Jlorlsj May Soon Find It Necessary to Clean Cut rnblin Castle. HIS PROCEDURE IN EVICTION CS 5 London, September 23. A new danger threatens Mr. Gladstone's Government in the movement Leaded by Sir John Eldon Gorst, recently Lord Salisbury's Financial Secretary of the Treasury, to form a party to advocate dealing with social legis lation, or in other words with the labor questions, in preference to IrVi home rule, which the Premier insists on putting to the front to the virtual dela tion, for a long time, of definite action on matters of far more importance to Great Britain and of far more interest to the peo ple. More than SO of the advanced Conserva tives and Unionists have already promised adherence to such a party and its pro gramme, and tea importance of Gorst's leadership in such a crusade cannot be over estimated. A Steadfast Friend of labor. He is one of the most clever men on the Conservative side of the House of Com mons, and is so genuinely devoted to the ause of the workingmea that he constantly jpurted the resentment of his chief while in office by urging upon the Salisbury Cabi net the claims of labor, which he frequently did at times most inopportune to the plans of the administration. Although, of course, party intrigue rather ihan sincerity in the case of the poor, is charged as trie basis ot the movement, and may have a little to do with it in the ad htsion of some Unionists to Sir John's Bcbe.ne, nevertheless it may serve to attract a good (many malcontents from the the Liberal majoritv, as a very great num ber of them are heartily disgusted with Mr. iladstone's fatuous absorption in his Irish oject, and would honestly like to see this heme shelved to make wav for real re rms in England and real benefits to the boring classes. Sir John Gorst will be remembered as a imber of the fourth party from 18S0 to fc3, and his independence of action has vas been a characteristic of his public fe." Signs of a Great Radical Ileiolt The placidity on the surface of political 1-iirs is altogether deceptive as to the real ite of the Liberal sections and the minis lal position. There is nobody on the mp in Great liritain, and though some the Irish politicians maintain their con verses, their squabbles have small bear : upon the tendency ot events. But, un n ot the general public, the greatest nger menacing the existence of the Glad one Government is the formation of a rong Ba lical cave. Mr. Lil ojcher's diitribes do not repre- lt fu I.- the radical discontent or the I wth 01 radical intentions. The repre- I native ot the Associated Press, hav ; had a chance to interview some t!i- stanchest Scotch members the House of Commons supporting Mr. aiKtoiic, was surprised at finding them daring that th" time was near when they uld refuse to continue their adhesion to .. Gladstone if he did not subordinate .me rule to whit they considered more im ortant parts of t!e Newcastle proeramme. Jne piominen Scotch Cojimontr said: The en's-sioui&t Are 42 Stnmjy. "We are not onl v discoutetned at t lie cri fice ot Radical politics in Ireland, but are dibgLsted. We shall vote or the second reading of the home rale bill, according thus far allegiance to our chief; but we will not suffer our own affairs to be delayed through rolonred discussion of the bill in commit tee. It the Unionists and the Irish choose to protract the proceedings in committee and the bill is dleatedon its crucial clause, home lule "ill be dropped among the com moners ndhenne to this determination." The representative of the Associated Pres learned that there concurred in this determination 42 members, enough to make l.avoc in the party if Mr. Gladstone per sists iu his determination to push home rule at all hazards. The Scotch members of the House of Commons have rarely in tervened in bulk against a Liberal Govern ment, and when they do so their action will be final. Bight Hon.

He finds the permanent officials ot Dublin Castle burdensome, and lie d strusts them a they distrust hun. If he followed the ad vice of Messrs. Dillon, O'Brien and others., lie would dismiss the whole lot. Dublin Castle Needs an Oi crhaallng. They are notoriously insincere in their sympathies, and apt to hamper or pervert measures he takes in behalf of the Nation alists. Mr. Morley is averse to clearing them out, but he is compelled to act through others, thus making official procedure slower and less direct. The Associated Press has authority to state that though Mr. Morley cannot ad iise the wholesale release of prisoners con victed under the coercion act, he is con sidering every case in itself, and is hopeful A overtaking eerv conviction within a month. He has also decided to release every one of these prisoners unless he is an offender under the common law. Concerning Goernmeut protection of tenants who have been evicted from their holdings, practical steps in this direction will be taken in October after Mr. Morley's tour of the distressed districts. He has sent circulars to the local authorities, asking them to supply him with information concerning evictions in their districts.

