Albany, Jan. H..Ths Ilepuhllcan Senate to¬

day passed, Ly a unanimous vote, a resolution

calling upon municipalities to give ns much em¬

ploy nant upon piddle works as ls possible to the

Iar..- number ol worthy workingmen who are

p,,\v put "f employment,\ resolution was passed last night by a labor

-rmi vent ion held In Albany calling upon the

legislature t<> invoke aid for the unemployed by

the various city governments. To-day Senator

Cantor, of New-Tork, Introduced the following

r. -lion:

Whereas There ure nt the present time over" i laborers without im-

r... ] rind unskilled lab irers

, m the city of New-York, nnd.'.ere

,,rn

adequate reliefwhereas, The! ls on account thereof great and

.,,,, and distress from humor ani

,. ly, and therefram private sources,Resolved, Thai ihe people of the statte of Now-

Torn, r ;¦: 'tented in Renate and *\ssembly, do h>re-

l-.v ,:¦ -.' the municipal ia r*ei¦!, ne-Ut of the city of

New-York lo da all in their power to Immediatelyforward thc constructton of ths public works.

In support of Ibis resolution Senator Cantor

said flint he proposed to put the Republicanmajority In the por-ltlon either of opposing the

lemand of ito' trade unions or of being false lo

th. lr promises should they oppose the bills

which were being prepared In New-York for the

constmet ion of public works In order to giveemployment to the unemployed.This declaration amuse,) the Republicans, and

Senator O'Connor for them said: "I do not

propose to buy any piKs In pokes. It would

be very foolish In my opinion for this Senate

to pledge Itself to favor legislation which lt

gas not seen, and I would like to Inquire why

Ike 1 .err,,.eratic patriots who are so vociferous

in expressing their sympathy for the poor did

r. t use their time In drawing up billa to give

them employment, rather than in presentingwindy resolutions. Why have not the authori¬

ties of New-Tork put the poor at work on that

famous Speedway ,,r in blotting from the face

of the earth that hideous reservoir at Forty-

BOCond-St. and Flfth-ave? You already have

legislation for that purposa. why don't you put

the poor at work? Permit me to respectfullyadvise the Democratic minority from New-Yorkto hsve their bills here by Monday night and

thus do something practical for the poor."Senator Lexow further worried the Democrats

by declaring that the resolution was palpably an

irfiingemt nt of home rule principles, accordingt democratic declarations, but he should, never¬

theless, favor lt. He believed also that the pres¬

ent distress was mainly due to the attack upon

the protective tariff made in the Wilson bill

which the Democrats were pushing. President

Cleveland should give aid to the workingmen by

abandoning the Wilson bill.

"You Republicans should not abuse PresidentCleveland." said Senator Caiiy, a Tammany Hall

liemocrat, "because he is tue man who crave you

your present power In the Senate. Your a tion

in assailing him is like tha' of the man who

criticises the bridge which has enable 1 him to

cross a tiver In safety and reach a land of

promise."This Indirect attack upon Cleveland by C.uy

greatly Interested the Republicans, and theywere "further amused by Senator O'Sullivan,Tammany Hal! Democrat, taking an entirelydifferent 'tack from Guy and def.-tiding the Wil¬

son tariff bill."I have a practical resoluti rn." sail "Tim"

Sullivan and offered th. following*!Resolved. If the Assembly concur, that a Joint j

committee of the Assembly and Senate be appointedto collect L''z per cont of the salaries of all State

officers for the relief of the poor.

