Ask him whether life is worth livincr. Ho will 'aurli in vour faoo an 1 sa, "Yn, yes, yns !" Hero is a man who has conw to tho forties. Ho is at tho tiptop of the hill of lif. Everv step has boon stttmblo and a bruise. Tho peoplo ho trusted havo turned out dosnrters. an I tho mouoy ho has honestly ma lo ho has been choatod out o. His nerves are out of tune. Ho ha? poor appetite, and till tho tool h rio!-' eat do-s not assimilate. Forty mil"s .- limbing up tho hill of lifo havo been to him liko climbing the Matterhorn, anl tliero aro forty miles yet to go down, anil descent is always moro dangerous than ascent. Ask him whether lift! is worth liviuir, an I ho will drawl out hi shivering and lui;ubrioU3 and ajipallin; ni'irative, "So, no. -no !' How are we to decido this matter rig'ut ootisly and iut"lliu'ently? You will find the same man vaeillal inr. oscillating in his opin ion from dejection to exuberance, and if he I o very mercurial in his tomper.iment it will depend very liiuc'i upon which wav the wind blows. If tho wind blow from tho northwest, and you ask him, ho will S'iy, "Yes." and if it blow from tho northeast, and you ask him, ho will say "No." How aro we, then, to Ket tho tj :.estion righteously answered? .Suppose wo call all nations to gether in a Krcat convention on eastern or western hemisphere an I let all those who aro in tho aftlfmativ.) say "Aye," anl all those who aro in tho no.itivo say "No." While there would be hundreds of thou sands who would answer in tho affirmative, tliero would bo moro millions who would answer in tho nj-titiv.', anl beams oi the greater number who havo sorrow and mis fortune and trouMe tho "ilO 5S ' would h.1V3 if. The answer I shall ijiv-i will bo different from either, and yet it will commend itself lo all who hear me this day as tho riu;ht an swer. If you ask me, "Is lifo worth living?' I answer, it till depeuls upon tho kinl oflifo you live. Ia tho first place, I remark that a lifo of mere money 'ottiti is always a failure, bo eauso you will U"ver K-'t as mujh as you want. The poorest people in this country are tho richest, an 1 tho next to thorn those who aro half as rich. There Is not a scis sors grinder on the streets of New York or Urooklyu who is so anxious to make money as thesa men who have piled up fortunes year alter year in storehouses, in govern ment securities, in tenement houses, In whole city blocks. You ou-c'iit to so them jump when they hear the lirebell rin. You ou:?at to see them in their excitement when so:ne bank explo les. Y'ou oicdit to soo thoir agitation when there is propossl a reformation in the tariff. Their nerves tromblo liko harp strings, but no music in tho vibration. They read tho reports from Wall street in tho morning with a concernment that threatens paralysis or apoplexy, or, more probably, they havo a telegraph or a telephone in their hctis-. so they cut eh every breath of change i: the money market. Tho disease of accu mulation has eaten into th?iu satou into heir heart, into thoir lungs, into their spleen, into their liver, into their bones. Chemists have sometimes analyzed the hu man I o ly. and they say it is so much m:ig u"si:i, so much lime, so much chlorato of po tassium. If some Christian chemist would analyze one of these liuaueial behemoths, i.a would flud ho is male up of copper audgold and silver and zinc and leal and coal and iron. That is not a lifo worth living. There are too many earthquakes in it, too many agonies in it, too many perditions in it. Thoy build their castles, and thoy open their pict ure galleries, and they summon prima dou uis, and they oiler every inducement for happiness to come find live there, but happi uoss will not come. They send foottuanned anil postillionod pquipuge to bring her ; sho will not ride to tnetr door. They sen I princely osoort ; sha will not tako their arm. They make thoir gateways triumphal arches ; she will not ride under thorn. They set a golden throne before u golden plato ; sho turns away from tho banquet. They call to her from up holstered balcony ; she will not listen. Mark you, this istho failure of those who havo had largo accumulation. And then you must tako into consideration that tho vast majority of those who makotho dominant idea of lifo money getting fall far short of affluence. It is estimated that only about two out of a hundred business men havo anything worthy the name of success. A mau who spen Is his life with one domi nant idea of llnnnciul accumulation spends u life not worth liviug. So tho idea of worldly approval. If that bo dominant in a man's life, ho is miserable. Tho two most un'ortunato men in this coun try for tho six mouths of next presidential campaign will bo tho two men nominated for tho presidency. The reservoirs ot abuso and diatribe and malediction will gradually till up. gallon above gallon, hogshead above hogshead, and about autumn these two reser voirs will bo brimming full, and a hoso will be attached to each one, and it will play away ou these uominees, and they will have