One of the officers attached to the garrison there disappeared September 11, and on the same day his fiance also disappeared. Wednes day they were both found dead in a powder tungazine that was seldom visited. From letters found near the Dodies it was learned that the parents of the young lady were bitterly opposed to the officer's suit, and steadfastly refused their consent to their daughter's marrying him.

Late to night, Miss Verhoeft, in speaking of her interview with Lieutenant Peary this after noon, said: "Our interview was very unsatisfactory, and I have no hesitation in saying so. It only confirmed my belief that my brother is alive. Mr. Peary could give no explanation of the strange fact that a young and unusually vigorous man, with a,a education that fitted him in every respect for such an adventure, should have been left behind left behind with the women when the ex pedition proper began. He said he did not know my brother thoroughly or he would have taken him along. 'This,' I said 'I consider a very lame excuse.' At first he held that ray brother was dead, but after ward admitted that, after all, he might be alive. Of course lie is alive, and Lieutenant Peary and the rest of the party think so, too.

He would protest that he was not cold, ard did everything in his power to inure him self to the hardships of tho climate, and went around with his shoes torn and his bare feet touching the ground. These facts, taken in connection with his mysterious feelers put out during the winter as to the probability of Lieutenant Pearv let ting him stay up North, led some of the Peary party and others of the crew of the Kite'v ho knew Verhoeff to the conclusion that he may have taken a notion to stay with the Eskimos in hope of making a journey to the farthest northern point yet discovered, and so win fame.

