& B 2 THE POWER WITH THE PEOPLE They Alone Oan Proceed Against the Pinkertoh Palice. THE GOVERNOR CANNOT DO IT. A Boom Contribution From Central City—Cozad and Ogallala Pros- pering—Sudden Death of York County's Sheriff. Thayer's View of the Pinkertons. Livcors, Neb., May 20.—(Special Tele- gram to Tue Bee.]--Govornor Thayer, in conversation upon the editorial which ap- poared in Tie SuspAY Ber in reference to expelling the Pinkertons, said: “My view is just this—that if the Pinker- ton men are guilty of violation of law—if they are acting as officers without authority, the courts of Cass and Douglas counties must take cognizance of the matter. If they aré committing offenses, any citizen of Cass county or of Douglas county can go before a magistrate and make complaint, and it is his duty to do so. Then the Pinkerton men can be brought into court. That is the only course that can be pursued. I have no more authority to force them out of tho state than has any other citizen. There seoms to be a great deal of ignorance upon the part of some parties as to the power essed by the governor. I can_only act ‘when_the civil authorities are unable to pro- Yoot life and property. Then and then alone can 1 call the military force of the state into ion. “1 am not in favor of the Pinkerton men at all, but I ani not going to violate the law by forcing them out, a8 there has been no in- wasion of the state such as the constitution contemplates, Idonot know whether the Pinkertous are armed or not. I never saw them have anything but the ordinary polide- man’s club, which all policemen carry. Y want this distinctly understood, that it is for the counties where the Pinkertons ave been keptto take the proper steps to ring them to task. Should I take steps to force them out how long would it be before [ would be denounced as a usurper? I zm ready to execute the law whenever I am called upon to do it, but_no call has been made upon me as yet. I have been from the start opposed to the presence of the Pinkerton men, but no case has yet occurred in_which I could interfere. “I can not order the attorney general—I can only request him to take action in any case. But should I request him to pro- ceed in this matter, his answer would be that the prosecuting attorneys of Cass and Douglass counties should take the neces- ry action in the first place. It.is not for the attorney general to commence proceed- ings, but it is the province of local authori- ties, whorever the Pinkerton’s may violate the law. They are there for that purpose, and the Pinkertons would have to be treated fist the same as any other violators of law. they are acting as policemen contrary to Jaw the prosecuting attorneys should proceed against them.” ——— Central City Forging Ahead. CexTrAL CiTY, Neb., May 20.—[Special to Tae Bek. |—A lodge of Modern Woodmen of America has boen started with twenty-five members and is in a flourishing condition. The lodge is composed of the best class of our citizens and promises to take the front rank in Central City societips. The city dads at their last meeting granted . a franchise to J. R. Gordon to establish an eloctric light plant here, to be in operation in six months. The lights are to be the best incondescent and the city takes twenty-five lights. 'The cost of the plaut will be about $10,000. Mayor Patterson has gone to Chicago in the interest of the firm of Berryman, Patter- son & Co., of which he is a member. A callis made for an election to vote on ‘bonds to the amount of £20,000 for a system of waterworks, and there seems to be good prospects for their being carried. This will give Central City a good water supply, which she has needed for several years. The weather has been vcrfr rainy for se eral days, which has put back corn planting some, but to-day the sun shines, and will soon li"et the ground in good shape for working. he prospects are {ine for crops and the far- mers seem iuhllunh Our peug e will soon be called upon to vote $10,000 in bonds for a new bridge across the Platte directly southof the city. Nearly ev- eryone is in favor of the bridge, as it will bring a large trade from Hamilton county. The Metcalf Milling and Cracker company are doing & large cracker business, and are making as fine a line of crackers and cakes as mado anywhere. They have a capacity of 850 boxes per day, and make nearly one hun- dred different varieties, Their business is increasing very fast. Mr. C. W. Rhodes has purchased an inter- estin the firm of Berryman, Patterson & Co., wholesale hardware dealers, and as Mr. Rhodes is a man of considerable means and a ood business man, it places this firm on a footing for credit with the older and lurger firms.