to stand it and take the abuse, and the false hooJ, and the caricature, and the anathema, and tho caterwauling, and the filth, and they will be rolled in it and rolled over and over in it until they aro choked and submerged nud strangulated, and at every sign of re luming consciousness they will be barked t by till the houuds of political parties from ocean to ocean. And yet there tire a hundred men to-day struggling for that privilege, and there aro thousands of men who aro Helping them in l he struggle. Now. that is not a lifo worth liviug. Ycucauget slandered and abused cheaper than that ! Take it ou a smaller scale. Do not bo so ambitious to havo n whole reservoir rollo 1 over on you. But what you see in the matter of high politi cal proferment you see in every com munity in the struggle for what Is called social positlou. Tens of thousands of people trying to get into that realm, and they aro under terrific tension. "What is social position? It is a diftloult thing to define, but we all kuow what it is. Good morals and intelligence are not necessary, but wealth or the show ot wealth is absolutely indispensable. Thero aro men to-day as uoiorious for their liber 'inlsm as thenisrht is famous for its dark ness who move in what Is ealled high social position. There are hundreds of out and out rakes in American society whoa1 n mes are mentioned among the distinguished guests at the great levees. They havo iwmexed all the known human rices and aro longing for other worlds of dlabollsnWo conquer. Goo 1 morals are not necessary in many of the cx? alfod circles of society. Neither is intelligence necessary. You find in that realm men who would not know an adverb from nn adjective if they rn? It a hundred times a day and who could not writea letter of acceptance or resrets without the aid of a secretary. They buy their libraries by the square yard, only anxious to have the binding Russian. Their ignorance is posi tively sublime, making English grammar al most disreputable, and yet the finest parOH open before them. Goo l morals and In telligence are not necessar?. bnt wealth or a show of wealth is positively indispensable. It does not make nny difference how you got your wealth If you only get it. The best way for you to get Into social position is for you to buy a large amount on credit, then put your property in your wife's name, have a few preferred creditors and then make an assignment. Then disappear from the com munity until the breeze is over and then come bacV id start in the same business. Do you 'ic .ee how beautifully that will put out ' . -o people who are in competition with j.'ti and trying to make an honest liv ing? How quickly It will get you into high nocial position ! "What is the use of forty or fifty years ot hard work when you can by two or three bright strokes make a great fortune? Ah, my friends, when you really tose your money how quick they will let yoa drop, and the higher yoa get tho harder yoa will drop. There ore thousands to-lay in that realm who are anxious to keop in it. There are thousands in that realm who are nervous lor fear they will fall out of it, and there aro jhanges going on every year and every month and every hour which involve heart breaks that are never reported. High social life Is constantly in a flutter about the deli cate question ns to whom they shall let in and whom they shall push out, and the bat tle Is going on pier mirror against pier mir ror, chandelier against chnndelier, wino cel lar against wine cellar, wardrobe against wardrobe, equipage against equipage. Un certainty and insecurity dominant in that realm, wretchedness enthroned, torture at a premium and a life not worth living. A life of bId, a life of pride, a life of indul gence life of world!ness,a life devoted to the rf-orld, the fl;h and the devil is a failure, a dead failure, an Infinite failure. I care not how many presents you sent to that cradle, or how many garlands you send to that Trnve, you need to put rignt underthe namo on the tombstone this inscription, "Better for that man if ho had never been born." But I shall show you a life that is worth living. A young man says : "I am hero. I am not responsible for my ancestry. Others decided that I am not responsible for my temperament ; God gave me that. Bat here I am, in the afternoon of the nineteenth cen tury, at twenty years of age. I am here, and I must take au account of stock. Here I have a body which is a divinely constructed engine. I must put it to tho very best uses and I must allow nothing to damage this rarest of maohinery. Two foot, and they mean locomotion. Two eyes, and thoy mean capacity lo pick out my own way. Twc aars, and they are telephones of oommunica tion with all the outside world, ani they mean capacity to catch sweetest music anl tho voices of frien Iship tho very best music. A tongue, with almost infinity of articula tion. Yes. hands with which to welcome or resist or lift or smite or wave or bless hands to help myself and help others. "Here is a world which, after 