NEW HAMP SHIRE.

The Republican State Conventi' n, Of
New Hampshire, held some days since
nominated Hon. E. &. Straw Of Man
chester, for Governor, and Wm- A. ).
Tvitchel, of Gorham, for Canal Com
missioner. Notwithstanding the con-
test between the rival candidates for
Governor was very bitter, the proceed
ings of the convention were quite har-
monious. Mr. Straw has had consider
able business and legislative experience,
and will make a Governor worthy OF
the "old Granite state" Gov. Weston,
has been re-nominated, and the Demo-
Gratis are quite sanguine of electng
him by the popular vote this year.
The Labor Reform party, and the Tenn
perance men, have each a candidate In
the field, which will do much to COM
plicats matters and place the result of
the election in extreme doubt The
canvass, will be an exciting one, and
as the election is the first of the state
elections, preceding the Presidential
election this year, it will be regarded
as an important indication of the drift

With all the Boosting we make over

$500, OH illiterats persons in the Tn

one in eight of the entire population.
This mass of ignorance is distributed
as follows: In the Northern States
800, 1T, in the Pacific States and Ter
ritories Is 1888, and in the Southern
States 4, III, $50. Among the latter
of course, the greatest proportion are
blacks. In view of this great number
of unsducated In our country, and es-
pecially in the Southern States, it
would seem that no time should be lost

IF this matter of educating the masses
in the South is neglected, Ignorance
will inevitably increase, aud some day

Committee to report bill for the re-
peal of the Income Tax, and to include
the past year, was voted down by 81 to

that it reaches the clear profits of money

The seHoIne RULE In Ireiand.

The agitation Of the question Of

the Cd Repeal agitation that reach
ed such immense proportions and at
tracted so much attention and sympa-

nation and rapid growth Of this organ
ization is an encouraging feature OF
Irish politics. Since the disruption OF
the Repeal Association, by the Sscess-
ion of a portion Of its members to join
in the miserable and aboitive revolu
ton of 1913, no respectable political
party has succeeded in arousing fruc-
tifying enthusiasm, or an extended ma
tional support. Unprincpled men and
batherskite orators have, it is true,
preyed upon the patriotic warmth and
generous impulses of lrishmen here
and 10 Ireland, under the u Sc Of na-
tional aspirations but they did not IN
tend, nor were they capable, in the event
of complete success, Of effecting any sa-
Iutary Improvement IN the condition of
the Irish people The present move

A considerable degree of interest
has been manifested througout the coun-
try over the reports of the New York
Custom House Investigation, cond ac;ed
By Congressional Committee, in order
to see ifthere wsre any tangible ground
for the Wholesale charge of corruption
made BY the aati-Grant Journals against
Grant or his Administration Thus
far there has been no evidence to con-
Wet Grant or his ADM nistratien with
any Of the frauds or Irregularities.
They have goue on under every proceed
Tag Administration, and assumed the
form of an established custom, the

thought of interrupting. President
