TITE OMAH BATXiY BEE: Sl'XDAT, XOVEMBETl 11, 1000. BRITAIN'S NEW PARLIAMENT Borne of the Change Wrought by "the Appeal to the Oountrj' JUSTIN M'CARTHY REVIEWS THE RESULT Tories Ilntrrnnhrd In l'u" by the aplneleas Valley of the Liberals Unity of Home ftalcrs .Notables l.altl Oat. Justin McCarthy, until recently a member ( of J'tolUnvnt anil leader of the Irlfh rationalist party, reviews the result of the general election In Orcat Hrltnln and Ire laud In the following article, reproduced from the Now York Independent: Tho practical reHults' of the general elec tion In fjreat Ilrlialn and Ireland raiiy now be taken for granted. Thcro are still come contests to bo decided In tho conBtltuencles. but nothing can bo expected to happen which could, In any serious way, aflect the political position of parties as It stands de fined at tho tlmo I ara writing this article. The tory government comes back to power with a large tuajorltya majority, In fact, very much tho samn be It was when the rpeal to the country was made. Now this Is, no doubt, rt disappointment to ttome few very sanguine torlcs who Indulged In tho fond hopo that the government would eomo back to powi r with a grratly Increased majority. On tbo other hand, It Is a dis appointment to some sengulne liberals who Indulged In tho fond hope that the majority of the government would bo conlderably decreased. Tho fact Is that things remain almost exactly as they were, nnd that tho upporters of the government will have, In the now IIouho of Commons, no ovel whelm ing a majority bh to innko Lord Salisbury and his collcaguca absolutely masters of tho sltuallou. There Is an end, therefore, at least for tho present, to ull the dreams about a liberal Imperialist ministry. For myself, I confess that I cannot fool much regret at tho overthrow of tho liberal party. To quote from "Antony and Cleopatra" "tho teura llvo In an onion, that nhould water thlt) sorrow" for mo at least. Tho liberal pnrty havo gained nothing by do aertlnu their oldest and best political principles. They might ni well havo maintained their historical position as Mr William llarrourt, Mr. John Morley nnd Mr. Ilryco endeavored to prevail on them to do. They would not havo been any worso off Just now. Tho result of the elec tions given tho tory government so large (i majority that no Increase of it which Vould possibly bo expected would mako the slightest practical dlltercnce In the political result. Tho liberals might Just uh well, bo far oven as tnero electioneering purposes were concerned, havo held to the policy of Gladstone. Had they done so all might havo been lost but honor. Borne of tho leading liberals, however, try to per suado themselves that thoy had always been In favor of the war against tho two little republics In South Africa and en deavor to make tho country bellovo that .udyard Kipling was their chosen poet laureate and that tho London music halls 'gavfl them their patriotic Inspiration. "And now," to quote tho words of John Evelyn on a memorable historical occasion, "Is all In tho dust." Knrricellu Opposition. One prediction, I think, I may venture to mako with regard to the results of tho general election, so far as ono political question is concerned. My prediction lb that tho liberal opposition in tho new Ucuso of Commons will be much more encrgotla In ltd support of homo rulo for Ireland than the llbornl opposition was In thnt houso during tho last Parliament. During tho last Parliament tho Irish home rule party was disturbed and distracted by internal quarrels and some of tho liberal leaders had got It Into their minds that that stato of things wns going to last for over and that tho Irish nationalist mem bers could no longor bo counted on as of much uso In a political alliance. In fact tho Idea got about that tho homo rule agitation had Hpont Its forco and that noth ing moro was likely to bo heard of it for some time. Some of tho liberal leaders had novor been very earnest In their ad vocacy of homo rule. They had to tulco up tho cause when Mr. Gladstone took It up and bocauso hn took it up, but their, hearts were not much In It and when Mr. Glad stone disappeared from public llfo their hopes woro that tho homo rule causo would disappear along with him. The torlcs, on the other hand, boldly uvowed their policy of killing homo rulo with kindness, as the adopted phrase described tho prdcess. JUorao rulo wns to ho killed by tho con iceBslon to tho Irish pcoplo of various minor "demands and thus convincing slmplo folks IB Iroland that they had no particular need of uatlounl self-government, seeing