How to deal with the Chinese question
broadly and vet without injury to the Re
publican party on the Pacific coast or else
where, is a problem that has not yet found
a solution in the Senate, though the Re
publicans of that body have been trying to
reach a conclusion forseveral days. "Whether
a solution be indented or cot, a vote will be
taken upon the pendinc bill and amend
ments on Monday alternoon.
It may be safely said that the Geary bill,
which passed the House with a hurrah, will
not pass the Senate. Some method will be
iound to apparently restrict Chinese im
migration aud yet to avoid the possibility
of a rupture of diplomatic and commercial
relations with China.
If Mr. Geary or his Democratic friends
in the House hoped to mate any party cap
ital out of this prohibition bill, which they
could not have expected to pass the Senate,
they wfll probably be disappointed. Op
position to any measure which would be a.
direct violation of the treaty now supposed
to be in operation between the United
States and China is not confined to Repub
lican Senators, and the most earnest sup
porters in the Senate of the Geary bill are
the Republican Senators of the Pacific
coat.
notasr Scott Lav tho Probability.
Senator Butler, a day or two ago, and
Senator Morgan to-dav, both of the Com
mittee on Toreign Relations, earnestly op
posed any such rigid measures as the Geary
bill. The best legal minds of the Senate
nre of the opinion that the Scott law would
remain operative for two years more, but as
there is a dispute on this point, doubtless a
bill similar to that law will be passed as
the simplest and quickest way of setting
the matter at rest.
The oppo-ition to the Geary bill is curious
to contemplate Every Senator in whose
State there are American citizens who are
immediately affected by "Chinese cheap
labor is an earnest advocate ot the bill.
senators whose constituents are not 60
nearlv affected place the mere sentiment of
fnendlv relations with China superior to
the wishe and welfare of American work
ingmen. Senators Sherman, Morgan, But
ler, and the rest, know very well that if
they represented California or Oregon, in
stead of Ohio, South Carolina or Alabama
they would now be making eloquent pleas
for the Geary bill instead of war against it
Tlio Snobb.filmess of a Committer.
Members of the Senate Committee on
foreign Relations are more sensitive to the
srcial ieeling and atmosphere of the carjital
than any other. They are absolutely snob
bish in their desire to court the iavor of
foreign Ministers, especially those wearing
that absurd insigna. a "title." Thev will
go to any length to "maintain the dignity
of the Senate" nhen any question bearing
on foreign afiairs is at stake. It was they
who viciously did what they could to rnin
the unstained reputation of the late Chief
Executive Clerk Younc, because secrets of
the executive session touching diplomatic J
currespunueiice were uiTuigeu oy an un
known somebody.
Now, because the principle of inter
national comity, which is struck at by the
Geary bill, is condemned in the foreign
diplomatic circle, this tuft-hunting, dining,
and wining and toasting Committee on For
eign Relations of the United States Senate
ignores the whole question of the interests
of American workmgmen and women, and
refuses to accept a bill which will absolute
ly shut out the cheap laborers of China, on
account of a sentiment against the violation
or abrogation of treaties, though they know
aery well, irom a thousand precedents and
authorities, that treaties are made with the
understanding that they are to be termi
nated at the will of cither of the contract
ing parties.
Sentlmp ntal Swash Has Toll Sway.
Speakers in favor of rigid restriction
have shown that the Chineso work lor about
one-third of the ages that are recognized
as just and decent for the American work
men; that they live on food upon which the
American norkman would starve; that they
come here simply to earn what will be in
China a fortune, and to then return to their
eun land; that their habits are loathsome,
their presence corrupting. Yet, with Sher
man and Rutler and the rest, all this is out
weighed by a job-iot of sentimental swash
about amicable relations and honorable ad
herence to a treaty contract.
Away down in the bottom of the social
well, where the truth of this question re
poses, there is lound another reason. The
lueu who appear to desire to look broadly at
this matterare really at heart opposed to any
restriction of the immigrants who come from
foreign parts to. cut under and lower the
wages of American men and women. They
were forced by the power of organized labor
to enact the present restriction laws, but
having once enacted them thev have
joined in a conspiracv to make
theni inoperative. The agents of every
department of the Government
w ho have had anything to do with the en
forcement of the law against the importa
tion of labor under contract have, under in
structions, I have reason to believe, con
spired to make the law inoperative, in
effectual and ridiculous. Every immigrant
icstriction law has been constructed with a
loophole in it through which the most
detestable clement of the world could crawl
into America, and it now seems thaf the
Senate is bent upon erecting a new harrier
which lias proved to be too weak to shut out
the very worst of these bad elements.
