The message OF Gov Young appears to meet with can
avors, even from his party. The Express picks
it through column OF suppressed spite, and the Courier
disnisses il with the remakof
that it sis exceedingly brief, and entirely unmporan
Its total silence many important questions of State poll

pleasure continuation--unseemly and dscreditable
of the 'mum" game by which he obtained his election
One recommendation, however find general
namely that the legislature should admit mis-
taken economy in fixing the salaries of the Judges be
elected under the constitution This is sound advice
and ought to be needed 1t is a wretched bunder tn

These amounts lin my opinon) would bear the addition OF
another 81 900. What lawyer in this city Mt to SIT in the

merchant of this city, well known FOR his extensive
active benevolense, Mr. Jacob Harvey, states in
Courier that he has taken the pains call upon all the
houses in this city who in the daily practice of drawing
small drafts Ireland for remittance by the Irish residents
here and has received from them accurate return
of the received for these small drafts during
the entire 1886 and also during the last sixty days.
The result of his inquiries is striking. He says; "Tota

ring 1886 from New York, 803 0OO ofwhch there in
November and December 1886 Sl75,OOO" He observes
''These emtances to all parts Of Ireland and by
every packet and may judge of the relief afforded to
large number Of poor families in year. when they
are cut short of their usual food, the potato"
The Courier adds of its hearty and enthusiastic para
graphs the ''wamheared Irs" and holds up the fact
for the general admiration. This all most just Without
public meetings, without noise without show without eff
any kind but quietly and silently Heaven sends

The sTribune" of this morning has an ominous para
graph:
