- THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 18, 1886 A BIG DEMOCRATIC BANQUET, The Fourth Annual Gathering of the Iro- quois Olub at Chicago Last Evening. CARLISLE THE LEADING SPEAKER Mo Delivers a Free Trade Address to the Assemblage—President Cleve- land Sends Regrets—Distine gulshed Bourbons Carlisle Interviewed, CricAGo, Nov. 17.—|Special Tele, the Bk, |—Jolin G, Carlisle, accompanied by his wife, arrived this morning. ‘The distin- guished Kentuckian came here as the leading speaker at the Iroquois banquet to-nignt “Wiile it is true that at first I was inclined to rogard the resnlt of the recent clections as unfaycrable to the causo of revenuc reform,” sald Carlisle to a reporter, “I can say now tor the first time that after looking over the field and considering the advices which I have re- ecived from different parts of the country, I am convinced that the cause has gained strength, both in the house and 1n the coun- try gencraily, since the last election. Of the 184 democrats in the present house, voted against the Morrison bill. In the new house the democcats will number 172 or 17, and the supporters of revenue reforn will be just as strong as they are at the present time. Tho loss, therefore, falls on the democrats who are opposed to reform rather than on those favoring it. And the re<ult is, therefore, a distinct vietory for the reform element. Cer- tain papers have pointed with glee to the fall that certain supporters of reveuue ro- form in the present house failed of renomina- tion, but they studiously owit toadd that their successorsare with us on that issue and that the go was simply that of men and not of principles, There is another point upon which I have not previously spoken. Protectionist papers throuzhout the country are loudly claiming that the new labor vote which has been developed in certain parts of the country is another crushing blow at Mor- rison's views, or, as I preter to call it, at revenue reform. Nothing can be further from the facts as they exist. In very few of the clections aid this issue enter atall, and Af the working men of one Lof the country voted indirrectly against our prineiples, they did just the opposite at the other end. For instance, in New York Henry Geor an avowed free rader, gets over 60,000 working men's votus, while here in Chicago, in one of the strongest protectionist distriets in Illinois, Congressman Lawler, who was a thick and thin opponent of Morrison’s bill, gets through werely by the skin of his ' teeth. etting theso fact nst the dofeat of Mor- rison, lurd and other reformers, it will be seen that if the protectionists aro going to use the labor vote as an argument. [hey ad- mit that the account 18 about equally” bal- anced, even it it is not to our advantage, and they 1wust also admit that where the labor vote has been most fuily developed —the pre- onderance, as in New York and Chicago, or of our viows. — ‘These are the facts, and stubborn ones, and tend to jus- tify my opinion that the result of the recent eléctions has not only been favorable to the cause of revenue reform but that the cause is stronger in and out of the house than THE BANQUET. ‘The fourth annual banqguet of the Iroquois club occurred te-night at the Palmer hou Among the large number of distinguished democrats to whom invitations had been sent the following are among the most widely * known who accented and were present: Hon, John € sarlisle, Hon.

All taxation, Carlisle declared, no matter how it may pe disguised or in what manner its payment may be enforced, is ultimately a_charge upon labor, e em: hatically stated that substantial equality in he adjustment of the rates of taxation and uniformity n_the desizuation of articles upon which it shall be imposed are not only attainable but essential under the present system of taxing for protective purposes, A few have become very vich, but many have become poor and the gulf between Tuxury and penury is growin: wider and deeper duy by day. But with the power of taxation exercised only for the purpose of 1alsing revenues for the support of the gov- ernmentprinciples of substantial equalityand uniformity can be reco.nized and enforeed Carlisle coneluded wn the following words: o matter who may desert or who way falter, the creat fight for retorm will go on.

Wa cannot lock up $101,000,000 in the treasury without bankrupting the peo- ple by depriving them of their cireulating medium, God knows, our appropriations are extravagant enough now, and surely we otght not to buy bonds not due at any pre- mium the holders of them may see fit to demand, therefore, nothing remains that 1 can 'see except to_ reduce taxes for the point needed for the wants of the government.

