HOLDREGE THE COMING MAY, The Burlington's General Manager Oalled Into Chicago TO STEP INTO STONE'S SHOES. The Latter's Resignation as General Manager of the Q" Demanded by the Disgusted Directory of the Road. The Latest Railroad Rumor. Several railrond mer have been in the city this week and through one of them comes information of important changes in the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy nianagement, The nows comes direct from Chicago. The informant asks to have his namo suppressed, ‘but his connection with prominent railroad officials in the west is such as to entitle his statements to beliof. “I notice that your Mr. Holdrege has ‘been called to Chicago. Do you know what that means?” he asked. Ignoranoe was pleaded by the listener and the speakter urged to explain, “General Manager Stone of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy has been called east and General Manager Holdregoe of the B. & M. went % Chicago lust Saturday to act in Mr. Stone's place, Mr. Btone's resignation Bas boen requested, and he will probably step down and out during September. Presi- Q@ent Perkins accompanied him east, and the prosumption Is that there will be a directors’ mesting to provide another berth for Mr. $Stove. Mr. Holdrege is slated for the posi- Slon of General Manager of the ‘Q.’ Gen- eral Superinteadent Calvert of the B. & M. ‘will be advanced to Mr. Holdrege's position. The Burlington oMcials will probably deny $ins statoment, but it is trne. The directors #nd stockholders of the ‘Q' are alarmed at $he losscs followmg the strike. Mr. Stone has prevented a settlement of the trouble. ‘The engincors.are’ friendly to Mr. Holdrege, wnd it is believed that under his management Serms can be made for deolaring the strike " The gentleman was plied with doubts and whens and whys, and added this statement: “Of course nothing is absolutely certain wmotil it has come to pass. Mr. Stone has been given to understand that his resigna- Sion would be acceptable, but he may be able %0 bring powerful influences to bear at court M he decides that he wants to stay. He Is a welative of Mr. Forbes, of Boston, chairman of the board of dircctors and tho heaviest oteckholder in the ‘Q." The Forbes infiu- @nce has kept him in his place for a month Ezdayue the clamoring of other holdings. 't reasons exist for the belief that Mr. Forbes has decided to maks the change but it #s within the range of possibility that Mr. Btone's visit may alter the decree. |Messrs. Perkins and Stone were called east early inst woek. Mr. Holdrego was directed by President Perkins to go to Chicago and act a8 general manager of the Chicago, Burling- fon & Quincy system during Mr, Stone's ab- sence. Iunderstand that on account of the sickness of his father-in-law Mr Holdrege did not get away until Saturday. He is now in Chicago and signing orders as general manager of the ‘Q.’ He knowsof the ele- wation in prospect for him if Mr. Stone fails 10 soften the hearts of the ‘Q’ directors.

Pirrssune, August 92 —The flood has almost reached its limit here, and will not reach o disastrous height, The lowlands, however, are submerged, and the damage will be quite heavy. Both rivers are still rising, but the water is coming up slowly, and experienced rivermen do not look for more than twenty-six feet. It is still cloudy, and more rain is not improbable. The rain in the mountains and up the Monongahela river was almost unprecedented. All small streams are terribly swollen. In many places they have overflowed their banks and flooded large distriots. Reports from adjoining districts state that the valleys are overflowed and the damage to the crops can scarcely be estimated. Bridges, stables and outbuildings were whirled away ‘before the rushing flood. At McKeesport the flats are under water and seversl mills nave been compelied to sns- pend operations. An Italian laborer was re- ported drowned. At Greensburg the great rain left many traces of its devastation. Many people were driven from their howes and several stores were swamped by the flood. The Hungarian camp below town 18 sub- merged and many Hungarians narrowly escaped drowning, Av Jeaunette, the Sellers-McKes glass works are almost entirely under water, as are elghty or more houses. The towns of Larimer, Shafton, Irwin, Penn., and Manor are partially under water, and many of the {nhabitants are living in the upper stories of their houses. In this city many mills and factories havo suspended work. In Allegheny City a_row of seven new frame houses in ant valley were wreckedgby a slide. ~ The rafiroads are grend sufforers in the section, No trains have arrived over the Baltimore & Ohio road since yesterday morning. Every culvert and bridge on the Wheeling division has been washed away. The other roaas suffered similarly to a greater or less extent. On_the Pittsburg, Virgmia & Charleston no trains are running south Dravosburg, twelve miles from this city. The tracks are covered with debris and many bridges have been swept away. The Chartiers branch ot the Panhandle is also obstructed and no trains are running. The Pittsburg & ‘Westernjtracks are three feet under water, but trafifc, although delayed, has not_been m‘npeln:l] . The telegraph service is badly crippled. KAsTON, Pa., August 22.