lOVE ROMANCE OF COUKT HERBERT BISMARCK
:ET C tBLE TO THE DISrATCH.J
LONDON, October 21 Copyrijlit. Tele
grains just received from Skibbercen, county
Cork, state that a heartrending scene was
witnessed at a meeting of the Board of
Guardians for the poor law union ot
Scbull. Believing that the Guardians had
power, as they ought tohave.of relieving the
distress caused by the failure of the potato
crop, a crowd of forlorn, ragged farmers
and laborers some of them bringing their
wives and children flocked into the little
town from Mizeuhcad, Crookhaven and
other remote seaboard districts.
Not a few were half naked and all liad a
starved appearance. Sympathizing towns
folk forn.cd the poor creatures into a sort
of pioccssion, which marched to the
Board room. Some of the visitors carried
on sticks, black cloth banners upon which
were written in rude characters, "Work,
not chiri'.y, we want;" "Thousands for co
ercion, not a penny for employment," and
other similar device.
Only Diseased 1'otatocs to Hat.
They besiegid the Board room, and to an
accompaniment of sobs and wails, told piti
ful tales of their sufferings. They declared
that most of the people were already half
-tarviug, as the only things they could get
to eat were the diseased potatoes. They were
noxious to get work, and would prefer Ibat
to any other form of relief.
Some of the guardians were deeply af
fected, but were compelled to tell their
wretched petitioners that the law did not
permit the Board to grant relief in the form
demanded, although if any of them claimed
shelter and food as inmates of the work
house, room might be found for them. The
people wept bitterly upon receiving this re
ply, and retired disconsolate.
There is grave reason to believe that se
rious distress already prevails in the re
moter districts, not only of Cork but oi other
counties, but tne authorities are still en
gaged upon their preliminary inquiries, and
the much-vaunted relief works are still in
the paper stage.
Irish Leader, Shadowed by Spies.
The powers that be find time, however, to
enforce the coercion act. In the Tipperary
Court to-day Kclmond appealed to the
bench that it might use its influence to pre
vent the system of shadowing which has
been so widely indulged in by the officials,
particularly in regard to himself and his
clients. Judje Ir ring, the magistate, said
the bench had no power to take any steps in
the matter.
Acting Sorceant Ilobson, whose examina
tion was not completed when the court ad
jt urncd last night was recalled. As soon
as he had reached the stand the witness in
formed the bench that since leaviug the
court room last night he had been told that
his family would no longer be supplied with
milk. Mr. Dillon, one of the counsel, here
interrupted and said that the witness had
very evidently been primed to say what he
did. At this the witness indignantly ex
claimed: "I deny the charge."
Magistrate Irwin considered for a moment
and then said quietly: "We can only ex
press our regret that such a state of things
should exist in this town."
An Appeal for Impartiality.
Mr. Condon, one of the prisoners, re
sponded to this warmly by saying: "The
bench refused to offer an opinion in refer
ence to the showing made by our counsel,
yet it sees fit to express opinions upon this
natter, and most unfair ones, also, I think."
"There are plenty ot places where a man
can get milk," added Mr. Dillon.
Other persons in the court room took np
the story of the milk boycott, and quite an
auimatcd colloquy ensued. Mr. llonan, the
prosecutor, held that the witness was enti
tled to say he had suffered intimidation since
the previous day, and explained that in the
superior courts snch an occurrence would be
taken notice of. Magistrate Shannon re
plied to this by saying: "You know our
powers are much more circumscribed than
are those of the Superior Court."
Balfour Prejudicing the Case.
"I wish it were the Superior Court," Mr.
Dillon said quickly. "1 could then made
an application for a reference on a man who
is guilty of gross contempt of court I
mean the Chief Secretary, Mr. Balfour. I
have complained that the Chief Secretary
has been prejudicing my ca&e, and now 1
have to ask lor a summons that he mav be
brought here and state on oath' what was
said at Newcastle."
