i ium Aqwwww THE LIYBRPOOL DAILY POST TUESDAY NOVEMBER 19 THE PROM OUR LONDON CORRESPONDENT UNIONISM IN NORTH WALES promised men justice peace security order and its functionaries freed themselves from tho common duty of supporting themselves and threw themselves upon the labour of others with the result that men have lost faith in the State and preach anarchy Then science and art under the pretext of the division of labour live upon the shoulders of the working people and make the aim of their activity not the utility of the people but a mysterious activity of science and art Learned men and artists do like men of science and live upon the people without giving anything or at all events anything adequate in return The business of science is to serve the people We have invented telegraphs telephones phonographs but what improvements have we made in the life of the people? We have catalogued two millions of insects But have we domesticated a single animal since biblical times when all our animals had long been domesticated and still the elk and the deer and the partridge and the grouse and the wood-hen are wild Botanists have discovered the pressure he has agreed to the severance of the Welsh Church from the English Church will not he under pressure equally applied agree to the from the United Kingdom Sir Wiliam Harcourt has said that the question of the disestablishment of the Welsh Church has ePeat ProSre because eighteen yearn ago voted in its favour whereas the other day 250 voted in a similar proposition Let me supply a few facts Sir Williem Harcourt deliberately I think ignored It is quite true years ago a small division took place on this question but the teason was that at that time the Libera-tiomst party of Great Britain sought to select as a trial of strength not the disestablishment of the Church in Wales alone but in the whole of Great Britain That proposition was defeated by a very large majority Subsequently a motion was made for the disestablishment of that poition of the Church situated in Wales and a division took place in which tho opponents of the Church in Wales only mustered half of the opponents of the Church in Great Britain Since then the Church in England has made extraordinary progress and it is admitted by all who have watched its operations that however valuable the voluntary system may be no system of voluntaryism would be equal to cope with the spiritual wants of either vast congregations in our urban districts or the more sparse and scattered populations of our rural districts (cheers) The Church is now in a position of such strength that it is almost impregnable and I don believe that any proposition for its disestablishment would meet with any likelihood of success Ijecanse the merits of its work are known and admitted anti admitted by all classes of society I am glad to find a similar awakening is taking place on the part of the Church located in Wales The Church in Wales iB making enormous strides but whether in this part of Great Britain it stands or falls mainly depends on the Church itself It is not by political support given outside but by internal work that it is to be maintained If all Churchmen laymeu as well as clerics will follow the admirable example of your admirable bishop (cheers) and will promote the interests of the Churcii in the way he is doing in a very few years the excellence of the work the Churcii is doing will ba so nniversally recognised that those who are now its bitterest opponents will have the face to carry on a crusade against it Now ladies and gentlemen I have laid before you tbe programmes of tbe two contending parties I have

revolution Brazil has so far had a surprisingly small effect upon business the idea apparently being that the Republic will be speedily and peacefully established Commercial telegrams have been coming from Rio Bahia and other places without delay but to judge from the lack of in tho newspapers news despatches have been for the moment almost entirely suppressed Some anxiety is felt here for the safety of the National line steamer Italy She is four days overdue but it is hoped that the delay may be owing to fog The Inights of Labour who are in conference now at Atlanta Georgia to-day adopted a resolution embodying land nationalization and other theories respecting the land held and taught by Henry George and his disciples Costa Rica is in the throes of a presidential election and as usual the electoral convulsions have required a little bloodshed At Port Simon yesterday in the couse of an election riot six citizens it is stated lost their lives According to returns just issued the year 1889 has been the most prosperous year known in the history of the great cotton manufactories in the Fall River district Some mills have paid as much as 24 per cent and the average of the thirty-three leading firms is 10 per cent In addition to this substantial interest on investments there have been extensive repayments of borrowed capital and writing off of bad debts COTTON STEAMER ON FIRE IN A LIVERPOOL DOCK The fine iron screw-steamer Orkla arrived at Liverpool a few days ago with 5200 bales of Irum Galveston and docked in the Albert Dock About 1700 bales had been discharged when yesterday afternoon shortly after two clock it was found that a lire had broken out amongst the oottou in the fore part of the ship Several fire-eugines were quickly in attendance and efforts were energetically made to extinguish the fire Some part of the cargo had to be removed before tho firs could be got at and then a copious supply of water was poured on the burning cotton The firemen were still playing on the smouldering cotton late last night The cotton in the after hold was being got oat en the quay as quickly as possible There is no other steamer in the dock and preparations have been made to remove the Orkla away from tne Albert Dock Warehouses if possible The damage by fire was not expected to be very serious but it is likely that at least 2000 bales of cotton would be damaged by the water The steamer bad also 200 or 300 tons of oilcake on board and most of this saturated by the water The after hold of the steamer was apparently untouched by either the fire or water and the cotton was being rapidly discharged therefrom The chief