The opposition to the lonsidei.itlon of bills
from the committee on public grounds and
buildings in the house has forced a union of
representatives fiom thu west as uguinst
thosu of the east , the latter b cing led by Mr.
Ktuidull and backed up by the vetei.in ob
jector Holmmi , of Indiana. Them Is u very
ntiong feeling existing among westein mem
bers ut this combination for opposition to the
consiileiution of bills for public buildings in
the west , mid they mo detei mined to bi ing
the matter to an issue and lorco a fair hear

Bcttlons than theli own und they huvo com

Buppoited by charity in Washington over
Blncu his disappearance , but will in all pioba-
bllity within u few weeks bo placed in

H. Tibbit , who was formerly the commander
of Sullivan's regiment , tiaccd him to Mob-
orly , Mo , and obtained undoubted ovidcncu
of his death at that place a few jems ugo.
Then Colonel Tibbits hunted up Sullivan's
mother , who was found in a tenement liouso
in onu of thobutkstit-etsof Washington in
most distressing circumstance's but having
nil the proof neccssm y to establish her ident

knew him to bo a tominon , eveii-day scrap
per and an instructor of boxing. As for
injself , I made Klhain run olt
a stage once in two lounds.
Ho challenged mo when I had a biokcn arm ,
thcrcfoio ho got away with the bluff. Smith
has beaten several men , it is true , but ho has
failed to finish Alf Gicenllcld , who passed
his davs of usefulness bcfoio the meeting.
I won the American championship in the
ring , with baie knuckles , und being unable
to pioeuro customers I was foiced
to assume the role of boxer instead of fighter ,
disposing of all comers in a limited number
of rounds or agreeing to foi felt the gate re
ceipts , providing I was unsuccessful. I am
rccogni/ed in America us champion of that
counti y by all good judges. I have como
hero to meet England's best man ,
but to all appearances I shall
bo disappointed. Fleming has thus
far squirmed out of every offer , however
liberal it may bo , and now that ho is closely
cornered ho alleges that Smith requites u
icst after his desperate (1) ( ) battle nt Rouen.
I hereby agree to defeat Jem Smith in the
*
sixth round with small gloves ,
according to the Marquis of Quccns-
beny rules , ten days after my
battle with Mitchell , the contesHo occur
near London before a limited number of
spectators. Should I full in my undci tak
ing , I w ill forfeit to Smith JC500. I wish
the public to know , providing Smith is
beaten , that ho loses nothing , while in the
event of his success I lose .4.200. Any
of the offers 1 have advanced to
Smith mo open to Kilr.iin. Can any man
living muko gi eater saciiliccs or concessions
than I have ? Surely Smith must como to
the front or w lit like a wet tag. I shall
adhere to my original declination of
returning homo the llrst week
in April , and in the event
of my being unable to effect n meeting with
Smith befoio my departure from England , I
shall then proclaim without stint that Flem
ing was afraid to have Smith meet nn ) .
When wo mo both in Amcilca I shnlly set
my tracks for the Foxy lighter mid dnvo
him into a fight , regardless of what lus
desires or intention may bo. In America It
is customary to put up money Hist , then talk
afterwards , so let Fleming cover the money
I liavo in jour hands before ho goes talking as
to what ho will do. Kiluiin Is piiv-
ilegcd to cover the money that I
have stuck under his nose , if Fleming con
tinues to display his weakness , or both can
plank down 250 each in your hands to cover
my 500 , otherwise , It will get moulded from
ago waiting for champions to show what
right they have to the titles they claim.

The DnngcrH of a Surplus Presented
By Able Speakers nt n Meeting
In I'hllnilclphin-A Plat
form Adopted.
American Imbor Hoodwinked.
1-iiiA , Jiui.27. A largely attended
tin Iff meeting was held at the academy of
music this evening "to cnfoico and indorse
the recomincndutlons of Picsldents Aithtir
and Cleveland for revenue lofoim. " The
meeting was called to 01 derby William M.
Slngcrly. Ux-Sccrctnry of State Stcnger
was elected secretary , and the 2" > 0 business
men who signed the call for the meeting
were constituted vice presidents. Upon
the stimo were over two hundied
well known Philadelphia citizens of
both parties , among them cx-Govcinois
Hoyt and Paulson. The audience was at
tentive and enthusiastic throughout. Lettci s
of i egret from Hugh McCulloch , S. S. Cox ,
Secretary i-'uirehlld , Speaker Carlisle , David
A. Wells and othci s weio lead. Mr. MtCul-
loch sold the turlR was n vvur measure , had
served Its purpose and should bo caicfully re
vised ; tnat the surplus which it creates Is
but ono of its evils. What Is now wanted Is
a tariff for revenue with incidental piotcc-
tion.
tion.The
The first speaker was Congicssmnn W. C.
P , Hrcckenridgc. Ho said : The surplus
now ncciulng Is so much stibtruttt-d
from the business enterpilses of the countiy.
It fostcis coriuptlon , and is a perpetual
menace to honest government. Hut grc.it as
these sue tliei uio the least of the evils which
confront us now , for this uccumulatlng sur
plus thicatens business panics and is cjlucut-
ing the people to false ideas of their
iclatlons to the government. This
is not a paternal govci nment. The money in
the ticasury is not the money of the gov
ernment. It is the money of the people ,
wiling fiom them by a false aiidwiong
policy of taxation. Twenty-seven jears ago
our Hug was In oveiy pott ; now it is In
Bc.ucely any. Tiado has been lost to us by n
false sjstem which makes the rich , richer ,
but the poor , pooler. To obtain some idea of
what wo can do , look at the leather Undo of
the country and how it has tlu ived sitito wo
allowed hides' to come in free. The
suicst gu.uanty of the perpetuity
of this govcinmcnt is the content and
tranquility of labor. Wo don't have that now ,
because our system is falsfc. and wo must
abandon it. What is wanted is for the pcn-
plc , the laboring people , to get out of their
minds the idea that the labor of America
needs pi otcction against the pauper labor of
Europe , and to get into it that the best pro
tcction for labor is independent manhood.
Uefcrnng to Piesident Cleveland's
message , the speaker said ho was
proud to live in a day when a
man could bo elected chief magistrate
of a nation a biavo enough and honest anil
mindful enough of his obligations to the
people who could , with the pichidcncy in hi
gift , lay it aside for his duty.
A platform was then adopted setting fortl :
that tax reduction is a necessity ; that the
remedy .for excessive 10venue ig revised tax
ation. After referring to the rcconunendu
tlon ? of Arthur and Cleveland , the platforn
states that the existing duties upon raw ma
tt-rials which are to bo used in manufactures
should bo removed. The duties upon urticlc1
used or consumed by those w ho arc least nbli
to bear the burden of taxation , should be re-
dutcd.
Ex Congressman Hurd , of Ohio , said hi
did not come to Philadelphia to untagonl/i
the great industiial intcicsts of Pcnnsvl
vnnia , but in the hope that ho might bo abl
to pursuado her people ili.it the suiest way t
perpetuate them would be to refoi m the sj s
tern of taxation , which was now threatening
the countiy with disaster. Mr. Huul thei
entoicd into an elaboiate argument to dem
onstrate that the tauff was not in icahty pro
tection to American labor and American
cnterpi ise , but only , in some instances , th' '
handmaid.
