BCSTLK OS THE MOORE.
As soon as the La Champagne was sighted,
the reception committee go: on the decs of
the Joan. E. Moore. Mr. O’Brien was the
rirst pa-senger to be distinguished. The
reception’committee cheered t.im and tie
waived fcisbat in response. Then Mr. Sulli
van catne forward to the railing of the ves
sel, a M ail on board the Moore cheered very
profuielv. T e p-.ssengers crowded to the
port side of La Champagne to 9?e what tbe
cheer og is about, until the officers of the
vessel had to Older them back. Gen.
O’Brien of the barge office went on board,
followed by nearly every one else until the
tag boat was deserted. The Irish represent
atives bad a levee on board.
Hr, O'Brien is acco .npanted by hi* wife,

a-e m excellent health, and declared tixu
they enjoyed me ocean voyage. This is Mr.

Mr.J O'Brien, in response to oengratn
latisus upon his escape from tbe British
nutliorities in Ire’and, said Mr. Dillon and
himseil bad been six davs on a yacht before
they reached France. They were joined at
Havre by Mr. and Mra Huliivau and Mr.
Harrington, who sailed with them.
Hr. O'Brien said that out of forty by
-1 elec ions held in Great Britain since the
assembling of the present parliament, four
tea have been won by the Gladetoniaa
or Home Rilo party. This was a fair indi
cation, be eaid, of the feeling of the British
people on the Home Rule question. He be
lieved tuat the tories would be forced to
dissolve parliament soonar than they antici
pated. The government, he said, were not
taking proper measures for toe relief of the
famine-strlciie i di-tricte in Ireland. They
first denied tha famine existed, and now
they admitted that there was dire distress
m the country by proposing measures for
. relief,

On the other hand, the ai Ires * held, if
Secretary Balfour has to face a genera!
election with a confess.ion that the landlord
syndicates, with all their gold, and Dublin,
with all it* bayonets and rerootables, na~e
failed to break the spirit of a couple of
doxen bodies of Irish tenantry, after all
those years of merciless repression, the
coercion policy, a.reiady diaiikei, will be
overwhelmed with ignominy at the polls.
“One of our chief objects.” it says, “in
America will be to explain tbe character of
the struggles in Ireland and the system of
coercion in force there. Fur the present
tbe question of a national fighting fend and
the question of a charitable fund are whosiy
separate. The danger of famine along toe
greater portion of tbe western seaboard it
unquestionably real and horrible. Nobody
with less than Secretary Balfoar’-s canacity
for heartless jokes could hffect to de y or
make light of it. The Irish pa it are
watching toe situation with the ntmose
solicitude.
A DEMAND FOR LEGISLATION.
"They have called for bills suspending
evictions for no i-psyuieat of rent on small
holdings in tha distressed districts. A
measure of this kind, combined with a
large system of public works and a more
liberal administration of the poor laws,
would go far to avert any danger o a gen
eral famine. The opinion of the Irish party
is that any genera! American fund poured
into Ireland at this time would probably
have the effect of confirming Secretary Bal
four in his policy of leaving tbe re
lief of distress to private initiatives
and aiterward boasting that the distre-s
was imaginary, while large sums disbursed
with imperfect knowledge of the circum
stances of the country would inevitably
find its way into the pockets of the land
