tET BURLAP'S CABLE COJtrAJCT.l
London. October 30. The Times -will
print in to-morrow (FridBy) morning's paper
the interview below with Mr. ELM. Stanley,
Queenstown. In accordance with instruc
tions a reporter boarded the Tnetonic and
tliowed Mr. Stanley the second installment
of Lieutenant Troup's interview in Boston.
He read it carefully, and said it contained
only general charges which might have been
expected, but which called for no further
explanations from him.
The reporter asked if he did not desire to
give the facts which the public was asking
for, and he replied:
"I haTe nothing to add to my report con
tained in the last chapter of the first volume
of my book relative to the wreck of the rear
column of the expedition, the particulars of
which were furnished me by the surviving
officers of that column.
STANLEY HOLDS THE OFFICIAL BEPOBTS.
"The statement I have made in the book
and since its publication was based upon
written reports of those officers. All I de
sire to say is if the reports which are about
to be published by the officers differ in any
important sense from the official reports
which they furnished me, X shall feel bound
to publish fully the official reports which
are now in my possession."
"Does not the interview with Lieutenant
Troup differ from his official report, Mr.
Stanley?"
"Lieutenant Troup's statements are Tery
general, and do not touch the real points at
I'sue He says he is waiting for me to bring
the charges. I intend to make no charges
until X find whether the officers of the rear
column will stultify themselves by publish
ing reports differing from their official state
ment to me."
HE CALLS THE CHABGES VAGUE.
"The officers of the rear column are at
perfect liberty to publish any details of the
expedition they think proper, but I do not
th:sk that Lieutenant Troup is explaining
anything by these vagne, general charges,
nor by the violent and intemperate language
to nas used to exonerate himself."
''You have Lieutenant Troup's official re
port, Mr. Stanley?"
"Yes, and I find the same fault with
Troup's language now that I found with his
official report which I asked him to modify
so that it might be fit for publication in my
book and not be an outrage on public feel
ing. Troup declined to do this, consequently
I declined to publish the report, the
language contained in it being of an ex
tremely violent character.
"Do you know why the officers of the rear
column appeared to be animated by ill feel
ing toward you, Mr. Stanley?"
HATBED BOUSED Br CENSURE.
"Yes, it is Tery easy to explain. It must
not be forgotten that the cause of the con
troversy is the violent resentment the offi
cers of the rear column have against the
general censure cast upon them in my letter
to the Emm Pasha Belief Committee in
August, 1888. It was written by me fresh
after hearing the horrible details of the
wreck of the rear column. I wrote that the
rear column was wrecked by the irresolu
tion of the officers, the neglect or their prom
ises and their indifference to the interest of
the expedition. I cannot now modify that
censure. How the duty of one and all of
the surviving officers is to tell thei- stories
plainly ana simply, and the public may
have the chance of judging whether my
view of their conduct is too harsh or un
just. That is all I have to say."

Great Drawback in a Costly Cure for Dread
Consumption.
:bt dcnlap's cable compant.i
Berlin, October 30. Particulars in re
gard to a cure for consumption invented by
Professor Koch state that metallic salts are
used in the preparation of the lymph. The
lymph, having killed the bacillus, acts as a
medium to re-establish the patient's health
by its inherent heating powers, and also
fortifies him against the farther invasions of
the bacillus.
The lymph is obtained by a long and ex
tremely difficult process at great cost, and
the cure will therefore be available only for
the aealthy, if the remedy is not bought by
the Governments of the different countries
for the general benefit of humanity, like
smokeless powder for instance. The doctors
who have seen its working declare 'that the
new invention is greater than the discovery
of chloroform or the antiseptic treatment
which was found out by Sir Joseph Lister.

London, October 30. It is stated in the
Conservative clubs that it has been arranged
that Lord Randolph Churchill shall once
more give his services to the Conservative
party which feels he should be restored to
actual public life with a responsibility
worthy of his great ability. The result of a
series of conferences held at the Carlton
Club and ot a good deal of correspondence
is that Lord Randolph will under no circum
stances join the present ministry, but on a
change of government he will be offered the
leadership or the opposition in the House of
Commons.
Lord Randolph has signified his assent
and the Tories" are preparing for an early
appeal to the country and frankly admit
that a change in the Government is likely.
The originators of this understanding are
exultant over the success of what tbey open
ly contend secures to the Conservative party
the powerful aid of Lord Randolph at the
general election.

