AN APPEAL TO PATRIOTS.
a NON-PARTISAN JACKSONIAN
CLUB ORGANIZED.
Prominent Men of Both Parties in
Every State on Ita List of Officers—
The First Annual Meeting- to be Held
at Nashville Next Month.
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 19.—The
National Jackson Club, which was organ
ized here yesterday, has issued the follow
ing address:
The perpetuity of republican free government
rests in the patriotism of the people. In pro
portion as patriotism degenerates, or is alloyed
with a mercenary desire, does the danger of
dissolution increase. Forces that created our
government and developed it into
self-sustaining strength, were evolved
under conditions of oppression and
tyranny from patriotism unadulterated with
selfish motives and without the slightest pur
pose of personal aggrandizement on the part of
the patriots who founded, sustained and pro
jected it upon its career. Unhappily, evidences
of decay are beginning to be manifest, which,
unless speedily arrested, may result dis
astrously. Whereas, heretofore, men sought to
serve their country for the love of country, now
they seek first their own gain, and patriotic in
stinct is lost in the pellmell scramble for place
and the emolument of political parties.
BOODLE THEIR GOD.
All of them make "spoils” their first object,
and it is gradually being instilled into the pub
lic mind that the proper reward of the govern
ment for service and devotion of its sons is
sordid lucre rather than the blessing of free
dom and the protection it was created to be
stow upon them. When the time comes that it
is altogether true that dollars are fit and
acceptable compensation to men who do battle
for their country, then has our government
lapsed into a condition that renders it no longer
worth perpetuating. Indeed, It will be incapa
ble of lasting perpetuation. Having lost the
sustaining principle, inevitable disintegration
begins, patriotism is swallowed up in mercenary
greed, and free goverment will fall a victim to
the hastening ills that end in anarchy and dis
ruption.
COMING OF THE CLOUD.
The cloud is now no larger than a man's hand,
but it heralds the storm and is eloquent of warn
ing. The situation appeals beseechingly to the
patriotic sons of Columbia to come to the rescue.
How may the danger be arrested? A man lived
who by iron will and executive power hurled
back the first great danger that menaced our
country. His name, a synonym of undaunted
patriotism, represents H code of patriotic prin
ciples.
OBJECT OF THE CLUB.
To draw the nation back to contemplation of
the sublime character of Andrew Jackson, to
reinculcate the pure and loyal principles upon
which his great life was predicated; to have all
the people with unanimous voice reiterate the
grand sentiment, "the federal union, it must
and shall be preserved;” to reawaken that rev
erential devotion to the federal constitution
with which he was imbued; to give opportunity
again for patriots to pledge tneir fives, their
fortunes and their sacred honor to
the maintenance of the principles enunci
ated in that sacred instrument; to
teach the great thought that to
our country we owe our lives, our fortunes and
our sacred honor, if need be, in her defense,
without other reward than that vouchsafed by
her protecting hand, a number of gentlemen
from different states and territories have organ
ized the National Jackson Club, strictly and
absolutely non-partisan in its nature, and to
have for its purpose only the eucouragement
and promotion of patriotic principles.
The first annual meeting of the club is called
to assemble in the city of Nashville, Jan. 8, 3890,
under the shadow of Jackson’s tomb on the
(lay he made memorable; and to this meeting
all the people of our great country are invited,
and particularly those who recognize the truths
here briefly asserted, and are ready to give aid
to a movement that has for its purpose the
purification of politics and the preservation of
liberty. By order of the executive board,
Laps D. McCorp, Secretary.