lords, wnom the prospect of American alms
would encourage to extort rent from their
famine and coercion-wronged tenantry.
“Say to the people of Ireland, and to our
comrades in toe British parliament, the
heart of free America is with them in this
contest Tbe mission you represent
interests not alone men of Irish birth aid
blood, but men of other nationalities, and
the heart of every true Ani?ricao responds
to the appeal for help to break the chains
w hich fetter Ireland.”
The address was signed by Gov. Hill,
Ma_vor Grant, President Patrick Gleason of
the municipal council of the national league,
Eugene Kelly, chairman of the Parlia
mentary Fund Association, and the chief
officers of the Irish societies.
A reception was given Messrs. Dillon and
O’Brien at the Hoffman house to-night.
Messrs. Harrington, Sullivan and Gill were
aiso present The above address was read
by chairman Ryan and several addresses
were made.
Mr. O’Brien told the reporters the story
of tbe escape of M.r. Dillon and bipnself, and
apparently enjoyed tailing it
THE SITUATION IN ENGLAND.
Speaking of the situation in England he
saici the present DarU&ment with one ex
ception was tha oaly one that remained in
office so long.
Messrs. Dillon and O’Brien spoke of tneir
enthusiastic reception in France, and said
that the French public would undoubtedly
helD them financially if appealed to.
Mr. Dillon was asked If he had heard the
statement hare by some Irishmen to tbe
effect that no money would be sent to Ire
land to relieve the distress, but only food
and clothing. He said that would ba fool
ish, for food and clothing could be bought
in Ireland for the money it would take to
transport them from America. They would,
however, oonfer with the Irish committees
here and formulate a plan.
PLANS OF THE VISITORS.
The plans o£ the Irish parliamentary
members are as follows: They will remain
here until Wednesday, and will then go to
Philadelphia. On Thursday they will
address their first meeting in the academy
of muslo there, at which CoL McClure will
preside. Another meeting will be held in the
same place on the night following, at which
Qov. Beaver will be asked to preside. Two
meetings will be addressed in Boston
Sunday, and a meeting in New York will
be held Monday night. Gov. Hill
may probably preside at this meeting. T. P.
O’Connor will arrive h"re on Wednesday in
time for the Philadelphia meetings. A
meet ng will be held in Jersey City Nov. 12
and one in Newark Nov. 14. After this the
delegation will divide into pairs and address
meetings throughout the country.
THE ADDRESS OF WELCOME.
The address of welcome presented to the
visitors expressed the dee post sympathy < f
all true Irish Americans and ail liberal
Americans for the Irish cause. Among
other things It was said: “As messengers of
hope from a struggling people to a
free people, we extend to you
the hand of warm friendship.
We believe in your policy of
home rule for Ireland as advocated by
Messrs. Gladstone and Parnell. We be
lieve it is the only means that will put tin
end to the discord of centuries and c induce
to a reunion between the Eagii-h and Irish
people—a willing union founded on friend
ship and mutual interest, and not a forced
union founded on oppression and hate, in
harmony of spirit and purpoe with the ma
jority of the most intelligent citizens of
Great Britain to-day, marshaled under the
leadership of Mr. Gladstone. We pledge
the cause and people you represent our
practical sympathy aud support.

