LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE Conservative dem

day, involving meetings in Astor grounds, town

organized force of their opponents. Liberals
In great numbers forced an entrance to the
town hall by battering in the doors with heavy

free fight took place, in which furniture was
broken and freely used for weapons. The mob
swept from the platform the officers of the

were Intellectual, and they were obliged to re.

their hut. They were not much alarmed and
proceeded to get breakfast which they succeed
ed in eating. The storm continued to increase
in fury, and finally great wave struck the
cabin and carried it fairly into the boiling sea,
and with it every man upon the structure.
Twelve OF the men succeeded in climbing upon
the huge striDgcrS and living face down, with
their arms around the beams, they awaited the
arrival OF assistance. Every moment increased
their danger, and the waves, with terrible
force, tore them one by one from their anchor
age, until only eight remained. III the mean
time the crew o! the Chicago life saving station
had been advised OF their situation, and were
DISPATCHED TO THEIR RESCUE.

1t is certified by the English statisti-
clan, Mulhail, that the average weekly
surplus wages of the British artisan,
after purchasing food, is $4.56, while
IN the United States the surplus is
S7.84. This comparative statement of
the profits of mechanical labor in the
two countries shows at a glance lust
how the two policies of free trade and
protection relatively effect the work
ingman. Would it be wise for us to
abandon or embarrass a policy which
has been proved to be so advantageous
and go to experimenting in the direc-
ton of the British policy? That is
what the Democratic party is trying to
bring about.

A curious fact shown by the Unit ed
States Treasury's balance sheet at the
close of this years business is that
there is nearly $4,000, 900 of outstand-
ing government securities on which the
money is due and uncalle d for, writes
the Washington correspondent of the
Louisville commercial On all of
these interest has been closed, and
there can be no possible reasons for the
holders to delay presenting them for
retention. Some of them have been
due for many years. On some of them
are due large sums of interest, which
have not been called for, so that the in
terest ON tn csc alone amounts to $347,-
600. What has become of these docu
ments and why they are not presented
is something no one can find out. Some
of them matured half century ago,
and are still unheard from and unpre
sented.
