party. This party, while distinct from the
q valuable ally of the liberals against the
conservative or government party, but
is now 80 badly distracted
that it is questionable if it will be able to
maintain its present strength. Had it avoid
ed quarreling it might have seriously impair
ed the representation of the conservatives.
The efforts of Mr.. Gladstone in Scotland
seem to have turned the scale in that coun-
try in favor of the liberals. The ex-premier
has travelled extensively all over that coun-
try, and has been received with the greatest
enthusiasm. The meetings he has address,
ed have been the largest ever known in a
political campaign, and the reception that
has been accorded to him assures a decided
advance of the ideas which his party repre-
sents. There is every indication at present
that Scotland will be represented in the next
parliament by more liberals than ever before.
We have no doubt but the aristocracy of
the nation will put forth every effort to re-
tain the present government in power. The
hastings will be surrounded by every in
fluence calculated to swerve voters. 1t is
unfortunate that large majority of the
electors are beholden in greater or less de-
gree to the landed proprietors of the king
dom, and as q matter of self-interest will
vote as their landlords dictate. We can
scarcely expect, therefore, that the result OF
the election will represent fully the DELHI
crate opinions of the voters. But there are
liable to be some changes, and these may be
great enough to retire the present ministry
from active service for time, at least.

IMPERIAL KELLY.

He Sets Himself For,Uard as the Arbiter
of the Destinies of the Democratic PARTY.
New York Special.
The opposition to Mr.. Tilden in this city is
preparing to call a convention of their own on
the date of the regular Democratic convention,
and are organizing the party throughout the
State. Kelly and Tammany Hall are at the
head of the movement. The general commit
tee of the anti Tidenites have established their
headquarters in Park Row, where the work of
the campaign is about to begin. Of the per-
sonal preferences of the members it would be
impossible to speak, since it comprises adher-
ents of nearly every candidate thus far men
toned for the Democratic nomination. There
can be no doubt, however that the whole body
are bitterly opposed to the candidacy OF samuel
j. Tilden, and would prefer any other man.
The Hancock men, 80 tar as can be learned,
are in the ascendency; but there are also sup
porters of Palmer, Davis, Hendricks and Bay
ard The latter, it is believed, stands second
to Hancock in the opinion of the committee.
This, however, is of small Importance. The
motto of the party, whose mouthpiece the COM
mittee assume to be, is: Anybody but Ill
den." John Kelly, in an interview, was asked !:
do YOU think the Tilden convention will
pledge their delegates to the national conven-
ton to vote for Mr.. Tilden!"

Bat should they fail to pledge the delegates
or bond them to Mr.. Tilden?"
.'We should still eend our own delegates"
"Would you indorse the action of that con-
vention should they pledge their candidates
to vote for some other candidate than Til
den?''
'sMost assuredly. Anybody but Tilden.
Should they pledge them for Hancock, or Bay
ard, or for any other good man who could be
elected, we would indorse their action"
ssThen in that event. I am to understand,
you would not send an Independent set of del

Precisely. As said before, anybody but

I'm not prepared to say"

That is premature. There are, of course,
personal preferences; but these cannot be sad
died upon the party until some official action
shall have been taken. We would be suited
with Hancock or Bayard, or any other good
man who could be elected; but we do not want
Tilden."
ssYou desire harmony, do you?"
90, yes, we desire harmony-withont Ill
den.''
There was just the faintest suspicion OF
smile on Mr.. Kelly's face as he added the last
two words, after q long pause; but it soon gave
place to the stern gravity that usually distin-
euishes it. and the massive jaws were set rlgid-

in the country at present. In fact, the
woods are full of it. Illinois heads the van
with five candidates Grant, Washburne,
Davis, Palmer and Morrison; Ohio follows

New York comes next by presenting the

THE BRITISH ELECTIONS.

Parliament has finally been prorogued and
writs have been issued for the new elections
to take place next month. The queens
speech, read to small number of the mem
bers on Wednesday, was brief as usual. Her
majesty takes an exceedingly rose colored
view of the situation, thanks the house of
commons for sustaining the policy of her
government; declares that the policy of the
crown is designed to maintain the peace of
Europe; expresses confidence of happy and
speedy adjustment of the difficulties in At
ghanistan, and concludes by expressing the
hope that the bounty vouchsafed to the
Irish people will convince them that their
interests are regarded with the greatest so
licitude by the imperial government. She
does not refer, however, to the terms that
govern the dispensation of this bounty,
which makes all who accept it paupers in the
eye of the law. Such munifcence is char
acteristc of the treatment of the Irish by the
British government.
The elections shortly to take place are
likely to be decisive of the fate of the Bea-
consfeld government. The contest is al
ready under full headway. ALI the leaders
of both parties are in the field asking re-
election, and are stirring up the electors with
all the power of their eloquenoe. Gladstone
is contesting the Midlothian district in Scot
land, with every prospect of success. Bea-
cons6eld, being now peer, requires no cleo
ton, but his adjutants are makings vigor-
GUS canvass all over the kingdom. The lib
erals are liable to gain in a few districts, but
will almost inevitably lose ground in Ireland
through the discussions in the home rule

