We copied some comments last week from our able jcontemporary, the Rockingham Rocket, upon Col. Dackery'a demagogical letter. It was well i done. We copy to-day from .another article that is . equally as i pointed and effective.! It is upon Judge Russell's letter, which has been variously commented upon, bat which this writer has not read. I Life is too short to read a .three column screed made up of bold assertion and blarney, unless you purpose insert ing into it your own Bacrificial knife. We read such public documents as we think it necessary to' discuss, and the others we let severely alone. Af ter reading what the Rocket says, we realize that it would have been well to have used a scalpel upon the Rus- i sell fanfaronade. .The Rocket how ever, has done the work of dissection so well, wo copy the chief portion. It ia very good reading for the day, and it is not hard to guess the hand that is laying bare the sop mistical asser- ' tions and UDsnstained assumptions of Dackery and Russell Arcades ambo. j The friends of Blaino say that he will fool Pig-iron Kelley when he gets homo about" that jFree Whiskey plank. He is known to have been opposed, they say, to the abolition project full six years ago. Well we will see what we will 'see. Mr. J. IlOwe, of Washington, writes to the New York Times on the 18th inst., vas follows, of Blaine'a letter: j; "He wrote that celebrated letter of what to do with the surplus five or six years ago purposely to stop this talk among Repub licans who were then, as they are now, at tempting to hold the tariff wall unbroken by abolishing the internal revenue tax on liquor. The extraordinary ' declaration of Ingersoll at tho recent Harrison ratification meeting in favor of free whiskey has aroused an immense amount of indignation among the Blaine Republicans. The free whiskey plank in the Chicago platform is Harrison's Burchard." I i i . Gen. W. C. Wickhatn, of Virginia, whose death has been1 announced, was a gallant Confederate.!

The Weekly - J ' - 'mm'm''mmm'mmmmmll''lm'mtm TIOTOBY. The triumph of the Mills (Demo cratic) Tariff bill in. the House Sat urday la too important not to de mand special editorial mention. Un der the circumstances it is a grand victory. Republicanism has done all it could to fasten upon the country a system that is purely in the interest of the rich and that ; is worked for the benefit of Monopoly alone. . . - The victory in the House is com plete. It winnowed the chaff from the wheat. It showed in true colors Randall and his claquers. Randall is now on record whereof we are happy. He has been ;! the steadfast enemy of the Democratic party for six years and four times has betrayed it. The Stab long ago sounded the alarm and warned the party against the machinations of this genuine en emy who was masquerading under a Democratic garb. It is plain enough now, even to the blind, who would not see, hia preaching and false pre tence. This enemy in disguise fights a Democratic bill, a Democratic Ad ministration and a Democratic House upon a proposition to reduce a high, oppressive War Tariff 1 per cent., 1finSnn it Aft 1 ft n nont. or m OTA ;fa l , mf. ftT' tnan aouDie ine x ana 01 xienry iiay. Tbe MilH MJlia a Protection measure of a hieh kind. But the Kicker could no ; permit his darling 47.10 War Tariff with additions to be limited. It will be highly edifying to read the praises of Randall in cer tain Virginia and North Carolina pa- .1 pers. tie deserves to nave mcenBe offered him, but not by any genuine Democrat The Republican tools of Monopoly and the Money Devil may gather t heir "yerbs" and burn in cense to the man from Pennsylvania who was faithful to the hands that fed him. 1 I We have before us one issue. Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, formulated and pre sented "that one issue td: the Federal Congress. It is tax I reduction Tariff reform eurplus ending. We rejoice at this. It forces the Repub licans to take a bold, open position. They are now committed to a High Tariff - higher than even 47.10 i M per -cent average ; on over 4,100 articles. rThey i are now standiog for Free Whiskey and High Necessaries. The j Democracy on tbe other hand, are j thoroughly solidified, unified. As the New York World says "This is the answer of the party to the bold bUwi taken by the President. It is a Tariff for Revenue, a Tariff for Protection, but no Tariff for Surplus. 