"Was Mr. Davis's name coupled with that or Kneflerr -1 think not." "What do yon know of the affairs of the order!" "1 have only seen the allegations as printed in the papers, and do not know specifically what is charged. 1 do not bo lieveitwiil be possible to bring any eri o.ns charge against the management.

The charge tout the order is insolvent. is absurd. It has money, enough on hsnd to meet Its current liabilities, and its system of finance is snob that it can secure money as its liabilities .become due. The order hns beer, having considerable annoyance in the Eastrrn States on account of adverse legislation, but in every light where there has been a chance to show the order's resources and liabilities it has won. The allegations as to the future liabilities of the order, what thfty will be in ls'JS, lb04 and lfel'5, 1 have seen the same thins time and again in the newspapers. It was devised by opposing companies. I think the plaintills in tbo bill have sot their information from newspaper articles. Whatever Mr. Kneller may Lave lost or won could have nothing to do with the iron Halt, as he was only a clerk. He is not connected with tho oilice now and has not been since last September. He is now. 1 believe, collector for tho Home llrewing Company. There is suite work behind this scheme but it will fail. There is a sort of epidemio going over the country to have receivers appointed for iraternal societies of the character of the Iron Hall. They have a large amount of assets and tho reeeiver gets correspondingly heavy fees. The court cannot always be induced to appoint a friend of the complainant to tho position of receiver. This move will causo & great deal of injury to the order, but tho members will stand by it and it can afford to have the truth bo known." AD OUT THE OKDER.
!U Itapld Growth In 31einberihlp Character of Its Policies. The Order of the Iron Hall was instituted Dn the 2Sth day of March, 1581, and paid its first sick benefit in Jnly ef the samo year. Its growth was phenomenal, and since the date ot its organization it has paid sick, disability and death claims to the amount of $7,0u0,000. The officers estimato the assets at something between one and a half and two million dollars, but can trot say positively what they are until all the local tranches have been heard from. The official statement published Jan. 1 gives them at 2X0,000. In the beginning of ltd I they had a membership of 53J06, which increased to C5.204 at the beginning of the present year, and it is now about 70,000. The membership is scattered throughout the country and embraced in 1,200 local branches. The source of revenue is assessments of gi 50 per member. The Average number of assessments per year has been from eighteen to twenty, which, at the present time, yield it at income of over $3.CCO.O0O per annum. The order l as encountered some ditliculty in operating in some of the Eastern states. Minnesota, it is said.v has laws unfriendly to organizations of its kind. The New York Legis. lature. by a special act this year, admitted it to that fctate. The Iron Hall is a scheme originated by Emi Kennedy, who afterwards proposed a plan to build a double-track narrow-gauge railroad from New York to San Francisco. Tho weekly benefits paid by the order in case of sickness is and Si, 000 npon death, provided there are no deficits on the policy. It is one of the "Don't-have-to-die to-win" concerns, and at the expiration of seven years tho policy-holder receives 1,CX0. A lapso works a forfeiture of the policy. . TROUCtK IN THE EAST. Wrangle Between Soraerby and the Massachusetts Jlember in 1889. The State of Massachusetts has long been A thorn in the side of the management of the Iron Hall. In July. 1S&, tho malcontents in that State charged that within two years following that date the term of seven years would expire for many of the Massachusetts members, and they would be entitled to the $1,000 which they expected for the 8300 they had paid in. It was claimed that to meet this exigency the central authorities were squeezing these members out on all sorts of trumpedup pretexts. In support of this it was stated that charters held by district branches in Massachusetts were forfeited, leavint the branches directly responsible to the Supreme Sitting at Indian ipolis, thus bringins the members moro than ever under the personal authority of the supreme justice, whoe course they were tben complaining of. At this timo it was claimed that the by-laws of the order had been changed so as to centralize the power .in the hands of the people at Indianapolis and enable them to increase the number