LISBON, May 23.-The wedding pro-
cession in honor of the approaching mar
riage of the Princess Amelie D'Orleans and
the Crown Prince of Portugal took place to-
day, and was most imposing affair.
When the procession reached the church it
was met by twelve of the oldest marquses
of the kingdom. who supported a canopy
under which the king and queen passed to
the entrance of the church. The interior
of the edi6ce was richly decorated, and
chandeliers brilliantly Illuminated the
scene. The church was crowded with
members of the royal family, press
diplomats, members of the chamber of
deputies and other distinguished persons.
The patriarch of Lisbon officiated, and at
the conclusion of the service and ceremonies
salutes were fired from the forts and the
men of war in the harpor, and the bells of
all the churches in the city rang out their
merriest music. The weather was beautiful
and the streets were crowded with cheering
citizens. Tonight the city is Illuminated.
and bands are parading the streets. playing
the national airs of France and Portugal.
Many fetes are being arranged. The count
and countess of Paris have decided to re-
main in Lisbon until the 9th inst. From
here they will go to Madrid. deferring their
return to France for some time.

LOGAN,S ROOK.

This is the age of much book-making,
bnt in the whole range of modern literature
there has not been production which has
had so fat fall as Gen. LoGAN's book.
And it is not doing the author an injustice
to say there has been none which so richly
merited its fate as this wretched book. 1t
is the product of an insane partyism which
is shameful in this enlightened age. To his
disordered vision free-trader is a
conspirator and public enemy, whom he de-
nounces as the natural descendant of the
secessionist, bent on destroying the republic,
as the nullihers were. This statement is
so grossly false that even one critic, who is
disposed to speak as favorably of the book
as can be done, says that this ignorance on
the part Of the author is so dense as to
make his elevation to the United States
senate reproach to every citizen of
Illinois,

THE PRESIDENT LICKED.

President CLEVELAND has finally been
compelled to yield to the force of newspa-
per argument. When the newspapers
started out to marry him off the president
became indignant and instituted a sort of
boycott against the whole journalistic gang.
But with their characteristic pertinacity the
newspapers stuck to 1t that the president
was going to be married, and went ahead
selecting the bride, fixing the date, and ar
ranging the details for the interesting cere-
mony. The president had his backbone stiff
fened and determined to whip the newspapers
out. The president is plucky and makes a
good fight. He was never more determined
In anything in his life than he was to down
the newspapers in this contest. But it was
no go. The newspapers have been too
much for him, and like an honorable man
he throws up the sponge when he is
whipped. He now signifies his intention
to let the marriage go on according to the
schedule that the newspapers mapped out
three months ago. It is now semi-officially
announced that the wedding is to
take place on the 10th of June unless
the bride-elect postpones the date when she
reaches home and learns of her grand
fathers death. There is no doubt that the

young lady has been very dutiful grand
daughter and has any amount of respect for
the memory of her dead relative. But
when the,first pangs of grief that will come
with the intelligence of the old gentleman's
death are over, and the young lady comes
to think the matter over she will decide
that If her grandfather's wishes in the
matter could be expressed they would
be in favor of having the marri-
rage ceremony performed on the day that
the newspapers have fixed for it. In fact,
Godfather Folsom stood in with the news
papers in their struggle with the president.
He was always in favor of having the we'd
ding go off according to the plan arranged
by the newspapers. In view of these facts
it is safe to predict that in less than a
month the president of the United States
will be the happy husband of most estim-
able young woman.

oNEIN A THOUSAND.