He Might Have Been blu. He Wasn't.

Robert Simons might have been a tinker, a
cobbler or tailor, perchance a frisky mailer,
but he wasn't either. He is simply a poor,
old Canadian carpenter, with gray hair, lame
leg and depraved appetite for his booze.
Night before last when the driving snow came
down in gusts and winnowed pale white wind
ing sheet, al seen through the scudding clouds,
for old mother earth, he was found aimlessly
drifting on Mississippi street benumbed with
cold and drink and almost halt from his in
frmities.
Officer Flaherty took the wretch in charge
and he was brought before Judge Flint yester-
day morning, the embodiment of penury and
Indebtedness. He related a pitiful story of
hardships; he was a years old, had come down
from Duluth and failing to find work had fallen
in with the tide and drifted. He hoped the
court would let him go, and he would try and
do better. This was his story and the good
Judge fined him 50 and suspended sentence
during sobriety.

and the tendency seems to be towards the bull side

vail here yesterday. In coarse grains the supply and

IN OLD CLAIM.
Which Thomas Howard Asks of tn
County, but Don't Get.

Which Thomas Howard Asks of the
County, but Don't Get.
A decision was rendered by Judge Brill on
yesterday, sustaining the demurrer to the COM
plant in the case of Thomas Howard against
ton was brought to enforce the payment of an
alleged Indebtedness of 1905, the same being
for services and fees sustained in conducting
suits to which the State was party during the
time that plaintiff oHiciated as Justice of the
peace. The demurrer was brought on the
grounds that several causes of action were i'm
properly united in the complaint and that
sufficient facts were not stated to constitute a
cause of action.
The case is reviewed at length by the court,
who maintains that the position taken by the
are Improperly inserted in the complaint, is
not tensble. The decision is mainly based
upon point in the second ground of demur-
rer, to the effect that the claim is barred by
the statute of limitation.
In summing up the case, the court says:
The demurrer. though general in form, was
considered by counsel upon the argument of
applicable to each claim or separate cause of
action of this complaint, and have so con-
Hdered it here.
The county attorney further claimed on the
argument, and the point was discussed at
length, that the county is liable for the fees
of justices of the peace in criminal prosecu-
tions only in the cases mentioned in section
"A. chapter 70, general statutes. The liability
under that section arises only upon certain
conditions, which do not appear to exist in
this ease. The other statute has been referred
to which expressly provides for the payment of
justices fees in criminal cases out of the
county treasury, and though they appear to have
been thus paid without question for many years.
1t would seem that the county could be held
liable only by statutory provision. But it is
not necessary to pursue the investigation upon
this point, the views expressed upon the other
points being decisive of the case. 1t il or
dered that the demurrer be sustained.

A Little Fire.

At AIS clock, yesterday morning, an alarm
of fire was turned in from box &c. situated at
the corner of Third and Commercial streets.
Engines No.:2 and and the hook and ladder
truck responded, but owing to the heavy snow
fall, did not make very good time. and the per-
son who sounded the alarm, thinking something
was out of order, pulled the box again. This
had the effect of bringing the entire depart
ment to the scene. The fire was found to be
in pile of wood to the right of the Duluth
freight depot, near the river bank, and by lay
ing eighteen hundred feet of hose and using
engines No. 2 and a stream was put on the
flames. The fire is supposed to have been caus-
ed by sparks from some of the ashes dumped
from locomotives early on Wednesday evening.
The wood was owned by John Dowlan. and the
loss will be $40. Mr.. Dowlan intends to hold
the railroad company responsible for the loss,
a. he claims the wood was not left at that part
of the yard where he has been accustomed to
unload IL.

offered at 10015 per cent. discount. At the same
time, however, personal and mortgage securities on
which money can now be had at seven to eight per
cent, though then bearing II per cent, were SUBJ
jected to heavy discounts.