of lapses, and that tbo central body would have more money at its command than ever. It was noticed that tho assessments of the order were increasing and that whereas, in the schedule presented to the Massachusetts Legislature, in lSbS, when thy were trjing to get a foothold in that State, the programme included tifteeu assessments for IfcBO when, as a (natter of facr. the assessments proved to be nearly Jouble that number. At that time tho Supreme Sitting here laid the troubles in Massachusetts all grew out of the enmities of other forms of inlurauce and annuity investments. It was then explained that the reserve fund foatnreof the ortr was instituted, to aid in meetint the hrst-class benefits, which matured nearly all of them when the first, loven years expired. Now,v said they, "that benefits are maturing each month in the year and our membership is multiplying we shall have less occasion for the reserve, but shall continue to use it to reduce assessments whenever there is more in the sreasary than should he piled up in the way of surplas." The Order's Attorney. Mr. Newberger. of the firm of Morris. Newbnrger &. Curtis, who have been employed by the order to contest the application, sard to a reporter yesterday: "I consider an application for a receiver on the statements in tbo petition a very unusual proceeding. There is a provision in toe constitution and by-laws of the order for removal of An officer, and if he fails to perform bis duties as defined by toe constitution and by-laws, the proper remedy is injunction proceedings to prevent the commission of unlawful acts." He said: Yoa may say forme that it would be an anomaly it' a corporation can be wiped out of existence on acconntof tho incompetence of an oflicer. As to the truth of the charges made against Mr. Somerby 1 know nothing, and will let him epeuk lor himselt as to that part of tho petition. Hois not in tho city at present, but has been telegraphed lor, ana will be here in a few days.'' Declines to 3Iake a Statement. . Mr. M. C. Davis, who is supreme cashier and has had charge of the treasury ever since the foundation - of the order, was at the Iron Hall building yesterday afternoon and said, concerning the application for a receiver: "I don't know anything About the complaint or its contents, except the fact that one is filed against the ofticers of the order. 1 don't even know who the plaintiff is, as 1 only heard that inch A paper bad been filed about one hour aiio. and in the meantime have seen our attorneys. Through their advico 1 decline to make any statement for publication concerning the condition of the order. When the proper time comes all I have to .iy will appear in evidence, and nothing will be dauied nr concealed. 1 have telegraphed Mr. 8omerby about .the matter and wo expect bim hero at an early date." fndlsna Member. M. C. Davis, cashier of the order, says that the membership in this State is not tnoro thad iifieen hundred, and that about pne thousand' ot these are located in thua city.

THE TALK THAT WINS VOTES
Governor McKmley Enlightens a Wisconsin Assembly on the Tariff. Fifteen Thocsani I'eople l isten to the Exponent or Pndec ion Hamty Announces liiiCcmuiitns iilverites Wrangling. Madison, Wis., July 20.-Ex-Govcrnor St. John, of Kansas; Governor McKinley, of Ohio, and W, C. Warner, of the Now York Tar ill Keform Club, delivered addresses at the Monona lake Assembly today. Henry Watterson. who was announced as one of the speakers, was taken ill at Chicago and could not bo present. Mr. rjt. John addressed hundreds of Prohibitionists in the morning. He. said: "In l&C!, when, under Democratic and liupublicnn rule, our government went into partnership with the liquor traffic, the amount of intoxicating liquors consumed equaled but two gallons and 50100 per capita of the population. From that timo until 1801, uuder the fostering care . of these two old parties, the consumption continued to grow nntil it now equals liftecn gallons and 57100 for each man. woman and child in the United States. The question 1 propound to you Democrats and Republican is this: How long will it take to get rid of this home and soal-doatroying evil at this rate!" When Governor McKinley aroso to speak this afternoon he faced an audience of liftcen thousand people. He said he was not present to ropresent the Republican party or to discuss the taritl' in a partisan way, bnt to present in plain language the creat business questions of the day. He knew of no subject so dull, he said, as taxation. "If wo had tho power to do away with it altogether it would bo tho policy of the Republicans and Democrats alike." said