New York Times. London, Ansr. 14. -Thomas Edison was given a very handsom e reception this afternoon by Col Gourand at his beautiful villa. Lit tle Menlo, at Upper Norwood, m Surrey. A large number of ladiuj and gentlemen gathered there to meet the distinguished inventor of America. The reception included a dinner, lasting from 3 to 8 o'clock. Under the inspiring influence of popular appreciation Mr. Edison made a speech, in which he dwelt first upon his first visit to England, 18 j years ago, and then devoted himself to a humorous criticism of English politics and climate. Ho then proceeded to amaze the cole -pany by reciting "Bingen on ti e Rhine," and winding up with ;i most extraordinary whistling spasm. Then he sang a funeral march, and without waiting for an encore; gave "Mary had a little lamb." He told funny stories, and, in fact, coridacjt ed quite a variety entertainment all by himself. Mr. Edison was not entirely present, but he was not en tirely absent, and the perplexity of the company over the human j voice aud its absent owner, 3,000 miles away, was very great. ! " I Mrs. Alice Shaw, who haa quite conquered London, whistled for tho perfected phonograph, and it whit tled back quite as brilliantly as she did. A large number of guests were presented to Mr. Edison via the phonograph, each making a I short speech to him suitable to the occa sion. When the company was freak ing fup three rousing cheers' were given.' for j Edison, with a tiger aiid long clapping of hands. The effect, when the cheers and applause wore repeated a moment later, was funny in the extreme. All the introduc tions, whistling solos, British cheejrs, &o., dryly recorded on the wax cyl inders, will be taken to America by Mr, W, II, Crane, of "Th(i Hen rietta." When they arrive Mr. Edi son will find that he has a lot of ac quaintances who know him very Well uy vuiuw uuii ddd oy Bigot, i:ne re . ception was an .exceedingly novel one, and the new machines, with their perfect articulation, excited wonaer, reacning .in many cases to amazement. Yes, Tbey Love the. Laborer, Oh Yes! Phil. Record, Dem. As if wholly consoious and half ashamed of his position as the Ad vocate and jhe apologist of legalised spoliation and robbery Blaine fix olaimed to the crowd in Boston: This is a fight for the strong arms and the sturdy hearts of the Ameri can laborers. I 1 Who are these laborers concerning whose arms and hearts Mr. Blainfe is o solicitous? j j Not the carpenters. blacksmitha. masons, plasterers, butchers ind ba kers? These men know the tariff only in its extortions. j Not the telegraph operators, the railroad engineers, firemen and switch tenders? The tariff cannotfadd a cent to their earnings.! f tbe lumbermen of the West nor the fishermen of New England? For these laborers are alike In! the grasp of tanff-fed trusts. I j Who. then, are the laborers whom Mr. Blaine is so anxious to protect? He does not mean the $5 -a-week Hun garians in the Passaio woollen mills of that eminent protectionist Mr. H H. Ammidown? Nor can he mean the French work- ingmen imported by Claude Chaff an gon, the millionaire silk manufacturer of Hudson. N. J., who deducts each .week oneenth of their pay until the cost of passage shall have been re- covered? j i Nor can Mr. Blaine refer to "the strong arms and the sturdy hearts" of the Poles and Bohemians over whom Pinkerton's troops stood guard while their cheap labor was driving American workingmen out of the steel mills of Andrew Carnegie? Nor to the fresh loads of contract Italian labor just landed at Castle Garden and on the way to tne an thracite mines of Pennsylvania? This importation of "American laborers" is altogether too recent to have eli cited Mr. Blaine's tender concern. ; Mr. Blaine cannot frighten any of these laborers by telling them that the factories and. mines would be run at half wages if the Mills bill should be passed. The protected monopo list who own the mills and mines, and who pay not a farthing more than the Castle Garden market rate for the raw material of human mus cle, have got the wage rate downto the starvation standard now, and can not mark it down any lower. Since Mr. Blaine does not mean all nor any of these laborers, for whom is he making this tariff "fight?" Let him stand up in his next speech and honestly confess that he is making this fight for the Lumber and Salt Trusts, for the Bessemer Steel Ring, for the Tin-Plate Association, for the Carnegies, the Ammidowns, the Chaffangons and "the rest of the beneficiaries of Tariff Spoliation! Let him make a clean breast of it and admit that, from the day in which he entered public life down to this hour, he has never been on any side but