AN HISTORIC SPEECH.
The Singing Words with which Crom-
well Turned Parliament Out.

The speech with which Oliver Cromwell
turned Parliament out of doors in 1858 has
come to light through the researches of DR..
Wolfrang Michael. and there Is at- 1ng eyI-
dence that 1t is authentic. II was this: p" 10
is high time for me to put an end 10 your
sitting in this place which We have dishon-
ored by your contempt of all virtue, and de-
fled by your practice of every vice. Ye are
a factious crew, and enemies to all good gov
eminent. Ye are a pack OF mercenary
wretches, and would-like Esau-seli your
country for a mess of pottage, and-llke
Judas-betrev your God for few pieces oil
money. Is there a single virtue now re
naming among you? il there one of vice
We do not possess? Ye have no more rell-
zion than my horse. Gold is your God.
Which of you have not battered away your
conscienccs for brides Is there a man
among you that hath the least care for the
GOOD OF the Commonwealth Ye sordld
prostitutes, have ye not debled this
sacred place, and turned the Lords
temple into q den of thieves? By
your immoral principles and wicked
practices 80 are grown intOlerably
odious to the whole nation. You. who
were deputed here by the people TO get
their grievances redressed. are yourselves
become their greatest grievance. Your
country, therefore. calls upon me to cleanse
this Augean stable by putting a Anal period
TO your iniquitous proceedings In TINS
house. and which, by Gods help and the
strength He hath given me. ! am now come
to do. | command you, therefore, upon
peril of your lives to depart Immediately
out of this place. Go! Get you out
Make haste, Ye venal slaves, begonel
Sohl Take away that shining bauble there,
and lock ND the door,

The Moral Condition OF Both worknsn
and Employer 20 BE Improved.

IBy Anglo American cable to the Dispatch.I
LONDON. April is.-The London edition
OF the New York Herald this morning
prints reports of an interview with
tho Pope. In discussing the labor qucs-
ton. his. Holiness dwelt upon the ne
cessity for improving the moral con-
sition of both workmen and employers.
de SAID that he intended TO form CON-
mittee in every diocese in the world. whose
duty il would be to call the toilers to-
gether on every fast day and rest day and
discuss their duties and teach them and in
splre them with true morality. Sound
rules Of life, said the Pope. must be found
ed upon religion. The committees which be
proposes to form are to consist of workmen
or of those sympathiz:ng with workmen.
bishop is to be at the head OF each COM
mittee. Referring TO the subject of Eu-
ropean disarmament. he said that military
life surrounds thousands of young men
with violent and immoral influences and
brushes and degradcs them. Armies drain
the countries of their wealth. They with
draw labor from the soil. overtax the poor.
impoyerish the populace, set people
against each other, and intensity national
jealousies. They are anti-Christian.. The
doctrine of arbitration accepted by
America is tho true principle, but most of
the men controlling Europe do not desire
the truth.

LONDON, April 19-During the debate in
the House of Commons last night on the

conference on blmetallism, which was
finally rejected by the House, Sir William
Vernon Harcourt announced that MIR.
Gladstone did not approve the motion.

TO the principle of bimetallisn, he thought
it would be folly for the Government to go
in advance of the advocated commercial
opinion of the country and try to force
upon the nation currency in which COM
mercial men did not thoroughly believe.
Mr. Goschen, Chancellor OF the Ex-
chequer. said he was inclined to favor BIZ
metallism. aud thought all countries would
maintain it.
The vote by which the motion was re-
jected included the leading members Of

AN IMPORrANI RuMoR.


IT'S Whispered that Mr.. Gould has Pur-
chased the Fort Worth and Rio Grande.
The presence of Mr.. Gould in Texas has been
the cause OF more railroad rumors than any one
thing else could be. Some of these reports, il
true, are decidedly important. while some are
so absurd as to be unworthy moment consid-
Grafton. One of the most important rumors
that has recently been afoat is that the wizard
has purchased the Fort Worth and Rio Grande
road now completed to Dublin in Erath county,
and that he would make it part OF the Texas
and Pacific system. Such thing would be no
great surprise. as the Rio Grande is building
right into territory that is tributary to the
Texas and Pacific road, but there
the report. A gentleman well posted in railroad
matters in Texas when he heard the Tumor yes
terday appeared to be considerably interested in
it, but took occasion to remark that he did not
believe it to be true. This statement, however,
was not made in manner to indicate that he
could not be made to believe it, If anything like
plausible story be told about it.
The fact of the matter is: Whenever Mr..
Gould appears in any section of the country
where there few short lines of railroad, it
is the signal for setting afoat as many rumoTs
there are such roads, OF their purchase by
that gentleman, It is in the range
chase this road, but if he has any
such intention no good authority has said
so vet. The report may have originated in an
other report that Mr.. Gould in telegraphic
communion with parties who own the Fort
Worth and Rio Grande road matters con-
nected with the war now going on between
the Western roads.

THE RAILROADS.
The Fort Worth and Denver Extends
the Common Point Territory.
An Important Rumor of Nr. Gould and the Rio
Grande Road-The Gulf, BraZOs Valley
and PacIfic-6Otes.

The Fort Worth and Denver has established
common point rate to all stations-Amarillo to
Fort Worth, between Kansas City, st. Louis
Chicago and def ned territory. Under the new
order the rate from st. Louis to all points on the
line of the Denver from Fort Worth to Amarillo
inclusive viii be the sane-Sl.8 SO per 100 pounds.
Heretofore the common point stations on this
line extended only to Wichita Falls, the rate 10
points above that being 81, SO to Amarillo. This
will Of course be of no benefit to Fort Worth
merchants. and if it should remain just this
way it would no doubt materially eff
feet the wholesale trade Of this city
10 the towns made common points
by this order. Why the common point territory
was extended so as to embrace the additional
towns is no known, and II viii no doubt puzzle
Fort Worth wholesale merchants to understand
why it is so. It most assuredly Will not increase
the business of the Denver road from Fort
Worth, the reason why being plain to be seen.
i is wen known to all wholesale and iobbing
merchants in Texas that the more common
points there are in the state the less wholesale
business viii be done by Texas wholesale mer-
chants and especially is this so since the recent
decision IN regard to carload lots.
The establishment of these additional common
points on this line win no dOubt be surprise to
Fort Worth merchants, but il may be that the
Denver has other surprises in reserve that will
lie more pleasant than this one is. At least it is
10 be hoped that such is the case, for the benefit
ct the wholesale merchants here.

this extent of time will own $500 miles

the plans OF utilizing the power of the
Mississippi river at Meekers' island has
been abandoned, and instead he and his
colleagues will expend several millions
in erecting gigantic electric plants in the
Twin Cities -,