he, "but so long as we have a government we must have revenue. We can secure that revenue in only one way and that is by the government invoking tho constitutional power of taxation upon its own people and the taxation of other people seeking a market in the United states. It requires in this country . nearly 4(0,0CU.U00 every year to pay the expenses of the federal governmentmore than a million dollars every twenty-four hours. This is what makes the subiect under discussion of importunce, and that is why the citizens of this and other States are to determine what system of taxation shall raise that million dollars required every day to prevent the wheels of this government from' being clogoed. You can do it in one of the ways of the Constitution of tho United States, by dinct taxation, or you can doit by tariff taxation. Von can do it by taxing yourself, your lajid, your goods, your investments, your labor, your property, real or personal, and yon cau do it by taxing the product of every people of the world seeking a market in the Unitod States. How will you do itT The Democratic leaders of to-day seem to look to direct taxation, or the system of Henry George, to put tho single taxes on lands to raise the nearly MOO.OJO.000 required annually for public purposes. The trouble with the free-trader is, he never particularizes, for when he does he is lost." Other speakers, he said, held that consumptions must be taxed, also the wealth of the country, the lands and tho property. If that was literally interpreted it meant direct taxation. "Why," said he, referring to the Democratic taritl' policy, "What is taritl retorm any wayf Cleveland said several years nco that he knew nothing about tho tariff. From tho date of that utterance down to the present time he has given no evidence of having increased his original store of knowledge of economics. In his Madison square speech ho told his auditors naught to show what had brought enlightenment to his mind. And the 15J majority in Congress; what definition has it given of the term tariff reform? Why, it has passed a bill to untax wool for the sole benefit of tho Kew England manufacturer and the injury of all farmers, while leaving the duty orf all the woolen articles that man is called upon to wear. Yes. and it has passed a bill to lift tho taritl on cotton tes. That is taritl' reform. ' This is the taritl' policy of the Democratic party. It might better be called no policy at all. for it obviously represents a system and can produce no good or uniform rtsult." The speaker then dwelt on tbo disadvantage of the direct-tax system and Quoted Jefferson and Madison as earnest opponents of it in a timo of peace. In closing he said that the United States had thirty years of protection and the country has improved its financial position so tbat it is unrivaled among nations, and -X),C(X.(00 of the public debt has been paid. Thirty years ago oo per cent, of the hardware of the country was of English make, bnt now 95 per cent, is American. The Democratic revenue tariff is always paid by the consumer, and the foreigner fixes the price to the American consumer and cbarges to it their tax. The taritl' of free trado has nothing to do with strikes or lockouts. It has nothing to do with ditlerences between employers and employes. If the Democrat win in the fall it will set the country back Jwenty-hve years. He accused the Democratic Congress of defeating the world's fair bill nnd of doing nothing for the benefit of the country. He jaid a protective tariff was the true ideal for a nation like the United States. IIarntj. Abt-de-Cauips. New York, July 29. After several days of deliberation and conference with Messrs. Calvin .

Wall of Wisconsin, Jbsiah Qtilncy of Massachusetts, William P. llarrlty of Pennsylvania. Chairman Harrity, when seen to-day, said: "1 am verv much encouraged by the manner in which the leading and representative Democrats of the country are coming to my support. Whatever ditlercnces mny have existed prior to the Chicago convention, they have disappeared. All seem now disposed to lend every effort and to bend evrry energy to win success in November. The letters and iWu rams from the leaders of the party are of the most cordial character. They all say, in eflect, Tiace me where I can do the most good and I will give my best servievs.' "It look to me as if we are to have a thorough organizntiou of aunited, harmonious, aggressive and enthusiastic pirty. The present outlook is exceedingly k ratifying." Mr. Harrity will not select the members of the advi&ory committee nntil alter the meeting of the campaign committee.

