et AGAIN THE POPULAR 1DOL, @ladstone Gaining in Favor With the English People. THE HOME RULE ALARM OVER. Visits of Political Licutenants to Ha- warden Kegarded as Significant of Coming Events—The Social Problem, English Pobtics, (Copuright 1889 by Jamss Gordon Bennett,) Loxvoy, Oct, 19.—|New York Herald Cable—~Special to Tne Br What is going to happen intho world of politics! Something new, it is clear, but a veil iso! 1t as thick as that which envelopos tho vener- able prophot of Hawarden. It 1s evident that the people have had onough of the prosont deadlock. They are weary of seeing the samo side of the Irish question evor- lastingly presented to them, honce there is a movement all through tho country. Tho Glaastoneans, being in the opposition, are naturally quicker to detect it than tho goy- ernment pifrty. Tho leaders are being sum- moned to Hawarden one aftor anotner, Glad- 8tono has been asked what means all this hurrying to and fro! His answer is to tho offect that it has absolutely no signific The great man's lieutenants have only ¢ tho castle to usk whether ho has slept well lately, They have probably been informed that he has slept in his nsual manner—tuat is ever with one eyo open. The stie in the country, the uneasy twitchings observable in the grand demoustiations, have not es- caped his notice. He means to ve some: thing to say to thut same grant when the right moment comes. Some time ago Glad- stono told us of a conservative lady of his acquamtanco who humorously reproached him for not stepping down. “You are al- was popping up again,” she exclaimed. This lady must perceive that ho s at his old tricks once more. Ho is truly Eoglish, according to Iapoleon’s standard, in never know- ing that he is beaten. In fact, who is to know when a man 18 really beaten in the political arenal Who was beaten 80 often and so hopelessly us Disraeli, yet ho lived through 1t and became prime minister of England, and had he lived alittlo longer he wouid have been prime minister aguin, ‘The past is soon forgotten by tho public, and the English public is particularly gener- ous in that respect. It remembers every- thing that telis in favor of its old servants and passes a sponge over the rest. Thore- fore, no ono need bo surprised to find that Gladstono is being restored to vopular favor. The people are getting over their alurm about home rule. They think thav the old man has had a warning, and that he will bo niore cautious the next time he tackles the subject, and that he will contrive to do justice to Ireland without endangering the cmpire. That is the impression which is spreading in the country. It partly accounts for the couservative voices in the recent election There 18 another force at work tvhich lead- Ing journuls do not sccm to be aware of, but which is destined to gproduce tremendous results, I rofer to the social upheaval, which is daily acquiring greater momentum among the great body of peo- ple. Wo have cducated our masters, as Robert Mowe ironicully advised us to do, with usual result that their eyes have been ovened. They seo moro clearly than ever the immense disparity between the lot of the rich avd tho poor and thoy chafo under the conditions which hew thom in. That thou- sards of hard workiug men should toil for a bare subistence; that thousands of womwen should be driven to the streets because the sweate takes the profits of their labor when they try honest tndustry that the fruits of their toil should somchow or other appear to be passing more and more into the hands of syndicates and greatcompanies, who crush out small capi- talists—all this and much more of the same kind is awakening a spirit which the world will hear a great deal mora of before it is much older. The issue which will shale England one of theso days is not the Irish question or tho disestablisiment question, but the long-threatened struggle between socialistic principles aud the defenders of the existing system. It i3 coming nearer, though many eyes rofused to sce it. I think, looking on it at its early and preparatory stuges now, that the great body of the people appear to feel that when the critical time arrives they aro moro likely to got holp from the liberal or radical party than from the conservatives ‘Chis belief will bhave wmore or less effect on all future elecuion contests, especially in the general election, B Avother change which is passing over political parties is the statement that the liberals are making their way back to the regular fold, I do not sco how this can be doubted by those who staay tho field attentiveiy, yet the consery- auve leaders do not seem to be awaro of it, Iv will make a vast difference to them if the tendency £ocs on how many of the consery- ative majority in the house of commons owa their seats to liberals voting for unionists or absenting themselves from the polls, I should sy that one-half the liberal party will get reunited and we sball sco some great changes all around. Now is the time for the conservative to take these facts into comsideration, They: = not pleasant to look at, and some will say that it is not poiitic even to mention them, but keeping silcnce about them will uot prevent them marching on. They must be reckoned with pertaps. Before they come up for settloment some of the present political loaders will bo gone from tho scene. No matter. Ideas do not die with wen, Woat every man in pub- lic life will bave to decide for himself is what course he mtouds to take on the social problems. What docs he intend to do on the labor anestion, the hovsing of the voor ques- tion, the lana question and similar questions? Far be it from me to suggest what any man should do. I merely poiut out that there ave great and vital issuos which underly English politics at the present time, and that home rule is only iwportant because time and the manuer of its settlement may wmaterially affect tho method in which the greacer issuos beniud it are dealt with, A Miemser or PARLIAMENT, —— The Cougn Sta: Brussris, Oct, 10.--Mai) advices from the Cengo atate contain the report made by the governor generai o the effect that eighty ohiefs have racognized the autvority of the Congo steto and have promised to furnish mien to assist o maintainicg order aud in suppressing buman sacrifices, -~ Coneressman Whithorne Dying.

