We believe that o reduction Of the number
Of useless Office holders and q more rigid

2. We are in favor of making the Ju
dietary a free and independent department
Of the government; and placing it beyond
the influence and control Of the Legsla
ture.
8. We are in favor Of constitutional
guarantees to a liberal aud effective free
school system; providing at the same time
for its honest and economical admiuistra
ton.
4. We are in favor of q constitutions

Of the State in the construction Of works
Of internal improvement.
5. We are in favor Of a prohibition il
the constitution against tho enactment o
tcs, oaths and proscriptive legislation,
6. We are in favor Of equal and fa!
representation in the government, basct
upon population:
7. We are in favor Of taxation based up
on property, and believe thatno c.ptatior
tax should be imposed, which will beal
opprcssively upon the people.
5. We believe that tue Legislature shoulc
meet only once in two years and that thu
time thereof should be occupied in the en-
actmcnt Of wholesome laws for the gencr

cases, by the courts, under the provisions
Of general laws.
We believe that wise reform Of th'

greatly ,couduce to the welfare and honor
of the State.

The New Hampshire legislature ad
journed ON Saturday, not having accom-
plished the amount of mischief to the
republicans of that State, which the dem
ocratic members intended. The impeach.
ment of Senator Smith was given up,
and as a substitute, various democrats OF
the State have published affidavits OF
how they visited Mr.. Smith before his
election, and that he promised to support
their party schemes if elected, DC. On
the last day Of the session Mr.. Smith
made an explanation in the Senate in
which he denied the statements contain
ed in these afiidavits, except that he
would support Weston for governor,
which he had done. The republicans
gave him cane to wind up with, on the
ground we presume that he had done
them so much less mischief than might
have been expected, and neither party
will be likely to want anything more OF
him.

The battle of the Boyne-j Just brought
into fresh note by the riots in New York
last week was fought July 1st 1890.
On that day the Catholic Irish fought for
James III. one of the S,uarls who was
king or claiming to king of England,
against William Third, the Prince Of
Orange, who also claimed and had been
king defacto for two year,, and whose
army was composed of protestant Irish,
English, French refugees, Germans &c.
James III. watched the battle at safe
distance, and when he saw his army de-
feated ran for Dublin where he was
among the first to arrive with the disas-
trous news, and where he made brief
speech denouncing Irish soldiers and
then continued his flight to France. In
that speech he said he had good soldiers
in England but they were not royal, and
that though he had plenty of royal SOL
.diers in Ireland, they had not the courage
to fight. Such in substance was the in
sulting language of the king for whom
the Irish fought 1.-THE battleof the Boyne,

as the ground strewn with the dead bod