Said Representative Albert J. Hopkins, of Aurora, lib, who has longknown "General" Adlai Stevenson, of lUooruington, when . asked if he thought Stevenson's namo would add strength to the Democratie ticket m Illinois and make that State doubtful: "Mr. Htevenson is a very pleasant man, but his acquaintance in the State is not extensive. It is largely local. Ho served a number of years ago a term or two in Congress without any special distinction and his only little fame if that term can be used is his service as First Assistant Postmaster-general under Cleveland, when he decapitated in an incredibly short space of timo nearly 50.0J0 Kepnblican postmasters. In my judgement his being on the ticket will not make a difference of fifty vote in Illinois. ( Now . if Mr. Stevenson had been a soldier some reason would exist for the Democratic soldiers in Illinois voting the Democratic national ticket. Yon can see, however, tnat with a man at tho head of the ticket who hired a substitute and vetoed more pension bills than all the other occupants of the presidential chair puttogether, and with the remaining candidate a man who never served in the war and who was certainly in sympathy with, if not actually a member of the Knights of tho Golden Circle, there is no reason why a single soldier vote in Illinois should be given to the Democratic ticket next fall.7' Northern SiAtes Will Go Kepublloan N ew Youk, Jnly 29. Col. Thomas Lowry, of Minneapolis, was at the Fifth-avenue Hotel yesterday. He said that the 6plit in the People's party in his State, which had resulted in the nomination of two tickets by those who had formerly been allied with Ignatius Donnelly, would prevent the People's party from becoming dangerous to the republicans. How can the Republicans support Knute Nelson for Governor in view of his support of tho Mills bill in tho Fiftieth Congress!" Mr. Lowry was asked. "Oh, he went on tho stump and explained himself satisfactorily two years ago1 answered the Colonel. What is the probability that some of the Northwestern States will be carried by the Democrats?" he wa asked. I don't believe they will carry any, with the exception of Wisconsin, and that is a little doubtful." SUverltes May Split. Denver. Col., Jnly 29. Tho silver party had a warm time to-day oyer the question of indorsing the ticket nominated by tho People's party yesterday. The Rocky Mountain News, which the day after tho Chicago convention refused to support Cleveland, and since the Omaha convention has supported Weaver, to-day flatly refused to support Waite, the fusion candidate for Governor. So when the silver men met this morning a right was on. Late in the afternoon delegate George moved to indorse only the People's party presidential electors.' This was lost, nnd alter further discussion the entire ticket was indorsed, 115 to 1G being tho vote. Twenty-tive of the votesjwere those of freesilver men. The minority is dissatisfied, and tbo result will doubtless be the withdrawal from the People's party. Will Test Another Gerrymander. Madison, Wis., July 29. It is stated that the constitutionality of the recent Democratic apportionment will be tested in the Supreme Court in August The papers, which are to bo served on Attorney -general O'Connor Saturday, will be in thegform of a petition signed by some private citizen, asking the Attorney-general to institute the action, and of course if the Attorneygeneral refuses the action can be brought in tho name of the private citizen himself.

Uy its revival of activities in every direction it has given profitable employment and certainty to all classes of the people.

Tho beneficial effect rbich the entrance upon these new and broader industrial tields will have in quickening tho national life nnd broadening tho national experience cannot be measured by tho mini which tho establishment of thesjB industries will add to the national income. The declared purpose of the Democratic party to repeal this act immediately npon their return to power is certain to provoke lively opposition to their political restoration. We can await the result -of this contest with calm confidence. The plain people of the United States have too much good senso and discernment to mistake pretentious platitudes for philosophy. They are not likely to exchatiXH the certainty of satisfactory earnings and saving, of constant employment and comforTahle homes for Democratic promises of a millennium that is to follow revolution.