that of Monopoly ! C VRREN TCOMMENT. The organs of Harrison and monopoly must be in a rather des perate condition for means to bolster up their campaign when they resort to the device of "interviewing" the employes of commercial establish ments and then distort and misrepre sent what they say or put words in their mouths which they never utter ed. A fair sample of this kind of campaign work was perpetrated by the 'Tribune when on Saturday it represented an employe of Tefft, Wheeler & Co. as saying that there had been a revolution in political sentiment in that establishment and that nearly all the men were for Harrison and Morton. When the person alleged to have been inter viewed denied ever making such a statement and declared that it was not true, a withdrawal was made which was as bad as the original offence, inasmuch as it still left the impression that a majority of the employes were for Harrison and Morton, whereas by far the larger , part of . them declare that they are for Cleveland and Thurman and will work earnestly for their election. iV. Y. Times, Ind. Hep. The policy of the protection ists is to enable a few favored mono lies so to advance the prices of their productions, by taxes taken directly from the pockets of the American masses, that foreign produots of the same sort cannot compete with them in our market, and that in con6e quence labor in foreign countries is cheapened and driven out of employ ment in a great measure.! This for eign cheap labor then drifts to the United States, where it is employed at once by the protected monopolies, and thus "cuts under" native Ameri can labor, and accordingly the mo nopolies profit in both: directions while the home labor market is as saulted simultaneously in front and in rear. This heartless and unpatri otic dealing with the bone and sinew of our own nation should be stopped forthwith. The entire reformation of our iniquitous and inequitable tariff system is the crying and press ing need of the hour. N. T. Com. Adv., Ind. Rep, ' . A Word in Time. New Yoik Herald.

Aossciated Press. ' BERLIN. August 18 Emneror William lunched to-day at the headquarters of the First Infantry Guards, and made another energetic speech m response to a toast to his health, proposed by Col. Petersen, Al tnouga the affair was strictly private, it has transpired that the Emperor's remarks were mainly a repetition of bis speech at Frankfort. He said that Germany would seep wnai sne - naa gamed, and also ex pressed his eonviction that the army was able to meet all comers. A semi-official account say that the Emperor, in giving a wast io iub regiment, reierrea to the train ing he himself had received In its run fen and to the services which the regiment had renaerea tne country in cultivating old Prussian traditions as an example to the army. The language of Emperor William although no immediate menace, is not to be attributed to his habit of expressing himself bluntly. His speech at Frankfort was premeditated If not verbally prepared. The Emperor's ire has been excited by al- T" . .... iuo itusBian government permitting or in citing the- press to raise the Schleswig Holstein question, with the additional con tention that the Czar, as the representative Of the house of Holstein-Onttnrrnf. minima special rights to support the claims of Den- war&. in a semi-official communication the Coogne Gazette says: "Schleswig-Hol ?.tJi.c.aL,?,-?5Pftratd to" Germany "uoBia ana ranee as the at tackine nations. We take note that, from Russian diplomatic sources It is clearly an nounced that in the event of a successful campaign Denmark wonld share in the booty and take part in the conflict." .The North German Gazette also com plains that the statement regarding the claims of Denmark should first appear in the Nord, a paper which is at the disposal of Jthe Russian government in the direction of the aueat in which the omciais or tne Russian foreign offices are engaged. The tone of the semi-official press on this occasion does not fully express the anger felt in the highest circles toward the wanton revival of a buried question. ; The Emperor's allusions to the achievements of Prince Frederick Charles pointed to more than his French victories. The Prince distinguished himself in the Schleswig- Hotstein war of 1848. and the Danish war of 1861. Blunt I and impromptu as the Emperor William's Manguaga seemed, it struck effectively all around. The press concurs in regretting I the futility of the Peterhorf and oher ! visits. It says that within four weeksTifter the interview be tween the Czar and Emperor William, the tension of the situation threatens Europe more than ever. j TREASURE IN HEAVEN. JOHN O. BAXB.

