Cincinnati Gazette e:-"Garcelon has
been the tool of sharper rogues to bring
upon our republic the disgracetul exhl-
bition of the people of a state cheated of
their government by practices as low as
the picking of pockets" The good
Deacon Smith must have been sick when
he wrote that. 1t was Eliza Pinkston
who was the tool of a sharper rogue,
and brought upon our republic the dis
graceful exhibition of tho people OF a
state cheated of their government by
practices as low as the picking of pock-
cts; and it is even whispered that the
sharper rogue is the deacon's candl-
date for president.

IRISH LAND LEAGUE.
Enthusiastic Meeting Last Evening.

The Irish Land League of this city held
hall of the l. A. r. A. last evening. The hall
was crowded and nineteen more gentlemen be-
came members.
The treasurer was instructed to send 800 of
the funds of the League to ]. Boyle O'Reilly,
OF Boston, for the benefit of the Irish Nation
al Land League.
Darius Ingraham, Esq, made a handsome
donation to the funds.
Elliot King, Esq, addressed the League.
Mr.. King commenced by paying glowing
tribute to the genius, courage, perseverance
and industry of the Irish race. The same
courage the same sublime zeal which for seven
centuries preserved its nationality will eman-
cipate the Irish people from the thraldom
which, under the leadership of Parnell, they
propose to shake Off Ireland asks peasant
propretorship and Home Rule. He could see
no just reason why these privileges should not
be accorded to the Irish nation, and combatted
Rule would lead to the dissolution of the Brit.
ish empire. The landlords of ireland OBJ
tanned the land from their ancestors who gained
possession of it by confiscation. He predicted
the success of the Land League. No element
that has entered into the composition of the
mixed nationality of the United States has
contributed so much to its greatness and glory
as the Irish race. Nothing but an independent
nation would satisfy the aspirations of the
Irish patriot. Mr.. King advised q peaceful,
constitutional agitation. The sympathy of the
American people fef the Irish people in their
present struggle would be a potent lever to lift
Ireland to the high plane Of freedom.
Stirring addresses were made by James Cum
ningham, John NJ Todd and William Nc
Aleney.
The League is prospering finely, and extends
cordial invitation to every citizen to attend
the meetings and become members.
The next meeting will be held next Monday
evening and will be addressed by w. FL.

G. d. B. Fisk VS.. VIM. H. Sanborn.
Two actions, each to recover the sum of 5000 for
money had and received. The plaintiffs claim
that they each paid $500 for seventh of a GER
tain tract of land containing about % acres in the
mining region at Bluehil which the defendant rep
resented he owned; that the defendant has never
transferred the title to them offered to- The de-
PENDANT says he never represented that he owned
the property, but only bond for the conveyance on
the payment of certain sum- and that the receipts
which he gave the plaintiffs on the payment of the
money TO him stated that the money was one sew
enth interest in this bond from Allen to him. Each
plaintiff said that upon taking the receipt he put il
away without noticing the manner In which it was
worded; that they had no idea they were buying
ly an interest in bond but supposed they were
which the land contained. Decision reserved.

The Ocean Traffic.


A gentleman much interested in the ocean
traffic of Portland wants to know if the
Grand Trunk desires moro urharf rooll, ny
that company does not improve its property
on the northeast front so called. There
they have some 400 feet frontage of good flats
that existed there in 1910, over one hundred
years ago, and they can purchase all they de-
sire from the adjoining property-holders at
fair prices If there is objection to putting
up an elevator on encountered property-or,
to put it differently, if an elevator company is
to be formed and the bonds must be based on
unencumbered property in order to be salable
then the elevator could be put on the part
of the wharf built on the flats purchased from
the adjoining property-owners on which there
is no mortgage. By such step solid wharf
seven hundred feet square could be built
with an elevator of any desired capacity
Still another great advantage would arise
from the construction of wharf in this
locality. From Portland Head Light there is
clear, straight passage to the end Of the
proposed wharf, with plenty of water for the
largest steamship afoat. At all times and
tides, and in all weather. steamer could
come fright to her dock from the open sea-
The yards of the Grand Trunk also bound this
spot and all facilities they enjoy elsewhere in
the city they obtain there.
The gentleman says great deal OF talk has
been made about Boston and its facilities.
The Easthaven Company to make their proper
ty available has got to cut canal, quarter of
amile long, through solid sand and then it will
be only wide enough for one steamer at a
time, and has got to be constantly dredged
out Boston, as city, has never given cent
to the railroads and never will, neither has
her merchants. What is being done is the
work of the railroads themselves
The PRESS in speaking of the visit of the
Grand Trunk officials, the other day, said
they talked of buying the whole of the Port
land Company's property, and also of running
the works themselves. There is still another
idea expressed by some of the Portland Com
pany directors, and that is, if the Grand
Trunk should buy the grounds of the Portland
Company, but decided not to carry on the
work, for the Portland Company to move the
heavy machinery out to the Ligonia Works,
where the rate of taxation is less, ana carry on
the business there ns

The Atrato mining Comna.,v

Mr.. Edmund W. P. Smith, U. S. consul at
the port of Carthagena, q. S. Colombia, S.
A., will arrive here today from New York,
accompanied by his private secretary. Mr..
Smith, besides his consular duties, is repre-
sentative and business agent for some of the
heaviest New York merchants, and also finds
time to edit GEL Mercurio" newspaper pub
lished partly in Spanish and partly in ENGLISH
at Carthagena.
Mr.. Smith has taken from the very incep.
ton OF this adventure lively interest in its
successful formation, and has done all in his
power to aid it. How successful he has been
may be judged from the fact that his position
and prominence were such as to enable him to
induce President Nunez to revoke an imposl
of heavy duty upon the company's steam
boats and mining machinery. Mr.. Smith
visits our city to advise and assist the gentle.
men in charge of the manage ment Of the
Atrato company's affairs abroad in their final
preparations, and has had the kindness to Of
fer the services of his secretary in preparing
the triplicate manifesto in Spanish called fol
by the laws of that country. After Mr.. Smith
shall have little more leisure to spare, he
will take pleasure in introducing gentlemen
whom it may profit to learn of the wonderful
resources and growing demands of Cartha-
gena.