CozAp, Neb., May 20.—[Special to Tme Bee.]—The thrivingtown of Cozad, with & population of nearly a thousand peo- ple, is situated on the main tine of the Union Pacific railway, 245 miles west of Omaha. Shbe is not having a temporary boow, but a continued, steady growth, and we predict that in a few years Cozad will be one of Ne- braska's substantial towns, There is no for. oign element in our population, The citizens are all from good families in Illinois, Indi. ana, Pennsylvania and New York. For push and enterprise Cozad merchants take the lead, See what they have accomplished dur- ing the four years the town has been in ex fstence. They have built a wagon bridge a mile in length across the Platte river at this point, the cost of which was $15,000, and last year built oneoneof the best roller flour mills in the state, which cost them §25,000. This year they talk of erecting a large brick hotel and opera house, There is a good opening here for a brick manufacturer, and l‘un now there is talk of some parties from Pairmont locating a {m'd here. Our town 18 well supplied with banks, newspapers, and businoss houses, but strange to say no leweler has yet located here—and, wo ven- ro o say, that the party who comes first will reap a good harvest, There is @ good farming country on the north of thirty-five miles, and on the south of eight miles, tribu tary to this place. The heavy fall of rain last weok was uuprecedented, and was just what the country wanted. Just now pros- pects are extremely bright for good crops ‘this season, aud everybody is happy.

An Alleged Outrage. Pratremoutit, Neb, May 10..-T0 the Editor of Ture Bex,—Knowing your fairness and partiality which is extended to the poor and unfortunate, I will avall myself of the opportunity and say that on Thursday night iast, while ou my way down one of La Platte's streets I was suddeuly taken i, and oticing a light in one 9f the row of frawe Dhouses on & street betweon Bellovue and Paplllion, I applied for & night's lodgiog which was refused me. Seceing at a distance an empty corn erib, I went to it and had hardly got in it before some so-called men came with & dog, each of the men carrying besides a gun a large eclub. Now, being crippled, I found it impossible to defend my- sclf and on my knees pxplained my posttion, This only seemed to add coals upon a burn: ing fire, and I had hardly finished when the inhuman wretches beat me in a most ter- rible manner, which will confine me 1o a hos- pital for at least a weeks. After having mearly knocked mo senseless thoy made me run, and after I had proceeded some twenty yards they began firing at me. Now knowin. that the public, if they were informed o this, might in some way assist me, as well ns bringing these men to gccsunt, I write this brief communication. Respectfully, CHARL LHARDT, ttsmouth, Neb. Sherift of York County Dead. Yonrg, Neb,, May 20,—[Special Telegram to Trr Bie.]—This community was shocked this morning to learn that James H. Hamil- ton, sheriff of York county, had suddenly died. He has suffered for some time with fistulous piles and was about to have an operation performed, Doctors Thidler and Davis were to perform the operation and ad- ministered a dose of chloroform., The drug caused paralysis of the heart and in ten min- utes the patient was dead. The deceased was serving his fourth term as sheriff of York county, and was one of the best known and most successful officers in the state. The city of York mourns to-night the untimely death of one of its best citizens, prlstioc-h e Halil in Western Nebraska.

New Wixpsor, Ill, May 20.—A very largely attended, spontaneous and non-politi- cal reception was tendered this evening to Hon. A.J. Streeter, presidential candidate of the union labor party, on his return from Cincinnati, Men of every political creed spoke, giving utterance to the most cordial congratulations and heartiest good will. An address was made by Dr. Emerson iu behalf of the citizens, to which Streeter responded: “This spontancous demonstration in honor of the event that one of your citizens has Dbeen nominated to the high office of presi- dent was wholly unexpected by me and I hardly know what to say. I thank you kindly, friends, for this distinguished and cordial ovation, This demonstratlon marks an epoch in your history; onme that I hope may 1on§ be remem- bered. I did not esire the nom- ination, but when it came to me from every section of the country I thought it was the voice of the industrial people. One of your number has been honored by a nomi- nation for the presidency. ‘Chis is a new departure. In the past presidential candi- dates have been chosen from two classes of our people—the lawyer and soldier—while the great industrial classes, comprising three- fourths of our people, have had no candidate. Is it any wonder that their interests have been neglected? I deem it unwise to discuss political issues, and as you have done, I, too, will throw down political questions.” Toasts were also responded to—‘‘Our Hon- ored Neighbor,” Rev. Shinn; “The Dignity of the Oftice of President of the Greatest Nation on Earth,” W. C. Cole; ‘‘The Patri- otism of National Honors,” Hon. H. A. Petrie: *“I'he Material We Make Presidents Of," W. H. Gladman ; followed by a specch by Rev. Cody, Mr. Streeter dismissed the meeting with words of hearty thanks for the Kkindly feeling shown and the crowd dis- persed with rousing cheers for the labor can- didate. ROl I DOT AND DASH AFFAIR.