Colonel Lewis Not Implicated In the Doings

London, October 30. The story told by
Mr. Stevens, of Montreal, in regard to the
"Colonel," the friend of Birchall at Morley's
Hotel, Trafalgar square, which was cabled
here, is based on a complete misapprehen
sion. The "Colonel" in question is Colonel
J. E. Lewis, ot No. 11 Wall street, New
York, who was in London at the time
of the murder. The gentleman is well
known in business circles and was merely a
casual acquaintance of Birchall, intro
duced to him at Morley's Hotel. Birchall
afterward left suddenly for Canada, leaving
his baggage in Colonel Lewis' room. The
latter turned it over to the manager of the
hotel.
The attempt to connect Colonel Lewis

Dublin, October 30. To-day Mr. Bal

drove through the wildest part of Conne

During the latter part of the journey Mr.
Balfour rode on the outside of the cars. The

after paying a tribute to the memory ot

THE FRENCH TARIFF.
PARIS M. Roche, Minister of Com
merce, explained the new tariff bill to the
Tariff Committee to-day. The object of the
maximum and minimum system, he said,
was to avoid inconveniences connected with
the most favored nation clause in any treaty
with a foreign power. The Government
might make a bad. bargain in granting
benefits in such a clause to a nation yield
ing but slight advantages to France. But
under the present bill any country getting
minimum tariff privileges must grant con
siderable reductions in existing duties, be
sides placing France in as favorable a posi
tion as any other nation. The Government
reserved the right to decide whether the
minimum tariff privileges should be
granted for a fixed period or for an un
limited period.

Van J. A Gel, the confidential clerk of L.
H. Harris & Co., wholesale druggists, has
fallen from grace through a love of gaiety
and questionable methods of obtaining the
necessary money. The young man Is mar
ried, and has a beautiful home on Ridge
avenue, Allegheny. The house was ele
gantly furnished, and the young man has
been living high for some time. He went
to such extravagance that bis neighbors were
surprised. Diamond rings, costly jewelry,
and all the requisites of the highest fash
ionable society were common things
with him. At last, the crash came.
His firm became apprised- of his lavish
use of money, and began to look at
their books. Their suspicions finally ended
in the discovery that some $10,000," so it is
said, of their money was missing. Abel
was called into the office last Friday and
confessed. He was quietly arrested and his
father telegraphed for. The latter came,
and the young man is now out on bail,
pending a settlement.

THAT MEXICAN RETALIATIOK.
A Mexican Newspaper Denies That Stock
Duty is Increased.
Chicago, October 30. The dispatches
from Kansas City that Mexico has placed a
duty of $500 a car on American cattle does
not seem to woiry the commission men at
the stock yards here, though the matter was
lreely discussed to-day. Major Powers, Vice
President of the National Cattle Growers'
Association, said in an interview: "We
receive more stock from them than they do
from us. The effect will be to prevent those
engaged in the business lrom carrying it
farther, and will make residents of Mexico
eat beef raised there. The effect is bad."
C. W. Baker, Secretary of the Chicago Live
Stock Exchange, said: "It is spite work,
and will not last long."
A dispatch from Kansas City says: Re
garding the prohibitory Mexican duties on
American cattle, the following dispatch
from the City of Mexico received here to
day seems to be authentic:
"There is no additional duty on live stock
other than that which has been in force dur
ing the past 12 months. The tariff is being
revised, and should a new dutv be imposed
bv the Government due notice and time
will be given shippers." The dispatch is
signed by The Two Republics newspaper.