"We do not intend to be made the me
dium of anything illegal," answered Magis
trate Irving.
Butler, the tenant of O'Brien, gave evi
dence of the removal of his cattle from the
grass land belonging to Mr. Smith Barry
and the refusal of Dalton to give any more
grass. During the examination of this
witness several boisterous scenes occurred
in the court room and the proceedings were
frequently interrupted by friends of the
prisoners. The Court vras compelled tnally
to demand silence under penalty of extreme
measures.
A Compromise Which Fell Through.
It has transpired that Balfour had made
an arrangement with Mr. Parnell whereby
the latter's proposals and ideas were to be
embodied in a land purchase bill, to be pre
sented at the last session of Parliament
Mr. Parnell unexpectedly proposed a scheme
for the limited purchase of land, and the
proposition appeared so fair and unobjee
able that the Government was seriously
considering it. The curiously respectful
tone of a subsequent speech by Balfour
when referring to Parnell and this plan sug
gested to' the watchful and suspicious ob
servers of public affairs that there was some
thing in the wind unknown to them and the
public generally.
It is now alleged that this compact over
the land purchase bill was practically set
tled between these leaders, but was bitterly
opposed by Messrs. Dillon nd O'Brien, and
so violent did they make their opposition
that it broke up the deal, and the bill there
fore came to nothing. It is now further as
serted that so angry was Balfour at this that
he revenged himself by unexpected Tip
perary prosecution, and that being the
cause of the action it makes Balfour's
chagrin and annoyance at their escape the
more violent.
YANKEE THIEVES CAUGHT.
EXPERT AMERICAN JEWELRY SHARPS
ARRESTED IN LONDON.
Fasliionable English Dealers in Precious
atones Victimized by the Party of Three
The Trick of DUerting the Shopman's
Attention Worked With Great Success.
rnr duxlap's cable compact'.
London, October 21. During the last
few months the fashionable jewelers both at
the West End and in the city have been
victimized by a gang of expert American
thieves consisting of a man and two women,
who are always stylishly dressed. The
method in which they work is as follows:
They select some first-class jeweler as their
victim and visit his shop. Then they ask to
be shown some of his choicest diamond
goods, and while they are being served they
divert the attention of the shopman for a
moment. In that instant one of them is able
to secret some valuable jewels.
To-day they were arrested. Their names
are Robert Alfred Wright, 50 years of age,
a Canadian, who is described as a jeweler,
and Frances Irving, aged 29, an American,
who said she was a married wuman, and
Alice Coady. 28, also an American. They
stole a diamond broocb and pendant, lrom
Messrs. Edward, No. 1 Poultry, E. C. This
morning they handed over the brooch, which
they bad managed to conceal, andwhictn
worth 150. When the women were taken into
custody diamond earrings and other prop
erty worth about 100, the proceed, it is be
lieved, of the robberies, were found on them,
as well as a diamond brooch which Miss
Coad was attempting to conceal in her hat.
In addition to these valuables, 60 in bank
notes was als found on them when they
were searched.
It appears that they intended leaving for
America on one of the steamers on Satur
day. The three prisoners were remanded
for a week. Tne prisoners arrived in Lon
don during the latter part of June Mr.
Benson, one of the largest firms of jewelers
on Ludgate Hill and Bond street, says:
"The revelations of this case are only in
their infancy. Every leading jeweler in
.London has been victimized and our house
is perhaps the only one ot" the leading peo
ple in the trade. that.hasBcaped."
A reporter i-ierViewed -iJetecUve Egan

the prisoners are a clever gang of American
thieves who are always prowling between
America and England. The woman

Address at Edinburgh on the Irish Ques
tion by the Grand Old Man.
