which all Irish Industries, and even means
of livelihood, were so ruthlessly and In
humanity sacrificed nearly two centuries
ago, by aBritish policy of wanton brutality,
which is now meeting with just retribution.
The record of the Irish in America, and of
their descendants, is one of which the Ma
ton may well be proud. Ahd it would be
strange indeed if we, people whose largest
element of composition is of Irish
extraction, did not respond with the
warmest sympathy and characteristic
Irish generosity when the wall Of the fam
ishing thousands, and we fear millions, OF
Our Kin Beyond the Sea is waited to us so
piteously on every gale. Certainly here, in
the Capital of the Nation, where the Irish
element of our society is so splendidly rep
resented in our oldest and most prominent
families, in Congress, and all the other
branches of our Government, no appeals
for generous contributions are necessary ;
here, where Irish libeplity has founded so
many institutions devoted to public and
private charities, and learning and culture

THE anti-suffragists are making the most
of the pending primary meetings for a re-
organization of the Republican party in the
District in the way of arguments to show
that free and representative government is
failure. But they have been sadly dis
appointed in their expectation that trouble
and turmoil would onsue from this move
ment The truth is, that the primaries
held up to date have been conducted with
less cause for complaint as regards public
disturbances and personal ill-feeling than
is usual in cities of this size. In fact, UNI
usual good order has prevailed at all of
them; and while some discussion has
arisen over q difference of opinion regard
ing the authority by which the meetings
have been called, there has been no dis
quoting outbursts and no discouraging OF
disgraceful results. The sharp competition
of rival candidates for partisan honors has
caused some connection, but it is of the
healthy kind which serves to keep the
people alive TO the responsibilities and
privileges of true citizenship. 1t is certain
that those who participate in these usefu
contests do not wear the collars of any
master, nor the badges of sycophants and
punuphs

HoRATIo SEYMOUR is evidently the COM

of doing it with SEYMOUR on the ticket,

THE tone of the Democratic press the
country over, and especially here at the
Capital of the Nation, has been unlavorable
to tho PARNELL-DILLoN exploit in behalf
of suffering Ireland The Republican press,
on the contrary, rejecting the true inspira-
ton of that party in its sympathy for the
oppressed and its habitual encouragement
TO the cause of liberty and progress, has,
with rare exceptions, rendered the most cor

is significant fact that, while the move

A good many years ago, when

of feeling in the county against

The day before the trial Mas to

to Lebanon. 1t being in the good

within two or three miles OF the
