hearty applause. lie warmed up as he proceeded, and spoke with a warmth that cod viuced his bearers that he meant every 'word that he said, and that what he eaid was bo. When he had linished, the applause lasted several minutes. . tom l. Johnson's remarks. The Hon. Carl Schurz next spoke, and then the Hon. T. L. Johnson, Congressman from Ohio, was introduced. He said: Tbo Democratic party has ben long ased to defeat. ow it faces tna responsibility of a weeplnc victory. Only party hoDty and party courasre can (mitle U safely. Iho real danger is not from without, but Irom within; xiot from open enemies. but from Halfhearted friends; not that wo may so too fast and too far in aboilslilr.i: protection, rmt that vre may not last anil tar cnouch. What the mas:4 demand of the Ieinocratio party is that it Lall conrorin practice to profession; that its action shall be as radical ax iu platform. It is not the people, but tho leaden, who now need education ou the tariff question. The people Indicated their wlil in the congressional election of IS'jo; they ajraln indicated it in Chleaco by Xorclnjr the nomination of Mr. Cleveland against the politicians, and a radical platform arainat a protectionist majority report. And ncain they nave joken and witti a Uetermination that will brook no delay. We must do oinething commensurate with our victory. A meat idea is aaln txfnuninir to move in American politics. The Democratic avalanche has started. It will rc nd the party that tries to play with it; it will erush whoever (eeks to block it way. What a ConTers can do is controlled by its organization. The will of the people will bo thwarted and the next Cone'ress paralyzed if we again put half-hearted rutfn in the lead. In oriranlzincr the new House let m remember that 'party honesty is party duty and rarty courage Is party expediency and put In the lead men who will not palter with protection. We need Hot fear the free-trader or the siDKlo-taxcr. The fejan whom the Democratic party has to fear in . its councils la tho sutrar-coated rotectlonlaL The quicker he sroes elsewhere te better. We need his room. The masses trtt.t honesty and love courage. They despite a trimleer and hate a coward. We should not be frightened by a deficit nor hampered by any supposed necessity of continuing the extravagance vl protectionist profligacy. or need we fear that the topie will not submit to direct taxation. W hat they will no longer submit to are the taxes on consumption, which throw the burden en those least able to bear it, MIIXS DEMANDS FREE TRADE. When Mr. Johnson eat down, the lion. Eoger Q. Mill, of Texas, iras introduced and spoke in substance as follows: You meet this evening as the faithful, zealous And tireless friends of commercial emancipation. You have been working hard, waiting; long and looking, anxiously for the coming of that day which was to herald a deliverance of the Union from bondage. Applause. While I rejoice with you in the great victory vrhicl we have achieved, iraniness requires nio to say that my joy is not unalloyed. To fitly discharge tho duties which have been imposed upon c. we must show the people of the (JnitedStates that we were honest in the declarations which we made in our convention, (honest in the declarations we made. in our newspapers, that we would give them a povernment of both branches of the legislative department, as well as of the executive, wblca would impose taxation for the single purpose of raising a sufheient revenue to support an honest government. Applause. 1 in proceeding to prepare, tne mcwuro which is to be sutiHtituted for the present law of taxation one subject mut stand prominent, overtopping and overshadowing all oiberit. That one is. that we must see that whatever measures of taxation we adopt shall not only not Impair the right of the American people to labor and to market the products of their labor, but to see that the employment of the labor of the whole 'country shall be a prime object of the Democratic patty when It prepares Its measure for adoption. (Applause.) Vou have got to take the prontbition oif tho importation of good coming to this country. In vrder that wo may Rive constant employment to the laborer in our manufacturing indutrles we must untax every material that enter into the manufacture, lcaue we have promised that we shall deal equally with the American people. I mean that we must follow a principle, no matter where that principle goes, if it - right. fApplame.1 We must abandon the specilo system of taxation that taxes ly quantity and blinds the ey of the taxvayers, and nobody can account for it except the rod 7 in whose lnterots the taxes lay. Tills is the work before us. my friends. The Democratic party has wisdom enough. It has too much prudence. Laughter. AH wo have to do, my friendu. is to follow our chief, support him loyally and stand by the promises that have been luaue to the people. And if we do this they will keep us In possession of the government for more than a generation. Applause. Tho next speaker introduced wasex-Gor. James K. Campbell, of Ohio, who said he was in favor 'of the boys who want the postoilices. beoanse. from the poUmaater at Confederate Cross-roads to Yen Cott in Is'ew York, 1 am in favor of puiting them -ell out. and putting in men who Toted iorGrover Cleveland." Applaue. Congressman lireckinridge. of Kentucky, next spoke, lie was followed by William J btcne, Governor-elect of Missouri. Sen-, tor Carlisle was the last .speaker, and "when he had concluded 1'iesident Anderson, after thanking, the audience for its attention; said good-night in behalf of the club. Mrs. Cleveland and party, who had occupied one of the boxes, withdrew at the close of Senator Mills's speech, and on her way to her carriage she was met by Hun. Carl Behorz, who had left his seat at the Veainniiig of the Texan's speech. He escorted the wife of the Presidentelect to the street, and, after her carriage had driven oil, returned to the banquoting hall.

