Our Democratic friends made a credita ble parade last evening, barring the oc casional dropping out of the line of an in toxicated individual. There were lots of red fire and music and the cannon boomed right royally. But at Orange Square the affair assumed the form of a complete fizzle. The at tendance was not large, and the speech making did not partake of the “ rattling” proportions our esteemed cotemporary led its readers to believe would be the case. Mr. McClellan made a few remarks and then excused himself on account of sickness or of being “ otherwise indis posed.” The best speech was made by W. E. McCormick. Mr. Shimer was called for but called upon Thos. J. Lyon to respond. Mr. Lyon believed that the Democratic ticket would be elected and sat down. The whole affair ended by 9.30 o’clock and the lack of enthusiasm was apparent to every one present. THE DEAD ENGINEER HAGAN. Some Points in His Life—Had Been an .Engineer Ten Years.

The Company Meets to Iiieveawe its Capi tal StoeU Tt^ I’resent Stoelt !#1,000,- 000 TIu* OHieer-. of tlie Conipan.v. A special meeting of the Lehigh and Eastern Railroad Company was held June 1st at its office m Philadelphia to vote upon a proposition to increase the capital stock and thus provide funds for the completion of the road. The present stock capital is $1,000,000, but it has not been decided how much more was to be issued. The secretary of the company stated that the contracts for the construc tion of the road would be given out within a month and that the expectation was the line would be completed in a year. The line of the projected road extends from Tomhieken, in Luzerne county, to Matamoras, Pike county, directly across the Delaware river from Port Jervis, N, Y. This line was surveyed several years ago, the right of way secured and ten miles graded. Then the company became entangled in financial difficulties, was sold out and reorganized under the present name. B. F. Houseman is president of the company and the directors are H. M. Royal the secretary; Joseph A.Louchheim and Eugene Loeb, of Philadelphia ; J. W. Parks, Jacob Newberger and Silas W. Newberger, of New York. Mr. Royal stated that the new company pro posed to carry the plan through to completion, as the railroad, when built, will be the shortest line by forty miles from the anthracite coal fields to the north- It is expected that connection will be made at Tomhieken with the Pennsyl vania Railroad, and the line of route in tersects the Jersey Central, Lehigh Valley and Delaware, Lackawanna and Western, to all of which it would furnish a desir able line for the shipment of coal to the northeast. At Matamoras a bridge will be built across the Delaware riyer to connect with the Erie or some other road that will run to the Poughkeepsie bridge. This is the great object in building the road, as it is expected a large coal business will start up at once with interior New England points. The line as projected is only 100 miles long.— PlcUatklphia Inquirer. IT OUGH'T TO TAKE. Miss Budrose (getting vaccinated)—Do you think it will take, Dr. Montague ?

McHenry Paid t.lie Erie a Considcrahle Sum In the Settlement or H is Suit — Holder’s of Securities Wanted Their Douhts Removed. Rumors that the Erie Railroad was em barrassed financially have been frequent lately. It has been suggested that both bonds and stocks were selling too high and a recognized New York financial organ has stated positively that a new issue of bonds was contemplated. The argument seems to be that the fixed charges were not reduced at the last reorganization and that a default in the payment of interest on the second consols was imminent. The rumors have become so strong in the last few days, although they were rather anc ient, that large holders of the securities have begun to ask questions. The follow ing correspondence ought to settle the question once for a ll: N ew Y o r k , .June 14,1888. Jimi^KiNG, esq., Pres’tN . Y., L.

What does this Mills bill propose ? It gives free olive oil to the epicures and taxes castor oil 97 per cent.; it gives free tin plates to the Standard Oil company and to the great meat canning monopolies and imposes a duty of 100 per cent, on rice ; it gives the sugar trust free bone black and proposes prohibitory duties on grocery grades of sugar; it imposes a duty of 40 per cent, on the poor man’s blanket and only 30 per. cent, on the Ax- minster carpet of the rich ; it admits free of duty the fine animals imported by the gentlemen of the turf; makes free the paintings and statuary of the railway millionaire and coal baron.” — W.

