrawn from traue and the people's use, thui crippling our national energies, suspending our country's development, preventing investment In productive enterprise, threatening-financial dis tnroanoe, and lnvltiog schsmes of publlo plunder. This condition of our Treasury la not altogether new; and tt has more than once of late been sub milted to the people's representatives In the Con gress, who alone oan apply a remedy. And yet tho situation silll continues, with aggravated Inci dents, more than ever presaging nnanolol convul sion and wide-spread disaster. ACT BKFOBB DISASTER COMKB. It will not do to neglect this situation because Its dangers are not now palpably Imminent and ap parent. They exist none the less certainly, and await the unforeseen and unexpected occasion when suddenly they will be precipitated upon us. On the Both day of Juno, lass, theoxceiaof revenues over publlo expenditures after complying with the annual requirement of the sinking Fund act, was $11,855, 783. 8-1; during the yoar ended June 80, IBM. such excess amounted to $49, 403, Sis. go, and during the year endod June SO, 1687. it reached the sum Of 155,667,849.54. The anneal contributions to the sinking fund dur ing the three yesrs above specified, amonnttng in the aggregate to $133,053,820.94, and deducted from the surplus as stated, were made by colling In for that purpose outstanding three per cent, bonds of the Government. During the six months prior to June 80, 1887. the surplus revenue bsd grown so largo by repeated accumulations, and It was feared the withdrawal of this great Bum of money needed by the people would so affect the business of tho country trial the sum of t7V,&04, loo of such surplus was applied to the payment of the principal and interest of the three per cent, bonds still outstand ing, snd which were then payable at the option of the Government. The precarious condition of financial affairs among the people still needing relief, immediately after the 80th day of June, 1637, the remainder of the 8 per cent, bonds then outstanding, amounting with principal and Interest to the sum of 118,877.600. were called in and applied to the sinking fund contribution for the current fiscal year. Notwithstanding these operations of the Treasury Department representa tions of distress in business circles not only con tinued, but Increased, and absolute peril seemed at hand. In these circumstances the contribution to the sinking fund for the current fiscal yesr was at onoe completed by the expenditure of in. 684,283.66 in the purchase of Government bonds not yet due bearing i and 4)f per cent. Interest, tho pre mium paid thereon averaging about u per cent, for the former and 8 per cent, for tho latter. In addition to this the Interest accruing during the current year upon outstanding bonded Indebted ness nf the Government was to some extent antici pated, and banks selected as depositories of publlo money were permitted to somewhat Increase their deposits. while the expedients thus employed, to release to the people the money lying idle In the Treasury, served to avert Immediate .danser, our surplus rovenues have continued to accumulate, the ex cess for the present year amounting on the 1st day of December to $55,258,70110, and estimated to reach the sum of $113,000,000 on thesoth of June next, at which date it is expected that this sum, added to prior accumulations, will swell tho surplus In the Treasury to $140,000,000. VOMIT OSILB88LY SUBTBAOTKD FROM CHANNELS Or TIIADE. There seems to be no assurance that, with such a withdrawal from use of the people's circulating medium, our business community may not in the near future be subjected to the same distress which wss quite lstely produced from the same janso. And while the functions of our Natl nal Treasury should be few and simple, and while lis btst condition would be reached, I believe, by its enl re disconnection with private business Interests, yet when, by a perversion of its purposes, it idly holds money uselessly subtracted from the channels of trade, there seems to be reason for the claim that some legitimate means should bo devised by the uovernment to restore In an emergency, without w,,e or etrsvaganco, such money to its place among the people. If such an emergency arises there now exists no .and undoubted executive power of relief. Heretofore the redemption ol 8 per cent, bonds, whloh were payable at the option of the Govern ment, has afforded a means for the disbursement in MCCM o our revenues, but these bonds have ?r.vn "tired, and there are no bonds outstanding ile..D,J,Ecn' whloh wo have the right to Insist J TnB contribution to the sinking fund which i!,By ooesslou for expenditure la the pur chase of bonds has been already made for the cur ft!