690) years of battling with tempest and accident, is still graudor than any architect, human or an gelic, could have drafted. I havo two lamps to light mo a golden lamp and a silver lamp a golden lamp set on the sapphire mantel of tho day, a silver lamp sot on tho jet mantel of the night. Yea, 1 havo that at twenty years of age which defies all in ventory of valuables a soul withcap-icity to choose or reject, to rejoice or to suffer, to love or to hate. Tlato says it is immorta', Seneca says it is immortal. Confucius says it is Immortal. An old book among the fam ily relics, a book with leathern cover almost worn out and pages almost obliterated by oft perusal, joins the other books in saying I am immortal. I have eighty j-ears for a lifetime, sixty years yet to live. I may not live an hour, but then I must lay out my plans intelligently and for a long lite, Sixty years ad dod to the twenty I .have already lived that will bring me to eighty. I must remember that those eighty years are only a brief preface to . tho live hundred thousand millions of quiutillious of years which will bo my chief residence and existence. Now I understand my opportunities and my re sponsibilities. "If there is any being in tho universe all wise and all beneficent who can help a man in such a juncture, I want him. Tiie old book found among the family relics tolls me there is a God, and that for the sake of His Son. one Jesu3, He will give he p to a man. To Him I appeal. God help me! Here I have yet sixty years to do for myself and to do for others. I must develop this body by all industries, by tl;i gymnastics, by all sun Bhine, by all fresh air, by all good habits. And this soul I must have swept and garn ished and illumined and gloriflsd by all that I can do for it and all that I can get God to do for it. It shall be a Luxemburg of f'ne pictures. It shall bo au orchestra of grand harmonies. It shall be a palaeo for Go i and righteousness to reign in. I wonder how many kind words I can utter in the next sixty years. I will try. I wonder how many good deeds I can do in the next sixty years? I will try. God help me !" That young man entera life. He is buffeted; he is tried; he is perplexed. A gravO opens on this side, and a grave opens on that side. He falls, but ho rises again. He gets into a hard battle, but he gets the victory. The main course of his life is In tho right direction. He blesses everybody ho comes In contact with. God forgives hi3 mistakes and makes everlasting record of his holy endeavors, and at the close of it God says to him, "Well done, good and talthful servant; enter into the joys of thy Lord." My brother, my sister, I do not care whether that man dies at thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy or eighty years of age. You can chisel right under his name on tho tombstone these words : "His life was worth living." Amid the hills of New Hampshire in olden times there sits a mother. There are six children in the household- four boys ami two girls. Small farm. Very rough ; hard work to coax a living out or It. Mighty tug to make the two ends of thoyear mset. The boys go to school in winter and work the fr rm in summer. Mother is the chief pre siding spirit. With her hands she knits all the stockings for the little foet, and sho is tho mantua maker for the boys, and she 13 the milliner for the girls. There is only oue musical instrument in the house the spin ning wheel. The food 3 very plain, but it is always well provided. Tho winters are very cold, but aro kept out by the blankets she quilted. On Sunday, when she appeare in tho village church, her children around her, the minister looks down and is remind ed of the Bible description of a good house wife : "Her children arise up and call her blessed. Her husband also, and he praiseth her." Same years go by, and the two eldest boys want a collegiate education, and the house hold economics are ssverer, and the calcula tions are closer, and until those two boys get their education there is a hard battle for bread. One of these boys onters the univer sity, stands in a pulpit widely influential and preaches righteousness, judgment aad temperance, rtnd thousani3 during his min istry aro blessed. The other lad who got tho collegiate education goes into tho law, and thence into legislative halls, and after a while he commands listening senates as ho makes a plea for the downtrodden and the outcast. One otthe younger boys becomes ti merchant, starting at the foot of the la. der, but climbing on up until his success and his philanthropies arerecognizod all over tho hind. Tho other son stays at home becausa he prefers farming life, and then he thinks he will be able to tako care of father and mothi r when thoy get old. Of the two daughters, when the war broke out one went through the hospital of Pitts burg Landing and Fortn-ss Monroe, cheer ing up the dying And homesick, and taking the last message to kindred far away, so that everv time Christ thought of her He said, ns of old, "The same is My sister