Ireland is certainly on the verge of
revolution, as the present state of af-
fairs cannot exist much longer with
out inducing fight, or the enforce
ment of strict coercive measures by
the English government. A London
dispatch says:
1t is clear to most people that the
queens government no longer has an
existence in the sister island, but has
been superseded at least for the pres
ent by the land league whose DEGREES
are now promulgated in open day, ex-
ecuted with promptitude and vigor
and respected implicitly. The land
league, as by the way it did in 1913,
has opened its own law courts for
trials Of cases and disputes and the or
binary tribunals might as well be
closed because no witnesses will APP
pear to testify before them nor will
any of the .juries convict.

"Gen. Anderson, the chief engineer.

of the surveyed line of the Northern
Pacific road from the end of the track
In Dakota, west Of Bismark, to point
where the work of construction is pro-
crossing on the Pen d'Oreille division
In eastern Washington Territory. He
pronounces the entire line singularly
feasible one, the highest mountain al
titude being 5000 feet lower than Sher-
man on the Union Pacific, and pre-
diets that the road will he pushed to
completion by the end of 1888. His
faith inthe value of the company's
land grant west Of Bismark has been
greatly strengthened by his overland
journey and critical examination of
the resources of the northern belt.r

The latest news concerning the now

the following associated press dispatch
from New York:
leading member Of the republican
national committee is authority for
saying that the committee through
John |. Davenport is slowly but surely
getting at the bottom of the Morey
letter and that evidence has already
been obtained showing that the letter
was not prepared by one person with
out any accomplices but was the re-
suit OF a carefully conceived scheme
on the part Of a prominent democratic
editor in Washington with the knowI-
edge Of leading democratic managers.
The committee has conclusive proof as
70 who wrote the letter but before
making it public wants to fasten the
infamy. CONNECTED with it upon the
men who conceived the forgery and
employed willing tools to execute it.

Ghe 9aiIg Assas,
Gen. Garfeld's Credit Mobnsr Reoor

Gen GarfsId's Credit Mobilsr Record.
From his own sworn testimony before the Poland
Commute, Jan. a. 1878.
I never owned, received, or agreed 30
receive any stock OF the Credit Mobiler or
of the Union Pacific Railroad, MOI any
dividends or profits arising from either Of
them.
From Judge Poland's report Feb. Is, 1s73-Gar-
fields testimony perIared
The facts in regard to Dir. Garfield. as
found by the committee. are that he
agreed with Mr.. Ames to take ten shares
of Credit Mobilier stock, but did not pay
for the same. MIR. Ames received the
eighty per cent: dividend in bonds and
sold them for ninety-seven per cent. and
also received the sixty per cent cash dlvI-
dend, which, together with the price OF the
stock and interest, left balance OF 1928.
This sum was paid over to Mr.. Garfield
bv check on the Sergeant-at-Arms,a and
Mr., Garfield then understood this sun. scas
the balance Of diuideads after paying for
the stock.
From the New York Times, Feb. Is, 1873.
Messrs. Kelly and Garfield present a
most distressing figure. Their partieipa-
ton in the Credit Mobiier affair is COM
plicated by the most unfortunate contra
dictions of testimony.
From the New York Times, Feb 40 1878
The character of the Credit Mobilier
was no secret The source of its profits
was very well known at the time Congress
men bought ii. Though Cakes Ames
NAV have succeeded i'm coucealing his own
motive. which was to bribe Congressman.
their acceptance of the stock was not on
that account innocent. The dishonor of
the act. as a participation in an obvious
fraud, still remains.
Some of them have INDUCED in testl-
mony to the matter which has been con-
tradicted. The committee distinctly rejects
the testimony of several OF the members.
This can only be done on the ground that
il ia untrue. But untrue testimony given
under oath is morally, if not legally, per-
Jury.
Il is the clear duty of congress to visit
with punishment all who took Credit
MobiIier stock from Oakes Ames.
From the New York Tribune. Feb 10, 1873.
James A. Garfield of Ohio had ten
shares; never paid dollar; received 1929
which, after the investigation began. he
was anxious to have considered as a loan
from Mr.. Cakes Ames 10 himself.
Well, the wickeduess of all OF it Is that
these men betrayed the trust OF the people.
deceived their constituents. and by eva
sions and talsehoods confessed the trans
action to be disgraeeful.
From the New York Tribune, Feb rs, 1878.
Mr.. Ames establishes very clearly the
point that be was not alone Ia this offence.

has been very pressing during the past
two or three years. The aim OF
the publishers will be to furnish q

BILE employment Of reading; to supply
a suitable edition of the HERALD for
sending sbroad-a paper that shall
faithfully and honestly represent this
great and growing territory, with its
many and important industries and
its thrifty, enterprising people; to
make paper for the home circle and

Poor Kearney

| Chicago, 1-TTibltRe's WashingtOni
Denis Kearney and his followers suffered
| q crushing and deserved defezt at the
San Francisco charter election, on Tues
day, the Citizens Union ticket having
boon elected By a majority of from 6 600
to 1,OOO. This means the end of kearney
and kearneyism in San FranciscO-his
vile mOuthIngs, his demagOgical utter
ances, his vicious threats and his insane
rantlngs sgainst everything pertaining to
decency, order and justice. 1t is quite
probable that the Jail doors will on
close On bin, and the decsnt people of
San Francisco be saved even the annoy
ance of his p:esence. Toe threat of
Mayor KsllOch lot to count votes is silly
ana absurd, and one he will not dare TO
enforce. The people of San Francisco
are not in q humor just now to be de-
prived of the fruits Of their victory by a
reverend blstherskite, who aisgraces
the municipal chair of the town. The
votes will be counted and the candidates
of the Citizens Union will be dsclsred
elected, notwith anding the rawlings of
Ke4rney and evil intentions Of KallOch.
The wholesale detection of genuine work
lngmen from the Kearney party is proof
positive that they now fully understand
the shallow pretences, small ability aud
the intense bl-ckguardism of Sand Lot
blssphemy The only wonder is they
did not see through him loug before. He
had few qualities to commend him TO
the favor of any c'sss OF people, and his
temporary success is addIti0nsl evidence
that unbranded impudeuce may, for
lime, serve as a cover to gross ignorance
and cheap charlatsnism. The over
defeat of Tuesday last will be |
by the total dis upton Of the |
party so-called; decency |
will prevail once more in Golden Gate. |
md good citizens will be permitted 70
.ttend to their business without being
disturbed by the absu.d harangues OF
