NOT THE MAN.

We have been informed of an error in
circulation, tending to interfere with that
repose of mind we take so much com
fort in, to injurc our appetite and per-
haps cause us bodily pain.
Being editor of the Irish Department
of The ANTI MONoPOLIsT, some people,
ignorant of the lamb like characteristics
of our nationality, have given out, that
we are the fighting editor, of this paper.
No such thing.
From our earliest infancy we have had
! horror of what. Bob Acres calls ''double
barrel swords and cut and thrust
pistols" and we would prefer, any day,
to stop the papers of ten able bodied
men than the blow of the most diminu-
tive subscriber.
But you are not to suppose from this
admission that The ANTI MONOPOLIsT,
with nc. fighting editor, is left ''naked to
it's enemies" 1t has a fighting editor,
but he is always out. 1t is well for you
when you come into the office, in pas
sion, that you find he is out.
He is terrible fellow and has all his
teeth worn down to the stumps, from
grinding them.
The ANTI MoNoroLIsT pays him by
measurement; that is, when he whips a
man, say, six feet high, he is paid Tor
two yards of whipping
He was in great hopes, at one time.
that MIR. Blakely one of the distinguish
ed editors of the Pioneer-Press, might
fall foul OF THE ANEI- MoNoPOLIsT. If
he had he would have been paid tor
about three running yards.

This association, formed under such
cheering auspices, is now fully organ

looking to the comfort, health and pros
perity of our prairie settlers, OF greater
importance. All honor to the men who
were the pioneers in tree culture in this
state, and by example showed how prac-
ticable it was for the settler on q treeless
prairie, to beautity and shelter his home
within a few years, with groves of
healthy timber, the very thinning out OF
which would supply him with plenty OF
fuel; and all honor to those who follow
ing the good example set TO them. have
organized the Minnesota State Forestry
Association, with the good object OF en-
couragng tree culture on our prairies.
Many questions OF great Importance,
in this connection. have already been
taken under consideration by the society
and the debates arising therefrom have
brought out much valuable information

ENClANO'S WEAKNESS AS A MILITARY
POWER.

The London correspondent the Irish
World gives the following calculations
of Earl Grey, in regard to the military
force at the command of England.
Earl Grey, once prime minister of
England, has come out "untowardly"
upon the Tory scheme for organizing a
grand army. He says all the army they
can put together will not come up 70
100 900 men. They shall require 40 900
tor foreign contingencies rather more. 1
think. by aud by and they will then
have but $4,000 for England and sc, 900
| for Ireland. This calculation, he saws.
is made upon the most favorable con-
| struction OF their recruiting reports
But he doesn't believe the reports OF the
recruiting Off He thinks they are
| largely iuterpoiated with falsehoods be-
tween their figures. He doesn't think
they have altogether fifty thousand real
| soldiers at their command for England
Ireland. and foreign service. As to the
reserve. about which the late Govern
ment made SO much ado, he does moi
| think they amount TO seven thous and
men. and if called tor by any sudden
emergency 1.-The half of them could no,
be iound.'

THE NIGHT OF THEIBic WIND"
Says the TOLEDO REVIEW:
Last Thursday night marked the thir-
ty-eighth anniversary of an historical
event which many of our older readers
will readily call to mind. That fatal
9th of January, 1888, went out with the
midnight hour and carried with it des-
truction to property and desolation and
death to many hearth-stone. Such
storm as ragged over all the high seas
and coasts bordering on them has never
for violence and extent, been Known.
Especially was the storm severe off the
west coast of Ireland. The salt spray
Of the ocean was gathered up in the
arms of the atmospheric monster and
carried inland with such force, that,
three miles from the coast the inhabit-
ants believed that they were being Wis.,
tied by heavy rain storm. The dan
ger to shipping and sea-coast property
was terrific, and the loss OF life was
trightfnl. The Might OF the Big Wind"
ever afterward was recognized OH both
sides of the ocean as the 9th of Jan.
1888.

NEW METHOD OF REDUCING
ORES.