'We extend our congratulations to Chair man Milla and his able and faithful Demo cratic colleagues in the House, and to Pre sident Cleveland. The President has a party at his back . The party has a leader at its head There can be no dodging in this fight. Those who are not with the Democracy in their great struggle to cut down expenditures and high taxes and relieve tbe people of great, need less burdecs heaped upon them by the Jtvepublican War 1 arilf, are against them. There can be no neu tralsin this war. It is to be for Free Whiskey and more High Tariff or it is to be for tax redaction and Tariff lowering. You mast stand by your colors. If you are a Protectionist and believe in the Chinese Wall ar rangement then go where you be long. You cannot serve your conn' try and the Democratic party by fol lowing Kandall, but you can get in your true place. The condition of the Republican party is grotesque and absurd. It has had three Presidents -Grant, Gar field and Arthur who favored Tariff reform. It has in two Nation al Conventions declared for Tariff re daction. It has gone back upon all this and now by is vote in the House and by 1 its decla rations at Chicago j declared for a continuance of the War system, for more taxation and against all plans of relief for the people. They neither help to relieve the people of burdens nor allow others to relieve them. They vote against the Dem ocratic measure of relief mild, con servative, needed and refuse to in troduce any measure of their own. They are playing the part of the dog in the manger. The New York Times, a very able and dignified Independent Republi can paper, in its discussion of the vote in the House, says "Judged by the action of their Renre sentatives ia the House thev are committed to a oana resistance to all changes in the J tariffi for they have proposed none, none has been advocated by any of them having auy Hixiuumy,. ana vney nave notoriously been unable to agree upon any, though they I have had no end -of conferences, consulta tions, and even caucuses to accomplish an agreement, j ungeai oy tne action of their convention, their attitude is still more reac tionary, for in the convention they declared themselves against any change except in the direction of an advance toward prohib itory rites, in favor of free whiskey rather than any reduction in protective duties, and for the wildest extravagance in expenditure for pensions, schools, rivers and harbors. new navy, extensive coast defences, subsi- oics ?nyimng ano everything rather than lane on a penny ot trie tariff duties." Now what will the Senate do about it? Will the Republicans in that body follow the example set them in the House, and refuse to introduce a bill of reform and relief, contenting themselves with voting against the very moderate, cautious Democratic Tariff? It ia a very flat failure when you try to get up enthusiasm over the IJritiBh Civil Service Reform System in the South xi to - buu unrenuDU- can, too undemocratic for the South.

We "have given extracts f com Grant. -Garfield and Arthur when they Were President relative to Tariff reconstruction and reduction. Our readers sawFhow the 'Republican leaders were in favor of change, and how strong Garfield and Arthur were for Tariff reduction. We have also . . i I sometimes copied from John Sher-j. man land other Secretaries of the Treasury. ", It will be in order to re-; produce extracts from the reports of Republican Secretaries in the past relative to economic questions. And first, as to John Sherman.' In 1870,1 in nis omoiai report, u earn: , - rt i . i i. muL ii . I ij! xaa queauuu uaiurtuijr incecuui ibociL i to Congress whether the surplus revenue accruing after the present year should be applied to the further reduction of the pub lic debt, or whether taxes now imposed should! be repealed or modified to the ex tent of such surplus. If it should be determined by Congress to reduce taxes, it is respectfully recommended that all the taxes imno8ed by the internal revenue law other than those on bank circulation and on spirits, tobacco and fermented liquors, b? repealed. As regards the internal revenue taxation, the Secretary cannot too strongly urge the importance of stability in the rates imposed on spirits, tobacco ana fermented liauora. Tliese articles are. re garded by all governmentsas proper objects of taxation" Well taken. There was a surplus and Secretary Sherman thought some- thing should be done to reduce it. He was opposed to abolishing tbe liquor and tobacco tax then. Eight een years ago Sherman took no Free Whiskey "in histn." Now let us skip eleven years. In 1882 Secretary MoCulloch in his re port held this: This much, hower, it may be proper for rTharuie existine duties upon raw matererials which are to be used in manufacture should be removed. This cau be done in tbe interest of our foreign trade. ' 'Second That the duties upon the ar ticles used or consumed by those who are the least able to bear the burden of taxation should be reduced. This also can ba effected without prejudice to our export trade." Ho makes these recommendations, bo says, becauso there is an urgent demand for Tariff reduction. He recommends