Far from it. The Trib- \*ine is a firm believer in the patriotism, I' ' honesty and integrity of a vast majority % . of tho citizens of this country. It has -merely called attention to the character of those who*are loudest in their expres­ sions of exultation. The Tribune can- Jiot justly bo accused of political tessimism for it knows that Tuesday's lection was not an expression of the .^majority.

THEY HAVE ROPE ENOUGH. *" Attention is now called ~ ' -that the great democratic to the fact •victory" of •Tuesday, Nov. 4, is not a remarkable > Victory, showing an increase of demo- L, V,. 'cratic votes. In fact, an analysis of the f ; , .Jigures shows that there has been no numerical increase of democratic strength, but that, on the contrary, the ./success of the unterrified at the polls / * was almost altogether due to republican Apathy. This fact is shown by so astute .. «.nd conservative a democratic authority i mUS Senator Arthur P. Gorman, of " Mary- . land, and here are his words: "While tho democrats throughout the land are to be congratulated on the hand- ,fe{... jfcooiemanner in which they turned out and $ . tvent to tho polls on election day, it must jiot be forgotten that a careful review of % the figures will show hut a slight Increase P J | n t h e d e m o c r a t i c v o t e . I t w i l l n o t d o f o r i,:, 4us to break ranks and imaging that wo » . jhave securcd a position that cannot bo 'V •* Shaken by our enemies two years hence. I I '• have been looking over tho figures this ; Vifuorning and I find that we polled within ' "•* 1)00 of our full vote in Baltimore City, while the republicans were several thousand > •. Short. So it goes in nearly all of the states. "V • tChe returns show that the republicans ^ere so disgusted with their leaders in con- '% \ Jpress that they refused to vote for them. ; They did not turn around and vote for us, * ' laut they simply remained away from tho S .

It $ i Therefore behooves our people to maintain i^: .fheir organisation and endeavor to hold the . ' • i&dvantage they have gained In the recent Struggle." £. Taking this as a suggestion, a Very >, careful analysis has been made in Wash- ' ington of the returns from the various »t Congressional districts in order to ascer­ tain whether the test which he has ap- to Baltimore is applicable to the f( Hvholc country; and one of the Vest cor- . Respondents at the national capital gives J /' the result. In order that the basis of comparison may be entirely fair the 5/. *-gerrymandered districts were omitted, '•J', - well as those districts In some of * » the western states where the farmers' ^ inovement amounted practically to fanaticism. It was found that the test /Of Mr. Gorman applies, with the excep- ' tion indicated, to the republican districts V In tho northern states. In nearly all of he districts examined the democratic ote cast on Tuesday is actually less than tho democratic vote cast in the Same district two years ago, while tho republican vote in all the districts ex­ amined was very much less. In other words, what is cal led the great democratic •Victory in the northern states is a vic­ tory due to the fact that the republicans stayed away from the polls. The land- h-ts'. Slide in favor of the democracy was only |S%|nade possible by republican apathy, f i, . JThe total congressional vote of 1890 in the states named will be found to be * . very much less than in 1888, while the :>r , republican voto in some of the districts 'k^tjuced by one-half. Why that vote •' Vas reduced it will be for ropublican . {Statesmen to ascertain. * Applying this test locally, otaccept- Ing it comprehensively, republicans may find still greater encouragement. The - democratic party, with Its huge jnajor- - *ity In the house, may be relied upon to make a sufficient number of blunders between th<s time aiul iwvember, 1892,, to make at least every republican ready to turn out and do his best for its defeat. As the correspondent who notes Senator Gorman's philosophical observation says, already the democrats are engaging in factional contests over the speakership of the Fifty-second congress, the house offices and the presidential succession. The very size of the democratic majority places that party in greater peril, for with such an unwieldy majority it will be scarcely possible for the democratic leaders to keep the turbulent factions within their party under control. And In the Fifty-second congress that partv will not have the counsel of Samuel J. Jandall to keep them from mistakes. Democrats who havo not completely lost their heads over the unexpected and overwhelming victory which they have achieved with the active aid of political adullamites of every description and the temporary