I did tell you at eprintrncld that, alter mature reflection, I bad determined to vote for Mr. Cleveland this fall, because I agree in the main with Lis views on the tariff, and did not believe In the principles embodied in the McKlDley bUL I adhere to that determination, and have said nothing indicating a cnanire of purpose. It Is not true that with ray knowledge or consent tho President was asked to appoint me to any orhre. It Is not true that I requested any one to do anything to obtain the l'.epubllcan nomination this year, it is not true that I voted for Mr. Cleveland in 19!. 1 voted the Iiepubllcaa ticket at every rresldeuti?! election since the party was organized, except in when I was cot able to go to the polls. The Republicans were . pledged to a reduction of the war tarilf lonjf oelore 158, and during tho campaign of that year the piedgo was renewed with emphasis attain and agaiu. Instead of keeping that promise the McKlnley bill was passed. Imposing still higher duties. It was passed in the interest of favored clashes, and not for the beuetlt of the whole people. It neither enhanced the price of farm products nor benefited labor. Wages aro and ever will be regulated by supply and demand. Duties were iruiosed on some articles so high as to destroy competition and foster trusts and monopolies. I think you will acreo with we that this was an abandonment of the doctrine of nioderato Incidental protection The tariff is now the most important question before the people, and whatever others insy do, I shall exercise the riht ot Individual judgment and vote according to my convictions. I thlitk with you that a Republican can vote for Mr. Cleveland without joining the Democratic party. Iiow I shall vote in the future will depend upon the questions at issue. Very truly yours, W. Q.

Delegates Want Republicans Fired from Their Chicago Temple. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ffl Denver, Col., Nor. 1. A woman's contention without a row would, of course, bo novelty, and the trouble in the W. C. T. U. convention this afternoon originated over tho report on "the temple" by Mrs. ' Corse, president of tho Temple Association. And it all camo about because room in tho templo at Chicago had been rented to the Republicans for headquarters. The Southern delegates were of tho opinion that tho templo could bo put to better nso than to bo turned into a recruiting iplace forapolitical party, and especially the Republican party, and they made some very cutting remarks. There were a few women in the convention, however, who were Republicans, and they resented the imputation east on the party. The following was adopted: Your committee, recognizing that the National Woman's Christian Union has, aa yet. no legal control of the temple in Chicago, which is under separate corporation, and has no Jurisdiction, therefore, in the renting of the same, still believes it Incumbent on this committee to make Ihe following declarations: Whereas, The national constituency of the ' Woman's Christian Union has stood back of the tuil'ling of the temple at Chlcaco with Its money, influence and prayers until It is hold as acred to the great reform represented by this organization, and. Whereas, The world outside believes this temnle, and especially the Willard Hall, to be under our control and hold us morally responsible for tho use made of the assembly-room that lars the name of our national president; therefore, be it Resolved. That we hereby express our amazement and sorrow, and record our united protest that the first meetings held within Its walls should be the campaign allies of apolitical party whoso policy and principle regarding the liquor tralilc are utterly opposed to tho spirit and purI osc of this organization. But we. rejoice that he explanation whioh was oll'ered In tho convention and accepted give us assurance that the same will not be repeated. When peace finally reigned the report was proceeded with. It was shown by the booka of the temple committee that the rents for six months aggregated $150,000. and would probably exceed that amount hereafter. 4Therewas no doubt, Mrs. Corse laid, that the company 'would be ablo to it'cute and hold tho building.

