Wyoming Caitla.
Cheyenne, Feb. 6. Wyoming cattle
entered on the winter siegi; better prepared
than the Nebraska stock, ami very probably
will sulfur less. At present the cattle are
looking poorly. Whether or not the loss
will be great will himgo on the weather to
succeed. Should February weather coun
terfeit that which the last week of the pres
ent mouth has furnished, the stock will very
irobably rally well and but trilling loss will
be sustained. On the other hand should
severe weather ensue, and be followed by
bleak March winds, the suffering wiil be
severe.

PrrrSBEnc, Feb. 6. The oil excitement
st tt ashiiuj;toii, Pa., has reached the climax.
The ( J antz Well, which has been one of the
must interesting mysteries in the county for
- ninth past, was tested and iu the twenty
uted that it .vas allowed to flow, fifty
- rrela of the richest quality ran into the
tank. This is oqual to 3,600 barrels a day,
&l it has caused everybody to lose their
senses. Even the most skeptical oil opera
tives, who hive been watching the pla;e for
weeks, have lost their heads and to-night
are offering almost any price for ground.
General Logan -Jominated for Senator.
Spkinufield. III., Feb. (i. The republi
can senatorial! caucus last night, by a rising
vote and by acclamation, nominated Gener
al Logan for United States senator. Three
cheers were given for the nominee, and a
committee was sent to notify him cf the
action of the caucus. While the committee
was out the caucus sang "Marching through
Georgia," and were singing it when Logan,
escorted by the committee appeared at the
door. The music was kept up until he
reached the chairman's desk and was intro
duced. He spoke with much feeling, and
expressed his profound gratitude for the
honor done him by the caucus, and of his
indebtedness to the people of Illinois for
honors received at their hands. He alluded
to the fact that the legislature was evenly
divided,5fsaid if all the republicans stood
by Kiy lie A-.i'beelec;eU. or would pre
vent the election of a democrat. When he!
was in the army and was opposed by an
equal number of men, the eu-miy never got
the better of him. He would not have any
office unless it came to him honestly and
he intende 1 to so conduct ths tight as to
meet the approbation of all honorable men.
Logan was frequently applauded, and at
the conclusion of his of his speech was
cheered again and again. After some more
speeches the caucus adjourned .

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Jan. 30, 1885.
With dynamite debates and. resolutions
in both ends of the Capitol; with - some at
tention to appropriation bills, aud to a mass
of rather unimportant miscellaneous matter;
with the secret sessions of the Senate over
the treaties, and filibustering in the House,
the Representatives of nearly sixty millions
of people have written another page in his
tory this week. The work cannot be called
creditable to themselves, cr profitable , to
the'people. It is the old habit of Demo
cratic dilatorss. But more of this anon.
The Edmudns anti-dynamite bill, which
passed the Senate with but one opposing
vote, will provoke opposition in the House
from other members besides the eternal
twisters of the British lion's tail. Those
whose constituencies are largely Irish will
vote against it. A western member re
marked to me yesterday that the laws
against crime were ample, and the bill was
superfluous. He thought if the Secretary
of the treasury required his subordinates to
do their duty, in the matter of inspection of
shipments, dynamiters could not export ex
plosives to England. In other words a large
part of his constituents hated England to
such a degree, that he was fearful they
would remember to leave him out at the
next nominating convention, if he voted for
a bill that savored of sympathy for that na
tion. There' are daily contests in the lower
House now over the precedence of business.
I une memoer arter another onngs nis iavor-
ite measure forward for consideration. The
roll call is taken, 'and usually the
House refuses, by vote, to consider the bill.
Hie other dav Mr. Hewitt, of Xew York.
proposed the bill to carry into effect the ox'ani l,le
Mexican treaty, but the house declined to
discuss it. It will not be passed this ses
sion. Congressman Singleton, of Mississippi,
pressed forward the Congressional Library
bill; Mr. Townsend, of Illinois, presenteil
the claims of the Mexican pension bill; Mr.
Stockslager, of Indiana, thought the public
building measures were entitled to consid
eration; Representative Hunt, of Lonisaua.
suggested that it was time to take action on
the bill for the encouragement of the Amer
ican merchant marine"; and Mr. Henley, of
California wanted to take up Northern Pa
cific land forfeiture bills, which was agreed
to. The first bill on the calendar, however,
forfeited certain land in Michigan, and
the House refused to discuss it. Likewise