Prepared by C. 1, Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass, 100 Doses One Dollar THE OMAHA DAILY - BEE: MONDAY JACK HEALY WAS THE HERO Ho Pitches a Great Game For Omaha and Wins. ST. LOUIS AGAIN DEFEATED. Thirty-five Hundred People on Rand to See the Victory—Kansas City Loses Once More to Des Moines. Omaha 6, St. Louis 3. Another great crowd—probably 8,500 peo- ple—went out to the ball ark yesterday af- ternoon to see their favorites add another scalp to their collection. Happy Jack Healy occupiod the box for Omaha and he was the hero of the day, The crowd gave him anovation,and he carried that Mephistophilitic grin of his clear through the game. His pitching was most praise- worthy, and the visitors were outplayed at every point, The struggle teemed with pret- ty pieces of fielding, and there was some good patting and darihg base running. All of this made the outcome delightfully uncer- tain. ‘When Umpire Brennan called play Flynn stepped to the plate, and was quickly pre- sented with first on balls. Then Conway awoke the slumbering echoes by a safe drive to left. But that ended the good work, as Annis, O'Connell and Burns were retired in order, St. Louis also drew a blank, as did both sides in the second. For tho visitors Staley struck out the side. But the young man was horribly wild, and before the game endoed managed to send eight men to base on bad balls, In the meantime, however, he partially offset this by fanning out no less than twelve. In the third Gastfield, who caught a pretty game, went to first on balls. Hestole second and ran_down to third on a wild throw by Dolan. Mr. Flynn now came forward, and without much preliminary monkeying he smashed the ball against the right fleld fenco and on the rebound scampered 'round to third, Gastfield scoring. How the populace did shout. On Cooney’s hit to She, Flynn was thrown out at the plate. “Too bad,” they all said, **he ought to have staid where he was,”” And that was true, Annis vainly agitated the ltmos{;hcm, but O'Connelll was given first on balls. Burns’ out, however, retired tho side, Another Easter egg for St. Louis. " Bot“z teams accomplished nothing in the ourth. In the fifth the Omahas increased their lead by two. Gastfield went out from pitch to first, but Flynn got_ his base on balls and, naturally enough, stole second. And then Cooney just walked up to the plate-like a grmz big man and hauled off and banged the all clean out to center field fouce fora home run. 2 Cneers! The ground shook with them, and the boys made Captain Crooks sad with their cries of *“Ah, there, Harry; that’s the way ! Another cipher for the Mouna City. The next man to come forward was our French friend from Cork, Jimmy Burns. He braced himself, winked at Columbus, and the first ball pitched sent it sibilating out into the center garden for two sacks. en there was a cry of jubilation, and as he rushed to third on o half passed ball and then home on awild throw by Daady Dolan, 3,000 people laughed and cheered to their hearts’ content. Every face was bright as a_ dollar. And when the tumult had subsided somebody started afresh the cry: “That's the way, Harry. But Harry isn’t easily rattled and he.had a quiet laugh all to himself when Shaunon struck out. In their half St. Louis scared the crowd badly, for they made two runs and threat- ened to tie the score. Staley reached first on an error of Miller, then Nicholson made a two bagger, Staley going to third. Right here Cooney made a bad throw: of Crooks’ grounder, on which Staley aud Nicholsod, on the return of the ball by O'Conuell, scored, and Crooks perched triumphantly-on sccond. Burch went out, but Herr got his base on balls, aud the crowd held their breath until Happy Jack made Kenyon fan the air three times, when, of course, the crowd cheered. In the seventh both sides added a score’ to their total, and in the eighth our Gallic friend, Burns, knocked out.a lovely homo run, That was the last of the game, as both sides were quickly retired in the ninth. With a hip, hip, and a whooper, the crowd arose, shook itself, said ‘‘how’s that,” and went sweltering home, Here's the score: OMATIA, AB. R. 1B, 8B. PO. A. E.

Thoy also fielded well and ran the bases with a dash that greatly pleased the 2,500 people présent, In marked contrast to the home team’s work with the stick was that of the Maroons, Klopp had the Chicago batsmen completely at his mercy, and but two hits, both in the first inning, were all they could secure off bis delivery. Bosides their inability to bit the ball, the Chicago boys ~puv up @ rather rocky flelding game, which accounts for half of Minneapolis' runs.

