ROYAL GRANTS ASSURED.
Labouchere's Amendment Beaten by a
large Majority.

IuTSe nuJoTity.
When the debate on the royal grants was
resumed in the House of Commons on
Friday Mr.. Bradlaugh said he found diff
Guilty in discussing the question calmly
when Mr.. Balfour outside of the House
denounced the objections as disgusting and
sordid. The opponents of the grants meant
nothing personally discourteous to the
members of the royal family, but were
simply acting within their rights when
/. they met the demands of the crown on
question of finance with direct negative.
Much OF the argument in favor of the
grants was based on the erroneous idea that
tho crown, under the civil list acts from
George / onward, surrendered its private
property In exchange for civil list.
Neither George ! nor his SUCCESSORS, Mr..
Bradlaugh declared, surrendered anything.
The present royal family never surren-
dered anything of a farthing value to the
country. The committee of inquiry had
olicted the fact that during the present
reign the savings upon certain classes
under the civil list act, instead of being APP
piled to deiray the charges of other classes,
had boon handed to the queen without the
authority of Parliament and in breach of
the statute. [Cries of "hear" "hear."l
The Right Hon. w. H. Smith, the gov
ernment leader, had denied that the alleged
savings of the queen We're over E3,0O0,OO0,
but he declined to show how much money
had either been saved by the queen or
drawn by the other members of the royal
family from all sources.
Mr.. Bradlaugh said there ought TO he
nothing to conceal. The fact Of the con-
cealing led to exaggerated Ideas. The
refusal OF the government to disclose the
wealth amassed by royalties justified the
aversion OF the country to royal grants.
Cheers
Lord Randolph Churchill argued that the
original demands of the government were
just besides being In conformity with pre-
cedent. If burdens We're thrown upon the
crown not intended under the civil list, il
would impair the credit of the nation and of
Parliament. Mr.. Bradlaugh had questioned
the title of the crown to its estates; but sue
cessive Parliaments had recognized, and
none of the greatest LAWYERS had ever vet
challenged, the crowns title He reminded
the House that Sir Henry +. Ponsonby, her
malesty's private secretary, a few years
ago denied reports that the queen was max
ing immense investments in ground rents,
and stated that she had not 81 900, 900 to
invest in anything. Lord Randolph said
that the Radicals overestimato of tho
queens wealth was designed to excite pop
ular feeling against royalty. He objected
To the adoption of methods the purpose of
which was 10 toment IA clamor against the
throne, which in spite of them would re-
main steadfast in the affections OF the

substitute for the report OF the Royal
Grants committee was rejected by vote Of

Mr.. Morely will, ON Monday, move an
amendment declaring that the House is
unwilling to increase the burdens of the
people without assurance that no furt he
grants will be made,

THE OUNCE OF PREVENTION.

Under the above heading the New York World
OF Feb. 10th, contains an editorial of which the
following are n few extracts:
Physicians and unprofessional men OF sense
agree that II people would take a little Of the
pains to prevent disease that they do TO have A
cured that the civilized world would be much
less like a vast hospital than Il Is now.
But the idea of regular and stated ply steal
examination. even of persons who are ap-
parently well, is an excellent one. The APP
proaches OF pulmonary complaints, kidney
troubles. and many Of the other ills that flesh
is heir to are so insidious as not to be apparent
to their victim. In nothing Is it
trucr than in disease that an ounce of preyen-
ton Is worth pound of cure
There is n great deal OF wisdom in what the
World remarks. individuals, as n rule do not
give their physical welfare attention, and 1t Is
only when alarmed by the presence OF disease
itself-the consciousness of falling strength
that attention Is given to such matters
Much has been said and written I'm recent
years concerning the extreme and ofientimes
fatal danger which results from delay I'm the
treatment Of kidney diseases.
Physicians admit that they cannot control
advanced disease in those organs and u is
doubtful whether they can control ID In any
stage without the assistance OF Warmers Safe
Cure, which Is established as the only known
means which will reliably prevent and cure
this class of disease.
BESIDES, II has been definitely ascertained
that kidney disease is the real cause of all III
health In most cases where consumption, heart
brain ornervous disorders are supposed to xist
ana In consequence of such belief many fatal
mistakes have been committed by our best
physicians in treating such disorders, which are
but the symptoms of the disease whilst they
have allowed the real disease of the kidneys
to escape until too late.
There is no safer or surer way by which health
can be preserved and disease averted than the
occasional use Of Warmers Safe Cure, which
will benefit the engine of life, the kidneys,
even II they are in a normally healthy state
while the good that will result in case disease Is
threatened, or Is already present cannot be
ovcrestimated.
The most careful examination made by
skiliful physician sometimes il unreliable,
since this class of disease is extremely decep-
tive, and seldom openly manifests itself until
the unsuspecting sufferer Is beyond assistance,

Jury Vprdicts and Judges.