FEDERAL LAW IS SUPREME

&V Cleveland Decided When Ho Appointed Election Supervisors in 188G. The Democratic President's Instructions toMr. Garland Quoted in a Circular Issued by Attorney-General Miller. Duties and Powers of Uncle Sam's Officers at Poll'ins Places Defined. Plain Inftrnction3 from Mr. Miller to SuperYifprs, MarshalI)TUties cnt United Statej Attorneys That Cannot Be Ignored. Washington, Nov. 1. Attorney-general Miller has issued a circular to United States supervisors of elections, United States marshals and United States attorneys, in all parts of the United States, in regard to their duties at the coming election. At the outset, Mr. Miller refers to the fact that, on Oct 5, 1S86, President Cleveland addressed to Attorney-general Garland a communication thus: Dear 6r You are hereby requested to take general chance and direction of the execution of the statutes of toe United (states touching the appointment of supervisors of elections and special deputy marbals, and the performance of their duties and their compensation, so far a these subjects are 1V the Constitution nml laws under toe supervision and control of the executive branch of the government. ' Mr. Miller then says that he believes the authority thus given to his predecessor is general and has never been revoked. The Attorney-general then embodies in his manifesto a letter of Mr. C. M. Dennison, chief supervisor of elections for the North ern district of New York, under date of Oct. 18, 1892, in which he DennisonJ issued instructions for tho guidance ot depnty marshals and ' incidentally of supervisors. Tho Dennison letter is clearly in response to inquiry from one of his subordinates,. and in the letter, which Mr. Miller quotes for the purpose of indorsing its provisions, occurs the following: Sir I am in receipt of your letter of the 11th int, asking It the special depnty marshals have a rlht to he inside the place of registration during tho progress of registration, and whether they can be ln?ido the polling-place on election day, outside of the guard-ralL The question raised by yon is settled by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United Htates in ex parte Albert trlebert, Walter Tucker, Martin C Burns, Lewis Colsman and Henry Bower, reported in 10 Otto, 371. The case was heard on the petition ot Slebold and others for habeas corpus. The petitioners were Judges of election at different votinic precincts in the city of Baltimore, at an election held in November, 1878, at which Representatives in Con press were voted for. They were indicted and tried in the Circuit Court of the United States for alleged offenses committed by them whilo acting as judges of such election; were tried, convicted and sentenced to tine and Imprisonment. They applied t,o the Supreme Court for a writ of habeas corpus to be. relieved from imprisonment on the Kround that the federal election law was unconstitutional. Bowers was convicted on a count in tho indictment charging him with unlawfully obstructing, hindering, interfering with and preventing a supervisor of election from performing his duty, to-wlt: "That of personally inspecting and scrutinizing, at the beginning of said dayot election, and ot the said election, the manner In which the votingwas done at the said poll of election, by examining and seeing whether the r-ullot first voted at said poll of election was put and placed in the ballotbox containing no ballots whatever. Tucker was convicted on a count in the indictment charging that ho unlawfully prevented and hindered the free attendance and presence of the special deputy marshal in the due execution of his ottice at the polls or said election, and the full and free access of the said deputy marshal to tho poll of the election. The other petitioners were convicted for others offenses against the federal election law. The section of the law on which the Indictments were founded and other section, tho va-; lidity of which was sought to be impeached tor unconstitutionality, aro Sections i'Oll, 'JOl'J, 2ult, 2017, 2021, 2022. and. in part. Sections 5514 and 5522. The decision of tho oourt was egalnst tho petitioners. .THE COURT'S DECISION. I will quote only such points decided by the court as are necessary to fully answer your inquiry. They are as follows: Congress had rower by the Constitution to pass the six sections referred to. b. In making regulations 'for the election of Representatives, it is not necessary that Congress should assume entire and exclusive control thereof. Congress has a supervisory power over the snhject, and may either make entirely new regulations or add to, alter or modify the regulations made by the State. i. In the exerclio of sucn supervisory power Congress may impose new duties on the otlicers of election, or additional penalties for breach of duty, or for the perpetration of fraud; or provide for the attendance of officers to prevent frauds and see that the elections are legally and fairly conducted. 