LONDON, October 26.-Mr. Gladstone de-
livered an address at Chester, today, on the
condition of the working classes. He con-
trasted the English workmen's position to-
day with that of 80 years ago. showing that
during half century there had been an in
crease of 30 per cent. in wages, while cheap
food and ana clothing are more obtainable,
and are better than heretofore. In conclu-
sion he urged that English workmen should
study the history Of the American revolu-
tion. He claimed it was by and from this
country that the love Of freedom was sown
in America. England has now in return
reaped advantages from America in vindica-
tion of those principles Of freedom which
animated. the revolution. The system Of
government in America contained that love
of freedom, respect for law and desire for
order which formed the surest elements of
national excellence aud greatness. 1t was
no extravaganza to say that although there
were only two millions of people in the tkir-
teen States at the time of the revolution, the
groups of statesmen that proceeded from
them were match for any in the history of
the world and superior to those of any one
epoch. Their fortunate appearance was un-
doubtedly due to well regulated and muscu-
lar freedom.

WHATIriS ABOUT.
The Stories of Both sides in the Ken
lucky Vendetta.

LOUISVILLE, October 27.-Judge Lewis is
in possession of Harlan Court House and his
followers are constantly increasing. He has
65 well armed men and is confident of captur-
ing Howard and his party. An account of
the feud has been received here giving the
stories of both sides. H0ward's claim is
that the trouble originated in the killing in
self defence of Robert Turner in 1882 and
that Wilson Howard, under indictment for
killing William Turner in the quarrel ensu-
ing cannot get fair trial and therefore re-
sists arrests. The Turner's, represented by
Judge Lewis, claims that Robert and VIM.
Turner were murdered without prevocation
trial. The Howards greatly outnumber the
Turner's and scan secure justice at least.
Judge Lewis is not relative of the Turner's
and was drawn into the fight only in dis
charge of his duty

Rerated Pension Bureau Employees
Likely to Lose Their Places.

WASHINGTON. October 27.-It would seem
not improbable that the employees of the
pension office who were rerated might lose
their places. In letter to Colonel J. E.
Smith Secretary Noble says he has no charge
to make against Smiths military record or
moral character. He adds: 81 deem it for
the best interest of the service that the men
reratei in the bureau should not continue
there to exercise influence in that direction,
either by their presence or counsel, and that
the new commissioner should have a better
opportunity to correct evils, l considered
and do now consider of the grossest charac-
ter. think two things may be put down as
liked; rerating will be allowed only where
there was previous obvious mistake and
the application will be heard only in its due
order and not upon preference obtained by
official position or otherwise. An increase
of pension can be easily obtained upon prop
er proof"
Colonel Smith was chief of the certificate
division of the pension Office until dismissed
a few days ago.