Thia caused a latitrli. and Lleutenant-Oovernoi |Sheehan, who ls a State officer, looked distressed.Sullivan r.-senteil the lauftht-r. "I mean every

word I say," he loudly.declared. Hut his reso¬

lution waa ignored as a joke. Then Senator Par-F>ns, of Rochester, R. publican, broadened the

scope of the first resolution so as to Includeall cities by offering the following addition:

Resolved. That all the municipal authorities of the

State be requested to furnish employment to the

unemployi 1 in their various localities, as far as the

tame may b-- possible an 1 practicable, and under allCircumstances relieve th" distresses of the needy In

their midst..Senator Cogseshall supported this addition In

pn carnes* speech, caning attention t the thou-

sands of unemployed tn the manufacturingtowns ot the Btate. ile declared that all the

distress was due ta, the Wilaon Tariff bin. Heconcluded his speech by saying: "The Demo¬cratic Senators rome h. re and say: "For Qod'arake, pass this resolution, and make the Demo¬cratic authorities do what they ought te do.'"The resolution, With Senator Parsons's ex¬

cellent addition to lt, was th<-n passed by a

unanimous vote. As the Republicans have them. st votes they pave the most for lt.

S.-iiator Reynolds, of Brooklyn, Introduced a

bill to-day providing that at the coming fallelection the roten of the cities of Near-Tori.and Brooklyn shall be furnished with two bal¬lots, one "for" and one "against" the oonsoll-datl< n of the two cities. The "'for" ballot will

C. "tain the following: "For the rorsolldationcf the cities of New-T. rk and Ilrooklyn Into one

city, having an equally uniform rate of tax¬

ation." The negative balk)! is th reeerse f this.Senator Mullln introduced again to-day his

1ST TfI.P.c.-APH TO THE Tiimnis.l

Washington, Jan. ll.-A hint to the opponents

of th» Wilson bill who desire to have their

protest* brough! to th.* attention of Congress

as a body, and made fully effective, will not be out

of pla," Every petition, memorial and protest

should be addressed to the Senate and House of

Representatives, one copy should be tent to b

Senator, and another to B member of the House.

All such papers will be officially noted in the Jour¬

nals ot the two branches and in '"The Congressional

Record," and thereby become B part of the official

records of Congreaa. This precaution ls by no

m.,-, as unnecessary. Its observance, however,

ought not to Interfere with written or personal ap¬

pe;, iv to Senators and Representatives, compara¬

tively f.>f Whom will be likely to lenore them.

In Older to Show why the'precaution referred to

ls ,-i wise one, attention ls called to a slngl" fad.

showing first the n-ed of placing a higher duty

on clothing lhan on cloths, and second iii- insig¬

nificant proportion which the specific duty on Im-

ported cloths bears ta the retail price of i sup

of clothes. This letta: does not appear in the

"Tar'iY Hearings," published bv order of the com¬

mittee, and the consequence is that the valuabledacum-nt contains no accurate specific statement

on that subject. There is reason te believe that

many other communications were received by the

majority of ihe commltt'- after the public hearings

Closed, nnd before thc bill wns reported to the

House, hut no allusion to them ls to be found In tho

report of the malorlty.MORE THAN MB PROTESTS SENT IN".

When the members of the minority framed th»lr

j objection* to the bill, thev had received more than

f,an protests from thirty-five States and Territories

against the placing of wool on the free list, show¬

ing the languishing condition of the wool growing

Industry on account of the threat to do tao. and the

probable effect. If R should be executed. Of course

these protests will be more effective after they

¦hall have been n«if»d In ."The f'onirresslonnl Rec¬

ord." where Senators nnd Representatives will be

sure to see them. The mere fact that more than

lon protests BagataBI a simile provision of the bill

have been received by members of the minority

of the r-ommtttro ls a siring Indication, if not act-

nal evidence, of the fact that many hundreds of

other protests have been received bv Democratic

ns well as Republican members of the committee

nealnst other provisions ns well as against the bill

itself.In placing wool on the free list, the majority hts

disregarded nnd treated with cool contempt not

only the appeals nnd profits of the flock-owner-,

whose ln'.rests ar.- placed In Jeopardy, but the

opinions of nn a.verwhelmlnc majority of the woollen

manufacturers of the i'nited states. In spite of the

assertion cf Mr LatSkO, the Austrian woollen

manufacturer, to the contrary. IBven the Arr ra i-i

besides those mentioned have come protests fromwool-growers bearing testimony as strong as thatwhich ha_s been quoted.