warehouse keeper of the Albeit Dock (Mr Price) reports that at about 215 while a sling of three bales of cotton was being hoisted from the main hold the bales bnrst into a flame They weie got on the quay as quickly as possible but some oftbe burning cotton fell into the hold setting firo to the cotton there Infor tnation was at on Be telephoned to Hatton-garden Meanwhile the dock hands got three branches into play and the dock master (Mr Palmer) also got his hose to work The fire brigade and salvage corps were soon on the seene and it was then found that the fire had communicated with No 1 hold Branches were directed to this point and in about an hour and a half the fire was mastered as far as possible The extent of damage from fire is not expected to he very great but that from water will be somewhat serious At the time of the fir there would bea bottt 2000 bales of cotton and lQfl tons of oilcake in the holds administration by which the riotous and disorderly element of society exhibited inParliament Ireland or elsewhere had been suppressed have combined together to give this great impetus to our trade and to our commerce In that address ladies and gentlemen you make a special allusion to one of our colleagues who has had to bear the brunt of the fray bravo Mr Balfour (applause) I use the word brave advisedly because I observed the other day that Sir William Vernon Harcourtwho is the exact antipodes of Mr Balfour has sneered at him for possessing this bravery and added that brave Mr Balfour does not go down Ladies and gentlemen bravery aud bouescy combined form in the aggregate what is known as character and character in politics as well as in other professions in the long run tells Brave Mr Balfour who in Sir Vernon opinion would not go only a few days after that speech was made wis received almost with imperial houours by the town of Manchester (cheers) Alter all we must niot too severe on poor Sir Harcourt I think it was more of chagrin and envy than any other qualities which suggested to him to apply that epithet to Mr Balfour for I noticed when he addressed a great meetiug at Carnarvon a mouth back although his hosts on that occasion were anxious to pay him all the honour you have paid me to-day not one of them felt oven in that complimentary deviation from truth which husting language allows the word brave could be employed to his present performances ur his past deeds Now let us see what it is that tbe brave Mr Balfour has done What are his misdeeds I believe at the present moment there are in Irish gaols some dozen Irish MP and their hardships are made the subjects of coinmisseration from hundreds of Radical platforms through the United Kingdom That is one side of the picture But on the other we have the fact that two years ago there were some 5000 persons not or educated men but poor humble people who were suffering in Ireland under that hideous system of boycotting This number has been reduced to about three hundred and yet the sufferings of the 5000 because they were only poor people were never heard of from Radical platforms This year when I was in Ireland I made as careful an inquiry as I could ae to the condition of that country There are two unfailing tests of the condition of a country its gaols and its savings banks The latter should be full iid tbe former empty The amount in the Irish savings banks is larger now than it has ever been before whilst the number of prisoners is less than it has been for many years past In ail parts of Ireland the Land League lias collapsed aud coincident with this collapse trade has revived Employment has multiplied and wages are rising (cheers) tenants are beginning to see that the object of the Plan of Campaign is to force them to place such unreasonable conditions on their landlords that it is impossible for the landlords to comply Evictions take place and they are turned out of their property and their interests in their holdings That a thrilling incident for a platform in England but the tenant is beginning to think it is rather hard that his material interest should be sacrificed to the agitator more especially as the greater portion of the money which comes from America for his benefit gets arrested by the same agitator on the way (laughter) Through the courage of Mr Balfour law and order are now asserted in Ireland Although there may be parts of Ireland where the struggle still continues the game of disorder and lawlessness as far as Ireland is concerned iB up (cheers) It is satisfactory therefore for us to find that the success of our administration in Ireland is indisputable especially as wo find our Separatist opponents are unable to make the policy which they would substitute for that now in force in Ireland explainable When be spoke at Carnarvon Sir William Harcourt came straight from Hawarden The proposition ho came to answer was By what means and by what machinery is the Imperial authority of the Westminster Parliament to bo exercised over the Parliament in Ireland which you propose to set up And in attempting to answer it ho let the cat out of the bag He intimated that the methods and machinery are to be left to be decided by a Home Rule majority when they get one (laughter) If theNSeparatists have a plan it is their duty to take the peoplo into their confidence if they have not then they are guilty of humbugging the coustituencies (cheers) They are in this difficulty Mr Gladstone and his colleagues have over and over again said that no scheme of Home Rule can be put forward which has not the approval of Mr Parnell aiid his colleagues It would be very awkward for Mr Parnell to give his assent to any moderate scheme of Home Rule for ho would have to tear himself asunder from the wild spirits in the West of Ireland and in America who supply him with uuds and the motive power of his organisation (cheers) It is quite clear if a Home Rule majority were aped together by hook or by ciook those who uld decide the means by which the authority of the Imperial Parliament was to be asserted in Ireland would be Mr Parnell and his friends Mr Parnell had said again and again that he would not have taken off his coat if he could not break the last link that connected Ireland with Great Britain Ia it reasonable that Mr Glad