R ln , m > just prior to the late election,
and in violation of the civil service law, a

RISING RISERS.
>—
Many Pennsylvania and New York
Towns Flooded.
New York, Nor. 19j-Reports received
from this state and Penmylvania show that
it has been raining continuously for three
days, that the rivers and streams are high
and that considerable damage has been
done to property, thoufh fortunately the
loss of life is small.
Houses in the lower part of Elmira are
flooded. One man there has been drowned.
A TRAIN WRICKED.
A train on the Tioga railroad was
wrecked, but all the men escaped unhurt,
except the engineer, whose leg was broken.
There are a number of washouts, many
bridges gone, and through travel over the
Erie, Lehigh Valley and Northern Central
roads is blocked.
Canisto and Homellsville, N. Y., are two
or three feet under water in the lower parts
of the towns.
THE FLOOD IN PENNSYLVANIA.
The same story comes from Northern
Pennsylvania The Juniata and its tribu
taries are very high, but it is thought the
waters will subside without much damage.
In the vicinity of Bellefonte all the
streams are raging torrents, and a number
of bridges have been was Dei away.
At \Y illiamsport the Susquehanna river
will probably reach eighteen feet, and it iB
feared that the main street toll bridge will
go. This region was devastated Dy floods
at the time of the Johnstown horror.
BRIDGES GONE.
A number of bridges over the Northern
Central and Reading roads are gone.
Lewisburg, Laurelton, Milton and other
places along the Susquehanna and its
tributaries reported very high and rising
waters, which have made railroad traffic
impossible and done more or less damage.
At Lawrenceville, Westfield, Waverly
and Corning railroad tracks and part of the
towns are submerged.
STREET CABS TIED UP.
Deacon Richardson’s Conductors and
Drivers Go on Strike Again.
New York, Nov. 19. —“Deacon” Richard
son is once more having trouble with his
street railroad employes. All the conduct
ors and drivers on his four roads in Brook
lyn went out on strike this morning.
Great dissatisfaction has been mani
fested among the employes for
some time past. Such numerous
restrictions have been put upon them in tbo
performance of their duties that working
for the deacon has been so arduous and pre
cise in its performance as to cause the men
a day of unendurable torture in the per
formance of it. These grievances have
been very galling and aggravating to the
men in the extreme.
UNEXPLAINED DISCHARGES.
Discharges have been made without any
apparent reason. On application to the
office why they should be discharged the
men have received the invariable answer:
“Your services are no longer required.’’ In
the latter part of last week, eight men were
discharged, and the strikers state
that the only reason was that
they were Knights of Labor. Yes
terday the employes demanded the
reinstatement of these eight men, and no
tified Mr. Richardson that unless their re
quest was complied with his roads would be
tied up this morning. The discharged men
were not reinstated, so the drivers and con
ductors quit work. No disturbances have
as yet been reported.

ment promises to use all means in its power to
guarantee tbe security of life and property to
all the inhabitants of Brazil, native and foreign,
and respect for individual political opinions,
excepting exigent modifications necessary for
the good of the country. The army and navy,
the ordinary functions of the department of
justice, and the civil and military administra

