The N z P.st R pul lican. says:
"The speech was an insidious assault
upon the Republican party, calculated to
repel honest men, and tina, It's only oh:
ject was to revive odious and malignant
sectionalism by the indictment of q
whole people, which Burke thought i'm
possible, in the lowest spirit of carpet
bagser and demagogue."
D.. The Post ridicules CoNKLINe's argu-
ment that, although the South is only
one seventh Of the whole .peoplerh will
control the rest of the country, and SAYS
that the scare crow disappears when it
is remembered that the Democratic can
didate can only succeed by the votes oI
a majority of the voters Of several ol
the great Northern States. 1t includes
the bugaboo OF the solid South; aserts
that the interests Of the border States lie
with the North, not the South, and quotes
GARFIELD's declaration. that any candi.
date running on sectional issues mus
fail. The Post article concludes by say
ing that CoNKLINa's 'ill-judged, illogica
and malicious, speech will drive. indie
pendent voters away from the Republi
can party,
The Post sees very plainly that th'
"bloody shirt" issue decided upon BY
GARFIELD, BLAINE, LOGAN and othel
leaders of the party at the confer
ence held in New Yrrk some tint
since, will not win for the Republican
party this year. The result. of the Main,
election has scared the: Post and th'
leaders badly, and when 'CoNLKlSe
speaks to the programme decided upol
at the conference of the managers, til,
sharp cry Of "halt!" is heard along th'
line. Go ahead, Mr.. CoNLkINa; fis.

GARFIELD adopted that issue as the bes
one for this campaign. Hold them t
the work. BLAINE tried it in Maine ant

screaming it in New York, Pennsylya

Steamship or Railroad.

New YoRx. February 3.-Ths Tribune
says the conflict between the Pacific Mail
Steamship Company and tho overland
railroads Is said : have been caused, in
part at least, by personal feeling. When
the consolidation Of the Union Pacific
took place recently James X. Keene,
who had been . director OF the old com.
pany. was left out Of the Board OF the
consolidated company. It Is said that
Keene expressed great displsasure and
threatened vengeance. He was q large
holder OF Pacific Mail stock, which hs
claims he was led to buy by the assur-
ancs Of his associates In the Union Pa.
ci6c Board that = new contract would be
made. Shortly aftsrward the officers Of
the consolidated company refused even
to consider the demands Of the steam.
ship company. This refusal was fol.
lowed by . declaration Of war in freight
rates by the Pacific Mail Company. Il
il not believed that the business can long
be controlled merely to crafty Rrudges.
The Pacific Mail Company on Saturday
reduced the passenger rates from $3.50
to $50 for cabin passage, aud from $50
10 $50 for steerage passage. After
February l1th the freight rates will be
named and contracts for Q year will DO
open to shippsrs.

Parnell Before Congress.

WASHINGTON, February a. The
announcement that Parnell would ap.
pear at the Capitol last evening and
make an address brought . full audi.
sncs. Not many members OF either
branch Of Congress were present, but
the ladies filed the seats OF al absentees
and the galleries were closely packed
with spectators. The Speaker Of the
House called the meeting to order and
introduced Charles Stewart Parnell oil
Ireland. who was greeted with great
applause.
Mr.. Parnell said tho American Repub-
lilo opinion would DO Of the greatest i'm.
portsncs in enabling them to obtain q
settlement OF the Irish question. he
proceeded to speak OF the tenure OF land
In Ireland a. being the most pressing
question Of that country. and quoted
the testimony Of the historian Frouds
against the principle Of private prop.
srty In land. He also quoted approx.
ingly OF the New York Edlion against
the idea OF immigration NJ q remedy.

Prussia and other Continental countries,
where the fsudal tenure had been tried
and found wanting. and had been aban.
doned. He proposed to give an oppor-
tunisy to every occupying farmer In Ire.
land to become the owner OF his own
farm. He referred to John Bright's
proposition. for q company to advance
money for the purchase Of Irish farms.
and criticised Bright for sinking from
asking Parliament TO sanction that prin-
ciple. In conclusion he said thatit would
~ q proud boast for America, II she. by
the force Of her public opinion alone,
and by the respect with which all peoples
looked upon any sentiment prevailing in
America, to obtain for Ireland, without
shedding q drop Of blood. without
drawing the sword. without o threat.

that great question. He was proud and
happy in the belief that in the way he
had mentioned. and in no other way,
America would DO an important factor In
the solution Of the Irish land question.

constantly arriving at the portage

claims have been located, many Of them
being staked out at random In the snow.
Prcspectors are at work In many in.

to reach the surface ground. Sisson,
who went into'the mines late last fall,
after most other miners had left, brings
back 800 in coarse canyon gold, which
he claims that he panned out at various
points for fifteen miles up and down
Ruby creek. He further states that no
work can be done in tho mines till the

for parties to attempt to 60 In before
that time.
The rush from California and other
