THE BUFFALO ENQUIKER: THURSDAY. AXUABY 1G, 1808 CARLISLE'S CIRCULAR. FULL HOUSE EVERYBODY Is looking for the best of it. It is so in all the walks of life- The man, the woman, the boy the high, the lowly, the rich, the poor; yes, even the nationsof the earth want the best of it. OR THAT REASON Pres dent Cleveland felt compelled to give John Bull a piece of his mind.

John has a hab.t of not only best, but of sometimes wantingrand takmgall of it. The Ganeral at the head of his army fights for the best of it. The Admial at the head of his fleet fights for the best of it. The lawyer at the bar pleads for the best of it. The Lawmaker seeks the enactment of laws for his country to make the best of it.

The Minister fights sin and the devil to have the world get the best of it. The doctor prescribes against disease to get the best of it. The Epicure orders game The finest the market affords is none too good for him. He wants all the little extra side dishes; all the sweets that should follow as dessert, and when it comes to something to wash all this down with, like the General, the Admiral, Lawyer, Lawmaker, Minister and doctor, he wants the best of it, so he orders EUGENE V.

Such Will be the Senate Committee's Words. AMERICAN DOCTRINES Attitude Toward Other Powers to be Outlined New York, Jan. 16. A Washington special to the Herald says Senator Davis of Minnesota, who is probably one of the best international lawyers on the Senate's Roreign Relations Committee, and to whom for that reason was entrusted the task of framing a measure on the Monroe Doctrine which would carry out the ideas of the full committee, submitted a resolution and a report to accompany it at tne meeting yesterday. It provoked so much discussion, however, owing to the position of Senator Gray, who is violently opposed to any legislation on the subject, and by reason of its extensive scope, that the committee adjourned without final action.

There is no doubt that the committee will report a measure In come shape affirming In the most positive manner the principles of the Monroe Doctrine, and it is probable that the measure as framed by Senator Davis will be endorsed by a majority of the committee. The Davis resolution will be somewhat on the lines of the measure submitted by Senator Lodge. It will go much further than the President's message. Great Britain will, before the Venezuela of Congress that the acquisition by any European power to additional territory on the Western Hemisphere, by force, purchase, or otherwise, will be regarded in an unfriendly light by the United States. With such a measure reported by the Committee on Foreign Relations, further agitation of the Venezuelan question will necessarily follow.

A large number of Senators are already engaged upon speeches, many of them of a Jingo character. These are likely to occupy the attention of the Senate to the exclusion of other business for some weeks to come. It is by no means certain, however, that this Congress will by legislation recognize the Monroe Doctrine. There is a decided difference of opinion between the Foreign Affairs Committee of the two houses, and Speaker Reed, it is stated, Is arrayed against an agitation of the matter in the House. Chairman Hitt of the House Foreign Committee, while a hearty believer in the Monroe Doctrine, is against any legislation on the subject and it is believed he will have sufficient influence with his committee to prevent action similar to that intended by the Foreign Relations Committee of the Senate.

Mr. Hitt believes that the Monroe Doctrine Is already sufficiently well established as a principle of international law, and that It should be left with the Chief Executive to determine when that should be properly applied. her. are other members of the House who believe that if Congress takes any action at all it should not go any further than to declare that the United States cannot admit the acquisition of territory on the American Continent by force. The contemplated action of the Senate committee is directed apparently against that paragraph in the President's message which states that the United States would offer no objection if Great Britain should come to an amicable settlement with Venezuela.

Many supporters of the Monroe Doctrine have looked upon this as a dangerous loophole in the position taken by the Administration. They have taken the ground that under it Great Britain may, by the use of money, secure all of the territory in dispute. It is still the opinion of the Administration that Great Britain before the Venezuela dispute is finally disposed of, give some formal recognition to the Monroe Doo-trlne. A member of the Administration says matte.s are shaping themselves in that direction. FIRE AT GREAT BARRJNGTON.

Great Barrlngton, Jan. 16 The largest fire in the history of this city broke out about 9:45 last night in the Parker block on the east side of Main Street. The loss will. It is believed, reach at least J500.000. At midnight the fire was under control.

THE SCIENTISTS' CONVENTION. The American Association for the Advancement of Science will meet in Buffalo next summer, beginning August 24. A number of people interested in science met Mayor Jewett In his office yesterday afternoon to consider the matter of entertaining the association. Eberr P. Dorr was selected as permanent secretary of the committee on arrangemnts and Mayor Jewett as chairman of that committee will announce his selection of committees soon.

