After thanking the people for the warm re
ception accorded him he asked where could
there be found a higher average level of in
telligence outside of the United States than
was presented beforo him. He had seen
thousands of just such audiences in Amer
ica. Fifty years ago the intelligence was
not so great. Contact with each other in
commercial and political channels had
built np this present unrivaled intellect
ual commonwealth. . We have become
intelligent enough to recognize and
admit the right of the majority to rul
There is a great wrong being done in this
country to-day; eight millions of people,
with their representatives, were deprived of
their rights, and thesH rights given .to tho
Southern leaders. Twenty-six seats in

who had no more right to them than they
had a right to seats in the British Parlia
ment. A great cry was set up over the
Lodge bill depriving people of their risbts.
It did deprive them of the right to steal
ballot-boxes, disfranchise negroes and doc
tor returns. The Nation had a right to
know tfbout these methods in the South.
Tho Democrats are sensitive about bayo
nets. Can it be that recollection of the
past has anything to do with their feelings
on this subject? Laughter, j

GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.
Irish National Land League Becoming Hard
Pressed for Money.
Special to the Indianapolis JournaL
London, Oct. 22. Letters and telegrams
from Dublin published in London papers
represent the Irish National League as
rooro closely pressed for money thdn had
been suspected. The special collections
taken in tho churches will not more than
defray the ordinary expenses of tho league.
It is asserted by Timothy Harrington and
other prominent leaguers that the in
creased activity of the landlords at this
juncture is in pursuance of a concerted plan
to embarrass the league at a time when it
is believed to be 'straitened for funds by
throwing upon it for support a much
larger nnmber of evicted tenants. The
number to be supported has certainly
increased of late, while the funds, with
the closest economy of administration, have
hardly met the expenditure Should this
continue, it is said, a general election,
which the government at any favorable
moment may precipitate, would iind the
home-rule party disabled in advance of the
encounter.
Quick Transit of Malls.
London, Oct. 22. The remarkably quick
transit of tho mails, which arrived on the
steamer City of New York yesterday. from
Queenstown, to Dublin and London was in
fluenced by tho good record recently made
in transporting mails from Southampton.
Several suggestions have lately been made
that better time could be made from some
other port than Queenstown, and the Irish
railways have at last awakened to their
danger of losing this profitable business
through their inditlerence to the public de
mands for more expeditious service. The
.importance of hurrying the mails through
having dawned upon the railway officials
they have announced their purpose to con
tinue the good work they inaugurated yes
terday, and even further improvements in
the transportation facilities are not with
out the bounds of hopo.
Q 1
Gamblers Start a False Rumor.
London. Oct. 22. The city was startled
to-day by a rumor that the Duke of Devon
shire had died suddenly, and pending veri
fication or refutation of the minor political
and other circles were greatly excited. The
succession of the Marquis of Hartington to
his father's title and seat in the House of.
Lords, with the attendant political proba
bilities, was eagerly discussed, and hun
dreds of auxious inquirers besieged the
Duke's residence in Picadilly. The falsity
of the rumor having been established an
inquiry as to its origin disclosed the fact
that it had been started by book-makers for
the purpose of scratching Lord Harting
ton's horse Marion, which they had backed
heavily. The attempt, however, was not
successful.
Extending the Law of Lese-Majeste.
London, Oct. 22. The prosecution of the
editor of the Gotha Tagblatt, on the charge
of insulting a member of the reigning
house of Coburg-Gotha, arouses consider
able interest in Germany, as Prince Ferdi
nand of Bulgaria, who is alleged to have
boon insulted, is only a cousin of the sov
ereign of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, and if
the law of lese-majeste would apply In his
case it would apply to scores of princes and
princesses throughout Europe, connected
with the Coburg family who are related,
rooro or less, to the reigning houses of Ger
many. England. Russia, and several other
states, and also to the ex-Emperor of Brazil
and the Comte de Paris.
Origin of Recent Slavery Reports.
Berlin, Oct, 22. An explanation of the
origin of the recent report that the German
administration at Bagamayo had issued a
decree authorizing slavery is published
here to-day. It seems that Arabs had sent
a petition to the Germans asking that facil
ities be given for the sale of slaves, on the
ground that otherwise they would be
unable to cultivate their devastated lands.
In some way a copy of the petition became
posted as a proclamation, and upon this
were based 'the false accusations made
against the Germans. The British consul
at Zanzibar, though knowing the persons
responsible for the charges, declined to dis
close their nanies.

says he sacrificed the retiring pension and
an offer of 1.000.000 francs for a lecture tour
in America, lie denies that he applied to
the Duchess d'Uze&lor Baron Mackaufor
money, but he is vague as to the origin of
his resources. He challenges his accusers
to give an account of how they secured
their riches and to show that they have
made such sacrifices as he has made.