HATE 'TO TAKE .GLADSTONE
British Tories Will Try to Induce tho Queen and Sallshurj to Fight. Irish Members Will II aye Nothirsr Intercept the Home Role Pol cy Premier Spoken of as Failing Rapidly and Needing Kest CCopjright, 1892 by the New York Associated Press. , London, July 29. When the members of the Cabinet separated yesterday it was practically decided that the Queen's speech from the throne at the opening of tbe new Parliament would be limited to a blank intimation that Parliament had not met for tbe transaction of business. The militant section of the Conservative party who want to combat the opposition a 1' ontrance, feel thoroughly exasperated at the abandonment of what they believe to bo a strong position, both for offense and defense. Lord Salisbury is to visit the Queen on Monday previously to the final Cabinet council for tbe consideration of the exact form 'of tbe speech from the throne. Powerful influences will in tho interval be brought to bear on the Queen and Cabinet ministers alike to-day toinduco Lord Salisbury to adopt a bolder policy. A proposal which is Gliding largo acceptauco at tbe Carlton Club is that tho government open Parliament by announcing tbe introduction of the franchise reform bill, Including such a redistribution of seats as will correct the present abnormal system of representation. The . Conservatives having no reason to fear a "one man, one vote1' measure, if accompanied by redistribution on the principle of equal electoral districts, or taxation and representation goiog together, are now fiercely alivo to tho fact that the Salisbury government lias weakly lost a chance to carry a redistribution bill favorable to tbe party. The "one man, one vote" measure, when passed, will a fleet 200,(00 votes, throwing them cbieily on the Liberal side. A redistribution of seats based npon recognized Liberal principles would increase the number of English members by about 140, mostly Conservatives, and the Scotch by twenty and would reduce the Irish representation by twenty members. It is just barely possible that Lord Salisbury will yet be pursuaded to throw down the glove beforo the opposlton. If he does o it will inspire tbe Unionists with rampant conrage and enthusiasm, which they have never vet shown. Conservative whips who were consulted on the question of procedure yesterday stated that it was perfectly competent for Parl;ament to proceed to the transaction of busiutss without a speech from the throne. It is a fact tbat tbe House of Commons can dispense with tbe speech if it so choose. In order to assert the historic right to do without the speech from the turone 6omo bill is always read tle first time in oacb bouse beforo the speech. .Still the unbroken tradition is that Parliament requires some form of a speech. The Irish party is not entirely reassured, in spite or Liberal declarations, tbe t home rule will be expedited, and until Mr. Gladstone adds the aesorance of au immediate dissolution of Parliament if tho House of Lords rejects tho bill a suspicion will haunt them that they will be used to carry the Newcastle proaamme and then thrown aside. Both McCarthyites and Parnellites are possessed of an idea that if Mr. Gladstone, after passing the "one man. one vote." and other measures of the Newcastle programme, went to the country and got a British working majority, homo rule would become smoke. Now having him on the hip. they will throw him unlejs he makes home rule bis first and final. Some very curious stories oirculate in Richmond concerning the state of health of a certain royal lady, whose name is very familiar to the multitude.

