HOME NEWS. 
Saturday, December 1,1888. 
After more than two weeks’ crimination 
and recrimination the convention of the 
Knigrbts of Labor, at Indianapolis, came to an 
end last Wednesday. Powderly has been hav¬ 
ing bis own way in nearly everything. 
Barry, his chief opponent, has been summari¬ 
ly bounced; but mainly on account of his per¬ 
sistent charges of wastefulness and dishonesty 
in the expenditures of the chief officers, a 
committee has been appointed to investigate 
the accounts. Two years ago the order had 
a balance of $119,715 in its treasury, but the 
Knights were in debt at the opening of the 
convention. Afterward several assemblies 
generously made advances to enable the order 
to pay the traveling expenses of the delegates. 
Expenses and salaries are to be cut down 
sharply, but Powderly is to retain his present 
salary of $5,000 a year, though he says 
he will take only $3 000. Powderly will 
be again General Master Workman. The 
General Executive Board has bern reduc¬ 
ed from seven to five members, including the 
General Master Workman. The other four 
members were elected by the General 
Assembly from a list of eight pres nted by the 
Master Workman himself. The bolters 
are trying to form a union with a rival 
body which, within a few years, has be¬ 
come far more powerful—the Federation of 
Labor. It is a federation of the leading trades 
unions of the country, and it has a mem¬ 
bership of 700.000, or more than three times 
the strength of the Powderly organization, 
with a solid treasury and regular revenues. 
Its officers do not enjoy high-sounding titles, 
arbitrary powers, or large salaries, and it has 
no system of secret ceremonies Each of the 
trades belonging to it has full control of its 
own affairs, and all of them cooperate in 
business of general concern. The new 
organization displays much more moderation 
than the Knights have ever done. .. ..The 
suit by N. Y. State against the Sugar Trusts, 
or rather one of its members, with the object 
of breaking up the monopoly has been going 
on slowly for over a week. A suit of the same 
nature has just been begun by the Attorney- 
General of California, at San Francisco. 
The stories of the atrocities that are now com¬ 
ing from Alaska are almost incredible. It 
is related that “a jug of rum” will buy a slave 
at any time, and that “little maidens, 14 or 15 
years of age,” are torn from their mothers, 
taken to mining camps or military 
garrisons and there terribly treated. 
Jack Frost has at last routed Yellow Jack 
at Jacksonville. There will no doubt be a 
few deaths among those already sick; but it 
is hardly likely that there will be any more 
new cases. Hitherto 4,677 people have b-m 
attacked and 408 have died or nearly an 
average of one out of 11, which is about a fair 
average in ordinary types of yellow fever. 
As the summer population of Jacksonville is 
ordinarily only about 10,000, about half of 
them were attacked. There was a regular 
rush, however, in the early days of the 
plague, so that only a small majority 
of the stay-at-homes and couldn’t-get-aways 
escaped. There are only about 20 cases 
within the city limits.It is 
said that Jay Gould and others are pre¬ 
paring to put the greater part of western 
railway business into the hands of a great 
trust.The Chinese lepers in British 
Columbia have communicated leprosy to the 
Indians, and it is not expected that or the 40, 
000 Red-men now in the Province 5,000 will 
survive in a quarter of a century. The offi¬ 
cials have been culpably negligent in the mat¬ 
ter, fearing that the agitation would turn 
aside the tide of immigration from Europe... 
The indications at present are that thecoming 
inaugural procession will exceed in numbers 
and display anything of the kind ever 
witnessed. General Axline, Adjutant-Gen¬ 
eral of the Ohio National Guard; Colonel 
Gedney and other members of the Ohio militia, 
are in Washington looking for quarters for 
their troops. The Ohio National Guard has 
never been represented heretofore at an inaug¬ 
uration, but it is proposed to send a brigade of 
2,500 men, composed of every arm of the service, 
to General Harrison’s inauguration.^ 
The agent of the Society for the Prevention of 
Cruelty to Animals in Philadelphia, recently 
commenced action against Prof. Gleason, the 
horse-trainer, who was giving exhibitions 
there, claiming that his methods were cruel 
and barbarous. When the case was called 
the court-room was crowded with prominent 
men and horse-owners, all of whom were in 
sympathy with and supporters of Gleason’s 
system. Quite a number of witnesses were ex¬ 
amined on each side, when it became apparent 
to all that the society had no case. The magis¬ 
trate then decided in favor of the defendant, 
adding. “It is evident that Prof Gleason’s 
method of breaking is not only a blessing to 
horses, but also to mankind.”. 
