circular, advising the local authorities to
modify the distress among the unemployed
men, by making roads, constructing sew
ers and cleaning the streets, paying the
men employed to do the work regular
days. wages. The authorities, he adds,
should aim to be useful to labor, and
avoid making paupers OF those out OF

by the success OF the Shipping Fedora

to the directors of the federation to create
a labor exchange, with branches in every

The federation has agreed to act as a

A Boston Woman Wants Decree of Di.

DENVER, Col, Nov. 14.-Mrs. III. Nellie
Powers of Boston is in this city for the
purpose Of having decree OF divorce
granted her husband set aside.
II the statements in her petition to the
county court are true, Charles T.. Powers

swears not only that he never gained a
residence here, but that he never set foot
in the state. She knew nothing about the
divorce until after his death last Septem-
ber. Mr.. Powers was a retired merchant
OF Boston and left property valued at
goo, 900.
Judge Miller has made an order that
defendant show cause on or before Dec 5
why the decree should not be set aside.

AS DEAD AS THE WHIGS.

Gen. Weaver's Opinion of the Republican
Party-People's Party Power.
Dies MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 14.-General
Weaver, in conversation here, said that
the Peoples party held the balance of
power in nearly three fourths of the
states and will hold the balance of the
power in the senate after March 4 next,
besides controlling the legislatures OF six
or seven states.
He held that this would enable his par
ty to act as breakwater against vicious
legislation and enable Il to enforce econo-
mic measures, such as free coinage OF sill
yer and the adoption Of an American sys-
tenn of currency. He said the Democratic
party came into power as the result OF q
violent reaction of public sentiment and
not at the bidding OF the quiet, well-in-
formed people.
cratic party out OF power at the end Of
Cleveland's administration gave the Re-
publican party complete control OF the
government. The people were disappoint-
ed with Mr.. Harrison's administration
and second reaction more violent than
the first, has displaced the Republican and
relnstated the Democratic party, but with
this marked difference: 1t has given the
populists the balance OF power in the Up
per House Of Congress.
Gen. Weaver further said: The task
now before the Democratic party is i'm
possible OF solution from their standpoint.
IL they reduce the tariff taxes, there will
be deficit, unless they reduce IL to the
point that will stimulate importations
In order to keep up the revenue. In that
event labor will become dissatisfied and
the next sensation will be an explosion
that will break the party into fragments.
The Republican party is as dead as the
Wing party was after the Fremont cam
pfsign of 1855 and can never again seriously
give battle for national supremacy. The
new party is the coming factor in national
politics and 1t will be in power before the
advent OF the 10th century. 1t holds the
key of the political situation in America.

HE MUST SHOW HIS HAND.
Cleveland Must ACT Up to the Pledges Of
His Platform.

LONDON, Nov. 4.--In commenting on
the result OF the Presidential election ia
the United States, the Times says: 'The
Democratic victory is so complete that 1T
carries with 1t an obligation to act up to
the pledges OF the Chicago platform. 1t
is no longer necessary for Mr. Cleveland
to assume the hedging, minimizing tone
which marked the letter OF acceptance"
The Telegram this morning publishes
number OF interviews on the result of the
American election with representatives OF
various trade interests OF Great Britain.
The president and secretary OF the Shelf
field chap, Der of commerce and the heads
of various firms in that city are represent
ed as being pleased at Mr.. Cleveland's VIC
tory, but net sanguine OF any immediate
result in the way OF tariff reform.
A number OF interviews had in Liver
pool make it apparent that keen interest
is evinced there in the result, and that II
has been the chief topic OF discussion in
the cotton market, on the stock exchange
and among the frequenters of other busi-
ness centres OF that city. The opinions
expressed are various. Liverpool ship
owners especially have suffered from the
Mckinley law. In some quarters the hope
is expressed that although the Mckinley
law cannot be repealed, some temporary
modification may be made in favor OF
English goods.
e, The cotton trade, 1t appears, has suffered
less than some other interests, and its rep
resentatives are less excited by the news.
A number Of the interviews represent
the citizens OF Belfast as jubilant over Mr..
Cleveland's victory, and are talking Of
nothing else, the linen industry having
suffered severely through the Mckinley
tariff. Sir Daniel Dixon, the mayor OF the
city, who is shipowner, says he is re-
anticipates improved trade in her exports
and in freights.

Impossible without Bioodshed.

BERLIN, Nov. 14.-One Of the speakers
at the meeting ofsanarchists yesterday pro-
posed that the proletariat honor the mem
ory Of the Chicago anarchists who were
hanged for their part in the Haymarket
riot, by preparing for a general attack
upon the Bourgeoisei. Another speaker
declared that anarchists could reach the
goal only by way OF the prison and the
scaffold. A third speaker declared that
social revolution was, impossible without
bloodshed. He urgEI that a propaganda
by violence would be more potent than
any speeches in the Reichstag.