Tiie Pittsburg Dynamiters.
Ptttsbueg, Feb. 8.- -The story that
anarchists are armed and drilling here, and
that dynamite is Btored in various parts of
the city seems to have some truth. In an
interview with a reporter of the Despatch
to-night a prominent police officer stated
that he hail reliabie4informatiou that dynam
ite was stored at least in one place within
the city limits, and that a iarge supply of
guns had lately been received by Pittsburg
anarchists, which he thought had been
shipped from Chicago. The parlies having
these arms, be says are foreigners, not work
ingmen out of work, but an iruhists. Herr
Joseph Quick, a prominent socialist, to a
reporter of the same paper, admitted that
auarehistj were armed in this city, and that
they had regular nights lor drilling. He
said there were "ten groups" of about 4000
members iu Allegheny county.
Reduction of Wages.
San Francisco, Feb. 8. A notice was
posted in five of the principal foundries in
this city announcing that the wages of the
workmen would be reduced fifteen per cent.
All the boiler-makers and iron-moulders in
town held a meeting this afternoon, and
after a long discussion, decided to refuse to
accept the reduction, and determined to
strike. The men go out on Monday in the
Risdou, Union, Pacific and Savage shops.
On account of the depression in trade, only
a limited number of men have been employ
ed during the winter, and these only on
territory is run by the Alaska Commercial half time. The decision to strike affects
company if San Francisco, whose object is directly only about 200 men, but indirectly
to keep everybody out of the territory. It
is believed there will be a great rush of
miners .?xt season, in view of valuable
deposits discovered the past year.
Strike in a Carpet Manufactory.
Lowell, Mass., Feb. 6. -Nearly 500 em
ployes of the Lowell Manufacturing Com
pany, chiefly weavers and boys, struck
1000. Irving M. Scott said tne re ison the
reduction in wages was ordered, was dull
tunes and active competition of Eastern
shops; the machinery made in Pittsburg
had been sold in different places in Califor
nia for less than it could be produced in
this city, aud that the reduction of forty
per cent, iu wages in the East made it a
matter of necessity with the manufacturers

The strikers say their wagei are lower than !
paid by other carpet manufactories in the Hut little wheat has been shipped from
to be decided by the people iu the coming
elections. With such laws and methods as
it might command, the fourth of March
would have seen the new administration at
work to accomplish its purposes, mindful
that four years are, after all, but a short
period in a Nation's life. Look at the
Cleveland leaders in Congress. ' They are
incompetent, and have no policy, no meas
ures, uo i leas. Since the death ot the hor
izontal tariff bill, the Ways and Means
Committee has been utterly express'onless.
Its head, Mr. Morrison, is thinking only
alniut the Illinois Senatorship. The appro
priation Committee devotes itself to stintiDg
every necessity of the Government, while its
Chairman, Mr. Randall, is maneuvering for
the next Speakership. The Banking and
Currency Committee do nothing. The.ln
diciary, under Mr. Tucker, and the Foreign
affairs Committee under S. S. Cox, is wait
ing for Mr. Cleveland to say whether by
and by, it may not be a good administration
measure to build a gunboat. And so one
might go through all the committees.
Nothing has been done, and nothing is like
ly to Vkj done. The Southern men have
been out of power so long that they are
awkward, and do not know how to lead.
Their unexpected victory overcame them,
and they are still iu a convivial, muddle in
state. Besides most of them would rather
assert that secession was right, and that
Jeff. Davis was a pal riot, than bring for
ward and advocate any wise measure of leg
islation. While they go to dinners aud
parties, drink, smoke, tell stories, and ig
nore their duties as the leaders of a party,
coming into national power, democracy is
becoming a laughing stock. Their ambit
ions are the ofiices, in those they expect to
hold high revel, aud the looting will soon
begin. R.