indifference of republi­ cans, are beginning to ask them­ selves the question: "What shall we do with our tremendous majority in the house of representatives?" From the south and portions of the west comes the prompt, hearty, unanimous response of Mills, Crisp, Breckenridge, Bynum, Springer, and their coadjutors and fol­ lowers, "Pass a tariff bill framed on radical free trade lines; that is what our victory means and wo must hasten to gather its fruits." There cau be no doubt that this demand will be enforced by Mills and his followers, who sincerely believe that the voters of tho United States have experienced a conversion from protection to free trade in the short space of two years. The faith of, Mills in the Mills bill never wavered even in tho darkest November days of 1888. For about seven months past he has neglected his duties as a legislator in order to preach a free trade crusade in every stato and congressional district in the north and west in which he found any encouragement to labor; and no man in his party to-day dares to claim as much credit for the present revolution in the house of representatives as does the sage of Corsicana. He is not only confident, but bold and aggressive to a fault. He will be elected speaker If he desires the honor; if not, the man of his choice will be chosen, and he will be a man who will so organ- fze the ways and means commit­ tee that it will promptly bring in and pass a tariff bill compared with which the "dark lantern," bill of two years ago was a moderate and conserva­ tive measure. The democratic majority is under bonds to do no less, and Mills and his coadjutors will see to it that the pledge is redeemed without any unnec­ essary delay. Cool-headed and far-see­ ing democrats have already taken tho alarm and begun to utter warnings which will be heeded even less than were like warnings in the Fiftieth con- gross. With more than three times as big a majority in the houso as it then had, the democratic party is bound to go much further than it did in 18S8; and if Gov. Hill or any other democrat attempts to stem or moderate the free trade tide, he will be quickly engulfed. 4^$HEERFUL FUNERAL, ,V _____ The democratic party, as represented by its newspapers, is now engaged in its periodical and pleasant employment of reading the republican party's obituary. It affords the democratic party consider­ able amusement, and does the repub­ lican party no harm. The leading organ of the Bourbons in the west is now say­ ing that the republican party served its purpose twenty-five years ago. It said the same thing before election, and its ancestors said the same thing before it was born. What a marked and favorite characteristic of the democratic party this is! It is only some years after that the accomplishments of the republican part are recognized and admitted by the opposition. The same democratic ora­ tors who in their speeches eulogize Abra­ ham Lincoln as a grand martyr, and stamp him as the representative Amer­ ican, once called him the vilest names, or.- their fathers did before him. Whilo he was a republican can­ didate for president, and while ho was engaged in the performance of his dutiea for president, he was the object of most violent dislike and criticism by all who marched under tho democratic banner, but now, by all save the vindictive and never-forgiving, never-forgetting representatives of the democratic party in the south, he is honestly regarded as one of the grandest figures in American history. With Lin­ coln's party, it is just as it was with Lincoln. Present proposals are all wrong; past accomplishments are glori­ ous. Democratic newspapei s are neither good observers in the present, good re­ flectors on the past, or good prophets of the future, when they reckon that oc­ casional defeats at the polls are to souud the final knell of the ropublican party. Parties do not die easily. If they did, the democratic party would have been buried and reduced to dust lonir, long ago. Its funeral sermon has been preached many a time, and by sincere mourners of its own family. One promi­ nent eulogist of the democratic party in Iowa lived to become that party's candidate fci California. Tho re­ publican party attends these funerals which the democratic party loves to hold over its "remains." It does not at­ tend as the corpse, for tho corpse is a man of straw, which the democrats be­ lieve to be the ropublican party, or at­ tempt to make themselves believe it, just as wondering children have attempted to remove mountains by trying to per­ suade themselves that their faith is at least equal to a grain of mustard. The republicans attend these solemn services, not as mounters either, but as irreverent crowds outside. They enjoy the