But if the day of opportunity for this higher self-education is turned into a day of demoralizing frivolity; a day of amusement and pleasure to the wealthy and of harder work for the poor; a day in which principle is undermined, sturdy self- conquest rendered leas possible, and self sacrifice for tbe sake; of others unfashiona ble then, little an I! sympathize with rigid Sabbatarianism, I would prefer to become a grim Puritan rather jhan aid in any move ment wnicn weaaenea tne moral nore or rendered less keen the sense of brotherly love in the community.

Hobday preached to bis ! congregation in Berkley from the text, "All things work together for good to them that love God," and three days later h;s church was destroyed by fire. The afflicted little flock gathered around tbe pastor and asked: "How is this. Brother Hobday is this for our good?" "Yes,- replied the pastor, "of course it is for yoUr good.") They went to wcrk to collect money to build another church, and placed it ($1,000) for safe keepting in the Exchange Bank or Norfolk, and a few days laterrthat bans broke. The discouraged little nock once more visited their pastor and said: "How is this about the bank going down with our money in it is that for our good?" j "Of course it is for your good, brethren, . said Brother Hobday.

Washington. Aug. 18. The resolution concerning the erection of electric overhead Wires for a street railway was taken up. j Mr. Morcan spose or an electric street railway in operation for the last two years in Montgomery, Ala. He said the over head wires were great encumbrances to the streets, and excessively dangerous. : Tbe Governor or Aiaoama recently, nearly lost his life by his horse stepping on a fallen wire, the horse being instantly killed. Bince then the citizens of Montgomery have been gineerly in their patronage of the road, and were trying to get rid of the electric power and suDsutuie none power or cable power. After a lonar discussion, during which the danger to life from overhead wires was set forth, the matter went over until to morrow, i The Senate then, under the order of yes terday, went into open executive session on the fisheries treaty, and the question being on Mr. Morgan's resolution to postpone till December next, me resolution was dis- agreed to yeas 24, nays 27. Air. Keagan tooK tne noor to speak on the President's annual message. Mr. Allison desiring action on the con ference report on the Army Appropriation bill, represented the necessiiy for disposing of appropriation bills in preference to other matters for which there was no immediate pressure. He said that six weeks of the current fiscal year had already passed by without any regular appropriations for the army. He would not. however, insist upon going on with the conference report now. except with the assent of the Senator from Texas. I Mr. Reagan said that he would not delay action on tbe conference report more than an hour, and he preferred to proceed with his remarks now, and did so. The conference report of the Army Ap propriation bill was tben taken up.and after discussion by Messrs. Gorman, Chandler Allison. Beck, iiawley, Davis and numb. was concurred in yeas 30. nays 11. The House Fortification bill was present ed nd w is rjferred to tho Committee o Appropriations. The senate tben at 4-10 p m went into open executive session on the fisheries trea ty, and the presiding officer directed that the treaty be read by sections. The first ar ticle having been read, Mr. Gibson rose to address the Senate. I Mr. Hoar inquired whether the reading of the treaty by articles ought not to ba continued until some amendment was of fered to the particular article, when of course that amendment would ba debated. The presiding lofflcer directed the rule bearing on that question to be read. Mr. Gibson then proceeded with his remarks. After speaking half an hour he moved that tbe pending treaty oe committed to tbe Committee on Foreign Relations, with instructions to report such amend ments to the treaty as would remove ambi guities and remedy derects in it, or else to report a plan of arbitration for determina tion and settlement of all difficulties in connection with the fisheries. 