Dtsraeips Speech In Rlamchestcr-,rhe Mon.
archy, tho Church, tho AristocraOy and
the Gust.
Mr.. Disraeli delivered his speech to the
conservatives Of Manchester yesterday even
ing at a meeting assembled in Free Trade
Hail. The room was crowded to it's very
utmost capacity Of accommodation. The vet
eran politician and parliamentist was fully
equal to the occasion. 1t may be said, indeed,
that lie appeared in a right royal mood aud
with all the imperalisms of his name and
family full upon him. He proclaimed his
party the defenders of the constitution, of
the faith as it Is expounded In the Church Of
the State, Of the perpetuity of property by
hereditary transmission and of the aristocratic
branch of the Legislature. ''We have
assembled here" said the leader of the oppo-
sItion, ''to proclaim our resolution to uphold
the constitution of the kingdom, to talk Of a
programme for future action which
will not despoil churches nor plunder land
lords, but for the interests of the great body of
the people" The ex-Premier and ex-Chan-
cellor Of the Exchequer went on from this
point to speak in defence of the
British monarchy. He alleged that the
''blessings" which Englishmen now enjoy
have come to them from the throne system Of
government, but pointed out, as fact,
that the sovereign does not exercise
real influence on the course of the
administration of the government The
monarchy is, however, a standpoint for popu-
lar rally in times Of difficulty and danger.
The British Crown system costs less than that
of any other nation. The expense OF the SOW
ereignty of the United States, which embraces
Congress and the State Legislatures, as well
as the Executive, is, in pounds sterling,
double in amount the total of the English civil
list Mr.. Dsraeli closed with vindication Of
the British aristocracy and defence of
the House Of Lords as an essential element
of the government. The great orator is q
man Of vast experience. He is also bold
one. Here We find him in Manches-
ter, the very fountainhead aud CEN
tre Of the democratic movement In
England, holding forth to his political sup
porters in advocacy of the Crown and its aris-
tocratc contingents as conlrasted with the
republicanism Of reform as il has been
eliminated from the measure of the year
1882 by the Russell-P Pamerston- Gladstone
party. Mr.. Disrael has, no doubt,
calculated his forces and power, and per-
ceives, as he has acknowledged, that the
"wave ia rising" against Gladstone, who will,
no doubt retort on him in reply that the
instincts Of royal race are inextingushable,
and the fervor and faith and fittings and
splendors of grand and ancient Church never
to be forgotten.

A Bro ''WAsH," BUT SMALL CHANG
our The labor reform exhibit in the late
Connecticut election reminds one of the con-
versation between two neighborly gossips,
Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones. Mrs. Smith was
complaining Of her heavy work on wash dayss
there were such great number of articles TO
be washed, rinsed, wrung out and hung up.
Mrs. Jones, who had ample opportunities OF
examining the clotheslines of her neighbor,
quietly remarked :-s'Mrs. Smith, don't you
think that with your very heavy wash you
have very small hang out?'" So with the
Connecticut as well as with the New Hamp-
shire labor reformers, with oil their boasting
they make poor exhibit when the time comes
to show their strength.

right to rob everybody that everybody may be
rich any more than it is right to rob everybody
that somebody may prosper. The only true
policy is to let each man pursue his own busi-
ness in his own way and not to tax the many
In behalf OF the few. This will be in effect
giving everybody everything, and this is what
we understood Mr.. Cox to mean when be said
he would be in favor of all subsidies provided
everybody got subsidy.
All this has moral deeper aud more i'm
portant than at first appears. 1t is easy to
talk of liberalty with the public treasure for
the benefit of commerce, but ii is not so easy
TO give everybody everything. We are wait
ing for somebody to introduce measure for
all subsidies provided everybody gets sub
sdy but in the meantime Congress must not
give away any more lands or any more money.
Let Senators learn this or take the conse-
quences of squandering the public domain
and the public treasure.

other point on our seacoast, and the company
concerned have the authority from Congress-

connection with this line between Lisbon and

England for all our cable communications with
the Old World, but we shall have cable CON-
necton with Brazil almost as handy as line

Indies direct to the mouth Of the Amazon.
AT all events, we hope that this Lisbon and
Brazilian line will speedily be laid, because.
when laid, it must inevitably operate to the
establishment Of system of cable connections