BE TALKS ON 'CAMPAIGN ISSUES led the I anre Audience Can Scarcely Hear Inonffh of His Words. WANAMAKER ALSO MAKES QUITE A HIT Philadelphia, Sept 23. One of the greatest gatherings of people that has ever greeted a publio man in this city thronged the Academy of Music to-night to listen to Governor William McKinley, of Ohio, speak upon "The Pending Issues ot the Campaign." An hour before the time announced for Major McKlnley to begin to speak, men and women began to pour into the building, and by 8 o'clock fully 8,000 people were packed closelv together, await ing the arrival of the champion of a pro tective tariff. Finally the crush became so great that the doors were closed and hun dreds were unable to gain admission. Governor McKinley was the guest of the Manufacturers' Club, and shortly before 8 o'clock he came upon the stage, escorted by Thomas Dolan, President of the club, and a score or more of members of the club. As Governor McKlnley entered the great audience arose and cheered until the walls of the building almost shook uncier the volume of sound. In a brief speech Mr. Dolan Introduced Governor McKinley, and the latter as again given an ovation as he came to the lront of the stage. Governor McKiulev spoke tor an hour and a half. His sneeeii ' was mainly upon the tariff, uhich he designated as the great issue ot the campaign. The enthusiasm upon his sub ject was communicated to his auditors, and again and again he was compelled to stop while the storm of applause rolled through the building. Every mention of President Harrison's name by Governor McKinley aroused the greatest enthusiasm in the audience. One of the Trophies or Protection. While Major McKinley was in the midst of his speech a loeil club came upon the stage bearing .at its head a banner of tin plate, with the arms of Pennsylvania painted upon it, and this inscription: j AMERICAN TIN PLATE. Made at Norrlstown, Fa., 1892. : Governor McKinley, pointing to the ban ner, said; "There is another trophy of pro tection," and the audience cheered itselt hoarse. In opening bis speech Governor McKinley spoke of the great manufactures of Philadelphia, and its place in the history of the country as the city in which liberty was born and the Constitution framed. Coming to the direct text of his speech Gov ernor McKinley said: The money of this country should he as, national as Its Has. It should bo as sound as the Government Itself, and that is the character of the money we have to-day and which we mean to maintain. If Congress should happen to be Democratic, then I want Benjamin Harrison Piesldent. He believes In sound money, and will veto any Democratic bill to corrupt and debase the currency of the United States. I am not only opposed to cheap money, but I am op- Eosod to free trade, which means cheap la or. Free trade and debased money go band In band. The tariff issue this year Is sharply defined between the Republican and the Demooratlc parties. pro tection against fiee trade. The .Re publican party Is In favor of a tariff to raise revenues for tho Government Froteetlon permits everything that fiee trade does, but it gives protection to and Biimuiaies our own people ana industries. The Democratic platform Is for tariff reve nue only, and Is needless of capital, and has no concern for tho laborer. The Last Bcsort of Democratic Leaders. The Democratio tariff has no object In vlow but to raise revenues for the Govern ment A protective tariff does everything to raise revenue for the Government that a tariff for revenue only does, and It has never failed us but twice in the his tory of our Government. The Democratio party says in Its platform that this tariff is unconstitutional. This Is tho last resort of Democratic leaders and usually precedes surrender. This tariff is not In violation of tho Constitution of the United 8tates. but it tmy be under the Constitution of the Confederate States. But thank God for ns, weaie not operating under the Con stitution of the Confederate States, bnt un der the Constitution ot Washington and Lincoln. The first great act passed In 1779 was re ported to the House by James Madison, afteiward President of the United States. It was signed by Washington July 4, 1779, and was a declaration of Industrial inde pendence. The men who made the bill made the Constitution of tho United States. Isn't James Madison as safe a Constitution Interpreter as Grover Cleve land, nnd Is not Thomas Jefferson as trood constitntional lawvor as Acllui E. Stevenson? And all the Democratic leaders combined cannot weurh against tne Supieine i,uuri fii me unueu states, wnicn nus irivcn its judgment in favor ot the law of ISM. which I believe is conceded to be the pro tective taitff law. That was the pui pose of the men who made it, and If anything else, it Is result of accident and not design. Peck's Figures Pointed to With Pride. Governor McKinley then took np the tariff in its foreign aspect, and quoted fig ures to prove its beneficial effect upon the industries of the country and the welfare of the people. He referred particularly to the reports of the Labor Commissioners of Indiana, Massachusetts and New York in confirmation of his statements. He said Mr. Peck's report has et the Democrats stunned and confused, and that they ary trying to arrest facts bv indicting the commissioner. Governor Mc Kinley quoted largely irom Senator Hili's recent Brooklyn speech, and warned him that he could not make a platform for his party, as they would reject it, as they did him. In concluding his speech Governor McKlnley said: My fellow citizens: There Is no perma nent place In the polities of American civ ilization for a party that bases ltB claims for confidence upon failures and discourage ments of the people. There Is no honora ble and permanent and successful place for any party In America that appeals to tho prejudice and the passion and Ignorance of the people thcme4ves. That has been the history of tho Democratic leaders for 33 yeais. Their arsenal and their armanent nas been the prediction of failure of Repub lican measures and Republican politics. A Party of Unfulfilled Predictions. Every Kepnbllcan measure and every Re publican policy for SO years was predicted a failure by the leaders of the Democratic party. You all remember it. The was was to be a failure: the issue of greenbacks was to be a failure; the resumption of specie payment was to bo a failure, and now the tariff law of 1S90 is to be a failure. They propose nothing, thev reject nothing. Their platform Is a declaration of retrogression. They lootc brckward instead of forward. They look Into the night Instead or the morning. But of every prediction that the Democratic party has made since 1861, not one of them has been verified. I cannot believe that the people of this country will vote for Grover Cleveland for President of the United States the repre sentative of this retrogresslonal reaction, tho representative of free trade and all dis tresses that follow in its wake, the repre sentative of every principle of tho Demooratlc National Convention. I can not believe but that the people of this country will vote for Hairison and Held be cause thev represent Republican principles and Republican policy and President Har lison's administration for the past four veais has been one of the most slandered administrations that this country has ever had. It has been clean, conservative and patriotic, wise nnd able. Its domestic policy has been wise and conciliatory. Its foreign policy has been firm and thoroughly American. It was this administration that said to a foreign Gov ernment that was making unreasonable de mands upon this country It was this ad ministration that wrote "This country has never yet lecelved orders from a foreign Government and doesn't propose to." I would as soon as nut In command of the armies of the United States a public enemy as to let a commercial rival dictate our com mercial polley. 'It is a good thing in this wicked world to find out what your enemy 'would have yon do, and then go do tho other DISPATjOH, SATtTODA YBEPEEMBER ' 24? 180T thing. There I not a nation in Knrope that does not want Harrison defeated and Cleve land elected. Wanamaker Has to Slake a Speech. Governor McKlnley was cheered with the wildest enthusiasm when he had finished, and was forced to rise anumber of times and bow before the audience. Calls lor Post master General Wanamaker brought that cabinet officer to the front of the stage. He deprecated the idea of making a speech, as he was utterly unprepared to do so. He referred in a touch ing manner to President Harrison's great anxiety and suffering Irom the illness of his wife, and declared that such confi dence as was exhibited by the audience in his administration and enthusiasm for him would comfort and sustain the President Mr. Wanamaker then recited the benefits that had accrued to the country under the protective tarifl and a Republican adminis- 'tratlon. The meeting was closed by a resolution of thanks for Major McKinley's able speech. BAYARD BLOWS HIS HORN.