and mother." The other daughter has a bright home of her own, anfl iu tho afternoon of the forenoon when sh has been devoted to her household she goes forth to hunt up the sick and to encourage tho discouraged", leaving smiles t-l benediction all along the way. But one duy there start five telegrams, from the village for these five absent ones, spying, "Come ; mother is dangerously ill." But be fore they can be ready to start they receive another telegram, saying, "Come ; mother is dead." The old neighbors gather in the old. farmhouse to do the last offices of respect. But as that farming son, and the clergyman, and tho senator, and the merchant, and the two daughters stand by the casket of tho dead mother, taking the last look or lifting their little children to see once mort. the face of dear old grandma, I want to ask tb.it group around the casket one question, "Do you really think h er life wus worth liv ing?" A life for Qod. a lire for others, a life of unselfishness, a useful life, a Chris tian life, is always worth living. I would not find it hard to persuade yoa that the poor lad. Peter Cooper, making glue for a living and then amassing a great for tune until he co aid build a philanthrophy which has had its echo in 10,000 philanthro pies all over the country I would tot find It hard to persuade you that his life was worth living. Neither would I find it hard to persuade you that the life of Susannah Wesley was worlh livin?. She sent out one son to organize Methodism and the other son to ring his anthems all through the ages. I would not find it hard to persuade you that the life of Frances Leere was worth living, as she established In England a school for the self atiflc nursing of the sick, and then when :he war broke out between France and Germany wont to the front, and with her own hands scraped tho mud off the bodies of the soldiers dying in- the trenches with her weak arm, standing one night in the hosptta', pushing back a Ger man soldier to his couch as, all frenzied with his wounds, he rushed toward the door and said : "Let me go ! Let me go to my 'liebe mutter.' " Ma Jor-Geaerals standing back to let pass this angel of mercy. Neither would I have hard work to per suade you that Grace Darling lived a life worth living the heroine of tho lifeboat. You are not wondering that tho Duchess of Nort humberland oame to see her, and that people of all lands asked for her lighthouse, and that the proprietor of tho Adelphl The atre, in London, offered her $100 a night just to sit in the lifeboat while some ship wrecked scene was being enacted. But I know the thought in the minds ot hundreds who read this. You say, "While I know all these lived lives worth living, I don't think my life amounts to much." Ah, my friends, whether you live a life con spiclous or inconspicuous, it is worth living if you live aright. And I want my next sen tence to go down into the depths of all your souls. You are to bo rewarded, not according to the greatness of your work, but according to the holy industries with which you employed the talents you really possessed. The majority of the crowns of heaven will not be given to people with ten talents, for most ot them were tempted only to serve themselves. The vast majority of tho crowns of heaven will bo given to people who had oue talent, but gave it all to God. And remember that our life hero is introductory to another. It is the vestibulo to a palace, but who despises the door of the Madeleine because there are grander glories within? Your life if rightly lived is the first bar of an eternal oratorio, and who despises the first note of Haydn's symphonies? And the life you live now is all the more worth living because it opens Into a life that shall never end, and tho last letter of the word "time" is tlia first letter of the word "eternity ! " PK0MINENT PEOPLE. Vic roniA has been on tho British throua fi(ly-s:x years. The German Empsror is now titular com mander of seventeen regiments.

When it comes to costly toys tho latest present to the boy king of Spain may be said to cap the climax. It is nothing less than an Infant Regiment, comprising 400 warri ors, ranging in ago from live to eight years. This is indeed teaching tho young idea how to shoot. A fretty incident occurred to Mrs. Cleve land while driving to tho postoffico at Buz zard's Bay, Mass.

The trick Is to arrange these numbers on the card so that the resu t will bo thirty-four, no matter which way you add them. The puzzle came from Chicago, and tho fever of trying to solve it has taken hold of nearly every member of the Senate. Even Mr. Stevenson drops his gavel intotbe hands of a Senator and retires to the palatial Vise President's room to try his hand at the puzzle. The eloak and retiring rooms sre llile.l with Senators busy at work on the cardboard and five figures. Senator Davis, of Minn ?sota, did it in the shortest time, with Higgins, of Delaware, a close second. In ffict. the Republican side of the chamber e.itae out far ahead of the Democratic side.

