The Farmers alliance vote in Nebraska
for governor reaches 10000, which is about
1000 more than that cast for the ReDubli-
can candidate and 1000 less than the Dem
ocratic vote.
That the Democrats do not get all of the
foreign votes in this country is shown by a
writer who says that he has aided in natu-
ralizing 700 Swedes, and believes every
one of them to have voted the Republican
ticket.
The most important change in the new
constitution of Mississippi is the one
whereby, after the first of next January,
every voter must be able to read any sec
ton in the constitution or to understand
the same when read to him or give a rea-
sonable Interpretation thereof.
The vintage in Italy this year has
varied considerably in the several districts.
In Piedmont it has been satisfactory, in
Lombardy less so, and not generally good
in Liguria the Marches and Emilia In the
| Veneto the yield was scarce, but of good
quality; in Tuscany and Lazio satisfactory
while in the south it has been extremely
abundant. 1t is certain that the product of
this year will be greatly superior 30 the
last, and it is calculated that not less than

The great steel bridge across the
Columbia river at Vancouver will be NAM
moth in its proportions. 1t will be 5000
feet from the Washington tc the Oregon
shores. 1t will be doubled tracked, with a
roadway on top for teams, and will be
erected upon pneumatic piers The pivoted
pier, or draw pier, will support draw
which will give an opening of 200 feet space
on either side for the vessels to pass, and
the span Immediately south of the draw
span will be $40 feet. The whole structure
is to be of steel, built ten feet above the
high water mark of 1876 and forty feet
above low water. On account of the sandy
formation it will be necessary to go down
eighty feet below water to get firm foun-
dalton. There it rests on a foundation OF
/ coarse gravel, similar to that upon which
the great bridges across the Missouri river
are built This gigantic structure will cost
over one million dollars, and employ hun
dreds of men in its erection. II will be Jan
luary l, 1871, before the cars can pass over it

Meeting Of Irish Home RuIe Members

LONDON, Nov. Pa meeting of the
Irish Home Rule members of parliament
was held Today before the opening of the
session of the commons. Parnell was
present. He was loudly cheered as ne en-
tered the room. A motion was made that
Parnell be elected chairman of the. Irish
parliamentary party and was carried
unanimously. 1t is announced that Parnell
will retain the leadership at the express
desire of his followers. Parnell made an
address to the meeting in which ne thanked
his followers for his reelection. He said
1t was for the Irish members to decide
whether he should lead. If their decision
had been negative, or there been any di-
versity of opinion, he would cheerfuily
withdraw from public life Nothing but
the conviction that his colleagues desired
still to utilize his services in their common
cause induced him to resume position in
which his altered circumstances exposed
him and them to the attacks of opponents
There was full attendance at the open
| ing session OF the commons. Parnell was
present and took the seat he usually occu-
pies, but soon retired to the lobby. When
the deputy speaker read the letters an
nouncing the conviction of Dillon and
| O'Brien, Parnell reappeared and from the
extreme end of the benches pushed his way
| forward to a seat on the third bench.
Shortly after Parnell reappeared Gladstone
entered the house and was greeted with
| loud cheers.

salisbury's Speech in the Lords.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-In the house of lords
to-night Premier Salisbury in an address,
said he would not say England's trade
with Africa and the colonies would i'm
mediately compensate her for the loss
caused by the new American tariff, but it
would be motive for preventing terri
tories in Africa from falling into the hands
of nations exercising prohibition in trade.
1t was lamentably true the colonies
did not allow the mother-land free
trade, yet it was a fact that the
trade Of Australia had increased faster
than elsewhere. Replying to queries, he
said he could not discuss the recent finan-
cial crisis, as the negotiations in progress
were of a confidential character
Regarding the troubles in Tipperary, he
said the league com 0ination there aimed to
defraud, Cypress and coerce honest traders.
The task OF restoring prosperity to Ireland
would be hopeless unless such combina-
tions were destroyed. The government
was firmly pursuing the object of increas-
ing the number of persons interested in
land in Ireland, thus creating moral and
political force which would Illustrate the
efforts of political agitators.

PROF. GOODWIN SMITH
On the Theory that Prisoners Should Not be
Condemned on Circumstantial Evidence.