North Wales took place yesterday at Rhyl In the afternoon a conference of delegates from the various Conservative organisations in the district was held in the Town Hall under the presidency of Sir Richard Williams-Bulkeley Among others present were Mr Edward Whitley MP Sir William Grenville Williams Colonel Standish Fore Colonel Humberston (Chester) Colonel Lloyd Williams Mr Pennant Mr Thomas Bate (Kelsterton) and Mr Thom (Hawarden) The Chairman in opening the proceedings referred to the tithes question which he said was indissolubly connected with the question of the Church While there was no reason in his opinion for the violent attacks now being made upon the Church most of them would agree that the Church was at present greatly in need of some stringent reform As a pi oof of that he stated that within drive of his own house there was a church in which no service had been conducted for twelve months and yet the tithe hai besn exacted from that parish ail the same He had no doubt similar cases existed in various other parts of Wales and if they were to put an end to disturbances in the Principality they wanted some reform from within the Church quite as much as any legislation respecting tithes Mr Pennant proposed a resolution representing the extreme urgency of the tithe question and requesting the Government to pass a measure dealing with the question in a comprehensive spirit He thought the end at which they should aim was the redemption of the tithes (hear hear) No doubt such scandals as that to which the chairman had referred existed in Wales but he believed they would be removed by the parting of the Clergy Discipline Bill which the Archbishop of Canterbury had introduced last year Mr John Corbett seconded Mr Williams said they wanted a simpler and less expensive method than at present existed of getting rid of unfit and discredited clergymen who were doing great injury to the Church in Wales He moved an addition to the motion setting forth the desirability of establishing a tribunal of laity and clergy as a aheap and simple method of getting rid of unfit clergymen now occupying positions in the Church Mr Priestley (Anglesey) thought they were not taking the wisest view of the tithe question As Churchmen they had no idea of the excessive soreness that was felt on the question When they spoke of transferring the burden of the tithes from the tenants to the landowners they forgot that there was a great and increasing number of freeholders who would always object to paying tithes His own opinion was that ui these days religious ascendancy was out of place and if they did away with tithes altogether it would be better both for themselves and their Church Mr Humphreys (Ruthiu) thought the proposal that the tithes should be shifted from the landlord to the tenant did not go to the root of the question and the result would be that the difficulty which had existed between the parson and the tenant would in future be placed between the landlord and the tenant and the amicable relations that had long existed between them would be broken The objection of the people was not to the payment of tithes but to the people who received them and he therefore agreed that it was necessary that the Church should do its duty better than it had done in the past Mr Roberts (Mwrog) held that the present agitation was promoted not so much against the payment of tithes bb against the existence of the Church in Wales Considerable objection was taken to Mr proposal which was regarded by some speakers os a censure ou the clergy of Wales Ultimately it was withdrawn and the motion with a rider in favour of the Church Discipline Bill was passed unanimously The conference afterwards discussed several subjects relating to the party organisations in the Principality In the evening a public meeting was held in the Rink at the Winter Gardens whon an address was delivered by Lord George Hamilton First Lord of the Admiralty His lordship who was the guest of Captain Conwv at Bodrhyd-dan was escorted to the gardens by a torchlight procession headed by a brass band and on entering the hail he was accorded an enthusiastic reception by an audience numbering about 2000 persons Lord Mostyn presided and was sup-lorted on the platform by Mr Whitley MP Jir Pryce Pryce-Jones Sir Robert Conliffe Sir Richard WiUiamB-Bulkeley Sir Grenville Williams Messrs Conwr Williams Wynne (of Cefn) Scott Bankes Pennant Major Mainwaring and Colonel Hore and a large number of ladies Mr Pennant announced that letters of

Tho course of events in Brazil continue to be followed by Americans with the keenest interest and Republicans and Democrats alike express warm sympathy with the new Government The peaceful character of the revolution is much commented upon and it is heped that the establishment and consolidation of the new Republic will be effected without bloodshed Solid ground for this hops is found in the cabled announcement that the important provinces of Bahia and Pernambuco have accepted the new regime an example which it is thought cannot fail to have an important effect upon the more remote districts of the country It is very evident that the popular feeling shred in the State Department at Washington and it is an open secret that Mr Blaine views with favour the establishment of the new Republic upon the ruins of an empire the existence of which on the American Continent he has always held to be an anomaly The Brazilian delegates to the International Maritime Conference and to the Pan-American Congress have been placed in an awkward predicament by the revolution The Government by whom they were accredited has dc facto ceased to exist and the uew Government has not yet confirmed or renewed their credentials They have for the moment smoothed over the difficulty by withdrawing from both conference and congress but they remain at Washington in an unofficial position It is reported that the Brazilian Minister at Washington has cabled to Rio tendering his resignation According to advices from Rio the Emperor and family did not embatk on board the regular mail steamer which in fact not due until to-morrow from Monte Video It not at all improbable that the Imperial fugitives were placed on board a coasting steamer and that they may come to this port In that