that they could get most of tho things they wanted from tho hands of a benlguant tory ministry. For this purposo Lord Salisbury's government gavo Ireland a system of Irish local parish councils and created a special board of agrlculturo to help tho farmers of tho country, nnd all manner of plausible suggestions were sent about to tho effect Vthat Iroland had only to express a wIbIi and It should be grunted, so loux as It did not keep pressing its troublesome old dc ' xtuand for home rulo. Ilonir Uulr I'll 1 1 j-. Now tho rcBUlt of tho general elections Ik to proclaim with the most emphatic voice tho utter fa II nro of this policy. Tho Irish nationalist party has come back to tho House of Commons stronger than bo fore, In more numbers, and much stronger In energy In united purposo and in resolu tion. Dissension in the Irish pnrty has been nlmoHt oniircly got rid of and It may be taken for granted that tho homo rulera will make their preseneo felt In tho next Parliament aa thoy had not been able to do for mauy past sessions The home rulers SENT FREE TO MEN A Mont Kemurkablc Remedy Thnt Quickly RtctUorea Lo.it Vigor To Men, A Frae Trial Package Sent hy Mnil To All Who Write.

Now It is perhaps hardly necessary for mo to say that when I Bpeak of the liberal leaders, In that sense, I do not mean such meu as John Morley, Sir William Harcourt and James Dryce, who have never swerved from their advocacy of home rulo, hut only tho liberal leaders who of late years seemed Inclined to compromise with the Jingoes on what Is called Imperialism, and with the torlcs on the policy of re garding home rulo as a question out of date. We shall heur a good deal about home rule In the coming Parliament, and we shall find some of tho liberal leaders prompt to proclaim their belief that for all that has comu a tid gone home rule Is not dead, but ery much alive, and it may even be kick ing. Some, figures long familiar to the House of Commons will b missing when tho new Parliament assembles. Mr. Ooschen was until the other day first lord of tho ad miralty, and has .for many years held a leading position In conservative administra tions. Ho began his political career an a liberal, I might say as a radical, some thlrty-ilvo yearn ago, and, at that time, ho wns thought by most persons to rcpreseut tho moHt udvunced Ideas of the liberal party, and bo soon obtained olTlco under a liberal administration. Ho was ono of those who fell away from Oladstono when Gladstone adopted tho priuclplo of home rule for Ire land, and since then he has been known ns ono of tho very ablest of conservative administrators. Mr. Ooschen proved him self u master of tlnanco and showed thorough edlclency In every department of administration which wan put under his control. He is a man of much reading and culture outsldo the raugo of politics and finance, and Is in private life a charming talker nnd a most genial acquaintance. Much surprise is still expressed as to tho cause of bis withdrawal from official and parliamentary life, for ho is younger than several of his colleagues who stilt hold ithelr places and has, Indeed, not reached tho number of yenra which In our days Is held to entltlo a man to relief from the work of administration. Mr. Ooschen, however, gives up his place In the ministry nnd his heat In tho House of Commons by his own voluntary notion, nnd Is probably well satlsucd to have moro leisure for the In dulgence of his love for books. rVotoil TrrtotHlrr llrllrrd. Another man wnom Parliament will miss Is Blr Wilfrid Lnwson, the chain plou teetotaler of England tho readiest and moat proline of Jokers known to the House cf Commons during ray recollection, I llnd It hard to Imaglno tho House of Commons without Sir Wilfrid Lawson. No man but he could deliver n speech in favor of prohibitory legislation for tho traffic In drink, which was euro to bo listened to, every word, by tho most unconverted House of Commons, for the good reason that tho speech was certain never to contain a dull sentence, but to sparkle all through with telling arguments put In tho form of Jokes, paradoxes which puzzled by their oddity and their brilliancy and refutations which wero as conclso as lepartoeB. Nobody could bo hurt by Sir Wilfrid Lawson'B humor, even whou he persisted in describ ing tho vast proportion of his fellow coun trymen as tho moderate drunkards. Sir Wilfrid Lawson was a consistent and de voted champion of prohibitory legislation and has been making, for many years, large pecuniary sucrltlces to maintulu the agita tion. Ho was a genuine and consistent liberal of tho old