that the tax on raw ma terials for manufacturing should be removed and that the tax on the necessaties of life should be reduced. This is precisely on the line of Dem ocratic i-ffort. - In 1882, Secretary Folger recom mended; cnanges as very necessary. Ho said in hia report: lL is recommended to retain an internal revenue tax on spinis, tooacco ana n r- tnented liquors as legitimate subjects of needful taxation. Tbey are ia the main the means of Jndultjence. and should come be fore nece2saries as subjects of taxation. ! Propositions nave rscently been mad: to Abolish the whole system or inter nal reveniie. but neither public sentiment nor political action indicates a desire on tbe part of !aX paying citizens to 6trike outthia c!as3 of taxes To complete an effectual reduction of taxation, it must be made on some principal source of revenue, and such fcn one is the duties on imports collected under the tariff laws, and an ad ditional obvious method of avoiding a sur plus in ibe treasury is a reduction of the revenue fpira ihosa. We may expect that the revenues from customs wiil not diminish ia future years. It seems, therefore, 1 that a reduction should Im made ia ibem." He dotfa not favor'it is seen, the abolition of tbe whiskey and tobacco tax. j There was no Free Whiskey and High Necessaries in that report. He favored a reduction of the Tariff. Wo have given the Republican Ta riff plank; of 1884, and extracts from the Tariff Commission in 1882. These wiil bo referred to again. We are showing how the Republican party of 188 lias; surrendered its record of other years how it ia reactionary and bliudj aud foolish. It once fa vored Tax Reduction when there was : i far less need for it than now. It now cnarnpionB rree Whiskey and denounces an attempt to reduce a - Tariff they promised to reduce as free trade. In doing this they only show up their falsehood and insin- cerity. WASHiNdTOJT, July 17 "We're getting very weary j of the free whiskey, crv over here," said Mr. Maaon, of Illinois, during ine aeoaie on tne tann but in the House of Representatives to-day, and before he could say another; word tho Democrats raised a perfect storm of cheers, cat calls and deri sive laughter Washington Special to N. r. Times. It has bee"a apparent Home time that the Rads are fully satis6ed of their folly and have discovered to their satisfaction that the decency of the country jis not yet ready for a campaign of Free Whiskey. They would gladly recall their declaration that they "favor tho entire repeal of tho internal tax."; No party can make eucbj a deliverance and succeed before States, smoke the people of the United Put that m your pipe and Such is the revolt at the idea of Free Whiskey and High Ne cessaries of Life that the Republican stomach iej becoming seriously affect ed.

J TUB KEPDBLICAN QU1BU4BI 'f AND IDEA OF FAIRNESS.' v The Republicans in. the. Senate have heard something drop. ! - They are now cauousing over the kindof Tariff bill to be reported by them, anai woen.w report it. iney aSrf d that be done nn the election is over. They have "ner agreed that the principles 01 Kill shall U .TTia I """f UD Republican Supreme Court has de cided that a Tariff for Protection "is robbery." But the Republican Sen ators are so used to "robbing" the Supreme Court has no terrors for them. The Repubhoan Senators for a quarter of a century have been the ?i ".-.-? " .. - I pliant tools of tne Monev .Devil ana i - i the obedient slaves of the Manufac turers. Their chief end as legisla tors is to keep piling up the taxes upon the people for the. benefit of the Monopolists. The Republican Senators have heard the denunciations that have gone up trom every corner 01 tue land, because of the Free Whiskey and High Necessaries plank in their rotten platform at Chicago. They how pretend that they are not in sympathy with the demand for more Protection, which is the meaning of the platform, bat that they will favor a Tariff "based upon fair Protection principles." ; I Since tbe. world was made there was never a more foolish declaration. A "fair Protection" Tariff. Messrs. El Republicans in the Senate that "can not be did." You would be as intel ligent and reasonable if yon were to go to work to make a round square, or to mane tne rivers an run np i -i l . . - - . . .J. stream. "A fair Protection" Tariffl Adam Smith and David Ricardo de fend us! Perry and Sumner to the rescue! To. talk of a "fair Protection," . is to talk positive, unadulterated non sense. You cannot have "Protec- tion'i without palpable and deliber-J ate "robbery," and robbery is not and cannot underlying be "fair." The great principle of Protec- is to rob the many the benefit of the few. The scheme is to make 60,000,000 people pay in 1888, for the maintenance and enriching of the few