mock solemnity of the occasion; they get lots of fun out of it, and while the democrats are mourning over their supposed-to-be- deceased sister, she is preparing for the next contest. Seriously, however, the republican party has no cause to be discouraged over the result of last Tuesday's elec­ tion. There is no use now in saying it it might have been foreseen. The truth is, we were confident of success; but since defeat has come it is quite easy to see some of the causes for this reverse, and upon those causes a successful campaign will be built. It is a perverse and use­ less exaggeration to declare that the re­ publican party has served out its period of usefulness. As a party, it has years of good work before it, and upon the old lines and principles. They change only as the progress ot events brings changes. That is the strong point of tho republi­ can party. It is a party of intelligence, and is able to see the needs of the hour. At the present juncture it sees the need of the hour, and the TIMES is not ashamed to repeat, as it has said before, that out of this temporary defeat, strength is sure to come. AN INTERESTING FEATURS, _ tf. One of the most interesting features of the new election law in New York is the part which comes after the ballots have been cast and counted, and it is a feat­ ure which will be watched with curiosity by ev-rybody interested in the practical workings of the political machine. It is, in fact, the most practical effort to do away with the old "machine" and to estab­ lish a new one, the most intricate work­ ings of whose machinery shall be fully open to public scrutiny. Under the pro­ visions of the recent amendment to the corrupt practice acts each candidate Is bonnd to file a detailed statement of all moneys expended by him in connection with his election in the office of the county clerk within ten days after such election* The act also contains quite a number of other important provisions. For instance, it makes unlawful the pay­ ment of money to induce voters to re­ frain from voting; tho promise of any office or places of employment to voters by candidates, and the making of any promise, gift, loan or offer to induce any person to vote for any par- t icular candidate. Another clause makes it unlawful for the candidate to make any bet or wager with a voter or provide money with which a bet can be made on the result of the election, and still another provides for the punishment of employers who make threats to dismiss their employes if they vote for a certain candidate or intimidate them in any way within ninety days before election. Pun­ ishment for such offenses is provided by imprisonment in the county -jail for a period of not less than three months and over a year. Statements of expenses of candidates must be itemized, giving the names of the various persons who re­ ceived such moneys, the specific nature of each item and the purpose for which it was expended or contributed. If such a law were in operation in all the states, it would greatly add to the interest of post-election news. For In­ stance, it would gratify a great many people to know how much it cost Mr. Warwick to beat Maj. McKinley. It is generally.understood that he is making a vigorous kick about it, already. TEXANS ARE GOOD SHOTS. POLITICAL NOTES. THEHE are just as many republicans as ever in the country, and they will all vote for Blaine two years from now. SENATOP SHEBMAX declares that "the republican party Is all right"; and when he says a thing fs all right, that set­ tles it. THE Illinois republicans fought bravely lor tho school house, and the result shows .that the school house needs to be fought for still more effectively In that state. MR. GORMAN wisely suggests to the democrats that if they will study the figures they will see that their roosters are doing a good deal of crowing over unhatched eggs. THIBTKBX years have elapsed since Oliver P. Morton died; but from the looks of the Indiana election returns you would suppose he had been dead for at least a century. Gov. HILI, can have the " New York senatorship if he wants it, but the indi­ cations are that he will decline to be thus bribed to let the vegetables grow In Mr. Cleveland's garden^ COL. BRKCKINBIDGE, of Kentucky, would make a good speaker if ho could get rid of his liery, untamed habit of put­ ting his foot in his mouth when calm and judicious conduct is demanded. OP course the French newspapers, like those of England, hail the result of the election in this country with great delight. A democratic victory is always enthusiastically received by the foreign press. WISE democrats don't want Roger Q. Mills for the speakership, but as his de­ feat for that office would give him the more important post