The early warm weather. however. has un
doubtedly pushed forward the spring trade a

or even later.
In several o. the large hotels It is noticed tba
buyers from Western houses. who used to soI

The increased competition in all branches o

IRISH ALLIES OF EUROPE.

\ mysterious Russian vessel has appear
ed in the port of New York and curiosity
is suggesting her mission. 1t is said the
vessel brought to America agents of the
Gar charged with the duty of enlisting
Irish volunteers and fitting out Irish man
ned vessels to prey upon British commerce.
An arrangement has been made--so the ru-
nor goes-by which Ruasia will secure a
corps of between fifty and sixty thousand
Irish men who will take the field against
England when the first gun has been fired
O'Donovan Rosa, the great Fcnian, said, on
the I'd inst, that one hundred thousand of
his countrymcn could be placed in the field
within fortnight, and when the time came
for them to strike there would be music in
the air. Gen. Burke says that the Irish
Nationals will strike at the proper time,
and that the battle will not be fought in
Canada. "We will fight he said, ION
Irish soil" From signs in the air. we are
led to the conclusion that there will be
Irish music in the air if England and Rus
sia come 10 blows.

MR. BURR'S HOPE.

Mr.. J. Gill Burr, Of Murphysboro, Jack
son county, is an amiablc gentleman Of
a good temper and a very bald head. His
most prominent weakness is q disposition
to indulge in the pleasure Of hope. He
likes them. They are consolation to him
in his darkest hours. They follow him in
his walks about Murphysboro-cat with
him and sleep with him. Without the
pleasures Of hope he would be miserable.
The other day they accompanied him to
Chicago and broke loose in little speech
he made, at the Grand Pacific Hotel, to the
Republican State Central Committee, When
the Eighteenth Congressional District was
called, Mr.. Burr rose upon the committee
and said that the Republicans would carry
this district at the approaching election.
He said the Republicans would do this, but
he meant that he hoped they would. He
certainly did not pretend to predict
the future with certainty, because he
is neither a prophet nor the son Of one
But, we do not regret to say, that Mr. Burr
hope will be disappointed. We are enough

MR.. HARTZELL AND THE SOUTH
ERN WAR CLAIMS QUESTION.

The Republicans damn a Democrat if he
does, and damn him if he doesn't. If a Dem
ocrat says nothing on the subject Of South
ern war claims, they jump to the conclusion
that he is anxious TO bankrupt the national
treasury by paying all the money in it to
the Southern people who have no right to a
penny; but, when Democrat declares that
he is opposed to the payment of such
claims, all the Republican newspapers i'm
mediately denounce him as an arrant dema-
goguc. The Nashville Gll.) Journal, dis
cussing Mr.. William Hartzell's proposed
amendment to the Constitution of the Unit
ed States forbidding the payment of South
ern war claims, in the most uncompliment-
airy phrase, calls that gentleman one of the
most blatant demagogues in Congress.
HE knows perfectly well, says the Jour
nal, that no such proposition will ever
secure the support of three-fourths of the
State legislatures, but he is in very close
district-one that sent more soldiers into
the army than any other in the State--and
he hopes to make some home capital by
this move"
1t is unnecessary to say that this is very
unfair criticism. Mr.. Hartzell happens to
believe, as the journal man does, that
Southern war claims should not be paid,
and, to give emphasis to this belief, pro-
poses a constitutional amendment forbid
ding the payment of them. He probably
knew that his amendment could not be
adopted-that in no possible way, could
it secure the approval of the requisite num-
Der of states; but this is no good reason why
he should not have proposed it. The states
man of convictions does not stop to consid
er whether legislation he believes neces-
sary to the welfare of the state will be
adopted; and history proves that very often
suggested legislation that would have result
cdin blessings to the people, has been defeat
ed and those suggesting it hooted by
foolish or dishonest men.
Mr.. Hartzell understands the temper of
the the voters upon the Southern war
claims question, and can well afford
to endure the abuse of pretended friends
and open enemies.