ANYBODY TO BEAT 8TOCKIIRIDGE.H . v blisses of the Senatorial Fight In Michigan Farmer" Lure Candidscy. Dethoit. Dec. ia Tho light for the Unite! States secatnrship, which becomes vacant by the expiration of Senator StockLridee's term next March, is assuming an interesting phase. As the Republicans have a big majority in the Legislature, which will meet on the4tbof next January, (tbe contest is entirely within the ranks of that party. It is pretty well understood that Senator Stockbridgo has secured pledges Irom a majority of the Republicans in the State Legislature, and would be in a position, if a caucus were 2. eld on Monday next, to secure his renomjnation. His friends claim that ho has lifty-two votes pledged to him. There are about eighty-eight Kepoblicans in the Legislature, and it only needs sixty-seven otes on joint ballot to elect a Senator. It can, therefore, bo seen that if the action of ine caucus is to govern Mr. Stockbridgo vill have the lead. Kx-Cioveruor Lnoe is making a strong light for the place as the farmers' candidate. A conference was held in this city l'5tweu Luce and his managers, and as a result it is given out that the defeat of henator Stockbridgo is assured. It is asserted that twenty-two members have already pledged themselves to refuse to enter the cancus or abide by its decision. This MotiM nrevent the flection of Mr. Stocklridge on joint ballot. . Ex-Governor Luce has a strong backing among the prominent politicians in the State. The dark horses in the present senatorial race so far spoken of are Denton Hanchett, of Saginaw. General Cutcbfon, of Manistee, and J. llubbcll, of Houghton. The shibboleth is 'anybody to Veat Stockl-idge." Senator . Stockbndge'a lieutenants do not seciu to be worried over the present situation and assert that everything will come out in their favor. A dark hoiso for fcenator is a possibility. Kaua Popnliie Itnck Down. Topeka, Kan., Dec 10. The Topulite conference which has been in session here Las closed, and, contrary to all expectations, no radical measures were decided upon. It was given out yesterday that there might be trouble if the Republicans attempted to organize the House, but it is pow evident that no serious ditlicnlty will he experienced by the Republicans when the time comes to elect officers. "JefT' Hudson, Congressman-elect from the Third district, said: "We do not really expect to organize the House, although we insist that we have the moral right to do it. The I'eople's party is a reform party, and we will not do anything revolutionary." First Iliood for Montana Republicans. IIeixxa, Mont..

Kotlmsttt & Gatzert, one of the largest and -best; established wholesale jewelry bonses in the city, made an assignment for the benetit of creditors Xo the American Trust and Savings Bank. It is notcf rtain that the firm will be forced into absolute insolvency, but may tide over the present crisis and resume business. No statement of the assets and liabilities was filed with the assignment, but. so far as known, assets and liabilities are about 75,00 each. The assignment was canned by the linn's inability to meet some notes, which aggregate nearly 5 5,iXX). All of the notes are held by. Eastern merchant creditors, and are to secure the purchase price of largo amounts of merchandise. Nearly thirty thousand dollars' worth, of this paper is held by the Daeber Watchcase Company.

James Whitcomb RUfy, in the Forum. So we rind dialect, as a branch of literature, worthy of the nigh attention and employment of the greatest master in lettersnot the merest mountebank. Let no impious faddist, tben, assume its just interpretation. He' may know evervtblog else in the world, bnt not dialect, nor dialectic people, for both of which he has supreme contempt, which same, be sure, is heartily returned. Such a "superior" personage may even go among thee simple country people and abide indefinitely in the midst of them, yet their more righteous contempt never for oteiustunt permits them to be theirreal selves in his presenpe. In consequence, his most conscientious report of them, thoir ways, lives and interests is absolutely of no importance or valnoin the world. He never knew them, nor will he over know them. They are not his kind of people, any more thnu he is their kind of man: and their disappointment grieves us more than his. . f Many of the truly heroic ancestry of "our best people" grew nnuuestiouably dialect of east not alone in speech, but in every mental trait and personal address.