of chairman of the ways and means committee, they will not help their interests much by oppos­ ing him. WHEN the figures are all la, it will be found that the democratic voto of last Tuesday, in spite of the democratic vic­ tories, was much smaller than the demo­ cratic vote of two years ago. The re­ publicans did more fishing than the dem­ ocrats--that's all. IT is worth noting that a republican was elected to congress in North Caro­ lina by a majority of about 1,200, but this does not imply that he will get his seat. A republican majority in a South­ ern state is an anomaly that a demo­ cratic house will take pleasure in repudi- ating. ' • The French Milliner. ' No wonder the French bonnets have an air and a style never to be attained this side of the water. Hear now they learn the pretty art of putting together a bit of lace, a flower, a ribbon and fet tering them with a wire or two. Three years is the apprenticeship of the French milliner. Influence, special talent and money secure the aspirant tuition in a first-class house. The price demanded by the leading milliners for the secret of their skill is $360. During the three years' appenticeship tho apprentice is boarded by madaine and has an oppor tunlty to become an artist. During her apprenticeship, however, she never earns a sou, and not until the third year is she permitted to design. The third year is devoted principally to visiting wholesale houses, examining and pricing ribbons, feathers ar,d flowers. To every ball, re­ ception, wedding, theater, she must go, that no whim of Dame Fashion may es­ cape her alert eye. The first night of every new play or opera find the milli­ ner's apprentice in a front box. The madamc defrays the expenses of these outings, which to the uninterested seem a round of pleasure. It is as essential to the milliner's apprentice to be at every fashionabio gathering as for the creators of literature, art or music to be in tho atmosphere of their aspirations. The third year is the severest, despite its in­ terests, in the milliner's apprenticeship. In, the height of the seasons they aro on the wire from early morning often until the following daybreak. Daylight often finds them working out ideas caught at a midnight ball or soiree. Such a life de­ mands a strong constitution, and many an apprentice never recovers fully from the strain of the third year. The trade mastered, the most skilled rarely com­ mand a salary exceeding $40 or 850 a month. So jealously do most great houses guard their reputation for novelty that they change their designers fre­ quently lest they fall into ruts or man­ nerism. The saleswomen nndergo al­ most the same discipline as the head de­ signer or trimmer, and once in the trade they are known throughout the milli­ nery houses of Paris by their Christian names, "Mademoiselle Marie," "Jean" or whatever it may bo. It is the am­ bition of each to become in time mistress of an establishment, and lucky is she who wii^s the smiles of a star of the Odeon, Comcdie Franeaiso or the Grand opera.--Chicago Inter Ocean. The Drmorsllting Clgarrtte. Pipes are coming into fashion again, but only in offices and out of sight of the public. Possibly the time will come when a man will feel justified in producing a pipe in the smoking compartment of a car here or in stalking along the street with one, after the fashion of tho young clerks in England. The increase in the price of cigars has already had some startling results, and possibly this will be one of them. If so, the smokers of Havana cigars will be heard in protest before long. It is a curious and inex­ plicable thing that a cigarette or a pipe will destroy the flavor of the best cigar that was ever made. A man. with a cigarette can spoil the comfort of fifty cigar smokers, and a pipe of strong to­ bacco will ruin tho flavor of every cigar within reach.--New York Sun. Kill the Cats. A French scientist declares that the domestic cats of the world would carry at least 30 per cent, of the common con­ tagious diseases from house tar bouse. * Sengr»«*m«m trmm the Lone Star Stale Have u Kepulatlon in Washington. There is a shooting gallery oa .Pennsylvania avenue. It is located near ;he National aud Metropolitan Hotels, where the Texaus and other Southern Congressmen *top. Ordinary marks- moo shoot at bull's-eyes, or at tin men *nd women which dauce, or at station­ ary clay pipes. But when the keeper of the place sees Congressmen Stewart aud Lanhain, of Texas, coming in he start* up an automatic machine which makes glass balls whirl at the ends of long strings in a most confusing way. Stewart is a very large man. He "is fn»m' Southern Texas. Lanham is a little man from Western Texas, and un­ til the new States were let in lie repre­ sented more son are miles and prairie dogs than any other man in Congress. Both Stewart and Ltanliam can shoot. Stewart one evening last week smashed the flying glass balls with a small rifle at the rate of six out of ten sho*<». /.an- ham (lid n't do so well. The shooting-gallery man withdraws all premiums when the Texans enter. The only way they can shoot is against each other or ou the principle of a Dutch treat. Stewart, on the evening referred to, had challenged Lanham, and the one who fell short was to nettle the "core. Lanhtun saw the count goipg budly_agaiust him. -Give me pistols," he said to the at­ tendant. Stewart demurred, but Lanham made the point that having been challenged he was entitled to choice of weapons. Taking a pistol in each hand, Lanham fired first with the right aud then with the left. He broke every ball until he had overtaken Stewart, who wa3 still plugging away with the rifle. Then the big man gave it up and paid the score. As the gallery man took in the money he t-aid that he hadn't seen such pistol- shooting in his place for three months. "Oh, that wasn't much," said Lan­ ham. "You ought to see me when 1'ia out on my campaign next month. I ride a wild mustang and I plug the eyes out of jack rabbits every time I shoot." The gallery man's eyes followed ad­ miringly the retreating forms of the big and little Congressmen as he said: "Them Texas fellows is great on tho shoot. E' v' ever hear how Senator Reagan and Congressmen Gustave Sleicher played it on ns when they first came here to Cougress from Texas about fifteen or .sixteen years ago? We used to have crows out at the Schuctzen Park and the shooting-gallery did a gocd business. In those days we ft<ed to give three shots free for every time the bull's-eye was hit. You see there wasn't so many Southerners in Wash­ ington then. It was duriog reconstruc­ tion One day two country-looking chaps came to the gallery at the park and began to try their luck with the rifles. There was a gong which rang out every time the bull's-eye was hit. After blazing away two or three times to get the holt of the rides these two strangers got down to business, and I'll be dinged if they didn't bang that gong »»very cl»p for lifteen minute*. People began to come around and there was a crowd of 500 watching the shooting. The man iu charge kept count of the shots he owed the strangers until he found they were 300 ahead of him. Then he went to the two men and said: "Gentlemen, I earn my living at this business, and I've got a large family. You're into me now enough to take out all of the profits of one day. You've had your fun. If you'll give me the guns and let some of these good people who can't hit bull's-eyes every time have a chance I'll try to get even." "Somebody in the crowd recognized Beagan and Sleicher. Ever since that time we've looked out for them Texaas and made 'em pay for their fun."--* Washington letter. RUIN IN WALL STKEET. IN AID OF 0LI) IRELAND BANKS EMBARRASSED AN ^ IftRMS BANKRUPTED, DILLON AND O'BRIEN GIVEN A HEARTY RECEPTION. A Mother's Nerve. fTlle pioneer in a new countfj^ ^oth men and women, must know how to shoot and fight. Mrs. Darlying, of Fort Pierre, Florida, is one of these brave pioneers, and recently proved her skill and nerve uuder exciting circumstances. Near her house flows a small creek, and on the bank is the wash-house. One day Mrs. Darlving's servant-girl was doing the washing here, and with her was Alice Darlying, a baby of 2 years. The mother was at the house, doing some work, when she heard a terrible scream, followed by shrill cries from the baby. Snatching up a Winchester, the alarmed mother started for the creek." Seated under a long,' low, branching limb of a water-oak was little Alice, crying piteously; the servant-girl was lying near by, her head buried in her apron, almost dead with fright, and on the branch above, crouched a huge panther. The mother's nerves grew as steel at the peril of her child, aud with steady aim she fired. A dreadful screak followed the shot, and a long, veliow body fell swiftly downward. The panther landed on the ground, rolled over several times, and then rose up. despite the bullet iu its shoulder, and faced the woman. She puiled the trigger again, but this time the cart­ ridge failed to explode. The panther crouched, and was evidently about to spring; but Mrs. Darlying did not lose her ^vits. Grasping the big dipper, and standing betide the kettle that was filled with boiling water, she ladled it out and dashed it into the face of the big cat. The savage creature rolled over with a howl of pain, and, as the Woman continued to dash on the hot water, it hastily scrambled up the tree again. Mrs Darlying snatched up her rifle and fired three