X3JS NEW TARIFF A FRUITFUL
THEME OF DIBCUBBION.
Austrian Newspapers Filled With An
gry Articles— Spain Movlnsr Toward
Reciprocity— The New Cuban Tariff
w tie Suspended— Great Destitution
Among Mother of Pearl Workers In
Austria.
Losdos. Oct s.— The Daily News says:
‘•European expectation of a revolt among
American farmers against the artificial
dearness caused by the tariff has never
been realized. It is always threatened, but
always postponed. The idea that the new
American tariff is a blow at Canadian in
dependence is as absurd as the talk of the
excited people here who hysterically declare
tbst it is an attack upon England. A few
signs yet exist that Americans are awaken
ing to ti e unwisdom of high tariff.”
NEWSPAPERS FULL OF ANGRY ARTICLES.
Vienna, Oct. 5. —Austrian newspapers
are full of angry articles on the new Ameri
can tariff. The government is trying to
allay excitement over the measure. The
minister of commerce, addressing a depu
tati u, frankly declared that he was unable
to exercise pressure in Washington, because
American imports into Austria were so
small, but he promised to try to induce
President Harrison to grant facilities for
the mother of pearl industry.
SrAIN INCLINED TO RECIPROCITY.
Madrid, Oct. 5.—A rumor is current
here that the Spanish government intends
to outer into negotiations with the United
States government for reciprocal conces
sions touching Cuban and American
products. It is also reported that the
government has instructed its agents abroad
to notify the home authorities of any meas
ure that may be taken by foreign govern
ments with respect to the new United States
tariff law.
CUBAN TARIFF TO BE SUSPENDED.
Madrid, Oct. 5. —The oabinet yesterday
discussed the United States tariff law and
decided to suspend the application of the
new Cuban tariff until a satisfactory reply
has been received from America to repre
sentations which the Spanish minister has
eea instructed to make to the United
States government

quent developments showed that theso ama
teur bandits had made a water haul, as the

Amkricub, Ga., Oct. 5. —Congressman
Chnrles F. Crisp, a democratic leader and
the probable speaker of the next House of
the national congress, Is at home now, spend
ing a few days quietly with his family. He
hopes to be able to return to congress much
luvigorated in December.
A number of friends called upon the dis
tinguished 's >uthern statesman yesterday.
He is in good spirits, and said he felt better
than he had in a long while. Tho change
has proven beneficial to him already. Hi*
illness In Washington was due to overwork.
He has workod very hard the entire session,
aud a rest of a few weeks will do him an
immense amount ot good.
Weduesdav was the first timo that he
ventured out since his retu ru. Ho went
down to the polls early in the forenoon to
vote. Ho was stopped all along down
town by friends who hadn't seen him be
fore since his return, and he didn’t get
hack home nntil after the dinner hour.
TO GO OVER HIS DISTRICT.
Judge Crisp hopes to bo able in a few
days more to begin canvassing his district
Ho hopos to meet his constitu
ents in every county before liis
return to W ashlngton in December.
He will impress upon them the impnrlance
of voting. He deprecated tho fact that in
the olf year elections, such a light
vote is polled in Georgia. “Our
people,” said the judge, "do not
vote as they should' aud the northern
people do not understand it. They do not see
how a congressman in a district of 40,000
voters should be elected, laving received
leas than 10,000 votes. The republicans
charge at once that wo practice fraud and
intimation.” He said that at the last elec
tion he got onlv 9,254 votes and his oppo
nent 3,130. His district has 40,000 odd
voters. “My tour therefore,” be added,
"will be to stir our people up upon what
they should do.”
RESULT OF THE SMALL VOTE.
Republicans, Judge Crisp said, make
capital out of the small vote polled in many
southern states. Thoy charge outrageous
suppressions upon the part of the demo
crats, aud they refuse to believe otherwise,
as long os the present condition of affairs
exist.