To the Editor of the Globe:
Please correct your special from your st.
Vincent correspondent in regard to me, in the
GLoBE of the l4th inst.
don't want any political office at present.
PETER DAILY.
NorIhcote, MINI.
In Difference to Mr. DALY'S request, the
above declination of Office is given to the
reading public. While it is to be regretted
that the st. Vincent correspondent should
have misrepresented Mr.. DAILY, the regret
Is dssipated and gradually merged into a
feeling of admiration for the man who
comes out openly and boldly, and asserts
that he does mot want any political office
at present." Mr.. DAILY not only believes
that the office should seek the man, but he
believes that the man should, at the first
mention of his name, make known the fact
that he does not, at present want the office,
and thereby give the party chance to look
up another desirable candidate.
uIf there were more PETER DAIYs through
out the United States how much better and
purer the political atmosphere would be-
come. At the outset of political cam
paign the rank and file of the party would
know the exact candidates to be voted for
and would know that when man was
named for any place his silence rem
dered him a candidate and his refusal to
run was essential to withdraw him from
the list of aspirants. If this was only Gus
tomary it would be possible to tell just
where man stood and the voters could
therefore act intelligently.
Mr.. DALY's manly course in the premises
is to be commended on another score, and
that is that the phraseology of his little card
shows clearly that he has not foresworn
politics. 1t also shows that he does not
stand aloof from the ordinary affairs of the
political world, but in a straightforward
way furnishes the information that his lack
of political desires is confined to the pres
ent. He says, to use his own language,
81 don't want any political Office at pres
ent.'
The conclusion is inevitable that at some
future time the circumstances will be such
that he may find it agreeable and expedi-
ent to consent to run for some office within
the gift of the people, and, if the people are
not recreant to all the finer feelings OF APP
probation, they will see to it that when the
returns come in his vote is on the right side
of the majority line.
Mr.DALY's declination can be commended
to all beginners in the political field as a
sample of manly simplicity and honesty.
He makes no pretenses about being called
out by the people. but wishes correction
of an article in which his name is IN en-
toned in connection with political office
which he does not want at present. 1t is
refreshing to find man, in this age of of
fee holding and Office seeking, who will
decline anything. And when he combines
with that becoming modesty a command of
the simplest language that withdraws him
from the present campaign without COM
hitting him to future canvasses. mis- desira-
bility is enhanced and intensified. Long
live PETER DAILY.

RANDY MISUNDERSTOOD.
He Explains to Gladstone His r
mn rlE 9 nm IrlSro.


LONDON, May 24.-Lord Randolph
Churchill, in a letter to Mr.. Gladstone.
says:
Il regret that I was absent from the house
of commons on the occasion of your speech
on the 2lst INST From reports observe that
you completely Inexperienced the meaning
of certain remarks Of mine ON recent occasions
in regard to Ulster Loyalsts, and consequently
pronounced an impressive condemnation of
my opinions referred to. You will not con-
slider me wanting in respect when ] assert
that you completely misstated my doctrine.
My opinion that an inevitable result of es-
tablishing parliament in Dublin such as
your government proposes will be civil
war harmonlzeS with opinions expressed by
an overwhelming majority of the public men
of England competent to give Judgment and
almost any person in ireland of ex-
perience, position and responsibility. More
over, it is the unanimous and inmoyable
conviction of the whole Prot estant commun-
ity of Ulster. My close examination of the
position led me to the conclusion that the
Ulster Loyalists are justified in contending
that such a parliament at Dublin would be
composed OF National leaguers, who in the
GUIsE OF A PARLIAMENT
would be more tyrannical than in the past
l do not hesitate to say that should their
faces be realized the Loyalists would be JUS
titled in resisting by force of arms
such monstrous yoke. If the pro-
lection of tue imperial parliament should
be withheld, the Loyalists would be in duty
bound compelled to protect themselves. I
also contended that parliament has no
moral right to divest itself of its
responsibilities toward Ulster Loyal
ists,. nor transfer the allegiance of
Loyalists to what must to them be not only a
foreign, but hostile body, without the full
and free consent of the Loyalists
themselves. Such has been my doc
trine, elevated into constitutional law by
the action of the Wings against the
arbitrary government of James IL Nor can
it be doubted that the action of the leapuers
through the parliament would be far mo re
awful than that of James II. would have been
upon England. never urged resistance other
than r1gidly constitutional one, and if /
had any influence 1 would exert it ut any
sacrifice to prevent the line being over
stepped. I declared that in that struggle
the right and would clearly be
entitled to the sympathy and support of the
British people. This is what I would have
tried to say in the house of commons. l feel
confident that you will admit that your
description OF nay doctrine was entirely mac
curate and erroneous, and that nothing in
the above is inconsistent with an ex-minister
of the crown and prime councillor
Mir. Gladstone has replied to Lord Ran
dolph Churchill as follows:
greatly regret if have rnisrepresented
your statements. My words rested mainly on
your speech in Ulster and the closing para
graph OF your letter to Mr.. Young of the 7th
inst. To the latter 1 am constrained TO an
ply the same words I expressed III parlia-
ment.

Labouchere ON lhe situations.

LONDON, May 24.-Mr. Labouehere
writes to the Daily News:
There is not a single Wing, Liberal or Rad
ical who has announced his intention to vote
against Mr.. Gladstones bill whose action has
been Endorsed by portion of his constituency
who sent him to parliament. Not one even
pretends to be acting in harmony with his
electors. 1t cannot possibly be said that
the Liberals as party are opposed to the bill
or are disunited because certain number of
commoners decline to act as representatives
of their electors aud appeal to the Conserva-
tives to support them in the coming election.
Under these circumstances approves of the
principle of the bill should realize that they
are not justified in asking concession, which, if
made could not be granted to a section of the
Liberals, but to gentlemen in antagonism
with their party. Mr.. Labouchere estimates
that forty Liberal seceders are in favor of the
principle of the bill, but from the influence
of the Chamberlain clique fear
to meet Mr.. Gladstone frankly and
fairly half way in an endeavor to remove
objections. He urges them to act for them
selves instead of submitting to those who de-
sire TO overthrow Mr.. Gladstone. He be-
lleves that method can be easily found to
enable them to vote for the second reading
without sacrificing their convictions.