This is the as sociation's fourth meeting in Buffalo, having been here In 1866, 1876 and 1SS6. GOOD HOCKEY PLAYING. Those who went out to the Crystal Ice last night to see the hockey match were well repaid for their trouble and everyone voted it an Interesting game. It Is somewhat new In this city, but the few games played have made such an impression on both spectators and players that it promises to boeome as interesting a sport as football in the fall. Last night's contesting t-ams were the Niagaras frcm Niagara Falls, and the local team connected with tho Crystal Rink.

If anvonn has an impression that these boys from over the border don't know how to the game they want to disabuse themselves of the idea immediately, for they put up a magnificent exhibition last night. Although the Buffalo players are mere novices they, too, played very well considering everything. They succeeded in scoring the only goal in the first 25-minute half, but In the second, the superior team work of their adversaries told on them and they were defeated by a score of 4 to 1.

"Washington, Jan. 16. Secretary Carlisle last night Issued the following additional circular regarding the subscription to four per cent, bonds: "Treasury circular (So. 3, 1896) dated January 1SS6. invftinf proposals for the purchase of one hundred million dollars of United States four per cent, bonds is hereby eo modified that after the payment of the first Installment of 20 per cent, with accrued interest as required in said circular the remainder of the amounts bid may be paid Installments of 10 per cent, each and accrued interest at the end of each 15 days thereafter; but all accepted bidders may pay the whole amount of their bids at the time of the first installment, and all accepted bidders who have paid all installments previously maturing may pay the whole amount of their tld3 at any time not later than the maturity of the lact installment.

NOT AT PRESENT. Trustees of Tonawanda Object to Annexation to Buffalo. At a special meeting of the Board of Trustees of Tonawanda, the matter of annexation to the City of Buffalo was considered, and it was unanimously decided to oppose such a measure at present. President Charles A. Sommer In a brief speech said that while he believed Tonawanda would eventually be absorbed by Buffalo, In his opinion, it unwise to hasten annexation.

The bill now before the Legislature said he, "gives us no choice in the matter, and leaves the adjustment of the terms in the hands of the Board of Supervisors. The village has nothing to say. Annexation, when brought about, should be by and with the consent of all parties interested. The bill has not been drafted in accordance with that idea and it should be killed now." Mr. Sommer believed that it was a scheme of real estate men who have acreage which they wish to sell as city 'ilt is the natural facilities." said he.

that commend a locality to prospective industries, and not the name Our commercial advantages would remain the same even if we were annexed and bore the name of Buffalo There had been a time, the president thought, when annexation would have been desirable. That was when the village was without a police force, paved streets, sewerage, etc. Now, howevei, that Tonawanda had all these improvements, it could gain little by annexa-tlon. Other members of the board spoke expressing similar views. The following resolutions were then presented by Marst and unanimously adopted: Whereas.

It has come to our knowledge that certain parties have prepared and Introduced a bill In tho Assembly, which if it becomes a law will annex the town and village of Tonawanda to the City of Buffalo; and Whereas. This bill was prepared and Introduced by certain parties without consulting and against the wishes of the citizens and taxpayers of this town and village; and Whereas, It would be against the Interests of this village to become a part of the City of Buffalo at this time- and we believe a large majority of the taxpayers of this village are opposed to annexation in the near future; therefore be Resolved, That we the Trustees cf the Village of Tonawanda do protest, both as citizens and taxpayers and as Trustees of the village against the passage of any bill by the Legislature at this time, which will annex this village to the City of BurYalo-and be It Resolved, That we believe in home gov-ernment and that the citizens and taxpayers of Tonawanda ehould first express a desire to become part of the City of Buffalo, before any such action is taken, and such legislation should not be forced upon the people against their wish, and be It Resolved, That the president appoint a committee of six, consisting of himself and five trustees, who shall have power to add to their number not to exceed five citizens and taxpayers, the committee to have power to call public meetings, to employ counsel, go to Albany If necessary, and to use honorable means to prevent the annexation bill becoming a law, and be it Resolved, That the clerk is hereby directed to forward a copy of this preamble and resolutions to the State Senator and Member of Assembly from this district.

FORSYTH. Pre-ilent. M. COUUTNKY, Vice PiesiJent. Music Hall Crowded to Hear Mr.