5o Use In 3Iinc!n- Slatters.
If the purpose is to shut out the Chinese,
there is no use in mincing matters. The
law already in operation was intended to be
Prohibitive of the Chinese laboring element.
1 it be not really so, one which is so abso
lutely could hardly be more destructive of
treaties and friendships than the one in
tended to be so. In the licht of the simple
proposition the arguments of the opponents
of the Geary bill must appear decidedly in
sincere. Senators supporting a heroic measure
hate plainly juoved tna: there is no danger
of retaliation on the part of China. The
Government of that country does not wish
to encourage the emigration of its subjects.
"Wealthy employers of labor there are ac
tuated by precisely the same motives as are
wealthy employers of labor in America.
The more workmen the lower the wages to
be paid by the employer. A numerous idle
class can always be used to hold in check
aud take the place of the employed class
when the latter attempt to iorce wag'es up
ward. Clilna the Greater Gainer.
Again, the trade of America is of vastly
more value to China than that of China is to
America, and there ! no danger of any aoti
that would destroy this commerce. Yot,
through a contemptible deference to the
sentiment of the foreign djplotnatlo colony,
and undoubtcdlr, also, a deilre to let in the
cheap labor of China Instead of absolutely
prohibiting It, the Committee on Foreign
Relations, ruling the Senate in this matter,
will force throu.eh a bill whloh will admit
the degraded Chinese in a roundabout way,
if not directly, and amicable relatione with
China will be preserved at the expensed
the American citizen and workman who
aims to secure wage,s on which he can, live
like a human. The policy of the Shermans
and Butlers would compel the American
workman to live like the Chinese.
In the House the whole of this afternoon
was wasted, and worse than wasted, in a
discussion whether certain words spoken
several weeks ago by Mr. "Walker, of Massa
chusetts, should be expunged from the
fiecord. It will be remembered that Mr.
"Walker, in making a speech, had leave to
extend his remarks in the Hecord. In doing
fo he was offensive to those two callow mem
bers of the Massachusetts mugwump kinder
garten, Sherman Hoar and George Frederick
Williams. The latter demanded that the
language be expunged, as it was both offen
sive and not spoken on the floor of the
House. Mr. "Walker declared that the rea
son it was not spoken on the floor was that
he was not given time. The words were
those he would have spoken had he had the
opportunity.
An Instigation for Offenslvo Speeches.
The matter was referred to tho Committee
on Printing. The report of that committee
favored expunging the offensive matter
from the Jtecord. The venerable, white
haired Mr. Walker, the Worcester shoe
maker, was fullyas offensive in his defence
to-day as he was in the original speeches.
In a "brief speech in reply Hon. George
Frederick Williams was as contemptibly in
sulting to Walker as he could well be, in
sneering at him for bringing his shop man
ners into Congress, as though shop
manners were necessarily bad man
ners. The fact is Mr. Walker was
shoemaker only in bis boyhood, when he
learned the trade in his father's shop. He
has been a wealthy shoe man for many long
years, and nothing in his language or ap
pearance would suggest cultivation and re
finement less than that of Mr. Williams,
who is careful to state in his biography in
the Congressional.Directory that "lie was
graduated at Dedham High School in 1868,
at Dartmouth in 1872, and studied at the
Universities of Heidelberg and Berlin." .
The truth is. the matter objected to was
no more offensive or personal than other
matter which finds immortality in the
Jlccord every day, and nobody except those
thin-skinned youths from Massachusetts
would have thought of objecting to it. As
it is, the House will probably perform the
solemn act of expurgation. The matter will
come up on Monday, and donhtless'a quo
rum of Democrats will be got together and
the resolution passed.
One Way to l'ass Away the Time.
It is in this manner that the Democratic
majority is w orking for the early adjourn
ment promised frequently in the first
months of the session. Five months of the
session are gone and the end is not yet in
sight.
Representative Dalzell will on Monday
present to the House the minority report on
tbe tin plate bill, which provides that Irom
October 1 of this year imported tin plate
shall pay 1 cent "per pound duty and
be admitted free after October 1, 1894.
The report prepared by Mr. Dalzell as tbe
iew ot the minority ot the Committee on
Ways and Means will go over the whole
ground of tin plate manufacture, will show
the wonderful growth of the industry since
the McICinlevlaw went into operation, and
the fallacy ot the assertions of the majority
report, one of which is that the duty will
impose upon consumers of tin plate a bur
den of 515,000,000 a year more than they
would have to pay were the article admitted
free.