The Favorites in the Race—An Horole Missionary From the Dark Conti- nent—KEchoes of the Debate ~Methodist Union. Progress of the Conference. New Yoprg, May 10.—[Special to Tuw Bre.]—Having Thursday, in a formal but deeply impressive memorial service, dropped ta tears over the doad bishops, the confer- ence will be roady shortly to drop its ballots for the election of the new on The three who have gone were each distinguished for some special trait. Simpson was the peer- less preacher. Wiley was the great mis- sionary, and most appropriately, therefore, has his burial place in China; while Harris was the great disciplinarian of the board. By a strange coincidence each of these had a prominent part in the closing services of the conference four years ago. Bishop Simpson made the closing address, Bishop Wiley of- fored the concluding prayer, and Bishop Harris read the final hymn. Thus, the part they took, viewed in re- trospect, secms to have been premonitory of the fate which awaited them. Whether these circumstances will make the remain- ing bishops timid as to the part which may be assigned them in the closing of the pres- ent conference, remains to be seen. It is certain, however, that neither this or any- thing else has had the effect ot lessening the number of candidates for episcopal office; nor is it anticipated, for a moment, that any circum stances past or to come, will lead any of the present or prospective bishops to re- sign. There are rumors that one will ask to be relieved of episcopal dignities to allow of his taking the presidency of an eastern uni- versity, and it has been alleged that in case of the clection of a certain can- didate for the office, still another of the present incumbents would want to step down and out. But all such rumors must be discounted heavily; for whatever their excellencies otherwise, Methodist bishops have certainly not been mnoted for the virtue of resignation. And who can blame them, when it is a fact, as Dr. Blake- ley said on Monday, that *‘the power held by a Methodist bishop is the greatest held by any oficer in the protestant church.” Still, there have been two instances in which this dignity has been declined, and by a fortunate circumstance theso cases are divided between the two sections. one being the case of Dr. Haygood, of the church south, and the other that of Wilbur Fisk, of this church. In ecclesiastical affairs no less than in mat- ters culinary, the proof of the pudding must be in the eating, Hence to judge correctly of the quality of the new bishops we must wait until we know who they are. The con- viction has been entertained by mavy that this conference would put into office those only whose cheracters and accomplishments would réflect credit upon the denomination, and that it would be an improvement upon former conferences in keeping itself tree from objectionable forms of lectioneering. If, however, some of its own members are to be credited, 1t is but another of the same kind with several of its predecessors, At any rate we have been treated to similar ex- posures to those which have distinguished former conferences, The storm of acousation which had been gathdring for many days, broke upon the body on Monday last. Mr, Hunter of Iilinois winted one bishop elected ut a time. ‘Lhis, he said, would break up combinations. Every candidate, in that case, he said, would have to do business on his own capital, and, for his part, if any candidate proposed to set up a peanut stand, he didn’t want him elected. He was prepared, he said, to_sit down upon all combinations, ana he ‘‘didn’t_care a peg whether the bishops came from New York, Boston, St. Louis or_Peoria, so that the best man got it”? Dr. Buckley, agreeing sub- stantially with the former speaker, thought the election of a bishop so important that the vote ought to be taken by orders. Here was another proposed 8cotch upon the wheel of struggling ambition, for when ayvote is taken by orders it not only requires i majority of all to elect, but a majority of both the minis- terial delegates and the lay delegates. Dr. Olin of New York, who is chairman of the committee on_episcopacy, said “he had been pained and shamed with the whispers that had stolen into his ears respecting combina- tions for the office of bishop.” Dr. Due of llinois, claimed that he had not heard such whispers. “But think,” he said, *‘of the Apostle Paul going down this aisle and mov- ing about the corridors of this opera house, asking the men of the conference to vote for him because he had a call from the Lord to be bishop.” Lay Delegate Brown favored Dr. Buck loy's motion to vote for bishops by orders, This gentleman took a business-like view ot the situation, holding that if & man had a genuine call from the Lord the Lord could pull him through just as surely if the confer- ence voted by orders as if it voted as a whole, Dr, Leonard, of Ohio, was another who was 80 fortunate as to not have heard these flying whispers about combinations, He would scorn, he said, to receive a proposition to cast his voto for any candidate. Ho had not heard whispers of that kind, he ob- sorved, but he had heard it @ alleged that millionaires had _been electing the bishops of the church, and it was plain to see, he said, that vot- ing by orders would give these millionaires gven more power than they nlmndlv had, Iinally the conference concluded that it nad heard enough of this kind of talk, and the matter was disposed of by a refusal to adopt cither the