J."Sparks, commissioner of eral land oflice, in speaking upon **The Pub- lic Lands the People’s Heritage for Homes,” gave his views upon the proper policy fo be pursued by the ‘overnment in recard to each class of public lands. He re- ferred first to the lands that lind been granted to railroads. Ile held that while the obliga- tlons of the wovernment so far as incurred must be carried out, the effects ot this doubt- ful and mistaken land grant legislation must not be so magnlfied that while requiring of the government a strict compliance with its part of the contract, the corporations should he allowed unlimited license to violate theirs, It was true that it takes two parties to make a bargain, and it was equally true that the failure of one party to the contract is a re- lease of the obligations of the other. He was prepared to say that in grants amounting to 10,000,000 aicres there has been no sueh com- pliance with the law by the companies as inds the governments toany legal obliga- tion in_respect to granted lands. By the Northern Pacific railroad alone nearly 40,000,000 acres of the people's heritage fo homes was being unjustly withheld. ~An act should be passed declaring forfeitures of ! grants, if only to the extent of portions of unconstructed roads at the time fixed by law for their entire completion. Such an act, while a measure of partial justice only, would yet be of incaleulablo benelit, by restorini to the people for settlement and free howmes not Jess than 70,000,000 acres, and would leave to the companies at their average price of lands more than enough to meet tho legitimate cost of the entire coustruction of their roads.

CuicAGo, Nov. 17.—The regular meeting of District Assembly No. 24, Knights of Labor, was held to-night. A resolution was adopted denouncing the recent trial of the condemned anarchists as having been con- ducted untairly, and sympathizing with them In their efforts to obtain a new ftrial.

Gorman went to Califor- nia and returned just before the election. He paid his first visit to the white nouse yester- day.

MANNING'S DAYS NUMBERED, “Secretary Manning impresses me as one who is not long for this world,” said an In- diana office secker to-day, atter a half-hour's chat with the head of the treasury depart- ment. *“They talk about Mr. Manning being 1 the best health he has been in for years. Well, L pity him if he has ever been so feeble asnow. e is unsteady, puffed and colored about the eyes, and has an instability in his train of conversation whicn leads w man to thiok he is rapidly failing. fcan tell, too, that he does not take much interest in his work., Very soon after the inauguration I came here and hak a long talk with Mr. Man- ning. Then he was thoroughly enthusiastic about treasury mat'~rs and I could see ho had his soul in the duties before him. Now he goes about It as though he was foreing his mind and his hands to work. He doesn’t like the ‘uwilmn and 18 disappointed in it. Yes, he wmay hold the oftice till the next eloction, so as to keep up continuity of the eabinet, but I do not believe it. 1donot believe he will be alive then, unless he gets relief from his burdens.

Demoeratic members of coneress here are discussing the recentelections and the causes which led to a reduction ot the democratic majority in the house. Representative Mat- son, of Indiana, thinks that it was not hos- tility to the administration which eut down the party vote in his district. In fact, he says the administration and its policy did not enter as an active question in the con- test. He can trace much of the discontent that prevailed in the party to federal patron- age, but the trouble in this respect was con- tined to localities, and the animus was against him, not the president. Representa- tive Wilkins, of Olio, confirms Matson’s view of the subject. He finds that appoint- ments to some small government position, such as a country postoflice, created P r intments and excited opposition in the focality to him as the person responsible for the appointment, POSTOFFI ftar this ed that d of in any CHANGES, Thos.

There are a great many things which may be accomplished in this world, and there are also a great many things which nnot,” said a semi-philosopher yester day, who had walked some three miles through the snow drifts into town, “One of the impossible things is always to suc- cessfully fight the elements. One of the things which are not lmpossible, is to make an attempt to fight, and such a fight has frequently been rewarded with suceess. 1do not consider that such an attempt hus been made by the city rail- y compuny in the matier of ving d clear and its cars running the present storm.

