PESSINIISTIC THINKERS.
The Socialists Issue Timely Ad,
Dress

New York, April 23-The National
Socialistic committee has issued an
address bearing upon the celebration of
the Washington inaugural centennial.
They point to various respects in which
the ideals entertained by the founders
of the republic have not been realized,
and deprecate the prevailing tendency
to suppress this siGe of the picture, and
to unduly emphasize the more obvious
facts of increased population and
wealth. The mere increase of wealth,
they insist, cannot be considered proof
of genuine progress. The real test
would be, as to whether wealth dis
tributes itself equitably; whether Op-
portunities to acquire 1t are equally
useful to all: and whether or not there
is danger of the introduction of class
distinctions founded upon differences
in wealth. 1t is upon the substantial
economic independence of the citizen,
as well as upon his political independ-
ence, that the true hope of people
rests. Looking at the situation from
this point of view. the address declares
that there is much reason for serious
apprehension. The document is very
moderate in tone, and asserts that all
reforms must rest upon the spread Of
correct ideas among the people.

be published in :to-morrow's issue
of the Birmingham Gazette, and
the controversy opened by Lord
Randolph Churchill promises to
involve a large number of persons
and disclose some interesting political
secrets. A turbulent meeting of the
Edinburgh council was held to-day, on
the question of comforting the freedom
of the city upon Mr.. Parnell. A divis-
Ion was finally taken. resulting in the
passage of resolution offering the
freedom of Edinburgh to the Irish leader
by vote of "a to Is. Upon the announce
ment of the vote, the lord provost de-
clared that the minority would not assist
in what they considered would be an in
jury to the city, and Furthermore that
no man of honor would accept the
freedom of city thus given. The re-
cent letter of Prince Regent Luitpold,
OF Bavaria, to DR.. Won LutZ, Bavarian
minister of worship and public instruc-
ton, defining his understanding
OF the status of Catholic edu-
catiOnal institutions, has caused
great deal of annoyance at
the Vatican and will probably result in
a protracted correspondence. Gen.
SteinsdOrf, a retired officer of the
Bavarian army, died at Munich to-day
at the advanced age of ninety-One
years. 1t has been discovered that NJ.
Dvornitzki, who was recently arrested
at GranltZka for cOnspiring against the
life of the cZar, is an Austrian subject
and was formerly a student at Cracrow.
Agents of the Russian secret police
have arrived at GranitZka for the pur-
pose of following the new clues grow
ing out OF the discovery of DvornitZki'S
identity.

DISABILITY DEFINED.
Corporal Tanner Renders a PEN
sion Decision.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Corporal
Tanner, the commissioner of pensions,
to-day rendered an important decision
in passing upon the application of John
Webb, late private Company d, Indiana
cavalry, for an increase of pensions
from s24 to $50 per month. Webb, who
is receiving the former rate of pension
for varicOse veins of the left leg, has
asked for the increase on the ground
that total disability in the foot now ex-
lists. In granting the increase asked
for the commissioner says in his lopin-
ion that it was not the intention of con-
gress in using the words total dis
ability to debar claimants for pension
from the benefits of the act until the
hand, foot, arm or leg is worthless in
cumbrance, incapable of motion, and
completely useless for any purposes
whatever. Hereafter, he says, total
disability shall be held to exist when
the affected member, by reason of
wound, injury or disease, is useless in
the performance of ordinary manual
labor

QUIETLY MARRIED.

ager Morton and Lille Post.

CHICAGO, April 23.-William 81. Nor
ton, manager of the Columbia theater,
was married last night in decidedly
quiet fashion to Lille Post, prima donna
soprano. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. B. L. Fleetwood, rector of
st. Marks Episcopal church, at the
minister's residence. Walter G. Long
mire, of the firm of W. ii. Fletcher u
Co., of New York, an old-time friend
of Mr.. Morton. and Mrs. Hunt, of San
Francisco, sister of Miss Post, at
tended the bridal pair. No other
persons were present, except the min
lister and the contracting parties.
Mr.. Morton took his bride to his home
on Indiana avenue. This mile and
half carriage ride from the preachers
house constituted the wedding tour. Mr..
Morton opened the door of his house
and said: ''Come in Lille, and take
possession" This constituted the
changing of the crane" in the new
house. Mr.. Morton said: ''I'll be back
as soon as can, DEAR" and left the
house. He hurried to the theater and
went to work, and stayed at work until
near midnight. AS he left the house
Lille took book in her hand, sat down
by the camel coal fire and read from
longfelloW:
g into the night are gone
But still the fire upon the hearth burns on,
And | am left alone''
Both Mr.. Morton and Miss Post have
had experience in matrimony. Miss
Post was married five years ago, and
Mr.. Morton has daughter seventeen

are higher than in the ten years pre-
ceding that of 1888. The enhanced
price, Mr.. Magee says. is due to the
tariff laws enacted last winter. Minis
ter Magee says that he has made con-
siderable inquiry with regard to the
effect of these, laws upon the prices of
food supplies and labor. The result,
he says, shows that food sup

