"There is one debt that this government

That was the true patriotic sentiment

that sentiment must not be abridged.

and Skill of our people no party can long

THE SHOCK OF BIG GUNS.
Unpleasant Sensations Produced by Their
Reports.


Reports.
The man who has never been in
close proximity to one hundred-ton
gun when it is fired can have little
conception of the noise and vibra ton,
said retired naval officer to Cincin-
natl Enquirer reporter. Partly by
courtesy and partly by chance I was
on the Thunderer at the siege of
Alexandria some twelve or thirteen
years ago. Two sets of advice were
given me as to how to act when the
big guns were fred. Old experienced
seamen can stand the shock by raising
on their toes the moment the word is
given to fire. The majority of people,
however, find it necessary, in order to
preserve their ear drums from perfora-
ton, to lie down, resting most of the
weight on their hands and toes. Even
with this precaution the sensation is
most unpleasant until one gets used to
it. Even with the comparatively small
guns IN general use in our navy, the
conclusion on board ship when a
shot is fired is very annoying, but the
enormous guns used so generally in
European navies are a source of
terrible danger to the crew as we'll as
the enemy, and doubt if they could
possibly be used in hand-to-hand en-
counter, useful as they are for Destroy
ing distant ports.

9ermsny's Pigeon Service.

Germany has for years possessed the
most efficient pigeon service in Europe.
At Surasburg there are six hundred
birds, at Metz six hundred, at Thorn
one thousand, and they are kept by the
hundreds rat other centers, such as
Mainz, Cologne, Kiel and Danzig. The
whole frontier is connected by pigeon
post with the military headquarters
and with towns IN the interior. The
service is supported by an appropria-
ton of about nine thousand dollars a
year. The practical use of the pigeon
post was fully demonstrated at the
siege of Paris in 1870. Since then it
has become q recognized part of the
military organization of all European
countries except Great Britain. Russia
has now on her Polish frontier alone
three thousand birds, and appropriates
yearly ten thousand dollars for pig.

THE "WALTz KINGS" JUBILEE.
The Great MUSICIAN WIN s4uire an Extra
Building for His Gifts.


VIENNA, Oct. 15.--Musicians from nll
parts of the world arc celebrating today
the golden jubilee Of the king Of the wnltz,
Johann Strauss. 1t Is fifty years since he
welded n baton, and Americans have con-
tributed silver wreath for the OCCASION
Rudolph Aronson was the promoter Of the
Idea, and all the great musicians of Amer
lea have contributed. The wreath pre-
sented by the Americans is Of sterling
silver, sixteen inches In diameter, and WIS
designed by Mr.. Paulding Farnh,.m, Of
Tiffany Il Go. There are fifty leaves, on
each of which the name Of a composition
OF Strauss Is engraved. The "waltz
kings" portrait, modelled In relief on n
gold Tyre, with few bars Of his famous
"On the Beautiful Blue Danube" waltz,
adorns the apex of the wreath.
No member of the imperial family has
yet congratulated Herr Strauss, whose eel
ebration appears to be supported by tho
bourgcoise and artistic classes. The aris-
tocruts and ollicialdom hold aloof. The
composer Brahnna, Pauline Luciea and
other musical celebrities attended the
noon concert yesterday. Herr Strauss snt
in the background of one Of the central
boxes, with his wife and stcpdaughter In
front of him, but was repeatedly com
PEELED by the plaudits Of the asseinblage To
come forward and bow.
The scenes at the opera house Saturday
and at the concerts yesterday were Of un-
paralleled enthusiasm. There was hardly
writer, actor or musician in Europe who
did not send gift. Strauss splendid
homo is already u museum, and it will
require new building to display the
astounding number Of magnificent pres
ents he has received.

THE BELGIAN ELECTIONS.
Clericais Win Under the Compulsory
Graded Voting System.

BRUSSELS, Oct. 15.-Eleetions for the
me embers OF the chamber of deputies were
held throughout Belgium yesterday. The
voting was under the new compulsory
system, which provides severe penalties for
non-votcrs. The electors were divided into
three classes, as follows: Ono year resi-
dents over 20 years of age, who were en-
Titled to one vote; married men and Wild
overs with families, who pay personal
tax Of five francs to the state, who had two
votes, and priests and others Of position
and education, who had three votes. The
Clerical party under this Ey'stem had great
voting strength.
The elections were orderly, except at
Alost, In East Flanders, where collisions
occurred between the supporters of Abbe
DaeHs Christian Socialist, and NJ. Woeste,
the Clerical leader, who few days ago
was stoned by a mob while proceeding to
q political meeting at Grammont, In East
Flanders, and forced to flee for his life.
The Catholic candidates have been re-
elected in all the Flemish towns with large
majorities. As far as ascertaincd at this
hour, 1t appears that the first trial of the
new constitution has resulted in severe
check for the moderate liberals to the
benefit Of the Clericals and Socialists.
The Clericals will remain the government
party, having opposed to them u divided
minority of Liberals and Socialists.

A MURDEROUS COUPLE.
Tho Sensational Story Revealed by .
woman's Confession.

CLEVELAND, o., Dot. l5.-Thc police Of
this city believe that the murderer of Mont
gomery Gibbs, Of Buffalo, has been run
down at last The woman Sadie Robin
son, who was taken TO Buffalo Saturday
night after confessing that Ii was she who
killed Gibbs, is believed to have told the
truth, in part at least. Her husband is In
jail here, charged with burglary, and n
cousin named Bert Snyder is also under
arrest on the same charge.
A detective said today that Snyder had
made a statement to tho police which
throws food Of light on the Gibbs mur
der. Snyder said That Robinson and his
wifo arrived In Buffalo early last spring
They were penniloss and decided to com.
init robbery to get money. The woman
donned mems clothing, and she and her
husband went to a lonely place GU Della
ware avenue to await for victim. Gibbs
was the first well dressed man who hap,
pened along. He was told TO throw up his
hands, and when he resisted Robinson shot
him. The couple then fed, and the next
morning they came to Cleveland.

with Joint Majority of One Hundred For

President Cleveland, in his letter to
Mr.. Catchings, Aug. 81, declares,
81 do not despair of the efforts made
by the house Of representatives to sup
plement the Gormanl bill already pass
ed by further legislation, and to have
engrafted upon it suoh notifications as
will more nearly meet Democratic hopes
and aspirations. ="
How about the Democratic senator II
further legislation is to be had, by which
the present law is to be supplemented,
Is 1t to be accomplished without the
Sugar trust Democratic senate, who are
never to be forgotten or forgiven?
Would it not have been more manly and
in harmony and consonance with the
usual course Of legislation for President
Cleveland to have returned this bill to
congress with q statement Of the facts,
such as is incorporated In his letter?
Note the following:
"It the German bill contains incon-
sistencies and crudities which ought not
to appear in tariff laws or laws Of any
kind. Besides there were, as you and l
well know, incidents accompanying the
passage of the bill through the congress
which made every sincere tariff reform
er unhappy, while influences surrounded
1t in its later stages and interfered with
its final construction which ought not
to be recognized or tolerated in Demo-
cratic reform counsels."
Here the president gives away the
whole case. rotten, corrupt. unintelli-
gent. unmeaning statute, calculated to
do untold injury to the industrial inter
ests Of the country, to rob on the one
hand and to enrich upon the other, and
yet, in the face of this awful confession,
Grover Cleveland stands and allows this
law to bo put into effect.
