Irish Members Sad.

LONDON, Nov. 25.--It transpires that
during the trial of the O'Shea divorce
case the Nationalist members of pallia-
ment pledged themselves to support
Mr.. Parnell, whatever the result of the
trial might be, and not to consider the
sentiment of the English Liberals in
the matter. Sir Charles Russell, in Il
speech at Hackney, said that many
Irish members were sad at heart
because of the calamity that had
befallen the cause of Ireland. He
believed they wished that Parnell
would bow his head to the storm and
recognize the fact that he had inflicted
serious wound upon the conscience of
the people of both countries. and had
damaged the cause for which he had
fought so long. The Irish members met
at 10 O'Clock, as arranged, without Par
nell, who was in another part of the
house. Another meeting has been ar
ranged for tomorrow. Several Liberal
candidates have written letters an
nouncing that they withdraw from the
field, foreseeing certain defeat. The
Parnellites openly assert that they mean
TO stick to Parnell, even if they should
delay home rdle fifteen years by so
doing.

MAY WORK OUT BETTER.

The kind-hearted and devoted ladies
who have been leading the forces that
would have prohibition employ the
gives of legal pressure can hardly fail
now TO look over the field with the most
serious disirust that they have been try
ing a real medicant for the evils of the
perverse indulgence. They will note
that Nebraska has just thrown their
hope over by 10000. They know that it
has bec0mea mockery in Kansas and
Iowa. The Dakotas will desert it as the
novelty wears off. 1t has no force in
Maine or any other state. Sympathetic
and discerning friends who would not
miSlead them for the largest mundane
consideration reluctantly advise them
that legal prohibition has been found
Of society. Accepting this view,
possibly the ladies who have stood SO
loyalty by the wasting hope may see fit
to take a new departure and seek prac-
teal results in place of fruitless aspir-
ing to the uHattainable. Suggestion of
this may be found III the treatment of
t he traffic in Norway, as described in
recent lecture by Mr.. SToDDARD, who
is regarded as reliable authority.
He says that since the government took
control of the traffic drunkenness has
been reduced very largely, the quality
of the liquor has improved and the
morals of the people have been pro-
NOTED. TIE traffic there is operated by
the government as exclusively as the
mails are in this country. The liquor
sellers are salaried officials selected Oh
the civil service plan. and have no i'll
ducement to encourage people to drink
or spend time i'll saloons. There are
no games. and nothing to gather
people more than at groceries or eating
houses. Whether lady dispensers are
allowed is not stated. but the claim is
that more is effected in practical way
for sobrlety and decency than by other
systems. The government takes about
5 per cent of the profits. and the rest is
divided among the educational estab-
lishments. art galleries, museums. parks
and other public improvements. There
are several people in this country who
are familiar with the situation in Nor
way, and can advise the ladies as to the
accuracy of this picture. They can
judge whether it is an Improvement
upon the condition in this country in
the results to which all high citizenship
should aim.

The attempt of the Republicans, un-
der the direction of BILL CHANDLER,
to steal the senator from the Democrats
in New Hampshire, promises to be as
fragrant and sensational as the Montana
case. The governor has been induced
to call the old legislature that expires
with the year to meet next week to find
some legal status, if possible. for an eX-
cuse for their willing clerk to put the
"if entitled Oh the rolls at the organi-
cation, and thereby secure control of the
body. The Democrats have clear ma
jority of the members whose seats are
unqueStiOned. 1t is the constitutional
right of the legislature to determine as
to the election and qualification of its
own members. This it is proposed to
set aside to subserve the party need.

For the Curative Lympb.

BERLIN, Nov. 25.-One of the hospi-
tails in this city has already refused the
applications of 400 physicians who have
come here to study the Koch method OF
treatment, on the ground that it is i'm
practicable to instruct successfully the
large number of those who desire to
study the method. Already 1000 for
eigh doctors have arrived here for the
purpose of informing themselves re-
garding the treatment. Prof. Koch has
been elected an honorary member of the
Society for the Preservation of the Pub
lie Health. DR.. Koeller, chief of the
charity hospital here. while admitting
that marvellous effects have been pro-
duced by the injection of Prot. Koch's
curative lymph. declares that as vet
there has been no certain experience of
the lasting nature of cure. DR..
koeller says. however, that the lymph
has proved Indispensable in diagnosing
eases i'll which there was doubt of the
existence of tuberculosis.

QuarreIing Over Lymph.

