On Monday Mr. Gladstone met the talk about the “‘treaty of Kilmainham” with a flat denial and a challenge to the tories to Invcetigate the subject if they &0 desired, The latter promptiy accepted the challenge and an inquiry which will bring out all the facts is probable, As Parnell denies that there was ever an understanding look- ing to a settlement of the difficulty between the leaders of the Land League and,the English ministry, the work of Lord Randolph Churchill and his committee is likely to make no new developments on the subject, The French socialistic agitation still continues. In Parisit is largely due to the “‘no rent” crusade, which has been preached among the poorer clase, Rents in Paris are very high. They are collected quarterly, and in the poorer parts of the city landiords are very exacting, the non-payment of rent being as a rule quickly followed by distress and eviction. The feeling against landlords are very strong at all times, and it is further stimulated just now by the agitation at Montoean- les-Mines. The placards which ap- up with their now more cheaply con- stracted competitor. This the present monopoly must do or give up business. The new cable will be used in connec- tion with the Baltimore & Ohio rail- road telegraphic system, and when completed will save money to the western press, Ir is understood that the United Siates grand jury now in session will iuvestigate the frauds committed dur- ing the late élection in this state. The national election lagwa give them that authority and impose severe penalties mpon thvse who in any way deprive +elgctors of an honest volce in the gov- eryment, Lot the investigation be a searching one. There is room for it right herein Omuha in the Third ward. Thore is » still larger fiold in the Thicdl disteict where the most tpve-faced frauds were committed to secure the election of E, K. Valen tine. The composition of the prosent peared one day were printed on red paper and were headed: ‘‘By the ex- ecutive committee of the defenders of the people.” The details for ef- foctually setting a house on fire were glven with diabolical minuteness. The houses in the meaner quarters are not built of brick, stone and iron, as may be sapposed, but are moatly of lath and plaster on aslim foundation of brick, though many of them are six or seven stories high. They are usu- ally provided with only narrow wind- ing stair cases, which is invariably of wood. It is plain that a quarf of kerosene or a handfal of sulphur or gunpowder, with a match, would set the whole frable instantly in a blaze. The placard bore internal evidence of being the work of comparatively well- elucated men, The police, of course, tore them down as eoon as they dis- covered them. Severai hundreds were found in different parts of this city. The sultan of Tarkey has taken the cloture bavirg n practically deeided, discussion in parliament during the week has been devoted to the minor details of the measure, in which the premier Mr. Gladstone has so far suc- coeded in stoering clear of any dis- cussion of the Egyptian polioy of the government, and Lord Dufferin has been perinitted to continue his negoti- legialation, and cannot pesceably en- ter Norway with Swedish troops. The cally reasserted the wegian dootrine laid down by elections emp rnson, and concessions on the part of King Oscar are confidently ex- 1| pectod In time of peace the Italian nation in preparing for war to a considerable extent. Thus, an English ship build- ing firm has just been given a contract for ten torpedo vessels, to be con- structed after the most perfect model known, When they are done ten more just like them will be made in Ttaly, and four others having’ some experimental features are also to bo constructed—the whole twenty-four within a few monthe, These vessels are to have a speed of twenty-one miles an hour, which is ahead of any- thing of the kind now afloat. In or der to secure rapid work inits arsenals the government has reccently adopted the contract system, and thereby has not only gained time but saved money. By tho end of next year three or four first-clasa iron-clads, now on the works, will have been finished. On one of them 1,200 men are at work. Two more ships and several torpedo boats are now in progrees in private yards, Altogether these various arm- amenta will cost $13,000,000 to 815, 000,000. The French government is getting compliments all around for the firm- ness which it displayed on the oceasion of the socialistic demonstrations at Monteau-les-Mines. The local author- ities, irresolute, or rather frightened half out of their wits, permitted the rioters to smash crosses and to sack churches to their hearts’ content. The central government, at last forced to Interfere, arrested twenty-three persons, and then punished them. This self-assertion was altogether ex- traordinary and unexpected. Later, inasmuch as there were signs of new outbreaks, several battalions of infan- try and some equadrons of cavalry were quartered in the neighborhood. The mcderate republican journals generally express approval of the course of the government, but the fr- reconcilable radicals, of