"Impressed with a deei conviction that
an urgent extingency Bas arisen in the
I histcry ol the Temperance Cause, a large
number of persons' in 'all parts of the laud
I have expressed the opinion that a new or-
ganization of the temperaoce forces should
j be effected on a broad basis, to converse
and give direction to this important reform.
For this purpose, after extensive consulta
tion, a meeting was held iu B iston, Jan.
1, 1885, at which "A National League,
(non-partisan and non-sectarian,) for the
suppression of the Liquor Traffic," was or
ganized, under whose direction we now ad
dress the public.
A great contest is upon us. A dire and
barbarous foo eeks to throttle the Republic
and no weak, doubtful or one-sided measures
will suffice. The times call for combina
tion, on a broad basis of unity.
History abounds in iustauee3 of the
usurpation anil tyraucy of oligarchies which
were overthrown only by the uprising of the
people. A formidable Institution, familiar
ly called the Liquor Traffic, exerts a domi
nant, deadly influence in American Society.
It3 tyrannizing power is felt iu politics aud
legislation, in courts and juries, in trade
and fiuance, in literature and science, in
schools and colleges, iu social and religious
life. An oligarchy of nearly two hundred
thousand men, engaged ill the sale of iu-
me to claim the responsi
bilities and privileges of government over
fifty millions of people. H w far it has
succeeded in exercising iis fatal sway is
only too palpable in the evidences of wretch
edness, crime and ruin all around us.
Only a united movement of the people
can overthrow this malignant despotism.
To combine, so far as possible, all present
efforts, and to create new agencies for de -livcring
sojifcty from the evils which have
proved inseparable from the trade of in
toxicants, this National League has been
formed ft members do not think it wite
to commit the organization to any political
party, nor to form a new one. As a matter
of history, they remember that oligarchies
are usually overthrown by the people, and
not by divided parcizan action. The mem
bers of this League therefore do not favor
entangling this reform with partiz.au afiilia
ti'ius. They believe their purpose will be
soonest and best secured by keeping it clear
of all such einbarasameiits.
The work yf this Le'vgue must be largely
to create and intensify public sentiment,
seeking to build it up from the bottom line
of true reform. Intelligent convictions in
the heart's of the people, with God's bless
ing, afford the ouiy true basis on which de
liverance from the alcohol curse can be
reasonably expected. To produce, strength
en and enliven such convictions will be a
large part of our work. The needed legis
lation au.l ciif ij.o:ii; mv. of law v. iii sorely
follow. PnWiu eoTtinrnS, soon shows it
self :n legislation aud administration. We
pr.. pose to build the pyramid no: from the
apex, bni from the reve.
This Ir.v-gce r.lo invokes an I expects to
maintain the sanction ot law. in what they
are wiiiii.g to call a crusade against this
great organize I evil so much dreaded m the
land. T'l- dealers in liquors ask that they
may be i.-f, to tho same laws which govern
other ti i les. 15ut when a man sells an
article the us'j of which takes away the
judgmeu; of h:;n who buys, he must, not
expect to be left to i he laws which govern
other tradesmen, for the State Dtnst inter-poss-and
insist upon protecting those who
are thus m vt unable to protest themselves.
Is it said toat a common business and a
common rii unite" the dealers iu liquors
With a bond whidi in ikes s.ire they will
act as one? Weprnpoia to unite -against
them a hundred times as many men and
women, who believe that the liquoi- traffic
brings grevious calamities to the land. We
shall use every prudent and right method
to carry out our purpose, and ask all good
people, men raa women, ot all parties aud
creeds, to jomus in such endeavors.