school, a man who could not bo brought to bellovo that It wns right for his country to do wrongv and who for that reasou bravely and persistently set himself against tho policy of Mr. Chamber lain and Mr. Cecil ltliodcs In regard to the South African republics and against tho Jingo policy generally. Victim of Jingo Knry. Mr. Leonard Courtney, too, will bo ab sent from the new Parliament. Ho la- a man of a. very high order of ability, a great authority on questions of political economy and ono of tho men not a few who had made a reputation as Journalists before making a reputation as members of Parlia ment. Mr. Courtney hud strongly opposed and denounced tho wholo policy of tho South African couqunst nud had mado hlm Helf therefore particularly unpopular with the Jingoes of tho country. Another victim to the Jingo fury Is Philip Stunhopc, brother of tho present und son of tho Into Karl Stanhope, n man -who bears one of tho most distinguished names In England's urlstocracy. Philip 3tnnhnpo Is not only an aristocrat by birth, but Is also a man of great wealth, and yet ho has departed so far from tho traditions of his family as to become nn advanced radical und a champion of every causo In which tho po litical emancipation of tho pcoplo U con cornod. Ho has great parliamentary ability, Ib a ready and powerful speaker, has a very oxtenslvo knowledge of foreign affairs and seemed In every way marked out for a successful political career. For tho present; however, that career has been checked by thu rising of tho Jingo Hood. Philip Stnnhopo steadfastly opposed the South African policy of tbo government, and tho immediate result of his consistent con duct Is that ho Is without u seat In the House of Commons. Some time no doubt he will return, but his brilliant eloquence and his genial companionship will bo missed by most members when tho now Houso as sembles. Another man who will be missed in tho next Parliament, although ho has not been a legislator for nearly so long a tlmo as any of tho others I havo Just mentioned. Is Sir Henry M. Stanley, tho famous African explorer, who discovered Dr. Llvlngstouo In 1871. Stanley, how ever, waa hardly anything moro than a presence In tho Houso of Commons. He wns In the House, but hardly of It, Ho took llttln part In debate, although when any subject arose of which he had special knowledge ho rould make a telling speech nud was listened to with thut attention which tho House of Commons always gives to n man who Is speaking on his own subject.

MONTE CAIILO, Oct. 11. (Correspond ence of The Ueo.) Monaco and Munte Carlo aro the loveliest spots on tho lllvlera. Nature has provided tho superb wild scen ery nnd man baa beautified it and provided every comfort and luxury. The clluiatu la ldial. Sheltered by tho background of mountains and washed by the bluo waters of tho Mediterranean sea, thcao two spots provldo for man all that tho heart can wish for. Most pcoplo think that tho gambling Ib carried on In Monaco, but such Is not thu case. Tho prince, whose palaco stands on u picturesque height overlooking tho sea, Btrlctly forbids gambling at Monaco. Tbo Casino, whoro tho gambling Is carried on und where the games aro played, Is at Monto Curio, on tho hill, acrouu tbo bay of Monaco. On entering the palatial Casino one Is Immediately Impressed with the exquisite taste nnd luxury shown on all sides. Hero are great pillars of Oriental jasper and marbles, mural frescoes and French mir rors reflecting dazzling lights and count less statues. On tho left aro tho booking offices where ono must present his visiting card, which admits him gratis, for one day, to the gambling halls, the reading rooms and concert hall. On tho right, opposite tho booking olllce, aro tho cloak room, etc. Next Is the gambling hnll, where tho tables aro going from 11 o'clock in the morning until 11 at night. Guards in uniform are every where. The T liter's I.nlr. Having entered from tho vestibule, wo rind a lung hall In which aro four roulctto tables. Crossing this hall we como to a smaller ono containing two tables of trcnto t quarante. These saloons form, as it wero, ono long hall. It Is quite remarkable, considering how many pcoplo aro playing at the tables, how quiet It in, the only sound bolug n sort of buzz, and tho croupiers' voices when 'they call out tho result of tho gumo. In my opinion, tho system of gambling ut Monto Carlo Is infinitely superior to gambling at clubs, for this reason, that there Is no possible cheating or tiwludllng In any way. It is all slmplo chance. If you win you receive your win nings directly. Tho