In New England and the Middle States tho

English People Say the Irish Leader Is
Politically Dead.
Public opinion in England Is hourly grow
ing moro and more adverse to Parnell, his
retirement from the leadership OF the Irish
party being called for by Gladstonian as
we'll as Unionist papers. Parnell himself Is
disposed to stand fast, but he does not APP

household. "Mr Foxn flying down the
fre-escape, protesting his innocence, Of
fers too many marks for the shafts Of
the enemy. The Conservatives are not at
all anxious for him to retire, believing he
would be far less dangerous in his present
damaged condition than a leader like Dill
lon. Nobody in London attempts TO take
up the cry OF the Chicago priest that o'Shea
was bribed by the British Government TO
bring suit. That involves the bribery of
Parnell to allow the judgment TO go against
him by default. 1t is not true that Parnell
told any OF his friends the real facts OF the
case. lie led them TO believe he
had complete answer to the charge
II he attempts to go on as IL nothing had
happened his own party will be terribly in
jured. leading Gladstonlan remarked
sParnell must go or we are smashed. The
whole affair could be used with crushing
effect against us at general election.
Gladstone will not go on with such an ally.n
These views are shared in by all the fore
most men I'm the Gladstonlan party, though
they wish to keep silence on the subject as
long as possible.

What Mr.. Gladstone Has to Say Ab1uk
the American Tariff.
The addresses delivered by Mr.. Gladstone

given TO his address at Dundee, In which he
dealt almost exclusively with the American
tariff question and 10 much more elabo-

Gladstone admitted that the Mckinley bill
was "A formidable affair, so formidable I'm
fact that he would recommend the institu-
ton OF chairs I'm the American universities
for the erection OF the study of the
tariff into one OF tho new sciences.
While IL would be n policy on the part
Of the English people TO exaggerate their
share In the operation of the tariff. yet he
thought IL undesirable that England should
lay too much stress on her concern i'm the
measure. No doubt the immediate effect
Of the act would be TO restrict English trade
with America, but the standard of prices
would eventually be raised in that country,
and this meant diminished power OF en-
portation and less ability to cope with Eng
land In the other markets OF the world. At
any rate the English people had 10 deal, not

It is estimated that the shrlnkage in

but also with fame and prestige greater

beginning TO realize the effect of the gigan-
tic scheme of Jay Gould to control the rail-
roads OF the Wost. 1t is positively stated
that an alliance has been formed
between the interests represented by
Jay Gould, g. p. Huntington, the
Standard OIL party, and Kidder, Pea

Talking Of patent medicines
You know the old prejudice.
And the doctors-some Of
them are between you and us.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
lieve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
evsyythsng - and SO, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments Of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
stuff, you lose faith in every
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell a remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of it's doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, Of Buffalo, N. Y, does
with

What X. q. Dun a Co. Have to Say of the
Financial Situation.
r. G.. Dun & Co.'s weekly review OF trade
says;
The marvel is that the business world has
been able to stand with so little disturbance
thus far such shock and strain as the last
two weeks have brought. With the assets
of the largest commercial banking house in
Great Britain turned over TO the Bank OF
England, with several stock failures In New
York and one at Philadelphia, and some
savings banks by ignorant depositors In a
panic, the legitimate business OF the country
has hardly been affected at all as yet
Stringency has checked some buying, Difficult
ty of making foreign exchange threatens to
retard the movement of cotton, and a more
conservative temper Is seen I'm trading,
but everything thus far indicates sound
er condition OF legitimate business than
many supposed. The collapse of many
great speculations has brought heavy losses,
but the public has not been taking much
part I'm such operations. or the great CEN
ters Chicago fares the best, feeling Eastern
troubles little. The movement of wheat
and corn is slightly less than for the same
week last year; cured meats, lard. butter,
and cheese larger, and oats nearly double,
but in dressed beef and hides there is
heavy decline. The dry goods trade equals
last year, and the trade In clothing and
shoes is ending a profitable season.