Dfilauiater Ont of Politics, He Say.
George W. Delamater, formerly of Penn
sylvania, is here, as was stated a few days
ago he would be, to further the interests of
a bill now before Congress to permit the
opening of the Puyafiup Indian reserva
tion, which lies just outside the suburbs of
the city of Tacoma, Mr. Delamater comes
as the representative of the Chamber of
Commerce and the Commercial Club of
Tacoma, the latter organization numbering
about 500 members. The ex-Senator 'de
clares he is out ot politics, now and for all
time, and that he will devote himself
strictly to his profession and to business.
A very delightful little party was that
present at a luncheon given a day or two ago
by Secretary and Mrs. Blaine to Miss Susan
B. Ewing. of Pittsburg, a cousin ot Mr.
Blaine, and Mrs. Samuel Hazlitt, wife of
the Washington. Pa., banker, and Mrs.
Samuel Hazlitt, Jr. Mr. Alfons "VonMumm
Schwarzenstein, the German Minister
pro tem, Miss Phelps, daughter of
tbe American Minister to Ger
many, Mrs. Representative Hitt,
Miss Carter and Miss Dodge (Gail Hamil
ton) were the guests invited to meet them.
The table was artistically decorated with
Easter flowers, and the whole affair was one
of those extremely enjoyable incidents
which frequently light up the somber old
mansion on Lafayette Square since the Sec
retary's happy recovery trom his alarming
illess of last year.
A THSEE-COBNEBED CONTEST
Fortho Control of the Democrat lo
Dele-
gates From Illinois.
Washington, April 23. Spfa?. The
rivalry between Morrison and Senator Pal
mer in Illinois appears to have come to a
direct issue, and it is expected that Cleve
land will be seriously involved. There
appears to be a general under
standiug that the people of Illi
nois are strongly in favor of
the nomination of Cleveland. At the same
time, that State has two Presidental tiossi.
bilities in the persons of Palmer and Mor
rison. A number of the delegates have
been instructed for Palmer by County Con
ventions, and some of the Morrison men
claim that the Palmer men are not acting id
good faith.
To avoid any split in the party there was
an agreement entered into between the
friends of each that no effort should be
made to have the delegates to the State
Convention instructed, 'it is understood
that yesterday they had a meeting
in the Ways and Means Commit
tee room ot the Honse, at which
Palmer practically announced that he would
enter the fight and get the support of the
Illinois delegation at the National Convent
tion, if possible. The impression at the
close was that there would be a bitter tight
between him and the Cleveland and Mbr
rison men.
Chicago Fair Folks Are Hnstllng.
'Washks-gtox, April 23. The members
of tbe Chicago Directory of the "World's
Fair, who are now in "Washington in behalf
of additional appropriations by Congress
for the "World's Pair, are making good use
of their time in presenting facts and figures
to the members ot the commitlee having
World's Fair matters in charge. To-day
they had an informal conference with sev
eral members of the committee, at which
the subject was talked over. Arrangements
have been made for a formal presentation of
the wants of the directory before the com
mittee next Monday.
A New Patent Law Probable.
"Washington, April 23. The House
Committee on Patents, after a careful and
thorough consideration of the subject, has
agreed on an omnibus bill to amend the
patent laws of the United States. Repre
sentative Buchanan, of New Jersey, will
draw up a report on the bill and submit it
to the House, probably next week.
Senator Boar's Eyesl;ht Falling:
"Washington, April 23. Mr. Hoar to
day asked and obtained leave of obsence
from tbe Senate from Mondav next for the
I remainder of the session. It is understood
to Europe, in order to consult the most dis
tinguished specialists in eye diseases.

GERMANS SATED THEIR TINEIARDS
COPYRIGHT 1892 BT X. T. ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Berlin, April 23. vThe Easter holidays
made little difference to the Emperor. He
worked during all the holiday season, from
early in the morning until late at- night;
gave the usual audiences to the Ministers
and took only a short ride or drive in the
afternoon.
The approaches to the Castle were every
day surrounded by holiday makers from the
provinces, ea?er to get a view of the Em
peror. On Thursday morning, accompanied
by his aide-de-camp, Major von Moltke,
who, since the death of Field Marshal Count
von Moltke, has been favored by the Em
peror, His Majesty went to Eisenach, where
he was a guest of his uncle, the Grand Duke
of Saxe-Weimar. The party enjoyed good
shooting on the Grand Duke's estates.