= BERLIN, Nov. 25.-Dr. Gerhardt. in a
lecture to physicians upon Prof. Koch's
discovery today, showed several pa
tients who had experienced no reaction
with fever after an injection of the
curative lymph. DR.. Gerhardt stated
that case could not be diagnosed upon
the absence of fever after the first in
lection. The reaction, he said, depended
upon the patients constitution.
Arrangements are being made
for the holding of torch
light procession of students in honor of
Prot. Koch. DR.. Levy, Prof. Koch's as
sistant, has written letter to the Ma
tional Zeitung with reference to the
charge that his secretary had demanded
from private patient in the Davis san
itarium, who was suffering from
phthisis, a fee of 800 marks for each in
lection of the lymph. DR.. Levy says
that he had Instructed his secretary to
refuse all applications for treatment
made by persons afflicted with phthiSis,
and that if the demand was made it was
without his knowledge. The Zeitung
declares that the explanation offered by
DR.. Levy is not satisfactory.

because they wished to pocket the
plumber. Earl Granville, Liberal, made
a speech congratulating the government
that 1t was able to report that there
were prospects of permanent peace.
Though all reference to the new Amer
lean tariff law had been avoided in the
speech from the throne. he must express
the regret of the Liberals at the stand
taken by the Americans in favor Of
prohibition, which. he asserted, would
give rise to an enormous amount of
smuggling and other evils to the Amer
lean people. SO far as England was
concerned, compensation would be
found in the increase in trade with
Africa and the colonies. The reaction
i'll America would operate upon Euro
pean opinion as warning against pro-
hibitive tariffs. He referred to the
recent financial crisis, and asked the
premier to state what action the govern
ment had taken in regard thereto,
and also what attitude it would
assume with reference to the Stan
ley expedition and the plumbers
OF the Tipperary prosecutions.
Lord Salisbury then addressed the
house. He referred to the bereavement
OF the Earl of ROsebery, and said that
his enforced absence deprived the
house of valuable. criticism upon the
governments foreign policy. Regard
ing the Mckinley tariff law Lord Sails
bury would not say that Engiand's
trade with Africa and the colonies would
Immediately compensate her for the
loss caused by the American tariff. but
1t would be a motive for preventing ter
rltory i'll Africa from falling into the
hands of nations exercising prohibition
lt was lamentably true, he said, that
the colonies did not follow the mother
land in free trade, yet it was fact that
the trade of Australia increased faster
than elsewhere. The premier said he
could not discuss the recent financial

progress were of confidential char

MEN WITHOUT BARRELS.

There are very wide extremes found
in the reports given of the personal
expenses of those who have been elected
to congress. They range from amounts
covering the entire salary of the two
years term down to almost nothing. In
many cases wealthy men are reported
to have expended vastly more, and
friends and interests have perhaps used
sums that are absurdly great when COM
pared with the legitimate return of the
position. There is perhaps no eXag-
geratlon in the current statement that
$4,000 was spent in the MCKINLEY
district to effect his election. Fosters
district, in that state, CANNoN's, in
Illinois. and others absorbed very
large barrels. 1t is one of the en-
couraging facts of the immediate
time that in the majority of the cases
the debauching use of money has failed
to fully meet the desired end. The
popular current was too sweeping to be
resisted in that way. Them most anthem
tic statements of the expenses of caudi-
dates are brought out under the new
law in New York. A Republican Dom-
inee in district not regarded as at all
doubtful reports that his expenses sub
stantially equaled his entire salary. The
extreme contrast is found in the case of
the reformer elected to congress
in Illinois, who refused to con-
tribute single dollar toward
the expenses of the campaign. He
would not aid in the payment
for his own tickets, SAYING that
those who wanted to vote for him
should write their own ballots. He is
the same man who, in 1874, if the name
is remembered, made a similar state
ment after he had been nominated to
state Office by the grangers. He was
man OF large means, and claimed to be
actuated by principle, not mere mig
gardliness. But practical politics do
not admit of that ethical attitude. A
man honored with nomination to a re-
spectacle office is an migrate to force all
the burdens upon his political friends.
There are legitimate expenses, indis-
pensable outlays of money, and the
candidate should contribute to them
reasonably, especially if the office is a
desirable one financially, and he has
a fair chance of election. But
the point has been repeatedly
insisted upon in these columns
that the law should define the proper
expenses of candidate, and limit the
expenditures by any parties in his in
terest. There are men in congress-
honest. patriotic and useful, who give
their time and abilities to their con-
stituents unreservedly, and have no
other means of supporting themselves
and their families than the salaries off
their positions. They are unable to af-
ford to pay any considerable part of
their income to secure their election.
and should not be required to. The
New York man who spends his salary
in the campaign must either be Wealth.
or expect to make some illegitimate nse
of his official influence. The law should
fix very moderate amount as the
limit of election expenses, and bring
to rigid account every man who has any
recognized position in relation to the
canvass and election. There should be

KIND BUTFIRM.
Mr.. Gladstone Declines to Work
With ParneIl.