In almost any dlstriot in any state north,
the great majority of the votes, are polled,
whore as down here, we make a few thou
sand votes answer the same purpose. The
southern congressman lias just as
much to say and as much to
do in governmental affairs elected this
wav, as tne northern member coming from
a district where the heaviest possible vote
is cast. These are tilings they do not un
derstand. the judge ret eatod. “Of course,”
said he, “we u inters tad readily what onuses
the light vote here, but no amount of rea
soning ar.d explaining will change their
minds. Our people will have to vote more,
if they wish to disprove and silence these
false accusations.’’
Referring to the work of oongress, Judge
Crisp said that whatever was accomplished
for democracy came through fire. “It has
been a hard session,” he said.
REED PUFFED UP.
"Since the speaker’s return from Maine,
with his increased majority, which ho takes
as the people’s sanction of his arbitrary
rule, there is no living in the same house
with him. He believes that whatever he
does is right, and he directs legislation to
suit his own mind. No man of his party is
recognized upon the floor who lias not pre
viously informed the speaker how he
stands. Reed usually knows about what
the member will say before that member
speaks."
“How did the speaker get such a hold
upon the republicans!”
“ltoed has been in congress fourteen
years, and as a matter of course has a large
experience. Besides, he is naturally a
forcible man, with a great deal of influence.
He was never an acknowledged leader on
the floor, although he has always been
recognized os an able member, commanding
at all times tbe scrictest attention of his
party. When he became speaker his scope
was enlarged. His opportunity for display
ing leadership was improved.”
LEADER OF THE PARTY.
Judge Crisp said that the speaker is con
sidered the leader of the party. He is sup
posed to direct legislation, and steer bis
party whenever it is in bis power to do so.
Reed, he said, being such an extreme re
publican, looking always for some s 'herne
to overthrow democracy, lias struck the
popular sentiment of his r adioal followers,
and he has ridden supremely on that wave
ever since. Judge Crisp said that Reed is
a man of republican convictions. He sees
nothing but good in bis party. He finds
everything bad in the other party. Again,
he said, Reed has sought to make as great
impression as possible in this congress,
believing slyly that the speaker
ship is a stepping stone to the
presidency, and that Reed is on
the steps. Answering a question, referring
to the debate in the House, the other day.
when Judge Crisp so completely “wooled”
the speaker, the democratic leader said:
“I am not yet willing to be run over and
trampled upon, without a protest If I see
no reason why I should be overridden I
will endeavor to prevent It. That is what
I did the other day.”
Judge Crisp looked as if ho were willing
to protest a little then, if the corpulent
Reed had been in Sumter.
GOOD FOB TUB DEMOCRATS.
I asked hirn if he thought the next House
would be democratic. He replied that be
thought it would. He said the gerrymander
in Ohio would help the democrats. The
gains In Maryland districts and in one or
two other states were significant, and,
coupled with other things, he believed the
democrats would control the next House.
He was asked, in the event that the
democrats get the House, will Georgia get
the spanker' He replied that there would
be probably four or five candidates for the
speakership. Nothing is at all certain how
ever, about what will take place with the
democrats in power, and Judge Crisp is
averse to talking about a matter so ob
scured by the future. He said it is too early
to forecast—” Jan’t count ohickens before
eggs hatch.”
CARLISLE A LOSS TO THE HOUSE.
He sai 1 that the election of Mr. Carlisle
to the Beuate was a severe loss to the
House. The judge regretted that not mors
influential democrats from the nortn were
in the House.
The north, he said, has not given to
democracy in this congress her share of
able men. He said the south in her legisla
tion would have to be aided by democrats
north. Bhe couldn’t alone oo :>bat the
prejudices of the extreme republicans with
nope of s access on many important meas
ures. It is necessary, therefore, he ooafcin
ued, that democracy north and south, in
fact, in all sections, shall be represented
by tbe strongest men. J udgu Crisp paid a
high tribute to ths abilities of Springer, Mi>
Millin, tne Georgia delegation, and to Mr.
Mills. He characterised Mills as a brainy
member and a high and noble exponent of
the party.
He spoke of ths late Samuel J. Randall as
the shaper of the party's legislation.
He rather regarded him as having bean
superior to Mr. Carlisle in this respect.
A GOOD CHIEF JUSTICE.
Carltsle would, in his estimation, have
made a most excellent justice of the su
preme court, aud it was thought that
Cleveland at one timo would appoint him
to the chief justiceship, afterward given
Mr. Fuller.