In considering the question of purchasing bonds as a means of restoring to circulation tho surplus money accumulating In the Treasury, It should be borne In mind that premiums must of course bo paid upon such purchase, that there may be a largo part of these bonds held as Investments which can not be purohascd at any prlco, and that combina tions among holders who are willing to sell may unreasonably enhance the cost of such bonds to the Government. It has boen suggested that the present bonded debt might be refunded at a less rate of Interest and the dlffcrcnre between the old and new se curity paid In cash, thus finding use for tho sur ilus In the Treasury. The success of this plan, it s npparent, mast depend npon the volition of the holders of the present bonds; and It is not entirely certain that the Inducement which must bo offered them would result in more financial benefit to the Government than the purchase of bonds, while tho lstter proposition would reduco tho principal of the debt by actual payment, Instead of extend ing it. Tho proposition to deposit the money held by the Government In banks throughout the country for use by the people Is, it seems to me, exceedingly objectionable in principle, as establishing too cloao a relationship between the operations of tho Gov ernment Treasury and the business of the country, and too extensive a comminuting of their money, thns loitering an unnatural rcllinco In private business upon publlo funds. It this scheme should be adopted it should only be done as a temporary expedient to meet an urgent necessity. Legislative and executive effort should generally be In the op posite direction and should have a tendency to di vorce, as mueh and as fast as can aaiely lie done, the Treasury Department from prlvato enterprise. Of course, It Is not expected that unnecessary and extravagant appropriations will be made for the purpose of avoiding tho accumulation of an ex cess of revenue. Such expenditure, besldo the de moralization of all Just conceptions of publlo duty which It entails, stimulates a nabit of reckless Im providence not In tho least consistent with tho mission of our people or the high and beneficent purposes of our Government. TUB SITUATION FBAOOHT WITH DANOEK! I have deemed It mr duty to thus bring to the knowledge of my countrymen, as well as to tho at tention of their representatives charged with the responsibility of legislative relief, the vravlty of onr financial situation. The failure ol the Con gress heretofore to provide against the dangers which it was quite evident trie very nature of tho difficulty must necessarily produce caused a con dition of financial distress and apprehension since your last adjournment which taxed to tho utmost all the authority and expedients within exccutlvo control, and theso appear now to be exhausted. If disaster results from the continued Inaction of Congress, the responsibility must rest where It belongs. Though tho situation thus far considered Is fraught with danger which should be fully real ized, and though It presents features of wronn to the peoplo aa well aa peril to the country, It la but a result growing out of a perfectly palpable and apparent cause, constantly reproducing the same alarming circumstances a convened National Treasury and a depleted monetary condition In tno business of tno country. It need hardly be stated that while the present situation demands a remedy, wo can only be saved from a like predicament In the future by the removal of its cause. Onr scheme of taxation, by means of which this needless surplus IS taken from the people and put Into the publlo Treasury, consists of a tariff or duty levied upon Importations from abroad and internal rovenuo taxes levied npon the consump tion of tobacco and spirituous and milt liquors. It must bo conceded that none of the things sub jected to Internal revenue taxa'lon are, Btrlctly spesklng, necessaries; there appears to bo no Just complaint of this taxation by the consumers of these artlcles,.and there Beems to be nothing bo well able to bear the burden without hardship to any portion of the people. REVISE TOE TARirr LAWS AT ONCE. But our present tariff laws, the vicious, inequi table, and Illogical source of unnecessary taxation ought to be at once revised and amended. These laws, as their primary and plain effect, raise the price to consumers of all articles Imported and sub ject to doty, by precisely tho sum paid for such duties. Thus the amount of the duty measures the tux paid by those who purchase for us 1 these im ported articles, iiany of these things, bow ever, are raised or manufactured In our own country, and tho duties now levied upon foreign goods and producta are called protection to these nome manufactures, because they render tt possible for those of our people whodre manu facturers, to make these taxed articles and sell them for a price equal to tnat demandod for the Imported goods that have paid oustoms doty. So It happens that whllo comparatively a few use the imported articles, millions of our people who never use and never saw any of the foreign prod ucts, purchase and use things of the same kind made in this country, and pay therefor nearly or qulto the same enhanced prlco which the uuty adds to tho Imported articles, 'those who buy Imports pay tho duty charged thereon Into the public Treasury, but the great majority of our citizens who buy domestic articles of the ssme class: pay a sum at least approximately equal to this duty to the home manufacturer. This refer ence to the operation of our tariff laws is not made by way of instruction, but In order that we may be constantly reminded of the manner In whloh they Impose a burden npon those who consume domestic products as well as those who consume lmpoitea articles, and thus create a tax npon all our people. It la not proposed to entirely relieve the country of this taxation. It must be extensively continued ns the source of the Government's Income; and in oj readjustment of our tariff the interests of Ameri can labor engaged in manufacture should be care fully considered, aa well as the preservation of our manufactures. It may be called protection, or by any othtr name, but relief from the hardships and dangers of our present tariff laws should be de vised with especial precaution against imperilling tho existence of onr manufacturing interests. But this existence should not mean a con dition which, without regard to tho publlo weliaro or a national exigency, must always insure the realization of Immense proms Instead of moderately profitable roturna. As the volume and diversion of our nstlonal activities Increase, new recruits are added to those who de sire a continuation of the advantagea which tney conceive the present system of tariff taxation directly affords them. So stubbornly have all efforts to reform the prosent condition been re sisted by those of ourfellow-cltlzens thus engaged, that they can hardly complain of tho suspicion, entertained to a oertaln extent, that there exists an organized combination all along the line to maintain their advantage. CONSUMERS TAXEII BSTOND REASON. We are In the midst of centennial celebrations, and with becoming pride we rejoice in American skill and Ingenuity, In American energy and enter prise and In the wonderful natural advantages and resources developed by a century's national growth. Yet wiieu an attempt la made to Justify a scheme which permit, a tax to be laid upon every consumer In the land lor the benefit of our manu facturers, quite beyond a reasonable demand for governmental regard, it snlts tl.e purposes of advo co y to call our manufactures infant industries .till needing the hluhest and greatest degree of favor and fostering care that can be wrung from Federal legislation. It Is also said that the mere se In tho price of do mestic manufactures resulting from the present tariff Is necessary In order that higher wagea may be paid to our worklngmen employed in manu factories than are paid lor what Is called the pau per labor of Europe. All will acknowledge the force of on argument which Involves the welfare and liberal compensation of our laboring peopie. Our labor Is honorable In the eyes of every Ameri can citizen and as It lies at tho foundation of our development and progress, It Is entitled, without affectation or hypocrisy, to the utmost regard. The stsndsrd of our laborers' life should not be measured by that of any other country :less fa vored, and they are entitled to their full share ol all our advantages. FACTS FOR WAGE-WORKERS. By tho last census It Is made to appear that of the l7,tsv,uW) of our population engaged In all kinds of industries. t,670,43 are employed In agri culture, 4,U74,!83 In professional and personal service (S,vM,674 ol whom are domestlo servants aud laborers), while 1,810, 854 aro employed In trade and transportation and 8,837,118 are classed as employed In manufacturing and mining. For the present purposes, however, tho last number given should do considerably reduced. Without attempting to enumerate all. It will bo conceded that there should be deducted from thoso whloh It Includes 876, 148 carpenters and Joiners, 193,401 milliners, dressmakers, and seamstresses, 178,724 blacksmiths, 133, 764 tailors and talloresses, 101,478 mssous, 76,241, butchers, 41,800 bakers, Boys' nothing. Winter Ofsrooats, Uistws. Can CoiU, Salts and TrouMT, iiswatt patterns, and strlea i moderate pneea. ITiioitBHiLL, Slots h Coaxxu, 746.760 liroadwagr, on dwbslowWhst. V 12,033 plasterers, snd 4,891 engaged In manufac turing agricultural implements, amounting In tho aggregate to 1,814,013, leaving j,fl23,0M persons employed In such manufacturing Industries as aro clalmod to be benefited by a high tariff. To these the appeal Is made to aave their employ ment and maintain their wages by resisting a change. There should he no disposition to answer such suggestions by tho allegation that they are In a minority among thoso who labor, and thcreforo should forego an advantage In tho Interest of low prices for tho majority. Their compensation, aa It may be affected by tho operation of tariff laws, should at all times be scrupulously kept In view, and yet, with slight reflection, tney will not over look the fact that they are consumers with tho rest; that they, too, have their own wants and thoso of their families to supply from their earn ings, and that tho prloe of the neceasarles ol life, as well as the amount of their wages, will regulate tho measure of their welfare and comfort. lllOU TARIFF MAKES NECESSITIES COSTLT. But tho reduction of taxation demanded should bo so measured as not to necessitate or Justify either the loss of employment by the worklnir man nor tho lessening of nls waves and theprollis still remaining to the manufacturer, after a necessary readjustment, should furnish no excuse for the sacrifice of the Interests of his emplojces either in their opportunity to work or In the diminution of their compensation. Nor can the worker in man ufactures fall to understand that while a huh tariff la claimed to be necessary to allow the payment of remunerative wages, It certainly re sults In a very lare lncrcaso In the prlco of nearly all sorts of manufactures, which, in almost count less forms, ho neods tor the nse of Himself and his family, lie recelvos at the desk of nls employer his wages, and perhaps before no reaches his nomo Is obliged. In u ptirchaio for family use of an artkle which embraces his own labor, to retnrn In the payment of tho Increase In price which the tarlfr permits tho hard-earned compensation of many days of toll. A WORD TO FARMERS. The farmer and tho agriculturist who muntifnc turo nothing, but who pay the Increased price which the tariff imposes upon every agricultural Implement, upon all he wears and upon all he uses and owns, except the lncrouse of his docks and herds and snoh things aa his husbandry producea from tho soil, Is invited to aid in maintaining the firesent situation, and he Is told that a high duty on mported wool is necessary for the benefit of those who have sheep to shear. In order that the price of their wool may be Increased. They of course ore not reminded that tho farmer who has no sheep is by this scheme obliged, in his pur chases of clothing and woollen goods, to pay a tribute to his fellow farmer, as well to the manufacturer snd mercha it; nor la any mention made of the f sot that tho sheep-owners tuemselvcs, and their households, must wisr clothing and use other articles manufactured from the wool