THE KOCK ISLAND STMKE

General Manager St. John Says All Bis Trains Are Canning Regularly, While Chief Rarnsej, of the Telegraphers, Sajs All the Freight Yards Are Blockaded Northeastern Operators 3Iay Assist. F pedal to the XndianapoUs JonrnaL Chicago, Dec 10. Interest in the Rock Island strike centers in possibilities rather than in anything which has yet taken place. The two most important possibilities are a strike of the operators on the Chicago & Northwestern, with its six or seyen thousand miles of road, and a strike of the switchmen, engineers, firemen, conductors and employes of the Jiock Island company. The possibility of the first event was discovered by the committee at the I'almer House today, owing to the information that the Chicago & Northwestern was showing a desire to help the Kock Island through its present trouble by snpplying it with competent men to replace those who have quit their work in obedience to the command of their representatives. Chief Ramsey, on hearing this report, declared emphatically that if it was true he would have no hesitation in calling out the men over the whole line, upon which 95 per cent, are members of tho order. As to a strike of the switohmen, while nothing has been decided on, if. is generally asserted that such an event is highly probable. Chief Ramsey attended a conference today with local representatives of the various railroad organizations on the Rock Island system. The object of tho meeting, it is said, was to givo Chief Ramsey borne idea of the feeling of the various orders toward the striking operators. Further, it is learned that a poll of tho orders is being made to gauge the sentiment ot tne members with re gard to, a general strike. To-day the committee received dispatches from points all oyer the line, stating that the men were nil standiug lirm and will remain so. The compauy is searching for men at every place where it is thought possible to secure them, and is oileriiig $10 a month more than the average rate. Tho following bulletin was issued to-night by the committee, addressed to "All dispatchers aud operators:" The reitort that two of the eommitto returned to wuik is false. Do not expect bulletins every hour reporting changes in tho situation, becauso there may be no change tor dart,, and if you only reuiatu loyal we will secure help. Will issue and luali you circulars daily of situation. Lute ad vices very encouraging, rympathetlc meetings beiug held allover the road. Home who have re turned to work have quit again and we expect others to follow. To-day Chief Ramsay said: "Topeka and Wichita are very important points, and ad vices are that the striae is 6olid there. Oi course, some of our men are going baok to work bere and there, but this is counter balanced by additions to the strikers.' I think we are gaining ground right along. and we are going to stick to it to the end. It is all very well for t. John to langb and talk sarcastically, bnt his freight-yards all along tho line are being blockaded and things are getting worse every hour. Of courso they move a train now and then, but their freight business is practically at a standstill. Itis a6trikefor principle and we will stay out as loug as there is a handful of men to stay with ns. Tho ones who stay to the end will reap the benefits." General Manager bt. John, of the Hock Island, persists in his denial of the statement of Chief Ramsey that S 'per cent, of the men in 'the telegraph department are ont and that the road is crippled by the strike. Mr. t. John said to-day: "Here are reports from nearly every station of prominence along onr line, and they indicate that trains are running well and that our telegraph system is working as if no operators had contemplated striking. We know nothing of a strike. Ramsey is quoted as saying that we recognizo the chief of tho engineers, trainmen and conductors, and that he will compel us to recognizo him if it takes all winter. We recognize everybody who comes to us bearing the label of the Rock Island road." General Manager bt. John further declares that one of the committee .that claimed to represent a majority of the operators is back on the Iowa division seeking reinstatement. The places of the six striking operators in the Rock Island freight office in Kansas City have all been tilled. One striker went back to his job. The strikers tried to keen other operators form working for the company, but were unsuccessful, and as far as Kansas City is concerned, the strike is ended. Tho report of a wreck on tho Rock Island road, near Ilolton. Kan., last night, proves to have no foundation in fact Aid Asked for Homestead's Destitute. Pittsuurg. Deo. 10. Homestead appeals to the country to succor its starving. Nearly one thousand persons, embraced in 21S families, are destitute, and in immediate need of food, tiro and clothing. The Citizens' Kelief Association of Homestead havo iMued a formal plea for aid for the unfortnnates, who are all victims directly or indirectly of the great and stubbornly fought strike just ended. Many of these poor are actually starving, while many others are without sufheient clothing to cover their bodies and protect them from the cold blasts of winter. Ilarbers Elect Officers. St. Louip. Dec. 10. The journeymen barbers' national convention closed here to-day with the election of the following otlkers: J. C. Meyers, St. Raul, Minn., president; W. E. Klpaley, Syracuse, N.

