i%ttsburgh Sentinel \ -m» W. LAWSING Editor. ' WL. H. STORY Assistant Editor. FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 6, 1883. The New Tariff. last Monday the new Tariff enaoted by \ the ktst Congress went into operation for ithe first time. The changes in duties which i t established are not so considerable as to lead to any great disturbance in business, and their effects have been to a great ex- tent discounted during the time which has littterrened between the passage and the en- f*ctment of the measure. Several branches •*<yf industry have been operating on short -time in order to reap the advantages of cheaper raw materials and in order to be A little surer of their status under the new law. It is natural to expect that with the establishment of the new order^ of things. Among the more important reductions are flannels, blankets, knit goods, etc., the -duties on which are from 8 to 15 cents less 3«r poumd, ' carpets from which 5 to U •cents per pound are removed, sugars which *ra apparently less by from $ a cent to 1^ « cent, although this redaction may be in yart annulled by the operation of the polarlscope test, cotton cloth, according to •quality from £ cent to 3 | cents per yard, barley and rye 5 cents per bushel, cologne 50 • scents per gallon, window-glass from £ cents %£ cents per pound. On the other hand 'earthenware is increased from 40 per oent. <jf its value to 55 per cent, and there is a -considerable advance in the rates of duty on objects of art, ornamental china, stained {glass and many other articles which are --consumed only by the rich. Until it has 'been in -operation for some time, the new ' \Tariff ««nnot be judged fairly nor its ef- fects carefully traced. , Internal revenue stamps on bank ^-etadks, drafts, orders and vouchers, ? matches, proprietary medicines, perfumery, * eooaetios, etc, ceased on Monday. The i'provisions reducing the tax on dealers in \tobacco and on tobacco, cigars and snuff *4ook effect May 1st, and the provision re- pealing the tax on bank capital and de- posits beoame operative immediately on the ^approval of the act. The only internal 'revenue tares now remaining are those on spirits, malt liquors, cigars, cigarette, snuff • and tobacco, and the special taxes on man- \ufacturers of and dealers in those articles. Politick Topics. —7dhn Kelly says Tammany Sail won't Tgo down upon his knees to beg for admis- - aton to the New York Democratic state con- vention, —Ex-Senator <0glesby's friends have formally placed him in the field for the next Republican nomination for governor in Illinois. —The Democratic editors of Indiana met «t Logaxtsport on Friday and passed reso- intibns unanimously endorsing Senator McDonald for the presidency. The ma- jority of those present were opposed to .protection. —In his speech at the banquet at Spring- *meld, Mass., John Kelly Bharply critioiBed -Samuel J. Tilden for not courageously ^eollutg on the people to sustain him in as- suming the Presidency in 1876. He also 'said that Tilden tried to get the nomina- i£oa<in*880, and, failing, used his influ- -eaoein New York to defeat Hancook. —New York Republicans have had little to say rolatWe to the coming campaign in <6his state; indeed only one proposition has «been made—to renominate the Republican state officers. If anyone has a better plan •it has not been broached. It is note- worthy, at the same time, that the proposi- tion has aroused no special opposition to •the scheme, unless the Utica HercMbd ex- •tiepted. But neither that paper nor any -other liepublioan journal can truthfully say that these state officers have not done tiieir duty to the entire satisfaction of the .. ..people, so that it is hard to see where there **trw*ld be any gain either to the party or to *--Ike state in selecting other candidates to *• take their ..places. If re-elected they would ' certainly run as well as anybody else that r - is likely ±o be named.— Rochester Post-Ex- /•• -jpras. An Almshouse Burned. - fwo Ia«nno Women Scorched-Escape \ HiSEiBBtaGH, Pa., tJtOya.—Fire in ihe '• Dauphin county almshouse this afternoon destroyed every building on the ground, ' -exoept the laundry and school house. Fire ' *was' ftrat discovered in the large frame • stable located near the main structure. %he stable -was eonsumed with its contents, •' Including two horses and five mules. The rain structure was set afire and as there •was a very high wind the building was ' i^aon destroyed. As soon as the dwelling - ^eattghtrthft steward and his-assistants rushed \^o 4fee 'iaseoae department- and - forced 21 ' tanales and 17 males from their, quarters. • All of them were saved, though they fought - flesperately. The loss is $200,000. Two 1 of the insane women were severely burned. ' .\3Ch« insane were removed- to-4he-State asy- * bun, when it wa» discovered tha't 12 were *- missing, having fled. Two of them were * • .very violent. Up^ to a late hour to-night fctfnwf them had- been apprehended. The -State authorities were requested to furnish Hients to cover the poor, who numbered over T50, but the request was pointedly refused. 