lection. When Mr.. Wells had finished, Mr..
Beecher was greeted with loud and cOntin-
ued applause. He began by referring to
the oft-quOted conceit of the manufactur-
ers that they alone were in position to I'M
derstand the intricacies of the tariff ques-
tiOn..
Mr.. Beecher declared that he was in favor
of no tariff at all. Though the best policy to
follow was to place direct tax upon the peo-
pie to defray the expenses of the government,
the innate selfshness of the people, born of
their ignorance. would make the operation Of
such policy impossible until the arrival of
the millennium. Mr.. Beecher, amid great ap-
plause and laughter, said that protection was
the ''jugglery of the devil; that il politicians
were statesmen, protection would die nat
ural death in spite of the devil; but politicians
are not statesmen, they were .'vOte-mongers."
Mr.. Beecher spoke in most uncom-
plimentary language of custom houses.
and said he believed from personal
observation that if there was such a
thing as profane oath it could invariably
be found in the courts and custom houses.
Quoting the secretary OF the national labor
organization, Mr.. Beecher said there were
now in this country million of labOrers
unemployed. After referring to the rivalry
among capitalists in developing and reaping
the profits in newlY-discovered industries,
which resulted in inevitable over-produc-
ton and the ultimate effect of throwing
labOrers again out of work. Mr.. Beecher
remarked that there was no tariff on men,
and wondered if the protectionists were
thinking of bettering the situation by plac-
ing tariff on imported pauper labor.
This was intensely amusing to the audi
ence and its suppressed laughter increased
to a roar when the speaker remarked that
This country was large exporter--''of re-
lfgion.' This country sent millions of dol
lars to heather countries to instill the prin-
ciples of Christianity into the minds of unbe-
believers, while the article went begging at
home. This country was liberal in exporting
religion for the benefit of the heather that
when those benighted individuals came to
this country to be nearer to the fountain
head of such teaching, they were met with
stones and curses and only allowed to remain
at the peril Of their lives.
Though Mr.. Beechers short address
abounded in cutting sarcasms and witty
figures, he closed in an earnest and i'm
pressive vein with the old argument in
dress SO new and attractive that his audi
ence listened with the most strained atten-
ton. The speakers closing words were
tribute to the liberty that had founded the
government that had freed the slaves and
which would remove every bar to it's COM
mercial grandeur.

House of Refuge CrneIties.

Special to the Globe.
CLEVELAND, o., Nov. 12.-The Press
to-day publishes an account of the way in
which the Toledo house of refuge is con-
Quoted. The institution is sustained by the
state, but the city of Toledo has charge of
it and reaps the benefits. Various COM
plants of treatment of inmates have been
made during the past year or two and so loud
did they become last winter that the state
legislature appointed committee to make
an investigation. Some light was thrown
upon the subject to-day by an interview
with late inmate. The person is Charles
Connolly, Is years old. He was taken
by his father two years ago and
confined in the refuge. The boy had CON-
mitted no offense, and the fathers act was
for the purpose of getting the boy away
from his mother, who was divorced. The
mother, after spending much time and
money. through the Intervention of the mayor
of Cleveland, procured her sons release.
Young Connolly says that the superintend-
ent of refuge, Mcdonald, compelled him to
make twenty beds, scrub floor and knit
thirty-six pairs Of socks per day. If he
failed in any particular he was fearfully
beaten. Every boy, he says, was
treated in like manner. Mcdonald
used thick leather strap to
beat the boys and always whipped them
until blood ran down their backs. They
were fed on meat which was crawling with
maggots, and the rats frequently fought
with the boys for that miserable
allowance. In the winter the
boys were compelled to carry ice
from the river to supply the ice house. They
were frequently whipped until they were

of quinine. Not few boys have died
of consumption after having served
a term in the refuge. Mcdonald
makes the boys tell visitors that they like
the refuge better than their homes. Young
Connolly showed terrible scars all over his
body, some of which were still sore. He is
a physical wreck and shows the effects of
his harsh treatment while imprisoned in the
refuge

BELGRADE, Nov. IA detachment Of
Servian engineers has entered Timsk river
from the Danube, taking with them pom
toons for constructing a bridge from the
Servian to the Bulgarian bank. The
Servians at Tien were to-day compelled by
the Bulgarians to withdraw after exchang-
ing several shots. No one was injured on
either side The Burmese envoy has gone
to ask Prince Bismarck to arrange
with England for the settlement OF
the dispute between Burmah and
Great Britain. Seventy-five thousand men
have been raised in Eastern Roumelia.

Alexander and Minister Karavelof will re-
main her until final decision has been
reached by the Balkan conference. The
government has information that the bulk
of the Servian army has marched to Les
kovit and Vrania and is facing the Turks.
1t is thought probable that this movement
was made because Turkey is arming the
Albanian militia. The Roumanian govern
ment has renounced the Russo-Roumanian

Comments on GIadsiOne's SPocCMs
LONDON, Nov. 12.-The Scottish Liberal
newspapers to-day, commenting on Mr.
Gladstone's address at Edinburg yester-
day, generally condemn his speech. The
Scotsman gives it faint praise. and says it
.sbelieves that the people will continue to fol-
low Mr.. Gladstone" The Glasgow Herald
saws: ssMr. Gladstone comes forward too
late. No soothing words will effect the dis
establishment controversy" The Glasgow
Mail saws: 1.-The speech had better not
been said. as it has caused intense disap-
pointment." The Edinburg Review says:
s.Instead of effecting unity the speech has
unmeasurably extended the rife in the Lib
eral ranks" The Scotland Courant says:
"Gladstone deluged the Liberals with cold
water" The Times says that it ''regrets to
be compelled to deny Mr.. Gladstene's asser-
ton that the Tories forced the English
church question to the front. 1t had been
forced by the Radical caucus. While it adj
mits the increased friendly tone OF the
speech towards the English church, it says:
1.-THE language is guarded and measured
and was wrung from the Liberal leader by
the exigencies Of the political situation.

Extensive Bank Frauds.

PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 12.-Extensive
forgeries on Oregon banks came to light
here to-day. Two forged checks, each for
So, 500, on the First National bank of Pen

man Blum, well-known merchant, were
cashed by the Pacific bank of San Fran

bank, with r. NJ. Steeles sigma
ture forged to it, and Cash's

Pratt was formerly an engineer employed
by the Oregon Railroad and Navigation
company on construction. Nothing is
known of the Union Contract company and
j. w. Smith. 1t is believed that some Of
this forged paper has reached New York,
as inquiries have come from the Second
National bank of that city, which indicate
that the name of Frank Dekwin, president
of the Portland Savings bank. is being used
in connection with the forgeries.