shots as rapidiy a« possible. At the third shot, down came the beast, dead as a door-nail, and Mrs. Darlying clasped her little one to her bosom and fainted. The skin of the pauther now adorns the brave woman's sitting-room, and Alice uses it for a rug. History of Old Handr«d. The hymn, called the "Old Hundred" appeared in the Genevan Psalter," a collection of psalms made by Louis Bourgeois in 1852. The collection was made under Calvin's direction for the use of tbo Reformed churches in France or Switzerland. The Genevan Psalter tune* found their way to England be­ fore the year 1600, and this oue was set to Kethe's poetical version of the Hundreth Psalm, "All people that on earth do dwell," and much later to Ken's Doxology. The tune was. origi­ nally known as the "Hundreth," but when new tune books appeared, all tunes copied from previous publications were designated "Qid," to distinguish tiiem from such as had been composed especially for the more recent work, and so the melody appeared under the title "Old Hundreth," or in this country Old Hundred." "WILL man ever fly?", is the title of an article going the rounds. Au ener- getio woman with a broomstick oonld answer that in the affirmative. Disastrous Result 0r an Extended Cant- p»is> by IS ear Speculators--Many Ml- llons Involved and Distress < »u«e* That Ts World Wlde-The Worst «T lk« TrooMe Probably Over. [New York dispatch.] Not since the dreadful time of Blacky Friday, twenty-one years ago, have there been such sad fortunes, such dis­ astrous sacrifices, such utter demoralize: tion as to-day. There was a panic. Quotations fell to pieces like the scattering blocks of a baby's upset toy-house. The bravest man was generally displacing his brav­ ery in demanding margins from somo speculating unfortunate, or in notifying soino other unfortunate that, lacking £.*rgins, he must submit to being sold out. Courage was at a discount, confi­ dence was nowhere. While real failures were taking place On the Stock Exchange a lot of fictitious ones were being proclaimed throughout Wall street by rumormongers, who quoted the names of conspicuous banks , as being unable to maintain their credit. The current sensationalism, so far as the banks were concerned, had much more invention than fact in it. Yet there was undeniable apprehension in banking cir­ cles. Bankers would not admit this freely, but early in the day there were conferences among representatives of clearing-house banks, and the banks of the New York Clearing Houso Associa­ tion determined to provide against every possible misfortune and exigency by pledging their associated credit in be­ half of every bank in the association. The associated banks of New York have available assets of JW5,(K;0,000. Against this tit was voted to issue clear­ ing-house certificates in such volume as the situation might suggest or require. As a measure of relief the bankers who resolved upon it are confident that it will at once be effectual. There is almost universal agreement among leading New York bankers that the money-market's recent range and tightness came through artificial influ­ ences. Funds have been locked up, taken out of ordinary business channels, kept out of reach--all in order to carry forward the bear campaign of depres­ sion, apprehension, and quotation smash­ ing. The provisions of clearing-house certificates--unlimited, if need be, up to $95.000,000--will, of course, put to rout ali these manipulative schemes. Said a member of the clearing-house committee largely instrumental in bringing about the official action of yesterday: "This ends the money-market trouble. Loan rates will be normal now. The pinch is over." When the Exchange opened this morn­ ing there was a larger attendance of brokers than had been known for years. Every stock on tho list had a crowd of brokers trying to trade in it,..and when tli" market opened the scene was one of confusion and excitement. The cables leporting an advance of 2 to 3 per cent, in London were received before the open­ ing and causinl the brokers to take the butl side, and a disposition to buy was shown all around. Humors of trouble among banking in­ stitutions were current all day, but no one paid much heed to them, thinking that they were the usual emanations of bear minds. After tho close, however, It was learned that three banks which were members of the New York Clearing H ouse Association had difficulty in set­ tling the claims of the other banks against them. There was a balance against the Bank of North America of 51,400,000, which it was unable to settle. The other banks were tho North liiver and the Mechanics and Traders'. How • the heavy balance was created against the Bank of North America was a puz­ zle. During the day the