By Associated Press. 1
London, October 21. Mr. Gladstone ad
dressed an audience ot 5,000 persons at
Edinburgh this evening. The country now
fully recognized that the Irish questions
must be settled before all others. The op
ponents ot home rule had hoodwinked their
constituencies by pledging themselves to a
mild policy, yet their first favorite measure
after gaining power was coercion. The
Conservatives took credit for setting Ire
Jand right by firm and resolute government
Their administration of the law was worse
than the law itself.
Mr. Gladstone then referred to the Tip
perary affair. It was grossly illegal, he
said, to close the doors of the Court House
against the people. The appointment of
Magistrate Shannon to try the case was a
gross scandal, not merely because he was an
execntive officer, but also because he had
been involved in a serious personal alterca
tion with Mr. Dillon. If such tricks were
played in England by wantonness of power,
a very short way would be found to remedy
such abuse. After the examples of
police misconduct at Mitchelstown, and
Tipperary it was impossibly to respect the
police or the administration of law by the
police. Absenteeism, which was among the
lowes. signs of degradation in the last cent
ury, seemed now a constant habit the Irish
Minister flaunting his absence in the face of
the people. The Government vaunted itself
on peace in Ireland, yet kept six times more
fiolicemen there than in England and Scot
and. Tf the Government would grant a
general election the state of public opinion
would prove that the country was won over
to home rnle.

IT ALL BESTS WITH THE-HOUSE NOW
Brica Says Campbell is Eight, and Calls on
the Democrats to
SUPPORT THE GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE
(SPECIAL TELEOBAV TO TUX DISPATCH. 1
Columbus, October 21. Senator-elect
Biice has had charge of the Democratic
elements since last evening, and it looks to
night as if he would have the legislative
trouble settled by to-morrow. He has
astonished many in his counsels for
harmony by taking into his confidence
those who were his enemies daring the
Senatorial canvass. He has had the confi
dence and been in consultation with Gov
ernor Campbell the greater part of the day.
While Brice was supposed to be.not favor
able to the position of Campbell he has
looked the ground over, and believes the
Governorjis about right in his position, an d
called upon the Democratic members to
give him their support for his message sug
gestions. The result has been a bill in the Senate,
to which an amendment was attached, pro
viding for the abolishment of the Board
of Improvements at Cincinnati and a new
non-partisan board to be appointed by the
Mavor to serve till April, when an election
shall be held.
republicans favor the bill.
The bill passed with only two votes
against it and these consisted of Hamilton
county members who are enemies of the
Governor, and one of them afterward
changed. The Republicans all voted for
the bill and it is understood the same course
will be followed in the House to-morrow,
when it is thought there will be enough
votes to suspend the rules and pass at once.
The Republicans had previously refused
to support a measure of this kind unless it
provided the Board of Improvements should
be permanent instead of going to the people
at the spring election, but they made a con
cession on a suggestion contained in a tele
gram from ex-Governor Foraker at Cincin
nati, who advised the Republican caucus
this afternoon to support the bill.
There is considerable comment on the
course of the Republicans in following the
dictation of Foraker, and, it is claimed br
some Democrats, this is the only feature of
the measure which could in any respect
compass its defeat The Campbell Demo
crats preferred to co-operate with the Re
publicans rather than suffer defeat at the
hands of the Hamilton county delegation
and the lobbyists from that city in the in
terest of the board, but they would much
rather have joined with the Democrats on
some compromise measure which would
have born the stamp of solid party support,
TRIMMINGS TOR DEMS.
There is some talk that the bill may be
amended and placed in shape to make it
agreeable to all Democrats. The successful
Senate bill is strictly in accord with the
suggestions in the Governor's message.
The Democrats of the House held a caucus
this aftern ,n and decided to pass the bill,
whici will give the Governor power
to remove- the members of the
Board of Improvement for cause only
and fixing the election for AprfL It is sub-stantiallyilje-atire
bill as defeated in the
House by Democratic votes last week. The
measure is being engineered by the enemies
of Campbell. The Governor was asked
what he thought of the House bill, and
stated it could not pass, and it had only
been suggested as a piece of obstruction, but
it would not win.