1 Mr. Frye remarked that there did not seem to be much more debate to take place on the treaty, and he asked unanimous consent to an order that all debate on tbe treaty shall be closed Monday evening next, and that votes on the treaty and on such amendments as might be proposed to it, should commence at 12 o'clock Tuesday next.- ( Mr. Morgan We will take that proposi tion under advisement till to morrow. The Senate then at 5:60 adjourned, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES Mr. Morrill, of Kansas, called up the resolution f previously reported from the Committee on Invalid Pension?, assigning May 2nd and 3rd for the consideration of general pension legislation, with a proposed amendment changing the dates to August 26th and 30th. Mr. Morrill gave a resume of the various measures of general xhar- acter which had been reported from the Committee on Invalid Pensions, and nisad the necessity of fixing a time for their con sideration.! Mr. Morrill demanded the jrovicuj question, and the vote resulted yeas 116, nays 7 no quorum, and , a call of the House was ordered. : ' t The roll call showed the presence of 174 members, and the morning hour bay ing expired the resolution went over. j Mr. springer attempted to secure con federation j of tho! Oklahoma bill, but the point of no quorum was raised against him and he was forced to abandon the attempt, j I Then Mr. Burns, of Missouri, brought forward the Deficiency Appropriation bill, and moved that tbe House go into Com mittee of the Whole for its consideration, but on division the point of no quorum was raised by Mr. Lyman, of Iowa, and a call of the roll failed to procure the re quisito number, the vote standing yeas 114, nays 8. I Another call of the House was ordered. which, betas taken, showed an attendance of 153 member j, ten less than a quorum. ur. weaver, of lowa. thereupon made a motion revoking all leaves of absence ex cept those eranted on account of sickness, the revocation to take effect after the expi ration of five days. Much opposition was manifested to this action, it being contended that such revocation wouli work an injus tice to members who had left the city, rely ing upon their leaves of absence. j Mr. Blount, of Georgia, thought that there was no occasion for the harsh and unseemly measure proposed by the geutle man from Iowa, The reason that there were so many absentees was that the House had little business to transact, and could be ready for adjournment within three days. On motion of Mr. Cox. of New York. jar. weaver s motion was tabled. Mr. Weaver gave notice that he would. on Monday next, if the House was without a quorum, renew his motion. Mr. Burns, of Missouri, in moving to ad journ, expressed his regret that at this late day of tbe session consideration had been refused to the general appropriation bill, in wnicn ten thousand veteran Union soldiers were interested. He blamed nobody, but ne gave notice that be would, from day to day, as long as be was able to stand up on his feet, demand consideration of the Defl ciency bill, i The House at 4.15 adjourned.

The Senate at 2.15 took no the fishery treaty in open executive session, the pend ing question oeing on tne motion submit ted yesterday oy ur. tiibson. t Mr. 1? rye asked unanimous consent for an order of the Senate that at one o'clock each day debate on the treaty shall proceed, and shall close on Monday next at six o'clock, friends of the treaty having the last two hours, and that on Tuesday next. at la o ciock, nnai votes snail ne taken i on all amendments, motions and the resolution or ratification. i Presiding Officer Is there objection?

There was no quorum voting on I his motion, and so the roll of Senators was called, when only w senators responded.

