COFYING FROM AMERICA. Enland Looking to Her OJTiprlng for Lestoni in Political Economy Local Option. Copyrig-t, LSSC, by the United Press. London, May 24. A remarkable feature of -'English' legislation just now is the tendency to copy from the United States. Not many years ago the suggestion that anything was American was sufficient to inuro rejection, but now all is changed, ana the American example is quoted with forco and authority. The latest proposed &doption of an American method is the intended abolition of the gorgeous feudal high sheriff, appointed by the crown, who cuts such a wonderful figure in royal receptions and judicial circuits, and the substitution in his place of a paid sheriff devoting all his time to his duties and without the Lord Mayor's show surrounam gs of the office, as at present constituted. The subject will probably receive attention at the present cession of Parliament. The BheritTs office in England is much sought after, the sheriff being the official head of the county gentry and representative of the Queen's authority. As in the case of the country magistrates., no compensation is given, the honor being deemed sufficient recompense. -The American -principle of local option for the liquor traffic, which is embodied in Xiord Randolph Churchill's license bill, has gained many recruits within a few days, out the presence of the feature of compensation to publicans whose licenses are withdrawn prevents the advocates of temperance legislation from generally espousing the Churchill measure; The London County Council, also a recently instituted body formed upon the American plan of a board of county supervisors, is agitating for the adoption of the betterment principle, which compels adjoining owners to pay a share of the cost of a public improvement, i. - . : i. !.:. .1 i. DI1UII US i -g:i W iy Uk UilUC, H1JU U IXllTLU UC1 of the Council seemed very much surprised when informed that this, too, had been the rule in America for many years. Lord Salisbury is said to be dazed bythe opposition which the government's proposal to compensate publicans has aroused, and, on this subject too, the example of the JLJnited States is quoted with telling force against the administration. "In the United States." said Mr. Bryco m Parliament, "where local option has been adopted so largely, there had never been, he believed, a single case of compensating either brewers or liquor-sellers for the suppression of their trade." The opponents of the measure even claim that It would throw upon the country a burden of not less than $1,TjOO.GCO.OOO. This, added to the 3750.000,000 which the Irish land-purchase bill, according to the claims of its antagonists, will exact from Great Britain, is making the tax-payer verv uneasy, and no government can long hold place in England which arouses the anxiety of the tax-payer. The members of the llouse of Commons are nearly all of tho property-holding class, and they feel at once, in their incomes, any addition to the bnrden of taxation. In one respect only is a British Parliament always liberal, and that is in granting money for warlike purposes or to support the royal family. . In addition to .this powerful feeling, which mainly affects tho pocket-book, the temperance sentiment of the country is aroused as it never was aroused before. From all parts of Great Britain protests are ponriugin from temperance organizations, and even tho Church of England Temper ance Society, the -most conservative of thoso bodies, is demanding that such men as Archdeacon Farrar, Canon Wilberforce and Canon Barker make themselves beard in assault upon tho compensation clause of the licenfo bill. This is attacking the gov ernment in the house of its friends, for the Church of England is the pillar of tho Conservative party. The government is all the more uumfounded by tho- situation, for the reason that tho bill was undoubtcdlv introduced with a view to propitiating the temperance sen timent ox tee united Kingdom by mating the retail liquor trado subject to local au thority instead of being, as at present, controlled by magistrates appointed by the Crown; and the compensation clatiso was intended as a sod to the liquor trade to in duce its members to readily acquiesce in tho government's scheme. Instead of this effect, how ever, the government is losing its own supporters as to this particular measure, and there is some danger of a disruption of tho Liberal-Unionist and Tory alliance. .Sooner than than faco such a risk, however, the government would with draw the bill. GLADSTONE OS LAROR. His Views on the Rights and Itcsponiibill ties of Hritlsh Worklngmen. Copyright 1SW, by the United Press.) London, May 24. Tho National Liberal Club has ordered tho reprint of several million copies of Mr. Gladstone's article, which recently appeared in Lloyds' Lonilon newspaper on 'Tho Rights and Responsi bilities of Labor," so that it can be placed in the hands of eyery workingman beforo the gcncralclcction. Mr. Gladstone says nothing on the eight-hour question, nor on any individual strike or dispute. He prefers to look back upon the changes which havo converted strikes from offenses against the criminal law into perfectly , recognized and reputable exercises of tho right to withdraw one's commodities from 'a bad market. Siuco 1S25 tho mainspring of the laborer's life has, as Mr. Gladstono says, gradually shifted from a point outside himself, to anoint fairly within his base and almost within reach of his yen cen ter. When the great reform bill was pissed the workman was already almost fully pri vileged bv law to live as he chose, and the work has yet to be amended and completed by a thorough reform of registration by ' which the voting power of the British nation will.riso to some seven millions. Midwav between the baffled past repression 'and tho triumphant future combination of labor Mr. 'Gladstone pauses to consider iue causes ui iuo vuiiuua im. iu tuu workinsmen of tne country already have the rule of it at their feet if they will only caro to all put their hand down simnlta-tit-nnslv anil nick it tin. Thelfeasibilitv of this simple act of co-operation must 6oon bo recognized, nnd Mr. Gladstone looks forward to it with no more apprehension than any clear-sighted and sympathetic man. Labor has already learned some magnanimity from success, and in its judgments justice and generosity have naturally thriven with the increased room for their exercise. To the advance of labor Mr. Gladstone sets but ono limit, and that is at tho threshold of socialism. Labor will soon be capital's equal, but she cannot 1 1 A. I A. ijl linn uispeno wim ii, nor is iv cssuunai iw uci strength that she should do so. fr Jllirlrtnnn intends, if he should be called to rcsumo the chief position in tho executive government, to place the legislation to which he refere, dealing with tho franchise and registration of voters, Including lodgers, beyond all risk of failure by delay, so that in any caso the next election will bo the last taken under existing laws. While no measures could bo more just or needful than those which in this way would raise the number of voters to seven millions, and make their votes rnoro responsible and effective by abolition of plural voting, none would be more beneficial to tho Liberal party, who would gain most of all in London. - EX-CHANCELLOR BISMARCK. ills Relations with the Emperor Not Strained, Notwithstanding Many Rumor.