The Republican National Committee met in Chicago Thursday at noon in their headquarters to settle the preliminaries for the National Convention. Hon. B, F. Jones presided. The proceedings were opened by Mr. Clarkson on behalf of the sub-committee of arrangements making a report concerning the plan of seating that had been adopted. The allotment of 300 more tickets to Chicago than the original 700 proposed gave rise to debate, and as a result the number of tickets for local dis tribution was decreased from 900 to 800, including those to be given the Mayor for distinguished guests. The matter of preparing a roll of the convention was motion of Mr. Conger referred to a sub committee of five to report to-morrow. Messrs. Conger, Fessenden, Leland, Hobart and Brownlow were appointed as the committee to prepare the roll. In speaking of Ihe^work of the conven tion John C. New said there would he no division of sentiment among the delegates as to the platform. “ It will give forth no uncertain sound,” said Mr. New, “ and it will appeal to the country from the standpoint of the sound doctrines of the Republican party.” m O B THREE CENTS A COBDEMTE ANSWERED ENBOtJTE TO CHICAGO.

There was a very lively scene at the Jersey City depot, and cheers rent the air as the special train of Pullman sleeping cars moved out. Many of the delegates were accompanied by their wives and daughters. The train was decorated with flxgs, and on each side of the cars was the inscription : ‘ ‘ Kings County Republican Delegates.” A TOMAHAWK UNEARTHED. John H.

THE TARIFF DEBATE BETWEEN .JARRETT AND SHEARMAN. Ml’. Jari’ett Deals in Good, H o m ely Illu s trations, as w e ll as in Figures, and Ruts the Quietus on H is Interrnptors. Congressman Scott’s Statement De- At a recent tariff debate in Brooklyn be tween Mr. Shearman and John Jarrett,the meeting was opened by Mr. Shearman who dealt sarcastically with the tariff, which he characterized as the god on wheels with a little g, and the fetish which the protectionists worshiped. The tariff was a restriction which should not be permited. He was a free trader •without any minning of words, and he objected to any regula- tioDS which stationed men with muskets and ships with guns along our borders and our coasts to prevent beople bringing wealth to us. It is not always the best policy to make ourselves everything that we need. Anything which stopped the exchange of goods interfered with the de- velopment of wealth. It levied beside an ijust tax upon the consumer whether the tax is paid to the government, or what is worse to the domestic manufacturer. The reason workmen here get better wages is because they produce more and better goods than the foreigners. (A voice :) “ Are you a member of the Cobden Club!” “ I am an honorary member.” Mr. Jarrett then proceeded with his speech, and said : “ With deference to Mr. Shearman I say that he should be sorry to admit that he belongs to such a club. It is an English club, and it is in my opinion imprudent that it should send about this country its tracts telling us what we should do. Free traders contin ually point to the period betjveen 1850 and 1860 when they desire to illustrate the value of their theory in this country. They forget that between 1860 and 1870 we passed through a war”—(A voice : “ You didn’t pass through it.”) Mr. Jarrett—Yes I did. I was through the war and I fought for my country as well as 1 knew how, and if you did I will for the memory of the past forgive your present interruptions. Did you fight ? No answer came and the hall rang with applause for Mr. Jarrett, who continued. Well, notwithstanding that war this country has between 1860 and the present increased more than all the world beside. The idea in protection is to foster indus tries that \ ’ould develop this country and which this tountry was well calculated to provide. It is a correct principle to de velop our resources in preference to pat ronizing those of any other country, even if it does cost more, always providing that that production results in higher wages to the workingmen,” A gentleman here arose from the audi ence and said : “ How is it, with ail your protection on your coal aud steel, that the miners in parts of Pennsylvania are treated like dogs ?” The question bodes no good to your party, my friend,” answered Mr. Jarrett. Wherever you find in this country any thing under the control of English capital there you will find that the workingman is not treated like a man ought to be. The Philadelphia and Heading road, on whose property the worst cases of miners are, is under English capital, and from Cheap- side, London, is shipped by them through the Southern Associated Press Emigration company all the cheap pauper labor they can find. That is why they are treated as they are.” Are not the coal producers heavily protected ?” The anthracite men are not, but the bituminous are, and your friend W. L. Scott, you kuow, who presented a peti- Mr. Shearman jumped up. “ I am a friend of Mr. Scott, and I knows he pays higher wages than is paid in Maryland. Is not that true?” Mr. Jarrett—I want to state here pub- licly, for print or otherwise, that it is not Mr. Shearman—Mr. Scott said so, and he has been contradicted. Mr. Jarrett—He has been contradicted on the floors of the House and elsewhere, and I here state as one who knows that his statement is not true. This settled Mr. Shearman, aud Mr. Jarrett devoted the rest of the evening to the wily Democrats who came to him with almanac jokes, but they found to their disgust that in good, homely illus trations as well as in figures the con queror of Morrison and Carlisle was more than a match for them.
