TjONPOX, November SO.—[Special]—Social-
ist demonst i ..t ions which have long been im-
ciinent in the chief manufacturing districts
of Belgium arc apparently close at hand.
The dominions of King Leopold comprise a
hot-bed of socialism, and no popular upris-
ing or strike of workingmcu has taken
plnoe in any continental country within the
last ten years that has not bL>en incited, in-
flueuced or led by the socialist working-
men employed in the various Belgian manu-
factories, and the few who are not are in-
variably drawn into concerted action with
the lawless element when a revolt against
employers occurs. For several months past
there have been indications of socialist out-
breaks, involving miners and other workers
at Charleroi, Mons, 1 liege, and other promi-
nent places, and the boldness with which
preliminary steps have been taken
have surpassed all examples of
impudence and self-reliance which
have characterized previous preparations
for similar movements. Hitherto meetings
of local lodges of the socialists have been
conducted with at least a pretense to secre-
cy, but within the last month open meet-
ings have been held in the most congested
districts, at which speeches were made
openly denouncing the government authori-
ties and principal employers, and defying
tho military. In many of the principal
towns garrisons have beeu strengthened in
anticipation of trouble, but this display of
determination on the part of the govern-
ment has had no appreciable effect in de-
lerring the agitators from continuing their
Incitement to disorder. The storm can nut
long be delayed, and it is predicted that
when it does come the public remembrance
of the strikes of two years ago as scenes of
bloodshed and destruction, will be effaced
by the results of the later revolt.

ENGLAND.
HOt'se OF COMMONS.
London, November 29.—Robert Gent
Davis, member of parliament for the Ken-
nington division of Lambeth, was commit-
ted to prison on Tuesday for contempt of
court in failing to pay £3778 due by him as
administrator of his uncle's estate. He ap-
peared in court to-day and offered to apolo-
gize and to refund the money. The judge,
however, refused to interfere, and the order
of arrest was handed to the sheriff for exe -
cution. Davis' debt was subscribed by tory
members of parliament to prevent the dis-
grace of the arrest of a member for breach
of ttTisi:.
In tiie house of commons to-day Mr. Tim-
Ctny ftealy asked what steps Mr. Smith,
the government leader, intended to recom-
mend the house to take regarding the charge
against Mr. Davis of using money received
in a judiciary capacity.
Mr. Smith denied, the existence of any
proof to justify him in asking the house to
pronounce judgment on Mr. Davis.
Mr. Edmund Robertson (liberal) reminded
the house that the expulsion of a member
should be decreed for breach of trust, and
he asked if Mr. Davis' conduct did not
amount to that.
Mr. Smith protested against hasty action
in the matter affecting the character and
honor of a member.
Mr. Healy intimated that unless the gov-
ernment acted in the matter he would move,
o:i Tuesday next, that a new writ be issued
f an election to fill the seat now held by
Mr. Davis.
The committee appointed to consider (he
circumstances of the breach of privilege
committed by au Irish constable in arrest-
ing Mr. Shechy, M. P., in the house of
commons, resumed its examination to-day.
Representatives of the press were ex-
cluded.
In the house of commons this evening
Mr. IStadlaugh moved to adjourn the house
in order to call attention to the continued
imprisonment of Mr. Moroneyin the Kil-
mainham jail for contempt of court, under
the coercion act. He said that Mr. Moroney
was suffering in health and becoming in-
sane. He represented that bankruptcy
proceedings had been used with
a view to compel Mr. Moroney
to divulge certain things which Mr.
Moroney refused to do. Mr. Bradlaugh
maintained that this refusal, although "il-
legal, was morally justiiied, and that Mr.
Moroney ought not to be punished by inde-
finite imprisonment. Mr. Balfour and Sir
Richard Webster, attorney-general, eon-
tended that the government had no power
to order the release of Moroney. It was his
own fault if he failed to purge himself of
his contempt. After a long debate tho mo-
tion was rejected by a vote of 195 to 159.
A desultory discussion on the Ashbourne
act then followed. Finally the bill passed
the third reading by a vote of 202 to 141.
During tiie evening a report reached the
house of commons that Lord Compton,
Gladstonian candidate in the Holborn dis-
trict, London, had been elected. When the
news was received Gladstonian members
stood on the benches and cheered them-
selves hoarse. A subsequent report showed
that Mr. Bruce, the conservative candidate,
was successful, and a similar scene was
enacted by the conservative members. So
prolonged was the cheering that the speak-
er with difficulty restored order.
pahxeli, commission.
Inspector Crane gave evidence before the
Parnell commission to-day as to the pro-
gress of crime iu Ireland being coincident
with the formation of branches of the
league. Wherever an organization was
started outrages followed. Not every
leaguer was a moonshiner, but the majority
of moonshiners were leaguers. On cross-
examination witness admitted that he had
never been able to trace directly the connec-
tion of persons convicted of outrages with
the league, Certainly no official of the
league had ever been convicted. No
crime had occurred in connection
with home rule- agitation or
extension of franchise. Every crime
arose over land disputes. The inspector
deposed that he had always understood
that moonlighters executed tho wishes of
the league. Oil being cross-examined by
Mr. Harrington witness said that ho could
not point out a single instance supported
by proof where the league had directed a
moonlight outrage.
salisbury speaks at edinburgh.
Lord Salisbury in a speech to-day at Edin-
burgh, returning thanks for the resolution
of confidence in the government, said that
he believed Scotland was beginning to re-
alize the dangers of Gladstonianism and
was becoming unionist. It was a matter
for regret that Scotch affairs were so
neglected, and that Scotland was being
treated by the legislature in inverse pro-
portion to her patience. He trusted that
the government's scheme of local govern-
ment for Scotland would prove satisfactory.
He urged the Scotch people not to trust in
Mi*. Gladstone's home rule promises which,
he said, were vague, because within Mr.
Gladstone's own mind bis plan was unde-
fined. The new home rule plan was con-
cealed because there was no plan to reveal.
The speech was enthusiastically received
by an audience numbering 05-00 persons.
british medical society.
At a council meeting of the British Medi-
eal society a resolution was passed depre-
cating the publication of the details Of the
late Emperor Frederick's sickness as a vio-
lation of professional confidence. The
council adopted regrets of tiie editor of tiie
society organ concerning the publication of
them. The Lancet says that Sir Morrcii
Mackenzie has resigned his membership in