11. There is nothing in the relation of the State and national sovereignities to preclude the cooperation of both in the matter of elections of Representatives. If both were equal in authority over the subject, collisions ot Jurisdiction might ensue: but tho authority of the national government being paramount collisions can only occur from unfounded jealousy of such authority. 12. Congress had power by the Constitution to vest In the Circuit Court tho appointment of supervisors of election. 13. The provisions which authorized the deputy marshals to keep tho peace at the elections is not unconstitutional. The national government has the right to use physical force in any part of the United States to compel obedience to Its laws and to carry Into execution the powers conferred on it by the Constitution. Section 2022 requires that the marshal and his general and special deputies shall preservo order at places of registration and at the polls, support and protect the supervisors of election and prevent fraudulent registration and fraudulent voting. or fraudulent conduct on the part of any oncer of election, and it must necessarily follow that the marshal and his general special deputies have right, and it is their duty to be and remain in nil places where hey can het discharge their duties, whether such places be Inside or outside the guard rail, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 101, Chapter GSO, laws of tho State of hew York. 18U2, regulating the number of persona who are to be admitted withlu the guard rail on election day. The provisions of the federal election laws are in force whenever a Representative in Cougress Is vcted for, ami whenever any of the provisions of tho federal law are in conflict with the State statutes the federal statutes must be followed. THE ATTOUNEY-GKNKKAL'S IXSHtUCTlOXS. 't hus runs the Dennison letter, and. after quoting it as above. Attorney-general Miller continues: These instructions, in my opinion, embody correct views of the law. In addition to tho foregoing instructions I add the following: In the lauguage of the statute ot the United States statutes, taction 2.019, It is the duty of the supervisors, in tLelr respective election districts or voting precincts, to he present on the day of registration and on election day. to take, occupy aud remain In such position, from tlmo to time, whether heforo or behind the ballot-boxes. as will, in their Judgment. best enable them to see each person offering himseir for registration or ottering to vote, and as will best conduce to their M.'rutiiil.ing tho manner lu which tho registration or voting Is being conducted; and at the closing of ihe polls for the reception of votes, they are required to place themselves In such a position In relation to the ballotl oxes, for the purpose of engaging in the work of cauvascing the ballots as will enable- them to fully perform the duties in respect to such canvass provided herein, aud shall remain there nntll every duty in respect to such canvas certificate, returns and statements has been wholly com pie led. by n-ctloii 2,022 the depnty marshals are authorized lo arrest, without process, any person w ho commits or oiTnr to commit any of the acts or oih iines. prohibited herein, or who commits nny of.ea-e against the laws of the United Mates, but no pcraon shall be arrested without process for aur offense not committed In the prufeuce of the manual or one of hU general or special deputies or ouo of the . supervisors of election. Ami the supervisors have like power to make arrests. An attempt to Interfere with tho supervisors or deputy marshals In the proper discharge of their duties is a violation ot tho law, and subjects the rong-doer to severe penalty. 'Ihe duty and the authoilty ot the supervisors and the deputy marshals la tae premises are too plain to be misunderstood. Bearing in mind always that they are oflicers of the peace as well as officers of the election, and never forgetting that where the 8tate statute conflicts with the statute of the United btstns touching these elections, the national statute U paramount and must be obeyed, these oftlcers should g forward quietly but resolutely in toedUcharce of their duties, without learorlavor.bat with the Crm determination, so far as !n them lios under the law, to see that there 1 an Louest. free and fair election, and a , lair return and canvas f the voter. So dis