Upon the receipt of the news of the death
of the Duchess of Mecklenburg, the Em-
peror immediately canceled hit arrange -
ments for the shooting and announced his
intention to attend the funeral.
Royal People In Bather Frail Health.
The Empress is at present very solicitous
about the health of the Czarina, Unfavor
able reports concerning her .have been re
ceived at the Berlin court. The Czarina is
much affected by the condition of the Grand
Duke George, her son, whose lung disease
is becoming worse and who is now believed
to be in a hopeless condition. The Czarina
is attending him. Ths Emperor has ar
ranged to start on a month's whaling trip
July 9.
A telegram received in Berlin to-day an
nounces that the Czar has finally consented
to visit Potsdam, where he will remain four
days. The arrangements have not yet been
announced, but from private advices it is
expected that his visit will be semi-incognita
Political circles are agitated at the
success of Emperor William in inducing
the Czar to visit Potsdam. The visit will,
undoubtedly, greatly influence the rela
tions between the two empires. It has al
ready been intimated to the German jour
nals that it would be advisable for them to
cease their attacks upon Russia.
An American Military Attache's Work.
Lieutenant Clarke, of the Ninth United
States Cavalry, who has been serving a year
in the Eleventh Huzzars, at Dusseldorf, ar
rived in Berlin Monday. He was given an
audience by the Emperor Wednesday, at
which he bade His Majesty farewell prior
to his return to the United States. The
Emperor treated him in a most friendly
manner, as he always does Americans. He
inquired after Lieutenant John Bigelow, of
the Tenth Cavalry, who is an old school
mate of his.
Lieutenant Clarke has thoroughly studied
the work and training of the" German
cavalry, which he declares to be the best in
the world. He attributes the efficiency
chiefly to the marvelous system of break
ing and training voung horses which pre
vails here. The discipline of the German
army, he says, is far more strict than that of
the American army, bnt he did not see the
slightest cruelty on the part of the officers.
The approaching visits of the members of
tbe roval families, with the consequent in
flux of society, promises to give consider
able stimulus to the trade of Berlin.
Royal Families Wilt Flock to Berlin.
It is now finally settled that, besides the
Czar, the King and Queen of Italy, tbe
King and Queen of Sweden and the Queen
Regent and the young Queen of Holland
will arrive here before the middle of June.
The Queen Regent of Holland and the
Queen will sojonrn in, the Black Forest for
a time before coming to Potsdam. The
health of the young Queen is not very ro
bust, and it is thought the air of the Black
Forest will have a very beneficial effect
upon her.
Rumors have been circulated that the
King and Queen of Italy will not come to
Berlin, owing to the political crisis in
Italy. These reports, however, are semi
officially denied. It is known here that the
Emperor is anxious to have a conference
with King Humbert, as he fears the attack
upon the Italian militarv will force King
Humbert to rednce Italy's European
military expenditures, and thus weaken the
power of the Dreibund. The fact that the
Italian Ministry has agreed that only ex
penditures for the military in the colonies
shall be reduced, is largely due to the
insistence of the German Minister at Rome,
supported by the Austrian Minister.
Anti-tottery Movement in Germany.
An agitation has been started against the
project of a lottery to cover the expense of
beautifying the approaches to the Schlosse
and to greatly alter and improve the Under-den-Linden.
The opponents of the project
declare that lotteries are increasing to an
alarming extent, and that their growing
love among the people will result in a per
nicious influence upon the prosperity of the
country. The Emperor is personally op
posed to the lottery scheme and would him
self meet the expense, hut the heavy drain
on his own exchequer in order to pay for
refurnishing a number of the guests' rooms
in the Schlosse precludes him from do
ing so.
The vineyards of Alsace Lorraine nearly
suffered the fate of the vineyards in France.
From mild weather the temperature sud
denly dropped to ,7 below zero. Enormous
damage was done in the vicinity of Stras
burg. But the vine growers in the Kollmar
district announce that great success fol
lowed their burning of tar in the vicinitv.
The fires caused tbe temperature to rise,and
tne result was tnat ail tbelr vines and iruit
trees were saved.

Nineteen Million Splndlcrs Idle.
London, April 23. The lockout of the
cotton spinners in I Lancashire, where it is

no sign of being amicably settled at present,
and instead ot the arbitration, which was
recently proposed by th! operatives, having
had a beneficial effect, the situation has
been made worse.

