Gladstone defended the governments requi-

ton in the absence Of full knowledge of the
details as irregular There had been no
change in the governments policy, he de-
cared, since the credit had first been asked
for and the unanimity with which the meas

without the faintest doubt that the verdict
of the country upon it was favorable But
the disposition since shown to cavil was a
serious public evil IF the government was
not to be trusted it had better
be permitted to retire. loud cheers. ]
Sir Stafford Northcote, leader OF the
opposition, here urged Mr.. Gladstone to con-
sent to an adjournment of the debate, but
the premier objected, saying that any delay
in granting the credit would be most serious
in its results in view of the present state of
diplomatic negotiations Sir Stafford North
cote's formal motion to adjourn the debate
was then rejected by 181 to ia. A lively
debate ensued in which Mr.. Gladstone's re-
plies to questions and suggestions displayed
a somewhat querulous frame of mind The
premier finally suggested to Sir Stafford
Northcote that vote be taken now upon the
adoption of the credit, and that if desired
the discussion might be renewed on Thurs
day. To this Sir Stafford Northcote agreed

TROUBLE IN CAMP

Senator Eustis, of Louisiana, has
attacked the administration with
language that cannot be mistaken.
His expressions of dissatisfaction
and denunciation of Mr.. Cleveland's
course is fast being endorsed by 9TH
Ell influential leaders as well as by
some of the most powerful journals
of the Democratic party. The prob
lem presented by the "Mugwump"
combination is too dense for the
perceptive faculties of the average
Democrat, and even the most en-
lightened, cannot understand how
that on every platform, and from ev-
cry street corner and every district
school-house, the howlers and speak
ers, in October last, were shouting.
turn the rascals out by letting Cleve-
land in, and now-presto, change
the loaves and the fishes, the milk
and the honey are still enjoyed by
the rascals, and the Democratic alb
domen goes unnourished. The eyes
can only be feasted on vision-the
yearning nature can only be nurtur-
ed with promises. 1t must be a
strong system whose cohesive power
can long subsist off of such a diet,
and Cleveland must prove regular
Hercules if he can long keep off the
hungry horde, whose unrequited
persuasion is now changing to men,
ace, and next into ferocious, per-
sistent, and perhaps overwhelming
attack. The outs mean to 90 in, if
they GO over their official head.