case they would proceed to Europe by one of the fast Atlantic liners REUTER'S TELEGRAMS Paris Monday The Due de Nemours has sent a telegram to Queen Victoria confirming the news that the Emperor of Brazil and the Impeiiai family have embarked for Europe with-out being subjected to any disagreeable experiences St Petersburg Monday In an article upon the revolution in Brazil the semi-official Journal de St Petersbourg after expressing icgret at the overthrow of the throne of Dom Pedro says The Emperor of Brazil during his repeated long stays in finrope bas gained respect and universal sympathy by his eminent qualities The fate which has just befallen him by tho ingratitude of a portion of his subjects will be deeply deplored everywhere As regards Brazil it is to be feared that it certainly will be deprived order and security for a long time to On the London Stock Exchange yesterday Brazilian loans expet ienced a considerable fall At one time Brazilian 1883 aud 1888 Loans were 9 per cent lower on the day and other Brazilian securities showed a corresponding decline but at the close of the market there was a slight improvement It is feared in London financial circles that Brazil before long will become divided into several small republics and that in such an event it would be difficult if not impossible to avoid disputes as to the apportionment of the public debt of the late empire Although the fall in Brazilian Stocks was severe yesterday it would have been mueh more serious if they ha 1 not been strongly held Brazilian securities have heretofore been in great favour with larae banks and private financial firms who yesterday held firmly thus preventing a complete collapse of the market The crisis in Brazil has had a very serious effect on Portuguese and Spanish stocks and securities a feeling prevailing somewhat generally that BeriouB political problems putsihly affecting the existence of the dynasties will soon press for solution in the peninsula It is expected that the Brazilian diplomatic agents abroad will receive to-day a telegraphic circular from the new Government for communication to the various Governments to which they are accredited The secretary of a London company having business relations with Brazil telegraphed to the new Brazilian Government on Saturday as follows It is most nrgept that the Government inform mo whether she contract with the Imperial Government under which they locate 2000 families on our lands ip Parana will be confirmed by the new The reply was as follows Tho Provisional Republican Government of the United States of

MANUFACTORIES lYROlf OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT VIACOUMERCIAI CABLE 1 New York Monday Night Chancellor of the Brazilian Consulate in this city said yesterday to a Herald reporter I think there has been a military revolt in Rio de Janeiro and nothing more I believe the navy has taken any hand in the matter and I cannot understand why the people are quiet Rio is a city of o00000 people who I need not tell you are excitable I might say inflammable They dislike the military who are overbearing and offensive There are about 3000 soldiers in Rio and they are without discipline or courage They are little bits of fellows mostly mulattoes and nondescripts and the people hold them of little account If Rear-Admiral De Gama had been in the city there would have been nothing of this revolt I do not believe there is much of it as it is 1 heard this morning that he had started from Washington for Brazil and when he gets home they will soon find that the most popular man in the navy is on The thing has been too sudden to be lasting and it is not an uprising of the people I do not think we know the truth yet The cables are in the hands of the soldiers and of course they will not let out anything unfavourable to A special despatch from Rio de Janeiro to the Times says that the new Government assumes the title of the United States of Brazil and has adopted a flag Dom Pedro who has accepted £500000 in cash and an annual pension of £80000 sailed from Rio on board the Alagoas convoyed by a cruiser and a gunboat The new flag has green and gold stripes with a blue field emblazoned with nineteen stars It is recognised in every province except Bahia where there is opposition Not a life has been lost and the Minister of Marine is recovering from his wound Business in Rio was suspended only twenty-four hours The Provisional Government announces that all obligations incurred by the Empire at home or abroad will be faithfully fulfilled by the new Republic The leaders in control are representative Brazilians The New York editorial comments are handicapped by the lack of direct news The Tribune' is not by any means probable that the officers of the garrison have entered into the insurrection against the Government without having been instigated to such action by ambitious politicians who are confident that the Republican order is really desired by the people Whether these politicians know the temper of the great body of the former slaveowners who are embittered against the Crown by their financial losses or whether they anticipate an instantaneous conversion of the Liberal majority in Parliament to Republican principles it is perhaps premature to consider but the movement apparently is somethin! more than a military insurrection foments for selfish ends by restleas adventurers It is a genuine and irresistible demonstration of Republican The Times believes that such a Government may be very energetic for it may use the inherited power of the past with relative recklessness as to the future But unless it hits upon a leader of extraordinary ability and force it is always exposed to an overthrow by the very means by which it snatched its own supremacy But though the revolution in Brazil must seem with our present knowledge largely an accident and one that interrupted what bade fair to be steady and safe progress towards the liberal extension of a popular share in the management of affairs it seems clear that it must be the beginning of an entirely new political career for the country and of one that will be watched with anxious sympathy by all intelligent American Theater says To the citizens of the United States the disappearance of a Monarchy anywhere and the establishment pf a Republic in its stead is always a cause of satisfaction as experience and reason teach us that a Republican form of government is sure in the end to best promote the happiness of the people Otherwise the overthrow of so liberal and progressive a sway as that of Dom Pedro would be accounted a The Herald says With the Brazilian Republic the whole western hemisphere south of St Lawrence is Republican The world will now be equally divided one hemisphere