The San Francisco Post of Tuesday
contains the following:
A scientific member of q foundry firm
in Philadelphia has made what is sup
posed to be q great discovery connected
with the extraction of precious metals
from their ores. The rock is FIRST broken
to about the size of turkey eggs. and is
mt into q crusher, which, though not
larger than an ordinary piano, is capa-
BILE of pulverizing 10 to % tons per dav.
The means by which the crushing is
effected are not stated. but the result is
said to be satisfactory, and since only
ono man il employed it costs little. After
being reduced to q powder the ore is put
into tho top of a vertical iron cylinder Is
TO 20 feet long, divided into three equal
commitments connected by Waived aper-
lures. This cylinder is set in brickwOrk.
and when in use is surrounded by fame.

chamber it goes to the lower division. IN
tho top of which it is subjected to a
white heat, and as it falls to the bottom
to cool it is again impregnated with
quicksilver. After being cooled the ore
thus prepared is amalgamated in pans in
about four hours. 1t is asserted that
owing to the tightness of the valves there
is very little loss of quicksilver. The
total expense of reduction works OF the
kind described, including the royalty
claim, il only about 81. 600. For months
past, ores from Virginia and North Car
olins have been successfully worked IN
Philadelphia, and two or three times
more gold Was saved. it il said. than
ever vas before. The cost of working a
ton Of ore il 81 SO, and the owners OF
the patent guarantee that the yield shall

of being cast into the shade by this new
system OF Lightning Amalgamation.

A MAINE-IAC.

The Picayune calls attention to the fact
that several natives of Maine have been
appointed to Office, and have accepted
the appointment. That journal evidently
continues to think a nativity north of
Mason and Dixon's line disqualification
for political Office. We have noticed,
with pleasure, the just commentator
which the Picayalne bestows upon Mr..
Daniel bennett, who has devoted the
summer season to canvassing the State in
the interest of white immigrants and
small farming. MIR. bennett is, if we
mistake not, native of Maine, long resi-
dent in Louisiana, and bound to So
ciety by the most substantial ties. The
rule Of the Picayune would exclude him
from the political confidence of this peo-
ple." 1t would be, perhaps, imprudent
to advise the small farmers of the eli
matte disqualifcations which accom-.
pany them, but in common humanity
they should be informed that if thev
bring their Republican politics with
them, they may find difficulty in getting
into the society of their neighbors, with
possibly other consequences of q more
serious nature. Our otherwise amiable
contemporary is Maine-iac on this SUBJ
ject, and has been evidently exasperated
by the Republican triumph in the Maine
elections,

THE PICAYUNE A LAST DITCHER,

The Picaysne has essayed a question
addressed to the Last Ditch press. In this
it has avowed itself of that interesting
political variety, and is entitled to q re-
spectful consideration. The momentous
question is
Why did not the Democratic House of
Representatives pass bill repeating the
insurrection, law passed during the wait
1t is presumed by the Picayune "that
laws are not made by one house of Con-
gress. If the respondent will look again
it will perceive that the Democratic House
was not expected to enact "a law" but to
''pass bill" for the repeal of unconstitu-
tional or uncomfortable provisions of the
law of insurrection. The Picayune in
forms us that
If the Democratic majority in the lower
house had been untrammeled by the neces-
sity of cooperation, very many bad or IN
necessary laws might have been repealed,
and many wholesome laws passed.
Why, then, did the Democratic House
pass any bill in which the Republican
Senate might not cooperate? It is the

EUR0PE,s BALANCE OF POWER.

The reason why the Eastern question

tional "balance of power which has been
SO conspicuous a feature Of international
policy since the days Of Charlemagne'
but whose provisions are founded neither
upon high moral principles, nor inherent
right Born of distrust and jealousy, the
balance of power amounts simply to a
grand combination which has for its malo
purposes the discouragement OF revolo-
ton on the part of the oppressed, and re-
sistance to encroachment on the part OF
the ambitious. The various powers
pledged themselves to maintain the IN

REPUBLICAN PRIMARY ELECTIONS TO-

hEP UbLlCAN fHlMAh1 6A6O44VNO AV-
MORROW. q
Tomorrow the Republicans will hold
elections in all the wards for delegates to
what are termed in the call of the parish
committee Representative district conven-
tons. The basis of representation in
these conventions is one delegate to every
one hundred Republican voters in each
ward, etc. These conventions-there will
be fourteen of them-will meet at the
places designated in the call on Thurs
day next, and will nominate Republican
candidates for the House, and for justices
and constables where the justice wards
are co-extensive with the Representative
districts. They will also elect delegates
to parish and city convention on basis
of one delegate to every five hundred Re-
publican votes, and one for every fraction
above two hundred and fifty. This will
give convention of Twenty-Five delegates,
who will nominate all general city and
parish officers, if, indeed, the Republicans
determine to put ticket in the field.
This plan for the election of conven-
ton, which was submitted by Judge
Dibble and adopted by the parish COM
mittee, is something new, and, if we are
not mistaken, it will secure the selection
Of class of men as delegates who will do
credit to the party. At all events it will
not be possible under this system for the
innocent and inexperienced young men to
run entirely away with the party, as seems
likely to happen to the Democracy of New
Orleans
We hope that every Republican will
carefully study the call of the parish COM
mittee, and that the best men in the differ
eat wards will be sent to the different
local conventions.