ISpecalto THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
TORONTO, Nov. 25.-Prof. Goodwin
Smith has given to the press his views on
the Burchall case. The theory that ac-
cused persons should not be condemned on
circumstantial evidence he sets forth to be
untenable. He says Burchall had con-
fessed to conspiracy against Benwel,
thereby clearly disclosing a motive for his
crime. He virtually confessed the crime
Itself In two ways, first, by betraying in his
letter TO Colonel Benwell his knowledge of
Benwel's death before the body had been
found; and secondly, by falling to account
for himself during the day of the murder
Prof. Smith denounces that depraved SEN
satlonallsm displayed in connection with
the case, and expresses the hopes that
measures will be taken henceforth to Sc
clude condemned men from the public eve
and to prevent the moral agonies OF their
last days from being any more turned into
hideous pastime for the multitude.
Although opposed to interfering with the
executive IN any way in its administration
OF the law, he would have been disposed to
sign petition for Communication of
Burchall'S sentence, not on his account,
but on that Of the community, because
after what had been done and published
during the last two months the execution
had lost lis character as a solemn act of
justice ana become butchery. Burchall.
1t was evident, was absolutely selfish and
without conscience. Such men there are.
and Napoleon was the prince of them.
Probably the only thing which caused
Burchall any remorse was that he had
omitted to take away the cigar case. Yet
ne was not wholly unamiable or devoid of
affection.

The Democrats Wand Cleveland.

Especial TO THE HERALD Examiner Dispatch. !
NEW YORK, Nov. Ex-Governor Robert
L. Taylor of Tennessee came to New York
Sunday and departed for home last eve
ming, Governor Taylor voiced the senti-
ment OF other prominent southerners who
have been recently interviewed, that Gro
yer Cleveland is the logical candidate of
the democracy for President in 1892. ''No
other man." he said, sis thought of in
the south IN connection with the nomina-
ton. MIR. Cleveland is so popular with our
people that mere mention OF his name in
an assemblage is sufficient to provoke en-
thusiam. He made the issue on which the
Democrats won in the late election and the
people naturally want him to be the stand
ard bearer Ill the greater fight that is
coming.
There is absolutely no talk Of Hill for
President. The people do not want him,
but they would not OBJECT to see him
United States Senator Eyarts' successor
this winter. If MIR. Hin has presidential
aspirations he eau afford to wait. Mr.
Cleveland is the man now, and nothing but
death can prevent him from being nomina-
ted and elected TWO years hence.n

THE IRISH CAUSE.
Gladstone to Morley on Parnelrs
Leadership at Present.
THE QUEENS SPEECH READ.
1t by the Great Liberal Leader
Salisbury in the Lords.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-At the request of
Gladstone, Morley has communicated to
Parnell letter written Monday to Morley
by Gladstone. In it Mr.. Gladstone says:
After using all the means of observation
and reflection in my power, arrived at the
conclusion that notwithstanding the
splendid services rendered by Parnell to
his country, his continuance at the present
moment in the leadership would be produc-
tive of consequences disastrous in the high
est degree TO the cause of Ireland" Glad
stone adds further as an expansion of his
conclusions, that Parnells continuance as
leader would not only place many
friends of the Irish cause in a
position OF great embarrassment,
but would render his (Gladstone's)
retention OF the leadership of the Liberal
party, based as it has been manly upon
prosecution of the Irish cause, almost q
nullity. These views, he says, he had ex-
pressed personally to Mccarthy. The ex-
pansion OF his views he begged Mccarthy
TO regard as confidential if he found Par
nell contem plated spontaneous action; but
ne also begged Mccarthy would make
known to the Irish party at to-day's meet
ing that such was his conclusion II ne
should find Parnell had not in contempla-
ton any step of the nature indicated. he
wrote TO Morley in case Mccarthy
should be unable to communicate with Par
nell In conclusion, Gladstone says: Il
have thoughts it best to put this in terms
simple and direct much as | should have
liked to alleviate the personal nature of the
situation as respects the manner OF con-
veying what my public duty has made 1t an
obligation to say.' u
1t is learned that Gladstone had an inter
view with Parnell before the publication
of the letter and urged him to retire. The
letter caused an intense excitement in the
Hobbies.
There was a meeting of the Nationalists
tonight, but nothing was done. Another
was arranged for tomorrow.
| Several Liberal candidates have an
announced their withdrawal from the cam
paign, foreseeing defeat.
| The Parnellites openly assert that they
will stick by Parnell even if they delay
home rule fifteen years.
| Gladstone tonight met Parnel. At the
meeting he did not mention the interview
with Morley, and he resents keenly Par
nelPs disregard of his protest.
| The Conservatives and Unionists glee-
fully chat over the split in the opposition.
The Liberal newspapers in many instances
comment in the strongest terms upon Par
nell fouting Gladstone and his contempt
| for his Liberal allies.

The Messiah Craze in Indian TERRITORY

LAWRENCE, Kans., Nov. 25.-Joe Abner,
a Cheyenne Indian, from the Cheyenne ana
Arapahoe reservations, Indian territory.
says the Messiah craze has taken hold of
the Indians there. They are becoming very
restless. a Sioux, acting as missionary,
came from the north to teach the new re
ligion to the southern tribes. He breaches
to them that any one VINO does not believe
IN the new religion will be destroyed, and
go works upon the imaginations of these
people that they fall PROSTATE to the
ground, and while lying there the mission
airy pretends TO cast some spell on them
When they arise they declare they have
seen the new Christ and at once join in the
gaost dance. The new religion has spread
TO the hlowas, Comanches and Apaches.