they sell at tarlfr prices, ami thus as consumers must return their sbaro or this Increased price to ttie trude.man. I think It may be fairly asauined that a large pro portion of the sheep owned by the farmcra through out tho country aro found In small flocks number ing from twenty-rive to fifty. The duty on Ihe grade of Imported wool which these sheep yield, Is 10 cents each pound if of the value of 8u cents or less, am 12 cents If of the value of more than 80 cents. If tho liberal cstlmato of six pounds be allowed for each fleece, tho duly thereon would bo CO or 78 cents, and this may bo taken as the utmost enhancement of its price to the farmer by reason of this duty. Eighteen dollars would ihus represent tbo in creased price of the wool from twenty-five sheep, and $36 that from the wool of fifty sheep; and ut ptesent valjes this addition would amount to about one-tnlrd of Its price. It upon Its sale the farmer recelt cs this or a lees tariff profit, tho wool leaves his hands charged with precisely that sum, which In all Its changes will adhere to It, until It rrauncs the consumer. When manufactured Into cloth and other goods and material for use. Its cost Is not only Increased to the extent of the farmer's tariff profit, but a lur' her sum has been added for the benefit of the manufacturer uuder the operation of other tariff laws. In the mean time the day ar rives when the farmer finds It ntoeBsary to pur chaso woolen goods and material to clothe himself and family for tho winter. When he faces the tradesman for that purpose ho discovers that ho Is obliged not only to return, In the way of Increased prices, his tariff profit on the wool he soM, and which then perhaps lies before him In manufac tured form, but that he must add a considerable sum thereto to meet a further Increase In cost cau.ed bv a tariff duty on the manufacture. Thus In the end he is aroused to the tact that bn has paid upon a moderate purchase, as a result of the tariff scheme, which, when lie sold his wool seemed so profitable, an lncrcaso In price more than sufficient to sweep away all Iho tariff profit he received npon the wool he produced and sold. When the number of farmers engaged m wool raising Is compared with all the farmers In the country, and the small proportion they bear 10 our population Is considered; when it Is made apparent that. In the case of o large part of those who own sheep, the benefit of the present tariff on wool Is illusory; and, above all, whon It must be conceded that the Increase of tho cost of living caused by such tariff becomes a burden upon those with mod erate means and the poor, the employed and un employed, tne sick and well and the young and old, and that It constitutes a tax whleh, with re lentless grasp, la fastened upon the clothing of every man, woman and child In the land, reasons are suggested wuy the removal or redaction of this iiuty should bo Included in a revision of oar tariff laws. COMPETITION STRANGLED BT COMBINATIONS. In speaking of the Increased cost to the con sumer of our homo msnufacturcs, resulting from a duty laid upon imported articles of the same de scription, the fact la not overlooked that competi tion among our domestlo producers sometimes has the effect of keeping the price of tnelr products below the highest limit allowed by such dnty. But It is notorious that this competition Is too often strangled by combinations quite prevalent at this time, and frequently called trusts, which have for their object tho regulation ol the supply aud price of commodities made and sold by members of the combination. The people can hardly hope for any consideration In the operation of these sel fish schemes. If, however, In the absence of such combination, a healthy and free oam petition redoces the price ol any particular dutiable article ol home production below tho limit which It might otherwise reach under our tariff laws, ana if, with such reduced price. Us manufacture continues to thrive It Is entirely evident that one thing has been discovered which should be carefully scrutinized in an effort to reduco taxation. Tho necessity ot combination lo maintain the price of any commodity to the tariff point, furnishes proof that some one Is willing to accept lower juices for suoh commodity, and that such pnoes are re munerative; snd lower prices produced by compe tition prove the same thing. Thus where either of these conditions exist, a case would seem to be pre sented for an easy reduotlon of taxation. REDUCE CUSTOMS DUTIES. The considerations which have been presented touching our tariff laws are Intended only to en force an earnest recommendation that the surplus revenues of the Government be prevented by the reduction of our customs duties, and, at the same time, to emphasize a suggestion that In accomplish ing this purpose we may discharge a double duty to our people by grsnting to them a measure of re lief from tariff taxation In quarters where It is most needed and from aources where tt can be moat fairly aud Justly accorded. Nor can the presentation made of snch con siderations be, with any degree of fairness, re garded aa evidence of unfriendliness toward our manufacturing Interests, or of any lack of appre ciation ot their value and Importance. Theso interests constitute a loading and most substantial element of our national greatness and f urnlah the proud proof of our country'a progress. But If In the emergency that proises upon us our manufacturers are askeu to surrender something for the publlo good and to avert disaster, their patriotism, as well as a grateful recognition of advantages already afforded, should lead them to. willing co-operation. No demand is made that they ahall forego all the benefits of governmental regard; but they cannot fall to be admonished of their duty, as well aa their enlightened self-interest and safety, when they are reminded of the fact that financial panlo and col lapse, to which the present condition tends, afford no greater shelter or protection to our manufac tures than to our other Important enterprises. Opportunity for safe, careful and deliberate reform Is now offered; and none of us should be unmind ful ot a time when an abused and Irritated people, beedlesa of those who have resisted timely and reasonable relief, may Insist upon a radical and aweeplng rectification ot their wrongs. A GREAT TASK FOR CONGRESS. The difficulty attending a wise and fair, revision of our tariff laws Is not underestimated. It will iequlre on the part of the Congi e.s sreat labor and care, and especially a broad aud national contem plation of the subject, and a patriotto disregard of such local and acinsh claims aa are unreasonable and reckless of the welfare ot the entire country. Under our present lawa more than four thousand arilclea are aubject to dnty. Many of these do not In ony way compete with oar own manufactures The World Stands on two pillar, lota and Gharttr. PAnr Pinrr stands on lUnputttiuai to only sar cui for physloal pain. and many aro hardly worth attention as subjects of revenue. A considerable reduction can he made In the aggregate by adding them to the freo list. The taxation of luxuries presents no festures ot hardship, but tho necessaries of lite used and consumed by all the peoplo, the duty upon which adds to the cost of living in every home, should be greatly choapened. The radical reduction of the dtittei Imposed upon raw material used In manufactures, or Its free Im portation, Is of course an important factor In anv effort to reduce the price ol these necessaries; ft would not only relieve them from the Increased eost caused by the tariff on snch material, but the manufactured product being thus cheapened, that part of the tariff now laid upon such product, as a compensation to our manufacturers for the present I rice of raw material, could be accordingly modi fied, such reduotlon, or free Importation, would serve beside to largely reduce tho retenue. It Is not apparent how such a change can have any Injurious effect upon our manufacturers. On tho contrary, it would appear to give thim a better chance in foreign markets with the manufacturers of other countries, who cheapen their wares by freo material. Thus onr peoplo might have tho opportunity ot extending their salea beyond tho llinlta of home consumption saving them from the depression, Interruption In business, and loss caucd by a glutted domestlo market, and afford ing ihelr employees more certain mid steady labor, with Its resulting quiet and contentment. The question thus Imperatively prurntivl for solution should be approached In a spirit higher than partisanship ami considers I In the light of that regard for patriotic duty which should char acterize tho action of thoto Intrusted with the weal of a confiding people. But tho obligation to de clared partv policy and principle Is not wanting to urge prompt and effective action. Both of the great political parties now represented In the Gov ernment have, by repeated and auihorltatho dec larations, condemned the condition ot our laws which permit the collection from the people of un necessary revenue, and have, In the most solemn manner, promised its corrrctton; and neither aa citizens or partisans aro onr countrymen In a mood to condone the deliberate violation of these pledges. A CONDITION, NOT A THEORY. Onr progress towards a wise conclusion will not be Improved by dwelling upon the theories of pro tection and free trade. This savors too much of bandying epithets, it la a condition whloh con fronts us not a theory. Relief from this condition may Involve a alight reduction ot the advantages which we award our homo productions, but the entire withdrawal of such advantages should not be contemplated. The question of freo trade Is absolutely Irrelevant, and the persistent claim made la certain quarters, tnat all efforts to relieve the people from unjust and unnecessary taxation are schomes of so-called free-traders. Is mlschlev ous 11 nd far removed from any consideration for the publlo good. The slinplo and plain dnty which we owe tho peo plo la to reduco taxation to the necessary expenses ot un economical operation of the Government and to restore to the business of the eoontry the money which wo hold In the Treasury through the perversion of governmental powers. Theso things csn and should be dono with safety to all our In dustries, without danger to tho opportunity for remunerative labor which ourworklnumen ncod, and with benefit to them and all our people, by cheapening their means of subsistence and Increas ing tne measure of tnelr comforts. The Constitution provides that the President "shall, from time to time, give to Congress infor mation of the stato of the Union. It has been tho enstom of tho executive, in compliance with this provision, to annually exhibit to Congress at the opening of Its session tno general condition of the country and 10 detail with some particularity the operations of tho different exeoutlve departments. It would be especially agreeable to lollow tnls course at the present tltn" and to rail attention to tho valuablo accomplishments of these de partments during the last fiscal yvar. But I am so much Impressed with the paramount Importance of tho subject to Which this communication has thus far been devoted, that Is iall lorego the addition of any other topic, and only urge upon your Imme diate consideration the ''state of the Union" ss shown In tho presfnt condition of onr Treasury aud our general fiscal situation, npon which every ele ment of our safety and prosperity depends. The reports ot the heads of departments, which will bo submitted, contain full und explicit Infor mation touching the trsnsai Hon of the business In. trusted to them, and such recommendations relat ing to legislation In the public Interest as they deem advisable. I ask for these reports and recommendations the deliberate examination and action of tho legislative branch of the Govern ment. Tnero are other subjects not embraced In the de partmental reports demanding legislative consider ation and which I should be glaa to submit. Some of them, however, have been earnestly presented In previous messages, and as to them, I beg leave to repeat prior recommendations. As the law makes no provision for any report from the Department of State, a brief history of the transactions of that Important department, to- ether with other matters which it may hereafter e deemed essential to commend to the attention of the Congress, may furnish the occaslou for a future communication.