The Governor has telegraphed all absent
Democratic members and expects to have
them all here to-morrow. The best infor
mation to be gathered from the Republican
members is they will support the Senate
bill. Democratic friends of Campbell in
both branches called to congratulate him to
night The House appointed a committee
this morning and asked the Governor to
send in his message again, and censuring
the Speaker for his slight to Campbell last
evening.
HAMILTON COUNTY INDIGNANT.
The message was read in both bodies and
referred to the Judiciary Committee. The
Republicans of the House Committee re
ported, indorsing the message.
The Democrats declined to act It created
indignation on the part of Hamilton county
members. It recommended a change from his
former message by having the election in
April instead of November, and gave the
reasons. It recommends a non-partisan
board to be appointed by the Mayor. He
says since the session opened only those
came here as lobbyists who are personally
interested in the hoard, and this should con
demn it. in closing tne message tne Gov
ernor says:
Let the handful of schemers who aro scuffling
fn the dirt before you, hoping: for some petty
personal train, be overlooked. Remember the
great body of the people of Ohio who stand
amazed at tho scenes enacted here last week,
who bavo read with disgust that notorious
lobbyists sat in the halls of legislation, openly
directing the votes and speeches of members,
are fast learning to dispise those
who obstruct honest government and
home rule. The plain duty before you is to
permit no deviation from the path marked out.
Let no specious amendment or change be per
mitted. Do not swerve a hair's breadth from
your purpose to wipe out the board and
eventually submit the whole question to the
people. From this time any and all proposi
tions other than this are meant for partisan ad
vantage only. There is no middle ground. To
delay longer is a confession of incapacity. To
refuse to pass the bill is a confession of infi
delity. METAL MEN IN KENTUCKY.

DIVIDED AT THE COFFIN.
NO RECONCILIATION OF THE FAMILY AT
WM. SPHAGUE'S FUNERAL.
Tho Mother Not AUowed to Take a last
Look at the Young Suicide Ex-Governor
Spraguo Steps Between Her and the
Dead,
rsPECIAI. TXLXQBAH TO THE DI8PATCII.1
NabraoansetPier, October21. Tnere
was an affecting scene at the funeral of Wil
liam Sprague to-day, which at one time
threatened to be of a decidedly sensational
nature. There was no reconciliation even
at the coffin of the son. The family was di
vided and the line was rigidly drawn.
The entire family of the ex-Governor
drove from Canonchet at au early
hour, the remains of the boy being
conveyed to St, Pe'ter's Church. Mrs. Kate
Chase Came down on the early train and
was a guest at Green's Inn. Her daughters
joined her in'Proyidence. Mrs. Chase sent
one of the most magnificent of floral offer
ings, with an embossed mourning card on
which was penned byMrs. Chase: "From
an ever loving and devoted mother, Mrs.
Kate Chase Spragoe." The ex-Governor
had previously had a floral pillow placed
upon the gold mounted coffin.
The little party of mourners composed of
Mrs. Chase's family, formed an interesting
group. On the opposite side of the churcn
sat another group of six people, ex-Governor
Sprague being the most conspicuous.
Beside him sat his second wife, and also in
this pew was a little girl, the daughter of
the deceased by Avis Weed, the present
wife of Colonel Wheaton. The custodian
of the little girl was Edith Weed, now the
wife of Prof. Eaton, of Lynn. Near the
Chases sat Colonel Wheaton and wife. Only
occasionally did the Governor look over at
the pew occupied by the Chases. He cov
ered his face with a silk hat. His present
wife was, like Mrs. Kate Chase, in deep
mourning. Most of the party were in or
dinary attire.