Treasurer Smiths Statement

New York, Nov 25.-The EUcning Post
quotes Treasurer Smith, of the Oregon
Improvement company, as saying he ex-
pected to be able soon to issue an address
explaining tne whole situation to the stock
holders. In the meantime he would say
the company is in prosperous condition
and had earned aud paid per cent on the
capital stock. The receivership will be in
the interest OF the company, and the bond
holders will be fully protected. One of the
directors is quoted as saying there is no
question of the solvency of she company.

Charles CounSeIman Committed for Contempt.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-In the case of Charles
Counselman, head of the grain firm of that
name, who refused to answer questions 10
the federal grand jury, regarding the al
legged receipt of rebates ard cut rates from
western railroads, Judge Blodgett, in the
federal court this morning, rendered de-
cision that Counselman must answer. He
was taken before the grand jury again, and
again refused. He was returned before
Judge Blodgett and fined $500 and ordered
into custody till paid.
He will demand release under writ of
hsbeas corpus. If refused, he will appeal
to the supreme court of the United States.
The point involved is of much moment, as,
II witnesses cannot be compelled to testify,
the Interstate commerce law becomes
practically dead letter.

CLEVELAND AND PATTISON.
Political Lie Nailed by the Publication of an
Interesting Correspondence

Interesting Correspondence
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 49, An anti Cleve-
land newspaper having on Monday prin-
ted malicious story to the effect that ex-
President Cleveland, in congratulating sue
cessful candidates of his party, had slight
ed Governor elect Pattison, the following
correspondence is published:
New YORK, Nov. Z, 1890.
My DEAR SIR Though l know that YOU
are overwhelmed with congratulations,
l cannot resist the temptation to express
to you my delight upon your election as
governor of Pennsylvania
l have felt the most intense interest in
the contest in your state, and have had
great sympathy with the good people
there, confronted as they were with every
thing that was bad, and this indorsed and
supported by party claiming an immense
majority of the voters.
1t seemed to me that the condition was
almost pitiable, and that the struggle be-
tween right and wrong, at such odds,
ought not have been forced upon your
grand old commonwealth. But when it
came-precipuated by the arrogance of
those accustomed to deceive and betray
the people with impunity-I almost held
my breath, and, as an American citizen
proud of his country, prayed God for the
peoples safe deliverance and for a demon
stratlon that they had not lost their love
for honesty and right.
The demonstration came, and | am now
glad that issue between right and wrong
was made so clearly, and that the wrong so
lmprudently displayed the banner under
which its forces We're gathered.
want to thank you, as a citizen and as
one of the people, for the gallant fight you
made, and for ali that you have done in
this trying hour to save the American char
acter. And l am so glad that this
thing was done under Democratic auspices
though l think every man who voted for
you deserves the gratitude of his fellow
countrymen. Yours very sincerely.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
ROBERT E. PATTIsoN, Philadelphia, Pa.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. s, 1890.
My DEAR Mr.. PRESIDENT got your
kind letter upon my return here this even
ing, after few days rest at the seashore.
1t is stimulating and encouraging to receive
your earnest words of congratulation. The
contest in this state was one of unprece-
denied activity, and, as you SO well eX-
press it, was carried on against almost
helpless odds. No one better than yourself
understands the immense resources and
untiring industry of the allies of corrupt
government when entrenched in official
power.
Happily, the people here were really
aroused and desperately in earnest and in
spired by intelligent and fervent patriotism.
The Democracy rested their cause solely on
this popular uprising, and their reliance
proved not in vain. The news throughout
the country demonstrates that Our party
generally is in touch with the people-with
their intelligence and moral sentiment
and / pray that no unwise counsels may
divorce this irresistible union. Please be-
lieve me, with renewed thanks and with
the assurance Of profuni respect, most sin
cerely yours, ROBERT Z. PATTIsoN

London Press Comments.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-An the papers com
ment freely on the Parnell matter. The
Daily Ne,cs says it is with the deepest re-
gret that it places together, proba-
bly, for the last time, the names
of Gladstone and Parnell. The lat
ter will find that Englishmen are not
to be persuaded out of their convictions.
The Ne1Cs also says Parnell has treated the
illustrious Englishman with q lamentable
want of courtesy. Whatever happens to
the Irish leader, the Liberal party must be
saved.
The STANDARD says even if ParneIl de-
cides to temporiZe the sting will not be re-
moved from the minds OF English Home
Rulers.
The Post says Parnell's action threatens
to dissolve the Home Rule alliance more
suddenly than it was formed.
The Times makes savage attack upon
Gladstone saying nothing can conceal tie
fact that it rests entirely with the chief of
a criminal conspiracy to close the career OF
the quondam Liberal leader with the most
ignominious taSco.
