DAVITT IN NEW YORK.
His Reception BY the Labor Or
ganizations-Twe Thou
sand People Present.

The reception rendered to Michael
Davitt by the labor organizations of
New York attracted full 10000 peo-
pie to Union square tonight, despite
the inclement weather. The differ
ent bodies were cheered by the crowd
as they marched up to the speakers
stand, especial favor being shown
the freight-handlerS. On motion of
Jeremiah Murphy, president OF the
freight-handlers' union, Robert Bills
sert was made chairman of the
meeting. He introduced P. j. Nc
CURE, who read an address of well
come from the labor union to Mr..
Davitt. Mr.. Davitt was enthusiastic
ally received. He asked indulgence
for weak voice and expressed re-
greet for not being informed ON the
labor question in America, that his
comments might be more valuable.
He had been much pleased by the
remark of another speaker tonight,
that while Ireland and Irishmen
were fighting the cause of labor and
justice for ireland, they were fight
ing the cause of labor and humanity
throughout the world. This land
war in Ireland can be justly called
labor movement. 1t is an uprising
of laborers against a system of
monopoly that has confiscated the
fruits of labor, viz, rent based upon
labor. Mr.. Davitt added:
"To-day we are half way on the
road to victory. There is to-day in
Ireland a distinct labor movement
besides the land league movement
"a movement on behalf of the arti-
sans and laborers in the cities.
[Cheers.l AS Irishmen and as men
who help to build up the land, they
demand that they share in the bene-
fits that are to accrue from the abo-
lition of Irish landlordism. Now as
laborer, the son of laborer and
the grandson of a laborer, 1 am anx-
ious that the laborers of Ireland
should share in the spoils of Irish
landlordism. Therefore l have in
recent utterances in England and
America declared my conviction
that the only just settlement of the
Irish question, the only settlement
that will leave the land with the
people, will be one that gives the
agricultural laborer and the artisan
in the city a direct benefit from the
soil. Exception has been taken to
my scheme by thoughtful and sim
cere men. Do not let it be supposed
for an instant that my friend, the
chosen leader of the Irish people,
Charles Stewart Parnell, is in the
least opposed to the labor move
ment. He has more than once de-
clared that if full justice was not
done the laborers he would place
himself at their head and see that
full justice was done them. L am
confident that by and by he and ev-
cry other land Lacquer will be TAX
ing the same stand that take now
in behalf of the artisan class of Ire
land"

HOMICIDE.
Marshal Thompson Shoots and
Kills Jack Harris I'm San An
tonic,

The city was thrown into a tremor of
excitement by the reception, about half
past eight o'clock last night, of private
telegram from San Antonio announcing
that Captain Ben Thompson, city mar
shall and chief of police Of Austin, had
shot and killed Jack Harris, a gambler
and well known character in San Antonio.
Captain Thompson went over to San
Antonio yesterday morning on a visit,
carrying with him his two children, and
was expected to return either yesterday
evening or this morning.
1t was well known to most ofThompson's
intimate friends here that an old feud, of
several years standing. had existed be-
tween Thompson and Harris, but those
who know the former felt confident that,
while perfectly fearless, the difficulty
was not of his seeking, and that he must
have acted in self-defense. 1t has been
understood that Harris had made threats
against Thompson, and about year ago,
while the latter was in that city, the for
mer hunted for him, it was asserted at
the time, with double barrel gun.
The special dispatch in another column
gives partial account of the homicide.
1t was stated last night that several of
Thompson's friends will go over to San
Antonio this morning.

WAR AND IT'S PROFITS.

And now the war in Egypt having
begun, it may be well tor us to look
around and see in what respect any
continued struggle may affect US.
During our late "unpleasantness,"
England made extra endeavors to
procure the production of cotton in
India and in Egypt, and the effort
so revolutionized matters that now
a great many Of the Lancashire mills
run machinery adapted alone to the
spinning of eastern products.
Should the Egyptians conclude
to fight the powers vigorously, it is
not to be q uestioned that the season
for making and saving a cotton crop
will pass with great loss to the
planting interests of Egypt. Ex-
element will divert attention from
the crop, and the ablest laborers will
be called upon to bear arms. In
such event the crop must be very
short one, probably an entire failure,
and as a consequence the price of
cotton must advance. The evils
which befall Egypt and the expense
OF money and life by the powers may
in proportion to their magnitude
affect the fortunes of these southern
states, whose influence in the cotton
markets of the world was sought to
be affected by the growth of cotton
in the east. The price of cotton
goods may be expected to advance
at once on the simple bombardment
of Alexandria, but this will be an
item of small interest when it is
known that continued disturbances
must increase our export trade, give
us a greater balance to our credit in
the near future, and enhance the price
of cotton to figures that will make
the crop in this country pay more
than any crop has paid in the last
ten or twelve years. The distresses
of the land of the Ptolemies will not
only spread civilization in Africa,
but it will line the pockets of the
southern people with dollars.