The Wall Street tly Gets Rich by the Purest Accident. New York Sun: A well-known broker of Wall street was chatting a few days ago with some friends, and somewhat surprised them by asserting that luck has had more to do with the making of sud- den and immen fortunes in_thoe street thun is commoniy supposed. He referred for onc exnmple to his own experience, and said that twice ne had found himself a hundred thousand dollars or more better off at night than bhe was in the morning, and nhad at once realized, although when he wentdown to the strect that day he had no idea of making such a comfortablo sum. Three times by sheer accident, for which he was not to blame, ' he had lost a pretty little fortune, and he belicved that his own experience could be matched by very many of the speculators of the streoet. Of ‘course, he excepted those great oper- ators who, from their control of immense amounts of cash, from their ownership controlling interasts in large proper- and their ability to manipulate the market, were placed beyond the power of lueKy or unlucky aceident to affect greatly their wealth ‘Perhaps the most remarkable ecase me under my obscrvation,” went on to s: “was that of one of the most conservative men now on the street. He is now simply a broker, and since Black Friday hever specu’ lated one dollar’s worth, Youremember that three or four men brought on tha panic now known as Isluck Friday by cor- nd running the price up till 1y operators were riined, the strect was in a wild panic_and univer § med imninent. These men rel t they believed to be good assu that the government would put no gold on the market thatday, and they hud locked up pretty much all the rest of the 2old in the country that was available. Right in the midst of the panie, when the street was like a_mad house and many men who in the merning supposed theni- selves rich were almost stark staring mad ov the vuin which had befallen them in a few hours, and when almost the highest tigures had been touched and nobody was sellng short, this broker to whom I refer suedenly lost his head. Heo had covered early in the morning at a comparatively saall loss, and had been looking in'during the duy without any persoual anxiéty, except that caused by the fear of & %.A:m that would knock thie bottom out of everything, Suddenly, he never knew why, nor has he any but the most vague feqollection of the trans: antion, he rashed ihto the bawling, howl ing pit and sold right and left at their Inghest figures. =He probably might ha avoided his contracts or his friends invalidated them for him, for he was uan- doubtedly insane when he did this. Atall hie was still selling, when suddenly came that lttle message from ary Boutwell that knocked the bottom out of the corner in the twinkling of an eye, ‘sell five millions of gold.” an hour more my frient would have been a lunatie puup: nd as it his broth I think, or some near veiative, found hiin utterly 'irresponsible, and with a good deal of difficulty led wim away to his office. There, when he was told of the order of Boutwell's, and that the bottom had dropped out of the panie, he did not seem to comprehend the truth at all, but mumbled somethi which nobody understood. His c tracts, however, were found, and t care of by his clerks, and » rapid estimate showed that he stood to the good not far Wages of from a quarter of a miltion. . When the told him he did 1ot scem to comprehenc He had.not been drinking, for he was a tectotallor, Suddenly they missed him They could not find him in the street, nor in the gold room, nor at any of the other broker's oftices he was acoustomed to visit. Nobody had seen him. He had not gone to his home, and his family at midnight becoming thoroughly alarmed, notified th police that he was missing and tem pora vily deranged, He was found wandering up Broadway long past midnight, mut toring his calls and answering no one, Nor did he know anyone for nearly two weeks. He was on the verge of paraly- @s of the_brain and barely pulled through. When, after two weeks' 1l ness, lie woke ono morning rational, his first thought was that he wason 'Chango. He remembered nothing of his epera tions, but recalled vety vividly so much of the panic a8 he had witnessed before he bogan to operate bimself. It was a Jong time before his physician permitted him (o be told tiat he had by his ¢ freak mado a fortune. He has kept it too, for from that day to this, as 1 said, he has never bought a stock except for investment. “There was another case that I'm always reminded of when I see a young man in the street whno is a very bright chap and will be he: from somo d. His father was the president of vings bank somewhere down east, and some- where 1n 1870 took a lot of Southern Min- nesota seconds at 00, He intended to buy them for the bank, but thinking he had a good thing, kept them himself The panie of 78 knocked Southern Min- nesotas down to nothing, and the pres dent threw the vonds into a box m the library at nis house.