the million and a quarter of "protected" workers and owners'. No such principle or plan or scheme can be possibly "fair.' The Republicans in the Senate are simply at their old game of decep tion. Bat they wiil not move until after the Presidential election. The Free Whiskpy and High Necessaries plat- form mast etmd and upon it are Chi nese Harrison and Money-bags Mor ton. . The Monopolists' platform is this "Tho Republican party would effect all needed reduction of the national revenue by repealing the taxes upon tobacco, which ate an unnoyance and burden to agticuU lure, and tne lax upon spirits used in the arts for mechanical purpose?, and by such revision of the tariff laws as will tend .to check imports of such articles as are pro duced by our people. If mere shall still remain a lare revenue than is requisite for the wants of tho government. to favor the entire repeal of internal taxes rathe than tiie surrender of any part of our protective system at tne joint tehe8t of tne wnisaey trusts and tbe agents of for eign manufacturers. Now wiil the Republican Senators undertake after the election to Bus- tain that declaration of principle. What is it? The platform favors "audi revision of the Tariff." as what? such revision as "will tend to check imports"- that is to make tbe tax higher still so as to com pletely thut out all "articles as are produced by our people." Thfey declare that they will make the Tariff so high that nothing made abroad shall come in if the same ar- tide is made in this countrv. That ... is thej silliest, the wickedest, the most desperate deliverance ever made by a party. Whom the gods would de stroy they first make mad. Mean whiskey and idiocy must have aboun ded iti the committee room on plat form. Then tho plank declares for Free Whiskey rather than for the slightest surrender of one farthing of the nre- sent rriant, grinding War Tax. And that is Republicanism in 1888. And that is tho Republican idea of "fair protection." eu it not in Fittsburg, proclaim 11 U0S in the streets of Birmingham, but the Mills Free Trade (see Radi- cal papers) bill leaves the average duty br tax on 4,100 articles actually 11A9 per cent higher than that of the much talked of Morrill War Tariff oi 1862. And yet the Repub- licans are crying out that the Demo cratic bill is a Free Trade bill. A Free Trade bill actually 17.49 per cent higher than a Republican War Tariff. Such lies are not even amusing.

Since the pas sage by the-Senate of the bill to reimburse depositors of the JTreedman s savings ana Trust Company for losses incurred by the failure of said company, tna Comptroller of the Currency, asex-officio commissioner of said trust, has issued the following cir cular in reply to remonstrances , received from white depositors against that pro vision of the bill which limits relief to de positors of African descent: "This bill does not in any way alter, impair, or affect tbe rights of any depositor in the Freedman's Savings and Trust !

This Is a pure eratuity from (Jocgrcss to these people. and tho distinction in their favor rests upon the questionable tact that none put persons of African descent have any right to make use of "ifrecaman s savings, ana m any manner, or to acquire by any means, any interest whatever in its assets. .Neither you nor any other wnite depositors I have any claim upon, me bounty of Ccnzres?. louwere bound to. know the limitations of the charter of corporation wiiu which you dealt, and therefore to kco.v that its officers could noli lawfully take your deposits. It is not now intended in eny way to inflict upon white depositors any loss, any injury, or even any censure, Thi-y have been up to this time treated pre cue'.y like those depositors who could aloce'lawf ully make use of the institution. and I know of no reason why they should not continue to be treated in the same way so far as the assets of the corporation are concerned I (Signed) W. S. Tbenholm Commissioner." Senator Sherman, from the Finance Committee, to-day reported favorably an amendment proposed by Senator Spooner to the Sundr Civil bill, providing fox! the refunding of the direct tax paid by the sev eral States and Territories, under the act of August 5, 18(51. and for the remission of all moneys tall due to tbs United States on recount of this tax. This amendment is substantially identical with the bill for the refunding of the direct tax, which caused a prolonged dead lock in the House this cession. j Surgeon General Hamilton has rcbeived a telegram from Dr. Wall, at Tampai Fla , saying that Tampa is healthy, but that two new cases of yellow fever have appeared in Plant City, and that there was one doubtful case at Manatee yesterday. j Joseph S. Miller, Commissioner of Inter nal Revenue, has made a preliminary i re port of