'This necessitates keeping the indigent poor >in the open air to-night, or until tempor- ary quarters are erected. Provisions «nougfe was saved to feed them for several Huge Spots on the Sun. \The huge group of sun spots which'made its appearance a week ago has now ap- proached close to the centre of the sun's 4isk, and for several days has exhibited in- •dications of intense activity, accompanied -at night by displays of the aurora borealis, This group, like mostof the 1 great sun spots •which have been accompanied by auroras \and magnetic storms, says the New' York 4Sw», is evidently Subjected to cyolonic •ction the effect of which is perceived in (too changes of form it undergoes.' It is tatty as large as the group of spots that broke out on the sun at the time of the great magnetic storm of April, 1882, and can be seen without a telescope more easily e planet Venus was during her tran- -sit idjDecember last. ; ? Washington Topics. —During the fiscal year there have been 1,639 postoffices established. —The subject of assisted emigration from Ireland to this country is still re- ceiving attention by this government. —The Continental Guards of New Or- leans called at the White House on Mon- day. They did not see the President. —The President has appointed Frank D. Conger to be postmaster at Washington. He is a son of Senator Conger, of Michigan, and is thirty years of age. —Over $15,000,000 of fractional currency is still outstanding, although it is practi- cally out of circulation. It is supposed that a large part of it has been lost or destroyed. —During the year ending June 30th there were 53,411 applications for pensions, increase of 31,605. Of applications for increase under the act of March 3, 1883, there were 16,738. -The secretary of the navy has received very few bids for the construction of the new steel cruisers. The profits are so small that both ship-builders and steel manufacturers are reluctant to bid. —Secretary Folger says in relation to the trade dollar excitement that the trea- sury department is powerless to afford re- lief. The remedy for the evil lies in the hands of congress, and its attention will be called to the subject next session. —Frank Raymond, of New York has been appointed agent for the new postal note, with his headquarters at the manu- factory of Homer Lee & Co., New York City. Raymond will forward the new notes direct to the postmasters as they are ordered. —It is semi-officially stated that \Presi- dent Arthur will arrive at Newport about the 10th of July, and will remain in that vicinity about two weeks. A portion of his time will be spent at West Island, fish- ing. The President will be entertained by many summer residents. —Work on the Washington Monument has come to a complete standstill, owing to the failure of the contractors to furnish marble, as agreed. Nearly a year will be lost, and probably it will be three years before the monument is completed. It i now 370 feet high. —The President has made several modi- fications in his recent executive order re- lating to a consolidation of internal revenue districts, and in North Carolina, Kentucky and the far West, changes are made re- ducing the number of districts to 45, in- stead of 46 as originally contemplated. —The President has appointed Colonel Samuel B. Holabird Quartermaster General, to succeed Ingalls, retired. He has also appointed Samuel J. t Kirkwood, of Iowa; Silas B. Dutcher, of New York, and Anthony GilMson, of New York, a commis- sion to examine 45 miles of railroad and telegraph line constructed by the Oregon & California railroad; A. M. J. Galbraith, Associate Justice of the Supreme. Court of Montana, and Theodore L. Poole, Pen- sion Agent at Syracuse. —Supervising Inspector Dumont has issued a circular addressed to the masters of passenger excursion steamers calling their attention to certain sections of the re- vised statutes regulating to the carriage of passengers on steam vessels. Local in- spectors are to furnish the treasury depart- ment weekly statements with the names of all steamers supplied with excursion permits, with the number of passengers allowed on their regular certificates and the addition- al number allowed on the excursion per- mits. The Hop Movement. Early last week Hops moved off rather freely in small lots, but after most brewers in want had obtained a supply sufficient to carry them through the coming month, the market fell back into its former lethargy. Brewers appear sanguine that the bottom has not been touched, and that by holding off they will be able to buy to better advan- tage a month before the new crop shall have become marketable. In the country there does not appear to have been a semblance of a revival of trade. The Cooperstown Ee- publican of the 26th gives the following: '• The market for hops is quiet. There are no transactions to note. Dealers seem to be willing to buy at figures in the neigh- bourhood of 45 cents; offers of this char- acter have been made and refused.