—The Delaware river at 11 o'clock this morning was nearly eighteen fect above low water mark, and the Lehigh was thirteen. Both are still rising. Navigation has been suspended on the Morris, Delaware and Lehigh canals, and all mills in_South Easton have been shut down. The Lehich canal above Chaindah dam has been damaged and cannot be used for a week. READING, August 22, —The Schuylkill river this morning was fourteen feet above the or- dinary water mark, which is the highest polut since 1560, Thte Schuylkill river,Union canal and Schuylkill canal, all lying along- side of each other, are all one body of water. The mill of the Reading iron works, three paper mills of the Bushon Paper company, the Consumers’ Gas company,which supplies the city with gas, and other manufacturmg establishments, employing probably 800 haflds, were obliged to shut down becauss of the high water. Hundreds of acres of corn and potatoes are under water. The river commenced falling this afternoon. pewiiusii The Storm at Bosten, ‘BosTtoN, August 22.—It will be difficult to estimate the actual damage caused by the disastrous rain-fall last night. Hundreds of cellars were flooded and much property was lost. There are two large plants in Roxbury that suffered an aggregate loss of nearly $50,000 and smaller sums will increase that sum to many thousands., The Boston belting company suffered to_the extent of §25,000. The towers of the oil cloth works were dam- aged $20,000, The storm created more trouble for the New York & New England railroad than for any line'running out of Boston. Not o train has left or entered the city up to noon to-uay. The long cut through South Boston has formed a complete barrier to all progress, having six feet of water in it, s Ten Victims in Maryland. Baumivons, August 3%—Repoits of the storm in the southern portion of the state are coming in very slowly, but it is known that the damage has been very severe. - A cyclone | struck the village of Still Pond, Kent count and houses were blown down and ten p-ogé are said to have been killed.

Cnicaco, August 28.—[Special Telegram to Tun Ber.] —Umpire Cusick failed to put in an appearance for to-day’s Maroon-Oniaha gome, and Miller, of the Omahas, took place. Miller forgot that he wasn't playing ball with his team. In the eighth his do cisions were 8o unfair that the Maroons lost heart and so lost the game. Fivoof the six bases on balls off Sprague should have been strike outs, and three of the four strike outs credited to Kennedy should have boen bases on balls. The Maroons earned the game and it will undoubtedly be protested. Never be- fore has a erowd shown such anger during o Chicago ball game, It hooted, yelled and howled. It was openly charged that Miller stole tho game for his team and that he meant to. Sprague pitched a strong game and deserved to win, The Maroons gave him an errorless support up to the efghth, ‘when they lost their nerve and hope because of the rank decisions. The same teams will play to-day, with Dwyer in the box for the home team, and Lovett for the visitors. There will be an umpire on hand. The score : OMATA. Burns, It Annis, cf. Crooks, 2b.

He also pounded the ball over the fence twice, bringing in five of the visitors’ seven rums.

Cirrcaco, Augiat, 22.—Two thousand per- sons were present at -the second day's meot- ing of" the Northwestern Brodders' associa- tion, The track was hard and fast. The first event was for the $2,000 stakes for horses in the 2:37 cluss. It brought out a good sized field. The favorite, of course, was the Rochester surprise, who brought 50 against #27 on Seymour Helle, # on the Jones mare and $12 for the rest. Jaok’s back- ors had no reason for as he won three heats right oft the reel. Belle was his only dangerous competitor, and in theé second heat Budd Doble just succeeded in ing him under the wire ahead of Belle by & scant nose, The second race was for the 2:18 class of rs, for a purse of #2,000. Ed. Annan and Roy Wilkes sold for $31 and #35, re- lnmive%,o ‘while the field brought $13. Y too second heuts with ease, and he became a hot favorite at $30 against Ed. Anuan, who brought §20, and the fleld, which sold for $15. The next surprise took place in the fol- lowing three heats, when Harry Z., who was not supposed to be in the race, won as he Pleased. The second heat was made in 9:15%, and was productive of a_rattling finish be: tween Raven Boy and Wilkes, the eventual winner of the race finishing fourth. The third event was interesting only for the last heat, which was trotted in 2:20 at 6:45 p, m. Sally Cossack and Diatonic were the only starters, and the race proved a snap for the mare. Sundwiched between these events was a trot agnjnst 2:40 for & cup by Girflue. She made it in 2:813¢, To-morrow Will be the great day of the meeting.