Columbus, Gl, Nav. 2—The democrats

Fourth district tow yeer. indeed, they sre
not over their scare yet, end tbe fesrs of
many increase wife the approach of the
election.
Walter Johnson, tbe republican candi

his deputy, J. A Bledsoe, who resigned his
position to aid Johnson, is said to have
helped him greatly. Talbot county, whioh
has sometimes gone republican in national
elections, is well orgauii-d, it is said, and
Carroll county, which is close every time,
is thought to be doubtful Mso go©,

industrious deputt bleoooe.
It was reoorted awhile that the industrious
Deputy Birds >e had worked the republicans
in the counties above the mount* its up to
ast eking po.nt. and even in Democratic
Nominee Vos© h me oounty it is said that
the republicans are making b -a-is that they
intend to carry it. All manner of report©
are current as how tbe republicans are

talked cf tbeir aaeeodenoy
The fact that the alliance nominated
Moses causes a feeling of apathy am.' g old
time democrat© in tne to of ns and v:l.ages,
and it is t.ld by the republicans that ton
will make gains, as these old-time demo
crats will not go to toe polls. Ttey say
that they increase their voting power, while
the democrats will decreus© theirs; a condi
tion which is pleasing to them, but terribly
mortifying to tbedemocrats and ali.ance.
' ILAD A GOOD EFFECT.
All these rumors hav© made the most
active worker-* of aliianestnen. They have
stirred their ©tamp© and they have' made
Moses stir hia He has been working like a
Trojan aud they have teen at his oack
pusmng him forward
A few weeks ago th alliance wa© we-v
silent, and Moses was as peaoaabie as a
lamb.
There were dangers larking about those
time*. Tbe democrats migtit bars been de
feated. But that ill wind has blown away.
It is fine, honest weather now. It was toe
day before battle then; the war is waging
in earnest now.
Rugged old tarmors who haven't voted m
many a day, aud whoes interest m p -iitics
lias been dead, are as active now as they
were when they shouldered their muskets in
toe civil war. They have some out to battle
for inches, aud Victory wttl burs* forth upon
them. f-
GAME IS UP WITH THEM.
Bledsoe blasted his hopes when he said he
would defeat tneni, and Johu*on cut bis
own thr*at when he openly defied them.
They might have accomplished taelr pur
p e if tnev had worked ln alienee, but their
threats have served onlv as a tocaiu of war
in the ears of democrats.
There is now no doubt that Mosei will go
iu with a whoop.
The democrats have bad the district since
1872 In 1808 Col. W. P. Edwards of But
ler, rep,, defeated Peter \\\ Alexander,
desn., and tbe next term Col. Burble, rep.,
defeated Maj. Raphiol M -ses, ilem. This
was during toe Bul.ock administration. In
1872, when Gov. Bullock was suc
ceeded by Gov. Milton Smith, the
re;, üblicans bee inie disorgan xed and
the party went to pieces. Hon. Hugh
Buchanan of Newnan was on the demo
cratic ticket in 1572, and was ©looted,
l'na exciting contest© then began to die
out.
THE PARTY OOEH DOWN.
The republicans lost oaste her© and they
went down, down, down, until they were
too weak to raise a voice that could bo
heard. During the ©lections immediately
subsequent to the war hundreds of demo
cratic voters were disfranouised and oould
not vote. This ad-ied to the power of re
publicanism. Again, a number of demo
crats voted for the old homestead, a repu >-
lioan measure, which increased the repub
lican gain-. When all tbe©@ gave way, as
they naturally did under a democratic ad
ministration, the ©leedons went one way.
The democrats got in the saddle and they
have ridden there ever since.
Borne time ia the ’7os, a very exciting
contest took place f r congressman of the
Fourth between Henry W. Hilliard and
Henry R. Harris, the former an independ
ent, the latter a straight out democrat. CoL
LUmara was a strong man aud ho had a
powerful influence in this district. He was
fresh from Alabama, where he had covered
himself in glory, in the defeat of Col.
Yanoy, the father of secession. Ho mads a
thorough canvass at the distrio: and was
given au ovation In the counties where the
hlaoks predominated, but he received an In
glorious defeat.
INDEPENDENT!!)* FTXHJRILHES.
In 1382 the canvass was hot between in
dependents and st'aightoute, but none of
these contest oompare with those following
the war.
The fights between tho independents and
straightouts were in tho democratic camp.
It was one party wrangling. An independ
ent would have served democracy as well as
a straightout. The independent idea was
hutched only to get it* candidate in power.
Democrats of the Fourth district have,
however, shown that the independent id a
will not do. They always stand by the
nominee, and the many defeats which they
have given too independents bave. In a
measure, crushed out that spirit of boltiug.
Mr. Johnson ia not as Jubilant to-day as
he was three weeks ago. He saw great
things iu store for him then, but tfloy are
delusions when be gets near to thorn. When
he made such complete organization am mg
the blacks by paying off their taxes, eta,
the chances were promising. Republican*
wero the o.ily workers then. They bad the
field to themselves. But it is not always
smooth saili g. as Mr. Johnson is finding
out. His boat lias struck a snag and ne it a
sorrowful rna i. His crew is too weak to
puli him off aud he will have to abandon
the vessel.

ure that a farmer can conceive of. It
means bloodshed to him. The more they
rend about it the readier they are to battle
against it. They are against it, and they
swear everlasting enmity to him who fa
vors it.
There never was a time when the farmers
were more thoroughly aroused, and there
cever was a time when they were ever
more active. Aud times are bound to grow
warmer. Z. D. R.