The Cleve land demonstration at the Academy of Music to-night, the second ot the campaign in this city given under the auspices of the Kings County Cleveland and Stavenson Campaign Clubs, was neither as large nor as enthusiastio as the one held a few nights previously, when Senator Hill spoke. The house was prettily decorated, the portraits of the two Democratic candidates being hung immedi ately o er the stage surrounded by festoons of stars and stripes. Edward M. Shepard, as President of the meeting, opened the proceedings with a speech, in which he said: We have heard said to the effect that the present campaign Is not an oxclttng one; that It Is the dullest within the memory ot politicians. No doubt there Is some truth in this. For the first time In many years attacks upon the personal characters of the candidates have not been made. There is In this a promise of better American poll tics (applause), a politics that involves di rectly and responsibly, and chiefly, rather tiian Incidentally, trne political questions (torn which their Is legitimate partisan dlf feience of opinion. Mr. uhepard introduced the speaker of the evening as "a statesman who, at the head of Mr. Cleveland's Cabinet, made the American name and American faith honor able, and without the mean and base bully ing ot weaker nations." Ex-Secretary of State Bayard was received with tumultuous applause Among other things Mr. Bayard said: I ask you now, if the signs are not plainly apparent that this Government, which was framed by the people and for tho people, is not palpably and rapidly becoinlne a gov ernment of the few, by the few and for the fen ? Applause. Touching on the Homestead difficulty, Mr. Bayard said: One effect that must survive tho dreadful collision Is chat tho highest wages piid In America are paid In the employments where there Is no protection at all. Mr. Bayard said the Republican party evaded discussing broad principles, but was engrossed in fixing the price oi a pearl but ton or the tax upon a tin pot As soon as the applause following Mr. Bayard's speech had subsided, John D. Kernan, the last speaker of the evening, was introduced. He is ex-Railroad Com missioner and presiding officer at the anti snap convention in Syracuse last May. He concluded his remarks thus: We went to Chicaga as Democrats; we re turned as Democrats. We went to settle our dlffeiences ot opinion and we settled them, and now we propose to unite In a supreme effort to settle the Bopabllcan party. STEVENSON AT RICHMOND.

Congressman Isadore Bayner, of Mary land, also spoke. The name of Cleveland, whenever mentioned by the speakers, called forth vociferous applause. General Stevenson leaves at 3 a. m. for Danville. NO STICKEKS ON Y0UB BALLOT. A Sew Rule That Voters in Pennsylvania Will Have to Get Used To. Habbisbtjbg, Sept 23. .- Many requests are being made lor copies of the revised form of the official ballot and the specimen ballot to be used under the operations of the Baker ballot reform law. An idea evidently prevails among many persons who have not seen the revised form of ballot that stickers can be nsed on the ballot to paste over any name printed thereon. This is wrong. None of the officially printed names can be erased, crossed out or pasted over. Stickers may be nsed, but they can be legally placed only in the blank spaces in the fourth column of the ballot left for that purpose, and not over another name. In these blank spaces the voter may insert any name he pleases, either by means of a sticker, by writing, or by stamping. A 1HEEE-C0ENEKED CONTEST ON.