my family for Europe to-morrow, leaving

tegration of the Brazilian territory, and he

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FEAST
Ex-President Cleveland Responds to
One of the Toasts.
New York, Nov. 19. —The chamber of
commerce gave its annual banquet at Del
monico’s to-night. The president of the ex
change bad on his right ex-Presidont Cleve
land, and on his left Secretary Noble.
Others present were Justice Miller,
Gen. Sherman, Chauncey M. Depew, Con
gressman McKinley, Carl Sehurz, Gen. O.
O. Howard, Hon. Edward J. Phelps,
Senator Hiscock, Roswell P. Flower,
Horace Porter and Henry Villard.
President Smith, who was the first
speaker, said an international exposition in
the United States in 1892 is an economic
necessity. Intelligent foreigners regarded
the United States as a country producing
raw materials rather than manufactured
articles.- They should be taught that we
manufacture silks, carpets and other fine
fabrics. New York was the place for this
exposition.
The first toast, “The President of the
United States,” was drunk in Bilonce.
A SPEECH FROM CLEVELAND.
The second toast, "Our honorary momj
bers,” was responded to by ex-President
Cleveland, who said that the business of the
country was its lifeblood. Those who
understood its lawß and their operation
were better able to perforin tneir duties as
citizens than they otherwise could. Good
government was best measured by business
tests. Hence the greater number of busi
ness men who are engaged in administering
the nffairs of state, the greater will be the
efficiency of the government. There should
be more business men in our national ad
ministrations.
GOOD MATERIAL GOING TO WASTE.
Mr. Cleveland stated that there was an
abundance of good material available which
is now going to waste. Many of the evils
of public life would, in his opinion, speedily
disappear if business men would take greater
iutorestin publio affairs. Mr. Cleveland
said that there had been a great deal of
discussion lately over the question, “ W hat
shall we do with our ex-Presi
dents?” He hoped that the country
would not take the advice of an Illinois
editor, who recommended that they should
be shot Ho suggested that the best way of
disposing of them was to let them alone,
and give them a chance to earn their daily
bread in peace.
COMMERCE THE ALLY OF GOOD GOVERN
MENT.
Edward J. Phelps, ox-ministor to Eng
land, responded to the toast, “Commorce,
the all)' of good government, the offspring
of national prosperity. ” His salient idea
was that business men should take more
interest in politics, and see to it that good
men held all the places of public trust.
Better a hundred times, said ho, an honest
and capable administration of erroneous
policy than a corrupt and incapable ad
ministration of a good one.
SEPARATION OF THE POWERS.
Justice Miller, speaking to the toast, “The
judiciary," said that the separation of the
powers of government is not as perfect as
it might be made. The Senate partakes of
the function of the executive by the re
quirement of its assent to his appointments
to office. It intrenches upon the judicial
function by being by the constitution the
body to try impeachments of officers of the
government.
The toast “The Mississippi, its relations
to ooean commerce," was responded to by
Secretary Noble, who made an earnest
speech in favor of the development of that
great river as a commercial highway.

explained that the internal needs of the
army required the adoption of the measure,
which, he said, was entirely unconnected
with the new French army law. This modi
fication of the army, he declared, might be