Washington, Aug. 18 Tbe Senate is not in session to-day. j 1 HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE . J A general discussion of the subj' ct of Chinese immigration occupied about four hours, and digressed to various colUUral issues. In tbe course of one or there di gressions Mr. Bvnum. of Indiana, attack ed tbe Republican party for itsfailire in years past to stop the importation of con tract labor. It had favored the opening of doors to cheap labor, but wanted the.m closed on cheap goods. He also attacked the record of the Republican party in re gard to legislation upon the question of Chinese immigration, and declared that the Republican candidate for the Presidency, while in the Senate, had not only vot;d against bills to restrict or suspend Chinese immigration, but had voted in favor of every amendment which conferred greater freedom and rights upon tbe Chinese, It was true that General Harrison had de clared that he had opposed the bills be cause he had considered them in violation of the treaty stipulations, but with due re gard for Gen. Harrison, he would say mat sucn ex post jacto state ments, made when there iwere visions of the White House, however dim and re mote, floating around, must; be taken cum grano salts. - Un the other band, Mr. Thurman bad declared himself in the Senate as in favor of the! restriction of Chinese immigration, cr even its absolute inhibition. The secret of the opposition of General Harrison and his parly associates to the Chinese bill, which bad been vetoed by President Arthur, was that Chinese labor was cheap and profitable; and con tractor?, manufacturers and I mine owners. who had always controlled the Republican party, .wanted it It was not because General Harrison and his I associates be lieved the bill to be in violatioil of the ex isting treaty that they opposed it, but be cause they believed that Chinese laborers should have the right to come to this eountry. not only to labor, but to vote, to bold cmee, and to govern as: well as to be governed General Harrison now said Jas a further excuse, that he did not under stand the question at the time, but he had since learned all about it, and was all right now. ur all subterfuges this was the shallowest. During the campaign General Harrison might declare from the 6tutnp that tbe standard of labor must be main tained, but nobody could find that during the Chinese debate in the Senate he had evtr spoken a word of sympathy for the wage worker of America, v I I Mr. Owen, of Indiana, replied to wba he characterized as a special address to the voters of Indiana, made by his colleague. and denied the charges made by that gen tleman as to the roccrd of the Republican party and its standard bearer, General Harrison, upon tbe Chinese 1 question. Io reply to one of Mr. Bynum's charges, j to the effect mat in iau several chinamen had been naturalized in Indianapolis, and had voted the Republican ticket, presum ably with the knowledge of General Harri son, he read a telegram just received from General Harrison's law partner, denying that he had ever heard of such a thing, i In regard to another charge that General Har rison had read before the Literary Society a paper in which he advocated free and unrestricted immigration of Chinese, he said that General Harrison, i over his own signature, had denied having done any such thing. His colleague, in closing his speech with a flourish of tongue and waving i of hand, peculiar to the Hoosier orator, had said that every Democrat could cast his vote for this bill without swallow- ins: Lis words or stultifying his re cord. In reply to that he would call attention to Mr. Dingley's statement that duiing the 46th Congress, which was De mocratic in both houses, the Democratic party had taken no action upon the Chinese question. The gentleman's speech sought to impress the public mind with tbe thought that the Republican party was in ravor or the importation of Chinese! labor because it was cheap and pauper labor. ; The party that was born out of certain great moral necessities, which had saved the greatest and grandest nation that the sun had eyer shone upon, waa not a party in favor of the importation of Chinese or any other sort of pauper labor. The gentleman had charged .that General Harrison had voted against every bill to restrict or control Chinese immigration. Ho denied that charee. General Harrison had opposed the Chinese bill, but the basis of his oppo sition had been that it was in violation of treaty obligations. While General Harri son had taken that position, and stood by it manfully, he had not indicated by any act or word that he was in favor of Chi nese immigration. General Harrison had said that he stood for the honor of his go- ernment, and that the treaty should be en forced in letter and in spirit, until by pro per action it should be abrogated. In that position General Harrison had shown him self so broad in his statesmanship, so true to real American interests, so straightfor- wara ano consistent in his course, that when at Chicago the people : of the Pacific coast could not get their first choice, that grandest leader of America Jame G. Blaine they gave their votes solidly to Benjamin Harrison, and said that his re cord was squarely for the interests of Ame ricans on the Chinese question. Gen. Har rison was not in favor of Chinese immigra tion, but against it; but he was in favor of maintaining the government honor. The life utterances the whole character of Benjamin Harrison, was in favor of that which was called instinctively the Ameri can idea. AppiauBe on tbe Republican siae. Pending further debate, the House at o'clock adjourned. j j HUGHES' TONIC Cebtaut Bbmedt fob I Chills and Fever. 7" v IT WILL j Cure tie Most OMaate Cases.