Iu a Communication to Chairman "Wilson He Urged the House to Re ject the Senate Amendments, Placing Iron, Coal and Other Raw Material on the Dutiable List. The tariff fight at Washington took an almost unparallelod and decidedly sensa tional turn in tho House of Represent a tires, when the President came out in a letter to Chairman Wilson with a strong in dorsement of the principles followed out in tho Hottso bill. The Presi dent's action ia practically without precedent and his inferential attack on tho -!icy pursued in the Senato caused tho greatest excitement. In tho House his utter ances wero received with enthusiasm by tho Democratic majority, and the reading of tho letter was interrupted frequently with ap- pl'USO. Every seat in the galleries was occupied, and there was not a vacant chair on tho floor, so Intense was the interest in tho bat tle lor low tariff and froo raw materials. Chairman Wilson showed tho signs of his recent severe illn-ss. Ho. looked tbln and nervous. . Alout his face was a large white bandage, which ho was compelled to wear, owing to a severe attack of neuralgia. Tho battle began the instant the Journal had been read. When Mr. Wilson arosa thero was a sudden and almost painful silence. He first handed in the conferees report, and then went on to mako an ex planation of the differences between the Senate and House. Mr. Wilson said "Mr. Speaker, I am in structed by tho majority ot the conferees on the part of tho nouse on the Tariff bill to make this report to tho House "The Conference Committee on the bill H. R.. 4Sfi4. after final, lull and frae confer ence, failed to agree. Tho Sonato conferees insist on their amendments to said bill and Houso conferees insist upon their disagree ment to the Senate amendments. "(Signel) W. L. Wilson, Benton Mc Millin, H. G. Turner. A. B. Montgomery, Conferees on tho part of tho House." Mr. Wilson then handed in tbo letter, which ho said had been addressed to him by tho Pr'Jbident, with permission to make public. Tho text of the letter was as follows : (Personal.") Executive Mansion, l Washington, July 2. 1834. ) To Hon. "William L. Wilson : My Deau Sia The certainty that a confer ence will be ordered between the two houses of Congress for the purpose of adjusting differences on tho suoject of tariff legisla tion makes it also certain that you will be again called upon to do hard service in the cause of tariff reform. My public life has been so closely related to the subject. I have so longed for its accomplishment and I have so often promised its realization to my tellow eountrymen as a result of theirtrust and con fidence in the Democratic party that I hopo no excuse is necessary for my earnest ap peal to you that in this crisis vou strenuously insist upon party honesty and good faith and a sturdy adherence to Democratic principles. I believe thoso aro absolutely necessary con ditions to tho continuation of Domocratio existence. I cannot rid myself of the feeling that this .mn ri.r.mi.u will npiftllh tho best. If nOtttlO only hope of true Democracy. IaJientious point to its action as tho roltance of thoso who desire the gemrn3 fruition of Demo cratic effort, tho fulfillment of Democratic pledges and tho redemption of Democratic promises to tho people. To reconcile differ ences in tho details comprised within tho fixed and well-defined lines of principle will not bo the solo task of tho conference, but. as it soems to me, its members will also hays iu charge the question whether Domocratio principles themselves are to bo saved or abandoned. Thero is no excuse for mistaking or mis apprehending tho feeling: an 1 the temper ot tho rank aud file of the Democracy. They are downcast underthe assertion that their party lails in ability to manage tho Govern ment, and they aro apprehensive that efforts to bring about tariff reform may fail ; but they aro much raon downcast and appre hensive in their fear that D miocratic princi ple may bo surrendered. In the3e circum stances they cannot do otherwise than to look with confidence to yo'i an 1 those who, with you, have patriotically and sincerely c hampioned the cause of tariff reform within Democratic lines and guided by Democratic principles. This confidence is vastly aug mented by tho action unler your loadorship of tho Houso of Repre sentatives upon tha bill now pend ing. Every true Democrat and every sin cere tariff reformer kuow3 that this bill, iu its present form and as it will be sn "omitted to tho conference, tall-- ::ir snort oi iuo ct.u summation for which wo have long labored, for which wo havo suffered defeat without discouragement, whie'a in its anticipation gave us a rallying cry in our day of triumph an t which in its protniso of accomplishment is so interwovoa with Pamocratic. pledges anl Djmocratic success that ourabanlon ment of tho causo or the principles upon which it rests inoan3 party perlllyauJ party dishonor. Ono