the operations of the Internal Rev enue Bureau for the fiscal year ended ! June 30, 1838. Total collections 'for the year, $124,326,474, as against $118,827,301 for tbe previous fiscal year. j Tbe cost of collection for the year was $3,983,000, exclusive of the amount expen ded for the printing of internal revenue stamps. In case this amount is not in creased by items yet to be settled, the per centage of cost of collection will be about 3.2 per cent of the amount collected, i ! The Commissioner says that under the conditions now existing with regard to pend ing legislation, etc., it ia impossible i to make an estimate of probable collections for the current fiscal year. Collections were made up as follows: On spirits $69, 306,166. an increase of $3,476,845: on to bacco $30,662,431, an increase of $554,364; on fermented liquors $23,824,218, an in crease of $1,402,031; on oleomargarine $864,140, an increase of $140,192; on banks and bankers $4,203, a decrease of $86; on miscellaneous $165,816, a decrraae of $84, 172. Collections were greatest in Illinois, New York, Kentucky and Ohio, in the or der named, and the smallest in New Mex ico. Alabama, South Carolina and Arkan sas in the order named. There was an increase I of 278.220.900 in cigarettes and 66,421,207 in cigars manufactured during the year. Washington, July 24. Tho Republican members of Senate Committee on the Tariff remained id conference nearly an hour after their Democratic colleagues withdrew, and during the afternoon there were frequent privato conferences with other Republican Senators, and with Republicans members of the House. As a result the opinion is gaining headway that there will be no re per: of the Tariff bill at this session, but that the sub-committee will continue its in quiry during the recess. Should the Re publicans adopt this course, final adjourn ment of the session may be expected within three weeks. h I Among the propositions which have been suggested as possibly to be considered by Republican Senators is, that to bring in a resolution instructing the Tariff sub-corn mitteo to continue its hearings and its study of the subject during the recess by bearing industries, agriculture and labor, and to frame a bill which shall be based upon fair protection principles, to be reported to the Senate on the first day of next session The proposition contemplates fixing in the reso lution a minimum of reduction of the reve nue which the committee Bhall aim to se cure, as well as making the measure a spe cial order, with tho exclusive right of way until it shall be perfected and passed by the Senate. j j Washington, July 25 The House Committee on Agriculture to-day recon sidered its action of last week on referring to a sub- committee the compound lard bill, and all adulterated food bills before the committee, with, instructions to report by bill or otherwise, in December next, and decided to report to the House the Lee bill to prevent the sale, manufacture or trans portation of adulterated articles of food, drink and drugs; also a substitute for the Butterworth Bill, defining lard, and impos ing a tax upon compound lard and regulat ing its sale, importation and exportation, j Washington, July 25. A tariff . Con ference of Republican Senators was held at Senator Evarts' residence to-night,! at which a decision was reached that the Finance Committee shall prepare a tariff bUl as a eubstitute for the Mills bill, and that it shall then be reported to the Senate and taken up and passed regardless of the length of time this may require. j Various propositions looking to an early adjournment and postponement of the ta riff matter until December were suggested but arguments advanced by the ad voltes of the policy of passing the bill and rSg a direct issue as early as possible, were bo strong that the assemblage - became em phatically unanimous . in ravorii oi me courre finally adopted. It was urged that tbe Democratic house naa laaen us lime and consumed many months in rram i .... .. . ; i. f J log ana; aeoaung mo measure u uau nut fortb. and that the Republican 8enate should not be curtailed of its full liberty of action on questions which so vitally affected the interests of the country and of the Republican party. The Finance Com mittee was instructed to continue its work and bring it to a conclusion as speedily as it could consistent; wnn a careiui periorm ance of the task allotted to it. The bill will be an outgrowth of that already sketched by the sub committee, but the views expressed by Senators to-night, and approved by the majority of the Senators, will doubtless lead to some modifications ana cnange oi detail. The net reduction to be ; attained will probably be between sixty-save ana eighty millions. ! I ;i . Tbe conference adiournea at miamgnt.

