mons. last night. which was at exactly o'clock,
the Speaker. Ri Hon. Arthur W. Peel, left the
chair to partake of his usual chop or steak.
This afforded an opportunity for Mr.. Gladstone's
followers to express their appreciation of his
great oratorical effort in behalf of dr. Parnell's
amendment to the speech from the throne.
Hardly had the Speaker vacated the chair be-
fore all the Liberal members, as if by
preconcerted arrangement, rose from their seats
and sought the floor. where they formed around
the grand old man, and as many as could shook
him by the hand, while others gave round after
round of cheers The cheering kept up with
out the slightest cessation for fully fire minutes.
Mr. Gladstone bowed repeatedly, and was visi-
bly, affected by the demonstration in his honor It
was the most exciting scene Witnessed in the House

ANTI-sALOON REPUBLICANS.
A Call for National Convention. to Be Held
in the City of New York, April Is and 10.

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.-The ansi-sa1oon Re-
publcaus' national committee have issued call
for q national conference to be held in this city
on April Is and 19. next It's purpose 10 stated
to be:
To assure and signalze tho complete withdrawal
of the national Republican party from all completely
with the saloon nfamy and to emphasize its positive
antagonism thereto.
Their call, among other things. says
The ant-saloon Republican movement has now
reached magnitude aad momentum which not hing
can withstand 1t no longer pleads for hearing 1t
commands compliance Its purpose IS to place the ke
publican party where it belongspositively and finally
on the side of the home and the public safety,
against the saloon system and it's destructive work
This task is being accomplished more widely and
promptly than even the most sanguine expected. In
nearly every State under Republican control, where
saloons had not already been abolished outawed,
stringent repressve laws have recently been enacted
IN response the demand of the people.
Everywhere the best public opinion is reaching the
conclusion that the saloon system Is incurably
and lntoieraby bad and must be put out of existence
Wherever these laws prohbitive restrictive, have
been enacted they have brought complete and per-
the saloon. With local EXCEPTIONS which only prove
the rule the saloon has gone bodily TO the
Democratic side. It remains for the Republican
party formally to recognize and act upon this most
welcome event. to burn every remaining bridge be-
tween itself and the liquor interests to announce
thentcaly. its relentless hostility to the saloon
scourge, and its purpose make that hostility felt.
There is nothing be lost; there is everything
including honor, to be gained.

An Arrangement by w hich Consumer Are to
BE Robbed of $50, OOO, 900 Year.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON Feb. I8-Aceording to state
ments made by number OF Influential zen
here from the East, the House committee on
manufactures, which is investigating trusts, will
have a rich harvest if it will direct its attention
TO the sugar trust. 1t 10 said that the sugar
trust is the most impositious of all the unfair
corporations in existence. heard man say
on the subject to-day: ''n the advances just
made in the price of fine sugar maintained
for year it will net the refined sugar trust at
least sixty million dollars. This 10 pretty good
bull of the market for Of the staples Of life.
All of the refners are in this move, excepting
two or three, and. of course they naturally fol-
low the prices fixed by the trust. The advance
is cents pound, and whether in out of the
tain all the advances, as it is in the
interest of all refners to do so. But the
sugar trust proposes to 60 further. and is going
further. It proposes to burn the candle at both
ends That is to say, it can and has advanced
the price of refined sugar, and it can and has
duced the buying snd selling price Of raw sugar.
Cargoes Of raw sugar recently arrived at At
lantic ports, and especially at the port of New
York. and found no sale except at a reduction
amounting to an average of about cent
pound. The refners, therefore, control the
market for refined sugar as well as that for raw
sugar. The entire plant of the sugar reiners IN
this country can be duplicated for considerable
less than 500. 000. 900. The capital of the sugar
trust is $780, 000 900, and the stock to-day in New
York is selling at 85 cents on the
dollar If the price of refined sugar
and the control Of the market for raw sugars
can be maintained as now, the trust can make
at least $50, 900. 600 within the next six months
and within the year sec, 600 000 two years $780,.

continued the gentleman, that the Pacific and
other land-grant railroads have made good
thing out of the governments open-handed gen.
erosity, but it will be hard to find any other in
dustry or enterprise. under the laws. by which
few individuals can by raising the price of an
article of necessity, pocket for themselves $780,
600, 600, and take so much out of the pockets of
the consumer. It fact, the question is wherein
does this sugar trust serve the cause of the con-
sumner by reducing the price of refined sugar?
The only purpose seems to be to conserve the in
terest OF the refiners."

that whenever he got mellow he grew

The Protest and the Reformation.