The folly of people tying them
selves to any one product was never
better exemplified than by the pres
ent condition of the Charentes and
the little town of Cognac, France.
Before the appearance of the Phil
loxera in France there were over
700,OW acres of vineyards in the
Guarantees. OF these, three-fourths
have been attacked by the pest ;
10000 acres have been completely
destroyed, and the insect is now
making head at the rate of $4,000
annually. The population of these
departments has fallen off about
10000 during the last five years; and
thriving, bustling Cognac itself,
whose progress was some years ago
exciting wonder, and where there
were 140 brandy firms, is now on the
downward road. All other trades
and callings necessarily suffer and
in this town Of under IS, 900 inhabi
tants there are ar present $40 empty

The FACT that Louisiana has at
last reached a basis of settlement
with her creditors for overdue
bonds is proof of increasing pros
perity, as well as a creditable refiec-
ton upon home government by
those mostinterested in state. The
Radical debt of Texas has been paid,
and now Louisiana readjusts the
debt made by one of the most cor
rupt state governments that ever
disgraced the federal power that
created 1t. Tennessee, too, has a
debt, which was not created by
methods most approved by honest
men, but it is debt, and the state
ought TO pay it and not keep it
continually before the public
mind that the debt is disputed.
such dispute Is more injurious to
Tennesseeans than the debt itself.
AS an exchange says, they had bet
ter pay every dollar of the obliga-
ton, if it takes half century to do
it, than to spend half a century in
wrangling over it. The man who
keeps his endorsements contln-
,ually before the public by refusing
all terms of settlement and forcing
his name into lawsuits, does himself
greater wrong than his most ex-
acting creditor can do him. The
history of quarrels over public
debts in this country, whether of
states, counties or cities, shows that
these wrangles invariably mark a
period of stagnation, idleness, I'M
thrift, Encouragement discomfort
and adversely.

The full cost of the arrears of PEN
sions bill is coming to be approx
mately known. The commissioner
estimates that there will be needed
in his department, to satisfy the
claims for the next four years, $685.
100000, sum equal to one-fourth of
the entire national debt. AT the
end of 1886 the annual pension list is
estimated at $5O.OOO,OOO. The extra
annual cost of clerks III the pension
office for the next three years will
be $1,74S,4SO. If each taxpayers
share of this enormous expense were
paid directly, and a receipt given
for it, the demagogues who passed
the arrears bill would be extinguish-
ed politically. But, though the bur-
den is not seen, it will be felt.

REMARKABLY EsCAPEs.

John Kuhn, of Lafay Indiana, had
q very narrow escape from death, This is
his own story: "One year agoI was in
the last stages of Consumption. Our best
physicians gave my case up. 1 finally got
live twenty-fOur hours. My friends then
purchased bottle of DIR. VIM. HALLS
BALsAM FOR THE LUNGS, which bene-
fitted me. 1 continued until took nine
bottles. / am now in perfect health,
having used no other medicine"
DIR. M. Ii. Hinsdale, Kenawee, Illinois,
reports another remarkable case: ga
neighbours wife was attacked with vio-
lent lung disease, and beyond help from
Quick Consumption. As last resort the
family were persuaded to try DIR. VIM.
HALLS BALSAM FOR THE LUNGS. To
the establishment of all, by the time she
had used six bottles she was able to do
her own work. had no idea she could
recover"
P.J. Duesler, of Clayvllle, New York,
gives account of his escape from the
same disease: 81 was attacked with a
severe cough which gradually wore on
until found 1 was going into QUICK
CONSUMPTION, and some one advised
me to try your DIR. VIM. HALLS BALsAM
FOR THE LUNGS, which did, and by the
use of two bottles was cured of my
cough and regained my health entirely
From the above it is plainly evident
that there is a cure for. consumption ,
even in the most hopeless cases, and that
cure is DR.. VIM. HALLS BALsAM FOR
TIE LUNGS. Cures all coughs and colds.

The true secret OF happiness is perfect
health, which enables the individual to
enjoy life, and attain competency and
contentment. The martyr to dyspepsia,
in continual misery, is without hope in
the pursuit of business or pleasure, and
realizes that existence yields only failure.
But new era has come, and good health
is assured, with positive relief from the
ills of Indigestion and torpid liver, by the
use of Dr. Acker's Dyspepsia Tablets.

The United States is the greatest
raisin consuming country in the
world, and uses annually more raj
sins than the whole of Europe. This
market is mainly supplied from
Spain, the rsisins known as "Mala-
gas" being considered the best.
They come from a comparatively
narrow strip of country in the south
of Spain, which has hither-
to been regarded rs surpass-
ing all other regions for rails
ins of that character. The annu-
al yield of Malaga grapes averages
2,450,000 boxes of twenty pounds
each. 1t sometimes reaches $780,
600 boxes, and last season about
100000 boxes were marketed. Of
this enormous yield tie United
States takes fully one-hslf, on which
it pays q duty-as on all other rails
ins-of two and a half cents per
pound. The American raisins are
all made from a white grape, the
"Muscat of Alexander" to the rails
ing of which the soil and climate of
a large portion of California are well
adapted.
