with Harris—lleliate on Homs Rule for Irelnml
lu the House of Commons—Suntulerson Defend*
the Landlord*.
London, August 25.—The debate on the
address in reply to the queen’s speech was
continued this evening. Sir Thomas Es-
monde, home ruler, dwelt upon the hard
ships of Irish farmers. Their produce, he
said, was unsaleable, and it was therefore
a cruel barbarity for the landlords to exact
rents. Jit was a sound, economical doctrine
that when profits from land diminished all
concerned should bear the loss, not the
farmer alone.
William Redmond (nationalist) said it
was useless to discuss the land settlement.
The question was whether the landlords
would be allowed to evict tenants for not
g aying impossible rents? Whether the
nglish would allow the Irish to be cast
into the roadside during the coming win
ter? If the result was bloodshed, misery
and outrages, the responsibility would rest
with the government, whose only panacea
was the appointment of a royal commis
sion.
Balfour, secretary for Scotland, accused
Parnell of trying to make government im
possible bv promoting general Anti-nent
strikes. The Parnellites, he said, did not
wish a settlement between landlords and
tenants, but wished to keep open the
agrarian sore.
Mr. Stewart, on behalf of the democrats
of England, demanded the eviction, and
said that the democracy would not tole
rate coercion. Ireland must be autonom
ous.
Major Saunderson, conservative, said he
would speak as a landlord to refute the
Parnellite charge that Irish landlords, or
bloodsuckers, as they were pleased to call
the landlords [cheers], were afraid to
make their voices heard in the house of
commons. He (Saunderson; accepted the
challenge. [Conseevative cheers.] Irish
landlords, he said, were not afraid to ac
cept the Parnellite challenge
on this or any other point.
(Conservative cheers and Parnellite
laughter.] Major Saunderson quoted an
extract from a speech made in October.
1880, by Matthew Harris, member for Bust
Gaitvay, in which the latter said that If the
farmers shot landlords like partridges he
would not blame them.
At tills point Harris rose in the house in
obedience to a summon, and immediately
asked Saunderson to repeat the quotation.
Saunderson replied, ‘With the greatest
pleasure,” and again read the extract from
Harris’ speech.
Harris —“Will Major Saunderson rend
what I said leading up to the extract?”
Sanderson—This is the only portion of
the speech worth reporting. [Conserva
tive laughter and loud Paruell cries of or
der.]
After an excited discussion the speaker
allowed Harris to make an explanation.
Harris commenced a discussive statement
to the effect that in 1844 lie went into riband
lodges in Westmeath and elsewhere in an
endeavor to put down agrarian crime.
The speaker interposed, saying thut
Harris, by the indulgence of the house,
was allowed to make a personal explana
tion, bnt not to make an argumentive
speech. [Cheers.]
Saunderson, resuming, said Harris does
not deny the accuracy of the extract.
Harris, excitedly—“I do. Read the con
text.”
Saunderson—“Harris has informed the
house of an interesting fact that I was un
aware of before—namely : That he be
longs to the ribbon order.” [Conservative
laughter and Parnellite sneers.]
Harris excitedly arose and made a re
mark that was inaudible, owing to the
cries of the Parnellites.
Dillon rose to a point of order. He asked
whether one member was entitled to ac
cuse another of belonging to the ribbon
order? [Parnellite cheers.]
Speaker—It is a statement, the truth of
which Harris lias admitted. The house
must judge.
Dillon denied that Harris had admitted
anything of the kind. [Shouts ol order
and Parnellite cheers.]
Speaker—The honorable members have
heard the statement. Doubtless, Major
Saunderson will accept a denial.
Harris—I repudiate it as an infnmious
falsehood. [Cries of order. ]
Speaker—Harris will withdraw that ex
pression unreservedly.
Harris obeyed, but further bickering en
sued. The speaker, rebiiking disorderly
members, said lie hoped personal allusions
would cease. [Cheers.] *
Saunderson, resuming* his speech, said
that Parnell lias formulated a new canon—
“Thou shall ask no rent.’’ All classes and
trades in Ireland were in a more or less
depressed condition except the professional
Irish politician. [Laughter. That occupa
tion was never in a more nourishing
condition. The Parnellites were trying
to exterminate landlords by terrorism. He
instanced cases at Gweedore where tenants
paid each other as much as one hundred
men, aud among all that number, in all
these years, I chiulenge Powderly to find
a man who can truthfully say
that I, as a socialist or anarchist,
have advocated or countenanced
‘the destruction of life and property.’ Who
ever says so lies. * * * * * *
We have declared that the existing social
order is founded on force and maintained
by force, aud we have and do still predict
a social revolt of the working people
against this force system, that wage work
ers will be driven unconsciously into open
rebellion against class rule and class
domination. The result will flow f.om
cause to effect, and not from
anything that Powderly, myself or anyone
else may say or do. The more general
and intelligent diffusion of this truth, the
less violent and destructive will be the
period of transition. This is anarchy. Its
teachings which mean an end forever to
brute force. The reign of eternal peace
prosperity. For snying these things, my
self and comrades now are in prison
awaiting the pleasure of our executioners.
I think it befits Powderly,
in the name of labor, to join in the cry for
our blood,and whether we live or whether
we die, social revolution is Inevitable.
“The speech of James G. Blaine at
Lebago, Maine, yesterday is the real open
ing of the national presidential campaign
in 1888. He rends the signs of the times
and foretells the coming question, 'the
labor problem,’ but I opine that he reckons
without his host when he endeavors
to outline the protective tariff
question as the coming issue. That racket
won’t work any longer. It is played out.
The liberty of labor is a worthiess thing
when it consists of a more choice between
being fleeced by a prefect ionist or free
trade exploiters. Our present statesmen
will have to try again or else other issues
and other men will lend the labor hosts in