The Latest Phase of the African Ex

LIEUTENANT TROUP AGAIN LEAKS.
He Furnishes Copies of Bis Correspondence
With Stanley.
CHIEF FEATURES BROUGHT TO LIGHT
SPECIAL TELIORAM TO TBS DISPATCH.!
Boston, October 30. J. Rose Troup has
consented to the publication of his corre
spondence with Mr. Stanley, upon which is
based the controversy now going on by
cable. The farst letter is from Troup to
Stanley and is dated Cairo, Egypt, Decem
ber 4, 1889. In this Troup relates the fact
of Sir Francis De Winton having begun in
Stanley's name an action against him and
making a defense for having deserted the
rear camp. In closing he says:
I feel that in every way 1 iulfllled the ex
plicit instruction given me by you, one of
which was on tbe completion of my special
work to report to Major Barttelot and place my
self under bis orders. Having a clear con
science In all these matters,-! appeal to you,
one who knows me and has acknowledged my
previous services In Africa, to suspend further
public comment until the true course of events,
both in Africa and In Kngland, have been fully
laid before you,
COMPETITION 'WITH STANLEY'S BOOK.
Sir F. De Winton himself states that it is no
personal enmity toward me that has influenced
his action, but that he considered the publica
tion of my book would interfere with tbe sale
of your forthcoming work. This was his justi
fication for bringing an action against me. X
think this will strike you. as it did me. as a
very ridiculous idea, for no book of mine could
compete with yours, and I cannot arrogate to
myself tbe power to injure yon in the matter,
as suggested by Sir F. DeWinton.
If I believed my publication would have
caused you pecuniary loss, in spite of all that
hasoccuncd, I should have hesitated before
carrying out my intention, for I would have
been must unwilling to be tbe cause of injury
to one under whom I have served, and if I may
be allowed to say it, for whom I entertain so
much admiration. I trust, under all the cir
cumstances, you will pardon the length of this
explanation.
I beg you to remember me with all kindness
and cordiality to my late comrades, the other
officers of the expedition. Looking forward to
seeing you all before long, I remain, yours
faithfully, J. Rose Troup.
As he failed to receive any reply to the
above letter he wrote again, enclosing a copy
of it. Stanlev replied on July 5, 1890:
EEFLECTIONS ON THE JIAJOK.
I am sorry that the great demands on my
time from various people and varying circum
stances will not permit me to reply at any great
length to your letter. I have before this re
ceived your written statement, but, as I wrote
to you, the intemperato language and the re
flections on the Major required eliminating be
fore it could enter my book.
Mr. Herbert Ward wrote a statement also,
but, as you observe, it Is a clear.; straightfor
ward narrative, and it was published by mo in
justice to him. You decline to alter your
statement so as to relate your narrative from
your point of view without heedlessly attack
ing nue who is dead and cannot answer for him
self, and you could showno letter or written com
munication from the Major which would prove
that vou protested against certain resolutions
which involved the rear column In disaster and
subjected its members to appalling suffering. A
mere glance at your contract ought to convince
you, on reviewing all. that you have failed in
tbe programme of your duty.
First 1 agree to place myself under the com
mand of Mr. H. M. Stanley, and to accept any
postal position in that expedition to which he
may appoint me.
FAITHFULNESS QUESTIONED.
Second I agree to serve him loyally and de
votedly; third, to obey all orders; fourth, to
follow him by whatever route he may choose;
fifth, to use my utmost endeavor to bring the
expedition unto a successful issue; sixtb,
should I leave tbe expedition without his
orders I agree to forfeit all claim to pay
one me, to return passage money and to
become liable to refund all moneys advanced
to me lor passage ana outut; seventn; i under
take not to publish writing connected with the
expedition, or to send any account to the news
papers for six months after the issue of tbe
official publication of tbe expedition by tho
leader or bis representative.
Can you declare in all seriousness that you
have been faithful to any one of these seven
articles enumerated above? If you can per
suade yourself that you have done so, I cannot
but admire your easy views of duty and I hope
tbat you will always find employes disposed to
take tbe same views as yourself of yonr duty.
As to article 1. my command has been issued In
the letter of Instructions to you and your com
rades alike.
ASKING FOB PROOF.
Can you solemnly say that you observed the
command or followed the suggestions? If so,
give me proof, not yonr diary, bnt a letter or
note from Major Barttelot acknowledging the
receipt of a protest from you against staying
on the Yambuya, against sending my bag
gage down the river, against deserting
tbe vital effects of tbe expedition,
such as medicine, provisions, wine, etc., against
sending yourself home, against shooting the
Soudanese for stealing a piece of meat, against
the reported severities we have heard of,
against the act to which I. were 1 in Yambuya,
could bave taken exception to.
Second, do you consider vou served me
loyally and devotedlv by stripping me naked or
remaining silent while I was being reduced to
poverty? Third, do you consider you obeyed
my orders when you went home? Fourth, did
you follow my route? Fifth, dla you use your
utmost endeavors to bring tbe expedition
into a succes-ful issue by skulking in
your house for some weeks, by brooding over
fanciful wrongs (these 1 only know through
your verbal confessions to me), and finally, ac
cepting sick leave from Major Barttelot? Well,
Ktairs was sick, too, but be pleaded to be
allowed to follow us. Tbe Famales were sick
also, but no one pleaded to be sent back. We
have all been sick, tut you're the onlv one I have
ever bad on an exploration expedition who ac
cepted his leave from a subordinate.
CONSULTATION ON VITAL STEPS.
Sixth, Having left the expedition by per
mission of the Major, did 'you agree to forfeit
all claims to pay due yon, etc? Seventh.
About the last clause, can you deliberately say
you denied yourself the pleasure of publishing
or attempting to publish anything?
Before responding to these questions, try to
understand that Major Barttolot is my repre
sentative with the rear column, tbe ordinary
duties of tbe defense and conduct of the camp
or ot tne marcn; out suouia any vital step be
proposed to be taken be is to take
the voice of Mr. Jameson and of
Messrs. Troup and Ward when tbey
are in camp, and these gentlemen are to be ad.
mitted to his conddence and to be allowed to
speak freely their opinion. You say you were
not consulted or called upon to dis
cuss acts decided upon by your com
manding officer. 1 ask why not?
The same commission that recognized him as
the senior officer of the rear column gave von
also a right to speak freely your opinion,
and to be consulted upon all vital
steps proposed, wny was this right not
exercised as much as tbe other? You are.
it is true, to submit to his, authority, but you
are also to observe that his authority is exer
cised judiciously and wisely because you are
bound to be loyal and devoted to the expedi
tion as per contract and your reputation de
pends on it.
CAUTIONED TO BE CAREFUL.
Tour friend and friends rely on you, and if
you will reflect a Utile, for a score and more
reasons besides. The commanding officer has
no right to exercise any authority unwisely,
injudiciously, tyrannically or cruelly, and you
are not expected to obeyiiim if he attempts to
do so, because you are all eipected to render an
account of what you have done later on and
naturally you will expect recognition from
your friend and principal -in the expedition of
tbe good that you have done. This letter of
yours to me, I take it. Is a plea for this recogni
tion. Woll, state tbe good that you have done,
prove it, and I am satisfied. I desire to know
it, to see it with your eyes, and toappreciate it.
Following this is a discussion of the
duties of a subordinate in regard to the
failure to prevent Barttelot's acts.
My private opinion is reserved lor myself
alone. Some benefit of it. however, I give in
my book to you and yonr friends. I can give
no more witout evidence from both sides.
Said Troup to-night: "Ton will see that
in the foregoing letter he brings forward
disgraceful charges that really do not refer
to me at all, although he blames me for what
happened. The injustice of his accusations,
made as they are without documentary-or
as far as I can .learn, any evidence, can
hardly be made clear to the public, but they