COUGHLIN AT THE POUCH STA
TION ON THE FATAL NIGHT.
The First Witness of the Day a Police
man—The Cross-Examination Mud
dles Him Up—A Claim that O’Sullivan
Went to Bed Early on the Night of
the Murder.
Chicago, Nov. 19.—The first witness in
the Cronin trial to-day was Policeman Red
mond McDonald. He testified that he saw
Dan Coughlin at the Blast Chicago avenue
station between 8:45 and 9 o’clock on the
night of the murder. On the cross-exami
nation the witness fixed the time as 9 to
9:15 o’clock. On the cross-examination tho
fact was also developed that the witness
was a member of Camp 20, Clau-na-Gael.
On cross-examination the witness was
asked: “When did you first learn that Dan
Coughlin’s name was connected with the
horse that drove Dr. Cronin away?”
“I think about a week after, when they
first got to writing it in the newspapers.”
driven into a corner.
“Now, in what papor did you read about
Coughlin being connected with the horse
and buggy i"
“I do not know."
“Was that before tho body was found!”
“Yes, sir.”
“Now, do you not remember that it is a
faot that Coughliu’s name was never con
nected with that in any manner whatever
in tho public press until May 25, three duvs
after the discovery of Dr. Cronin’s body !"
[Sensation.]
Hesitatingly—“lt was written in tho
papers about him in connection with a rig
from Diuan.”
O’SULLIVAN AND THE RENTERS.
William Mulcahey was the next witness.
He testified that ho had known O’Sullivan
since April 4. He was not a member of tbe
Olan-na-Gael. Tho witness testified that he
had heard the conversation between old
man Carlson and O’Sullivan abuut
the tenants of the Carlson cot
tage. The old man testified that
O’Sullivan said he knew them and that they
wore all right. Tliis witness testified that
O’Sullivan said ho knew none of them.
On cross-examination tho witness said
O’Sullivan was uot out of tho house after
supper and ho went to bed about 9 o’clock.
The men who were out came in at 10
o’clock or 10:30 o’clock.
REFUSED TO CONTRADICT HIMSELF.
The state’s attorney endeavored to elicit
from the witness a statement that in his
evidence before the coroner’s jury he had
stated that ho did not hoar tho conversation
between O’Sullivan and the elder Carlson,
but the witness persisted that he never to
testified. Then tho cross-examination took
a somewhat sensational turn, tho evident
inteution being to direct suspicion toward
the witness as the man who drove the white
horse which drow Dr. Crouiu to his death.
The witness, however, douiod that ho had
ever worn a Iteard similar to that of the
man who was identified as having driven
the buggy.
O’SULLIVAN’S COUSIN ON THE STAND.
Thomas Whalen, a cousin of Patrick
O’Sullivan, was the next witness. O’Sulli
van lived at his house. He testified that
O’Sullivan, at about 8:45 o’clock Saturday,
May 5, went to bed.
“Was there anything to call your atten
tion to that!” asked tbe lawyer.
“My little girl hallooed at him. Bhe was
in tho rocking chair, and he started back
and came back and kissed my little girl. I
went to bed about half an hour after O’Sul
livan." 'ihe witness was then subjected to
a long cross-oxarnination.
William Glenn, a reporter for the Inter-
Ocean, testified that one week after tho
murder Mrs. Conklin told him that the
white horse brought to her door from
IJinan’s livery stable in no way rosemblod
the horse behind which Dr. Cronin rode on
the fatal night.
TWO TRICKY REPORTERS.
Edward Jones, a reporter on the Daily
News, testified that he went to the Carlson
cottage several days after the discovery of
Dr. Cronin’s body. He went in company
with another reporter. The story had been
told that morning, in a vague way, about
the Carlson cottage, and, as a joke, on tho
way there, they got some cotton batting
and a piece of liver, the blood from
which thoy smeared upon the cot
ton. They went into the cellar and
put some of the blood-stained batting
in the cmnks in the ceiling, and somo in tho
rat holes in the floor. Tho witness denied
that he had put it there to furnish material
for a sensation in his pa|ier. On the cross
examination, the witness said neither he
nor the other reporter put any of their
blood-stained batting in the cottage up
stairs.
THE MAN WHO MADE THE TRUNK.
Jaoob Schnurr, a trunk maker, testified
that the trunk which is supposed to have
contained Dr. Cronin’s body was made in
his factory. It was, he said, a common
kind of trunk, which has been on the mar
ket for years, and is sold to dealers indis
criminately. The lock was of the kind
which he was in the habit of buying by tho
100 dozen. It had been on the market eight
or nine vears at the least.
Patrick Brennan, an employe of O’Sul
livan, elaborated further the iceman’s de
fense. On cross-examination the fact was
brought out that the lawyers for the
defense got a lot of their witnesses together
at O’Sullivan’s house last Sunday, and wont
over their testimony in tbo presence of the
entire company. Tne oourt then adjourned
until to-morrow.
Mrs. Conklin this afternoon saw Witness
Mulcahey, but failed to identify him as the
man who drove the white horse.

REBD STILL HAS THB LEAD,
McKinley a Good Second and tho
Uthera Strung out Behind. -
Washington, Nov. 19.—Very few repub
lican members elect were added to-day to the
two dozen already here, aud so there was no
material change in the speakership situa
tion. All the live headquarters were opon
within two or three blocks of each other,
but the candidates and their friends aud
workers made up most of the congressional
material in town, and so thero was very
little stuff upon which to make now Im
pressions. The five men from tho new
states who want pledges of committee
E laces and are holding off for the highest
idder were the chief objocts of solicitude!
MCKINLEY’S CHANCES GOOD.
Mr. McKinley is still most likely to get
there. With the seventeen from tho south,
which he is likely to have, he has a better
stand ill the race than is generally thought.
It is not thought that he will get more than
Mr. Kelley’s vote in the Pennsylvania del
egation, although Messrs. Horner, Hcull and
Osborne, as bis tiersoual friends are set
down for Mr. McKinley. Mr. Reed has tho
lead, Mr. McKinley comes next, and then
Messrs. Cannon, Burrows and Henderson.
Unless tho western men can wear Mr. Reed
out, Mr. Reed is still most likely to be nomi
nated. If they make a combination which
will hold against him the fight will be a
bitter one. Ho far there Is no bitterness,
although Mr. Reed thinks tbe republicans
ungrateful.