Mechanics and Traders' Bank made its settlement with the clearing house all right, and the other two banks received assistance from the other banks in the association and pulled through all right. At the Bank of North America it was said that the trouble was directly due to the account of Decker, Howell A Co., and that now that the account of that firm was closed, the bank was in a stronger position than ever. The most important-factor la the de* velopmcnts was the scarcity of money. Right up to the close it was in urgent demand, aud % per cent, and legal in­ terest was charged on loans, equal to 189 per cent, per annum. This fact and the troubles of the banks caused a special meeting of the Clearing House Associ­ ation to be called, and after a lung ses­ sion it was decided to appoint a commit­ tee of Presidents with authority to issue clearing-house loan certificates in order to enable banks to settle balances be­ tween themselves. These certificates will bo based on bills receivable, collateral securities, cash assets, and the united credit of the banks. This action is intended to distribute the re­ serves of the banks more evenly between the institutions. Where one bank is unable to settle its differences in cash it Will deliver securities and assets to the certificate committee, and if the commit­ tee accepts the socurities it will author­ ize the issue of certificates on them. The united action of the banks is oxpected to restore complete confidence. It was just after 2:15 o'clock this after­ noon that the failure of Decker, Howell & Co., of 44 Broadway, was announced on tho fstock Exchange. They made an assignment to William Nelson Cromwell. The firm is one of the largest on thefEx­ change and was considered very wealthy. It had been identified for years with the movements of tho Villard stocks and its members were generally considered Vil- lard's special brokers. The failure was considered the cloak that had been hang­ ing over the market, an^ after it was an­ nounced a rally of 1 to 2 per cent, oc­ curred. ,;..A Of Interest to A'L" WOODCHUCKS have the same GREETING as cats, but louder and more emphatic.

Hill l*re« <les Over the Meeting--Thou­ sands of .Dollars for the Cause ef Hoine Mule te Ireland. , • {Sew Tork dispatch.*-•< Tho Irish ParliamefcjrfMry party arrived here this afternoon and were met at the t»rand Central Depot by Mayor Grant,- J. J. • O'Donohue, Eugene Kelly and others. They were then driven to the Hoffman House, where, after dinner was served, a reception was held, Governor Hill arriving from Albany in time to par­ ticipate. When the party reached the Metropolitan Open* House at 8 o'clock, fully 5,000 people had congregated thete. Governor Hill presided, and among the vice presidents were Grover Cleveland, Levi P. Morton, C. M. Depew, Mayor Grant, William M. Evarts, Charles A. Dana, General Sherman, William C. Whitney, Leon Abbett, Wil­ liam R, Grace, Warner Miller, Carl Schurz, Noah Davis, Whitelaw Reid, John A. Cockerill, George Jones, Oswald Ottendorfer, J. I. C. Clarke, Edward L Godkin, Collector Erhardt, Postmaster Vancott, O. B. Potter, Hamilton Fish, Jr., J. J. Coogan, Colonel Cavanagh, Norvin Green, and Elbridge T. Gerry. Governor Hill, who was introduced as the American champion of home rule, was received with great applause. The Governor cordially welcomed the dele­ gates to the city and State, .lohn Dillon was then introduced amid an uproar of applause. He spoke in substance as fol­ lows: The cause for which I make this ap­ peal to the public of America is one which must commend itself to every free citizen of America. It is the claim of the Irish people to make their own laws--a claim to liberty and common hu­ manity. They claim those rights and privileges which have made this country what it is to-day. There are those who say we should not make an appeal to America, but we make it beca use our appeal to liberty has been answered by brute force. We have been reduced in our population from eight to four and a half ipillions. No money has been spared to crush Ireland. That being the case, is there any man who will say that the Irishinan is not justified in looking to every free people under the sun for liberty. In 1885, when 103 Irish members were sent to Parliament, eighty-five of them were sent to support our cause, and now tho English Government insists ou gov­ erning pur country in the face of the op­ position of theso eighty-five men. They will deny these rights for which your fathers fought They would reduce the country to the condition of Russia and place her under the rule of landlords. They will govern Ireland with a sys­ tem that requires 40,000 bayonets to hold It In subjection. Our population is less than that" of New York