Debs' Address. STRING OF EPIGRAMS Climaxes and Witticisms of the Speech Were Applauded. Those who revjre the courts and those who oppose political equality; those who imagined Eugene V. Debs to be a wild-eyed anarchist, bristling with foam-flecked and sanguinary-hued ideas, acquired valuable knowledge on these points at the monster meeting held In Music Hall last night. In numbers and enthusiasm the audience was Im mense.

The, intelligent, respectful attention, the demonstrations of approval, showed thatjthe utterances of the speaker dicjrnot fall upon tiers of listless hearers. Debs is a forcible, entertaining speaker. In appearance he closely resemble two well-known men the the late Eugene Field and the present Bill Nye. At a pinch he might pass for James Whit-comb Riley. Debs is not an orator.

He is a plain, blunt man, speaks right on. His gestures are pleasant and appropriate; his sentences sharp, brief and epigrammatic. He quotes agreeably, making but little pretension to dramatic effect. Standard quotations were a feature of his lecture. Hood, Burns, Goldsmith, Shakespeare, Locke, Daniel Defoe, Joaquin Miller, Lowell, were all drawn upon to Illustrate the points of his address.

The best part of the lecture were the epigrams, which In uttering Mr. Debs would punctuate and emphasize with a finger gesture. The audience was thoroughly representative. Every labor union in the city was represented; many clergymen were there; local politicians, county and city office holders were well represented, as was also the Political Equality Club. Many were turned away, being unable to obtain admittance.

Among the best things Bald by the speaker were: "It has been stated that centralization and combine ar the master spirits of this age. The centralization of wealth; the massing of stupendous fortunes in the United States during the las half century, is without parallel in the his tory of the age." "In the march of progress we now count millionaires by the thousand and mendicants by millions." "It is no part of my purpose to appeal to prejudice or raise passions." wish simply to show that tho centralization of wealth has created a power that not only dominates every part of the Government but is a menace to the Republic itself. "There are thousands intelligent people who oppose labor orzanizations because they resort to the strike. In my opinion a strike is in the nature of a calamity, but when I have to choose between a strike and degradation, when that time comes. I favor the strike with all the power at my command." (Loud applause.) "One hundred years ago Patrick Henry said that resistance to tyranny was obedience to God.

On this principle we Justify the strike." "The shot fired at Lexington which was heard round the world was a strike. Were it not for that shot we would be British citizens today instead of sovereign Americans. There were those who were willing to accept colonial dishonor, but there were sturdy men who would not surrender rights at a sacrifice of manliness, honor or patriotism." "Washington, Franklin, Paine and Jefferson were agitators." lay no claim to infallibility on the part of labor organization. "Railroads ombir.e for mutual protection. General managers meet and decide to reduce wages.

They determine the conditions of employment. That is a conference. Railroad employes unite to resist the reduction. That ia a conspiracy. The difference between a conference and a conspiracy is the difference between a railroad manager, and a section hand." (Laughter and applause.) "Tho- Supreme Court of the United States." has surrendered to the money power." "When- the Supreme Court found the Income Tax Law to be unconstitutional its decision was a usurpation dt the functions of Congress.

If that lav placed $60,000,000 of taxation upon the shoulders of the poor the law would not have been found to be unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court." "Tile money power is in absolute control of the United States. It has Invaded the Supreme Court. It has Invaded the church. It dictates legislation. It is the absolute master of the situation.

It sometimes seems to me that the lust for tjold has eaten the heart out of our civilization." "The decision of the Federal Court in the so-called Debs case means that a Federal Judge can imprison any citizen at his own sweet will. This being true. I charge that in so far as the Federal Court's relations to labor are concerned Is despotism pure and simple." "I solemnly protest against a form of government by Injunction." (Loud and continued applause). "When the Injunction was served upon me, in order to show my good faith. sought the advice of the two best law- yers in Chicago.

They told me to proceed in, the course I had been pursuing. I was within my constitutional rights. I was doing what any citizen had a right to do. I took their advice and got six months for it." (Laughter). "What is the effect of the injunctional process? First, what is an injunction' It is simply a force of law.