It was announced that the coffin would
not be opened. Mrs. Chase was prevented
from viewing -the remains. She showed
cfearly that she was disconcerted and greatly
disappointed. Once she made an effort to
leave the pew and move toward the coffin,
but she was restrained by the friends who
were by her side. When the bearers moved
down the aisle with the coffin, which was to
be sent to Providence and Swanport, ex
Governor Sprague, as if expecting some
movement by Mrs. Chase, left his pew
suddenly and walked in the first place be
hind the coffin.
Mrs. Sprague was overcome with grief,
and sank sobbing in a pew only to be sym
pathized with by a number of the old
Canonchet servants and her friends, and a
most touching scene ensued, she kissing the
old servants, while they broke down and
wept like children, as they clustered around
her. Finally she went to her hack and was
driven past the hearse to the Columbus
Hotel, where she awaited the train.
ON THE PRESIDENT'S MIND.
Harrison Trying to Decide What to Do
About Calling an Extra Session.
. T rSPECIAL TELBPBAU TO TUB DISPATCILt
Washington, October 21. President
Harrison is having a hard time of it in try
ing to decide what to do about
calling an extra session of Congress.
There is no longer any doubt as to .his
own preference in relation to the matter.
Personally, he is strongly in favor of an
extra session, and if he dared he would call
one to-morrow. Furthermore, he is exerting
all his influence to unite the Republican
party on this question and on the affirmative
side of it. He makes a practice of talking
about tbs.proposed extra session with all the
Republican 'politicians who call on him at
the White House and endeavors to convert
the doubters to bis way of thinking, but he
has encountered so much opposition thai he
is afraid to -carry out his wish, and it is un
derstood that he is much provoked at the
recalcitrants.
There is so much house-cleaning going on
in the White House that the President finds
it expedient to beat a retreat. He will go
off duck shooting probably to-morrow or
next day, in company with Attorney Gen
eral Miller, Secretary Halford, ex-Senator
Sewell and the Rev. John A. Anderson, of
Kansas, and will not return before Saturday,

rSFECIAL TELEQBAU TO TUB PISPATCII.1
North Adams, Mass., October 21. A
young lady named Miss Maggie O'Brien
has been in a trance-like state since last
Friday evening.and has caused considerable
of a sensation iu this vicinity.
Last Friday she took gas at the office
of Dentist Dox, recovered fully fiom

complained of drowsiness, and, lying down,
fell into a sleep from which no effort could

New Orleans, October 21. The police
say that all the preliminary work in the
Hennessey matter is finished as far as they
are concerned. The guilty parties are un
doubtedly under arrest and the evidence to
substantiate this is already in their posses
sion. Next Tuesday, the 23th, is the day
fixed upon which the detectives will be-
ready to go into the examining trial of the
15 men now under arrest. Four of these
are charged directly with the murder, while
the others are charged with being accessories
both before and after the fact.
The Provenzano-Matrango case, ont of
which the shooting of Hennessey grew, will
not be tried to-morrow, District Attorney

CHAIRMAN ANDREWS ANSWERED
In Another Open Lotter From the Lincoln
Independents.
GOV. HILL AT THE HOME OP M'EINLET
Senator Quay pnt in a hard day's work at
the Seventh Avenue Hotel yesterday. It is
estimated by observers
that he saw not less than
200 people. They were
at the hotel waiting for
him early in the morn
ing, and they staved with
him all day, until he re
turned to Beaver with
Sam P. White in the evening.
Senator Cameron was not feeling well,
and Senator Qnay was too busy, so the ex
pected conference between the Senators did
not take place. Senator Quay will be in
Pittsburg again to-day, when the meeting
will be held at least, this was the under
standing. As reported, Senator Quay's business here
was to meet the County Chairmen in West
ern Pennsylvania, to hear reports and to see
what funds they will need to carry their
counties for Delamater. It is difficult for
reporters to get at the real situation, but
among such a nnmber somebody is sure to
leak.
SOME COUNTY CnAIEMEN BATTLED.
