JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, President O

JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN, President of
the English Local Board, was visited
recently bya deputation of unemployed
workingmen. who stated their griev-
ances End asked what the Government
meant TO do TO relieve the prevailing
distress. Chamberlain deprecated riots
and all similar forms Of disturbance to
manifest the need of help. He said he
was opposed to emigration as means
of relief unless the distress was
chronic. This opposition was based
on many grounds. not the least of
which was the fact that the colonies
would refuse to welcome large num-
bers of paupers. because among other
reasons their influx would cheaper the
labor market. Chamberlain added that
he hoped the Government would soon
be able to establish the British laborer
upon the soil he titled.

The vast extent of British COM
merce is indicated by the fact that no
day passes without some British vessel
being lost with all its crew. Indeed,
the statistics for the month Of Novem-
Der show a much greater average loss
than this. for during its thirty days no
fewer than seventy-four ships, with all
on board, persisted. This constitutes a
tremendous toll, but, having the carry
ing trade of the world chiefly in her
hands, Britannia is able to bear the
strain.

She knows nothing Of the art Of cookery.
and never proposes to learn the art, ex-
ccpt circumstances force her to it; as for
instance, she marries some young blood
who turns out to be poorer than church
mouse, and therefore she has to do with
out cook. Then she goes into the
kitchen, and, with good deal of grunt-
ing and inger-burning, manages to scare
up meal barely fit for a dog. The
girl of to-day belongs to the parlor.
You can always find her there when she
is not lying abed or shooting through
the principal housekeeping. Her
education consists Of few lessons in
grammar, Latin, music and drawing.
She completes nothing. A year after
she graduates she remembers nothing
but her school flrtations. As must
clan she is a nuisance. She studies
music not as an art, but as an accom-
plshmcnt. The result is that she not
only succeeds in numbering music, but
the poor victims who are often compelled
to listen to her are made sufferers, too.

HON. JAMES G. BLAINE.
He Halts in Boston and Talks of Temperance
Legislation in Pennsylvania and New York.
HALTER AND FURRIER,

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BOSTON, Oct ,15.-Mr. Blaine, who was here
to-day, on his way to Pennsylvania, was asked
in that State. He said: "It is about the
same as it was in Maine. The
prohibitory party are creating havoc in, and are
determined to destroy the Republican
party. I speak in Pennsylvania
with much more ease than I can in
any other State, for the reason that the
Republicans have put plank in their platform
advocating the submission of the prohibition
question to popular vote. 1t is the only pro-
per way to decide the question. 1t is what we
did in Maine in 1853 and can tell them in
Pennsylvania how it worked in Maine"
i. "How about New York State!"
"It is little different there. I presume if the
question was submitted to popular vote it
reason why the temperance fanatics op-
pose such proposition. 1t is true
that the Republican party has never
formally advocated prohibition in its platform,
but every law that has tended in any way to
suppress the liquor traffic in the State has been
passed by Republican legislatures. remember
an anecdote that Gov. Seymour told me, which
bears on the very question, and which is by the
way, against prohibition Seymour was con-
versing with Mr. Delevan, of Albany, about
the effect of absolute prohibition in New
York Now said Mr.. Seymour, suppose
we had community in the State
where the sale of intoxicating drinks was
absolutely prohibited, where everybody had all
the food they wanted, and all the clothing they
wanted But you are talking elysium now, in
terposed Mr. Delevan. But that's the kind OF
community you are striving to create isn't itp
Yes, perhaps So, replied Mr. Deevan. WELL
said Seymour, we have 2. 200 of just such people
as those in Sing Sing Dslevan saw the point"
"Do you think the Prohibition party move
ment much more dangerous than the labor
movements" inquired the interviewer.
Yes. for the reason that the former tends to
disrupt and destroy the Republican party. 1t is
the strangest thing to me why the third party
men think that we are fighting temperance,
when we are for it."

A FAMOUS DECISION REVERSED.
The New York Court of Appeals Orders a New
Trial in the Dwight Insurance Case.

NEW York, Oct. 10 In November, 1883, Col
and from no apparent cause. He was large,
healthy appearing man. in the prime of life. A
few days later it was found that his life had
been insured for over a quarter of million
Dwight was real estate speculator had been
Mayor Of the town, and was its most prominent
and popular man. AT the time of his death he
was bankrupt By q strange coincidence he
died the day before the various premiums in the
companies he was insured in fell due. All of
the companies refused to pay, save the Equita-
BILE, for the reason that it was supposed he had
committed suicide. The rest pooled their Issues
and stood by the Germania Life, against which
test suit was brought.
Drs Swinburne and Porter, of Albany, and
DR.. Austin Flint, of this city, favored the theory
of suicide Dr. Swinburne swore stoutlv that
Dwight committed suicide by hanging, and red
mark on the back of his neck indicated such
death. The prosecution endeavored to prove
that the red mark was made by resting Dwights
neck on a wooden block after he was dead. The
public interest manifested in the case was un-
precedentcd. The whole town of Binghamton
was up in arms against the insurance companies
Dwight, in his will, had left legacies to almost
every public man IN town, and many char liable
bequests. A change of venue was obtained, and
the case tried in the adjoining county. The jury
brought in verdict for the full amount, with
costs, which wero in the neghborhood of $40 O00
The jury had been out six days.
Many of the companies made settlements upon
this decision. The Germania Life brought the
csse to the Court of Appeals William NJ Evarts
and Collector Daniel Magone being retained to
perfect the appeal. The principal grounds were
that Dwight had deceived the company IS to the
state Of his health when he insured The Court of
Appeals reversed the decision of the lower court,
and ordered new trial.
