RESULT OF A CATASTROPHE.

An important appointment was made in
police circles yesterday, for which large
number of candidates applied. Owing to the
death few days ago of the black feline who
has held the position of ratcatcher at police
headquarters for a number of wears, it be-
came incumbent upon the officers in charge
of the station to appoint a successor.
large number of candidates applied for the
post,and stated that owing to their acQuaint-
ance with the work, they were fully compe-
tent TO fulfill the duties OF the office. A son
of the deceased ratcatcher named the Black
Pearl was nominated by Jaiier O'Keefe, who
stated that he had known the candidate from
his birth. He had watched his career care
fully, and felt no hesitation in saying that, if
the Pearl were appointed. he would faithfully
carry out his duties. The nomination was
seconded by Telegraph Operator Flint and
made unanimous on the motion of Lieut..
Schweitzer. The Pearl returned thanks in
number of news and purrs, and Immediately
took up the duties of his office.

BACK INTO EGYPT

In this same spiritpeople who little
while ago stormed at McKinleyIsm, and
who, when they saw sugar freed from
duty go down and other commodities
weighted with duty go up, recognized
that the tariff was tax, are now she'd
ding their discomfort and growing
new plumage of serfdom to a party
name. The tariff is working wonders
for u.s." they say once more, and rejoice
that they are emancipated from the
pain of a new idea and can get back
into the shelter of the Republican fold.
They read the newspaper tidings of
thirty bushels of wheat to the acre, of
an aggregate yield of 159, 0OO, 900 bushels
for these three states, and of a million
bushels a day shipped to Europe. where
year ago million bushels a week
were carried, and they thank God for
the wisdom of Tom REED and his crew,
which has brought us to the verge
of great prosperity. To hear them
talk one would think that the
hardy farmer upturned his burrows
with a ploughshare made of taxes, that
the rain and sun of heaven beat upon
provided for at Washington, and that
the crop failures in Europe, which are
creating so active a demand for our
produce, were precipitated by the new
customs duties which have gone into
effect during the past year. On any
other question they could reason clearly
and accurately, but in matters like these
they substitute party cries for good
judgment, and use their traditional de-
yotion TO party names as a counter to
save themselves from mental effort.
The Democracy needs to remember
these things, and TO calculate on the
evanesence of independent political
thought in America. For some cause
which Deed not be here discussed, the
tendency of the average citizen in this
country is to adhere to the side to
which he has once given his support.
He will pass away from it for awhile
under the pressure Of great excite
ment, of warm appeals. or of a
sense of personal injury. But he
yearns for it, and misses its COM
panionship as the man misses his wife
with whom he has lived for years. ana
from whom he has separated because her
character was bad and her heart untrue.
Give him preteXt or an excuse, and he
will go back to her in spite of his
memory of past difficulties and unhappy
experiences. So let the Republican who
has come out from Egypt and declared
himself free to follow henceforth his
own convictions see an avenue for con-
venient return. and he will nestle up
against the body he had parted IRON
forever. He will feel sense of con-
tentment and security in old associa-
tons and in the slavery of a renewed
union which debases him because he
realizes that it is adulterous and SCARED
with the sins which come from faint
ed record. The sunshine of complete
emancipation blinds the eyes of the
partisan, and he is glad for the dungeon
cell to which he IS accustomed. The
Democracy, in its struggle for high prin-
ciples, can secure the cooperation of
those who have once been sunk in the
darkness of Radlcaiism only bya con-
slant, uninterrupted and intelligent
effort to sustain them in their good re-
solves.

LABOR AND LAND.
The Public Should Pay for Labor
REPRESENTATIVES,.

NEWCASTLE, Oct. 2.-On the subject
of labor legislation, Mr.. Gladstone
said: 1.-The great enfranchisement of
1885 added 3,0OO,O0 to the constituency.
But much remains to be done. Labor
representation in parliament must be
extended. lean hardly say it admits of
an addition of moral force. An addition
of numerical force is not only desir-
able, but is in the highest degree urgent.
Nothing proves more distinctly the
soundness of the heart and mind of the
people of England than the choice made
OF labor representatives.
''lf we have more labor candidates GER
tain consequences follow. Thus the
necessary expenses of elections should
not be drawn from the pockets of the
candidates, but should be charged upon
the ratepayerS as public function. The
cost justly appertaiDS to the public
purse. Nothing can be clearer than the
title of such members TO receive such
aid from the public treasury as will en-
able them to discharge the task imposed
upon them for the public benefit"
Touching the questing of rural pop
ulation and county councils, Mr.. Glad
stone said: 1t is among the indispensa-
blefduties of the Liberal party when in
power to establish district and parish
councils to bring self-government to the
door Of the laboring man through
out the country, and. boldly add, to
enact compulsory powers enabling suit
able bodies to acquire land in order to
place the rural population on nearer re-
lations to use and profit from the land
they have SO long titled for the benefit
of others, Tut for themselves>aImost in
vain. Reform of the land laws and
abolition of entail, with facilities to
transfer land, are absolutely necessary
to do anything like justice to those in
habiting rural parishes.
Coming to the difficult questions
lately raised in regard to the hours of
labor, view with satisfaction and SYM
pathy, and with the liveliest pleasure,
the large reductions in the amount of
toll exacted which my fellow citizens
have achieved i'll the last twenty years,
l wish we'll to all further reductions
that 1t may be possible to achieve with
out violation of the rights of any man.