Night There is something pathetic about tho final fate of the Emperor of Brazil But a few months ago he was in Europe apparently at door hoping only that he might reach home to carry out some final arrangements for the emancipation of the slaves He had a wonderful recovery reached Brazil convalescent and was quite forgotten in Europe till suddenly comes the news that he is no longer an Emperor but a fugitive The telegram which announces the revolution describes the Emperor as declaring he will yield only ta force A few hours later the news comes that he is already on board a steamer bound for Europe having made an arrangement with his old subjects whereby he will at least be free from monetary inconveniences for the rest of his life Looked at from this side it has been a curiously almost comically commercial transaction The Emperor has been compulsorily 4 bought out just as if he were an Irish landlord and there has been less rumpus than there is at an average quarter day on the Clanricanle estates It is a sign of the deeply rooted prosperity of Brazil for which it owes much to the dethroned monarch that the revolution has veiy little influenced the stock markets Of course stocks and loans directly connected with Brazil have to-day fallen a point or two but the movement is almost imperceptible in comparison with the magnitude of the event The attitude of the directors of the London Road Car Company reasonable firm yet conciliatory has had its due effect To-day all their cars are running the men expressing themselves perfectly satisfied with the arrangement made But everyone concerned knows that it is merely temporary The men dropped their demand for the twelve limit because it was shown to them by the chairman that if the Road Car Company adopted it they must forthwith go into liquidation and there would be an end both of masters and men But it is only a temporary retreat The Road Car directors are quite ready if the General Omnibus Company will work with them to place matters on a footing which would enable them to concede the demands but as long as penny fares exist in London on the present scale so long will it be impossible to grant the boon demanded by the men The Road Car Company have earned a debt of gratitude from the millions who throng the thoroughfares of London by introducing the penny fare They did it on a sound commercial principle professing benefit to others and profit to themselves Then the General Omnibus Company determined to crush a dangerous rival entered the field and extended their system of penny fares till now one can ride for three miles through London for a penny Overtures have I believe from time to time been made to the directors of the General Omnibus Company to readjust matters not abolishing penny fares but making the distances reasonable Unfortunately for the shareholders of the General Omnibus Company who see the value of their property steadily decreasing and their dividend Iwpt up only by drawing on the reserve rund the amour-propre of Mr Church tho general manager is cohcemed Two years ago he said the Road Car Company could ntt live and openly announced that as soon as he had crushed it the 'bus fares would be raised to their old level The Road Car Company is not only living but thriving whilst the stock of the General Omnibus Company to-day stands at a lower price than it has done for many years This is a question which is likely to be taken up at the next meeting and Mr Church will have to put his pride in bis pocket The talk about strikes is varied to-day by a rumour of quite a new one It is said that Prince Henry of Battenberg has finally struck against the arrangement which since he was married has practically kept him tied to his Royal apron strings When the marriage took place it was stipulated that Princess Beatrice should not be withdrawn from that close attendance upon her mother which has been the devotion of her life That was formally and categorically settled and it was more than assumed that where the wife was there the husband would be also From some points of view the conditions were a little arduous for tho bridegroom but the bribe was splendid to be admitted to the circle of the Royal Family of England to obtain a claim upon the purse of the richest nation in the world and to be dubbed Royal Highness (though that it is true does not pass currency qutside Great Britain) was worth some sacrifice At the outset the young Prince faithfully kept his part of the bargain About two years ago there was a story current to the effect that proceeding from Windsor to Osborne following close on the steps of her Majesty Prince Henry took advantage of a fog in the Channel to plead the impossibility of crossing and got back to town in time for the theatres and had a pleasant evening after This strategic movement served to sliow how faithfully he at tho outset endeavoured to bear his allotted part Now however according to the story current in circles where the truth is likely to be known the Prince has put his foot down and claimed his liberty Certainly he has set out for the Mediterranean intending to cruise about not returning till February Since the marriage took place he has never been from under the eyes for a consecutive period exceeding a weok or ten days Sir Charles Tennant has received from the Manchester