charging their duties, it is certain that they will

nut be resisted by any good citizen; and It is not believed that without the support of good citizens such reslstence will be made by any one. Of course all orheers will no expected to keen the expenses of supervisors and deputy marshals at the lowest point consistent with the proper discharge of their duties. In no case can a per diem be allowed them for more than ten days and in many, probably most cases, thlsmaximum number of days will be unnecessary. Respectfully, . LI. II. Milllr. Attorney-general. XO BASE-BALL WAK. President Young's Reasons for Relieving the East and West Wilt Not Fight. Washington, Nov. 1. "All talk about separate base-ball organizations in the Easi and West, respectively," said President Young, in an interview, is the sheerest nonsense, for a year, at least, and for reason which are readily apparent, First and foremost, the present twelve-club league is bonnd by the strongest of consid erationsindorsement of notes to pay the indebtedness inourred by the amalgamation of the National League and the American Association ot Professional Base ball Flayers. Instead of being ahead at the end of the season, as expected, as a matter of fact there is an apparent deficit of upward of 510,000. Upward of S'.o.uuu was assumed as a responsibility at the outset of this season, but the calculations as to receipts have not come up to expectations, and it is quite likely that some of our notes will have to be renewed. After we have disposed of all important questions of finance, a proposition may be made to benefit the national game by having Eastern and Western associations, but there is no immediate prospect of such a thing. In any event there will never be a war between the East and West, as predicted, and for a very good reason. Heretofore representatives of the American Association and the National League have been at swords' points because they. were not acquainted with each other and the methods of doing business. Charges were made on both sides of unfair dealing and discrimination, but just as soon as the magnates of the organizations came together and understood each other, all bickerings and disputes were ended. Now they are united in building np base-base and will do everything that lies in their power to bring about such a result. An evidence of this is being shown in their willingness to meet all obligations incurred heretofore. No one who has read about or witnessed thechampTonshm games between Ucston and Cleveland will feel justified in saying that baseball interest is deolining. At Cleveland upward of sixteen thousand spectator witnessed the series of games played in that city, and the first game at Boston attracted rive thousand spectators." Good Sport at West-Side Park.