ALMOST DEFYING THE BBITISH. A New Construction of the Chinese Zaw That May Cause Complications. "Washington, Sept 23. Assistant Sec retary Spaulding has written a letter to the Collector of Customs at Port Towniend, Wash., in which" he says the department had received his letter wherein he requested Instructions for his guidance in the case of one Chin Yon, a Chinese who claimed to be a British subject, and applied for admis sion to the United States. The applicant submitted a certificate of naturalization 1 ssued by the County Court of New "West minster, Vancouver. In transmitting the case to the department the Secretary said: You state that In your opinion "these papers have been piepaied with a view of making this a test case, and if this Chinese Serson is permitted to enter tho United tates under the circumstances, I have no doubt whatever that the authorities on tho other side of the boundary line will begin to manufacture citizens of British Col umbia lor tho purpose of evad ing tho Chinese restriction act of 1383; In leplyyou are Informed that this department holds that tho naturalization of a Chinese person by an adjacent country would not quality suoh person to enter tho United States, and you are instructed to de cline to consider the papers mentioned as In any manner changing the statns of such person, so far as his admission into the United States is concerned. An official of the Tceasury Department said this afternoon that it was u debatable question if this action of the department in refusing to recognize British naturalization of Chinese persons is not in conflict with the treaty with Great Britain whereby its subjects are allowed to enter and leave the United States at any time and all times.

Cholera Is dangerous, bnt It can be, should be prevented. If the dust containing the germ of cholera Is blown by the wind into your homes or your faces, you must kill these germs and at once.

Dr. J. E. Ilarper.cditor of the Medical Re porter, says: "When an alcohollo stimulant Is needed Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey should be given." Professor nenrr A. llott says: "The purity of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey should ceitalnly recommend it to the high est publio favor." The best possible advlco which can be given to people, whether residing in the city oroountrv, Is to make use of some pure al cohollo stimulant, which will Keep the blood In healthy circulation and prevent germs from getting a strong hold on the stagnant system. Duffy's Pnre Malt Whiskey will do- mis; impure wnisxey win not uuiry's pure Malt Whiskey will drive out or kill all disease germs; Impure whiskey does not. The duty, therefore, of securing that and that only which is absolutely pnre is appar ent to all. The H. J.

Over Its Chief Exponent's Interesting Talk In Regard to Himself! The fashion In music Is all running toward the banjo this season. Thousands of girls and women in jashlonable society, to say nothing of the men, have taken np the banjo as the popular musical Instrument of the day. The "thrum thrum" of fair fingers U heard on every hand. Prof. Henry C. Weltzel, one of the greatest musicians this century has produced, occu pies tbe undisputed position of the best banjo player in the world. Visited at his home, 841 South Canton street. Baltimore, Md., the great exponent of the banjo was found full of enthusiasm for his beloved In strument. And In bis hands the music U indeed beautiful wondorful. The great professor, as everybody knows, was most seriously sick for a time, but his thousands of admirers will be glad to learn that he has completely recovered hla health. professor HEr a WErrzEt. Wnen approached In regard to his health, he spoke In raptures concerning bis re covery, for he considers his restoration to health little short of a miracle, as he bad well-nigh lost hope of ever being well again. "I suffered severely," he said, "with indigestion, nervous prostration and palpi tation of the heart. I bad spells of weak ness come ovor me so tbat mv legs would give way and I would be forced to leave my work. In fact I was iu a bad fix, and my nerves were in a very serious con dition. I now thank God tbat I got some of Dr. Greene's Nervnra blood and nerve remedy got the best medicine at lust after trifling with many doctors, who did me no good. I am using my second bottle, and It certainly beats all the medicine I ever saw. I tell you I feel like another man." Prof. Weitzel is well known at this office, and tbe editor can therefore personally vouch for the absolute truth and correct ness of every one of the above statements. None of Prof. Weltzel's friends ever ex pected to see him well again, and his res toration to health Is a great triumph for Dr. Greene's Nervnra blood and nerve remedy. It certainly does enre tbe sick. It makes them strong and well. Besides, It has the great virtue of being a perfectly harmless remedy, as it is purely vegetable. Although sold by druggists for $1 03, it is not a patent medicine In the ordinary sense of tbe word, but is tho discovery and prescription of the great specialist in nervous and chronlo diseases, Dr. Greene, of 33 Wet Fourteenth street, New York, who gives consultation and advice free to the sick and suffering, either personally If yon call at bis office, or by letter If you write him about your case. We advise sufferers from disease to use bis wonderful discovery, which so remarkably restored Prof. Weitzel to health and strength. CUISE3 BAD BLOOD- CUP.E3 BAD BLOOD. CUKES BAD BLOOD.