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS BILL-ENGLIsH
ESTIMATE OF THE AMERICAN CHARGES
AND THE ToTAL.-A London evening news
paper, which enjoys the reputation of
being pretty correctly informed as to
the current and purport Of the Minis
terialist ideas Of the members of the
Queens government announced in its issue
yesterday that 1t is alleged generally in Lon
don that the American bill Of damages for
losses sustained by the operations of the Ala
bama and other privateers built or fitted out
In British waters amounts to three hundred
and forty millions of dollars, the aggregates Of
The items of charge being classed under two
separate heads thus:-$i4O, 900, 900 for losses
sustained from the destruction of American
ships and cargoes by prvateer vessels
built or fitted out in English waters,
and 5000, 100000 for expenses incurred
by the Washington government in pursuing
the prvateers. II is stated, further, that these
figures form part of the American case before
The Geneva Arbitration Court. The writer,
evidently, processes to be astounded at the
amount Of the grand total, but he does not
Intimate that England Ia inclined to make any
offer Of settlement or for The discharge OF the
full BILL In this may be found the ,acheS of
the English position all through from the be-
ginning. John Bull is kept in state Of con-
tinual irritation relative to bis liability to
pay terribly heavy bill; but we have rot
seen at any time where he has been advised
TO go manfully forward and inquire Of the
creditor what abatement he will make in the
original demand and how much he will take in
b round sum for receipt In full. Here is
where the British press has neglected It's plain
duty towards its venerable client, even during
the penitential season of the past Lent, and
thus permitted Mr. Ball to sit down to his
Easter Day dinner unshriven OF his many aud
Weighty sins against the American democracy.

must be watched and their conduct held up to
public scrutiny, and, wherein it is wrong, to
public scorn. In two of the jobs the legislative
history of which our correspondent gives the
Senate differs with the House and differs in
favor of giving away the public lands and the
public treasure. If everybody got subsidy
the case might be different. Then everybody
would be benefited, and not merely favored
few. But everybody does not get subsidy,
and the ''Bill for Giving Everybody Every
thing has not yet been discussed In its broader
aspects. Now few people want everything
at the expense Of everybody. Mr.. Cox has
not yet framed his measure for giving all
subsidy. In the jobs of which we are speak
ing, and those which are sure to follow the
success Of these, the many would be compelled
to pay for the benefit of the few. II Is to this
that we object. While we are in favor of CIV
ing all a subsidy, We are not willing to tax
everybody to give everything to the rich and
powerful corporations which are crushing
liberty and overriding tho people.
In that wonderful history of the wrctchsd
little Titmouse from which Mr. Cox must have
derived his idea of giving everybody q subsidy
there are some excellent portraits of Wash
ington Statesmen" Mr.. O'Gibbet is one and
poor old Lord Drcdlington another. The
effete Lord, it will be remembered, was the
father-in-law of Titmouse ''for the benefit of
bis family !" but If Titmouse was the states

ton thought the man who discovered how the
vessels Of the Royal Navy might gather gun
powder and fresh water from the sea they
we're sailing over ought to have had subsidy
for his discovery. Titmouse being in favor Of
giving everybody everything could only have
favored the subsidy provided all men got q
subsidy. Just here IL tho difficulty. II 10 not

CorToN SEED. Cotton seed, as fer
tilizer, is getting below par. We hear Of
a number of our farmer friends who have
tried it on both cotton and corn, pro-
nounce against the same. They say it
heats the soil too much; and that the
crops cannot bear dry weather. One
gentleman has tried it for two years. On
one field he put no cotton seed, and it
hooks a great deal better than the other
where he put handful on each stalk.
Planters would do better to send their
seed to Memphis to be made into oil and
oil cake, and exchange the proceeds of
the sale for some better fertilizer.

A Gen uins sensation.

Pamela county, Mississippi, Fifty miles
below Memphis, has genuine sensa-
ton, if we may believe the reports we
have heard from various sources, and
which is still ringing in certain neigh
borhoed. We give the story as We heard
it, for what it is worth: There is a col
orcd skeptic in or near what is known as
the McIva neighborhood, who treats re-
ligion with more levity than solemnity,
and who persists in going fishing on Sun
day, to the scandal of the whole neigh
borhood. Being demonstrated with some
weeks ago. he replied irreverently that
he would go the next Sunday morning
{" before God gets up, and catch nice
string Of fish," Accordingly, on the fol.
lowing Sunday morning he repaired to
the banks OF the Tallahatchie river very
early, and threw his baited hook and line
into the river. Scarcely had he done so
when there was violent Juggling at his
hook, and counter pull from the shore
brought to the surface of the water a
huge catfish, which found voice to say:
You shall remain here fishing all the
days of your life, till God gets up" and
then disappeared. Since that time all
efforts to drag the unfortunate fisherman
from the bank of the river have proved
unavailing. 1t is evident that he labors
under a strange hallucnation, but he in
sists it is the judgment Of the Almighty,
and that he must continue angling in
that spot until he receives absolution
from his offended Maker. This fish story
is of course entirely original with the
Panolans.

A MATERNAL GoBBLER. "A Little Rock
paper tells of young turkey discovered
sitting on nest of eggs, and says the
progress of incubation was watched with
interest. When the time for consumma-
ton had passed an investigation was de-
termined upon, when careful survey
revealed one of the most glaring frauds
on record. The turkey proved to be a
gobbler," and the eggs-three in num-
ber-turned out to be China. Whether
the gobbler will try il again with genuine
eggs, or what he would have done had
this been the case, and had he succeeded
in Matching brood are questions worthy
the attention of scientific minds.

and the contestants seem ready to de-