THE TEXAS STORM.
riu* People of Ylotorln Issue mi Appou! for Aid.
Victoria, Texas, August 25.—The citi
zens of this place held a meeting last
evening in the court house for the purpose
of devising measures for the relief of the
sufferers by the recent storm, the'devas-
tation being so widespread that impend
ing suffering is beyond local aid. A relief
committee was appointed which issued
the following • address, requesting that it
be sent out for publication in the news
papers of t he union:
“To the Charitably InclinedJPeople of
America: Last Friday this section was
devastated by the heaviest wind storm
ever known on this coast, and many of
our citizens are without food and shelter.
Not alone were the accumulations of
years in many instances swept out. of ex
istence by the fierce hurricane, but
g rowing crops were destroyed in the
elds. But few of our citizens escaped
the general calamity and many are irre
trievably ruined; but we are threatened
bv more danger—gaunt famine follows
close upon the whirlwind’s track. Men and
women, and innocent children, suffer
for food and clothing. The poople of
Victoria county, themselves heavy suffer
ers, are doing all and will continue to do
everything m their power to relieve the
distressed and give them temporary assist
ance until they can arrange fora new start
in life. But the fast multiplying demands
of their destitution are exhausting our re
sources. Unless help can be obtained from
the charitably-inclined throughout the
United States our best efforts must fall
largely short of the existing necessity. We,
therefore, with all confidence in the just
ness of our undertaking, feeling sure that
the great heart of the American people
throbs in sympathy with the distressed of
every nation and every color, issue this,
our appeal for help.
“Food and clothing are imperatively
needed. Without them the growing pangs
of hunger will he succeeded by sickness
and death. Out of your plenty, unswept
by storm, and secure from the gulf’s mad
waves, send us a moiety, he it ever so little.
If is only for those who are helpless and in
cruel want, both white and black, that we
appeal—not to replace what has been lost,
but to reduce human suffering and check,
as we may be able, the torrent of human
woe now surrounding so many of our un
happy homes.

been overthrown. M. Clement, M. Groueff
and M. Zankoff, three of its members, have
been arrested and thrown into prison, and
the old ministry reinstated. The decep
tion practiced upon them by the cireuliv
tion of a report that Prince Alexander vol
untarily abdicated has exasperated the
troops and civilians alike, and a revolution
of popular feeling in favor of the deposed
ruler is as general us intense. A deputa

assure him of the loyalty of the Bulgarian
people and army and to endeavor to per
suade him to return.

ed of the average republican. In respect
to the fisheries it was too soon to criticise
him till the foil correspondence was pub
lished and the negotiations were further
advanced. But in tne Cutting case,through
incorrect reports, he had been led into an
untenable position, and it was no treason
to say so piiblicly.
SOME VIOOHIOUS SELF-DEFENCE.
Mr. Foster said of himself that it was
well known at the state department that
lie was the counsel of the Mexican govern
ment in certain matters growing out of the
lute claims commission and on other ques
tions involving American law. But in the
Cutting ease and on ail questions of inter
nal law Mexico had no need of the services
of any American lawyer or diplomatist.
Hence lie had no occasion to expose him
self to the penalties of the statute cited by
certain newspaper correspondents, and
they need give themselves no con
cern on that score. lie
claimed that an American citizen
might differ from the secretary of Htate
without being unpatriotic, aud he did not
believe Mr. Bayard had given expression
to the utterances attributed to him. He
further asserted his conviction that the
American people would never again allow
the government to precipitate themanto
another unjust and unholy war against
Mexico, ns General Grant termed the last
one. When we u second time array our
selves against our weaker sister republic it
will be when we have “our quarreljust,"
nnd not for such an unimportant affuir as
the Cutting cuso.

against William Acliilus, Alexander Polo-

waiters charged with making a sale of
liquor in opposition to the
peace and dignity of the state, l’olobowls-
ky nnd Myers were each found guilty
by Judge Nathan B. Lewis as charged in
the warrants, and each were sentenced to

cases against William H. Billinpton and
Herbert Ij. Barker, bartenders in L. A.
Brlgg’s restaurant, who were also charged
with illegal sales, each was found guilty
and sentenced to pay the same fine and to

Casino waiters. Billington was also found
guilty of keeping liquor for sale, aud was
sentenced to pay tlie Bame fine and to the
same imprisonment as in the other casus.