THE MICHIGAN CAMPAIGN OPENED Judge Thurman Enlightens His Be- nighted Friends on the Tariff Question in a Somewhat Lengthy Specch. Thurman Firves the First Gun. St Crair vas, Mich,, August 22.— After leaving Grosse Point the Thurman party had an experience which will probably not soon be forgotten. Twenty miles of rough sailing in a little steamn yacht made an enlivening evening. The staunch little ves- sol rode thé wavos like a cork and scarcely anyone suffered from sea sickness. After two hours and & half the canal at St. Clair Flats was reached, and from there on smooth sailing was enjoyed. The party was wel- comed here at 12:55 this morning. Judge THurman enjoyed thie trip greatly and seemed not at all inconvenienced by the storm. Pnunlng Marine City the party received a midnight recéption, although no stops were made. Chinesé lanterns had been hung along the dook. Red, white and blue lights were burned, acannon was fired and steam whistles and human voices added to the greet- ing. At the Oakland houso the guests joined in a welcome to the party. The speeches to-day will begin about 8 o'cloek, and the attendance promises to be immense, A message was received this morning from Postmaster General Dickin- son, stating his fnability to be on hand and sending good wishes and greeting. At 12:45 the start for Huron was made on the Picket. The plan is to spend Thursday at Port Huron and Huronia Beach, and on {;‘rldny morning the trip to Chicago will egin, n Pine Grove, a beautiful park that lies between Port Huron and Port Gratiot, a spenking stand had been erected, about which a large crowd awaited the exercises of the afternoon. Fully throe thousand people, mostly men, wore present when the chair- man called the meeting to order, but several hundred more came up during the speech of Judge Thurman, und @il united in the ap- lause that was given the a}m:h and spealker, ir. J. G. O'Neil, of Port Huron, igtrodueed Judge Thurman, and in doing so made a neat comparison betieen the “Grand Old Man’ of England aud the *‘Old Roman” of Amer- 1ca. Judge Thurman was greeted with a burst of applause from the crowd. After the people quicted down he spoke as follow: The following i8 Judge Thurman's speech at Port Huron this afternoon; Ladies and Gentlemen: Will you allow me to keep my hat on? Of course; certainly. 1 am afraid that this cold north wind might do me some harm I went bareheaded, and although Tam willing to uncover my head before the people, still I don’t want to break down at the beginning of the campaign. (Voices, “Keep your cap on.") My friends, this is the first time in my life that I have had the honor to speak in your city.” 1 have been invited again and ‘again, but have never been able to accept any invitation biefore this. Iesteem it a great privilege to be able to address you to-day. (Applause.) It is not necessary for me, before I pro- ceed, to speak of the president of the United States and his administration in more than a very few words. I defy any man who has & regard for the truth to say that Grover Cleveland has not madea good president of the United States. (Applause.) A brave, intelligent, level headed, noble man, he has had a clean and upright and successful administration, EA pplause, and a voice, ‘“‘Hurrah for Cleveland.”| Four vears ago he was elected. In the canvass that praceded his election his opponents pre- dicted all manner of evils in case he should succeed. Ho did succeed, and pray what has become of their prediotions! Where is the roin that was to follow the election of Gro ver Cleveland! Where is the disgrace that was to follow his eleetion? On the contrary the country has been more quiet, more peace- able, more prosperous than it has been for many yoars that have gone by. (Applause. Now I know the man; I know him well. tell you, my fellow citizens, that & more up- right and wise man I do not believe dwells within the limits of the United States [af use|, and he has & noble of counsel- rs around him, and not the least among them is that distinguished citizen of your own state, Mr, Dickinson. [Great applause.] Cleveland knows not only how to rule him- self within the limite of the constitution, but he knows &ull well how, to ohooso good eon- stitutional advisers, Now, my friends, having said this much about the administration let me proceed to that question to which I have alluded, com monly known as the tariff question. 