conkkv.vtive elected.
Tho election in Holborn district of Lon-
don to-day resulted in the choice of Dr.
Brute, conservative, by a^vota of 4398
against 3-13-1 for Lord Compton, Gladston-
ian. In the election two years ago Colonel
Duncan, conservative, whose death last
week left tiie seat in parliament vacant, had
a majority of 1700 out of a total vote of 5(100.
si!e was beaten.
The case of Valery Weidemann against
Robert Horace Walpole, heir presumptive
of the earldom of Oxford, for breach of
promise, was heard to-day. Tho plaintiff
contradicted herself and declined to answer
vital quest ions. Finally the jury inter-
fered, the trial was stopped and a verdict
for the defendant was rendered.

Berlin', November2f'.—The socialist mem-
bers of the reichstag have published an dp-
peal to their supporters to continue their
agitation and to collect funds for defraying
the expenses of the next election, which is

1880. Tho appeal continues as follows: "The
time is now favorable for us as never be-
fore. Radical social reform is necessary,
for the peasant citizen suffers equally with
the workman." The supposed object of the
manifesto is to gain more ground upon
which to conduct agitation than is per-
mitted under the present laws a&ramst
socialists excepting at the period of elec-
tions. , , , ,

A Watchman Shot.

about 12 o'clock Mr. Childress, the night
watchman at the International depot, dis-
covered that somo one was in an empty box-
car that was to go out on the morning
freight. He at once walked to the door and
demanded to know what the intruder
wanted. Without warning the watchman
was fired on by the person in tho car with a
pistol and fell to the ground, at the
same time drawing his pistol and firing on
his fleeing assailant, with what effect
is not yet known. Mr. Childress
crawled to the depot building a distance of
200 yards and reported the circumstances.
He was at once sent, to ( lie military hospital
for treatment, but up to this hour it can
not bo determined whether the wound
which penetrated the stomach is necesarily
fatal or not.
The murderer is supposed to be a tramp
who arrived three days ago in the city and
disappeared last night. It is thought that
he was stowing himself away in the box
car for a free ride north.
The latest news from the wounded man
is to the effect that he can not live until
morning.