Estimates of the number of dogs in the United 
States fix it at 20,000,000, and their cost of 
keeping at $200,000.000.It is report¬ 
ed that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company 
has organized a corporation, with a capital 
stock of $6,000,000, to build a line of a dozen 
large steamships, with a capacity of 3,000 tons 
each, six to carry freight and six to carry 
both freight and passengers, to run between 
Duluth, Minn., and Buffalo, N. Y. 
Two car loads of rice direct from Japan were 
brought into St. Paul by the Manitoba R. R. 
last week. This is the first shipment of rice 
from an Asiatic point to the United States. 
The rice came from Japan to Vancouver by 
vessel, Canadian Pacific to Winnipeg, 
and thence to St. Paul. 
By the report of the United States Treasurer, 
it appears 'that the surplus taxation of the 
people for the fiscal year of 18S8 reached the 
great total of $111,341,273, while the Treasury 
balance was increased from $69,000,000 to 
$120,000,000.Gen John M. Palmer 
of Illinois, Democratic candidate for Governor 
in the last campaign, has asked for and re¬ 
ceived an honorable discharge from the Grand 
Army, on the ground that the order has been 
perverted to political purposes, contrary to 
its constitution. There is a great deal of talk 
of starting a fresh organization of the kind 
composed of Democratic members; but the 
movement will probably be confined to talk.. 
.The report that James G. Blaine is 
a bout to become the editor of the American 
Magazine is creating lively talk among pub¬ 
lishers and local politicians in New York. 
The managers of the magazine will neither 
admit nor deny the truth of the report. 
Michael Henry Herbert, now Charge 
d’ Affaires of the British legation at Washing¬ 
ton, and Leila Belle Wilson, daughter of R. 
T. Wilson, a very wealthy retired merchant 
of New York, were married Tuesday. 
Henry George has quite a colony of land-tax 
men in North Dakota, who will strive to have 
their views incorporated in the constitution 
when the Territory is admitted as a State 
.... Democrats of the Alabama Legislature 
Friday nominated United States Senator 
John T. Morgan to be his own successor from 
March 4 This is his third nomination_... 
Jay-Eye-See, the famous trotter, the other 
day cut his foot with a piece of glass in 
the pasture at Racine, Wis., and nearly 
bled to death. His recovery is doubt¬ 
ful. He is valued at $50,000. 
William J. O’Gonnor, the Toronto oarsman, 
defeated John Teemer of McKeesport. Pa., 
holder of the oarsman championship of Amer¬ 
ica, in a three-mile race on the Potomac River 
opposite Washington, Saturday. O’Connor's 
time was 20m 33s and Teemer’s about 25 sec¬ 
onds slower.The Pope has instructed 
Cardinal Gibbons to congratulate Mr. Harri¬ 
son on his election to the Presidency. 
The first Democrat to be elected to a State 
office in Iowa—Railroad Commissioner Dey 
—ran 33,000 votes ahead of his ticket,|and this 
was wholly due to opposition from the rail¬ 
roads.“Bob” Taylor, Democrat, is 
Governor of Tennessee; “Alf” Taylor, Repub¬ 
lican, is the Congressman-elect from that 
State; the father of these brothers ran on the 
Prohibition ticket and is a private citizen.... 
In spite of prohibitory legislation nearly 
20,000 contract laborers are reported to have 
been imported into this country during the 
past year. The Treasury Department purposes 
to adopt special measures for enforcing the 
la w.by the vigorous prosecution of all who may 
violate it.It is believed that during 
the coming session, the Canadian Parliament 
will pass an Anti-Chinese bill for which Brit¬ 
ish Columbia is very urgent. During October 
the unprecedented number 240 Chinese land¬ 
ed at Vancouver, and it is thought that two- 
thirds of them will reach the United States 
owing to the unprotected state of the frontier. 
.A young farmer named Stewart 
Christie, while driving to Elgin, Ill., with 
Mrs. John Kenyon, his mother-in-law, 
on Monday was struck by a Chicago, 
Milwaukee and St. Paul train and killed. 