1pro- sume that there is not & person within the sound of my voice who does not know what is meant by the tariff. And yet it may aid us to-day 1f I give a clear and precise defini- tion of what the taniff is. The tariff, miy friends, 18 nothing in the world but a tax— @ tax levied by the general government upon every article of commerce that comes into the United States, and that is intended for sale ithin ber borders, and which incidentally raises the price, and therefore becomes a tax or burden, upon every article of domestic manufacture of like nature with those which pay & tariff tax. Now we have at this mo- ment,according to the last advices I have seen, about §115,000,000 surplus revenue; that is, taxes collected from the people beyond the necessities of the government. Those $1! 000,000 are lying rflml.v idle in tho vauit of the treasury of the United States, are of no service to any human being,drawiog no interest, earning no profite, but taken from the pocket of the ‘where they properly belong, and where, if they were now found, thousands and tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people of the Unied States would put them to good use and improvo their condition and prosperity. Now tire democratic party says that this is & wrong condition of affairs; that that money onght not to be, like the talents of the man we are told of in the seriptures, buried in the ground; that this is a very poor use to make of the money of the people, and therefore the demoeratic party says that this surplus revenue which is produeed in the main by these tariff taxes ought to be reduced, and that the taxes shiould be reduced so that this surplus will not eontinue to accumulate. L;\pplnuw,] Our opponents, on the other and, say it is better to let the surplus ac- cumulawe. Itis beiter to take mousy from the pockets of the people. It is better to pile it up inthe vaults of the treasury depart- ment, although it does no good what- soever, d it is @& great harm. It is Dbetter to do that than touch the tariff laws of these United States, We say, on the contrary, to relieve the overtaxed people is to reduce the taxos. We say that the way to treat the peoplo honestly, fairly and wisely is to take no more taxes out of their pockets than the government actually needs for its expendi- tures. The issue, then, is fairly made up between us; it is batween high taxation on the one band and reasonable taxalion on the other. 1t is between taking the money of the peo- ple out. of their own control, their own pock- ets, and burying it in the cellar of the treas- ury department, or it is between leaving the money where it belongs, in the pockets of the people, to be used by them as their wants require and as their lnhllifenm and Mulg direct. Now, my friends, in the long politi- cal life that I have led I have heard a great many false pretenses preached to many in §avde "them, but my I have mnever witnessed such audacity 83 I have noticed this year on the part of the advocates of a high protective tarift—ne It. seems that a singular dis, of truth has suddenly affli thew, do not wish to cull the people bard sames. w i ity to say that t,l tariff tax is not paid b; the eonsumers the article which is taxed. Why, If the constimers of these taxed articles do not pay tho tax I would like to know who does? Do theso protectionist orators pay it! Do the manufacturers pay it! Who pays it, if the people who consume the articles that are taxed do not pay 1t Now, my frionds, if you will reflect fora moment you will see that it is necessarily the case that tariff taxes are paid by the con- sumers of the articles which are taxed, and of all domestic articles of like kind which are manufactured in the United States, for it is & curious fact, and ono of the worst things about this tarifi tax, that while the govern- ment gets §1 rosulting from the tax, the do- {nen'l(‘ manufacturers get §5. (Great choer- ng, The amount of dutiable goods imported into the United States in the year 1887, for which we haye any roturns, were in value 25,82 The tariff du collected were There were, thorefore, in that single year taxes levied on the United States by the operation of this law of $212,082,424, which went into the treasury of the Unil States. But that, as I havetold you, was the least part of the burden. The domestic man- ufacture of the same kind of commodities amounted in that year to $5,800.579,101. That is, in other words, to $5,360,000,000, and a8 the price of those goods was raised by the tariff in nearly equol proportions to the price of the goods that were imported into the country, the amount which the people paid in those high prices of what they %cllrk\ buy oand had to use amounted to about $1,000,- 000,000, or five times 86 much as the tax re- ceived by the government for the use of the government.