Judge Collins this afternoon denied a petition of the Garfield Park Clnb for an injunotion restraining the Chicago police from interfering with its West-side track. This, it is said, is the final blow to the track. The decision, anparently, will be fatal to the Hawthorne track as well as Uarlield. The Illinois law of lb87, providing that pool-selling is legal if carried on within regular race-track in closures, is emphatically declared to be nn constitutional. If sustained by the hupreme Court Judgo Collins s decision seems to mean the closing of every track in Iliinoi".

Mr. Washburn and Mr. Ilatcheller Will Not Return to Switzerland and Portngal. Washington. Nov. 1. A dispatch from Worcester, Mass., says: "Hon. John D. Washburn, of this city, Envoy Extraor dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to Switzerland, has sent in his resignation 'to the President, dating his letter Oct, 29. This is in pnrsu anceof a determination expressed some time ago. when he asked for a leave of ab sence and returned to this city. He was appointed to the post March 11. 1889. His reasons for resigning are of a business nature." While the Department of State has not yet received the resignation of Mr. Wash burn, it is expected soon. Mr. uaehbnrn has been in ill health all snnmier. Geo. S. Batcneller to-day called at the Department of IState and tendered to Sesretary roster his resignation of the office of United States minister to Portnsal. which was accented.

The Post save: Ex-Secretary Blaine is likely to employ his leisure time in writing another book. He seems to be enjoying himself much bet ter since his retnrn to life as a private citizen than as Secretary of State. He is out every day in tho bracing autumn air and sometimes three or four times a day. He nearly always walks, and in the majority of cases goes alone. Sometimes, however. Mrs. Blaine or Miss Hattie ltlaine goes with him, when he keeps his walk within moderate limit. He is doing everything possible, without calling in the doctor, to promote health and strength. Mr. Blaine has been hesitating whether to write a book on the line of his "Twenty Years in Congress" or to write some personal memoirs. Patents Granted Indlanlana.

IJruve Ganner Promoted, New Yokk, Not. 1. H. A. Filers, gunner's mate on the United State cruiser

Philadelphia, has been discharged from that vessel and from the navy, in order that be may accent an appointment as acting gunner in the navy. Filers is the seaman who remained at'his post in the magazine and put out the tire caused by a number of slow-bnrning powder grains which were blown through the screens and down into the magazine passage bv a premature discharge on deck. The accident hapnened during the sham attack on Fort McHenry, near Baltimore. Sept. 7. The recommendation for appointment as a warrant otticer is a good one. The appointment as gunner carries a salary of Sl.'X) at sea and $1MX) on shore duty, with a regular increase every three years to twelve years from date of appointment, when the salary is 1,S00 at sea and 81,600 on shore duty.