This arrange ment is considered the more desirable, as Prince Albert Victor is both physically and mentally weak, whilo his brother is of sound constitution. GENERAL. FOREIGN NEWS.

Isabella Shunned by England's Noble Ladles. Loudon Cable Special. ',"''" There were some curious scenes at Lord Salisbury's reception last evening, in consequence of ,the . presence of Isabella of Spain, who was the bright particular star of the occasion. It was amusing to witness the efforts of English groat ladies to avoid being presented, not wishing to do lowly homage or to kiss the hand of a woman whoso conduct at one time was the scandal of Europe. Tho Duchess of Portland and the Duchess of New Castle refused point blank to hold any intercourse with the notorious visitor. This created an awkward situation for the Duke of Portland, who is master of the horse, drawing a salary of 12,500, aud officially bound at -least to treat tho Queen's guests with respect. On confutation," however, the two noblemen acieed that the question was one which it w'as competent for their wives to decide themselves. But, frowned on or not, Isabella's presence drew such a crowd to the reception that seven ladies fainted on the stairs, and several more complained that they had been robbed of various articles of jewelry. Therefore it is supposed professional thieves succeeded in gaining admission. International Miners Congress. Brussels, May 24.

Local-Option Towns in Pennsylvania Invaded bv Cincinnati Brewers. Car-Load of Eeer Disposed , of in Two HoursJustice Miller's Reply to Criticisms of the Recent Supreme Court Decision. Pittsburg, May .Original nackago houses were opened in Apollo and Lochburg, both local-option: towns, this afternoon, "by William Silverman, agent for the Cincinnati Brewing Company. A carload of beer, in packages of from oneeighth to" one-half barrels each, arrived at Lochburg at 5 o'clock this evening, and in less than two hours the contents of the car had been sold out, and "original packages" were soon traveling in all directions on the shoulders of men and boys. A committee of citizens, appointed at a general meeting last night, met again this evening' and decided to enter a suit against Silverman on Monday for violation of thV State liquor laws. The authorities will also enter suit for maintaining a nuisance in the borough. Silverman says he will refuse bail if arrested. and if "the case is decided in his favor will, hold the committee for damages. Asa result of the industry4 the streets were filled with drunken men to-night. There is great excitement and the sentiment is pretty nearly evenly divided. The Decision Defended by Justice Miller. Des Moixes, la.,' May 24. Justice Miller, of the United States Supreme "Court, has been criticised by .many -people in this State for joining in the "original-package" decision. Rev. J.. P. Teter, a Methodist clergyman at Oskaloosa, and a personal friend of the Justice, . has received from him the following letter on the subject: "I regret to find that you are in trouble aoout my concurrence in the recent decision of the Supreme Court in regard to the sale of goods imported from abroad, or from another State, in the original packages. 1 venture to hope that I shall not wholly forfeit your esteem because, in obedience to that sense of conscientious duty which I have no doubt prompts j-on in this matter, 1 have felt bound to -follow the decision made by this court more than sixty , years ago, ,which has never been doubted or disputed from that day to this. Indeed, that decision, in addition to being o decision of this court, was one which fell from the lips of the greatest constitutional lawyer that this government ever had. It was based upon a construction of tho Constitution of the United States. This Constitution has not been altered since, and the judgment of the court has remained without question from that day to this, now sixty-threeyears ago. Many people like you, I think, havo the idea that tho Supreme Court is only bound in its decisions by tho views which they may have of abstract moral right. But we are as much sworn to decide according to the Constitution of the United States as you are bound by your conscience to a faith in the Bible which you profess to follow. If rny views of the true meaning of the Constitution of the United States in a question before me as a judge of one of the courts of the country should 'Compel me to differ from the whole world, I should do it as cour ageously as 1 have no doubt you would stand bv any doctrine which you believe to be taught in the lIolyvBible. This is the only letter that 1 nave attempted to answer on this subject, and. however my friends may think that I erred on this subject. I . must bear their censure. If I should believe everything which you believe on the subject of prohibition, I must still follow the Constitution of tho United States until it is changed by those who have authority to do so." Test Case in Minnesota. St. Paul, Minn., May 24. A case of the ; "original package" versus tho high-licenso law of this Stato is soon to be heard by the , Supreme Court. One Peter Schroeder had a saloon in llenning, Minn., where he sold liquor in original, packages, and did so without a license. His object was to test the law, and now that he has been arrested he contends that it is an interference with interstate commerce to stop the sale of these original packages. ' KNIGHTS OP PYTHIAS.