The Pretty Little Romance That Is Just Now
Interesting Washington.
New York World.
Washington society just now is discussing
a romance. It concerns society, because it
deals chiefly with the recent eccentric mar
riage of a pretty girl whose father made a
fortune out of supplying flowers for Wash
ington receptions and other entertainments.
His name is John Cammack. After sup
plying flowers to Washington society for a
generation and making money out of the
proceeding he stopped supplying flowers
and offered to supply himself and family,
with rather favorable results for Mr. Cam
mack. He has a house on what is known as the
Seventh street road and he lived there in
great comfort and considerable elegance.
The daughter, a tall, graceful girl and
blonde, lived there also, and, it seems, dis
covered recently that there was a black
smith's shop in the neighborhood presided
over by a young and handsome blacksmith.
She got into the htbit of visiting the black
smith shop and listening to tbe anvil chorus
precisely as though she were a Boston
maiden with an enthusiasm for music, and
allowed her attention occasionally to stray
from the anvil chorus to the anvil chorister,
with tbe result that she Degan to entertain
for the vigorous young man a very vigorous
admiration.
This finally brought about a marriage in
Baltimore, when Miss Cammack became
Mrs. Arlington Hardesty That is the name
the blacksmith was able to give her. It is
expected that Miss Camm-ick's parents will
accept the inevitable and that a reconcilia
tion will be effected.
A BRIDE'S PRAYER BOOK.
How a Clever Young Lady Got a Handsome
One for Her Wedding.
According to a New Tork jeweler a
young lady called at his store one morning
and asked to have some prayer books shown
her. She examined the stock pretty
thoroughly and finally selected two that
pleased her very muoh. She wasn't quste
sure, however, which one she would decide
ou finally, and wanted the advice of her
mother. She paid for one and had it sent
home with the stipulation that if her mother
thought the other prayer book would be the
better she might return the next day and
exonange it.
The following morning her servant ap
peared at the jeweler's store with a short
note and the prayer book in question. In
stead of asking for the other book, however,
the note stated that the young lady had re
solved not to make her purchase until ac
companied by her mother, and would the
jeweler kindly return the money in the
meantime. The money was given to the
servant, of course.
One of the firm in glancing over an even
ing paper noted tbe interesting fact tbat the
young lady had been married the night be
fore. He came to the very natural con
clusion that the prayer book had been used
for the occasion, and that the occasion for
its use having passed, the book had been
returned. Tne jeweler who fells this story
declares that other society girls who belong
to families with more social position than
money have attempted a somewhat similar
device. But the scheme never met with any
success except in the case here spoken of.
IMITATING STRAIGHT GOODS.
All Kinds of Liquors Can be Counterfeited
Beyond Detection.
There is not a liquor made, not a brand of
whisky, or brandy, or any of the bitters that
cannot be imitated so perfectly as to defy
detection. It will analyze chemically the
same as tbe "straight" goods. The basis of
these manufactured or counterfeit drinks is
cologne spirits, which is only the second
distillation ot highwine. Tbe first distilla
tion produces alcohol, the second cologne
spirits. This contains all the intoxicat
ing qualities without the odor of
alcohol. Its cost remains around tbe
dollar mark. The simple addition of
coloring matters, bead oil to produce
the little air bubbles, and age the mixture, a
drop or two ot the particular oil needed,
according to the character of liquor to be
manufactured, some glycerine, syrup and
water, and you are ready to do business.
Here is a standard recipe: "To make rye,
bourbon, Scotch or Irish whisky take 40.
gallons of cologne spirits, one quart of gly
cerine, two ounces of bourbon or rye oil or
four ounces of Scotch or Irish, according to
the brand desired to be made. To age the
mixture add one ounce of raisin oil. The
cost of the 40 gallons foots up about 547."
TEETH COST MORE.
The Use of Platinum by the Electricians
Causes the Else.
False teeth are more expensive now than
six months ago, says Dentist Richard Par
ker in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The
blame must be laid on the electricians, who
are consuming platinum wire so fast that
manufacturers can charge just what they
like for it. The price has doubled itself
twice over this year and is still going up in
rapid jumps.
Platinum wire must be used in false teeth
that are of any use whatever, and hence the
advance. The retail trade is, ot course,
going to be blamed, but competition had
brought prices down so as to leave very small
profits before platinum wire jumped up, and
the advance was a positive necessity. The
manufacture is largely controlled by a trust,
and it is probable higher prices will prevail
this winter.
A Dress-Suit Club.
St. Louis has a Dress-Suit Club. Every
member pays in 5 a month, and it is de
cided by lot which members shall have suits
of dress clothes out of the funds. As soou
as a member gets his number drawn he re
ceives his clothes and quits paying in. The
only trouble is, a fellow would feel very
little if he were detected in wearing clothes

