Elk GOV. ALTGELD's SPEECH.

w.
Ex-Governor John P. Altgeld, of H.
linois, addressed an audience of about
one thousand people at Washington
Park, near Philadelphia, on the Della
ware river, yesterday afternoon. His
subject was municipal andGovernment
Ownership md Government by IDjunc-
tion.n The event which took the e1.
Governor there was the Labor Day eel.
ebration by the United Labor League
of Philadelphia. President Ernst Kreft
occupied the chair and made the open
ing address. He then introduced Mr..
Altgeld, who said in part:
"The most serious problem that con-
fronts the people of America to-day
aside from the financial question is that
of rescuing their cities, their States and
the federal government, including the
federal judiciary, from absolute control
of corporate monopoly. We have had
thirty years of colorless politics, in
which both political parties were sim
ply conveniences for organised greed.
All of this falls with crushing force
on the laborer, for his hands
must earn the taxes the landlord
pays; he is forced to depend on the public
conyeniences, and always suffers under bad
government. An individual rarely has in
tsrest enough or money enough to bride q
city council or buy legislature, but the cor
porations have both. The world is not ripe
for the application of socialism. There are as
yet hundreds Of things that cannot be done
successfully by the State, and that must be
left to the individal."
Mr. Atgeld advocated government owner.
ship of the great monopolies as the solution OF
the present problems in this country, and
showed how such plan has worked abroad.
He spoke of the progress of government by
injunction" and denounced the use of courts
by corporations. Let us save our institu.
tions," he said in conclusion. Government
by injunction must be crushed out. But this
cannot be done so long as Congress is made up
largely of men who are mere corporation con-
veniences 1t will be necessary to send men
to Congress who will be true to the people.
This may not happen at the Le1t election,
nor yet at the next, but it must come, and
lqst come soon."

Queen Victoria Averted War.

LONDON, Sept. TIT was the direct
personal Intervention of Queen Vic
toria, on her own initiative, that avert
ed war between the United States ard
Great Britain over the seizure of Mt.
son and Slidell on q British ship during
the civil war. This historical fact is re-
vealed by writer of current fact 10 the
latest issue of the British Quarterly Re
view, whose contributors, though
anonymous, are all men Of high stand
ing in literature and politics. He says:
SIT was the Queen herself, in
opposition to the views of her
ministers and of the distinguish
ed man in question, who averted war.
She insisted that the dispatch which
was sent to America demanding pers
emptorily the surrender of the ENJOYS
should be communicated at once to all
the powers, and the grave conse-
quences of a conflict, from an interna.
tional point of view, pointed out. The
result was an able State paper was sent
to Washington by M. Thouvenel, stat
ing that France regarded the act of the
American captain who had arrested the
Confederate ENJOYS on board the
English ship quite upjusti6able, and
expressing the hope that the Fed
eral government would socede to
the demands of Great Britain.
Austria and Prussia Immediately fol
lowed suit. Prince Gortschakoff, on the
part of Russia, urged President Lincoln
to surrender the ENJOYS without delay.
These remonstrances from the powers
enabled the government at Washing
ton to escape without humiliation from
an untenable position, and saved Eng
land from entering into war which
would in all human probability have
ended in the disruption of the Ameri.
can Union and sown the seeds of death
less enmity between England and the
progressive and powerful northern
States"

The NEW YORK SUN agrees with Mr..

tory, of false notions, unworthy preju
dices, and base passions into the hearts

been invited by the business men" OF
Richmond to hold their next reunion in

Mr.. Smith nor the Sun, for they have
directed the preparation of q history to

Tending their homes and firesides.

NEW YORK, Sept. Richard Croker
was a passenger by the American line
steamer New York which arrived to-
day. Mr.. Croker's fellow passengers
have come to the conclusion that he is
to be the Tammany Hall candidate for
mayor of the Greater New York. The
understanding among Mr.. Croker'S
friends is that he is very strongly in.
clined to permit the use of bis name as
a candidate for mayor, though he is I'm.
willing that an announcement snonid
be made to this effect before he has had

LONDON, Sept. 1.-THE Duke and
Duchess of Rio Grande were arraigned
10 the Marylebone police court this
morning, charged with defrauding no.
tells and boarding houses. The Duke,
is said to be Brazilian nobleman and
the Duchess, it is asserted. is a niece OF
e1. United States Senator Omar D. Con-
ger, of Michigan. The prisoners were
brought up in the midst of motley as
semblage OF ragged criminals. They
had slept in cells at Holloway. A no.
EEL keeper and the landladies of two
boarding houses confronted the couple
in court to-day. The defense claimed
that the prisoners offered security in
bills, but the magistrate said it was
clear cause of defrauding the hotel and
boarding houses, and he remanded
the prisoners for week. The female
prisoner appealed to the United States
embassy for protection, on the ground
that she was an American, but the en-
bassy officials replied that she forfeited
her citizenship by marryinga foreigner.
The en- bassy, however, will be repre-
sented at the trial. The woman is we'll
known il New York ss Mrs. Clara Con-
ger. She married de Mel there in 1888.
The Brazilian minister says there is no
such title as Duke of Rio Grande.

The New York Sun says: at Is i'm
possible to wriggle awsy from the Chi.
cago platform. A man is either for 1t
or against it. If he is against it he will
not vote for candidates who represent

candidates do represent and stand for
it, or they would not be democratic. !"
This is undoubtedly true, and as the
Sun does not stand for the Chicago
platform, it is not democratic, nor does
it pretend to be. The Sun has joined
the republican party, and is now fight.
ing for it as it formerly did for the
