close of the elections early in December. Lord
Salisbury will deliver the final manifesto of the
Conservative party, at the dinner of the St
Stephens Club, tomorrow evening.
The Parnel manifesto has fallen fat. Most
of the Liberal newspapers have passed it by with
out comment, while the Conservative press cri-
cize it in a sighting manner.
Mr.. Parnell, in speech at Liverpool to-day
said he indorsed every word of the Irish mani
festo. The Gladstone government. he said, were
the authors of the coercion act, measure that
rendered life and liberty unsafe, and at the mo-
ment of their downfall they were contemplating
the renewal of the worst clauses of that act The
Conservatives, on the other hand, had partially
restored liberty. Every Irishman who voted
with the Liberals would help to relegate Ireland
to chains, imprisonment and DEATH
The Marquis of Salisbury has written an i'm
portant letter on the Irish question. In it he
says that Mr. Gladstone is shilly shallying, and
adds: make the support of the church test
question above all Others" He makes scathing
analysis of what he terms Mr.. Gladstone's oppor-
tunism. The letter is certain to exercise an inn
mense influence, and may possibly secure to the
Conservatives majority of the Liberal church
mems votes.

PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA.
Lively interest in the Local Option Contest
Now Pending at Atlanta.

ATLANTA. Ga, Nov. 2l-On Wednesday next
will close the most remarkable contest ever car.
ried on in any Southern city, when Atlanta will
decide whether the sale of liquor shall be pro-
hbited or not. For ten years temperance agita-
ton has been carried on in Georgia, which has
so far succeeded that now, out of 1877 counties of
the State, the sale of liquor is only permitted in
fifteen. These fifteen counties are the 5eats of
large cities, where the liquor element has large
property at stake. The business interests of
the large cities was always strong enough to
prevent the passage of such local option acts. so
far as they were themselves concerned. hence
the Legislature passed general loca-option
bill, under which the ordinaries of the
counties were required to order elections
upon the petition of given number of
citizens The first city to which this was ap-
piled was Atlanta. An election on the question
was ordered by Ordinary Calhoun, on the petit
tlon of $500 voters, to take place Nov 25. Then
begun a canvass which has developed most re-
markable features. The highest vote ever cast
even in presidential year, was a little over
5000. The registration in this election has run
up to 5000. The Prohibi:ionists organized a
strong committee, backed by nearly all the
preachers in the city, with Senator Colquitt
District Attorney B. II. Hill, and other promi-
nent men actively at work The brunt of battle,
however, has fallen on the shoulders of Rev. j.
B. Hawthorne, the celebrated Baptist preacher
Rev. Sam JONES' Rev. A. c. Haygood Rev
w. H. FELTON, and others have for ten days been
addressing audiences of from 5000 to
5000 in Sam Jones's gospel tent
The anti-Prohibtionists have been equally
active, being led by Julius Brown. Hon. Albert
Cox, and many others. They have been partic-
ularly active in committee work The most re-
markabe political feature of the campaign has
been the breaking of party and color lines. The
meetings of both parties are attended by white
and black, and earnest efforts have been made
by both sides to capture the colored voters for
this purpose, have speakers of both sides ad
dressed large bodies of colored men, but they
have imported prominent colored speakers. such
as Bishop Campbell of Philadelphia: Bishop
Turner. and ex-Congressman jeff Long. The
ladies' too, have taken up the contest with vigor.
In word, every element of society. all ages,
sex and colors are stirred up, and nothing else is
talked of but prohibition. The general feeling is
thatf Atlanta goes for prohibition. the movement
will spread thrOuphOut all the Southern States

THE MUGWUMP.
A Low Estimate Placed Upon, Accompanied
by Good Reasons Therefor.

"A Low Estimate Placed Upon, Accompanied
by Good Reasons Therefor.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Nov. PAT no place in the
country is that hybrid, the mugwump more
thoroughly disrespected among people of politics
and official relations than here. It is here that
the despicable phase of the mugwump is OBJ
served; that of changing front for gain in office.
Nothing is so distasteful in the eyes of men as
the reputation of party for the sole purpose Of
being retained in Office. Most of those who have
renounced Republicanism that they could retain
their official positions were those who have long
been fed al the kitchen of the party just retired
from power. While there were hundreds Of
straight-out Democrats who held positions under
Republican rule, and who retained as Demo-
Gratis, no aspersion attaches to them in any di-
rection. Most Of the men who now hold places
in the departments here above the ranks pro-
tected by the civil service law, are kept on ac-
count of proof of mugwumpery. They have
renounced the party that gave them place SO
long and have espoused the cause of the ny brids.
The present superintendent of the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing-the late Assistant
Treasurer Graves-is marked instance Of con-
version to the mugwump cause. Mr. Graves, it
may be truthfully said, is not at this time
very popular quantity with either party For
many years Graves fed at the trough of the
Treasury Republican of the true blue"
variety. He was credited with very firm Republi-
can principles, and with assisting his party with
all his abilities to win success each campaign
1t stands to reason that he would not have been
taken into the confidence of his party had he
not led his sponsors to believe he was a faith
full member of it. Now Mr.. Graves is mug
wump-a full-grown mugwump of the kicking
school. He has renounced his Republican fealty,
and was given the place he now occupies through
mugwump influence. In his ardent efforts TO
improve his standing with the party Ahe
now serves. he does his old Republican
friends injustice. He announced few days ago
that he had saved, since he assumed charge of
the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, very
large sum of money which was named IN the
proclamation. Inquiry reveals the fact that the
Saving" comes from two sources--the dismissal
of employees and the giving 0ut to contract
certain government work. The greatest saving
made in the discharge of employees was that of
the guides who have shown visitors through the
Bureau. That discharge was at the direction of
the late Assistant Secretary Coon. still a firm
Republican. The other employees dismissed were
few poor scrub women, laboring women who
made from $l5 to $25 per month. The contract
for doing the printing, which was taken away
from the Bureau, and which shows the real
decrease in the expenses Of the bureau-the
'saving"-was the work of Republicans.
By the time two or three more biennial cam
paigns are over, it is believed, the mugwump
will be only tradition.