DESPERATE SUICIDE
Of a Metropolitan Business Man Who
Had Met With Reverses.
HE TRIED SUFFOCATION BY GAS,
And When That "Was Discovered, Ended His
life With a Bullet.
SENSATION IN A QTUKEB CITY HOTEL
rSPXCIAI, TELEQB-IM TO THX DISPATCH. I .
Philadelphia, October 30. Oscar
Galinski, a prominent young business man
of New York, overcome by his want of suc
cess in his financial ventures, shot himself
through the right temple to-night about 9
o'clock in his room at Green's Hotel. Mr.
Galinski was a partner in the printing and
lithographing infev firm of Miller, Galinski
& Voge), of 105 and 107 Beekman street,
New York, and represented his firm on the
road.
Besides being interested in the printing
ink business Mr. Galinski hail considerable
money in a number of other veutures, and
it was the loss of his money throngh a de
pression in business tbat drove him to com
mit the rash deed. He was a man of very
imposing appearance, tall, broad-shouldered
and well built and was about 40 years of
age.
FORCED THE DOOR.
Mr. Galinski arrived at Green's Hotel at
noon on Wednesday, and alter registering
was assigned to room 24. He went to bis
room immediately and soou afterward left
the hotel. He was seen to retire to his room
in tbe evening. To-day he was about the
hotel during the day and went to his room
very early in the evening.
About 8:30 o'clock a bellboy going along
the corridor smelt gas. He hunted around
to find where it came from, and finally
located Galinski's room as the place. He
hurried down stairs and told the clerk, who
sent Special Officer West to the room.
When tbe officer arrived at the door he
knocked, and receiving no answer, he
knocked again. He again rapped at the
door the third time. Everything was quiet,
and West, after waiting awhile, forced the
door open and rushed into the room.
The room was very dark and filled with
gas. As soon as he could distinguish ob
jects clearly he saw Galinski in bed covered
with bedclothes.
"Get out of here or you will be suffo
cated," cried West, shaking Galinski by
the shoulder.
"What do you want?" inquired Galinski,
in a sleepy tone of voice.
"I want you to get out of this room," said
the officer.
"Well, I won't go."
"You will have to," said the officer as he
tried to catch hold of the man.
"I won't go until you bring Mr. Green
here," said Galinski in a defiant voice.
"But you will be suffocated," expostu
lated umcer West.
A DESPERATE MAN.
During the entire conversation Galinski
had heen working the bedclothes over his
head, and as Officer West moved toward
him nothing but the top of his head was
visible.
"Then you won't bring Mr. Green up to
the room,' asked Galinsky.
"No, sir, I won't leave you, and you will
have to go into another room," said tbe
officer.
"That settles it," said Galinski, and as
he spoke he drew a revolver from under the
bedclothes, where he had had it bidden all
the time, and placing it against his right
temple pulled thetrsgger. Scarcely had the
report sounded .before Officer West had
wrested the weapon from the hand of the
suicide, but it was too late, for Galinski
made one convulsive movement and then
fell back.
The report of tbe shot was heard through
out the hotel, and among the first to reach
the room was Proprietor Green. As soon as
he saw what was the matter he ran down
stairs, aud going to the corner of Eighth
and'Cnestnut streets told Beserve Officer
Dannenhauer what had occurred. He was
removed to the Pennsylvania Hospital,
where he died shortly after.