Some of the Chairmen were badly rattled,
and there is no use denying that the leaders
regard the situation as serious. About ?J00
was pnt in Washington, and four times as
much was given to one Chairman whose
county looked very dubious.
Colonel Huff is expected to take cue of
Westmoreland. Senator Quay, it is
claimed, has no particular love for the
Colonel, btit nnder the circumstances he
was willing to sacrifice Ms personal wishes
to gain a point, and Colonel Huff was se
lected by Chairman Andrews to run for
Congress in the Twenty-first district.
Some of the Chairmen seen in Pittsbarg
yesterday were: A. L. Ivory, Clarion; J.
L. Brownlee, Washington; A. P. Mar
shall, of Beaver; H. L. Rankin, ot Fayette;
It. W. Munnell, of Greene; H. J. Hayes, of
Armstrong, and some others.
Quite a number of candidates for the
Legislature had been called in to see Sena
tor Cameron. Among the candidates who
visited him at the Duquesne were G. W.
Campbell and John R. Byrne, of Fayette,
and Sam B Cochran, of Armstrtpe. Mr.
Byrne admitted that both he and Campbell
had a good fight to make to win in Fayette.
Friends ofMr. Coehransay he is the only
legislative candidate in danger in Arm
strong county, but they thinK he will pull
through all right ,
Senator Cameron, who is anxious to have
the trouble in the Washington-Bpaver Sena
torial district fixed up and the candidate
pledged to support him, had talks with
Colonel Hawkins and Sam P. White. He
didn't get a ray of sunshine out of either.
Both of them admitted that if they remained
in the field Mr. Dunlap, the Democratic
candidate, would be elected, bnt neither
would consent to withdraw in favor of the
other.
"WON'T TAKE A SECOND DOSE.
"This nomination belongs to me," said
Mr. White, "and I will not withdraw, as I
did four years ago. Xiet mem take the dose
this time as I did once. I won't do it
again."
"I would vote for Cameron," remarked
Colonel Hawkins after the conference, "if I
were elected. I will stay in the fight, how
ever, and the only outcome will be the elec
tion of a Democrat."
Outside of securing the vote, Senator
Cameron is not interested in the contest.
Several appeals were made to Senator Quay
during the day to pull Mr. White off the
track, but he refused. When he left for
Beaver last evening the Senator said: "It
will be either White or a Democrat"
E. F. Acheson, of the Washington 06
scrvcr, tried to patch np the difficulty, but
he couldn't get either of the candidates to
come to terms. It therefore looks as if Mr.
Cameron will lose a vote in the Washington
Beaver district
Concerning the situation in the State, it
was learned from various people yesterday
that the outlook is critical. Senator Cam
eron refused to give an opinion, but to a
friend he said, with lamb-like ignorance:
"I had supposed the State was all right, and
Philadelphia in particular, but now I hear
there is plenty ot tronble in that city."
Judge Harry White stated that Harrison
had carried Indiana county with a majority
of 2,800 votes, but he didn't believe Dela
mater would have more than 1,200.
SOME OF THE SPECULATION.
Some of the most carefnl country leaders
seemed to think that Delamater's majority
would be what he got in Philadelphia; that
he would come down to that city from the
State at large, holding Pattison even. They
all admit that Allegheny county is in bad
shape, and that the situation is growing
worse every day in Philadelphia.
James Mctsner, ot x.ne, lormerfy Presi
dent of the Allegheny Conncils, was at the
Duquesne yesterday. He had just returned
from Philadelphia, where he tried to get
into the public meeting of tbe Independent
Republican Club, but failed, on account
of the great crowd. He thinks there
are a number of Republicans in
the Quaker City who will bolt the ticket
He also believes that Delamater will hardly
carry his own county. In the southern
part of Erie county the farmers are redbot
for Pattison, and correspondingly cool to
ward Delamater. On the whole, he thinks
there is a considerable kick all around
against the ticket
William Henry, of Armstrong, Chief of
the Indian Division in the Treasury at
Washington, who has been home for several
weeks working for Delamater, said that the
Republican candidate would have at least
600 of a majority in his county.