The committeo issued the following: ‘‘As republicans of Mississippi, we are compelled to withdraw our stato ticket. We koow our votes would be stolen and our voters driven from the polis. But we hoped thatin the larger towns and cities the semblance of free speech might still remain to us, but our candidates are not safe to discuss or protest.

Our laws stand sub- stantially unchanged and unrepealed, but we are republicans and this is our offense. For fourteen years, cver since the infamous Mississippi plan was adopted, our path has been marked by the blood of our sluin—not only the well known leaders who bravely died, but the faithful followers known only in the cabins of the lowly. We refer mot only to such well known slaughters as thoso of Kom- per and Copiah, Clnton and Carrollton, W. E.

If so, announce the policy and acquit us of further effore.” —_———— DIED OF HEARD DISEASE. of the John Creerar, Vi sident Chicngo & Alton.

The big stcamer lay tantalizingly near, and a boatman volun- teered to row the couple out to the vessel. He was engaged and the young woman at- tewpted to get into the boat, but in her hurry and excitement tumbled out of it as soon as she struck it. The young man promptly jumped into the water after her, and they were fished out by the men on the pier. An attempt was mado to learn their names, The young man said he was the young lady’s brother, but when asked for her namo and residence, said: “*You don’t supnose that we want our names 1 the papers, do you.” The young woman did not anything, bntgazed reflectively at the wreck of what a few minutes before had been a charming costume, and then drove off in a carriage.