to do anything And the man who does nothing useful has no right to live on the labours of others If this be the case with those who serve the Church and the State with men of art and of science much more is it true of those who with ample wealth at their com-mind live lives that may net only be idle but vicious and hurtful It necessarily follows that if no man has a right to live by the labour of another he must work himself And this is Count answer to the question to For men must work and women Bast weep was a sentiment Kingsley Hove into a song but Tolstoi carries it uch further than Kingsley did He prescribes the kind of work Our whole system of the division of labour to his mind is wrong and vicious Man must live by the sweat of his brow it is duty to increase the species and that to the uttermost Every man according to Count Tolstoi should live in the country and work upon the land All men should plough hew wood make boots cook their own food provide their own clothing reiqove their own refuse instead of smoking playing cards and riding about carrying with them from one place to another their dulness during the ten hours which every man of letters has at his When this comes to pass men will cease to ruin themselves and will find happiness The great majority of working people will no longer consider it shameful to clean sewers but will consider it shameful to fill them up in order that other men our brethren may carry their contents away they will not consider it shameful to walk in goloshes by bare-footed people they will not think it shameful not to know French or about the last novel but they will think it shameful to eat bread and not know how it is prepared they will not consider it shameful not to have a starched ihirt or a clean dress but that it is shameful to wear a clean coat as a token of idleness they will not consider it shameful to have dirty hands but not to have callouses on their Such is Count picture of the Ideal world It is not a pleasant one and it is not practical or desirable The revolt dgailist idleness and mere ste of wealth and time and knowledge it it easy to understand and sympathise with but man does not live by bread alone and there are people in the world who have higher duties in life than to grow turnips make boots and clean out drains The intellectual moral and religious side of life is quite as and even more important than his physical well-being and any scheme of social reform which would imperil the higher for a questionable improvement of the conditions of the lower life cannot commend itself to the moral sense or the intellect of mankind Resort to manual or even to agricultural labour by all those whom Count Tolstoi accuses of living unprofitably Upon the labour of others would not abolish wretchedness and misery or find employment for the unemployed and the more fruitful increase of the species would carcely tend in that direction His denunciation of the evils and abuses of our existing systems may have in them both force and truth but to revert to the patriarchal era is impossible and his attempt to solve the problem What to leaves it in its original obscurity THE IRISH

what is to be the machinery and methods by which they are to coerced and restrained from accomplishing their primary political object (cheers)? Ini these circumstances you can well understand the embarrassment of our opponents and they have Hacted as wise men During tho last two or three weeks 'they have come to the conclusion that Home HIRuleisno longer a question with which the ears of the electors tre to be tickled A new depar- ture is to be made To-morro Mr John Morley I is a perfect master of epigrammatic commonplaces is to make a speech in London by which be hopes to obtain the support and vote of the treme labour party in London It is hoped that by their assistance and by the assistance of tho Ig kindred associations throughout the country they! I may be able to scrape a harum-scarum majority I hold that whilst it is legitimate for ua within certain lines to try and ameliorate the oondition I of labour it is not legitimate for any political! party to embark on a policy of plunder for the I sake of catching a few votes (cheers) And auyl I proposals which are made for the purpose of unfairly taxing the rich because they are rich and I of making them part with any portion of their! property which equitably and legally they possess I an unjust policy to which the Conservative party cannot for a moment give its sauction (cheers) I will give you an instance of what I mean Sir William Harcourt at Carnarvon was! endeavouring to propitiate the rural Radical sol he held out the inducement that every leaseholder 1 ought to become tho owner of the freehold which he occupied Tbe more by legitimate means wo I can multiply the owners of land the better for thel Unionist prospect but we must take very good care! that the merit of the proposal in the eyes of those I who make it is not that in the process of transfer! something is taken from the individual now pos-l sensing it and transferred to the individual who! going to possess it (cheers) After Sir William 1 Harcourt had spukBn at Carnarvon he went on tol London and there had to meet the grievance of! the urban Radical His views are somewhat dif-I gjfcreut from those of tbe rural Radical He wants! to tax the landlord out of existence Sir William I told them there was not in his judgment enough! Ig taxation on the owners of taxation either I local or Imperial These sentiments were received 1 if Shouts of applause Now let me put these 1 two propositions together Tbe rural Radical who I to leaseholder is to be enfranchised He is to gut I the property of his landlord at less than the! market value An admirable proposition says the! rural Radical But the town Radical Bays increased I rates are to be put on that property Imperial! I taxation is to be levied The freeholder will find! ithat although he gets that property at a lower i value than the market price when he becomes pos-i sussed of it it ia subject to taxation from which itl i was previously free He will moreover find that! he will not be able to dispose of it as I I easily as he bought it Tle result willi I be that the freeholder under the Harcourtianl I rigime will find himself worse off than the fairly i I treated freeholder under the present rigime (ap-1 Splause) There ib at the present moment going on El a system of political exchange and bartering of! principle for the express purpose of trying to get i Ra majority which will rush a Home Rule scheme! through Parliament We lost or rather we did inot win an election in the North of Scotland other day when a gentleman named Mr IKeay was returned The principles he were characterised