ALL KICK AT HIM.

PORTER, the census man, is being
kicked so generally, and with little re-
gard to party, that it may yet be neces-
sary to bestow little sympathy on him.
The special committee of the National
Civil Service Reform league, appointed
to inquire how the reform law is being
carried out, has Just made report on
the census bureau, as related to it. The
situation has been made an exhaustive
study, and the conclusions are not
favorable. The appointment of PORTER
was made in disregard of the spirit of
the reform, and he has been persist
ent sneerer at the methods it exacts.
The committee is convinced that he was
selected in order that the bureau might
be made to do partisan work, and he
has carried out this policy as far as his
ability and rare capacity for bungling
could enable him to. The report speci-
fies in detail wherein the law
ana the reform have been wantoniy put
TO shame for partisan ends. The re-
Quirement of non-partisan competitive
examinations for clerical positions in
the bureau was distinctly set aside. in
violation of the Republican platform of
1888 and the letter of the president
in Endorsement of it. The appoint
ments in this service were made for po-
Htical reasons. in direct violation of
provision of the census act. This the
committee regards as very serious
matter. AS result, the work was
largely in the hands of incompetents, or
those more anxious to subserve partisan
ends than to do efficient work. There
is general distrust of the accuracy OF
many parts of the work, thus rendering
it of doubtful value. 1t will be noted
that some of the members of this com
mittee have been influential Republi-
cans, and not disposed to find causes of

CHURCH AND PEERS.
Disestablishment for One, Warn
ing for the Other


NEWCASTLE, Oct. 2.-Touching the
Welsh and Scotch church disestablish-
ment questions, Mr.. Gladstone said: Il,
a resident of Wales and Scotch repre-
sentative, shall not embroil myself in a
pitiless controversy. l shall simply as
sure Scotland and Wales that they have
the unanimous support of the Liberals.
1t does not depend upon those conduct
ing Liberal affairs in parliament wheth-
er Scotch or Welsh diseStablIshment
takes precedence. If the Scotch gam
precedence their gain will help the
Welsh. If the Welsh precede, their
victory will help the Scotch"
MIR. Gladstone then took up the QueS-
ton of the abolition of hereditary peers.
81 desire to pass lightly over the diff
cult question of the house of lords. Ow-
subjects, this question at present is
rather in the shade. But if the queS-
ton is remote, a mode exists whereby it
may be made approximately very near
indeed, a burning question; that Is, If
in an evil hour the peers be tempted to
listen to the counsel given by Lord
Salisbury when he contemplated the
possibility of Liberal victory at the
general election and reminded them
that all would not be over even if the
house of commons should pass the home
rule bill; that they might still rely on
the place of other parts of the constitu
ton.
There is but one part of the constitu-
ton that could possibly perform such
prank as interpoSe itself between the
deliberate judgment of the nation and
the incorporation of that judgment in
the form of law-and that is the house
of lords. They tried that game in 1881
Throughout the proceedings on the re-
form bill. The consequence was they
had to undergo most painful humila-
ton, as they only succeeded in delay
ing the measure year, and they them
selves destroyed whatever confidence
the people then had in them.
1.-The establishment of free press
has done more than any other single
cause to educate the country, and to it
we mainly owe the vast extension of the
franchise which has enabled us to null
tiply tenfold those who take part in
elections. | hope and believe that the
lords will not accept the deplorable
suggestion of the premier. But should
they be seduced, they will themselves
be the first to repent, and those who
address you from this platform will not
tell you then that the question of the
house of lords is remote, but they will
tell you that it shall have precedence
over every other question, because then,
upon that alone, will depend the ques-
ton. whether the country is self-gov-
erning or whether there is power, not
ON or behind the throne, but between
the throne and the people, able to stop
the action of the constitutional ma
chine which has now been perfected, or
brought near to perfection, by the la
bors, struggles, zeal and wisdom of
many generations"

MAY BE REPEATED.

In view of their peculiar history and
passages back several thousand years.
In which their prosecutors came to
grief, il would not be surprising if the
Hebrews over the world should look
upon the present Affections of the Rus
sian people as having some sequential
relation to the treatment accorded their
people in Russia. In the olden time
they were the ''chosen people," and it
is not believed that the Divine Being
has ceased to follow them with kindly
solicitude. Egypt, then leading ma
ton, once had rulers that filed the car
role. The Hebrews had become resi-
dents OF the country, and were griev-
ousiy imposed upon. They had
less freedom than the serfs anu
peasantrY of Russia. Finally they

demanded to be allowed to migrate as
body. In one respect the comparison
with Russia fails. The latter is compel
ing migration. But the spirit displayed
toward them was the same in both
cases. a series of disasters came upon
the ancient prosecutors. These have at
least suggestion of the Affections of
Russia. There is the famine in districts
from which some of the Jews are being
driven. Pestilence has joined hands
with starvation, and together they have
caused thousands to perish. Animals
and people have numbered the way
with their dead bodies. Fires have
blackened field and town, and the To-
Gusts have darkened the sun and de-
stroyed vegetation. If there was Divine
wrath in the first instance. who can al
Iege that it has been exhausted?

A STARTLING

VIENNA, Oct. 2.-The impression is

at an onslaught by Russia on Turkey,
but the British government refused
either to be cOerced or caiOled, and
Russia was beaten in the war that fol-