motion to elect one bishop at a time, or the motion to elect by orders, leav- mg the situation just as it was before the big palaver began, precisely the result which followed from a similar tempost of words aud a similar series of motions, in the two conferences immediately preceding this, The Methodist wortnies never fail to have it out in this manner just before the real bat- tle of the ballots. It is a way they bave, just as the final decision in the ring proper always preceded by a hot contest of big talk when a lot of healthy school boys get into a wrangle, It is safe to assume, too, that these Methodist brethren do not meéan all they say at such times, any more than the boys do, and that, like the boys again, they are not half 8o bad as, in these tussles, thoy try to make one another seem, As to electioneer- ingand the canvassingof the strong and woak points of the various candidates, it is dfficult to sce how such work as this could be dispensed with altegether, considering that the delegates come from such widely scattered sections, and that no opportunity is given to to men for these high oftices in open And_os to the moral question if the Lord accepts the help of presiding elders, and church committecs, added to the godly judgment of the bishops in stationing the preachers, what can be the harm in & few expericnced hands lending Hiw a littlo assistance in this more delicate and important work of promoting men to the episcopacy. The favorites in the episcopal race remain about as given before, viz: Drs, D. A. Goodselt, Earl Crauston, James M. King, H. A. Buttz C. McCabe, L. W. Joyce, C. H. Payne, C. Sims, J. N, Fitzgerald, 5. F. Upham. J. Hauwilton, D. Dorchéster and J. R. Da. with, however, any number of dark horscs waiting the eall. Excepting that Dr. C. J. Little of suse university. way be pushed by his enthiusiastic friénds into a place now gilled by some one else, it scewms likely that the ediforships of the church will be filled about as ghoy are now. For the other posi tions the candidates sre too numerous to mention, Not ouly is the episcopal office in demand, but there is & great clamor from various quarters for episcopal residences. Awmong the cities who have applied thus early for the distinguished honor of bavibg alive methodist bishop in their midst are Cleveland, Detroit, Portlaud, Ore., and Charleston, 5. C. Detroit baits its request with the promi- ise that the bishop sent there shall have & good house presented to him. Texas also wants @ bishop, audoffersa larger induce: ment than any other applicant, in the fact that she gives the one who may bo sent the privilege of taking up his abode any where he pleases in the entire state. Thus we are reminded again that, as the scripture says, todesire the office of a bishop is to dosire a good thing and a big thing, and yet a bishop's lot is not alto- gether a happy one, not, at least, during gen- cral conference, for they do get talked to these days most outragoously, Ono resolu- tion, read boforc the conference and referrod to & committee, doclares their recent action in “arrogating” the power to leave the names of tho women delegates from the conference roll,to be'‘unprecedented in history,alarmin in its nature and revolutionary in its ef- fects.” There ara those, too, who openly charge that parts of the opiscopal address wore a subtle argument intended to influence ation, and that thus, though logally de- red from speaking in the debatos, they ROt in a specgh by unfair meant. Some of tho brethren, o, are so little mindful of episcopal prorogatives that they will not von_cousent, without protest, to have a bishop enjoy & good cigar if he wants to. Actually, a reselution has been introduced on this sibjoct—in fact several have. It is supposed, too, that these resolutions cut both ways, having reference notonly to some who are in the office, but to some of the outs who want to got in, but whom somé of their moro punctillious brethren think should not bo al- owed to do 8o until, as the resolution ex- prossos it, ‘‘thoy swear to forever abstain rom the use of tobacco.” Tee only occasion since the woman ques- tion was settled when there has been a_full hoese was when Bishop Taylor roported his work in Africa. In appearance this man is tall and gaunt, with long patriarchal beard, deep set and lustrous eyes and the air of & man who believes implicitly both in God and in himself. By multitudes he is regarded as one of the greatest heroos of modern times. His pet idea is the christianizing of heathen- dom on the self-supporting plan. On_this plan he established a great mission_in India and another in South America. Owing to the prestige of these achicvements the last ~ conference elected him by an almost unanimous vote, & missionary bishop to Africa, and in the vory heart of the dark continent and he has planted missions on the sumo pian. Ho has isdained to use missionary moncy, excopting as he could uso it without dictation from headquarters, and has refused to draw his salary from the missionary troasury, though £3,000fa_yoar havo been offered him. His contention is that he is as much a bishop as the rest of his fellows and that he ought to et his pay from the same fund. Ho also objects to having his _self-supporting missionary work controlled by the regular missionary board, his reason for this being, a8 ho characteristically expressed it in his roport, that “their meth- ods and his would no more barmonize than a coal yard and a millinery store would work inhaomony.” What the conference will do with this heroic genius remains to be seen. Probably, however, they will send him back to Africa'with incréased authority, though a dosperate effort will bo made by somo to have his term of Episcopal service brought to a speedy and inglorious termination. Echoes from the great debatcon the ad- mission of women arestill heard occasionally. 