The
ASKED TO MAKE RETURNS.
Assffsors Preparlngto Make the Business
jRtx Assessment Estimates Mads if the
Firms .Do Not Respond Small Pool
rooms Likely to Be Frozen Ont.
The clerks in the Board of Assessors'
office have just finished sending out notices
to nearly 10,000 business establishments in
this city, asking for a report of the volume
of business done by each, firm, on which the
assessors desire to fix the business tax tor
this year. There are 655 firms to be assessed
in the Third ward, which has the largest
number of any ward in the city. The
First, Second and-Fourth wards average BOO
each, and the remaining wards average
about 200 each. The assessors want the
business people to make their returns
within the next ten days, as the assessment
must be completed and tbe books turned
oyer to the Treasurer on the last day of
next month. In the meantime the whole
assessment must be made and the appeals of
all. who are assessed too high examined and
the mistakes rectified.
The business tax and State mercantile
tax, which are so often confounded, nre
both collected during the month of June,
and the city water tax also. "When parties
fail'to make returns the assessors estimate
their business and assess on the estimate.
If the figure is too high the persons assessed
appeal and make a great fuss, but they
won't take the trouble to make a return be
fore the assessment is made. This gives
the assessors a great deal of extra work and
worry, bnt they have the same' experience
each year. ,
'The reduction of the business tax rate
this year will make a big difference in the
receipts from that quarter. In the case of
small shops or stores doing a business of
500 a year or less.the tax is so small, at the
rate of 50 cents on the 51,000, that the as
sessors have left them off tbe list this year.
Chief Brown's ordinance for the regulation
of poolrooms is also expected to reduce the
business tax, as if it is passed, the ordinance
will result in closing up many of the pool
and billiard rooms, which are under this
year's tax ordinance assessed higher than
any other business.

Up New York's Reformation
UNDER SUPERINTENDENT BYRNES.
Ha Wants to Give the New Official Full
Credit, but Doesn't
BELIETE HE CAN ACCOMPLISH MUCH
RFECIAL TItXGBAM TO TnX DISPATCH.
New York, April 23. "There, is -more
ostentation than an actual desire to reform,
in this police change. There will not and
there cannot be any genuine attempt to sup
press the vices called tp the attention of the
March grand Jury until the organized
criminality under which -we are suffering is
permanently and effectually removed."
Those were the emphatically expressed
declarations of Bev. Dr. Charles H. Park
hurst, of the Madison Square Presbyterian
Church, when asked to-day at his- home for
an opinion on the recent police upheaval.
The doctor continued:
I shall have to confess that Fam not en
thusiastically hopeful as to the nnimusor
purpose of our new Superintendent of
Police. Yet I am willing, a great deal more
willing, to believe that he Is in earnest in all
he has recently said about enfoiclmr the
law, and in what he has already done, than
I am to believe that it is done for ostenta
tious display.
A Great Opportunity far Byrnes.
Superintendent Ilyrnen won a national, or
I may. say an international, reputation as
chief of If ow York detootlves. Now It may
be, and I like to think it is the ease, that ho
appreciates tho fact that lie now has the op
portunity to nako a national' reputa
tion far himself in a field very
rnonh broader than the one be has
left. Ha nndonbtodly knows, and cunnoe
help hut see, that If he wero to exorcise his
powers of Superintendent of Police and
laithfully, vigorously and unflinchingly
mako those powers tell in tho repression of
those crimes whloh now exist in our midst,
and about whloh so much has been said, be
would win for hlmsuK the applause of the
citizens of New York and a fame that would
be as broad as our country.
My hope is that he is animated by that
ambition, and that what he lias said has not
oeen simply for the purpose of quieting the
disturbed condition or mind as it
now exists among the better part
of our citizens. Granting, howVsver,
that be desires to leally accomplish
so great a work, tbe question at once arises
as to whether he can break through the lim
itations by which ho is municipally bound
and hampered. -It Is true tbat he is at tbe
head of a strong department, and with
practically unlimited powers, yet at the
same time' he is organically built into
tbat department, and the spirit
in which the same-department is now con
ducted, is the growth of many yeais of black
corruption. Then, however pure and whole
some a head may be71t cannot declare itself,
by mere words, absolutely free' from the
corrupt body into which it has become or
ganically knit by yeais of association.
Too Hard a Task to Tackle.