\ The Freeman 1 8 Journal of the same place cor- roborates the above in saying: \Thereis nothing doing in this market. If a dealer seeks to fill an order at 40 cente, he cannot do it; if a grower offers to sell at that price, and the dealers have no order to fill, he can- not find a purchaser.\ In regard to the condition of the vines, it says: Reports as to the condition of the growing vine vary, like this: A letter from Oneonta says: ' The blight has appeared in almost every yard in this section of the country.\ An experienced grower of Burlington remarked \ There has been marked improvement in the appearance of the vine within the past ten days; I have never seen it look better between Burlington and Cooperstown, than it does to day.\ Like reports of the vine in the northern part of that town. Quite different reports from yards in the southern portion, and sections of Middlefield, where the blight prevails. From Oamden, Oneida county, a subscriber writes: \ As far as I have seen or been able to learn, the vine is looking finely and growers anticipate a better crqp than last year.\ A subscriber in Broomecounty, writes: \I have three small yards; none of them promised well in the spring; on the 22d I discovered in one yard the leaves were nearly all eaten off by a small green worm.\ The reports from Madison county show many poor yards. From the Paoifio Slope the reports are not as favorable as they were a week ago. The Cherry Valley Gazette says : '-No market in this section. Most holders think prioes must advanoe, believing that the decline was not in consequence of a large supply, but was effected by the craft of a few unprincipled men, who suoceeded in exciting a panic among small holders, that bought hops last fall on speculation, at high figures.\ The New York market continues to rule languid. The Bulletin reports: '' There is not the least indication of improvement in the demand, and sales of over ten bales or so at a time seem some- thing very rare. About 40 cents is the general figure, and it would take a very fine articje to bring more money.\ Another Hen On. It may perhaps be remembered by thoughtful persons of retentive memories that just after the November elections of last year, when the Democratic ' \tidal wave\ swept over the country with such devastating effect, there were three or four very promising candidates for the Demo- cratic nonsination for President. They were mostly \tidal wave Governors,\ and might be named in the following order: Governor Cleveland, of New York, Gov- ernor Pattison, of Pennsylvania, Governor Butler, of Massachusetts, and Governor Waller, of Connecticut, though it should be said of the last named that, either on account of the smallness of his State or the modesty of himself and friends, he was ( 'mentioned\ only for Vice-President. The preternatural wisdom with which our Dem- ocratic cotemporaries discussed the whole business, not only confining the competi- tion to the gentlemen named, but going so far as to decide definitely which would be winner, penetrated and impressed the country. There was a brief period, be- tween the election of these Governors and their inauguration, when it was an under- stood thing among Democrats that though there might be a question as to which it would be, there was no doubt whatever that one of them would be the Democratic candidate, and of course the next President of the United States. The \tidal wave' had settled beyond allpreadventure. Mayhap those persons whose memories reach far enough back into antiquity to re- call this state-of affairs noticed very shortly after inauguration of these Governors and the assembling of the Legislatures of their respective States,—notably of New York and Pennsylvania,—there was first a per- ceptable wavering of confidence in the spe- cifio candidates; then a disposition to ad- mit that the nomination might fall outside the tidal-waters; then a cessation of talk about them ; and finally subscidence of discussion and a' general drying up all along the lines. These changes in Demo- cratic public opinion began with the first public acts of the promising statesmen re- ferred to, and proceeded by easy and gradual stages with the successive steps of their development. Their likeness to their party in this regard is marked. They have repeated its history. It has been a charac- teristic of the party always that it hurried to discount a gold mine wheneverjt hap pened to stumble on a ten cent piece. It was always going to do something im- mense; but so soon as it got a chance to do anything it undid everything, includ- ing its own prospects. The' 'tidal-wavers\ seemed to have a good chance so long as they did nothing and were unknown. So soon as they began to do anything and to be known they began to be themselves un- done. They have faded away as Presiden- tial possibilities even. All those eggs are addled and the hen herself has shaken her- self and waddled off. Following the subsidence of the chatter about tidal-wave candidates for President there came a wind-burst on the subject of the tariff. Democrats who had been dis- counting the Presidency dropped that issue and said, \Let's talk about something else. How about the tariff?