Utile Delict That It Was Used by Wall Street Speculators. A morning pnpor published to-dny n story to the effect that a Washington Btenographor, employed by Col. Danlol Lamont to copy n part of tho President's incs sago, had sold n largo part of the messago to nomo Wall street specula tors, who, on tho strength of tho information thus received, had entered into extensivo speculations in tho common stock of tho Now York. Chicago and St. Louis Railroad, othor wiso known as tho Nickel Plato. This information was obtained from ono Barrett H. Proston, n young man employed in tho brokerage oflico of W. L. Law son A: Co., who professed to havo knowledge of tho ciisteuco of an advance copy of the inessago ill this city, obtained by means of souio Washington stenographer. Mr. l'roston was fonnd by a Would re porter this morning at Lawson Co.'s office, 49 Exchange place. Ho said thnt iho facts as published wcro substantially true, but de clared that he could not say anything moro about tho matter without violating a conn- donco. He admitted, however, that ho did not know positively that a copy of tho Presi dent's message had been Bold to any specu lators in this city, and said that ho had not seen tho copy of which He spoko. Upon further question no also admitted that ho know the namo of the stenographer in Washington who had furniBhod the alleged copy of the messago.but afterwards denied that he know any ono connected with the matter except a stenographer in this city in com munication with the inysterlouB Washington stenographer, and whoso name ho refused to give. After this he refused to talk any more. As regards tho speculators who mndo usoof tho message to speculate in Nickol Plato stock, ho refused to disclose anything, but bald that tho stock was extensively dealt in. An investigation of the stock transactions yesterday, when these big deals woro alleged to have been mado,show that not a single snaro of common stock wns dealt in, and that all tho representations that Nickel Plato had an the list were transactions of forty shares in first and 100 shares of second preferred stock. Tho general opinion of tho street is that tho story has not tho slightost foundation in truth.