Mr. Boosevelt Says Government Clerks
Don't Bave to Give Financial Aid No
Force Employed in the Matter Intimi
dation Strictly Prohibited.
Washington, October 30. A well
known Bepublican leader not now in office
but prominently connected with the Con
gressional Campaign Committee, has re
ceived from Hon. Theodore Boosevelt, Civil
Service Commissioner, a contribution of $50
to be used for the legitimate campaign ex
penses in any Congressional district where
it is needed. Ex-Governor Hugh Thomp
son, also a member of tbe commission, has
sent in a contribution in aid of the Demo
cratic cause. In conversation to-day, Mr.
Boosevelt:
"There is no reason why under a Eepub
lican administration all the contributions
should be made to the Bepublican cam
paign' fund and under a Democratic ad
ministration they should all be to the
Democratic fund."
"The clerks are as much at liberty to con
tribute to one partv as another, and they
are perfectly safe and free to make no con
tribution it tbey so prefer. Within the
classified service the employes are under ob
ligations to no party. Governor Thompson
is a Democrat serving under this adminis
tration; he makes a contribution to aid his
party. I am a Bepublican; 1 aid mine. If
we did not want to contribute we would not.
No one can force a Government employ to
contribute; nor if he desires to contribute,
compel him to contribute to this party
rather than that.
"That is all there is in tbe question ex
cept that no employe shall solicit directly or
indirectly from any other employe, and
none shall give to or take from an employe.
If there are political clubs of which Gov
ernment employes are members, there is no
reason why tbey should not be Democratic
as well as Bepublican. But any of them
will be prosecuted if we have' evidence of
their trying to secure contributions by in
timidation." HO TE0UBLE TO GET A 0.U0BUH.

ballots were necessary in most cases.
There was considerable discussion in re

the State purchasing agency, and the mat
ter was finally satisfactorily'explained. An