CHINESE TAXATION.
Minister DENLY Considers Their
system a Good One,

WASHINGTON, April %. = Charles
DENLY, the United States minister to
China, in report to the department of
state, says the system of taxation in
China presents some decided contrasts
to systems in other coutries. Taxes
outside of Peking are paid on arabic
land only, the tax varying with the
crop-producing quality of the soil. In
side the city of Peking there is no tax
on land. houses or personal property.
Goods brought through the city gates
paw a lekin tax, but are exempt
from taxation afterwards. The
only tax paid on land and
houses in Peking. is on the sale
of real estate, 10 per cent being charged
on the prlce obtained for the property
sold. There is also tax resembling
license fees. Outside of Pekin, Chi
nese subjects are liable to be called on
to perform certain duties whenever the
emperor passes through their districts,
but this duty may be avoided by the
payment of a small tax. All moneys
spent on public account in Pekin come
from the imperial treasury. and the eX-
penditure is not limited to funds raised
BY taxation within the city. The bulk
of, the people in Peking pay no taxes
whatever. The man who owns

FITTING WORDS
OF Praise Bestowed Upon Col.
Graves.

GraVeS.
The clock had been turned back sew
eral times from the noon hour when
John Day Smith, escorting Speaker
Graves and accompanied by II. F.
Stevens, F. E. Searle and d. F. Nor
gan, advanced to the head of the center
aisle of the house, where there stood a
large Photographic group of the men,
bers of the house upon an easel. Mr..
Smith presented Speaker Graves to Mr..
Morgan, who after few words of
greeting said:
II desire on behalf of the members of
this house to present you with this
counterfeit preSentament of them. 1t is
for you to take it to your home with the
thought that they respect and esteem
your ability, and that in the hearts of
all there rests nothing but the kindest
of feelings for you. You have proven
your impartiality and fairness; your
fitness for the position to which they
raised you, and in this way they desire
to show it,"
F. E. Searle followed Mr.. Morgan.
He alluded to the fact that he and the
speaker had been legislative opponents
all winter, but assured the latter that
he bore for him the best of friendship.

ability of Col. Graves. Next came FL.
F. Stevens, who as chairman of the
judiciary committee desired to testify
to the consideration with which the
committee had been treated; the fidel-
ity of the speaker to his duties; the
honesty of his character, and his popu-
larity with the house. Mr.. Stevens
closed with fervent MAY God bless
you"
John Day Smith made a humorous
and pleasant speech on the different
faces in the pictured group. He clev-
eriy hit off the salient points of Messrs.
Hompe, Benson, Dunn, Eastman, Ives
and others. Col. Graves was almost
overcome when it came to his replying.
His voice broke and his eyes were suS-
piciously dim. He thanked the house
for the gift, and spoke warmly of the
working abilities of that body and the
character of the legislation passed by it..
At the close there was great applause.
By rising vote the house passed the
resolution of Mr.. Ives rendering the
speaker vote of thanks. Col. Graves
left for Chicago last night, and from
there will go to New York on business.

FOR THE GOVERNMENT.
Salisbury Condemns the Home
Rule Agitation.

LONDON, April 23.-Lord Salisbuary
delivered an address at Bristol to-day.
He spoke of the growth of the Primrose
league, which, he said, was marvellous.
The league. he declared, was of tran
scendental value in the solution of
any current political question. as it was
a noble instrument with which to blend
the classes and the masses. He hoped
that ere long the government would set
tie the troubles which were menacing
the internal peace of the nation. The
government was confronted with
combination of political oppo-
sitlon with predatory greed such
as no government had ever faced be-
fore. The government relied upon the
continued confidence of the country to
enable it to overcome this combination.
Continuing, Lord Salisbury ridiculed
the agitation in favor of home rule in
Ireland. He declared that the county
of Cornwall, by its distinct racial
origin, its language, its tradi-
tions and its history had as much claim
for a separate parliament as Ireland.
The nationality argument is insincere.
1t was more fruitful of sophistry and
clap-trap and more barren of solid
sense than anything that was ever
before the country. 1t would sacrifice
the first interests of industry and
commerce to mere empty SEN
timent. EThe Unionists were confronted
with two phalanXes, one political, the
other criminal, both converging to a
common end. and that is to make the
execution of the law in Ireland impos-
sible. 1t was miserable spectacle to
see members of parliament standing up
to defend embeZzlement and fraud.
The &nionists, conscious of their
high calling, ought not to allow per-
sonal considerations to enter into cleo
toral questions. They should not poach
on each others grounds, but should
combine in support of the man most
likely to win.

The minister closes his report with the
following comment on Chinese taxation
as contrasted with the system of taxa
ton in the United States: ''How diff

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, April 23.-A Jour-
nal special from Guthrie says: If ever

time. No town was ever built under
greater difficulties nor so quickly,
nor have ever been SO many disap-
pointed men in so short time. The
anticipated bioodShed over quarter sec

ers seem disposed to peaceably adjust
all difficulties, and when they find one

they find another. But here in Guthrie
all is confusion, and the feelings

bitterness is more intense as the full

officials becomes better understood.
Public meetings are being constantly

The unauthorized and unwarranted

representatives from the several