In a Philadelphia case In court, Judge
Pennypaeker has taken it upon himself
TO reduce the verdict of damages in favor
of Henry Specht, against the Penusyl-
vania railroad comp any, from $50, 900 to
$4,000. The evidence showed that
Specht, while driving his team wagon
across the track, was struck 10y the loco
motive OF a passenger train, and very
seriously Injured. His boy, about four
years OF age, was thrown under coal
pile, and subsequently died. The COM
pany moved an arrest of Judgment on
the ground that the action for personal
injuries to the plaintiff and the action
for damages for the death of his
child Were improperly joined. The plain
tih then disclaimed damages on the lat
ter count and, in view of the fact that
specht's entire claim had been for 500

value Of his yearly business and earn.

An Outrage by White Cnps.

The following comes from Gillespie, III.
While Henry Bokamp and his wife were
riding near that town last Monday evening,
they We're taken from their buggy by an
armed band of White Caps, who took
shameful liberties with the woman and
strung Bokamp up to a tree three times,
the last hanging proving SO near fatal that
he could only be revived by the admins
tration of medicine. They then left him.
The reason of the outrage is said 10 have
committed petit larceny. The case has
been put in the hands of Colonel Oller, a
criminal lawyer, of Iitchfield. who saws
that while at Gillispie yesterday looking
into the affair he was warned by man,
who claimed to be the captain of the White
Caps, that if he came nosing around there
he would get thicker rope than the one
they gave to Bokamp. The colonel saws
he Will prosecute the perpetrators to the
extent Of the law.

with fire. He rushed into the house,
grasped the stove, around which the flames
were leaping, and raising ii TO his shoulders
ran out into the street. The gasoline
poured down his back and arms and soon
tho flames were burning his flesh, but he
clung 10 the stove until he had cony eyed il
where IL could do no further damage.
When he had dropped his burden he was
suffering intense torture. The bvstanders
eXlnguished the flames. His back and
arms were literally roasted, and the blood
ran IN streams from his burned body.
There is little hope Of his recovery.

Mr.. GLADSTONE never more wothily de-
serves his title to be considered The Grand
Old Man than when he towers above his
party in Parliament with an eloquent plea
that the British Commons shall by no act
of meanness and with no niggard hand
diminish the splendor Of the British crown.
A superficial Republicanism, not to say
ralHd Radicalism, may sympathlze with
Bradlaugh, Laboncherc and Churchill In
their attacks upon the extravaganza Of sup
porting tho royal family. But there is
that which counts for the stability and
grandeur of a government besides the
pound and pence thatiare even wasted 10
maintain traditional form and pomp. And
after all, this arrogant republic of ours has
some political institutions and interests
that cost the people quite as much in tho
long run and are worth just as little as the
Battenberg babies or the household ex.
penses of the crown prince.

THE attention of the public IL called in
the Philadelphia Record of to-day TO the
fact that Pennsylvania is losing hcr old
timc Industrial supremacy. And the
demon which Is thus dethroning our fair
state Is nothing more nor less than that
useful aud ductilo commodity, steel.
Twenty years ago when the steel rail first
came into use a severe blow was struck at
our chiefest product, and now all the rail
roads of the country are practically laid
with steel rails. However, iron was still
almost entirely used for general structural
and bridge purposes and for boiler plates.
During the last five or ten years this is no
longer fact, and now all the large bridges
I'm the country are constructed of steel.
Save for stoves and nails and certain kinds
of machinery, with an abundance of
Bessemer steel, iron could as well become,
80 far as its practical use in Its natural state
il concerned, the produc, of lost art.
This state of affairs particularly affects
Pennsylvania owing 10 the fact that her
facilities for making iron are infinitely
greater than for the production Of STEEL
owing 10 the distance from the Bessemer
ore mines of Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Michigan. 1t would be a sad spectacle il
the pride of our state should thus depart
from us and our iron industries die from
pure starvation. However the history OF
modern inventions has shown more un-
likely phenomena in the industrial arts
than would DO such rev olution as this.