Washington. July 23. The President to-day sent to Congress the following mes sage: -i j "(I To tne congress ot tne united estates: i 1 Pursuant to the second section of chapter twenty-seven of the laws of 1883, enti tied "An act to regulate and improve the Civil Bervice of the United States' I here with transmit the fourth report of tbe U. S. Civil Service Commission, covering the period between the loth ! day or January, 1886. and the first day of July. 1887. I ; During the time covered by tho report 15.852 persons were examined for admis sion in the classified civil service of the government in all its branches, of whom 10.746 passed examination, and 5,106 fail ed. Of those who passed examination 2, 977 were applicants for admission to the departmental service at Washington ; 2,547 were examined lor admission to tne cub toms service, and 5,222 for admission to the postal Bervice. During the same period 547 appointments were made from the eligible list to departmental service; 641 to the cus toms service, and 3,254 to the postal ser vice. ' i In the department service there occurred between the 16th day of January, 1886, and the 80th day of June, 1887, among the em ployes appointed from the eligible lists under the civil service rales seventeen re moval?, thirty-six resignations and five deaths. This docs not include fourteen separations in the grade of special pension examiner! four by removal, rive j by resignation, and five by death. ii j In the classified customs and postal ser vice tbe number of separations among those who received absolute appointments under the civil Bervice rules are given for the period between the 1st day of January, 1886, and the SOth day of June, 18S7. j It appears that such separations in the cus toms service for the time i mentioned em braced twenty-one removals, five j deaths and eighteen resignations; and in the postal service two hundred and fifty'Six removals, twenty-three deaths and four hundred and axty-nino resignations. More than a year has passed since the ex piration of the period covered by the re port of the Commission. : Within the time which has thus elapsed many important changes have taken place in furtherance of reform in our civil service rules, and the regulations governing the execution of the law upon the subject have been completely remodelled in such manner as to render the enforcement of the statute more effective, greatly increase its usefulness, among other things scope of examination prescribed for those who seek to enter classified service has been better defined and made more practical. - j A plan has been devised providing for the examination of applicants ior promo tion in service which, when in full opera tion, will eliminate all chance of favoritism in the advancement of employes, by making promotion the reward of merit and faith ful discharge of duty. ; ij The path of civil service reform his not at all times been pleasant nor easy. I Tho scope and purpose of reform have been much misapprehended, and this has not only given rise to strong opposition, but has led to its invocation by its friends to compass objects not in the least related to it. 'I j The executive branches of the govern- I ment have been and ara still often annoyed and irritated by disloyalty to service and the insolence of employes who remain in place as beneficiaries, and reminders of the very system of appointment which the civil service reform was intended to dis place, and yet there are but incidents of the advance movement which is radical and far reaching. I The people are notwithstanding, to be congratulated upon the progress which has been made, and upon the firm, a practical and sensicle foundation upon which this reform now rests. With a continuation of the intelligent fidelity which has hitherto characterized the work of the Commission ; with a continuation and increase of ! the favor and liberality which have lately been evinced by Congress in the proper equip ment of tho Commission lor its work, with a firm but conservative and reasonable sup port of reform by all of its friends; and with the disappearance of opposition which must inevitably follow its better under standing, the execution of the civil service law cannot fail to ultimately answer the hopes in which it had its origin. 1 Signed!

About 4 o'clock this morning the watchman discovered fire in the second Btory of the six-story shoe factory of Kreppendorf, Dittman & Co., situated on tha northeast corner of Syca more and New street. The names spread rapidly to the upper stories, while the heat was intense, and great was tho contest to subdue them. Tho firemen succeeded, however, after almost impossible work. Every glass in the large shoe factory of Blaker, Gerstle & Co., one hundred feet away, was broken by the neat, and tne win dow frames were scorched and almost on fire, but by constant watchfulness the build inr was saved. I The factory was one of the largest and best equipped in tne country, it was en gaged in the manufacture of a fine quality of womens' shoes. It had the best and most expensive machinery, valued at $100,000. The building was put up especially for the purpose two years ago, at a cost of $70,000. The stock and manufactured goods on hand were inventoried a few days ago at $140,000. The loss on everything is total. making a loss of $310,000. Tho insurance altogether amounts to $161,000. The em ployes who are thrown out of employment are 5,500, of whom 850 are women and girls, i The origin of the fire is a mystery. There was no fire in the building. The workmen were on the second floor as late as 1 o'clock this morning. WISCONSIN. Tbe Labor Party Nominations tor State Officers No Fusion wltb tbe Two Old Parties.