\ The tossing of that issue began to be dangerous to the party crockery, when at the suggestion of Mr. Tilden the brawling momentarily ceased in order that a few leading Demo- crats might step over into Ohio and try the experiment of setting another hen. They did it last week. And now there seems to be a season of comparative quiet. Every- body is stepping softly round Ohio. Mr. Henry Watterson, who a little while ago was bent on turning all the Protection fowls out of the barn-yard, says, \Never mind about that. S-h-h-h ! G-o s-l-o-w! THEBE'S A HEN ON!! 1 ' Mr. Tilden whispers behind his hand, \Wait a few minutes. I'm setting a hen in Ohio/ The word has gone around that \there's a hen on,\ and all hands are awaiting the incubation. Meantime an old rooster named Thurman, strutting by the nest in which so many unhatched hopes are lying, remarks to a jealous old hen named Ward, \How absurd! Why that Hoadiy's a mere pullet, Durbin, compared with you.\ To which Durbin with a flutter, ' 'Never mind; next year I give 'em fair notice I'll sit on an ostrich egg of my own, if I break a leg getting up to it.\ And that is the present situation. The Hoadly pullet \on\, a pro- miscuous lot of goose-eggs, pigeon's eggs, crockery eggs and hard-boiled eggs, the Thurman rooster viewing the performance with contempt, and the disgusted old hen Durbin Ward threatening to set on an os- trich egg. Meantime Henry Watterson waves the noisy world away with the hoarse whisper, \S-h-h-h ! THEBE'S A HEN ON !!\ — New York Tribune. The Queen of the Gypsies. A New Yorker Starts 'Out a Oyysy Band-A New Humbug. The New York correspondent of the Al- bany Evening Journal gives an interesting account of the latest scheme of the sharps of that city to extort money from the people of the country: Some gypsies may camp near your city this summer. If the Queen of the gang is more like the gypsy girl of romance than of reality; if her black hair is artfully pictur- esque in its disorder, her eyes enlarged by pigment on the edges of the lids, her com- plexion darkened by stain rather than tan, and her clothes show the cleanliness of civ- ilization—if there are all these points of dif- ference between hex and the greasy, bedrag- gled and offensive gypsy queens whom you may have seen, then conclude that she is the one you have read about in this letter. The 10 cent museum business in the Bowery has gone down in disaster. It never prospered on the receipts from admission fees, but managed to do very well with gift games and other swindles. Lately the police took a notion to stop their robberies. The man- agers dropped some of their devices, but re- tained others, such as inducing visitors to take the current from an electric machine, without any suggestion of charging for it, and then demanding from 25 cents to $1. Several of these operations amounted in law to crimes; and one offender is under indict- ment. So the doors are closed at last, and the managers are compelled to turn to new fields. It is one of them who has started out with a band of gypsies, which I have mentioned. Provided with a tent which he has used heretofore as a side show, and with a lot of old costumes, he has set out upon the road. He has a knife-thrower and an acrobat, in the guise of gypsies, and with them he expects to win numerous wagers on feats which he knows they con readily per- form, but which the unwary visitor, on be- ing adroitly led to consider, will deem im- possible, and will let himself be lured into betting against. He has also several women- who pass very well for gypsy hogs, and who sell trinkets and tell fortunes. But the girl who figures as the gypsy queen is his chief dependence for income. She is rather hand- some, devoid of scruples, and has been in- timately associated with vicious New York hfe. She has learned her lesson of fortune- telling mummery, she is audacious enough to carry out the masquerade, and that rustic will be lucky who gets away from her with- out leaving a much larger fee than most gypsy palm-crossers exact. I found this humbug in operation close by Kahway, N. J., and had little difficulty in tracing it to its Bowery Source. If the operators get Jersey justice, you will never see them. Let me Show You what a saving I have made during the last year by being my own doctor. Last year I paid out $96.25 for doctors and their medicine, this year I paid 16.00 for six bottles of Sulphur Bitters and they have kept health in my whole family. They are the best and purest medicine ever made.— Charles King, 60 Temple Street, Boston, Mom. A Good Investment . One of our prominent business men said to us the other day: \In the spring my wife eot all run down and could not eat anything; passing your store I saw a pile of Hood's Sarsaparllla in the window, and I got a bottle. After she had taken it a week she had a rousing appetite, and it did her everything. She took three bottles, and it was the best three dollars I ever invested, c. I. HOOD & Co., Lowell Mass.