Mrs. Kenyon was dangerously hurt. ... 
Owing to the failure of the Sioux Commission 
to make satisfactory arrangements with the 
Indians for opening the great Dakota reserva¬ 
tion, it is proposed to take the land summar¬ 
ily and pay the Indian owners the price offer¬ 
ed by the Commissioners—or even $1 25 an 
acre—leaving to each Indian a half section of 
land in severalty instead of the land being in 
common as it is now. A bill to this effect 
will most likely be introduced at the coming 
session by Congress. It is said that whites 
know what is best for the Indians better 
than the Indians themselves_ ....Gen. 
Scofield says there were 2,436 deserters from 
our little army during the year. During the 
past five years the average of desertions has 
been considerably over one in ten... 
A company has been formed in Detroit, Mich., 
to tunnel under the Detroit river. 
Mr. I. V. Williamson, of Philadelphia, pro¬ 
poses to give a minimum sum of $5,000,000 for 
the endowment of a great mechanical school 
for boys. It is probable that the amount will 
ultimately reach $12,000.000. His choice of 
location is Philadelphia, though several ot her 
points in Penn, have been mentioned. He 
has selected a Board of Trustees composed of 
prominent citizens of Philadelphia, and being 
over 80 years old, he proposes to make over 
the whole responsibility to them. Senator 
Leiand Stanford’s endowment of the Califor¬ 
nian University amounts to about $20,000,000; 
Peabody’s benefactions divided among relig¬ 
ious and philanthropic objects amounted to 
about, $6,000,000, so that Mr. Williamson’s will 
probably be the second largest public gift ever 
made to a single eductional purpose 
New-physical-force Keely having been jailed 
for comtempt of court, got bailed out, and 
then organized a new company including 
most of the stock-holders in the old ones. 
This has harmonized all contending interests 
and Keely got $200,000 worth of stock with 
which to settle up old dehts and start afresh 
in developing his mysterious “force.”....

FOREIGN NEWS. 
Saturday, December, 1, 1888. 
While all the European powers have 
“Peace’.’ loudly on their lips, they have 
“War” hopefully or apprehensively in their 
hearts. English Admirals insist that Great 
Britain must have a fleet six times as great as 
any other nation, and approoriations for new 
iron-clads, fast, “protected” war ships and 
naval torpedoes are urgently demanded. 
France is pushing ahead naval construction 
day and night in all her navy-yards, and is 
now not far behind England in maritime 
force. Of late Italv, although staggering 
under an enormous load of debt, has been 
spending prodigious sums on iron-clads and is 
now constructing three of the largest and 
most formidable monsters afloat. Germany 
is about to raise loans amounting to 117,000,000 
marks (nearly $40,000,000,) to construct war 
vessels enough to make the Fatherland as 
powerful at sea as it ought to be in view of 
its vast power on land. Russia is energetically 
adding to her fleet both in the Baltic and 
Black Seas, while Spam, Austria, and even 
Greece are adding hastily to their naval 
forces. At no time in the world’s history has 
so much activity prevailed in European navy- 
yards as at present. 
“Why should a man whose blood is warm 
within his veins sit like his grandsire carved 
in alabaster?” He shouldn’t. He should 
stir around and make something of himself. 
One of the best ways of doing this is to engage 
with B. F. Johnson & Co., Richmond, Va.—

The Twenty-Second Annual Meeting of the 
Ohio State Horticultural Society is to be held 
at Troy, Ohio, Wednesday, Thursday, and 
Friday, December 12, 13, and, 14 1888.. 
It is understood that the Canadian Govern¬ 
ment will not accede to the petition of Mon¬ 
tana ranchmen asking it either to with¬ 
draw or modify the 90 days’ quarantine on 
cattle coming into Canada.The 
Commissioner of Agriculture has appointed a 
Commission consisting of Professor William 
H. Welch, of Johns Hopkins University; Dr. 
E. O. Shakespeare, of Philadelphia, and Pro¬ 
fessor T. J. Burrill, of the University of 
Illinois, to investigate the subject of swine 
diseases in the United States and the methods 
of their treatment and prevention. 
—It is stated that foreigners who are farming 
land in Poland have been ordered to quit the 
country, foreign Jews within 28 days from 
the date on which they receive the notice. 