great difference between gambling at Monte Carlo und gambling at private clubs is very distinct. At Monto Carlo a man can lose only the amount ho happens to have in his pocket, while at clubs, where ho la known, If ho baa land or money, a man can get what ho cares to advanced to him until ho has lost his entlro estate, and In consequence. Is ruined. Whllo I have no Intention to laud tho gambling here I do any that tho system is superior to that seen In many privnto gcnUemau'a clubs, both at homo and abroad. Ilouletto appears to be tho popular garao at Monto Carlo and moro tables are devoted to this than to trento ut quarauto. The rouletto tnble is about three times as long as It is broad, and Is dlvldod into thrco divisions, tho middle part for tho bank nud rouletteo, Is covered with a green baize cloth, tho numbers, etc., aro marked by white lines and figures. Tho two ends of the table are exactly alike and contain the chances on any of which tho players may win. Eet Into the center of tho tablo Is tho rouletto worked on a pivot. In tho roulette aro thlry-scven small compartments, alternately marked by red and black, and contain zero and thirty-six numbers in white. The roulette is sot In motion by a croupier taking hold of one of the four bars and giving a turn: the four bars aro attached to tho top of tho pivot. As Boon as tho rouletto Is started tho tamo croupier starts a small ivory ball In tho opposite direction to which tho roulotto Is going; this ball continues running until tho roulette slackens Its pace, then tho ball rolls Into ono of the compartments and this decides the winning number and other chances of tho roulctto. On each side of the roulette, In rows, aro bank notes, gold aud sliver, which Is tho capital of the bank. Two croupiers ure seated at each side of the table, hav ing tho roulotto and tho capital of the bank between them. Theso two croupiers ara provided with a small rako each, by means of which thoy pull toward them the stakes lost by tho players or push toward them tho amount duo In case ef winning. Behind tho two croupiers, at each sldo of tho tablo, la a third croupier or superintendent, seated on a higher stool, whoso duty It Is to watch tho game on behalf of tho bank and settlo disputes which may ariso between tho play ors and the bank. Thero is also a croupier at each end of tho table, whoso duty la to see that tho Btakcs aro placed where the players wish aud to watch that they are taken or paid in full. Thus thero are eight croupiers employed at each rouletto table, six to work tho game and two to see that tho rules and regulations of the play are proporly carried out. These croupiers only sit two hours at a time, when they are re placed by others. The two ends of tho tablo aro worked exactly alike, but havo nothing to do with each other, but tho compartment containing tho numbers and color, which tho llttlo Ivory ball falls Into decides equally tho winning number, color, etc., for both ends. Thu object of having tho two ends of the tablo alike is to give the players moro room aud thus facilitate the play. About eight persons can bo sented at each end, four on each side, tho other players standing behind them. What Impresses one, at first glance, on entering tho gambling balls is tho largo per cent of women plr.yers many of them being old. with snow white hair; others aro young, scarcely out of their teeus, all Interested alike in tho game. Some play merely for the oxperlonco without refer ence to tho moral aldo of the tnattor; oth ers Indulge from very lovo of gambling. I have scon old women with snow white hair, of most reBpectablo appearance, draw out a chair and seat themselves at one of thu tables, deposit their small handbags aud at onco proceed to play. Others, whose experience has been well tested, unscrew their parasol handle and to our astonish ment produce a small rake, Buch as Is used by tho croupiers; this la attached to tho purasol BtlcU and serves to place tbo money on tho green cloth. Young girls risk gold and silver with Inveterate gam blers and women of tho world, oblivious of tho consequence. The ntntcsphero of tho great raloona Is beating; the click of money la always pres ent. The music for a tlmo exhilarates and then depresses, nnd the wave of song lan gulahes on thu air. Tho moon looks down on azure sea nud lights the boatman to his rude cottago on the rocks, Tho dull mo notonous cry of tho croupiers, "Messieurs faltea vcb Jcux," echoes through the long hall, but the boatman hears it not; he pile, the oar with rapid stroke, for he Is near Ing horoa NETTIE COLLINS GATES.