These ollicers also compose the executive board nnd general national organizers' board, with control over State organizers. The next convention will be held in Cincinnati the first Tuesday iu December, Ib'Si. Chler Arthnr Will 1.k with Depew, New York, Dec. 10. Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, is here attending a meeting with the board of adjustment. The engineers are still reticent as to their plans, .but Chief Arthur ridicules the idea of a strike; It was reported this afternoon that he wonld call npon Mr. Deoew and try to induce him to accede to the demands of the engineers. The latter expect a settlement of the controversy early in the week. In an Iwdtanapoli School-Room. Dr. J. M. Kice, in the Forma. I entered one of the rooms containing the youngest children at the time of the opening exercises. The scene I encountered was a glimpse of fairyland. I was in a room f nil of bright and happy children, whose eyes weredirected toward the teacher, not be-. cause they were forbidden to look in any' other, direction, but because to them the most attractive object in the room wis their teacher. She understood them, sympathized with and loved them, and did all in her power to interest them and make them happy. The room itself was charming. The window-sills were tilled with living plants, and living plants were scattered here and there throughout the room. The teacher's 1 desk was literally strewn with flowers, and npon each of the children's desks liowers had be".n placed to welcome the little ones to scho.d. The book use! during the reading lesson was the book of nature the plant they had just been studying. The scene presented by the happy little children, each with a tlowerin his hand, surrounding the teacher, who was smiling npon them, was truly beautiful. For reading matter the children were cslled upon for sentences expressing thoughts' concerning their liowers. The sentences were written npon the hoard by the teacher, and when a number of them had been written the pupils began to read them. The children were interested becauso they all took an active part in the lesson from the beginning to the end. They were all observing, all thinking. Home of the little ones even committed the crime of laying their hands npon the teacher, and she so far forgot herself as to fondle them in Teturn. Yet the discipline was perfect What is perfect I duoipline in the class-room but perfect at-

"When it hasadvanced eo far that the actual destruction of the lung tissue has began ,then it will be too late. . In treating patients sutlering from lupg "troubles, especially patients iu the incipient stages of consumption, Dr. Stackhouee and the traiued specialists associated with htm are having unvarying success. 'Discoveries recently made by Dr. StacLkhouse have proven of such value in the treatment of all lung troubles that they now warrant the specialists of the Stackhouse Medical Institute in making this positive announcement. tiThe Stackbouse lung treatment in every care relieves bronchial sutlering and stajs the progress of disease in patients with a tendency to consumption.

TOYS OF TWO EMPrRORS The DolU That Amused Napoleon. Ill and n Czar's Puppet Soldiers. ' Pall Mall Bul, et. - , " The receut .discovery at Buckingham Palace of the dolls which the Queen dressed as a child has caused almost as much interest ou the continent as in .this country. The French especially have been struck with the idea that "this woman ot seventythree; " coveted with glory, Queen of a happy Epgland and Empress of a peaceful India.?' should again let her eyes rest upon the toys wit which she played more than, sixty; y eh rs : go. " .Anctmr net in connection with the Queen's dolls, uii wi ch French newspapers love to dwell, is that ter Majesty has shown en interest in the dolls which, in the words of one French chronicler, looks almof as if she would have liked to be left alone with her beloved toys and take once more into her arms tne ugly, old.fashioned dolls. 1 Curiously enough, the last Emperor of the French had an army of dolls, which, in many respects, were like those of the Queen. Instead of sheperdesses and sleep-: ing; beauties, however, the dolls of Napoleon 111 were all coldiers, each one representing a regiment in" the French army, and each a perfect model iu every way. It was quite by chance this army of mutuary dfin was started. One winter night M. Fierier, the artist, was passing theTnlieries, where a ball was going on. Outside, at? the gate, he saw a mounted artilleryman, on 'guard, and was so struck with the motionless figure in the snowcovered square that next morning he made a clay model of it. M. De Nieuwekerke eawit, told the Emneror of it and caused a series of similar statuettes to be made, each representing a ditlerent .type of soldier. ' Napoleon III presently inquired, somewhat to the sculptor's consternation, whether the clay models could not be coloryd: ".They would then, he added, be quite perfect. After some difficulty this was accomplished, and the miniature regiment was prononnced "quite perfect." The noble army of imperial dolls was not, however, destined to a long lile, and the work which it had. taken the sculptor oyer ten-years to complete was almost entirely destroyed in a single day. One morning tha'late Prince Imperial, then a child, was playing with young Floury in the room where hit father's toy soldiers were kept nn'jer glass. His tutor gave permission to the boys to play with them, and the son of theEmpercr led one-half of their number against the rost, which were headed by the sop-of the general. In half an hour's time the army of statuettes had ceased to exist. Nicholas I. Czar of all the Rnssias. was another of the sovereigns who bad a leasing towards toy soldiers. When, in lfc&6, he made changes in the uniforms ot tl(e Russian army, he : had the new apparel f each regiment drawn by the cleverest artist in the country. Next, forty figures were ordered tb be constructed by letfding sculptors, and uniforms were then mado afterithe water-color drawings to fit the PUPPets. It was thus that the great Nicholas' Stnoid the ertect of the new uniforms. Later, on the figures were placed in large cases, with glass doors, in the Emperor's study at Krasnoe-Sclo. where they may --".I I... iA,c, - ' A Wml fur Oould. rtstfa&lphia North American. ould bequeaths his fortnne. wbnt-evfcr-it may be, to his own household.