-
With ParneII.
LONDON, Nov. 25.-At the request of
Mr.. Gladstone, Mr.. Morley has COM
municated to Mr.. Parnell the following
letter, written OH Monday:
Dear Mr.. Morley: Having arrived
at certain conclusion with regard to
the continuance of Mr.. Parnell's leader
ship OF the Irish party, l have seen Mr..
Mccarthy on my arrival in town, ard
have inquired from him whether | am
likely to receive from Mr.. Parnell him
self any communication Oh the subject.
MIR. Mccarthy replied that he was I'M
able to give me any information. |
mentioned to him that in 1882 after
the terrible murders in Phoenix
park, Mr.. Parnell, although to-
tally removed from any idea of
responsibility, had spontaneously
written me and offered to take the
Chiltern hundreds, an offer much to his
honor, but which L thought it my duty
to decline. While inclining to the hope
of communication from Mr.. Parnell,
to whomsoever addressed, / thought it
necessary, viewing the arrangements
for the commencement Of the session
to acquaint MIR. Mccarthy with the con-
ciuSlon at which, after using all the
means of observation and reflection in
my power, l had myself arrived. 1t
was that. Notwithstanding the splendid
services rendered by Mr.. Parnell to his
country, his continuance at the present
moment in the leadership would
be productive of consequences dis
aStrouS in the highest degree to the
cause of Ireland. [ think | may be
warranted i'll asking you so 5far
TO expand the conclusions given above
as to add that Mr.. Parnell's continu-
ance as leader would not only place
many hearty and effective friends of
the Irish cause in position of great
embarrassment, but would render my
retention of the leadership of the Lib
eral party, based as it has been mainly
upon the prosecution of the Irish cause,
almost anullity. This expansion OF my
views l begged Mr.. Mccarthy to regard
as confidential and not intended for his
colleagues generally, if he found that
Mr.: Parnell contemplated spontaneous
action; but also begged that he would
make known to the Irish party at their
meeting tomorrow that such was nv
conclusion if he should find that Mr..
Parnell had not in contemplation any
step of the nature indicated. L now
write you in case Mr.. Mccarthy should
be unable to communicate with Mr..
Parnell, as understand you may posi-
bly, have an opening tomorrow through
another channel. Should you have such
an opening beg you to make known to
Mr.. Parnell the conclusion stated in
this letter. I have thought it best to
put it in terms simple and direct, much
as l should have liked had it lain in my
power to alleviate the personal nature
of the situation as respects the manner
of conveying what my public duty has
made it an obligation to say. rely en-
tirely on your good feeling, tact and
Judgment.

The German Floods.

BERLIN, Nov. 25.-Dispatches from
Elberfeld say that the Wupper river
has risen and that five persons have
been drowned in the floods Two
bridges have been carried away and
other damage done. The neighboring
town of Barmen is flooded. AT Rostock,
on the Warnow river. the timber yards
are submerged, and at Warnemunde,
the outp0rt of Rostock, ON the Baltic,
the esplanade has been destroyed.
Both rivers are still rising.
Dispatches form Kiel. Schleswig and
Lubbock report that all those places are
flooded as well as extensive tracts Of
land on the Baltic coast. The damage
is enormous.
At Khala houses were blown down
and seventeen persons were drowned.
Similar disasters and floods are reported
from Jena, GoschwitZ and elsewhere,
and travel is interrupted over the rail
way between here and Munich.

NOT TOO MUCH MONEY.

Recent computations from those in
official relations 10 government finances
give the total of the coin and paper
money now in circulation in this coun-
try as 81 ,435, 100000, or about 5000 per
capita. The corresponding figures show
that Great Britain has slightly less, and
Germany a small percentage more.
France, Oh the other hand. is given
$3.50. more than double that of the
United States. France is a conserva-
tive nation in financial management.
and it has not been alleged that its cur
rency is unreasOnably inflated. 1t is an
old country, with its resources devel-
oped in great measure, and does not
afford the opportunities for the use of
capital found in this new world, with
its vastly greater geographical extent.
The masses in France have more of the
property of the country than in any
other European land. The danger of
an excess of currency in the United
States does not seem serious.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-It is learned that
Mr.. Gladstone had an interview with
Mr.. Parnell before the publication of

urged Mr. Parnell to retire from the
leadership of the Nationalist party.
The publication of the letter caused in
tense excitement in the lobbles of the

gathered in groups and informally dis
cussed the situation resulting from Mr..
Gladstohe's action. Finally a formal
meeting of the Nationalist members was
called for 10 O'Clock Tonight.