State, and yet it takes 40,000 men to keep the people quiet, and I am proud of the Irish peo­ ple for it They do all that because the Irish people cannot govern themselves. But has the Government ruled in a man­ ner that they should say we cannot rule our own country? They have had the rule for eighty-six years, but they have put down with a strong hand every effort made to eman­ cipate her people. I challenge any nation in history to produce such a his­ tory as ours. They have reduced the masses to rags and starvation. Where in other countries there havo beei^ in­ creases in population, in our country tho homes have been deserted, and this ha9 been the work of the garrisons in Ire­ land. , We can say for the defense of,our party that during the last ten years En­ gland has not been able to buy any one of our number. In 1880 we undertook to make an effort to free our people, arid to-day we have placed in the hands of an unarmed people a mightjy power. We have made them more than a match for Balfour and his men. For ten years we have been struggling, and twenty-live pf our men have, been persecuted and •, im­ prisoned, but not one of them has com­ mitted au act for which he would be im­ prisoned in one of your States. We have been subjected to a police system ,the like of which is not found on this earth. \¥e will soon have a police­ man to every citizen. When I am home In Ireland I am never without an escort, for my every step is watched. I, for my part, will never make an appeal for fam­ ine relief. I do appeal that the people will stand by us in this struggle--a struggle to destroy the perennial source of famine, and set up in the Dublin Cas- tlo a government that will represent Ire­ land and a government that will chase frofti our shores that specter of famine and degradation. Mr. Dillon was greeted with prolonged cheers, and then Gov- [ ernor Hill introduced William O'Brien, who said: We Irishmen never forget that there has always been one great nation that has sym­ pathy for us. In every struggle you have desired to assist us, and the instinct of hu­ manity has caused you to extend your blessings to a country bound to you by so muny ties. I have reason to know that every expression of American opinion exer­ cises a growing influence over the opinion of the English people. Here you aie hon­ ored and respected, but we come from a country where 5,000 prisoners have been treated like hogs. In a few months the vast masses will be standing In the shallow of a famine at which Mr. Balfour has jeered. We come for a fighting fund. The landlords' blight and the Dublin Castle blight are worse than any famine blight. The old country of Ireland is crushed under wheels of oppression. We have said wo would never beg again for a famine. We are fighting for our people, and It should be the pride of every Irishman to see that we are not defeated. We have challenged Mr. Balfour to name any In­ stance In which he has been entirely suc­ cessful against us, although he has perse­ cuted us at every step, A collection was then taken for the cause. It was announced that the re­ ceipts of the doors were £4,000. Subscrip­ tions wero called for and they swelled the total receipts of the evening to about 337,000. The following were some of the largest subscriptions: Eugene Kelly, $1,0C0: Joseph O'Donohue, §1,000; Major John Byrnes, #1,001); William R. Grace, $1,000; Mayor Grant, 81,000; Henry Mc- Aleenan, $1,000; Henry D. Purroy, $500; W. Bourke Cockran, $500; "Governor Hfll, 3100; Colonel William Brown, $1,000. Thomas P. O'Connor was also received with great applause and spoke briefly of the attempts of Balfour to suppress the Irish cause. The Americans were now striking the final blow. Ho predicted that the accounts of to-night's mee^ng would be read all over England and Ire­ land to-morrow, with joy in the latter place, but with fear in England. The Irish, he said, had built the fortifications of Irish liberty and the Americans were adding tho pinnacle of success to their efforts at home. Resolutions indorsing the cause of home rule and denouncing the policy of tho tory government toward Ireland were adopted. They concluded as follows: Re»viced. That believing home rule--the ranting ot local self-government--is the inly guarantee of peace to England and prosperity to Ireland, we bid godspeed to William E. Gladstone and Charles Stewart Parnell in their endeavors to settle ou lines of equality and justice the problem that centuries of force have utterly failed to solve; and we pledge them our active, earnest, unfaltering support until the struggle is over and the battle won. In conclusion T. D. Sullivan made a short speech, thanking the. Irish-Ameri­ cans for their gonerous offering*. 1' :•; -A.