It is not an enactment of Congress. It Is not the will of the people expressed through its representatives. It Is an order of the judge. An Injunction Is the arbitrary decree of a despot. In Russia there is nothing which excels It." "If you can legally restrain men from quitting the services of a railroad it follows as a logical conclusion that you can restrain railroads from reducing wages." "The nets of justice are so adjusted as to catch the minnows and let the whales slip through." "We, do not ask the courts to help us', but we do ask them to allow us to help ourselves." "The railroad managers conference is secret.

must 'take the public into our confidence." 'In these times of hunger pangs men do not give up positions to acept idleness and poverty without good cause." "The world is unjust, but it is growing- a little better every day." "Will the always draw his rags closet to "him in. order not to touch the silken garment! he has made? Will his nostrils always be tickled by the odor of banquets which he has spread but cannot he always scan palatial residences which he erected but may net enter? No, not always. No, Wjorkingmen will not much longer supplicate for their rights, but they will take them. "Not by violence nor by crime, but by ballots by ballots." The weapon that comes down as still As snowrtakes fall upon the sod But executes the will of man As lightning does the will of Godr And from its powers no doors nor locks Can shield you 'tis the ballot "Shall not labor come to its own? I do not doubt it." There is adjudge in Jfebraska who DIRECTORS. HEWL1N MEDICAL CO CONTINUOUS PRACTICE.

What was the difference between the tramp and the banker? 52,000,000." "In many courts Justice is a purchasable quantity. I ask no special privileges for the poor, but I do ask that they be allowed to stand side by side with the rKii. Why should riches shield rascality any more than poverty?" "When I was in jail in Chicago a fellow prisoner was doing a year for stealing a second-hand He stole the old second-hand coat under as noble an impulse as ever entered the breast of man. His wife was nearly famished. She had not a coat to her back.

He had no work. He had no means of buying- a coat. The second hand dealer had many second-hand coats. So he took one. The coat was not worth a dollar.

But this is the question: Did that man go to jail tor a year because he stole the coat or was it because he had no money 1" "I would not allo-w my wife to suffer for a cloak under the same circumstances if I had to get one honestly or dishonestly." (Loud -applause') "The courts a-e not designed to punish the rich." "Choate said It was rot so important for the courts to be pure as it was for the people to believe them to be pure. There are some courts not open to that, suspicion. "I believe in political equality. As long as a woman is denied the right to vote I think we are not quite civilized. It is her right to decide whether she wants to vote or not.

That noble woman. Frances Willard. is placed on a par with idiots, criminals and Indians." "If women have r.ot the right to vote where did we get the right?" "Every magnificent man had a magnificent mother. Almost anybody will do for a father." "I do not believe that Industrial problems are to be Solved by force." "I want the time to come when the working-men will make good use of their leisure." "Let the workingman cultivate the beautiful graces of the homo and the fireside. There are no bad influences at the fireside." "Buy books, not beer.

I am candid enough to admit that I have tried both." (Laughter.) "Let the vorklngman make up his mind to count one in the world of labor. No man ever went to the penitentiary who passed his leisure time with his wife and family." "Goldsmith says that those who think must govern those who toll, 'so mix a little thought with your toil." "Every workingman should fcave a little library in hid house. You can buy a lot of good books for $5. For CO cents vou can make a good start. Buy a primmer of economics and learn a little every night.

Learn to depend upon yourselves, for it is not necessary to be rich in order to be a man." "If you want to be respected begin by respecting yourself. A man without an ambition and who does not want to amount to anything is the cheapest commodity on earth." "Save a few dollars. It is the man who has not a cent in the bank is always discharged, if you do not need help everybody is ready to help you." "An o'ercoat does not keep me warm if I pass a poor, shivering wretch on the street who has not got one." "The present system of employment is a feudal system." "One remedy for the present miseries is to reduce the hurs of labor. If four hours is enough to clothe and feed and shelter the world, let a day's work be four hours. Some of the public monopolies will have to be taken in charge by the people." "When I was asked if I was in favor of the government ownership of railroads, I replied that the government ownership of railroads was better than the railroad ownership of government." "I have no specific remedy for all thesa ills, but I have faith in education and the future." "Public opinion is invariably unreliable.

Public opinion has sanctioned every outrage which has ever been perpetrated. Every few hundred years public opinion gets right, but that is too long for anybody to wait. The minority is usually right." "I would hate to be like the man who woke up in his room one night and exclaimed, 'My Gcd, there is nobody in this "Washington was called a demagogue. Now he is a deml-god. The difference between a demagogue and a deml-god is but a century." "Christ, who taught the redeeming doctrine of mutual love, perished on the cross.