course, make wry faces. The quarrel between Stanley and de Brazza does not appear to have had any untoward influence on the French colonization fever. The French ex- plorer professes to have concluded with an African prince a treaty, which needs only the ratification of the French government, to annex to the domain of France a large block of Af- rican territory. Stanley olaima that de Brazza has received no grant of 1and, but only authority to build a grand jary is such that we do 0ot be- | ;1) by tne horns, For a number of |railway, Bo that as it may, it is re- ltave it oan be frightened from doing yoars the Mohammedan world has ported that French engineers are its fall duty in the premises. Let it search the wmatter without fear or fa- vor. There seoms to be some pres- sure to irduce the jury to lock into the question of alleged crporkadaess in the matter of United States surveying contracts. Lf there is any good reason to believe that frauds have been committed i tlus department of the public serv- ice by which the government has been swindled, the matter ought to be probed to tke bottom, There ought to be no suspicion, however, that the investigation has been originated or is to be couducted for malicious or par- tisan purposes. Bat if the jury be- lieves that a crime has been com- mitted against the national treasury, it much search the business, no mat- ter whom the investigation hits or whom it may compromise, Oar grand juries have been too much like autoraatons in the past, It looks now asif we have secured one that means bnainass Spm—— TRIMMING SHIP, The. republican party at the late elec'is were only trimming ship. The result shows that when the body politic wants to shift from side to side a8 the coudition of the country seems to dewand, the operation is an essy one. For eeveral yoars parties have beeu so evenly divided thet s very small chn{gu going through a number of states would work great results, In Ohio the round number of the votes cast is 60,000. Tho wsjority given for either party has seldom exceeded five per cent of the whole number cast and has been as low as one per cent, In. disus bas been even more closely divided. Congreesional by the eame tenure, A change o five per cent would at any time take fitty members from one party and give them Lo the other, In tho late elections tho geivs while not in volving & change of a largs number of votes give house to very distriots throughout the union are often held the the democrats by a been agitating itself on account of a prediction, in some sacred writing or other, that a new prophet would ap- pear in the 1300th year of the estab. lishment of Islam, under whose pow- erful influence the Mohammedan faith would be revived to new spiritual energy and temporal triumph, By some legerdemain of chronology, this 1300th year has been made to fall upon 1882, though this is netther the anniversary of Mohammed’s birth, about B670; his first revelation, about 610; the hegira, in 622, nor any laier historical event in the calendar of Ts- lam. A prophecy brings its own ful- fillment, and, since the first of the yoar, Meossiahs have sprung up like mushrooms in all parts of the Moham- medan world.

This is a new direction for French ag- gressivn In Africa, and rather more laudable than an invasion of Tunis, There is renewed discussion in Aus- tralia concerning the project of a fed- eral Union batween the difterent colo- nies, There are now five colonies, and from present appearances this number is likely to increase. * The governments of the different colonies are quite dissimilar, and do not as nearly resemble each other as do the governmenis of the different states in this union.

Koowing the diffi culty of procuring spirita at hotels, the traveler supplies himseli at the larger towns, and carries brandy or whisky with him in his valise. Should he, unfortunately, run short, he will have little difficulty n getting a bot- tle of cognae or of Irith whisky from the landlord, and will find it entored in hia bill as ‘‘old sherry.” The Lon. don Times thus comments upon this system: “‘fhis is how over-strist laws defeat their object, They do not preveut drinking, and in the case of Norway they have not put down drunkenncss, whilo they tempt honeat men to risk their credit in devices which can hardly fail to have a de- moraliziog effect,” The foreign mails contain the de- tails of the recent treaty made be. tween Krance and the late Bey of Tunis. Under his provisions France undertakes to effect the redemption of the Tunisian debt, which amounts to $26,000,000, She also stipulates for the right of abolishing the finan- oial commission, of establishing a tribunal of justice, of reorganizing the would result in awakeninga common interest among people who are now widely separated, would put down the spirit of rivalry that now exists, and build up a sort of national sentiment, It is belioved by all that the establish- ment of a union would result in les- sening the expenses of protection, give the people much better postal the country, and building of more cause railroads the and is not exactly olear|the consolidation of the lines that now exist.