Raum, of Iilinois, Appointed. A SURPRISE TO THE POLITICIANS, Judge Groff Renders Another Im- portant Decision—A Polyglot Sten- ographer Wanted For the Maritime Conference, WasniNgToN Bummau Tie Ovana Bes, l 513 FOURTEENTH STREET, Wasuiyatoy, D. ., Oct. 17, ) President Harrison made to-day what promises to bo kis most popular appoint- ment, It was that of General Green B Raum, of Illinois, to succeed Corporal Tan- ner as commissioner of pensions. The selec tion was officially announced at 10 o'clock this morning, and up to late to-night not a single syllablo Las been uttered agaiost it by any ono. Genoral Raum combines all the attributes to make a most excellent and satisfactory commissioner. He was a splendid soldier of the General John A, Logan class, He is a popular, though not a boasting G. A. R. man, He is a splendid lawyer, familiar not only with the laws but the rules and prac- tices of . the ponsion ofce, Ho for several years occupied the office of commissioner of internal rovenue and displayed rare executive ability. General Raum goes into the ofice better equipped in every way taan any of his pre- decessors, He has no hobbies, no preju- dicea. Heo was not wounded, it is true, but it may be that he is the better fitted for that. His organization of the internal revenue, a h of the treasury department, was per- t, and it was only necessavy for Prasident Harrison to be reminded of his adminietra- tion of that oftice and the fact that he would ccept the commissionership of pensions to nduce action, The first mention of General Raum’s vame for the commissionership of pensions was probably by Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, It was almost three weeks ago that in passing Tue Bee bureau he stopped and said: “If I were President Harrison I would send for Ceneral Green B. Raum, of Illi- nols, and induge nim if _possible to tako hold of the pension oftice. He I the best man for it in the country. Tt has justoccurred to we, and I am going straight to the white house and make the suggestion.” This he dia. Senator Mitelrell is naturally elated to-night. IEx-Commissioner Tanger said to your correspondent as soon as be heard of the ap- pointment: *It isthe best. selection that could have been made. General Raum was a callant soldier, is a good man, a fine law- ver, with liveral views on the subject of pen- sions, and I am satisfied he will do all he can for the pensioners.” seneral Bradley, Colonel Axell and other local G. A. R. men spoke in the same terms of General Ranm. while Representative Bur- rows, of Michigan, Anderson, of Iansas, General Gof, of West Virginia, znd muny others say the selection was the best that could have been made. The appointment was a great surpriso to almosteveryboay. It 1s not likely that a dozen persons in the city anticipated it and those who did were sworn to secrecy. The president last might belioved it hikely that he would make the appomtment but he aid nov reach a final conclusion till after 9 o'clock this moraing, Although General Raum has practiced law or had office here for twelve yearsor more his avpointment is cnarged to Illinois, where he votes. General Raum is one of the original Grant men and the stalwarts will rejoice over his appoiutment. Tho General was sworn in at noon and now has chargo of the ofice. The work will proceed as teretofore next week. Politicians and pension-ofiice employes be lieve that Deputy Commissioner Smith and Assistunt Secretary Bussey will retire soon from the positions they occupy. BAXTER VS CRILLY. Land Commissioner Groff rendered a de- cision to-duy in the homestead entry of Al- fred It. Baxter vs Henry Crilly, juvolving the northwest quarter of section twenty, township tweoty-five, range 747, Chadron land district, which reverses the finding of the local land ofticers and sets up some good precedents. Commissioner Groff again contends for the inherent rights of the original sottler and reminds the local office that it is their duty to advise a contestant or contestes of his rights and privileges in passing upon a case. Tho inference is a strong intimation that the land officer is an advocate as well as a jurist for both parties to a case, and thut it 18 tbe officer’s duty to see that all parties bave all the rights the law gives them. In the course of his decision, which is in the form of a letter to the register and receiver at Chadron, Commissioner Groff says: “The land in question being unoffered, Baxter’s opplication to file alleging settle- ment prior to the date of said ontry as has a8 has been seen, was made within tho stat- uary period. Although the reuson given was sufticient to suspend the same, ihe regis- ter and receiver should have advised the pluintiff of his rights in the premises, When Baxter presented bis application to file, al- leging settlement prior to the date of said entry, you should have supended the same and ordercd a hearing to determine the rights of the respective parties, Since you failed to order such heaging at the time and to apprise Baxter of his rights he can not be considered as having waived them, Under the circumstances of the case the contest against the entry, for the reasons thercin stated, must be neld there- to have been properly instituted. “From the record it appears that on March 8, 1887, the defendant filed with you his duly corroborated aMdavit in which be asks to be permitted to relinquish his homestead entry without prejudice and be allowed to make a new homestead entry for the southeast quarter of section thirty-two, township twenty-six east, range tweniy-seven west. and states asone of the reasons therefor that Baxter was living on the land in g tent av the time he made the entry, and asthe settiement was made on the day the defena- ant went to the land ofiice, to make the entry he could not have known of the sac *I am satisfled, from a cousideration of the testimeny, that the plaintiff was, in poiot of time, the prior settler, and that he bad on the tract substantial and valuable improve ments prior to the defendaut, and tnat e, within a reasonable time thereafter, followed up his settlement by actual residence there- on. This being the case, your decision 18 hereby reversed, and since Crilly has applied for permission to relinquish bis iuterest in the tract, the appligation is hereby accepted as a waiver of his right of appeal and tne entry 18 therefor cancelled and this case closed. Noteon your records and advise the parties nterested that Crilly's eutry having failed because of conflict with the prior right of Baxter, and since he has applied to i i enter a specific tract to-wit: the southeas quarter of section thirty-two, township twenty-six, rango forty-seven west, ho is hereby allowed to entor the samo upon pay- ment of the legal fes and commissions,” A POLYGLOT STENOGRAPHER WANTED, Unless a stenograplier who is capablo of wielding polyglot short hand is found very soon there will be a serious delay in the be- ginning of the International Maritimo con- ference.

WasmiNgroN, Oct, 19.—A dispatch from Minister Denby under date of August 31 re- ferring to the ravages of the Yeilow river in China says the damage caused by the latest breal in banis is irreparable. Owing to the deposits of siit, it is estimated that fifty years must elapse bofore the lanas inundated will be useful again for agricultural pur- Doscs. A peculiar feature of the trouble is that deposits in the bed of the river aro so con- stant in accretion that any system of pre- veution of these breaks in the banks, caused by the rise mn the bed of the river, to be affectivo would cost a most enormous sum of monoy. It seems likely that a radical system of prevention of theso breaks will never be adopted aud floods may be expected each year.