FRANCE'S PARLIAMENT.
FLOQUET AND TIRARD ADDRESS
THB DEPUTIES.
The Chamber’s New President Ap
peals to All the Forces of Dsmoe*
racy to Rally Around the Repub
licans—Tlrard Gives the Boulangtats
a Hint that Further Demonstrations
Will be Sternly Met.
Paris, Nov. 19.—M. Floquet, president
of the Chamber of Deputies, delivered an
address to the chamber to-day. He declared
he would endeavor to sink all personal pre
dilections, and assured the members of the
chamber liberty of the tribune. All France,
he said, had manifested a desire that con
cord should prevail among her repreeenta
tives, and he therefore appealed to all the
forces of democracy to rally around the
republican*.
TRIUMPH OF UNIVERSAL SUFFRAO*.
M. Tirard said:
Universal suffrage has finally been crowned
with triumph, the democracy, by the recent
elections. Inviting all Frenchmen to unite under
the banner which the republic has raised above
parties and which, from this day forward, is
above attack. France has spoken. Bhe has not
only signified that she intends to maintain and
develop the institutions which she has founded,
but she lias resolved that the republio shall
mean stable government, securing order, prog
ress, and respect at home and abroad.
A BINT TO BOnLANOS*.
Taught by recent experience, we think that
such a government must not show weakness
nor remain disarmed in struggling with those
who refuse to bow to the will of the majority
so often declared. The elections have mani
fested above all else France’s resolve to enter
upon a definitive era of calm and labor. We
therefore propose to put aside questions Irri
tating and dividing men’s minds and to direct
our whole attention to the solution of problems
of economy and social justice.
REFORMS PROMISED.
Continuing, ho promised reforms that
would render tho admistratlon of justice
choaper. Tho budget for 1891, be said,
would show real aud solid equilibrium;
publio works, harbors, canals aud railways
would be expedited, and there
would bo reforms in land aud liquor
taxation. Referring to the treaties
of commerce expiring In 1892 be
said that the economic regime of France
would necessarily occupy aa important
place In tho labors of tbe House, and that
olmmliors of commerce and arts and agri
cultural associations would soon be con
sulted and invited to guide the government
In the difficult task of dociding tbe tariffs.
PEACEFUL SENTIMENTS OF THE COUNTRY.
In concluding he said:
In submitting these questions to your de
liberation, we furnish fresh proofs or the un
changing sentiments animating republican
France. After the exposition no one in the
world tins a right to entertain suspicion
as to tbe peaceful sentiments of our country.
W'liile laboring to complete our military organ
ization wo loudly affirm that our sole desire la
an honorable and dignified iieace befitting a
great nation that is confident of its strength
and rights. Let us then labor together to com
plete tlie organization of the democracy. You
have the right to demand of us persevering
firmness. We noed your confidence. In com
municating to you our plans, we ask co-opera
tion in the name of tbe republio.
A RADICAL VOTED DOWN.
M. Man jan, a radical, moved that urgency
bo granted for consideration of the ques
tion of revision of the constitution.
M. Tirard appealed to the chamber to set
aside all such questions, which, he said,
created divisions among republicans.
M. Manjan’s motion was then rejected by
a vote of 345 to 123. The announcement ot
this victorv for the government was re
ceived with cheers.
The papal nuncio here has been instructed
by tho Vatican to favor the adhesion of
Catholics to the conservative republican
party.
BBRIOUB ACCIDENT TO LOTTA

on Her Head.
Boston, Nov. 17. Lotta, the actress, met
with a serious accident on Beacon street
on Thursday evening. She and her
mother had stepped into their car
riage, when tho horses turned and
started down Beacon street. By the
purest accident Miss Lotta discovered that
the driver was not on his box and the

and severe bruises on the left leg and foot.

caught the horses and rescued her. During
the fow minutes which the mother and

other might have been killed. After the
accident Miss Lotta was taken to the

her apartments for a week or two. This is
tbe second accident Miss Lotta haa expe
rienced within six months.