A FRENCH STEAMER'S EXPERIENCE
In the Recent Gale Off the Sew England
Coast.
philadelphia, Pa., November 29.—[Spe-
cial—Captain Chebut of the French
steamship Panama, now in this port, re-
ports that on November 26 the vessel was
within 100 miles of the Delaware capea,
where she met the terrible cyclone which
damaged so much shipping along the coast.
The seas were mountainous and all efforts
to keep the vessel head on were fruitless, as
the wind blew her around in the trough
of the ocean. At times she was completely
enveloped. A carpenter, I. Franeous, who
was at work aft, was swept overboard by
the waves which came up ou the starboard
side and was immediately swallowed up
in the angry sea. At 8 p. m. the same night
signals of a vessel in distress were seen
shooting up from a dark hulk which was
nearly level witli the water. Captain Ch e-
but bore down on the craft as near as possi-
ble, but was unable to get close enough to
rescue the crew. He could distinctly see a
man clinging to the after-house waving
lights and begging to bo taken off. He be-
lieves the vessel to have been a full rigged
ship. She was deeply laden, and doubtless
foundered with all on board. When he left
them they were waying torches, but after a
few moments all the lights died out.
BUSINESS TROUBLES.

Exciting Races.
San Antonio, Tex., November 29.—All
the banks and leading business houses
closed to-day. Tho streets wore a Sunday
appearance. That is, what would be a Sun-
day appearance in other towns. In San An-
tonio one day is pretty much like anothor.
The fair grounds from an early hour wore
a lively look. As one of tho managers ex-
pressed it, "it was the last spill out of the
box for a big attendance." It was success-
ful. In addition to tho usual number of
strangers and San Antonians, who havo
leisure to goat any time they choose, all the
clerks, employes in various businesses and
laboring people took advantage of the holi-
day and packed the
twenty-minute trains.
More sight-seers passed through the gates
than ou any day since the show opened,
numbering but little under 15,000.
A specially attractive programme had
been arranged. About 9 o'clock the Moxi-
can band, headed by the fair officials,
marched through the streets and returning
to the grounds rendered one of the notable
concerts, which beyond question have been
tiie best thing about tho enterprise.
At 2 p. in. Professor St. Clair, whose bal-
lon partially burned the other day while in
course of mfiation, made an ascent from
near the main building. Tho air was
nearly thoroughly calm and the conditions
in every way favorable. He was seated on
a hoop attached to the vehicle's bottom, and
wlien the ropes were loosened shot up with
tremendous velocity. He had reached an
altitude of over 2500 feet before he made any
attempt, to spread his parachute. When a
little over 3000 feet high he had his machine
partly open and immediately cast off with
no perceptible
WRENCH OR JERK.
He came down very smoothly, hanging
perfectly straight and struck the ground not
over one hundred feet from the starting
point. He was thrown by the jar but was
in no way bruised Or injured. Ho is a pro-
tege of Professor Baldwin, the parachutist
now in England, and will shortly go himself
to Australia, taking his companions with
him. He says that the parachute drop in
this country has been faked to such an ex-
tent that there is no money or fame in it;
that Baldwin, who has introduced it to
England, a short time ago sent home sixty
thousand dollars, and that he expects to do
equally as well in Australia, where the peo-
ple aro liberal and willing to pay well for a
new sensation.

Killed by Dynamite.
Cleveland, O., November 29.—At San-
dusky, O., to-day Albert Walker attempted
to thaw out some dynamite, when the com-
pound exploded tearing off his arms and in-
flicting other injuries, from the effects of
which he died in a short time.
Her Remains En Route to St. Louis.
New York, November 29.—The remains

family and Senator John Sherman, left on
the 6.30 Pennsylvania train to-night for St.
Louis.
Mr. Harrison Pond of Fishing.
It has been discovered since the election
that Mr. Harrison of Indianapolis is fond of
fishing. This may prove to bo very fortun-
ate. Usually the fishing business under re-
publican administrations has boen left to
the vice-presidents, who made that innocent
recreation the principal business of their
lives because they had nothing else to
do. If Mr. Blaine gets into the cabinet,
however, the titular president will neod
some pleasant pastime, for his relief from
the cares of state will bo very nearly abso-
lute. And then, too, Mr. Morton is not a
person addicted to idling or angling. His
interest in great railroads, banks and mo-
nopolies of various kinds is too big to be
neglected. The administration, if the pre-
cedents are to bo followed, must have a
fisherman; and fortunately Mr. Harrison,
after the cabinet is constituted, will be able
to give undivided attention to the duties of
that office. [Chicago Globe.

the United States; yet even then it would
havo beau hard to persuade the people of
Texas to make the division. In tills coun-
try political majorities are too mobile and
uncertain to be fixed by any such device. It
may be safely assumed that Texas will not
be divided—at least, not for a considerable
time to come.