LIVINGSTON’S CAMPAIGN.
A Lack of Xnthualasm Will Result in
Cutting His Majority In Fulton.
Atlanta, Ga.. Nov. 2— Whatever may
for policy’s sake be given out.it is ouly bio ap
parent that the greatest uneasiness is felt for
the result of the congressional election in
this district. Col. Livingston's defeat is
barely a possibility, but his majority,in this
city at least, will he tbe small
est (Hilled by any democratic nom
inee for congress since the reconstruction
period. The effort to ai ouse publio interest
in his eleotion has been a failure, or some
thing very like it, at tie capital. Looklug
over the crowd at Friday night’s rally. Col
Livingston shook hi* head distrustfully
and pronounced it too small for At
lanta Tbe following night, even with
the help of a bra's band, only
65 people by the highest count could
t orn i erel, and the slender meelmg broke
up before the programme had been half
carried out. C>L Livingston’s unpopularity
seems to render party enthusiasm out of the
question. Many democrats will vote for
Col. Haight, and more would hut for the
existing critical juncture iu national poli
tics.

A WOMAN OBTAINED IT.
How tho Supreme Court Decision Wae
Stolen from Justice Milter.
Washington, Nov. 2.— Justice Miller's
death revives the story of the supreme
court decision written by him, and betrayed
pr maturely to stock speculators in some
mysterious wav. relative to the Pam tic rail
roads under the Thnrtnan act. His over
•crupuious honesty kept him above sus
picion, and bis discretion also made that
revelation all the more surprising. A
woman in Washington, poor but extrava
gant, aud the widow of a famous general,
was on intimate terms with Justice Miller’s
family. As the decision was certain to
affect the prices of all Pacific railway
securities very materially, whichever wav
it went, and as it ni.ght ruin men who held
the stocks and bonds, or make their for
tunes, there was an intense anxiety to know
its nature in advauco.
The agent of n New York syndicate
largely interested iu securities offered the
woman $50,000 if she obtained the desired
information. She undertook the dolioato
task. 'While the Miller family were at
church Sunday morning she went to the
house, entered Judge Miliar's library, un
locked his desk by means of skeleton keys
aud copied a portion of the opiniou, which
was can ted to New York and was the basis
of very large tra inactions in socks before
the opinion was announced—about 1:90
o’clock on Monday. The facts leaked out,
the widow was never allowed to enter the
Miller house again ami was never again
recognised by any of tho family. In fact,
she was compelled to leavo Washington in
disgrace, but she gut her SoO,OUO.

r*eervolrs, not nuns of reeervoirs, but the
reservoirs themselves, that Solomon built
three millennium* ago for the purpose of
catching the mountain streams and passing
thorn to Jerusalem to slake the thirst of the
city, and also to Irrigate the most glorious
range of gardens that over (doomed ith ail
colors or breathed with ail rod lenoe, for
Solomon was the great**? horticulturist, the
greatest Kitantst, ibo greatest ornithologist,
the greatest capitalist and the greatest
scientist of his century.

which is to take it to J ruealein, tt has had

USb; tho second, 41CI feet by l(V>- and the
lowest reservoir M 0 feet by lflB; and deep
enough and wide enough, and mighty
enough to float an ocean steamer.
On that December morning, wo saw the
waters rolling down from reservoir to res
ervoir, and can wall understand how in this
neighborhood the imperial gardens ware
one great blossom, and the orchard one
great basket of fruit, and that Holoinon in
his palace, writing the song of songs, and
Ecclesiastes, may nave been drawing Illus
trations from what he had seen that very
morning in the royal gardens when be
alluded to melons, and mandrakes, and
apricots, and grapes, and pomegranates, and
tigs, and spikenard, and cinnamon, aud
calamus, and oamphlre, and “apple trees
among the trees of the wood,” anil the al
mond tree as flourishing, aud to myrrh and
frankincense, aud represented Christ as
“gone down into hit gardens, and the beds
of spices to feed in the gardens, and
to gatnsr lilies” and to “syce like fish
pools," and to the voioeof the turtle dove
as heard in the laud. I think it was when
Solomon was showing the Uueen of Nheba
through these gardens t at tne Bible says of
her: “There remained uo more spirit In
her." She gave It up.
But all this splendor did not make Solo
■nun happy. One day, after getting Pack
from his morning ride and before t be horses
had yet been cooled off and rubbed down
by the royal equerry, Holoinan wrote ths
memorable words, following my text, like
a du-ge played after a grand march, "Be
hold all was vanity and vexation of spirit,
and there wae no profit under the sun." Id
other word*, “li don’t pay!" Would

but the owner of that place is totally blind,
and to him all this goes for nothing, illus

gardens of the whole earth for flowers and