FIGHTING YELLOW JACK Ilipcrlrncc of an Oinuttii Mnn Tilth the SnfTron Terror nf the Tropica. Hon. John Jenkins of Omaha, formerly county commissioner and now United States consul at San Salvador, In a letter to Tho Dec, gives an account of his double experience with yellow fever ut his post of duty and tho efforts of the authorities to check tho dlseaso. "Many reports," ho writes, "havo been circulated as to tho very unhealthy climate of Salvador, with somo degreo of truth. Two consuls of tho United States died here from yellow fovor and I have oHlclatod at tho Interment of citizens of tho United States whoso death was attributed to that cause. I did not escape tho experience of having a practi cal Idea of what It Is, and, contrary to tho generally accepted Idea, that onco you have it you aro Immune, I havo had a second attack. It is claimed by many that it Is not tho genuine yellow fever at all. It Is nevertheless true that It kilts and that the symptoms nro tho same. Again, it la said to bo sporadic and not epidemic. Tho fuct remains that tho dls ease Is hero and has shown that It Is to remain as long an tho government docs not lako stops to stnmp It out. "Dr. Pnlomo, ono of our beat physicians nnd mout enetgetlc citizens, took steps In organizing a national board of health, which haa takeu measures of a saultnry character In tho hopes of being nblo to stamp it out, for prior to 1891 it wns un known In San Salvudor. It was introduced by a Oermau ship touching at La Union. One of its passengers went to San Miguel, dying thero from tho disease, which he Is supposed to havo contracted In Panama. From San Miguel It spread over tho re public. It la apparently confined to San Salvudor and Its surroundings. The na tlvo, ns a rule, has a greater dread of It than foreigners. A very effective treat ment la to tnke the following lemonade as soon as any kind of fever mnkes Its ap pcarauco: Two ounces of oil, with an equal amount of Hmo Juice, n tablespoonful of salt, to which is added enough pepper to suit taste. It will not kill you, but It is next door to it. As a rulo, it kills any fever, yellow or otherwise. " Mr. Jenkins further says thnt tho author ities huvo Issued stringent orders requir ing frequent washing of public halls und churches with solutions of bichloride of mercury, prohibiting spitting on tho floors nnd ordering open doors for free circula tion of air. These precautions, It Is ex pected, will check tho spread of tho infec tion. Mr. Jenkins concludes: Honor Mayorga Klvas, tho editor of tho Dlarlo del Salvador, has been persistent In his efforts to bring about sanitary conditions. He lately offered a prize of $500 for tho best essay on tho subject of sanitation for San Sal vador. Too much praise cannot be be stowed upon him or his coadjutors, Dr. Palomo, minister of the interior, and Juan Lopez, tho mayor of San Salvador, whoso energies aro governed by well directed In telligence.'

IT is possible to be perfectly familiar wita a fact, and yet to havo no adequate knowledge of tho relation of that fact to the whole fabric of hu man knowledge or belief. Everybody Is familiar with tho fact of gravitation. How many of all those who make glib use of that familiar term appreciate tho enormous power of this wonderful forco. Everybody knows that the blood is the life. The Scripture says so, and science supports tho Scripture in that plain statemont. How many of all those who believe that the blood is the life have asked themselves, " How is tho blood the life ? " Bread has been called tho u staff of life," and in tho wide mean ing of the word broad, as food, it is un doubtedly true that blood which is the life itself, must lean heavily upon the staff of food. Take away that staff, aud blood absolutely fails. Thus, the scarlet clue of the blood leads us back, finally, to the stomach and to tho chemical pro cesses by which the food which is taken into the stomach is transformed into blood, which is life.