by Mr Gladstone os folly and 1 robbery and yet so far from repudiating him candidature was supported by that gentleman He won his election on this platform of folly robbery and will no doubt now be able to some bargain with Mr Gladstone by which will hereafter be able to give to each other sup- port for their respective schemes The last in- stance in which there has been any barter or sale iof political principle is in a matter which affects 8 Sail of you It is a very burning and ticklish question to touch I refer to the Establishment of the Church in Wales Some years ago Mr IGladstone made a very remarkable Bpeech in House of Commons in opposition to the disestab-11 jlishmeut of the Church of Wales He said it waaH impossible to separate the Church in Wales from ithat of England and up to a recent date he took 11 his stand on this ground This position is identical with his position as regards the integrity of land as part of this realm He has urged the same argument in support of the integrity of the 11 one as in support of the integrity of the other The other day a strong remonstrance was against this attitude by some gentleman in Car- narvon Mr Gladstone replied He wanted to consider what his words meant and them to the great question of controversy in con- ncction with Ireland If political pressure similar "-J to that brought by the Welah Radicals on Mr Gladstone were brought by Mr Parnell and friends hereafter would not Mr Gladstone that although he believed the practical ties of the severance of Ireland from Great Britain would be found very great under given stances the difficulties would have to be faced (laughter) He would of course he is obliged at times to attend to the prickings of indulge in some such utterances as those he in- dulged in this letter These are all fine sounding sonorous words but when you reflect what they mean it is absolute nonsense You can only come fe to the conclusion that no words Mr Gladstone provisional Government has depatched the following telegram to the Brazilian Minister in London Tho Government is constituted as the Republic of the United States of Brazil The Monarchy is deposed aud the Imperial family have left the ocuntry The provinces have sent in their adhesion Tranquility and general satisfaction pre-vaii The executive power is entrusted to a provisional Government whose head is Marshal Deodot da Fonseca and the Finance Minister myself The Republic respects all engagements obligations and contracts of the THE BRAZILIAN ARMY AND NAVY In 1888 the Army of Brazil consisted of 13000 men on the peaee footing and the Navy of 59 vessels inclusive of 9 ironclads 17 gunboats and 9 torpedo boats THE EMPEROROF BRAZIL IN LIVERPOOL It will be interestieg to fedall the fact that the Emperor and Empress of Brazil visited Liverpool in 1871 during the Mayoralty of the late Mr Joseph Hubbaek when the distinguished party and suite were entertained to luncheou at the Town Hall The Emperor of Brazil on the occasion of his list visit to Europe passed through Liverpool and his appearance at the Landing-stage is spoken pf by those who saw him as that of a man of very dignified hut modest bearing His Majesty was of an exceedingly affable and courteousdisposition and took particular notice of the shipping of the Mersey He was regarded among the merchants of Liverpool trading witB the Brazils as one of the most enlightened and humane sovereigns in the world THE HEAD OF THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT Field Marshal Deodoio da Fonseca the head of the Provisional Government is sixty-three years of age and is the most popular officer of Brazil He took Dart in the four war with Paraguay (1861 to 1865) and was wounded at the battle of Itororo He has a high reputation as a tactician and is a thorough soldier Benjamin Constant another of the Republican leaders and now Minister of War is a professor at the Military Academy and an eminent Brazilian writer He was an early pupil of Auguste Comte and in 1871 founded the Brazilian Positivist Club for whish he incurred the displeasure All the young officers of the army have been his pupils and aie entirely devoted to him Benjamin Constant has many points of likeness with Carnot He is now fifty-three he i3 cool and prudent and has a reputation for stainless integrity He has always been a Republican but has not suught to pat himself forward He would certainly not be in the Republican movement if it were a mere flash in the pan In viewing the situation it should be borne in mind that the Republican Government has at its beck and call 6000 men at Rio out of the 15000 men who fori the Brazilian Army Of the remainder at least two-thirds are thoroughly Republican SIR JAMES FERGUSSON ON THE REVOLUTION Sir James Fergusscn MP Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs speaking at Dartford last night alluded to the revolution in Brazil and said that to many in this country the depositioi of the Emperor and the proclamation of the nev form of Government might appear of little consequence but it could not be a matter of indifference' that the form of Government responsible to British creditors for £50000000 had been broken up Our trade with imports and exceeded £11000000 and was increasing It took our manufactured cotton to the amount of £3 000 COO a year aud the country possessed capabilities of almost boundless development and commercial expansion Let them therefore hope that the difficult task of reconstruction might be guided by prudence and firmness It was not the least of the achievements that he had removed the stigma of slavery from the only remaining Christian land on the American oontinent MWilliam Sackville West Sir John Puleston MP Sir Watkin Wynn and Sir Evan Morris HColunet Cornwallis West MP wrote from The prescut attitude of the Separa- tist party makes it incumbent upon every man to show his horror and detestation of the principles advocated by them (applause) States men are found to extenuato boycotHIi describe i in well-known words by MrHRiJiiii lias leading to murder and outrage whilst thel swindling system known as the Plan of Campaign is extolled and commended Instead of bring gratified they are disappointed at the ifl proved condition of Ireland where lawlessness has a great measure