topic will bo submitted lo tho con ference, which embodies Democratic princi ple so directly that it cannot bo compro mised. Wo havo in our platforms anl in everv way possible declared in favor of the froo importation of raw materials. Wo have ;i"aiu and again promised that this should bo accorded to our people and our manufac turers as soon as tho Democratic party was invested with tho power to determine the tariff policy of the country. Tho party now has that powtir. We are as certain to-day as wo havo ever been of tno great benefit that would accrue to tho coun try from the inauguration of this policy, nd noMiing has occurred to release us fro n our obligation to secure mis advantage to our people. It must be wdmitted that no tariff measure can accord with Democratic prin ciples and promises, or bear a genuine Dem ocratic badge, that does not provide forfreo raw materials. In thoso circumstances It may woll oxcito our wonder that Democrats aro willing to depart front this, tho most Domocratio oT all tariff principles, and that tho inconsistent absurdity of such a proposed departure should bs emphasized by tho suggestion that tho wool of the farmer be put ou tho froo list and the protection of tariff taxation bo placed around the iron ore and coal of cor porations and capitalists. How can wo face the peoplo after indu'ging in such outrage ous discriminations and violations of prin ciple It is quite apparent that thequestion of free raw material doss not admit ot ad justment on any middle grounds since their subjection to any rate of tarifftaxation. great or small, is alike violative of Democratic principleand Democratic good faith. I hope t'-.at you will not consider it intru sive if I say something in relation to an other subject which can hardly fail to be troublesome to the conference. I refer to the adiustm?nt of tariff taxation on suar. Under'onr party platform, and in accordance with our declared t arty purposes, sugar is a legitimate an 1 "logical articlo of rcv-nuo taxation. Unfortunately, however, incidents havo accomoanbed certain stages or the legislation Whioh will bo s.ubmitte.1 to the conference that have aroused in connection with this snbj-ct a natural Democratic animosity to th-t methods and manipulations ot trusts and combinations. I confess to sharing in this feeling ; and y it seems to me we ought, if possible, to sufficiently froo ourselves from prejudice to enable us coolly to wigh the considerations which, in formu lating tariff legislation, ought to guide our treatment of sugar as a taxable artic.e. While no tenderness should be entertained for trusts, and while I am decidedly opposed to granting them, under t'ud guise of tariff taxation, any opportunity to further thoir peculiar methods, I suggest that we ought not to be driven away from the Domocratio principle and policy which lead to the taxa tion of sugar by the fear, quite likely exag gerate:, that in carrying out this principle and policy we may indirectlyand inordinate ly encourage a combination of sugar-refining interests. I know that in present conditions this ia a delicate subject, and I ap preciate the depth and strength of the fool ing which, its treatment has aroused. I dp not believe wo should do evil that goo.i eomo, bnt it seems to mo that we should not forget that our aim to the completion of a tariff bill, and that in taxing sugar for prop er purposes and within reasonable boaads, whatever else mny be said of our action, wo are in no danger of running eouute toDera oerntii principle. With all tber. is at stake there must be in the treatment oi this article tome ground upon which wo nro willing to etnnd, where toleration and conciliation may be allowed to solve tb. pro'ilom without de manding tho entire siirrouder of llxod and conscient iou convictions. I ought not to prolong t hit letter. If whr.t I havo written 1 iinweleome, I beg you to -believe iu my good intentions. In the con clusions of tho conference touching tho numerous items which will b considered the people aro not afraid that thoir interests will be neglected. They know that the gen eral result, so far na they are :on eerncd, wil' bo to place home necessaries and comlort moro easily within their reach and to ciisuro bet ter and surer compensation to tboe who toiL. We all know that a tariff law cover all tho yariod interests anl conditions of a country as vast as ours must of neces sity be largly tho result of honorable adjustment and compromise. I expert very few of ns can say, when our meas ure is perfected, that all lis feature aro entirely as wo would prefer. You know how much I depreciate the in corporation in tne proposed biil of the 'aeomc-tax feature. In matters of this kin I. however, which do not violate a fixed an t recognized Democratic doctrine we aro will ing to defer to the judgment of a majority of our Democratic brethren. I think thero is a general agreement