1t Is said that a great genious once obscrved 1o his wife, “Woman, with all thy faults I Tove thee still:" but the trouble is here, as it ‘was there, that woman won’t be stillr nor will the knights errant who have entered the lists as her champlons. It is now alleged that the contest on this question was a sccrot flght for third party prohibition, fu which, by the defeat of Miss: Willard and _her fellow delegates, of W. C. T. U. fame, that cause came to grief. It s also aileged, on thic other side, that personal spite and official jéalousy had' much to do in keeping the women out, some who worked against them doing so in scttlement of old scores cherished against the fair applicants, and others laboring to keep them_out for fear that if they got in they would run off with some of the oftices as for instance, 8o these pecple aver, the editorship of the New York Christian Advocate. Really, however, such allegations and rumors aré unworthy of credence, and what_is more, they are discreditable to the side which organizes them, The status of the ques- thon now is, that to make woman’s admission Iegal, the annual conference are to pass upon it. But there is a proposition now pending, and likely 10 be adopted, which will give the entirc_church_an opportunity to be heard on the subject. The plan is to allow every mem- ber, male or female, who is_over twenty-one years of age, to voto upon this new departure, just as was done when it was proposed to admit laymen to this body. The question of Methodist union is com- manding attention. Great strides have been made in this direction in recent years. The methodist bodies of the world, after & long period of separation, marked by various de- grees of hostility, first looked into ono another’s faces and folt tho throb of a com- mon methodistic heart beat, in 1851, at the great ecumenical conference held in London, Shortly after that gathering a union of all the methodist churches of Canada was an- nounced. Then in 1834 camo the centennial Methodist conference in Baltimore, affor the American brethren another favorable opportumty of shaking hands and exchanging grecting.s Sinco then there has been a strong _movement toward organic union in Sroat Britain; in fact the Irish Methodists have effected such a upion. And now come two or three propositions. before the present couference for a union of the Methodist Episcopal church with the body which went oft on the slavery question forty- four years ago when the general confor- ence last held in this city, a body which now has fully half s many members of this church, These resolutions, which wero ro- ferred to the committee on ' the state of the church, call for the appointment of a commit- tee of thirteen, consisting of five laymen and five ministers, with three bishops, to confer and act on this great question with a_ similar committee which it is hoped the Church South wall appomnt. What the immediate outcome will be is not. yet apparent. It is settled, however, that a ocumenical conference will bo had threo years hence, and that it will convene on this Bide of the Atlantic. It goes without saying, 100, that such a gathering will help along this holy cause of Methodistic union, And means while Mothodists both north and sputh will rejoico to know that this cause is being sensibly advanced by the wise and genial ministrations in private and pubiic of Rov. 8.

Delogates to the number of 571 are present from all parts of the country. Dr. H. M. Starkloff, of St. Louis, the prosident, called the assembly to order and made the opening nddross, He said that a number of important and delicate quostions would be Brought bo- fore the body for its consideration and that only the greatest calmness and deliberation should be invoked in dealing with them, Re- forring to charges made, he said that the turnbund has nothing in common with the doctrines of anarchism that declares war on the state in any form or with the doctrines of revolution by violence at all hazards even in a republic. The events of the last few yoars had- intruded themselyes within tho precincts of this organization and he trusted they would be disposed of in a businesslike, just and harmonious manner. The tonor of the entire speech was far from being anarchistic or even sociallstio in its tendencies.

Six Thousand Persons Attend the Phoonix Park Mecting. Duntiy, May 20.—Six thousand - persons assombled in Phanix park to-day to take action on the resolutions adopted by the Irish Catholic members of parliament with reference to the recent papal rescript, There were no priests present. Lord Mayor Sexton presided, and Messrs, John Dillon, William O'Brienand other Parnellites made spooches, The manifesto of the Irish members w: ondorsed by acclamation. Dillon denied that the rescript was only a moral doctrine. He said the vatican would treat no other country in the same way. The Irish would neither submit or bow to Rome; they would show the world that they were able to dis- cern between its spiritual and political do- mains. O’Brien said the present ordoal was ‘worse than twenty years of Balfourian coer- cion.