ICISI'UIiLICMN POLICY. A Concise Stalrment cr Some of tl.e Keneflts ltrultin;r Therefrom. From SpMh of lIo. t II. Grosvrnrr at AtLenp. O. , Tht dollar of the laboriDg man has greater purchasing power in supplying the commodities lor the use of the family to-day than it had at any other period of the history othis country, and the former bushel of wheat has a like ellect as a purchasing power. Tho best paid labor of the world is the labor of the American worklngman. The workingmen of the United States own a thousand bomes. free of debt, where the Europertti workingman owns one. The American workingmen have $10 m the savings oanks of th country where tho European workincmi'n have one cent. The highest wages paid on earth for ekilled or unskilled labor is . paid to the workingmen of the United States. Tho best-fed. and best-clothed, and besteducated workingmen on earth are in the United States. Thoro is less ignorancoand moro knowledge among the American workingmen than among the workingmen of all the world beside. The distribution of the proceeds of industrial pursuits is made with greater generosity to the laboring man of the United States than anywhere else in the world. There are moro prosperous people in the United States than anywhere else on earth, and there are fewer paupers. There aro ten paupers in a like population in England to one in the United States. It is not true that American workingmen are growing poorer, but it is true that they are growing richer. The best protected agricultural industry on earth is that of the American farmer. There is no country in the world where the farmer is as well fed. well edncated, well housed, and as luxuriously furnished with all the appliances and luxuries of life as in the United States. While it is true tbat farm products are. not selling at exorbitant prices, it is equally true that the price of a bushel of wheat today will buy more of the ordinary manufactured goods that the farmer uses than in any other period of the history of agriculture in America. The government has done more for the farmer during the last four years than was overdone by the government in alike period, or in ten times the length of time. No country ever grew in wealth, intelligence, virtue and general prosperity in a ratio of one-fourth what the United States has grown in the last twenty-tive years. Its progress has been without paralled in the history of the peoples of the world. The issue presented iu tbe contest before ns is a plain and simple one. It is the proposition of the Democratic- party to revolutionize this entire system. The value and results of the one we have they cannot deny or gainsay. We have cheapened commodities by assuring our manufacturers the American market, and assuring them against the ruinous competition of foreign manufacturers; and this certainty, this assurance, has stimulated ambitious men. stimulated production nntil we have reduced the cost of these articles to the farmer, the laboring roan and the mechanic. The best goods and the cheapest goods in the world are American goods. We are to abandon this system to remove the barrier to competition, and inaugurate a system by which tbe commoditiesof the foreign manufacturers with their low-priced labor, are to crowd in the markets of the country the products of the well-paid labor of the people of the United States. . The Care of the Ejes.. Harper's Bazar. x Not long ago an advertisement was read in which an optician promised to examine the eyes of all who came to bim free of charge, and to provide glasses for tbe same at moderate rates. The object of this free examination was evidently to provide customers for the sale of the glasses and spectacles. The advertiser may have been a skilled oculist and perfectly able to provide for the needs of his patients, butis it worth while to make the experiment? Any one who has ever been threatened with blindness will protest asamst running any risk in the treatment of tho eyes. Sight is the most blessed of all the five physical senses. Blindness, or the thonght of blindness, seems like a living death, and only those who have experienced the fear can understand it. Do not take any risks with your sight. Do not experiment or allow others to experiment with your eyes if they are weak or failing. Economy of money at the risk of losing your eyesight is foolishness. The eye ia one of the most delicate of organs and easily mined and the sight destroyed. There is no excuse for negligence in the matter; there is no use to try homo or cheap remedies. If your sight is failing, if your eyes are out of order, hesitato not for a moment, bnt Consult a competent ocnlist at once, and seek pone but tho best. Sieht is too valuable and precious to be trilled with. Those who have suffered will tell tou the misery entailed. There are hospitals where the eyes are treated lreo in many cities by tbe best oculists. 60 it is not a question of nioney. And the warning cannot be repeated too often: Do not trifle with yonr eyesight under any consideration. A Successful President. Hon. Charles II. Orosvenor &t Aiders, O. No President of the United States has achieved greater success than has Benjamin Harrison. He has set an example of a pure and upright life before the American people. He has ben patient, industrious, untiring, energetic in the discharge of the manifold duties of his great otiice. He himselt a lawverof toe bineot ability, he has etiosen to the great place of the judiciary men of the highest integrity and the izreat-st learning. He ban fillMt the odices of the country with tho best and wisest of our statesmen and citizma. I do not say that he in the greatest President the United States ever md; but I do say that the United Mates neterliad a better Pit-eidc'iit. A typical American, a repr-ccntatie of the highest development of Auif rienn haracter. xpount of the underlying viMl principles ot the American Nation. The election ot this soldierHtatesman, this i-lear-headed. indomitable citizen, this wise and conscientious ruler, to a second term will be recognized as a settlement of tho vexed question winch we havudisctisscd. It will be uuderMood as the establishment for all time of the policy of protection, not ouly for the purposes of revenue, but for the purpose that was originally intended by the frmners of the Lonstitntion protection to American capital.
