TALIArIoN MESSAGE.
AT Cheltenham Beach, where the mass-meeting
and barbecue took place Saturday afternoon under
the auspices OF the Cook County, Ill, democracy,
Judge Thurman was introduced by ex-senator
Trumbull and delivered ti-protection speech,
very much the same as his address at Port Huron
Before touching the tarfr question he referred to
| the Presidents message on retaliation. saying:
some years ago this country was greatly agitated
by party Called the knownoth1ng party. II was
a party to whom the Irtshman was an abomina-
t1on Of abolainations, and II he were a Catholic
those men who few years ago were Knownorh-
ings and the most abusive OF men OF the Irish OF
the German, and OF all foreign-born people but OF
the Irishman especially, are seeking 10 court what
is called the Irish vots TO get the Irish to vote
against the men who stood nrm by them In the
defense OF their rights Now they are seeking to
land and asserting that he Is under British InIu-
ence. My friends, there never was more false
Cleveland is under British influence You might
as well undertake to tell the that Washington was

that there is anything In that charge worth inves
ugatng ell have TO say TO him Is read the Presi-
and II you can then say that he is under British
Influence you say tnat white Is black and black
is white. [Cheers and great applause
Mr.. Thurman then went on In his familiar strai
of argument that tarin taxes increase by thel
amount the cost TO the consumer or all articles
upon which they are laid. He spoke OF the Treas
ury surplus as inviting corruption and extrava-
gance In the Government and referred TO bills now
pending in Congress to appropriate $50, 600 900
sHbstantating mis- statement In that way the
Government might take 500 900 600 rrCm the peo-
pie and sQuander II, but that was not the kind OF
Government which the founders or the republic
contemplated. During the delivery eI his speech
he was much interrupted by the noise OF railway
trains, and eventually Came TO an earlier coDclu-
had fna

The condition of people in some Mime

exc out precarious existence. There
have been three deaths from freezing At

The death of Mrs. Mary Mann, the Fair
lee centenarian, which took place last
Thursday, recalls the undisputed claim that
the first steamboat ever built and success
fully operated was Capt. Samuel Morey's
on the Connecticut river and not Robert
Fulton's on the Hudson. Mrs. Mann was
102 years and two months old at her death
and one of her recollections was that when
ON her wedding journey, bride of 10, she
took a ride ON a small boat on the Connect
icut which was propelled by steam. This
was Capt. Morey's boat, its inventor and
owner living in Oxford, n. H., across the
river from Farlee 1t was in 1898 that
Fulton and Livingston's experiments in
steam navigation first began to attract at
tention, but five years before this Capt
Morey began his experiments, and it was
these which gave the later experimenters
their first practical ideas on the subject.
The story is that Morey made model of
his boat, took it to New York, and exhibit
ed it to both Fulton and Livingston, who
offered him 500, 600 if he would perfect
his invention and change the engine from
the bow to the centre of the boat. Morey
returned to his home, and after spending a
good deal of money met the conditions, and
again turned up in New York but he was
treated with the greatest GOODNESS. Living
ston secured his monopoly of steam navi-
CATION in 1898 from the New York legisla-
ture and Fulton secured his patent after
that Morey complained until the day of
his death of the great injustice done him,
and the public, not knowing the facts,
showered It's honors upon Fulton.
