DETROIT, Feb. 2o.--The Parnell Dillon
Murdoch demonstration here this afternoon
was an immense affair. 1t was in point OF
numbers, respectatility and enthusiasm
one of the grandest demonstrations that has
ever taken place in Detriot. The party were
received at the Michigan Central depot, and
escorted to the Russell house by three mill
tary companies headed by the One Hun
dredth United States infantry band, and a
number of temperance and civil socitles,
with large delegation of prominent citi-
zers in carriages. The reception at the
Detroit Opera House in the evening was
most cordial and enthusiastic. Mayor
Thompson presided and introduced j. w.
Corcorap, chairman of the reception COM
mittee, who read an address of welcome.
Mayor Thompson, in introducing Mr.. Par
nell, delivered an able and feeling address
strongly indorsipg Mr.. Parnell and the OBJ
iect OF his mission. MIR. Parnell, on rising,
was greeted with thunderous applause. He
spoke half an hour and was listened to with
rapt attention, his remarks being frequently
interrupted by loud and continued applause.
In the course of his remarks Mr.. Par
nell referred IN the following words
to the New York Herald relief fund and the
manner of making its distribution: Wishing
to give the New York Herald a fair chance
of showing that it was sincere in its express
sions Of sympathy with the Irish people, he
and Mr. Dillon Lad published a letter ten
days ago, appealing to the Herald to name
committee in Ireland to distribute its relief
fund which would command the confidence
of the Irish people. The Herald in reply 10
this appeal, published the names of COM
mittee which was Dot satisfactory
one, as there was too much
of the landlord and government influence in
its composition. Nevertheless, in Difference
to tho wishes of friends from all parts of the
Union, he consented to act, in the belief that
by the appointing of gentleman to repre-
sent him during his absence from Ireland,
he could neutralize this influence to such an
extent as to make the committee tolerable.
Bat the Herald refused him the privilege of
appointing a proxy, while it allows another
member of its committee to do 81, thereby
showing that its offer to him was
not bona fde one, and that it
feared the influence of his representative
would be used to defeat the object of
strengthening the landlord interest in Ireland
uader the guiss of charity. At the conclu-
ST On of the me eiing nearly thousand dol
lars was subscribed and the receipts from the
sale of tickets will net large sum for the
relief fund Parnell, Dillon and Murdoch

IMelrose Record


The Dispatch begins to see the end of the
Wsshburn fraud, and deplores the perversity
of Democratic Congress that will interfere
with fraudulent elections, and appeals to the
Republicans of the Third Congressional dis
trct to return the same w D. Washburn by
an overwhelming majority. Does the Dis
patch endorse the fraudulent means resorted
t, in the last election by Mr.. w. and his
friends to procure his election, or does it de-
ny the charges that w. failed to prove, or
support by any evidence in the contest in
the House? If there was any rebutting evil
dence to clear up the charges of bribery and
intimidation made by Mr.. Donnelly it would
seem that man of the reputed shrewdness
of Washburn would certainly produce it. In
the absence of such proof w. must stand
convicted of The charges made, and the Re-
puhl;cans OF this district will be wise to
honor some less aspiring and more honor
able candidate. 1t is time the people we're
awakening to the importance Of indicating
whom they would prefer to represent them
instead of allowing any unprincipled aspi-
rant buying up his nomination and securing
his election By questionable means and thus
forcing them to vote for the nominee or lose
the election.

Now the description given of "Pitts' and

THE BATTLE OF LIFE.

to forth to the battle of life my boy
60 while it is called to-day,
For The years 60 out and the years come III
Regardless of those who may lose win.
OF those who may work or play.
And the troops march steadily on, my boy,
To the army gone before;
You may hear the sound of their falling feet
Going down to the river, where two worlds meet
They go t. return no more.
There is a place for you in the ranks, my boy.
And duty, too, assigned:
Step into the front with a cheerful face
Be quick or another may take your place
And you may be left behind.
There is work to be done by the way my boy.
That you never can tread again;
Work for the loftiest, lowliest men
Work for the pillow, plane, spindle and pen
Work for the hands and the brain.
The serpent will follow your STEPS, my boy,
To lay for your feet a snare;
And pleasure sits in her fairy bowers.
With garlands of peoples and lotus flow r.
Enwreathing her golden hair.
Temptations will wait by the way, my boy
Temptations without and within;
And spirits Of evil, with robes as fair
As those which the angels in heaven might veal
Will lure you to deadly sin.
Then put on the amor of God my boy,
In the beautiful days of youth
Put on the helmet and breast-plate and shield
And the sword that the fullest arm may WELD
In the cause Of right and truth.
And 20 to the battle of life, my boy,
With the peace of the Gospel shod,
And before high heaven do the best you
For the great reward and the good Of man,
For the kinpdnm and crown of God.

Census Statistics.

This is Il time when, as Americans,
we feel like doing little Boosting.
One hundred and four years ago, when
we declared ourselves to be free and
independent people, our population
was less than 100000. To-day, ac-
cOrding to Gen. Walkers rough est
mate, it is 100000. Boston was then
an insignificant village, so far as pOpula-
ton was concerned, and New England
had but few scattering schools and two
colleges. The entire country had but
thirty-seven newspapers, and the best
of them were not equal to the worst
weeklies printed to-day i'll the mush-
room towns of the Rocky Mountain
region. In 1889 we had but seventy
five post offices, and the mails were car
med OH horseback over 1000 miles of
road, at an expense of So, 900 per year.
To-day we have $4,000 post offices, new
ones are being established daily, and
the mails are being carried over 265 900
miles of postrOads, at an annual eX-
pense of $29,000,0O0 We have nearly
quarter of million miles of tele
graph wire. We have al, 500 school
houses, 63,062 churches, 729 daily
newspapers and over 5000 periodicals
of all kinds Our farms are valued at
not less than IS, 1862, sos, SOL, our farm
ing implements at 1886, SIS, 423, and our
live stock at 81, 525, 276, 457. Our farm
products, in a single year, have brought

we have paid, in farm wages. 1910, 1885,
2S5. Our crops are bountiful, yes,
ed nearly SIZE, 100000 i'll twelve months.
Our manufacturers are prosperous. In
cotton goods we challenge the world.
In one year our $50 mills turned out
cloth enough to encircle the earth
twenty times if made into one piece,
with still enough left to make every
human being suit of clothes, and fur
nish each with pieces for patching.