Laws applicable to cho entire territory of the island In regard to stopping the spread of nox. ious weeds, which multiply very fast, and in relation to live stock interests, are also greatly needed. The princi- pal thing that stands in the way of the proposed confederation is the tar- iff question, The scheme of the fed- eration was first started In the colony of Victoria, and at last accounts a motion was being debated in its legis- lature to invite a conference of all the colonies to meot at Melbourne to con- sider the propriety of taking the neceasary steps to eetablish a federal union, There is little doubt that the motlon will pass and that the confer- ence will meet, The liguor laws in Norway are somewhat restrictive, and sometimes give trouble to travelers who are not prepared for them, The license to soll wine and beer is distinet from the enso to sell spirits. All the hotels have the former, but very few of them even in the largest The consequence is that the ¥ in procuring sny time, but if he should ask for cognac, he wmust wait till it is procured for him from a house administration of public property, and of collecting the taxes. The treaty, besides, provides a civil list of $140,- 000 & year for the Bey (which he has not lived to enjoy) and future allow- ances for the princess to the amount of $200,000. The treaty, as the Lon- don Standard observes, ‘“‘constitutes not a simple protectorate, but a kind of diplomatioc annexation, which for France has the advantage of not 'llddling her with the burden involved in annexation, MR, CLEVELAND may consider him- self the coming man in the presiden- tial contest, but there is plenty of evidence that older democrats have no notion of abandoning the field. A majority of 200,000 is a big thing, but it eannot extinguish the fires of ambi- tion which have long burned in Bour- bon breasts. Col Henderson on the Election. Special to the Globe-Democrat. Dusuque, Ia., November 14.—Col. D. B, Henderson, the newly elected member for this district and secretary of the national republican congression- al campaign committee, arrived home this wmorning, looking robust and hearty after his arduous and unre- mitting labor of the past six months. He was interviewed by your correspondent as to the cause of the late republican defeat, end in regard to the latter, he maid it was largely due to the party allowing side issues, like the liquor question, to creep into importance, and quarrels among. the leaders. The atay-at-home vote was remarkably large in Ohio, 76,000 republicans refraining from vofi‘:s. A similar number had ab- sen| themselves from the polls in Penusylvania, and he estimated the total non-voting republicans in the country at 1,506‘,000. In regard to political assessments, he says that the report that any woman or boy or needy government empleye was assessed is untrue. By an inadvertence on the part of an officer of the house, circulars found their way into the hands of pages, but a8 800n a8 this became known the cir- culars were immediately withdrawn, Circulars were sent to postmasters, but when the committee was informed that a postmistress had received one she was instantly notified that no money was BXPECTED FROM HER. The report that women teachers in the Carlisle Indian school had been as- scssed was baseless. The committeo never had the name of even one of these ladies on the list. Not one in threo of the clerks in the department had paid, and the total amount of money received from all the govern- mant employes in the United States had not aggregated $10,000. The em- ployes of the government had fre- quently called upon him to say the, could not afford to pay, and in such cases he invariably and explicitly stated that if any man, by contrib- utiog to the fund would thereby stint his family, he was not only not doing his duty to the latter but was a scoundrel {nw the bargains. In a multitude of cases he had replied to parties who felt themselves unable to pay, that no money was expected or would be received from them. He had received many letters stating that if ho could secure the writer a place in government employ in Washington they would contribute to the fund $200. His answer was that neither he nor the committee were doing a brok- erage business, No man had ever been reported for refusing or neglect- ing to pay, and the colonel most em- phatically stated that although he was n n to know, he could not possibly tell who had or who MAD NOT PAID. Thers were generous men, who, if called on for contribations, would give 4 or b per cent of their salary and the committeo did not want to take too much from this class. It had fixed upon 2 per cent as u gavge. The re- queat for this amount was not in the form of » gommand. Voluntary con- tributi~us only were expected. No cases of hardship growing out of ns- sessments had been reported, and clerks who had paid, and whe re. ceived from §1,600 to $6,000 per year for six hours’ work per day, could af- ford to do so. The colonel did not coustder the work of the commiitee to be any woree then the work of the democrats in Obio and Daleware. In the former state they had raised $320 0000‘!;5 assessing saloon-keepers and $35, by assessing breweries and distilleries, and in the latter state every demo- oratio offizial, from roadmaster to the highest state officers, was assessed. —— T‘Aflm our old things look like new ufing’llu Diamond Dyes, and {ull will be happy.