INDIGNATION IN CANADA.
Friends of Riel Hold Meetings and Engage in
DenunciatiOn of the Government.

QUEBEC Nov. pa meeting, called to ex-
press indignation at the execution OF Riel, held
at Lewis to-day, drew an immense crowd. Eff
gies were burned, and flags inscribed GLORY to
the hero and martyr Rei" death to John Nc
Donald, and "Hurrah for Rel" were displayed.
The greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The Hon.
N. Pelletier called upon all to unite, and said
war had been opened by the Orangemen in
Sherbrooke, in attacking the Nationalists there.
NJ. Desijardens, Conservative member of Par
lament, said protest against the execution of
Rel, representing 1900, 900 French Canadians,
was sent to the government, but not recognized,
and the threatened rupture had now come
between the government and the province of
Quebec. He reminded Sir John Mcdonald of
the burning of the Parliament House in Mon
treal in 1s49, and latterly ofthe scafold of Riel
Other prominent men made strong speeches
against the government.
Owen Murphy, mayor, Messrs. Lemeux
ana Fitzpatrick the Hon. p Garneau and 9TH
ers addressed the indignation meeting held last
night, at which 300 electors were present.
Another indignation meeting held at
Charesbourg, the constituency Of Hon. Mr..
Caron, this afternoon. There were g. 900 persons
present In point of forcible speeches and en-
thusiasm, the meeting almost surpassed any OF
the kind held. Hon. A. p. Carou was loudly de-
nounced. and imprecations were uttered against
him. He had been invited to be present, but
did not appear
Beaufort, tonight, was also the scene of an
indignation meeting which was equally as loud
in protestatons and denunciations as any of the
other meetings.
AT Montreal the Rev. Father Dowd, at st.
Patricks Church to-day, advised his flock to
have nothing to do with the new national party,
which, he said. would lead them to disaster.
The long talked-of meeting on the Montreal
Champ de Mars by the French Canadians, was
held this afternoon, about ten thousand persons
being present. There were three platforms at
each of which the French flag foated. There
were between thirty and forty speakers wto,

IhlngS which Enemies of the Civil-Service
Rules Should Consider.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WAsHINGToN, Nov 22--It is reported here
that a large number of Western Democratic
representatives and several senators are prepar-
ing sulpEuric philipics against the civilservice
policy of the administration, to be delivered dur
ing the approaching session of Congress. 1t is
safe to say that three-fourths of these fiery es-
says will never see daylight, for when their au.
thors arrive here they will find very different
atmosphere from that which they inhaled while
consoling with the boys at home who failed to
get Offices IN consequence of President Cleve-
lands devotion to civil-service reform. Under
the latter circumstances, it is very
easy to wag the tongue, and
heap brmstony and profane expletives
upon the Presidents head, but when the fiery
Democratic Mirabeau gets here he soon finds
out that if he delivers that greatest effort of
his lfe' he will sink at once to the leyel of

leaders of his own party and looked upon with
contempt by his political opponents
No representative or senator can afford to put
himself in such position as this threatened at

for his influence would be vanished and his con-
stituents would not be represented at all.

A Late Ruling Which Will Have Very I'M
portant Effects.

WAsHINGroN Nov. 22-Commissioner Sparks
has recently made ruling which is probably
destined to have an important influence upon the
course of transactions in public lands He has
decided, in substance, that the Communication of
homestead is, in effect and in law, a turning Of
the entry into pre-emption. and as such is
illegal, when the claimant has previously had the
benefit of the presumption law. Since the pass
age of the homestead law it has become the al
most universal practice for settlers to take
claims under both this and the pre-emption act
1t has been customary to take up the pre- emp
ton and ''tree claim" at once. and, after the
lapse of the shortest necessary interval, to
mortgage the former for enough to pay the
government price of it. when, having Sc
cured title the settler was at liberty
to move away and take the benefit of the home
stead law. This ruling of the Commissioner is
calculated to put end to this practice 1t
leaves the settler the right to secure either a
pre-emption homestead, III addition to his
tree claim" and. as far as the ruling itself
goes, leaves him the right to secure pre- emp
tion claim in the usual way, and then secure a
homestead by living on the land for five years 1t