Ho has devoted his best efforts to driving this element from his order. As the Federation is gradually assuming an attitudo of rivalry to the Knights, theso are two significant facts that tho intelligent American workingman, who bellovcs in American institutions and American methods, may well bear in mind.

Campbell, of Ilrooklyn, How He Admin latered Itat Poison to Pretty Mary Jnnr Cox Preferring tho Prosper! of Death on the) (tallow to Tortures of Itrmnnw. John J. Dclnnoy, tho confessed murderer of young Mary Jano Cox, who was found dead in her home, 110 Prince street, Brook, lyn, on tho morning of June 3 last, is still locked behind tho bars in Capt. Campbell's station-house. When a World reporter saw him this morn ing his face was worn and haggard. His eyes were sunken in his head, and his whole ap pearance gave evidonco of tho mentalstrug gle that he haB endured since he deliberately gavo the girl he betrayed the poison which she innocently drank and which caused her death. From that timo until the present tho pris oner has had hut little peace of mind. According to his own story, try as ho would, he could not escapo the tortures of remorso. No matter what expedients ho re sorted to, drink or dissipation of any kind, the result was always the same. He could novcr rest. Walking or while at work, awake or asleep, his crime was ever in his thoughts. Ever, as he says in explanation of his sur render, tho spirit of tho murdered girl roue beforo him. Ho saw her just as he left her on that fatal night. There sho sat in the old fushioned kitchon chair which sho was so wont to ocoutiy during his visits. Even tho glass containing tho sediments of tho deadly mixturo seemed at her elbow, and tho faco, which in lifo was always pretty nud happy, appeared beforo him palo, appealing and accusing. In his sleep he saw her. Tho spirit seemed to hover around his bed. Ho would wake in the middle of the night with perspiration rolling down his face, and then the figure would disajMiear. Rut the moment he sought rest it would return and haunt him. This lasted for months. His face become pale and careworn. His companions no ticed the change and wondered at it, as well as at his forced merriment. Then in place of an occasional drink he took many. His position, which ho strove hard to keep, was lost. lie found compan ions in barrooms and among tho Idwest classes, and in thoir midst sought in vain to drown his haunting thoughts. Finally, so desperate did he become that for weeks, according to the statement of a friend of his sister's, the young man never drew a sober breath. Then, when at last the strain seemed unbearable, he determined to acknowledge his guilt. What tho consequences wero, ho did not stop to considor, and last Saturday night ho started for the Adams Btreet pollco station in Brooklyn. Tho confession required moro courage than ho possessed, so he began to drink. With tho extra stimulant his timidity forsook him and at tho station-houso ho grew bold and loft without any explanation of his visit. Sunday came and with it roturnod his re morso. All through tho long hour of that day the spirit of tho dead girl was before him. He says he thought of the consequences of a confession and resolved not to mako ono for fear of the gallow s. But tho longer he thought tho weaker grew his resolution, until Snnday night, with n full knowledgo of tho fact that probably death would bo his punishment, 0 again started for the police station. This time ho did not falter, but explained his connection with tho murdorand told how when tho girl naked him for medicino he deliberately bought rat poison, mixed it with water and without explaining tho nature of the mixture, gave it to the girl, who drank it and died. A great load seemed taken from his mind after making the confession and ho talked rationally. When his statement had been read to him by Capt. Campbell, ho acknowl edged it. Then ho was lookod up. For the first time in five months ho found rest. All Monday ho seemed easy and last night he slept like a top. To-day ho .was perfectly calm. Dolauey is a young man with a smooth and pleasant placo and regular features. Since tho death of his father, who was killed on the Bridge three years ago, and of his mother, who died broken hearted, he has gone to the bad. His brother William is a successful printer and the only sister, Kate, a girl sixteen years old, lives with Mrs. McCabe, on tho corner of Hudson and Park avenues, Brooklyn.

When sho left all tho rnptnro of seeing countless menus dlsappcnr, in fancy, down the Saurinn's vasty throat was dispelled. Homebody who does not let his right hand know what his left doeth had abstracted the umbrella. The umbrella was a cherished stiok. It had an oxidized silver handle and J. C." was delicately gn-vcu on its head. But its great aluo was as a memory. It was the gift of a dead friend. Miss Corson rushed into print. Yesterday evening sho had heard nothing. She then thought that she would try tho Metropolitan Opera-House on a forlorn chauco. You haven't heard of my umbrella, I suppose," she suid to Mr. McLaren. "Miss Corson, prepnro yourself. Your umbrella is hero said that worthy. It was handed in just now." The abstractor of the umbrella had brought it back, but deliberately denied himself this unique chance to win a doathlcss fnino as tho Great Restorer who had brought back an umbrella! It has given mo a very optimistic view of human nature," suid Miss Corson to a Woblu reporter this morning. It suited mo so well, and v as not as conspicuous as a cane. I have a collection, you see," sho said, point ing to a number stacked in tho corner of her bright llttlo room. but this lost ono was the pet. Do say, if you write anything about it, that I am so grateful to tho person who brought it back. I fancy all sort of delight ful motives that they could havo had in doing it, and feel truly thankful." DREARY DAYS FOR MURDERERS. Dan Drlscoll a Hero of the Dime Novel Order fur Diiu Lyons.

Ttjo other evening I wob in tho lobby of the thoa tre. and could hardly contain my laughter. Daly stood there asking tho little girl what Bhe nnd learned, and how she spelt this word, and what tbmt word meant. It was as good as a play. Dixey's business in San Francisco still con. Unites to bo phenomenal, in splto of the rain storms now prevailing in that city. In Son Francisco they have rain instead of snow and the storms continue for days. This is not montionod as an interesting meteorological fact, but to prove that Dixey is a potent attraction. Tho production of "Elaino"at tho Madi son Squnro Theatre to-night will be extremely interesting, inasmuch as it will reintroduce Miss Annie Russell nnd Miss Marie Bur roughs, two ladies whose obscurity for the last fow months metropolitan theatre-goers havo mourned. J. Barton Key, before starting for Balti more, discussed Mr. Miner's methods to a very considerable extent with his theatrical friends It is thought that thero will bo what is popularly and graphically known as a lively time, if no satisfactory arrangement is made between the two gentlemon. A Holo in tho Ground will be given at tho Fifth Aveuuo Theatre next week. This is generally looked upon as a remarkable error in managerial judgment, in view of the fact that tho play was presented at the Peo plo's Theatre, in the Bowery, and comes from thero to a high-class house, thus revorsing the usual order of things. Erdelyi Kaczi and his famous orchestra be gan an engagement at tho Edou Musle last night, and his sojourn thore will undoubtedly bo attended with a very considerable amount of success. He wns listened to with deep in terest last night. Naczi was born in Czegedin and was a professor in tho Conservatory thero. Ho has played in the principal cities of tho world. He will be heard at the Eden Musee" for a year. Modolon," a comio opera, with musio by Lecoco,, was rendered at the Casino last night, Tho Arabian Nights" was duly produced at tho Academy or Musio last night, and showed to far bettor advantage than at tho Standard Theatre. Tho only trouble with this burlebquo is tho libietto of Alfred Thompson, which is so full of absurd local allusions, puns and rubbish that it dotracts ono's attention from the beauty of the scenery and tho artistio stage effects. Wednosdny mntinees will hereaftor bo given at tho Academy. To-morrow,members of tho theatrical profession are invited. At tho Grand Opera-House last night Jefferson, the ever popular, played "Bip Van Winklo" to a lnrge audience. There were a number of now features at Dock stader's.

An exciting gams of football was played last Saturday at Nyuck, N. Y., between the Itookland College Club and iho Norwood, N. J., eleven. The visitors won alter a hard struggle by the score of 4 to 0. Neither sldo scored In the first Inning, but in the recond half tne Norwood eleven obtained a touchdown. They failed to kick a goal, how ever, owing to tne muddy and slippery condition of the ground. Over a thousand spectators wit nessed the game. Chased HI Children with a Knife.

