Grand Fenian Demonstration.
Some three thousand Fenians Of the
Sweeny and Roberts side of the Irish Re
public questlon--as against the O'Mahony
side of the quarrel-met at Mozart Hall,
Cincinnati, on Wednesday evening, and
had an enthusiastic time, Col. Steve. Nc
Groarty presided, who introduced Gen.
Sweeny, who Is represented by the Com
merefdi as beinga straight, rather slender.
soldierly looking man, apparently about
thirty-iive years old. Like most soldiers,
he is a poor speaker, but what lac has TO say
he delivers with terseness and pith re-
mdt&able of military men. lie was dressed
In military blue frock coat with two rows
of brass buttons on the front, and carried
himself with soldierly grace quite becom
| ing his position. His right sleeve Is empty,
and as It hung loose by his side It sug-
gested still more than his military bearing
his profession rs a soldier.
President Roberts was next introduced
and followed In q characteristic speech
like that of Col. Sweeny-full of Irish elo-
quence and stirred with Irish enthusiasm.
Capt. Walsh followed and concluded and,
from what all the papers say, no such dem
onstration for Irish Nationality has been
made since the days Of Daniel O'Connel
What Is TO come of all such movements
rs these, East and West, and even South, is
beyond our conjecture. That there Is All
earnestness governing them, however, we
can not doubt, for the organization X too
formidable and comprehensive to be re-
gardod as mere Irish cbullti0n OF super
abundant enthusiasm.
NEwsPApERs.--There is, perhaps, not
more prolific source OF grllmbling among
certain class of people, than newspapers.
They are never satisfied with the paper
4 they get, no matter how often they may
change it. II is too large or too small too
dull or too lively; has too much read
ing or not enough; It is never right
This class, however, Is comparatively small
Most men have the good Judgment and dis
cernment 10 see the advantages growing
out of the publication Of one or more news
papers in their midst. They know that
these cheap vehicles of thought and in
formation are indispensable to the business
and prosperity of every community, and
the grumblers, too, would soon be con-
WINGED of the same thing If they were
compelled TO do without them for a single
month or week.
Newspapers, by enhancing the value of
property In their neighborhood, and giving
the localities IN which they are published
a reputation abroad, benefit all classes,
particularly merchants, mechanics, man
ufacturers, real-estate owners and business
men OF every kind, ten times the amount
yearly of the meager sum they pay for sub
scrlptions and advertising, besides, every
public spirited citizen has a laudable pride
in having paper of which he is not
ashamed even II he should pick II up In
New York or Washington. hIeiE
A good looking, thriving sheet helps to
sell property, gives character TO the local
/ ity, and, IN all respects, Is a desirable pub
; lie convenience. If from any cause the
matter In the local or editorial columns
should not be quite UP 10 your standard,
do not east II aside and pronounce It no ac-
count until you are satisfied that there has
been no more labor bestowed upon II than
has been paid for II you want good
readible sheet IL must be supported And
il must not be supported in n spirit of
charity, either, but because you feel a ne
ccssity TO support It. The local press is the
"power that moves the people"
