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. John Morley, Chief Secre
tary lor Ireland, is keeping in closest touch

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

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

tour of the distressed districts. He has sent

YERHOEFF'S PLUCK.
Peary's 3nsing nelper Accustomed Illm
selT to Ice Baths Dally Clad In Thin
American Costame, and Eager to "Win
I"ainc as an Arctic Explorer.
Philadelphia. Sept 23. 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. Should
they otherwise have left 18 months'
irovisions at Red Cliff House for him? I
mid that he was contemptibly used. .He
contributed $7,000 to accompany this great
expedition, after having trained himself for
it for years. And when the expedition
which was the trip across the inland ice cap
and nothing else began he was left be
hind." YerhoefTs actions from the timo the party
reached Greenland were described as pecu
liar and as pointing to an intention to stay
and live with the Eskimos. It is said that
he continually wore American trousers and
the thinnest kind of clothing, and that
almost every day he would go in the water
naked where holes had been cut in the ice.
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.
In speaking of the fate of Verhoeff, Lien
tenant Peary said he had no right to in
dulge in surmises, but he gae the impres
sion that he believed Verhoeff was dead.

TRIBUTE TO M'KINLEY.
Protection's Champion Given an Ova
tion in Philadelphia.
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

as trood constitntional lawvor as Acllui E.

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

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.

BliOorcLYX, N- Y., Sept. 23. 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

Richmond, Va., Sept 23. General

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 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.

IS IT COMING!
The Possibility of n Cholera Epidemic A
Few Words of Advice and Warning.
There can be no doubt as to the presence
of cholera here In America, nor that it will
Increase, but there Is no reason why people
should become panio stricken. It la true
there Is poison in tho air and In the water,
hut that "air onnce of prevention Is worth a
pound of cure" is no less trne beoause it is
old. 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. If the water you
drink contains germs or cholera you must de
stroy these germs quickly. Thev can be killed.
Howl By heeding what the highest known
medical authorities emphatically state.
1'iofessor Austin Flint, the leading profes
sor In Bellevne College, says:
"The judicious use of alcohollo stlmnlants
is ne of the striking characteristics of
progress in the practice of medicine during
the last half century."
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.

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.