that this is party duty. This is more palpably apparent when we realize that the businessof our country tim idly stands and watches for the result of our efforts to perfect tariff legislation; that a quick and certain reform of prosperity wain upon a wise adjustment, and that aeoulbiiti ; people still trust in our hands their pro perlty ami well being. Tho Democracy of the land plead most earnestly for tho tpeedy completion of th tariff logislutio.i which their representatives have under taken ; but they demand not less earnestly that no stress of necessity sjiall tempt thoso they trust to the f.bandonmont of Democrat ic principle. Yours very truly, Guoveu Cleveland. The letter was received with applause at all the telling points by the Deniocrnts. aud with laughter by tho Republicans at thus.) passages which referred to existing embar rassments in tho Democratic party. At tin. conclusion ot the reading Mr. Rood rose to respond to Mr. Wilson, and was listened to with tho closest attention as ho criticised the President's course and tho suggestions he had made.- After brief remarks by Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Grey the motion of Mr. Wilson was agreed to, and Speaker Crisp reappointed Messrs. Wilson, McMilliu, Turner and Mont gomery, Democrats, and Messrs. Reed, Bur rows and Bayne, Republicans, members ol the conference ou the part of tho House. A BLOW AT CLEVELAND. Senator Gorman Slakes an Attack on the President, Tho accusation of "party perfidy" and "party dishonor," made by Mr. Clovolan 1 ia his colobratod lotter to Chairman Wilson, drew from Sonator Gorman, of Maryland, tho most savago rejoinder ever launched, perhaps, by u party loader in Congress against either a friendly er an opposition President. What makes it all tho moro re markable Is that tho Maryland Senator called at the Wliito Houso in tho morning and had a long interview with the President, nnd that he. went direct from the White Houso to the Senato Chamber and delivcro 1 his arraignment of tho man with whom he had just been talking. Thonttackwas personal, bilter, virulent. Ho called tho President a coward, accused bim of bad faith and duplicity nnd told him nud tho Houso of Representatives that they would havo to tako the Senate Tariff bill or l-i ( I 1 . n . . 11, I IJlkljS .... . Senator Gorman was roused at tunos al most to fury. Vesr, Harris and Jones, of Arkansas, had plauned tho attack in dra matic fashion. Gorman brought charge after charge against Cleveland, find vest, Harris and Jones sprang up ono after the other as Gorman called upon thorn and declared that every charge ho made was truo and that the Presi dent had put events in wrong lights. In tho ourse ot his speech Mr. Gorman said that Mr. Cleveland's action in criticising tho Sen ators for thoir tariff courso was "infamous.' Ho declared he was cognizant of all tho Senate amendments ami agroed to thom. He also declared that tho Presidont and Sec rotary Carlisle wero kept informed of tho proposed amendments and wero willing to accept them in order to pass tho bill. This statement was corroborated by Senators Vest, Jones nnd Harris. The uuwritton his tory of the conventions which nominate 1 Cleveland and of tho campaigns which followed was thon given with dramatic effect. The Maryland Sonator in his speech spared no ono who docs not agroo with his tariff views. He censured Senator Hill, of New York, for his course, as woll as several other Senators. In conclusion Mr. Gorman said: "Mr. Presidont. with our rules, this bill stands, as I think, in tho best ehape in which it is possible to get it to represent our views. I appeal to my colleagues on ihi3 side to stand ns we stood during all this long Krugglo in the Senate, to stand together with tho per fect knowledge that if wo do not tho bill is defeated. If my good friend from Now York, Mr. Hill, or tho Senator from Wisconsin, Sir. Vilas, succeeds and any Democrat may succeed by unit ing now with any other in amending tho bill you havo heard the declaration of enough Senators to know that you defeat it If the Senato amendments are not accepted this bill i3 dofoatol. You havo hoard enough Senators already to know that it is this bill or nothing." After the demonstration had subsided, Mr. White, of California, took the floor, and argued that from a Democratic standpoint thero was nothing to do but to adopt tho motion ot Mr. Gray, to insist on the Senato amendments and to agree to a further con ference. Tho adoption of the motion either of Mr. Hill or Mr. Vilas, he held, would re sult in the defeat of the measure and the per petuation of tho McKinley act. The question was put by the presiding of ficer, ou Mr. Hib's motion, when Mr. Coc!: rell moved to proceed to executive business. That motion was agree 1 lo, and. after a short executive session, tho Senate ad journed. TWO FATAL WRECKS. The Engineer Forgot Orders Acci dent iu Texas.