Carlisle is not passionate. He doesn’t fly
off in the heat of debate. He is a plain,
cold reasouer, logical snd foroeful. He
commands tho attention of both parties
alike.
THE FORCE BILL.
I asked Judgo Crisp if the force bill
would come up again. He said nothing
drttluitff could be said concerning it It may
be revived in the December term, but there
w no degree of certainty about it. If it
comes up, of oourse the war upon it will be
renewed.
Judgo Crisp alluded to Reed’s north
western trip, mentiqn of which ho
snw in the papers, and remarked that if the
speaker became s> much inflated upon his
return ns when he got back from Maine,
tbe House would lie large enough only for
Reed. Tbe judge ask ml about the alliance
movements iu Georgia since he wu last in
the state. Ho expressed an Interest in the
movement of tho farmers, aud sold ho was
f;lud of the opportunity to go uinong them,
ie asked about the senatorial contest, and
said whoever received tho election, should
be a good man. It is Important that our
senate rs should be the strongest men.
Judgo Crisp will be given a public recep
tion hero iu a tow days. Owing to tile rain
ami his indisposition when he arrive.! a few
days ago, no special demonstration was
made.
Ainericus is very proud of him, and she
attests this in every way she can. The
other day when tbe judge dismounted from
the traiu, upon arriving from W’ashlugton,
a great orowd gathered around him and
shook his hand until he was put in a
carriage and driven away. On eleotion .lav
his presence upon the streets was a signal
for enthusiastic cheering. Judge Crisp
may visit Savannah before returning to
oongress. It has been quite a long time
since he was in that section, and he ex
pressed a desire to see his friends there
again. In the event that ho does find timo
to go thero, he will probably bo the guest of
Congressman Lester.

THB HOLY LAND.
What He Saw In Joppa—Camels

Tower of Forty Martyrs—Armed
Attendants Appalling Incendi
arism
Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct S,—Dr. Talmage,
before beginning his second sermon on the
Holy Laird this morning, stated that, as
previously announced, the sermon ab rut to
be delivered would also he delivered in tho
New York Academy of Vfusio In the even
ing. In consequence of the unprecedented
attendance the preoedlng Sundry evening,
when, despite the fact that the Academy of
Music accommodated fully 6,000, persons
uiauy thousands were turned away, the
managers cf tho Christian Herald had
opened negotiations with a view to
securing Madison Square garden for tbe
purpose of the remaining ten Sunday even
ing sermons. Owing to imperative en
gagements for the next three Sundays, the
garden could not be secured earlier than
four weeks bonoe, when the Christian
Herald expects to bo able to give to Dr.
Talmago au opportunity, during the re
maining Sabbath eveuiugs of 1890, to speak
in tho greatest public auditorium in New
York city, to the largest audiences that
ever assembled for divine service. The
•eating capacity of Madison Square garden
is 12,000. The subject this morning was
“My Seoond Day iu Palestine." After the
reading of tho Scriptures ami two hearty
songs of worship by the congregation, the
preacher announced u* bis text: Galatians
1; 18, "I went up to Jerusalem.”
My seoond dav in the Holly Ijind. We
are in Joppa. It is 6 o’clock in the morn
ing, but we must start early, for by night
we are to be In Jerusalem, and that city is
forty-one mile* away. We may take camel,
or horse, or carriage. As to-day will be
our lost opportunity in Palestine for taking
the wheel, we choose that. The horses with
harness tasseled and Jiugling, are hltchod,
snd, with a dragoman in coat of mauy col
ors seatod in front, wo start on a road which
unveils within twol vo hours enough to think
of for all time and ali eternity. Farewell
Mediterranean with suoh a blue as no one
but the dlvino chemist could mix, and such
a Are of morning glow, as only tbe divine
Illuminator oould kindle! Halil mountains
of Kphratm and Jnda whose ramparts of
rock wo shall mount in a few hours, for
modern engineers cau make a road any
where, and without piling Ossa upon
Pelion, these giants can scale the heavens.