HUSTLE ALL ALONG THE LINE.
The four rooms which Senator Quay oc
cupied at the Seventh Avenue yesterday
were very quiet last evening. The poli
ticians had gone home to rest and then to
work. The field marshal has given his
orders, and it will be hnstle all along the
line. Senator Qnay ocenpied one room as
a sort of inner sanctum, where he received
the varions delegations and found out what
they needed to insure success.
It was learned last evening that (2,400
was placed in Armstrong county to
strengthen some weak places. Among the
politicianswho called on Senator Quay were
noticed D. B. Heiner, who was indorsed by
Armstrongcounty Republicans for Congress,
Postmaster Teagarden and Deputy Col
lector J. K, P, Rinehartj ot Wayuesburg. J

to-night, about 1,500 men being in line. An
old skating rink, accommodating 2,000 peo
ple, was filled to overflowing when the Gov
ernor was introduced. He was vigorously
applauded as he stepped to the front of the
stage at 9 p. M., and made a speech which
was frequentfy applauded. Among other
things, he said:
The great issne is the record of tha Repub
lican party In its brier control of Congress. No
party has more recklessly defied precedents.
It has cared nothing for tho Constitution,
nothing for the Treasury. The party has in
creased its majority in the Honse of Repre
sentatives by arbitrarily ejecting Democrats
from their seats. The Republican Congress
has made the American farmer's living even
more expensive than it has hitherto been. It
has heavily taxed nearly every article of wear,
many ot his agricultural implements, his build
ing materials and his household furniture. All
over tho country the effect of such legislation
has already been to increase the prices of dry
goods and other household necessities. Not all
of this Increase is perhaps justifiable under tho
provisions of the new law, but sharp merchants
have been quick to take advantage of the op
portunity which McKlnley has offered them,
and the poor consumer is the victim.
The other party recommends free admission
of raw materials used In manufacture. It is
ready to encourage that international trade
whlcu will keep our farmers and mills busy to
supply foreign wants, thereby giving steady
employment to labor, increasing wares becansn
of the increased demand for labor, bringing
hundreds or millions of wealth into the conn
try. Talk about reciprocity this is retaliation,
embargo, prohibition. Well might Blaine com
plain that the McKlnley bill won't open a new
market for a single bushel of wheat or a barrel
of pork. Weourjhtto feel mighty grateful if
it does not deprive-us of what markets we do
have.
Then, in conclusion, he spoke of the con
test in the' Sixteenth Congressional district,
urging every Democrat to vote for John G.
Warwick, Democratic candidate, and said:
For McKinley, personally, I have the highest
respect But he has no just claim upon your
suffrages as Democrats. McKinley voted to de
prive nine honestly elected Democratic repre
sentatives of their seats In Congress. He voted
for tho Infamous force bill. His friends com
plain that his district has been "gerryman
dered," but McKIniey's voice is silent when
his party friends in other States have "gerry
mandered" other districts against the Demo
cratic party. Republican corruption money,
obtained from those who have received govern
mental favor, will be poured into this district
to debauch its electors. Vour Integrity is at
stake.

sana ions greeted Colonel Robert G,
Inger?( fo-night when he appeared on tha
stage to pay tribute to Walt Whitman, on
the occasion of the testimonial benefit to
the aged poet, who ocenpied a chair on the)1
stage with Colonel Ingersoll's wife and
daughter. Colonel Ingersoll wa3 received
with tremendous applause when he ap
peared, and his lecture was applanded at
short intervals from the beginning to tha
end. Among other things Ingersoll said:
"Walt Whitman announced the gospel ot tha
body. He confronted the people. He denied
the depravity of man. He insisted that love is"
not a crime. He taught the dlznity and glory
of tho father and mother, the sacredness of
maternity. Maternity, tender and pure as tha
tear of pity, holy as sufTerine the crown, tho
flower, the ecstacy of love. To mo the mosc
immoral word In onr langnage is celibacy.