Why don't they carry out this principle! Why don’t they, when they find in Port Hu- ron a lawyer—1 think I may name them be- cause I am a la r myself—when they find one, the procecds of whose profession don't afford him and his family comfortable sup- port, why don’t they tax you all for his ben- efit, so as to protect him?! Or, when they flnd a doctor whoso income is not sufficient to support him or his family, why don’t they tax _all the people of Port Huron in order to ad1 to the wealth of that doctor? And so on, with everything else, Why don't they do it? The principal general fact is that this tax—(Here the speaker was interrupted by the cheering and applause which followed h:s preducing a ban- dana handkerchief.) WDII,lefiumcn. this a good, honest hand- kerchief, I would have bought it a good deal cheaper if it bad not been for the tariff tax. Great laughtor and prolonged cheering. | ow there are men who say that the con- sumer don't a tax. I have said that that is a most audacious assertion, and I have tried to show that he must necessarily pay a tax. These gentlemen who are howling around about the benefits of protection and the ruin that the democrats are_bringing on the coun- try, tell you that this thing which President Arthur recommended only solately is nothing in the world but free trade. They are more afraid ot free trade than of rattlesnakes. alarmed lest they by free _trade. [Laughter.] Well, now, so far from this being free trade, the most striking thing about the Mills bill is that it is the most moderate reduction of the tariff duties that has ever been attompted in this country. The average duty levied under the present tariff was 47 per cent, and under the Mills bill the average would be only about 40per cent—a reduction of only 7 per cent upen all commodities, taken together. Of course, there are some things upon which the duty was reduced more. For instance, the duty is taken off of a number of articles called raw material, which are used by manu- facturers in their work, in the fabrica- tion of their products. And as they reeive this great benefit of having their raw materials free, or with comparatively small duty, the bill wisely provides that the articles manufactured by them, when brought into the country, shall pay a lower rate of duty than they did before. But that 18 nothing more than a compensation for tak- mg off the duty from raw material. ow, my friends, there 1s another thing to which I wish to call your atteation. €hey say, all at once, (I say all at once for it is a late doctrine), these advocates of pro- tection are all at once seized with a wonder- ful solicitude for the laboring man of this country, and they want a high protective tariff, not to benefit the capitalist; not to benefit the monopolist; not to benefit theé manufacturer, according to ther state- ment. He is the man they seck to ct. And how are they going to protect him? Why, they say that a high protective tariff will bam&a;h his eondmgn. hl’vla‘k;n':\ l:nou wages, higher wages. I wou oW how that can be. [ would like to know how taxing the laboring man on evuyzhlhg from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet is going to enrioh him. (Laughter , plause.) Yet this is exactly what tI tafliff tax does. It texes him on what he m that cap I put on my head to keep It taxes him on his shirt, on bLis necltie, on his underclothes, on his' coat, on kis vest, on his breeches, on his stockings, poots, on everything, an they say that this is for the benefit of the laboring man. My friends, that is a very bold-faced statement if there ever was onc in theworld. But there is an- other thing about it. How is he to gét these igh wufesi ‘Why, he is to get them because his employer, the capitalist or the monopo- list, will make more money, and thereforo can afford to pay his employeés higher wages than he paid them before. I agree that he could; I agree that it increases his profits; I agree that he mlflxtl having these increased profits, pay his laboring mén more than they were paid before, But does he do it? That is the question, l(’AJ:puun and cries of #No,”* “No.”) i ou ever know nt it1 _ (Cries of *“No,” “No.") tariff has been raised again and again and again it was immenscly rased by the tariff of 1861 or 1362; I forget which of these years It was. It was raised in a few Xe"! again, and it has been raised again and again, and I have never been ablo to fiud a manufacturer or a capitalist who, upon the raising of the tariff, hag increased the price paid to his laborers. If there was such a case it has escaped the attention of everybody. Congressman Hatch of Missourl was the second speaker of the nfternoon, and he ably continuéd the discussion of the tariff ques- tion, especially devoting himself to the effeet of the tariff on the agricultural interests. At the conclusion of Congressman Hatch speech Alderman Christ Jacobs of Detro in the name of the Fifth ward democratic club of that city, presented Judge Thurman with & handsome gold headed cane. In nse to & neat presentation speech Judge Thurman made a brief speech of thanks for the gratitude shown him. Judge Thurman and family are the uests of Collector and Mrs. C.