We start out of the oity amid barricades
of cactus on either side. Not caoti in boxes
two or three feet high, but cactus higher
than tho top of the carriage—a plant that
has more sword* for defense, oonsidering
the amount of beautv it can exhibit, than
anything created. We pa-so 1 out amid
about four hundred gardens, seven or eight
acres to the garden, from which at tho
right season* are plucked oranges, lomons,
figs, olives, citron and pomegranates, and
which bold up their censers of perfume be
fore tho Ixird in perpetual praise. We
meet groat processions of
CAMBLH LOADED WITH KKGH
oil and with fruit*, and some wealthy
Mohumiuodan with four wives—throe
too many. The camel is a
proud, mysterious, solemn, ancient, un
gainly, majestio and ridiculous shape, stalk
ing out of the past. The driver witli his
whip taps the cam ! on tho for.) leg, and he
kneels to take you as a rider. But when he
rises, hold fast or you will fall off backward
as he puts his fore foot in standing posture,
and then you will fall off in front os his
back legs take their place. But tho inhab
itants are used to his ways, although I find
the riders often dismount snd walk as
though to rest themselves. Better stand
out of tho path of tho camel; he stops for
nothing ami seems not to look down, uud in
the street I saw a child by the stroke of a
camel’s front foot hurled seven or eight feet
along the ground.
Here we meet people with faces, and
arms, and bands tattooed, as lu ail lands
sailorß tattoo their arms with some favorite
ship or admired face. It was to this habit
of tattooing among the Orientals that God
refers in a figure, when he says of hl
church: “I have graven thee on the palms
of my hands.”
Many of these regions aro naturally sandy
but by irrigation they are made fruitful
and, as in this irrigation the brooks and
rivers are turned this way, and that to
water the gardens or farms, so the Bible
says, "The king’s heart Is in the hands of
tbe Lord, and he turneth it as the river* of
water are turned whithersoever he will.”
THE JEWS IN PALESTINE.
As we pass out and on we Hud about
800 ocros belougiug to the Univer
sal Israelitisb Alliance. Monteflore, ths
Isroelttish centenarian and philanthropist,
and Rothschild, the banker, and others of
the large-hearted have paid the passage to
Palestine for many of the Israelites, and set
apart lands for their culture; and it is only
a beginning of the fulfillment of divine
prophecy, when theso people shall taka
possession of the Holy Land. The road
from Joppa to Jerusalem, and all the
roads leading to Nazareth and Gal
ilee we saw lined with processions
of Jews, going to the sacred places,
either ou holy pilgrimage or as settlers.
All the fingers of Providence now-a-davt
are pointing toward that resumption of
Palestine by the Israelites. I do not take
it that the prospered Israelites of other lands
are to go there. They would be foolish to
leave their prosperities in our American
cities, whore they are amoig our best oifci
zous, ami cross two seas to begin life over
again in a strange land. But the outrages
heaped upon them in Russia, and the insults
offered them in Germany, will soon quadru
ple and centuple the procession of Israelites
from Russia to Palestine.
FACILITIES FOR GETTING THERE
will he multiplied, not only in the railroad
from Joppa t > Jerusalem, to which I re
ferred last Sabbath as being built, but per
mission for a road from Damascus to the
bay of Acre has been obtained, and that of
course will toon connect with Joppa, and
make one great ocean-ihore railroad So
the railroad from Jerusalem to Joppa, and
from Joppa to Damascus, will soon bring
all the Holy Laud within a few hours of
connect ion. Jewish colonization societies
in England and Russia are gathering
money for the transportation of
the Israelites to Palestine, and for the pur
chase for them of lands and farming imple
ments, and so
MANY DESIRE TO 00,
that it is decided by lot as to which families
tball go first. They were God’s chosen peo-
Sle at the first, and he has promised to
ring them back to their home, and there
is no power in one tho sand or five thou
sand years to make God forget his promises.
Those who have prospered in other lands
will do well to stay wh- re they are. But
let the Israelites who are depreciated, and
attacked, nnd persecuted, turn their faces
toward the rising sun of their deliverance.
God will gather in that distant land those
of that race who have beeu maltreated,
and he will blast with the lightnings of
his omnipotence those lands on either uda