Walt Whitman detended the sacredness of lovo
and purity of passion the passion that builds
every homo and fills the world with art and
song.
A PLEA OE INDIVIDUALITY.
Whoever differs from tho multitnde will find:
out from their leaders that he has committed,
an unpardonable sin. It is a crime to travel a

Colonel Ingersoll's preoration was equal
to anything he has ever done. He said:
ENTHUSIASTIC PEAISE.
As you read tho marvelous book or the person
called "Leaves of Grass," you feel tho freedom
of the antique world; yon bear the voices of tha
morning of tbe first singcr3, voices elemental as
tboso of sea and storm. The horizon enlarges,
the heavens grow ample, limitations aro for'
gotten, the realization of the will and tbe ac
complishment of the ideal will be within your
power. Obstructions become petty and disap
pear. Tho chains and bars are broken, and tha
distinctions of caste are lost.
The soul is in the open air. under tbe blue and
stars the flag of nature. Creeds, theories and
philosophies ruk to be examined, contradicted,
reconstructed. Prejudices disanpear, super
stitions vanish and custom abdicates. Tho
sacred places become highways, duties and de
sires clasp hands and become comrades and
friends. Anthority drops the scepter, tbe priest:
tbe miter and the purple falls from Lings.
The inanimate becomes articulate, tho mean
est and humblest things utter speech and tho
dumb and voicelessburst into song.
A. feeling of independence takes possession of
the oul, tne body expands, tbe blood flows full
and' free, superiors vanish, flattery is a lost art
and life becomes rich, royal and superb. Tha
world becomes a personal possession and tho
oceans, tho continents and constellations be
long to you. You are in the center, everything
"radiates from you and in your veins beats and
throbs the pulse of all life. You become a
rover, careless and free. You wander by tho
shores ot all seas and hear the eternal psalm.
A W-OED riCTUKE.
You feel the silence of tho wido forest, and
stand beneath the intertwined and over-arched
boushs, entranced with symphonies of winds'
and woods. You are borne on the tides oi
eager and switt rivers, hear the rush and roar
of cataracts as they fall beneath the seven-hued
arch, and watch the eagles as they circling
soar. You traverse gorges dark and dim, and
climb the scarred and threatening cliffs. You,
stand In orchards where the blossoms fail liter
snow, where the birds nest and sing, and painted
moths make sinless journeys throngh tha
happy air. You live the lives of those who till
tbe earth, and walk amid the perfumed fields,
bear tbe reaper's song, and feel tho breadth,
and scope of earth and sky. You are in tha
great cities, in the midst of multitudes of tha
endless processions. You aro on tbe wido
plains the prairies with hnnter and trapper,
with savage and pioneer, and you leel
tho soft grass yielding under your teet. You
sail in many sbip3 and breathe the free air oC
tho sea. You travel many roads and countless
paths, x ou visit palaces and prisons, nospitaia
and courts. You pity kings and convicts, and,
vour sympathy goes oat to all the suffering
and insane, tbo opprossed and even tha
infamous. Yon hear the din of labor, all
sounds of factory, field and forest, of all tools,
instruments and machines. You becomo
familiar with men and women of all employ
ments, trades and professions, with birth and
burial, with wedding feast and funeral chant.
You see tbe cloud and flame of war, and you,
enjoy tbe inelTablo perfect days of peace.
In this one book, in these wondrous "Leaves
of Grass," you find bints and suggestions,
touches and fragments, of all there is of lifo
that lies between the babe, whose rounded
cheeks dimple beneath bis mother's laughing
loving eyes, and the old man. snow-crowned,
who, with a smile, extends his band to death.