Thompson was shown a new, or, rather, a very old way of croHS-counterlng which pn- jjilUts consider tho vory beau Ideal for a big opponent or for ono who rushes too much. Tho blow shown Mr. Thompson was to dodge tho beod tne right Instead of to tho left of tho incoming loft hand, then step in nuicfclmsyith tho right. Tho clover amateur caught nis hugo opponent twico in the first rouns! neatly, but in tho second round Barry throw his right boliind his back as ho bow Thompson preparing to catch him again, pulled the little fellow's head around with his left as it passed over his shoulder, hitting him in tho stomach and doubling him up in a corner. A shout of laughtor. in which Thompson joined, groetod tho awkward clip. Thompson kept well away in the third round, and at long range could now and then pop in and get away without the return. When Barry sets to with Donovan it's a great go. Mike has to do all he knows and duck his cleverest to escape tho sweeping rights and lofts the huge hammer-thrower lets go. Prof. Bill Clark, tho old-time champion Hparrer. yesterday sent on to Mr. Richard K. Fox, offifb Police Gaulle, for a dozen of the elegant Jake Kilrain championship colors. The sporting editor of tho Evening Would was tho first sporting writer to be presented with ono of those handkerchiefs. The colors consist of a picture of tho head and bust of Kilrain, with a suitable Inscription beneath, printed in the centro of a large silk kerchief. Around tho edges of the silken token run the rod. white and blue of the American flag. In the lower left-hand corner is the arms of Massachusetts, opposite tho arms of Mary land, ono backed with an Irish, tho other with an American flog. In tho upper comers are tho shield of Columbia and the harp of Erin. William E.

It is uncertain where the Olympio Athletio Club's headquarters next season will be. Up on the Mott Haven Grounds it is rumored. This olub has been paying the Manhattans 8100 a month and 81 a month for each mem ber over 100 for the track privileges of the Eighty-sixth street and Eighth avenue grounds. Tho Pastime AthroHo Club will have a regu lar meeting to-night. W. J.M.

The man whom I had now before me was a tall, muscular fellow, with broad shoulders, a florid complexion and loud voice, who did not seem to care two straws for public opin ion, and who certainly had nothing in com. mon with the ordinary stereotyped French employee. 'Well, what has become of you during t these long years I inquired. Are you till in Government service "No, old fellow," he replied. I am now Bimply a farmer.

As a matter of fact, stolen oysters aro by no means rare in New York, Even in tho peaceful, law-abiding waters of tho Bound, the lower bay, and tho Great South Bay, tho cheerful and audacious pirate stirs up mingled feelings of grief and rage in tho rugged breast of tho thrifty oyster fisher man. Thoro is a great deal of natural depravity in the oyster pirate. This freebooter of tho wintry seas could mako just as much money in the strictly honest business of off-shore fishing if he wished to. but, such is his aban doned nature, he prefers to dredgo in the dead of night where othor men have care fully planted in broad day. With a little caro the ovster pirate could have profitable oyster beds of his own, and ho in common with his neighbors, could sit up all night with a trusty shot gun to koop watch over his drodging grounds. Ab this plan would cause him to lose a great deal of necessary sleep the pirate pre fers to lot other men do nis planting and watching. When he gets a fair-sized load of oysterB from his cruiBing ground he starts off to market. Tho wholosalo dealer does not stop to ask what particular bed tho oysters came from. He would not find out it he did, for tho most that ho could lenrn from inquiries among othor oystormen would be that the suspected man owned an oyster bed at the head of tho bay and ono at tho mouth. This would usually be tho truth, for the pirato has to have some excuse for sailing back and forth among his neighbors' sub. marino properties. If tho pirate is unex pectedly found in the middle of tho oyster grounds he has only to say that he is on his way to either of his own dredging grounds. However muoh tho honest man may suBpect his neighbor ho can rarely catch him, as ho cannot prove his own property when ho sees it. Oyster buyers would not buy from a man whom they knew to bo a pirate, even though his oysters were remarkably fat and fresh. They will stand by the honest seller through thick and thin. Evon without tho doprodations of pirates, tho oysterman's business is not so profitable as a telephone- monopoly. Tho householdor pays from $1 to 81.60 per 100 for good oysters in most of tho New York markets. By tho time that the commissions of the rotail dealer and tho middlemen are taken out, the oyster man gets about half those figures. In stormy winter weather, when everything except cross seas and oyster pirates freezes up, these prices ore for from adequato return for tho labor and danger of oyster drodging. Tho oysterman's worst season is just now bo-ginning. PALETTE AND BRUSH. William M. Chase contributes four pictures to the American Art Gallory exhibition, which is now going on. One or two are Brooklyn Bcencs. Leonard Ochtman and Arthur Hoeber both havo a very poetio quality in their work. Their subjects are delicately handled and Bhow muoh grace of composition. Behn has a good marine on exhibition. All his work is manly and strong, and his waves move. Ho has a handsomer canvas in his studio than any he has yet exhibited. Frank D. Millet has two canvases in tho same gallery. Of course, they are window- Iiane young women Bubjects with a thin, egged-nioco of furniture hard by. This is the Millet note. Julian Btroy's tremendous picture of the young woman who is about to drink a gloss of aristocrat blood which a $ant-culottei is tendering her, has many meritorious points. The girl's pose is a bit stagey. J. Carroll Beckwith has had tho copy which he made this summer of Franz Hall's rosy-cheeked Dutchmen framed in oxact imitation of the original in tho Town Hall of Haarlem. Holland.

As soon as we had finished our coffee and liqueur we left tho banqueting hall, and as we walked alone by the river, smoking our cigars, my friend Vital told his story in the following words You know that I was brought up among bureaucrats. My fathers saw nothing beyond tho delights of a lifo in a Government offloe. So as soon as I had successfully passed my examinations I was placed as an attache in the department to which my father belonged. I had at that time no decided tastes or likings, and I accepted this position with great docility and obedience to my father's wishes. I was a quiet, hard-working young, ster, and having been imbued from infancy with great respect for Government service, I soon won the esteem and approval of all my chiefs. When I reached tho ago of twonty-flve years, the chief of my department, who liked mo much, wished me to become his private secretary, and every one began to say that I would surely soon attain high rank in the service. It was at about that time that I married a very pretty girl, of good family and stand, ing, but who unfortunately had no money. This was a great mistake in the eyes of all my fellow-employees and chiefs. You know how narrow-minded and far from disinterested the French middle classes are. With them marriage is generally looked upon as a matter of business, and the proverb which says that if the husband has money enough for breakfast, the wife must possess in her own right enough for dinner, is a fa vorite axiom in the provinces. 'iWell, my wife and I between us both had scarcely enough wealth for supper, let alone breakfast and dinner, and therefore every, body began to clamor loudly against tho im. providence and lack of common sense that we had displayed in uniting hunger to thirst. However, as my wife was remarkably pretty, well brought up and sweet-tempered, we were soon forgiven by our friends and acquaintances and local society ended by re. ceiving us with open arms. "Tho chief of my department was a very wealthy man, and as he liked to have always a full house, and to set the fashion he very frequently gave big receptions, dinners and balls, to which he invited all the notables and high functionaries of the town. He was very much offended if any of his subordi nates ever refusod his Invitations, and they were, so to speak, commanded to attend his entertainments and to amuse themselves at his hospitable board, Wo had been married'o year and my dear little wife was about to bsoome a mother, when my chief sent out invitations for a large ball. I should have greatly preferred to be CHARITY HELPED BY MIRTH. A 0RSAT HOQ GUESSING MATCH AX TOE HAS0NI0 FAIR. Columbia Student Slake a Combine to Carry OflT the Animal, but del I.eft No Ulmlnu.

