The Empress Frederick a, windsor.

LONDON, Nov. l9.-The royal yacht
bearing the Empress Frederick, Of Ger
many, and her daughters and the Prince
ot Wales reached Port Victoria this morn
ing. Queen Victoria and the Princesses
Louise and Beatrice left Windsor this
morning TO greet the Empress on landing.
They were joined at the Waterloo Station
OF the London & Southeastern Railway, in
London, by Count Won IIatzieldt, the Ger
man Ambassador, who accompanied them
TO Port Victoria and aiterward went with
them 70 Windsor. There was only small
crowd at the station on the arrival OF the
Queens train and there WAS no cheering
or uncovering Of heads The day was
overcast. The Empress landed shortly
after the arrival Of the royal train at Port
Victoria. When the greetings wcru over
the whole party boarded the train and
proceeded 20 Windsor, where they ar
rived this afternoon. The Queen and
Empress Frederick met in the Yachts
saloon. Tho meeting was affecting.
On the way 10 Windsor the train
stopped at the Waterloo station, and
Count Won llatzieldt alighted. The train
was moving on when the Queen remem.
bercd that she had omitted TO invite him
TO be her guest at Windsor, rs she had in
tended 10 do. Princess Beatrice therefore
called out from the window and the Duke
OF Cambridge from the platform OF the
car Count llatzfeldt, you will accom-.
pany us to Windsor" The Count bowed
his assent, but the train had started, and
he was compelled TO take later one. Ii
is evident the failure 10 invite him sooner
was m oversight, and that no slight was
intended.

the landlords masters of the land act and
masters Of the conditions for the sale OF
the land and the fortunes OF the tenants.
If the government had the tenants well
fare earnestly at heart; il, instead OF sup
porting landlords, they meant to relieve
distressed tenants, they would deal with
arrears instead OF pressing dangerous
measure which provided machinery for
preventing reduction OF rent and which
afforded facilities for augmentng rents and
multiplying evictions with all their horri-
bic incidents. He asked the House 10 in
tervene and prevent a recurrence of mis-.
chief too certain TO grief, perhaps, on
greatly augmented scale, under the gov
ernment's policy. Let them do Justice
to Ireland in the matter OF arrears.
lCheers.
Mr.. Goschen, Chancellor OF tho Ex-
chequer, denied that the Government was
pledged not to introduce controversial
measures during the winter session.
Mr.. Gladstone's statement that IL the
Government had asked Just sufficient to
keep the act in operation until the next
session, 1t would have been granted, was
incorrect. Steps were taken TO ascertain
whether such n proposal would be accept
able and the response did not encourage
the attempt. [lIear, hear The imme-
diate extension OF the Ashbourne act was
a necessity. 1t was desired by the tenants,
and he hoped the House and the country
would perceive that they were dealing
with land purchase, which was not incom-
patble with dealing with arrears. The
Government was prepared to deal with ar
rears in due course Of time. Hear, hear.
The suggestion that they were practically
assisting the landlords in conspiracy TO
allow the arrears to continue and TO en-
courage evictions was so absurd that IL
was scarcely worth answering. [Cheers
Mr.. O'Brien maintained that the bill
would make rich tenants richer, but leave
the poor colliers in the West in rs bad a
position rs ever. II was merely plan TO
shovel English gold into the pockets Of the
Irish landlords.
Mr.. Campbell Zimmerman, Liberal, Sc
verely censured the manner in which the
Government was thrusting the bill upon
the House. Before proposing the exten-
sion there ought 10 have been q select
committee to inquire into the working OF
the Ashbourne act.

Last Thursday a practical illustra-
ton of the hardship Of a worthy hero
who, by the cruel veto of special PEN
sion bill last winter, which passed both
houses of congress, is still dependent
upon the charity of friends, while he
should be receiving pension from the
government he rlsked his life TO save,
instead of suffering from poverty in his
old age. The sympathy OF all who saw
his wan face and observed his feeble
step was marked. Comrades OF Ferris
Post, &. A. r., No. 800, quartered him
at the American house over night. and
Friday sent him on his way rejoicing,
with a ticket to his home and money
enough in his pocket to secure the best
on the road until he should reach his
family.
The veterans name is Charles Les
ton of Lincoln, Nebraska, member OF
Erman post POS, G.. A. R., of that city.
He has been in a Chicago hospital since
| October, 1887. He submitted to an op-
Grafton last fall, and again about q
month since for the removal of tumoI
from the body below the navel caused

| Twelfth Indiana infantry, four years

burg and Fair Oaks, and spent three
months in AudersonVille. Mr.. LestoI
is sixty-three years of age, has large
family, but his term of service is nearly

"A UNION soldier by the name of
John Herbst was captured and i'm
prisoned at Andersonville. To escape
the almost certain death in that no
tOriOus prison pen he enlisted in the
confederate army, intending to es-
cape and join his fellows. He was
captured by union forces, and after
service a second time was honor
ably discharged, and died Of a disease
contracted in the service. Congress
saw fit to pension his widow, who is
poor and in need. President Cleve-
land vetoed the bill on the high pa
triOtic ground that the soldier at one
time deserted. He has been largely
applauded for the act by a certain
class; but they tail to mention that the
President turned right about from his
principle and appointed f. G. Arm
strong to the important post of Indian
Inspector. This man Armstrong was
also reported a deserter from the
union army. "He was a voluntary
deserter," says writer, Immediately
after the battle of Bull Run, and
served in the rebel army until the
close of the war" Does the Presi-
dent punish Herbst's widow because
her husband returned to his duty in
the ranks of the union army? If not,
why does he heap honOrs on Arm

TIE short-sighted policy of CleVe-
land and his henchmen is again being
shown in the many changes now being
made in the railway mail service, al
ready so VIGOROUSLY unserviceable.
Not only are these changes poor policy
so far as the service of the people is
concerned, but from a democratic
standpoint they are still poorer policy,
as each removal only makes bitter enc
mics of the person removed and also of
his friends, while it adds not one iota
of strength to the party, as in every
case only democrats of undoubted 10y
atty to the party are appointed. In
other words, each removal OF a repub-
lican or mugwump takes just so much
strength from the democracy and adds
it to the republicans, as an ofice-hold-
ing republican would not be likely to
be very active as politician against
the party in power, while after dismiss
sal he would have little else to do. AS
for the new arpointees, they will be of
less use to their party after than before
their appointment, as it takes all the
spare time of an average democrat to
learn his duties, and then he don't
know them.