A GOOD DEAL OF CASH
Outpummeled by an Engine.

HARRISBURG, Pa, May 23.-Henry
Bender of this city and Truman Ormsbee
of Philadelphia had quarrel at disrepu-
table house in this city last night
which eliminated early this morn
ing in a fight on the Cumberland
Valley railroad track. While they

engine struck and knocked them down.
The men clinched and were pushed along
the track together about twelve feet before
the engine could be stopped. Bender was
badly bruised and cut about the head and
legs, and was squeezed so tightly that SER
ious internal injuries are feared One of
Ormsbee's legs was severely injured, and
he sustained other hurts. The Philadel-
phian attributes the accident to whisky and
women.

o'clock tonight an oil lamp exploded in the
barber shop of the steamer Dean

ALMOST LYNCHED.
The Narrow Escape of a Nebraska
Railroad Builder.
Special to the Globe.

OMAHA, Neb., May eS.--George Kill
patrick of Fitzpatrick Bros, railroad build
ers, narrowly escaped hanging yesterday
afternoon in Muckolls county at the hands
of 125 railroad faborers, who insisted
that he should pay the debts of a
sub-contractor. Fitzpatrick Bros. have the
contract for building the Burlington 81
Missouri branch between Superior and Mel
son, which they sub-let to another con-
tractor. On Friday Fitzpatrick, on reaching
Superior found the men angy because the
sub-contractor had not paid them for last
month. They seized Fitzpatrick, put him
under guard and told him if their pay was
not forthcoming by Saturday night
they would hang him to couple of wagon
poles, which they rugged up for that
purpose. Yesterday noon Capt. Pimeo. a
Burlington 81 Missouri detective, and the
sheriff of Nuckolls county. with posse of
sixty men armed with shotguns, marched
to the camp and demanded the release
of Fitzpatrick in five minutes, otherwise
they would open fire upon them. Kilpat-
rick broke loose just at this time from his
oaptors and ran over to his rescuers. No
urther demonstrations were made.

A WHOLESOME EXAMPLE.

The conviction and incarceration in the
state prison of JAEHNE, the aldermanic
bribe-taker, will have mole wholesome
effect in purifying public morals than even
the breaking up of the TWEED ring. 1t is
true that JAEHNE was not the bonanza
scoundrel that old TWEED was, and his
conviction did not create as much of pub
lie sensation as the exposure of the TWEED
corruption. But JAEHNE's rascality was
of that kind which is more prev
alent in municipal governments
than TwEED's. The TWEED ring
was an organization which required a
master genius to conduct successfully. The
JAEHNE villainy was of the kind which any
kind of a nincompoop who can get into a
public Office can practice. The JAEHNEs
are more of curse to society than the
TwEEDS, because they are more common.
Bribery is the most common vice in official
life, and particularly in municipal govern
ments. 1t must be common vice when
only two members of the whole New York
aldermanic board declined to accept
JACOB SHARP's bride when offered.
So common has it become that men with
itching palms seek office for the sole pur-
pose of making commerce of their position.
The indictment of the New York alder
manic gang, and the prompt conviction of
JAEHNE after his arrest, is going to have
most salutary effect in driving the profess
sional bribe-taker out of public life. 1t is
now demonstrated that no matter how skill
fully the crooked official covers his tracks he
cannot elude the clutches of the law. Aid.
JAEHNE in Sing Sing is more
useful man than he ever was in public
Office. His striped suit is the signal to all
official offenders to step down and out and
give honest men a chance. Now that it
is known that the penitentiary is the un-
erring destiny of the bride taker, there will
not be so many scoundrels seeking Office.

NEW YORK. May 23.-It was said at the
Office of the board of domestic missions Of
the Reformed church of the United States,

Mr.. Smith, as treasurer, was empowered to
issue notes of the board from time to
time to meet its requirements. and these
notes were taken up as funds came
into the treasury. He made use of this
authority to issue notes for his own pur-
poses. These notes were for various sums
ranging from 5000 to $4,000. He
negotiated through his personal
friends and acquaintance. He ayerted