.The quantity of oleomargarine produced 
from November 1, 1886, the day on which 
the law took effect, to June 30, 1888, was 56, 
020,154 pounds: tax was paid on 53,232,734; ex¬ 
ported, 2,410,730 pounds; lost or destroyed, 
60,790 pounds. There were 1,575,293 pounds 
of oleomargarine in the United states June 
30, last, of which 315,900 pounds were in the 
hands'of manufacturers,259.393 pounds in the 
hands of wholesale dealers, and 1,000,000 
pounds (estimated) in the hands of retail 
dealers. The Commissioner of Internal Rev¬ 
enue says the falling off in the number of 
special tax-payers may be partly due to 
fraud.Pluero-pneunioniais raging among 
the cattle of Orange County N. Y. (Several 
farmers have lost all or a part of their herds 
and the disease is spreading. Government in¬ 
spectors are busily examining the various 
herds and are paying $15 a head for diseased 
animals and full value for the others of the 
herd. .. The potato crop in the vicinity of the 
Evansville, lud., is reported to be the largest 
ever known there, and prices are ruling from 
twenty-five to thirty-five cehts a bushel, while 
in Southern Illinois they are selling as low 
as fifteen cents a bushel.The ses¬ 
sion of the National Grange has closed as 
Topeka, Kan. Col. Joseph H. Bringbam 
of Ohio, was elected Grand Master, and Leon¬ 
ard Rhone of Pennsylvania was selected to 
fill the vacancy in the executive committee. 
A resolution was passed recommending Con¬ 
gress to appropriate money for a deep-water 
harbor on the northwest coast of the Gulf of 
Mexico. A resolution urging that United 
States Senators be elected directly by the 
people was passed, as was also the 
resolution advocating pure food . . 
What a rampant youthful blizzard was that 
which swept over the Atlantic States Sunday 
and Monday last! It caused a world of 
suffering aud many heavy losses on land and 
sea. It appears to have been especially 
disastrous to farmers aud market gardeners; 
ruining or greatly damaging outstanding 
crops, and “trucking” stuff. Orchardists also 
suffered severely. Thousands upon thousands 
of barrels of apples were ruined by frost, and 
the loss in this line appears to have been es¬ 
pecially severe in Niagara County and other 
parts of Western New York. There are 
fresh reports of a big Milling Trust in the 
Northwest, whose object it is to cut down the 
price of wheat, on the pretext that the crop 
there is heavier than was estimated. 
Cvoys & iRUriicts. 
Saturday, December 1, 1888. 
With regard to this market, receivers of 
poultry who have been sta iding out for high 
E rices had a hard time of it on Wednesday. 
•elayed aud fresh invoices poured in from 
every direction, and there was the worst glut 
that has been seen on the west side in a long 
while. To get what they could, as concerns 
prices, only was thought of, aud turkeys were 
sold as low as eight cents and to 15 cents. 
Farmers are dissatisfied with the current 
market rates on beans and forward their hold¬ 
ings very moderately. Prices here are hard¬ 
ening, with Marrows at $2.25, aud mediums at 
$1.90 to $1 95. 
The butter market has been rather wild, 
with hardly any two dealers quoting alike, 
because they could get almost any price for 
strictly fancy stock. Elgin was jobbed at 39 
to 40 cents, a clean advance of four cents per 
pound since Monday. Pennsylvania cream¬ 
ery jumped to 37 to 38 and State tubs to 34 
to 35 cents. In fact, on all table grades there 
has been a rise of three to four cents per 
pound, as brought about by scant offerings 
and the Western advices of l’ght shipments 
forward. 
The Voice. 
Those who overtax the voice in singing or 
public speaking will find “ Brown’s Bron¬ 
chial Troches ” exceedingly useful, enabling 
them to endure more than ordinary exertion 
with comparative ease, while they render ar¬ 
ticulation clear. For Throat Diseases and 
Coughs they are a simple yet effective remedy. 
Containing nothing injurious, they may be 
used as often as required, and will not disor¬ 
der the stomach like cough syrups and bal¬ 
sams. For forty years they have been recom¬ 
mended by physicians, and widely used, being 
known all over the world as one of the few 
staple cough remedies. Sold only in boxes.