Several years ago Mr. Harbeck divided = his property among his children, After they thrust him from his hoase he was givon shelter by a colored family living in the vicinity of his home, and who were once his scrvants, The colored peop'e, however, acon grew tired of supporting and taking charge of the old man, and last night they requested him to leave their humble nome, Mr. Harbeck tottered from the place and wandered helplessly about the streets. At about 11 o'clock he was found by two gentlemen, who led him to the city prison, where he was placed in care of the polica lieutenant. The Humane socisty will investigate the case. A TRIPLE WEDDING. Three Sisters Married to the Hus- bands of Their Cholce at the 8ame Time. Specisl to the Chicayn Tribane, Cixorsnati, November 16, —A dis- patch from Butler, Ky., which is situated onthe Kentucky Central rail- road, between this city and Lexing ton, says that a triple wedding oc- cugred there to-day, the three brides being sisters, The dispatch continues a8 follows: About a week ago 100 in- vitations were issued for the mar- ages, which was solemnized at the residence of the brides’ parents, about two miles from this place. The young ladies are all blondes, tall, handsome, and fair complexioned, ranging from 18 to 25 years of age, and are the only children of their parents. The parlors in which they were mar- ried were beautifully festooned with evergreene, with a large mar- riage-bell hanging over the center door, through which the couples en. tered. At 11 o'clock they advanced to the middle of those parlors and formed a circlo around the Rev. W. R. Van Hook, of the OChristian church, who, in the short and beauti- ful servics of that denomination, pro- nounced them men and wives, and Miss Hattie W. Phillipe became Mrs. John H. Thomas, and Mias Lucy B. Phillips becams Mrs. H. Alvin Bradferd, and Miss Cecilia Phillps be- came Mre. William N. Piercy, There were no attendants. The brides were all three dressed in traveling cos- tumes of black cassimerc, with gold ornaments, The groems were in the conventional black. Au elegant re- ception followed the marriages, and to-morrow morningthe happy couples leave on the 10 o’clock Kentucky Central train for a brief bridal trip. A number of distinguished ladies and gentlemen from a distance graced the ocoasion with their presence. Thurlow Weed's Birthaay New York Dispatch $o The Chicago Tribuae. Thurlow Weed awoke in a contem- plative mood Wedneaday. It was his eighty-fifth birthday, Dr. Chadbourne had decided that Mr. Weed should see no vieitors, but the family kept the day as has been customany, holding a grand reception, at which there many friends were made heartily wel- oome, There was a continuous stream of callers from early morning until after 11 o'clock at night. Everybody brought flawers and many added other beautiful gifts. Mr. Weed had every bouquet brought to him with the mes- sage of the slvar. Mr, Weed would pass his hands’ over the bouquet and send back some cheerful answer to the kind message of congratulation, When Charles O'Conor called he did not expect tosee Mr. Weed, but he sent for him to come to his bedside, ssying: “Tell O'Conor that 1AM BLIND and can't see him, but 1 want to take hold of his hand.” Mr. 0'Conor went to the bedside and shook hands with Mr. Weed, and said a few words of pleasant and cheerful congratula- tion, General James Watson Webb and Mrs. Webb were also permitted to see Mr. Weed and talk with him for a few moments. ~ Mrs, Jas, Bowen and Mrs. Henry 8.