C0H JEST OVER THE BENSETT LAW.
The Democratic German Vote Neutralized
bj Other Losses.
P1ETI LINES STEANGELI CONFUSED
Milwaukee, October 30. Wisconsin is
this year in the throes of a political conflict
the like of which has never before been
known in the history ol the State.. It is
semi-racial and religious in its character,
and has sprung up suddenly out of the pas
sage of a law which at the time of its enact- ,
ment did not even give rise to a murmur.
It is in reference to the now historical
Bennett law, which passed the Wisconsin.
Legislature at its last session and which
calls for the compulsory education of chil
dren between certaiu ages during a por
tion of each year. Some time after its
passage a Milwaukee newspaper, the Cath
olic Citizen, pointed out that the effect of
the law would be Jo destroy the parochial
school system, and at once an agitation for
its repeal was begun by the German Cath
olics and Lutherans which swept over tho
State like an angry torrent.- t
DISCONTENTED ONES ELECTED PECK.
Its political effect was felt in Milwaukee
last spring at the mayoralty election, when
the discontented element elected George W.
Peck, the Democratic candidate, by over
6,000 majority. This disaster alarmed "the
Bepnblicans, and many feared it meant the
loss of the State. But Governor Hoard
would not agree to temporize, and came out
emphatically for the maintenance and en
forcement of the law.
The Democrats, on the other hand, thought
they saw a grand opportunity to make a
great move on the political chess board. To
secure the disaffected vote for their ticket
they declared for the repeal or material
modifications of the obnoxious legislation
aud placed in nomination for Governor Mr.
Peck, who had jnst carried Milwaukee by
such an enormous majority on that is a-.
ONLY AN EDUCATIONAL ISSUE.
The Bepnblicans, on their side, renomi
nated Governor Hoard, who bad taken such
an unyielding stand ou the question and
therebycommitted their rarty to tbe main
tenance of the .Bennett law. As a result the
tariff, the silver question and all other issues
of tbe day have been eliminated from the
State campaign and the educational issue
reigns supreme. Every other issue is'
dwarfed for the time being.
The Bepnblicans claim that they stand
for the preservation of the public school
system and that the rej issue is whether
Church or State shall be supreme. The
Democrats are urging tne sanctity of the
home, the preservation of the Christian in
fluence and customs, and are pressing tbo
sentimental side of the question strongly.
The question of lanenage also eaters
larzely into the fight. The Bennett law re
quires' that children between the ages of 7
and 14 shall be instructed in tbe "English"
language in four -elementary studies viz.,
reading, writing, arithmetic aud United
States history.
LUTHERANS AROUSED.
The Catholic and German Lutherans, and
they are a large percentage of the popula
tion in Eastern Wisconsin, declare that this
means a crusade against the German lan
guage, while the other side declare that En
glish is the language of the State and mnst
be paramount. Party lines in this contest
have been broken down to some extent. Tbe
whole Lutheran vote has gone over bag and
baggage to the Democratic party, because
they believe tbat party is not in favor of in
terfering with their church schools.
Wisconsin has been a safe Bepublican
State for many years. It gave Grant jn
1868 a plurality of 24,150, and in 1872 it
gave him 18,520. It was nearly lost by
Hayes in 1876, his plurality being only
6.150; but in 1879 a Bepublican Governor
was elected by a plurality of 25,000. Gar
field bad in 1880 a plurality of
29,763. The following year the Democrats
lost the Governor by 12,000, and in the
tidal wave of 1882 tbey carried the State on
tbe Congressional vote by 6,9o7. Blaina
had iu 1884 a pluralityof 14,698, and Harri
son in 1888 21,321. Governor Hoard ran a
little behind Mr. Harrison, his plurality
being 20,253. At trie same election the
Prohibition vote was 14,373, and the Union
Labor vote 9,196.
PROHIBITIONISTS LOSING.
It is already clear that there will be a
falling off of the prohibition vote this year
and that probably half ot it will be cast for
Governor Hoard, as that element is anti
foreign and strongly favors the Bennett
law. There is no vitality this year in the
Labor party. Tbe German vote is largely
massed in the eastern and lake counties,
which have always been heavily Demo
cratic. It is in Milwaukee county tbat Mr. Peck
will hare to make bis greatest gains among
the Germans. Milwaukee countv in 1888
gave Harrison a ulurality of 4,092, and
Governor Hoard had 3,184. Bnt 4,494 votes
were cast for Streeter, the labor candidate
President, and 4,647 lor Powell, tbe labor
candidate for Governor. The prohibition
vote was only 333.
Putting Peck's plurality af5,000 in the
county be will be making a gain ol 8,000
over the figures of 1888. Putting his gains
among the German Lutherans and Catholics
elsewhere in the State at 12,000 he would
have a net gain of 20,000, which should give
him the State. But to neutralize these
gains there are the losses to be exnected
from the members of tiie Wisconsin Ben
nett Law Democratic League, who are said
to number 10,000.
To win Mr. Peck will have to largely in
crease his recent majority in Milwaukee,
and many think it reached the highest
mark last spring.