ANARCHISTS AND DYNAMITE

Ten-Pound Can of Explosives Found Under Chicago's Hajmarket Mod ument Enough to nave Blown Up Several Blocks of Buildings The Fuse Partly Burned, but Extinguished by a Heavy Rain. -Chicago.. May 24. The night of May 4, 1S8G7 the date ot the Anarchist riot, was recalled to mind this morning with startling vividness by the discovery of unmistakable traces of an attempt to blow up the Haymarket monument and tho surrounding buildings, with a gigantic charge of dynamite. A policeman passing near the monument saw at its base what appeared to bo a roll of black cloth, tied with a small rope. He reached through tho railing end pulled on the supposed rope. It parted in his fingers and.. easily crumbled- as though charred by fire.- He then climbed over. the fence and made a discovery that took away his breath. 1 Tied up in a piece of black cloth was a tin can about twelve inches long and four inches in diameter. The vessel was evidently full of some substance, and weighed about ten pounds. In the top of the can was a small hole about three-eighths of an inch in size, from which he pulled the rope. - Beside the can lay several pieces of the string which had crumbled beneath the touch. It was the fuse. The powder within had burned out. leaving tho outer covering intact, but very brittle. The fuse was in a dozen pieces, and bad apparently been soaked with kerosene. On the tep approaching the base of the statue was found an unlighted piece of the fuse, to one end of which was attached a small dynamite cap. This when tried with tiro flashed readily. i - . It is believed that the heavy rain of this morning prevented an . explosion which must navo been most disastrous in its consequences. The cap on tho unlighted piece of fuse is precisely like the one that Lingg used in taking his own life. The charge of dynamite, according to the police, was enough to blow up soveral blocks. Tho machine was probably placed tbere early this morning. An explosion would havo made terrible havoc With street-cars frequently passing so close, too, the loss of life would have been great. The cau with its terrible contents and pieces of burned fuse were turned over to the Central Station officers, who took i t to t ho iEtna Powder Company's office, where an expert made an examination. The csn contained a composition, fti per cent, of which was nitroglycerine, and would have made a terrible explosion had the fire reached it. The fuse was of the kind ordinarily used. Nothing but the timely shower of rain prevented the plot being successfully realized. Detectives have bet n detailed to find out the authors . of the plot. Chief of Police Marsh was seen and questioned by a reporter in regard to the matter. 'Have you had any intimation that (ho Anarchists had been secretly organizing of late, or that any attempt had been made to revive the old spirit of anarchy!" was asked. Just at this moment 1 should prefer not to answer that question," replied the Chief. "If this attempt should prove to be nothing but a scare, it would be unadvisable to givo the public any foundation for being alarmed." It was learned, however, that there has been a decided movement on the part of the "Reds" of late to resuscitate the old feeling of revolution and to organize them into fighting shape. Secret meetings have been held by the old groups. Herr Most, whom the old followers of Spies and Parsons now recognize as leader, has been secretly sending to Chicago circulars urging tho followers to organize and prepare to strike another blow.