It was fctjS771 Hi T the first day of tho y iff r second week of tho Masonio Fair, and when tho committoo counted up at midnight tho prospects of tho widows and orphans looked rosior than ever. Every floor of tho great building Bwarmed with visitors, and occasionally the crush was so groat that a deadlock occurrod. Thon it was fun for tho othor man to see tho dangorously pretty maidens sally forth from their gaily docked bowers against tho luckless wights, who could not move a step, and beguile them into rash investments of silver coin. These fascinating young ladles have not servod a week's apprenticeship in vain. They havo left the days of coy bashfulness far bo hind, and what thoy don't know in the way of working on a young man's feelings is not worth telling. The greatest fun of tho evening was in tho Shrine Room, whero hundreds loitered and laughed and took part in tho great hog con test. A big, fat pig, dead as a doornail, lav strotched out on a tablo and invited all comers to guess his weight at 20 cents a trip. The one whose guess most nearly approached the truth took either tho pig or $15 in United States currency. A crowd of Columbia students, some-twenty-five in number, fixed up a neat schemo to haul in the prize. Each bought a share and each mado a different guess. Thoy Lo gan at 140 pounds and rose two poundB at a tinio till tho last guessed 191 pounds. They thought they had a suro thing, but a quiet man, whoso guess 200 pounds, carriod off tho animal, for the woight was 108. Tho patrons of the fair havo a craze for vot ing, and all tho polling-places aro rolling up money for tho orphans. Tho fight for tho Eoat, which is to go tho most popular Mason, as bocome very exciting. A revolution in tho figures took place yestorday. and now C. O. Shayno leads Inspector Williams by 200 votes. Tho vote for tho most popular clergyman is very close between the Itev. Dr. It. S. McArthur and tho Kev. Dr. J. E. Poxton. Mr. Tolmage is fourth in tho race. For the superb gold commandery sword the contest is between the friends of District Command ers O. A. Benedict and Joseph Britton. A novel prize, put up by Hope Lodge, was offered to the boss liar of tho fair. It has become an accepted artiole of every one's creed that no gentleman must leave tho Fair without paying tribute to Bebocca at tho Well, and that every lady must visit the tent of the truly oriental fortune teller. More than six hundred people attended the evening concert in the CommaitQory Boom, and it was unanimously voted a first class entertainment. Tho committoo in charge of the fair promises delicious new attractions for this aitomoon and evening. 1 Ctoe Ileaaanlna.

Social Jfalti Hartford rfolM.I A Philadelphia bilde waa reported a while ago as saying that she had received over two hundred wedding presents "and not a single piece of silver nor a single lamp In tho lot." Her case was lamentable. Hut this wedding gift busi ness has been greatly overdone, and many are asking If there can be no relief from It. A wedding has come to be simply a do nation visit such as the Methodist people make to a pastor to pleco out his salary. The true spirit of gilt-making la lost sight of. This must necessarily be the cane where several hundred guests make presents merelr becauae It la the fash ion, and becauae they would be thought niggardly It they failed to follow It, We all follow it, bat the real motive. If It could be analyzed, would be found to be a aelOah and cowardly one. This u about the cane, when reduced to analysis: "I can't afford to make tbla prreent; It will pinch me financially to do so. Dot neither can I afford not to do It. I should be considered mean. Instead of having the supreme satisfaction ot being thought to be aa liberal hb Mr. or Mrs. Want. This gift-making la a terrible Infliction, but one can't be a society person and Ignore It." There is no heart in such a gift, and no sense. Where one has a circle ol several hundred friends, the question of expense for the carrying out of this worse than weak cutom, becomes serious for every one whose Income Is limited. A reform could be Inaugurated If every one about to be married woula tend out with the invitations this "PLZABE PICX tTP TOUB PXACITZS," allowed to stay quietly at home, with tho little woman, but my chief would not hear of such a thing, and I was forced to bow to his wishes and to promise to appear for at least a few hours at the ball.

I from ia I'MlarfitpAta nw, There Is no moro Interesting movement now go lng on In New York than that which looks to the organization of the tenement-house working women. It Is Interesting because It la made from the inside, not the outalde. New York is plagued with a big contingent ot professional philanthro pists. There aro acores upon scores ot women nowly rich many of them with little or nothing to do, living on the edges of society and esger to cross the boundary lino. The readiest way that occurs to them la to get their names written down on boards of one kind and another and take up benevolence as a dlventon which keeps them In good company and gets their names Into the news papers. These women taint everything thoy touch with patronage. They spend their money lavishly, and most of tnem nro thoroughly good-natured at heart, and. In spite of their selfish motives and dilettante mothoda, really mean to do good and think they are. Tho great mass of worklngwomen fight ahy of these amateur Lady Hountlfuls. They don't want to be Invited Into a Sunday-achoo) olaas with a eooklng-school annex. They don't want to have their meals supervised, their way of living crlllclsed and their Independence of thought con trolled.

In a lovely design for a Marie Th6r6ao dress there Is a puffed sleeve of silk reaching nearly to the elbow and coming some little distance below the deep berthe of lace, which Is fulled right round the low bodlo. Home of tho sleeves are mere veilings of spangled net or tulle, caught here and there and draped on the arm; but, though they are aa light as this, still they are sleeves, snd add a grace to the prettiest arms In the world.

At midnight supper was announced, and all tho daucers filed into the dining-room. I timidly glided in, and hardly had I pnbhed the door when I caught sight of tho famous hot-house peaches sent from Paris. They really woro splendid, tastefully arranged in the form of a pyramid, ornamented with flowors and green leaves, in a large silver basket. Thoy were large and luclous, with their velvety skin streaked with dork red. A look was enough to couvinco you how sweot and Juioy they must bo. I could not take my eyes off them, and I could not help thinking of tho cry of delight which would greet mo at home if I could only bring my wife one of these exquisite peaches. The more I thought of this the more my desire took the form of a fixed determination, and I was now perfectly resolved to bono ono or two of them. Hut how was this to be done?