succumbed to the able aud Hvigorous administration (applause) Lord Mostyn in opening the proceedings con-1 gratulated the meeting on having with them Lord George Hamilton one of her most distinguished advisers who had come down to Rhyl to rally the men of North Wales to the II cause uf the Union and the cause of the empire Without law aud order at home combined with! Ill strength and conciliation abroad the United Kingdom would soon lose its proud position I Hamnngst the Governments of Europe One thing they would all agree upon and that was that the Snaval power of our country must be kept up The great naval power of England was security for tho I peace of the whole world With respect to our sister country Ireland its present condition was! evidence of the just and skilful administration off its affairs by her Government He I trusted it would be long ere sueh a calamity I occurred as that by any chance the power should fall from the bands of her present I advisers ioto those of men who would drive I tandem and random through the walls of our I grand old British constitution (applause) Lord George Hamilton was presented withi congratulatory addresses from sixty Conserva-I Htive associations Primrose League habitations! (including that flourishing at Hawarden) and! working clubs Lord George Hamilton on rising to reply received with prolonged cheers He said I thank I you for the unparalleled honour you have paid tol Imc not only by yoUr warm welcome but by the! vast number of addresses which have been presen-1 Bted to me But I feel that neither my past I political actions nor my administrative work I entitle me to be the recipient of any such honour 1 Ip take it you have selected this occasion in order I mhat you may convey to the Government of which 1 im a member what is the feeling of right-think-1 aiiig men so far as their action and their policy are Eg concerned (cheers) I take the number and the I variety of the designation of the different clubs aud I societies which presented these addresses as a test! nf the vigour vitality and growth of the Unionist I 1 cause in this misrepresented part- of Wales! (cheers) but I was especially pleased to see the I ladies so prominently forward There is between Selection and election unlimited opportunity for! 1 woman with her tact and her kindness to show! ithat she takes a deep interest in the social in I religious and in the material amelioration of ail I those among whom she lives and I believe! it is because the Primrose League is 13 worked upon these lines that it has taken 1 such deep root in our political soil ill 1 was glad to see that in all the addresses I you lay special emphasis upon the fact that I I prudence has been exhibited in the administration 1 both of home and foreign affairs and I take it asH I a happy omen that our opponents by their conduct I and utterances have raauo prudence a monopoly of I I the Unionists party (laughter) You have made I 9 allusion to the increase of tbe naval armaments of I this country which I was instrumental in carry- I ing through (cheers) I have so explained both the scope and the object of the 1 measures that you will excuse me from doing ic to-day but if credit and if honour be due to any-H I one for the passage of that measure it is dueH rather to' some of my colleagues than to It is a very easy thing for any man when he I been some time at the Admiralty and is assisted I by experienced naval officers to formulate a sue- i cessf ul scheme To demand money is easy enough 11 I but to supply it is an entirely different matter Now the objection which many of our political antagonists conscientiously entertained to I great increase in the strength of the Navy was 3 twofold They were afraid that the increase might I be used for the purposes of aggression and in the second place that the money necessary to put our 1 naval armaments in an efficient condition would entail very heavy additional burden on tbe tax- 3 payers The tint objection the policy of Lord 3 Salisbury effectually disposed of and the second lis knocked on the head by the funding of the National Debt effected through the mastery ot business and intimate acquaintance with the money market of Mr Goechen By this means the cost of the naval defences of the next seven years hsve been guaranteed I hope we are on the edge of a I period of revival of trade increased employment and higher wages and if all those hero present i either are participating or will participate in their I hope they will not

Experiments recently made in the Washington navy yard encourage Mr Secretary Tracy in the belief that an armour piercing shell can be made here to surpass European productions The process in favour consists of a bath of glycerine and sal-amoniac in which steel of low or soft grade is placed at red heat and allowed to cool When taken out it is an entirely new metal being increased in elasticity and tenacity to a wonderful degree The chief advantages in this process for armour plates or steel shells lie the fact that erne part can be made hard while the other is left soft and elastic Several shells were treated to this bath last week and when taken out the point of the shell to the depth of six inches was so hard that no single cutting tool in the yard could affect it The centre of the shell was a little less hard and the rear end retained its original soft and elastic properties Tho plans and specifications for the barbette battleship Puritan have been decided upon Her armour will be fourteen inches thick above the water-line and will taper to the thickness of six inches below the water The batteries which will contain big guns will be twenty-nine feet in diameter and the armour fourteen inches thick The armour in tho turrets which will be inclined at an angle of forty-five degrees is to be nine inches thick Steel shields will defend the smaller guns and the pilot-house will be protected by 10-inch armour The engines will be of the compound style and there will be eight boilers The Puritan will be armed with four 12-inch rifles four 4-inch rapid-fire guns and four 37-millimetre Hotchkiss guns Two Hotchkiss guns will be mounted on the military mast and there will be two electric search lights one forward and one aft The counsel for the defence in the