THE NEWS AND ITS MISSION.
io:
THE NEWS, exemplifyinet an unprecedented achioveracDt in journalism,-is
a paper published every day la the year at two points in Texas 310 miles apart.
In point of newspaper enterprise pure and simple itli recognized by even tl:e
most rigid judgment as
UNEQUALED IN TEXAS OE THE WHOLE SOUTHWEST.
Unremitting in the labor of a fair intelligencer of current events, THE NEWS
Is not less thoroughly committed to the labor of a critical expositor of cur-
rent questions. In the faithful discharge ol this double mission it will note
carefully and discuss liberally every development of moment aud
EVEKY PROBLEM OE IMPORTANCE
in the political and social situation. The country has entered a period phenom-
enally rile with symptoms ot discontent and angry but indefinite agitation.
The poriod before It closcs may be stormy; it will certainly in the end be very
eventful. Obstructed movement and repressed energy must at last find vent
by desperately breaking a way at whatever peril, II a smooth and safe way is
not seasonably opened. All tho causes responsible for tho disUflnpcred fea-
tures and evil portents of tho situation resolve themselves into one cause—bad
government in the past, whose works, thus lor defying and baffliug reform,
Implacably continue, harassing the present and perplexing the future. And all
tho branches and varieties of this pestilent survival of past misrule are trace-
able to one giant root. This is class legislation. Here we have tho sum of the
Wrongs, the distempers and the dangers of the hour. It is this kind of legisla-
ilon Which, on the monstrous pretense that if the government will take care ol
the few the lew will take caro of the many, has been digging such a gulf ot
disparity and pi suspicion, fear and hatred between the toiling masses and the
favored classes. By the former it Is constantly felt, though not clcarlv, seen in
& colossal system of legalized robbery. The chief instrument of this robbery is
A TARIFF WHICH TAXES THE PEOPLE
five dollars for monopoly to every dollar which it produces for the treasury.
Another characteristic Incident of tho system is the accumulation of surplus
In the treasury at the rate of $160,000,000 a year, making currency that much
scarcer and debts that much heavier. It was Inevitable that such system
should disseminate more and more widely a spirit of predatory politics. Ac-
cordingly, a tendency is observed In every aggrieved class that organizes for
rearcss to fusli to retaliatory measures of class legislation. Thus tiie country
Is threatened With an epidemic demoralization such as
MR. LINCOLN APPREHENDED
when he remarked: "It does appear to me that our people aro fast approach-
ing the point where It can be said that seveu-eightbs of them are trying to find
»0t how to live at the expense of tho other eighth." The spirit in question
must be arrested, legislation and politics must be brought to honest and
healthy conditions, or all the political activities and aims of Americaus will
itican absolutely nothing but greed and jobbery, organization and appctilo.
While THE &EWS wlil strenuously combat this spirit, it will strenuously
Ui'te t^e kind of reform and progress in legislation and politics which is essen-
tial to the maintenance ot a sound and salutarv conservatism. In so doing_
THE NEWS WILL BE THE ORGAN OE NO PARTY,
Will take Its inspiration from no set of politicians, will represent the special
flews or demands of no particular class, but will espouse tho grlovaiices and
advocate the just claims of the whole industrious, producing, tax-paying,
burdoh-bearlng body of the people. If some of tlicm w< u d fondly trust to
fnlso remedies io the line of class legislation, THE NEWS will strivo to dis-
abuse them of that fatal infatuation. It will strive to convince them that the
true solution of
THE GREAT PROBLEM OE REDRESS AND REFORM
is to be found ip overthrowing the whole fabric of restrictive, shackling and
ineddlflsomo class legislation and establishing the largest liberty, under equal
!4lvs, iof all classes, interests and pursuits. Whatever may befall this paity or
that party, this movement or that movement, THE NEWS will keep straight cn,
loyal to one supreme cause—the cause of good government and honest poii-
ij6S*-aud consulting lio augury but imperlshablo aspiration for the people's
welfare ?nd the country's glory. For the rest, THE NEWS will como dally
freighted with various information that will mako it indispensable to every
voter of Whatever party, creed, fraternity or class who wishes to be abreast
with the times.