For a few moments I ivas left alone near tho tnblo. There was not a mlnuto to lose. Glancing slyly round mo, as if I was abont to commit a crime, I rapidly seized two peaohes, m hich I conco tied in my hat, covering thorn with my handkerchief, and apparently vory calm aud dignified, although my heart was beating lordly. I left the dining-room, pressing my hat tightly to my breast with my right hand, which I negligently thrust in the opening of my waistcoat, this position giving me tho noble appearance of Nupoleou on the battle-field of Vtterloo My intention was to cross trie ballroom without attracting attention to leavo tho house quietly and to carry my booty tri umphantly homo. This, however, was not so easy to execute as I had imagiuod. When I entered the ballroom the German had just beguu. All 'round tho walls were ranged tho matrons and gentlemen who were not taking part in tho great feature of the evening. In front of them were rows of chairs for the younger ladies who uero to remain seated during tho intervals of dauciug, and in the middle a large space had been left empty for the waltzing. I had to cross this empty space to reach tho door of tho vestibule opening, on tbo garden. I went through tho crowd with tho suppleness of a serpent, trembling lest Bomebody should push me, and thereby make mo drop my hat and its contents. My ears felt warm, and I was so ashamed of myself that tho big drops of perspiration were trickling down my face. As I reached tho edge of the circle where' tbo dancing was going on a new figure of the cotillon had just been begun. Lach young lady, holding a hat in her hand, had to take her place in the middle of a ring formed by tho gentlemen holding each other's hand, and they each of them had to put tha hat on the head of the man they chose for their partner. Hardly had I taken two steps forward, when my chief's daughter, who was leading the cotillon with tho Governor of tho I'rovinco, rushed towonls mo crying t We want one moro hot, Mr. Uerbelot i give mo your hot,' and, without giving mo time to remonstrate, sho snatched my unfortunate hat with such violence that the two peaches rolled on tho floor, followed by pocket, handkerchief and by three or four vino leaves.

Mr. Lltchman, after reading tbe circular, talked freely on the subject of Its effect on tbe order and Ita prospects. "Therolano longer any necessity," said be, 'for a member of theKnlKbta to keep tbo fact of hla membership in the order a secret. Nor Is there any necosslty for these men who protend to have Brest strength in this city to keep their Identity a secret Mo nsmes are attached to this circular, and tho public la not roady to accept the wuquall. Ocd statement of peraona wbo decline to let tbelr Identity be known. If the men who are at the head bf thla movoment were delegates to tho General Assembly they know that the Ocneral Kxeoativo Hoard waa lu no way responsible for the large ex penditure of money last year. They mutt kuow that the expenditure waa made by order of tho General Assembly Itself. The payment of ovor taou.ooo tor settling bad striken wan ordered by the Uenerul Assembly, and the General Executive Hoard waa not consulted lu tho matter at all. Not only waa the lund set apart (or sucii puruosea thua expended but also, ooo of the general fund went In the same direction. (Secretary Hayes interrupted the Goueral Seo reiury, saylngi Tbo trouble with the men In tbla movement who now cry out against the salaries ot Mr. I'owdcrly and tne general oOlcera la miu they have at varlons times been candidates for tbo omccs themselves. It Is only another attempt on the part of tbe dissatisfied to do by underhand work what they could not do In the open meeting of the General Assembly. Mr. Lttotiman characterized the reports that the order waa going to plecea aa ridiculous and untrue. We are getting hundreda of letters dally from ail sections of (be country assuring us that the move ment against the administration la getting no foot hold in other districts.

Since July 683 new local assemblies bare been organised, eleven lapsed locale have been reorganized and over one thousand havo been reinstated, they having been auspended ror various causes. In conclusion Secretary Lltchman aaldt "They say they will not pay the per capita tax, and yet they declare the work against ua ahall bo done within the ordor. Jan. f the usual notice of taxes due will bo aent to every assembly In tho order. As was done last year, this will be accompsnled by a notice that onless tho money is paid within forty days tho assembly will be suspended.

Therefore It they don't pay np tho war upon ua will have to bo made outside of tho order, and It will not take the members long to recognize thla faot. NOT AFRAID OP MILLIONAIRES.

Ono of tbo first of tho latter to go Into the pawn shop la hla watch, and It la soldoru redeemed. A watch and nashr chain used to be among tho earliest purchases nf a woodsman, who has Just cashed hi "pay check." Hut It Is so no longer. Nearly all tbe watches now sold tothcBe men are aold In tho camps by drummers from the various Jewelry stores In tbe locality nearest which the camps are situated. This trade haa becomo a prominent feature in tho Jewelry business, especially near Saginaw, Mich, where ever Jewelry concern has one or more men In tho woods during the entlro lumbering season. Most of these drummers are familiar with thla class of trade. Borne of them have regular routes, with the exclusive prlvllcgo of selling goods In certain camps. These privileges tbey obtain from either the foreman or tho owner, and as many of the camps give employment to 400 or BOO men It la eaay to understsud the value ot a privilege ot thla kind. Tho drummers carry a atock ranging in valuo from W to rs.ooooneach trip. They can only sell at tbe closo of the working boura and after supper, when tho men are gathered In tho largo camp about the big stove. Tbe glittering I rays are spread out to admiring eyes, and tho teller has to be sharp Indeed lo keep track of his goods aa they are handed about for Inspection. At tho same time he must stand a rattling fuslllude of questlona while driving sharp bargains. The men. In the consciousness of the credits that they aro lying up agalnat their account on the company's books, and Incited by example, prove very liberal buyera. It Is not an uncommon thing tor a drummer to sell $soo or f too v, orth of stock In an evening. Moat of the watches aold are American silver watches, or American movements In filled cases. It the sales man numbers among bis accomplishments the ability to sing a good song, tell a good story or danco a Jig, It will greatly add to bis success and popularity In tbe camp. As a large percentugeof tbe watches thus sold find their way to the pawn-shop the first time their possessors go to town and indulge In their usual firotracted sprees, tho men get Into a habit of buy ng new onea every winter. There are good pros pects, therefore, that thla branch of the jewelry business at least haa entered on an era of Ion if. continued prosperity In tbe logging regions of the great Northwest. Ostrich Feather flans. fYvm a Airt, Ullrr. The new ostrich feather boaa are a sort of rage among the few who van get them. A Parisian grande dame discovered them In an obscure shop in Paris before any one had bemiu to wear them j she Immediately bought ten and gave away nine to bet friends, on condltlan that they all wore them to the theatre the same evening, and so started a new fashion in a single night. She kept a beauti ful white one for heraelf aud was so pleated with Ita pretty effect that she I having an evening dress made with one arranged on the bodice and tho train all trimmed with feathering. Nothing can bo more becoming than one of these exquisitely soft, light boas passed once or twice round the throat; tt will now bo the most correct thing to wear one to the theatre or the opera and keep It On it Is not thrown aside with tha opera cloak. mm The Crowd Went Into tbe Cellar.