The police department has been up to
three days ago essentially corrupt, unless I
and the March grand Jury are utterly at
fault, and I don't think we wero with "
smile and it is certainly a xggantic task
for Superintendent Byrnes to under
take to uecontruot that body. But over
and above all tbat, and granting that
he Has the executive power to remold tbe
police department to do bis bidding, he is
not, competent to defy Tammany Hall and
Tamany Police Commissioners, so long.as
that organization is the municipal
sovereignty of the city. Lot Mr. Byrnes'
desires be as pure and ns sincere as may be,
the only hope tbnt I and many bave
that he will be able to carry these desires
into effect will be the bringing to bear upon
Tammany an outside- force which will be
ablo to crush the organization. By "an
outside pow er" Dr. Parkhurst referred to a
citizens' organization which may be formed
to slay the-tlgec,
In other words, there is no hope for ITew
York City, in its police department or any
other department. In Taot, except in the com
plete overthrow of the organized municipal
crlmlnalltyuhder which .we are at present
suffering. Of course tbe sinking up will un
doubtedly tend tolnterfere with the carrying
on the same system of plunder which has
been in progress for years past.- Yet these
transfers will riot change the disposition of
of a single captain. If his roots have been
pulled out of one vile soil it will not take
him long tozrowthem down into another sort
of a similar character. Tho same can be
said of the ward detectives, and if
the superintendent-intends to stop at -this
point, in three months things will bo in the
same state as they wore under ex-Superintendent
Murray and the others.
The "War to Be Continually "Waged.
""Will you or your society take any ac
tion to prevent matters from falling back
into their old state?"
"We will," replied Dr. Parkhurst. "We
will watch Mr. Byrnes, and continue to
watch not malignantly, but nnxiouslv
and jealously. Now, in conclusion,''
said he, "I cannot but , say that,
with all my doubt as to the result of Mr.
Byrnes' administration, nothing 'would
make me happier than to find that this sud
den activity is not merely an ostentatious
blind. If such is the case, and he is really
willing to take tbe chances of closing Tam
many saloon during unlawful hours, no
man will fight for Dim more obstinately
than L "We do not expect that every phase
oi vice is going to be stamped out within a
week or two, but we do expect, and we do
demand, that the paid. police patronage of
crime and criminals should come to a full
stop, and a stop immediately."
Dr. Parkhurst and the agents of his so
ciety are actively engaged in securing evi
dence against a number of places similar to
those he has already exposed. Dr. Park
hurst said he would be in n position to make
the results of his efforts public in a short
time.

TALHAGE LIKES TEE GOLD CUBS,
Ha Beturns From a Tlsit to Dwlght and Is
More Than Enthusiastic.
' New York, April 2S.-Bev. T. DeWItt Tal
mage has Joined the vastarmy of Eeeley
cure enthusiasts.. "While on his recent visit
to Chicago, from whloh be returned yester
day, he was taken by Dr. Leslie Keeley to his
gold cure establishment at D wish t, . 11L,
which is tbe parent institution of the W
branches that are scattered throughout this
country, Europe and' Australia. Dr. Tal
rnage had ialtb in the gold cure before he
went there; now he is as loud in its praises
as.the most enthusiastic of the 60,000 people
whom he says have been rescned from the
thraldom of alcohol, opium and tobacco by
Its Influence. In speaking of his visit. to
Dwfght yesterday, ho said: '
"I am flrmlv convinced from what I saw
and heard at Dwigbt that Dr. Eeeley is one
of the greatest benefactors to mankind that,
ever lived. His institution is a wonderful
5 lace, his cure a marvelous one. Dr.
ieeley's Anger is on the world, and I shall
do all in mv power to tell the world so. I
shall have him in Brooklyn before long, and
will guarantee him an audience of 7,000 peo
ple. I am satisfied now, tor I have seen
Keeley, Dwlght and the gold cure. I was
in the 'shot tower,' as they call it. There I
saw one or the most wonderful sights in my
experience, I haw 500 men standing in line,
with slits in their sleeves, waiting their
turns to have the gold cure injected or 'shot
into their arms. The expressions on the
faces of these men was enough to show tbe
good work Dr. Keeley is doing. The poor
broken down wrecks who had Just come in,
waited their turns with a look of hopeful ex
pectancy on their faces that was touching,
while on tbe other hand those wbo bad been
there some time, and had already experi
enced the good effects of this cure, looked
proudly conscious that they were being freed
Irom slavery. I tell you the confident way
In which theso men spoks and the happy
triumphant expressions on their faces
would have converted the greatest enemies
of the cure."