Every reformer in the history of the world who loved humanity better than himself has perished as a martyr. I hope to see the time come when the world will be civilized to the extent that it will permit a man to be true to himself. I hope to see the time when a man who is honestly trying to better conditions will be appreciated before he is dead and turned to dust for 100 years." "Every man who is trying to be right and is trying to do right is my brother." "If we had more justice we could get along with less charity." "Charity is humiliating; charity stunts." "The finest form of charity Is that which enables a man to help himself." "An employer who gives his men 50 turkeys performs a commendable act. but I don't want to get my turkeys in that way."

Resolved, That the State Farmers Alliance of New York, In convention now assembled at Geneva, regard the action of the Supreme Court of the United States in affirming the condemnation of It May be Adopted by the Buffalo Police Department. Special to The Enquirer.

Albany, Jan. IS. As stated In yesterday's dispatches, Superintendent of Police Bull and CommiEsioners Rupp and Curtiss of Buffalo appeared before the State Prison Commission late In the afternoon and, together with representatives of the police departments of New York and Brooklyn, listened to an explanation of the Bertillon system of identifying criminals. The principal advocate of the system was ex-Chief Mc-Claughry of Chicago, a very able and experienced police officer. Mr.

McClaug-hry explained that he prepared for the horde of criminals that were expected in Chicago during the World's Fair by sending an expert to all the State prisons of this country and to Mexico and Cuba also for measurements of confirmed criminals would would be released up to the time fixed for closing the fair. It was customary, he said, for criminals known to the police of the East to go West and change their personal appearance so that the ordinary means of identification are ineffectual. But no two men ever look exactly alike, so no two measures are just alike, and when a stranger is put under arrest it is an easy matter under the Bertillon system to determine whether or not he is an old offender. Mr. McCIaughry gathered 20.000 measurements which, he said, served the double purpose of making detection easy, and warning the criminal class that they would be known if caught.

He believed many of them pave the World's Fair a wide berth for this reason. If the system was generally In use In State prisons, and police departments, and a general exchange of measurements made as in France, he believed it would be impossible for a professional criminal zo tc disguise himself as to deceive the police 'jnce he is taken into custody. Now, a professional who is John Jones in New York becomes Peter Smith in the West and when charged with some crime imposes upon courts of justice by pleading a first offense. Under the Bertillon system such imposition is impossible. The speaker could tell in two minutes whether a man produced befcre him in Chicago was one of the 20,000 whose measurements were in bis possession.

In Paris with 300,000 measurements a man could be identified in less than five minutes. At the close of Mr. McClaughry's Interesting and clever address. Commissioner Andrews of New York said he was decidedly in favor of adopting the system. He said, moreover, that he favored a law requiring the penal Institutions of State to supply the police of all the cities with the measurements of criminals serving sentence.

Commissioners Rupp and Curtiss and Rupt. Bull seemed to bo equally impressed with the merits of the system and there is ilttle that they intend to adopt it in the Br.fTalo department. TRAMP WAS TOO FAMILIAR. Created a Disturbance in a Shoemaker's Shop. Louis Goldstein, a little shoemaker whose shop is in the basement of the building at the corner of Main Street and the Terrace, was sitting In his shop about 8 o'clock Wednesday evening when a strange man.

Just about his bulla physically, down the steps. The stranger's raiment was torn and tattered artd he bore the external evidences of being of the Wandering Willie tribe. Goldstein watched the man curiously. His curiosity wps accentuated when the stranger slipped and crashed through the glass doors leading to his shop. The crash brought cut M.s.

Goldstein and her two children. They saw the little man pull himself together, walk over to a bench and recline there after pulling out a cigar and lighting It with the utmost nonchalance. As soon as his rage would permit him Goldstein asked the stranger to settle for the broken glaps. The tramp pulled out a greasy handkerchief with a quarter knotted in one corner and offered It to the shoemaker. Tflls fairly maddened Goldstein, and he rushed to Police Station Ko, 1 and demanded redress.

Patrolman Dan Kinnane accompanied him back to tne shop and found -the stranger slumbering on the bench. He was awakened and immediately addressed the shoemaker in a foreign tongue. The conversation between the" two little men was long and animated and was only broken by Goldstein's excitedly raising his fist as if to strike and exclaiming: "You hear what he call me? He call me a tarn Sheeny." The patrolman promptly arrested both men and took them to the- station bouse, where they spent the night. JAMES 1IOONEY, W. J.
