The policy of the Republican
nority in the House is to repeal
tobacco tax. Reed, of Maine,
nouueed his readiness to repeal
tat before i he Christmas rece6B.
Yesterday, McKinley, of Ohio, at
the meeting of ibo ways and means
committee, called up his bill to repeal
the tax. Of course he ,well under
stood when the motion w as submitted
that it would not be entertained as
an independent proposition. " And it
was not. Very properly itwas voted
down. The tobacco tax will be re
pealed, if assurances made by Demo
cratic members of the ways and
means committee are worth anything.
The tariff bill which ?s now in pro
cess of formulation, will provide for
the repeal of the tobacco tax. This
assertion finds cont-t ant and authorita
tive repetition. McKinley knowB
this and the attempt to force
its consideration as an independ
eut proposition is simply a little
cheap politics. Of the same order of
politics is the atteapt tb make the
President hostile to the repeal of the
tax. This was plainly the purpose
of Sherman's speech in the Senate,
and it is being used for all it ia worth
in that direction. It is being widely
circulated throughout the tobacco
sections of North Carolina and Vir
ginia
Congressman Brower, it is said, is
flooding the fifth district with it. Un
less all the signs fail, the Democratic
majority in the House will effectually
silence this premature Republican
campaign thunder.

The attempt of vour correspondent
to get Borne expression of pinion as
to the Democratic nominee for Gov-
fernbr was a lamentable failure. "Oh !
there are any number oi cano.io.ateo,
and, in the go-as-you-pleaee race for
the nomination it is impossible to ten
who will win,' was tne
provokingly indefinite answer
to every inquiry on the Bubject, with
one exception. Said one of the dele-i
gation, wbo knows every poiuiciau m
the State (speaking tub road), "The
man the convention will nominate ia
not a candidate, but he will accept
the nomination. He has recently said
so much, and his friends are now
urging it for him. I allude to Tom
Jarvis. If the nomination is tendered
him hn will accent it, and he will
make the fight, expecting to be Gov
ernor of the State and not United
States Senator. Oh ! no; he is not a
political necessity, but I think he is
about the strongest man the party
can. nominate. His (nomination will
harmonize things, and besides he is
a very strong man in North CAro

Washington, Jan. 21. The action
of the House in adjourning today
without disposing of the Thoebe
Carlisle case, lenders it impossible
for the vote by which the resolution
for the re-opening of the case was de
feated yesterday to be reconsidered
except by unanimous consent, the
time within which such a motion
could have been entered as one of
privilege having expired with today's
session. I here 19 a rumor that Mr.
Carlisle will on Monday address a let
ter to the House asking that the case
be fre opened but it is declared by
that gentleman's friends to be with
out foundation. Even should such a
communication be received, its sug
gestions could only be heard by con
sent unless this order for the previous
question, under which the House is
now operating, should be considered
as withdrawn.;
An Associated Press reporter to
night requested of Speaker Carlisle
to state what truth there was in the
retort that ;he would, on Mon
day, send aa letter to the
House requesting that the Thoebe
Carlisle cuse: be re-opened and
that the committee be sent into the
si ah Kentucky district. The Speaker
authorized the following denial of the
report to be made public : "I have
not contemplated such a step. The
House must take its own course in
the case without dictation or at
tempted dictation from me."

what are usually called the fine arts,
so I will not undertake any descrip
tion. The gallery contains Stuart's
Washington, portraits and busts of
FrankliD. Penn, Robert Morris, Dr.
Rush and many other persons of his
toric interest. Among the paintings,
"Death on the Pale Horse," by Ben
jamin West is one of the celebrities.
The idea of the painter seems to have
been to portray "Death" as the "King
of Terrorp," and this idea is carried
out in harrowiog detail. The paint
ing is many years old, and I
doubt if we moderns sympathize
with this conception. While the
instinct of all is to avoid death as
long as possible, has not Christianity
impressed its lessons on human
thought, deprived death of its terrors,
and taught mankind to accept with
resignation the end of all things
mortal? A painter of this day,
would not entertain or produce the
same conceptions, ine gallery ib
open freely to all on Sundays and
Mondays by virtue of an endowment
for that purpose. On other days a
small charge is made for admission,
and on Thursday afternoons a fine
band is in attendance, when the many
objects oi .interest may be examined
while enjoying a splendid promenade
concert.

the Philadelphia & Reading railroad,
and Jhere are forty-four collieries
within their domain of two hundred
and ten thousand acres. These col
lieries employ about thirty thousand
men, all of whom are idle because of
a disagreement between the company
and the men as to the rate of wages.
No coal comes down the Reading
railroad and the stock is getting small
and the price going up The middle
of January is here and with it the se
verest weather of the winter, lhe
company insists that the men shall
mine coal at $2 50 per ton. The men
say it is not enough, that the price of
coal has gone up, that the company
can pay better prices, and that their
wages are too low. It is a huge mo
nopoly, with two hundred millions
of capital on one side, and thirty
thousand men with their wives
nr Ana than to band toeether and
strike. If public opinion says they
are right, perhaps ultimately the
rrrnst capitalists will eive in. The
Readin? railroad was chartered as
common carrier only, and, it is sai l,
is forbidden by its charter to own and
orierate coal mines. The Knights of
Labor propose to attach it in the
courts for violation of its charter, and
perhaps an effort will be made to call
the great monopoly to an account. In
the meantime a coal famine is near at
hand. In the city of Reading, sur
rounded ty mines, the price is quoted
at $10 per ton.
City politics in Philadelphia are
much mixed and both parties just
now are made up of contending fac
tions. Leeds. Republican, with his
Independent following, shut out his
rival, McManes, from the sheriffaltv
of Philadelph;a county, but now
McManes bobs up serenely and floors
Leeds and his men for delegates that
will select members of the National
Republican Convention. On the
Democratic side affairs are.aiso in a
mess. It ;s Randall on one side and
the adherents of the President on the
tariff on the other. These two wings
trv to floD toeether wben the voting
takes place, but they are now tussling
for local supremacy. The simon pure
administration Democrats are led
by Commodore Singerly, one of Phil
adelphia's foremost citizens. He pub
lishes the Record, with its 110,000
dilv circulation, runs a woolen mill
and a paper mill, owns much real es
tatp. and tne Jiecora I arm, witn a
splendid herd of HoMein cattle,
whicb, according to all accounts, it
would delight our friend, Dr. Lewis,
to look at- The Record farm butter
brings a big price in the market Be
sides all this, he owns a yacht, and
hence his title of commodore. Ac
cording to appearances his forces
have carried the day, and that means
that the vote of Pennsylvania in the
National Democratic Convention will
be given to Cleveland.
The first object to be gained seem
ed to be the control of the State Dem
ocratic organization- that is, the elec
tion of the chairman of the btate L,i
ecutive Committee. The election was
held yesterday and resulted in the
choice of Kissner over Sanders. The
latter baa served as chairman and de
sired a re-election, lhe iormer is
claimed to be a born organizer, and
will lead the Democrats of Pennsyl
vania in a lively campaign. Both fac
tions acquiesce' in the result, so no
harm is done. Probably the fact that
Kissner belongs to a country district
secured his election over a Philadel
phia man. Outside of the city, Penn
sylvania is claimed to be Democratic.
The disorganized condition of labor
in the btate creates some unknown
and uncertain political conditions,
and it may be possible before next
November to carry these disbanded
voters, heretofore controlled by pro
tection leaders, into the Democratic
camp. So far the commodore has
gained a victory. Tab Heel.