There sometimes appears to be a
Woful confusion, in the minds of those
who ought to know better, of the
Protest with the Reformation. His
torically the connection between the
two does not by any means appear
so very plain. Intact, forsome years
the Protestant Church of England
was still completely unreformed.
Henry VIII. wrote against and per-
secuted reformers; yet Henry VIII.
was undoubtedly the first Protestant
monarch of England, the first who
asserted, to it's full logical conclu-
sion, the independence Of Papal au-
thority which had been claimed by
English kings as early as William
the Conqueror.
According to the Dictate" of Greg
DRY VII, the famous Hildebrand,
kings only reign as fefs of the Pope
he is set over the secular powers,
and is liable to dethrone sovereigns
and to absolve subjects from their
allegiance; he can depose bishops
without synodical sanction. 1t is
curious to notice, from recent ser
mon of Cardinal Manning, that this
eminent ultramontane holds that
such powers still divinely inhere in
the bishopric of Rome, though the
stress of external persecution pre-
vents their exercise. Professionals, as
such, merely repudiate these claims.
The Reformation in England owed
much Of it's success to the Protest,
but it is not an Identical, twas
scarcely even a contemporary move
ment. 1t was, humanity speaking, a
distinctly intellectual reaction. tt
resulted Immediately from the new
light brought by the revival of let
tiers, particularly from the study of
Greek, and the new means of interpre-
tation which a knowledge of the
original tongue of the New Tesla,

There is no foundation whatever for the

quarters and elsewhere that Cleveland and
Thurman enjoy a lighting chance of carrying
states hitherto neekoned as safe in the Re-

yass think that talk of this sort is indispeu-
sable as a certificate of party loyalty. Far
from justitying the childish imaginings of
these clipper prognostieators, the returns
from those northern states where there has
already been voting, prove that the advan-
tage is slightly with the republicans. The
story is the same in Oregon, Vermont, and

Thackeray's Letters.

From the Arkansaw Traveller.
The Wagonville Tire of recent date
contains the following under the head
of Literary News:
"a man named Thackeray is now
writing letters for scrlbner's Maya
zine, a copy of which has reached us.
In some places, where the printers
have not been able to read the copy,
the manuscript has been runin, which
we think ls q sharp piece of satire
against the correspondent, who, it tap
pears to US, is not very particular.
Mr.. Thackeray, we believe, is an Eng
lishman and is trying to make a rep
utatlon as q, humorist, but we have
written g. good many articles for the
Tire that are heap funnier, and vet
the newspapers throughout the coun-
try have paid no attention to them.
We sent one of these articles to scrib-
ners Magazine, and, although they
were endorsed by the County Judge
and Deputy Sheriff A1cWhalen, who is
about as good Judge Of a joke as any
man IN Bumton county, yet it was
thrown aside to make room for a lot
of those horse chestnuts sent IN by
Thackeray We do hot print this to
stir up strife, but to let our people
know that the magazines are not aft

to know the reasons why.

hearts like hell of fire. And now
followed the usual sequence OF events
rapine. cruelty, and extortion; on
~ this time there was no town to
ransom, for Morgan had given orders
that it should be destroyed. The
torch was set to it, and Panama, one
OF the creates tclties in the New World,
was swept from the face OF the earth.
Why the deed was dons,s no man but
Morgan could tell. Perhaps it was
that all the secret hiding places for
treasure might be brought to light;
put Whatever the reason was, it lay
hidden in the breast OF the great bue-
cancer himself. For three weeks Morgan
and his men abided IN this dreadful
place; then they marched away with
one hundred and SEVENTH beasts
Of burden loaded with treasures OF
gold and silver and jewels, besides
great quantities of merchandise, and
six hundred prisoners held for ran
som.
Whatever became Of all that vast
wealth, and what it amounted to, no
man but Morgan ever knew, for when
q division was made it was found that
there was only two hundred pieces of
eight to each man.
When this dividend was declared, a
howl OF execration went up, under
which even Captain Henry Morgan
quailed. At night he and four other
commanders slipped their cables and
ran out to sea, and it was said that
these divided the greater part OF the
booty amongst themselves. But the
wealth plundered at Panama
could hardly have fallen short
OF q million and half dol
lars. Computing it at this reason
able figure, the various prizes won by
Henry Morgan in the West Indies
would stand as follows: Panama,
100000; Porto Bello, sSOO,OOO;
Puerto del Principe, 100000; Mara
caybo and Gibraltar, $500, 900; vari-
Gus plracies, $780, OO-making a.
grand total of So, $500 as the vast
harvest ofplunder. With this fabu-
lous wealth, wrenched from the Span
lards by means OF the rack and the
cord, and pilfered from his compan-
ions by the meanest OF theiving, Cap.
tain Henry Morgan retired from bust
ness, honored of all, rendered famous
by his deeds, knighted by the good
King Charles H., and finally appoint
ed Governor of the rich island OF
jamaica.
Other buccaneers followed him.
Campeche was taken and sacked, and
even Cartagena itself fell; but with
Henry Morgan eliminated the glory
OF the buccaneers, and from that time
they declined in power and wealth
and wickedness until they were finally
swept away.