PRIVATE IAMB'S OFFENSE Colonels Stroator and Hawkins Testify at Pittsbnrs in Their Own Behalf. Both Thoueht the Punishment Neccsarj to Maintain Discipline Men Shot for hes Cause, the Brigade Comnander Says. nPiTTSBUKG. Nov. 1.' The court-room was not very wnll filled this morning when Judge Porter took the bench in the lams case. The hrst witness was private W. W. Hummell, of Company K, Sixteenth regiment. He was examined by Mr. Watson. He said that he tented with. lams. His evidence supported that already given as to the banging np of lams in the 11 y tent. Three or four hours alterward he saw the prosecutor reclining in the gaard tent.' lams was very pale. Ho described the drumming out of camp. Lieutenant Worley was then called. He said he was in the tent when Colonel btreator . said that he knew the man who called out: "Three cheers for the man who shot Prick." Witness thought that the Colonel said ench conduct would subvert discipline and prejudice the regiment in the eyes of the publio. This closed the case for the Commonwealth. Ex-Senator Kobbins, quartermaster of the Tenth Kegtment, then addressed the jury. He said he had nothing to conceal, nothing to deny, and was accused of nothing. Colonel Hawkins was made commander of the Third Provisional Brigade, and was for the time acting as a general, and had nothing to do with the Tenth Kegiment. Attorney Kobbins said the defense would prove that lams made himself sick while hanging by the thumbs bv swallowing tobacco. Notwithstanding Colonol Streator had pointed out with fatherly solicitude the enormity of the crime, lams was defiant and was deli ant still. No injury was inflicted by the punishment, which was a common one in tho army. If an othcer can be convicted for a punishment that is reasonable and without malice, the National Gnard will be disorganized before another sitting of the court. Chief Deputy Sheriil Gray was the first witness sworn. .He described the state of the town before the . riot and the disorder previous .to '. the arrival of the troops. A certified copy of the Governor's order calling the guard was then submitted,- but was objected to by the counsel for prosecution on the ground that the Governor had no authority to call out the troops to help the' sheriff mii n tain order. The obection was overruled by the court. In the afternoon Col. J. B. K. Streator, one of the defendants, was called to the stand. He stated that the Tenth Kegiment, Of which be was m command on the2dof last July, maintained guards and pickets .as in case of war. An aid came to his tent on 1 the afternoon of that day and announced that Mr. Frick had been shot. The 'Witness then gave orders that the regiment be gotteu in readiness to move, if necessary, and informed some of his soldiers near by of what had occurred. Shortly afterwards he heard some one cry, ''Three cheers for the man who shot Frick.1- Tne witness sent for three members of bis regiment who were close at hand, and asked them who had cheered the assassin of Mr. Frick. They said it was the man who on the day previous had been "carrying a log." Ttfe witn6ss then ordered tha companies assembled, and on the troops falling in he said to them that he thought he knew the guilty person, but he wauted the man to speak for himself as he did not think he meant it. lama then confessed he did it. Witness asked Jams why he bad said such a thing, and that surely he did not want to voice the sentiments of an assassin, -lams replied: "I did it because I did not like Frick." He was then sent to the guardhouse, lams had -previously been sentenced to carry a log as punishment for desertion from gnara duty. Witness then conferred with Colonel Hawkins - as to the ounishment to be inflicted and the 1 hanging by the thumbs was then decided on. Witness instructed Dr. Net! that lams was to be cnt down whenever the physician directed, and be especially said that no physical injury was to be permitted. The doctor said tbt lams was sick from chewing tobacco, whereupon he was cut down. The case was then formally reported to Col. Hawkins, brigade commander. Witness ordered Iams's head shaved, and that he be drummed out of camp. The purpose of the punishment, witness said, was to prevent the recurrence of such a breach of discipline. Colonel Hawkins was. next called. His version of the occurrences on July 23 and 24 did not dirler materially from Colonel Streator's. The latter had said to witness he was sorry the trouble had occurred, owing to former difficulty in that company. In witness's opinion the modo of punishment was proper. In the late war, ho said, he bad seen much more severe punishment for lighter otlenses, lams' often se, he said, was mutiny, aud he bad seen men shot dead for that. Colonel Streator's action was in accordance with United States army customs. Attorney lams, in cross-examination, asked: "Why was x-private lams not given a dischargo paper!" K Colonel Hawkins It was not needed. The official order was all that was necessary. Attorney lams The National Guard act provides for a discharge, and this question is to show malice in not giving him one. I see in one of your reports you call Mr. Frick a law-abiding citizen. Where did yon get that information 7 M knew that ho was not in jail or locked up, and that was my reason for so stating,' replied Col. Hawkins. Court here adjourned. ' Horrible Deed of a Supposed Madman. Dublin. Nov. 1. A horrible crime was committed last night in the Royal Irish constabulary barracks at Ballinadrina, County Kildare. Constable ' Pitkiugton seized, it is supposed, with a sadden tit of insanity, entered the bedroom where Sergeant Logan and his wife wero sleeping and shot them with a revolver, killing them jDstantly, The madman turned to the sleeping rooms of Logan's children and attacking them left them all for dead. Two were found to be dead, with their heads crushed in, three fatally injured and the remaining two seriously mjnred. Pitkington then tried to born the barracks.' but the alarm spread and, rinding himself discovered, he committed suicide. Sulnlrte of ft D(.pondent Striker. Braddocr, Pa., Nov. 1. Horatio Harris, of this place, twenty-fonr vp ars old. worked a hook in the blooniing-mlll at the Homestead plant prior to the strike. He went out with the rest, and ever since the company has resumed operations without settling the strike he has been very despondent. This evening he went upstairs, ostensibly to fix the fire in the room of a brother who boarded with him. As he stepped in the room be took a revolver from a bureau and shot himself through the head, dying m a few minates. The wife, who is in. a delicate condition, is crazed over the tragedy.