Chicago, Oct. 22. M. Casin, of Salvador.

dor is practically supreme," he said. "An
amicable feeling between Salvador and

at one time or the other in both countries,
and have a personal interest in the main
tenance of peace between the two."

Story of a Circumstance Concerning the As
sassin of President Lincoln. ,1
Cincinnati Special
Charles F. Lincoln has been for a long
time janitor of the Twenty-second District
School. He is popularly described as a
"queer duck," though he is weU-liked by
all who know him. He was "born in North
Carolina and has just secured a govern
ment appointment at Washington. During
the war Lincoln, who was a sailor almost
from childhood, was quartermaster on the
tug Saugus. After the fight at Fort Fisher
the Monitor was compelled to start to
Washington for repairs. Things were in
such a critical state, however, that the
boat, with but one sound gun left, steamed
up the James and fought with that gun
until Richmond fell. In Lincoln's own
words his story is told:
"April 14, 1865, there was a great commo
tion in the yard at Washington, where we
were at anchor. In a moment President
Lincoln came on board. I was ordered to
do sometning. When he heard my name
called, he said: Is youx name Lincoln?'
Yes,' said I; 'and is your name Lincoln,
too!'
" It is said he. 'Are you any relation of
mine!' asked the President.
1 don't know,1 1 replied: 4but as every
body calls you uncle, 1 guess you are my
uncle, too.'
"Ho laughed and said: 'I'll see yon again
in a few days
"He and his wife strolled about the ves
sel, and went direct to the theater, where
ne was shot. We heard the news about 10
o'clock. We lay there at the wharf until
toward the last of the mc nth. when one
Bight a closed carriage drove up and Payne,
one of the assassins, came aboard. He ap
peared to . be about nineteen years of age.,
very tall, with dark hair, closely cropped,
and blood all over his clothe
"Next night a steamer came np alongside
us with aobut twenty-five members of the
Second New York Light Cavalry on board.
We prepared to receive their prisoners. The
deck of the steamer was about six inches
higher than the deck of the Monitor, which
was painted the color of the water. The
first prisoner, instead of stepping on our
deck, stepped plump into the water. His
hands were tied behind him and he went
down like a stone. I took a lantern, and,
holding it between the vessels, caught him
by the back of his neck as he came up and
asked, 'What are you doing?' 'That's Her
rold,' said someone. 'Who's Herrold?' I
asked. ls ho the fellow that writes for
the New York Herald?' I didn't know who
Herrold was, and the soldiers laughed at
the combination. Herrold was a handsome,
Blender fellow of nineteen. Next a plank
was placed across the chasm, and Booth's
body was slid across.
T remember well ho w he looked. His
nose was bruised and his hair was pushed
back above bis forehe2d. . His mustache
was heavy and very black, and there was a
three days' growth of beard on his face.
One arm was naked, and his left leg was
wrapped in heavy brown paper.' His cloth
ing was carefully searched for money and
papers. Even the paper was taken off his
leg, which had turned black. He had on
one boot and one shoe. The shoe was loft
lying on the deck, and some days later sold
for 5. We held the lanterns, and the doc
tor cut off his head to trace the bullet
through his neck. Tho body was next cut
open lengthwise. Tho organs were all re
moved and examined, and all put back ex
cept the heart, which was of abnormal
size. The heart is on exhibition' at Wash
ington now. The body with the head was
wrapped in a blanket and sent away in a
boat That was tho last I saw of it The
sailors who took it ashore told me they
landed it at the old penitentiary, but did
not seo what was done with it'1

Nevertheless it ia to be regretted that
any bection of the-Union is solid, or rather
that there is any necessity that it should

There are in tho country many persons
who "practice medicine'' on our dumb ani
mals in a way that if it were applied to the
human family would soon bo stopped by
rigid laws. A great many who donot know
enough or do not care to take the responsi
bility of doctoring humanity drop into the
ranks of yeterinaries. and tho results of
their carelessness and ipnorance are seen
wherever thev locate, And this is likely
one reason why so many hesitate to patron
ize veterinary practitioners. The amount
of damage that has been and is being dono
by incompetent men of this profession is
enormous, and strict laws should be en
forced in every State to keep ouacks and
ignorant men from "practicing" on valu
able stock. There are, however, many in
telligent and competent veterinarians, and
the skill of such should be more generally
taken advantage of than is the case at
present. A good veterinarian is a useful
man, but any other kind is a double injury
to his patrons and to the profession.

curious conclusion by coniimng them

the duty is retained by the bill, and en
tirely ignoring the 1S3 reductions and the
forty new classes put on the free list By
the same method of calculation, if the duty
were removed from every article but one,
and that remained at C5 per cent... the
Democrats could still figure out increased
taxation.
