GEN. HARRISON no FARMERS.
Addresses the National Congress-Ameri-
can PeonIe for Truth and Right.

can People for Truth and Right.
Indianapolis, Nov. 12.-The third
days session Of the Farmers National
congress had two important features.
One was an address by General Har-
rison and the other was the adoption
of a memorial to congress. General
Harrison was in happy mood, and
when he arose to speak he was greeted
enthusiastically He said:
Il suppose that politics is barred, as
this is an agricultural meeting. I'm
not an agriculturist, though born and
reared on a farm. My education was
paid for by the proceeds of corn and
hogs. 1t is a custom of the time for
men of particular occupation to as
sociate themselves to develop and cul-
tivate mutual interests. Such organi-
cations are to be encouraged, but we
must not forget that lawyers, farmers
and laborcrs have interests, and no one
class should try to get the better of the
others We are all rejoicing that you
are getting little more for your wheat
and corn, though it is at the expense of
us, who have to pay more"
tics. II have no patience with those
who are always fighting air" He ad-
vised men who believed that legisla-
tion was prejudicial to them to go
about a fight in a systematic way, not
fighting the air. 1t was plain that the
general was referring to a situation in
the recent campaign. He advised that
public sentiment be focused on what
ever question of unusual import was
brought before the people, and that
men go straight after what they want
ed. Then he told of how a brakeman
came and sat down beside him in the
train one day recently and told him
that he did not like the idea of this
thing of trying to array class against
class. This remark of the brakeman
pleased General Harrison. The general
further said:
Whatever they say about class in
terests, the great body Of the Ameri-
can people will work for truth and
right

board of fire commissioners to pur-
chase lot in the Tenth ward for the
purpose Of erecting thereon a fire en-
gine house, reported last evening at
the meeting Of the board, that a lot had
been contracted for and that a bond
had been executed for the delivery of
the deed. The board accepted the re-
port. The commissioners would not
give out the price paid, nor the 1oca-
tion of the lot A member Of the COM
mittee said that it was in the Tenth
ward, and that it was the eleventh lot,
for the purchase of which negotiations
had been entered into, but which had
not been consummated for various rea-
sons. can engine house seems to be as
undesirable as pest house." said one
Of the commissioners, ''but we do not
intend to give out where the lot is until
thedeed is recorded"
In contrast with the attitude that
some Of the citizens have assumed is
that of Mr.. Hubinger, who offered the
committee lot free Of charge on Els
worth avenue, near Edgewood avenue,
if they would put an engine house on
it.

gally and without License.

utes his failure to his imperfect knowl-
edge of the English tnguage, but the
Waterbury Medical society attributes
the failure to the Doctors imperfect
knowledge of medicine. 1siuidon claims
to BE- a graduate OF TIE University of

Indianapolis, Nov. 12.-President
Gompers of the Federation of Labor
was spoken to to-day about the refer
ence made to the federation by Master
Workman Sovereign of the Knights of
Labor in his annual address. Mr.. Com
pers said:
well, hardly think he is deserving
Of any attention. No one has ever paid
any attention to his schemes. Not even
when he ordered laboring men to lay
down their tools in 1894 was any heed
given to his words. His reference to
the federation has no effect whatever,
and as there are practically no mem
bers of his organization left we have
no worry over what he says"

why Caprivi in 1890 felt compelled to

ARCHBIsH0P IRELAND,s FUTURE.
Not Likely to be Removed, Though in Dis
grace at the Vatican


Rome, Nov. 12.-There is reason to
believe that the rumors of the removal
Of Archbishop Ireland of st. Paul,
Mimi, are unfounded. although the
archbishop has fallen into disgrace at
the Vatican. The case of the deposit
ton of an archbishop or bishop is one
of extreme rarity, only one Of the kind
having occurred during the eighteen
years of the papacy of Leo XIII, and
in this instance only when the prelate
had become almost a maniac.
The Vatican has received the pro-
posal of three names for the rectorship
of the Catholic university at Washing
ton to succeed Bishop Keane. All of
the candidates are judged to be wor-
thy Of the position and the choice will
consequently be difficult.