Special Correspondence of tae Journal.' London', Oct. 19. The two threatening elements in British politics are the labor and temperance movements. Both represent urgent causes, and it so happens that both reforms have reached simultaneously that critical time in their development when, in ordet to the proper adjustment of their attitude toward existing parties, the greatest prudence is necessary. A false step at this juncture might so irritate those who are inclined to help these movements, and who have already in numerous ways given proof of their good intentions, as to delay for years legislation which in other circumstances could be realized almost immediately. With regard to the labor movement, its policy up to a receut period has been to let parties alone, and to vote at parliamentary elections with special reference to men and measures. ItsdemsQds for advanced action have been pressed upon both parties, and the result of this course, as all must admit who are not unnecessarily impatient, has been highly satisfactory. Fveu the Tories have not been able to disregard all these demands; indeed, they came forward, with more or less heartiness, in tho last Parliament, and made a fairly respectable effort to crystallize some of them into law. But the workmgmen have found their best allies in the camp of the Liberals. These have surely done1 for labor all that has thus far seemed practicable, and while they may not have done hitherto everything it has agreed to ask. they are at least pledged to do these things in the future, and if properly eirconraged and supported, are undoubtedly upon the eve of bringing forward legislative and social reforms in behalf of the working classes of the country such as could hardly be enacted without their aid in the lifetime of the present generation. But the situation is critical, and it is the workingmen themselves who have made it so; or rather, to be exact, it is a section of this class, guided by impatient and ill-advised leaders, who have done this. There were signs of a revolt during the general election. In a number of constituencies men were put up as candidates on a socalled Independent Labor ticket. They had not the remotest expectation or the least chance of being elected. The only possible etlect their candidacy could haye was to defeat some one else who otherwise might have made a successful contest. Generally, too, the man defeated was one who would have supported advanced measures of working class reform, and tho fellow who was thus let in. one who by party tradition and personal predilections was committed to the opposite side of such questions. One incident of the late election will be as fresh in tho minds of Americans, who doubtless heard all about it at the time, as it is and long will be in the minds of progressive and well-balanced Englishmen. It whs pitiful and almost hearf sickening. What we refer to was when the Grand Old Man was compelled to halt in his Midlothian campaign,- staggering as he was under the burden of the Newcastle programme, that latest charter of the rights of the masses, for the purpose of remonstrating with workingmen, whose cause he had championed, against an ungrateful and foolhardy coarse the coarse above described which, as he well observed, could only help their enemies, and whioh was threatening to cripple the forces of their friends just at a moment when otherwise they would be ablo to do great things for them. AN ILL-ADVISED AGITATION. Since the election matters have assumed a still worse shape. No one doubts that in due time the new government will introduce radical measures of reform, but meanwhile the agitation for an Independent Labor party is making headway. At the trades' congress, in Glasgow, the "independent feature" of this movement took tangible shape in the form of an amendment to a motion which provided only for political action on lires which have been so successful in the past, aud by a bare majority of those voting the amendment was carried. Provision was also made at that representative gathering of trades-unions for the raising, by small contributions from workmen, of the sinews of war which will be needed. All this, spite of the fact that workingmen have made hardly any demand for politic.il action which their Liberal allies have not pledged themselves to support, and notwithstanding that, by the grace of Liberal votes, no less than fifteen labor representatives have seats in the present Parliament. What etlect such proceeding will have in alienating public sympathy, in dividing and disrupting trade societies, in wasting upon internecine strife energies which can ill be spared from the warfare against a common enemy, are things which time must be left to divulge. But no one surely can be surprised if the Liberal party, finding itself deserted and opposed by those whose cause it has taken up, should lose a measure of its ardor in their behalf, and in the Liberal press we find already not a few premonitions of such a change. One fact, however, casts a redeeming light upon the situation, and that is, that the older, cooler and wiser heads amongst labor reformers those who have hitherto held the reins, and who will not relinquish their leadership without a desperate tight are opposed to this new departure. They eee only evil in it They refuse to recognize the Independent Labor party as a representative of trades-unionism. It is only, in their view, the fad of a faction of iinpracticables. It is sure to come to naught, they tell us, but meanwhile, if sober second- thought should fail to strangle it in its infancy, what enormous mischief it may do in retarding the, progress of impending and practicable reforms. RKSULT OF PRUDENT MANAGEMENT. The temperance movement, we are happy to say, has been more prudently managed, aud hence the good cause it champions seems to have a more peaceful prospect before it. The only question now is whether the men who have promised to help it will keep their word. All that is asked at present is a local-option law. Under the existing regime the liquor trafOo seems to be as much of an institution as the church. Such great latitude has beeu allowed to this trade for long years, and so generally have the licensing justices sustained it by their action, that publicans have come to look npon themselves as persons of large vested interests, who can be rightfully displaced only when they are fully compensated in a plump sum of money for tho loss involved, it was thought for a long time that this view would be sustained by the higher courts, but these higher courts, not excepting even that highest court, the House of Lords, have torn this fallacy into shreds, and simultaneously a House of Commons has been elected, the majority of whose members are under pledtre to support a local-option measure, called here tho direct veto. As a matter of course, too, when the people of a district vote by a majority to get rid of tho open saloon in their midst, there is to be no thought of compensation to those thrown out of business by such a wholesome decision. This is how the, matter stands now. and it will interest Americana to be reminded that things have been brought to this hopeful status in drink-cursed England, where every reform moves slowly, and where temperance reform seemed not long ago to be ntterlv out of the question, bv the same coarse which has wrought such wonders hitherto in labor legislation; viz., by the judicious and persistent casting ot their votes by temperance reformers for those and those only, who, be their party what it might, would pledge themselves to do something practical at the earliest moment to lessen the evil of public drinkicg. For English temperance reformers to have started out for nothing snort of prohibition would have been to kill their cause before it had been given a hearing, mid to adopt prohibition as their one shibboleth would be equally disastrous At the present stage of this movement. There has been no attempt thus far to do this. The

They have sought what they believed they could get, and could afterwards bold. They have been compelled to proceed in this manner, because it has been evident all along that if they carried with them none but those holding extreme views, they would be powerless, owing to their small numbers, and that results could be obtained only as they bore with them in their slow but sure march the less radical of their class. It has been the custom over here for temperance societies to enroll into membership not only total abstainers, but those who believe that temperaice cousins in moderation; and these societies have followed the same lines in their political work. Relieving that a little restraint is better than none, and having foresight enough t to discern that each point gamed' would inevitably beoome a vantage ground for a. further advauce, and that thus the trend must always be toward the final suppression of this evil, thesedoughty English reformers have so managed their campaign as not to antagonize either of the great political parties, and the result to-day is that tho party in power has temperance votes enough to carry through a general local-option law, and is pledged to do this, while the other party looks on in anything but a bitterly hostile frame, and in cae of any temperance defection in the Liberal fold, stands ready, we have been assured, to oome to the rescue of such a measure with votes enough to pass it, A GHAT IFYING CONDITION, This means great things for old England, and to have brouizht matters to so happy a pass betokens great wisdom on the part of those who have managed this movement. These men aro so conscious of the backwardness of their country in this cause that they would be the last to set themselves up as models for other nations; their only claim is that they have done as it was best to do under the social and political conditiops obtaining in Great Britain, and in this claim they are surely more than justified by the results. To Sir Wilfrid Lawson belongs the chief credit. Hy ceaseless hammering in the most good natnred but determined way, he succeeded at length in breakingto his will the rook of an obstructive Parliament, and now, as is shown by their vote in the last election, he has broken down the prejudices and captured the judgment of a majority of the people. Men used to laugh at Sir Wilfrid, and they do so still: aud he has always been a great iaugher himself. For the smile of pity ho has ever been ready with a smile of good humored defiauce, and the curling lipof disdain he has met steadily by expressions of good natured determination. And now there is a general all round smile, exceptingon tho part of saloon-Keepers and their friends. Over the happy fact that after long waiting and wise working, and without any great political disturbance, the hour would eem to have struck lor a sweeping measure of reform. But there's many a slip twixt.cup and lip, and though it is hardly the, thing to talk: about cups when temperance people are under review, we cannot help adding that just now the political situation of the temperance movement is only a little less critical than that of the labor movement. The great question is as to whether Gladstone and his followers, with the help of what votes may be forthcoming from tho other side, will go forward, in a straight and swift course to the redemption ot their pledges. If this shall come to pass, the Grand Old Man will have crowned a grandly moral life by a grand measure of moral and social amelioration, and the party ho leads will, at the same time, have put the crown of honorable performance npon the many virtuous professions it has made. Otherwise there is danger that ardent prohibitionists will clamor for an independent party, and that in the outcome that which is immediately practicable will be thrown aside for the wearisome pursuit of what is ideal and remote. The writer is hopeful, however, that such a contingency as would temnt these English temperance men from the course they have so successfully pursued up to this time will not arise, and that the parliamentary action of but a few months hence will bo such as they have a right to expect. Hexiiy Tuck ley. Civil Service in Indiana Under Cleveland. T. C Crawford. The publication of the appointments and tbeir character in this State made a great storm. In spite of that, and in spite of Democratic protests against the publication of such matter in the World, 1 was permitted to to on and look into the appointments in Indiana. Here partisanship ruled entirely. The Civil service reform Association of Indiana, which had supportedtMr. Cleveland, gave me the result of their own investigations. This association had proceeded npon the theory that Mr. Cleveland was honest in Jiis desire to purify the civil service. They made a hht against the machine appointments. The postmaster at Indianapolis was a particularly odious selection. 1 hey laid the facts before the Man of Ilestiny, showing where this man bad used every channel of hia office lor local partisan pnrposes. But they were calmly ignored by the President, and so the association, after vainly trying to get him to correct the evils of the Democratic party management, gave np in despair and withdrew their support from the reform administration. It was at this interesting period that my personalinvestigation of Mr. Cleveland's appointments stopped. The editor of the World said that he could not afford to go any further. He had no idea that the appointments were so bad. bo long as be published a Democratic newspaper heconld not a fiord to go on and present to the public a complete history of the Cleveland administration. Boston Journal. Fresident Harrison's devotion to his dying wife has stricken dumb tho tongue of partisanship. Throughout the whole political campaign there have been notice, ably few personal attacks upon the chief executive. Of late there have been none, but there would have been few in any event, for Benjamin Harrison impresses his bitterest antagonists with a sense of his entire sincerity. It is seldom that one' hears him referred to except in terms of the highest respect. Itefnard to Print the Free-Trade Plank. XewYork Advertiser.

It is howling about the force bill. Ihe reason is obvious West Virginia is a protection State, just beginning to develop its resources. It is safe to place West Virginia in the Harrison column.

In that jear he was a Democrat, hh now. ana he did what he could to defeat Lincoln. If it is any pleasure to him to recall that fact he is welcome to it.
