The Chicago Tribune picks out some
interesting facts from the explanations of
James Redpath and others relative to the
irish famine fund, which throw a brilliant
light on English human nature, The
Queen of England with an income, Of
S2,OOO,OOO year, gave days income.
An Irish servant girl in Boston gave 800,
and every servant girl in the land gave at
least dollar. The lord mayor of Dublin
gave $3.50, and spent $4,000 in entertaining
the officers of the Constellation. The
Duke OF Edingburgh has been knighted
by his mother for distributing the Ameri-
can fund without having himself contrib
tued . cent The Duke of Marlborough
receives 100000 as lord lieutenant of
Ireland, but his dutchess only gave $3.50
to head her own relief fund There has
never been an Irish fund for the relief Of
Ireland; nothing from the government,
the landlords, Parliament, the gentry or
any of the wealth of Ireland.

TrIhute to Con. GnrlIeld.


The man whom we shall thus elect is or
almost ideal fitness Tor the place James
A. Garfield is magnificent product OF our
institutions. Born poor, the support Of a
widowed mother earning with his own
hands the means which carried him
through one Of the noted New England
colleges, he belongs to the very best type
Of self made men. A student all his life,
he is to day perhaps the most scholarly
among our statesmen. His career as n
soldier was without a flaw, and in his Inst
great battle it was well said Of him that,
at the crisis, when left without orders, he
rode toward the sound Of the enemy's can
non. As statesman his record through
the war and since is part Of the history
Of the country. The Chicago Convention
promptly recognized him rs its best coun-
sellor, and easily its first orator. lie is
even better fitted for the Presidency than
for PARTISAN leadership, since the judicial
temper which has sometimes hindered him
in Congress is precisely what will command
the confidence Of the whole country in the
White House. With all our heart we
approve and applaud the nomination.
The ticket tends to harmony on sound
basis, and to right ends and the campaign
Of 1880 has AN auspicious opening.

DemocrntIc Nonlnec.


The Democratic Convention--as we
hear just before going to press has elect
ed on the second ballot, General Hancock
as its nominee for the Presidency This
is evidence that they were afraid to put
theirtru in theEreckless old wheel horses
of the party. In this at least there was
questionable policy. Hancock, though a
mediocre man, with not brains enough to
have made his mark in the world has
fixed no point for gaining the popular
mind, and the only hope Of himselran
friends is that he has not been guilty of
any glaring blunders for there is nothing
glaring in his character, good, bad or
Indifferent His statesmanship-liket that
of most of his professionals remarkable
for nothing but its deficiency and crude
ness. His war record, which ought
to show the qualities of the man, il any
thing, is barely respectable. The most,
therefore, that can be said in his favor, is
that he is a gentlemanly man without evil
dence Of the native deprayily which marks
the average Democratic politician, aud
there is little to criticise or waste invec-
tive upon. He has none OF the brains or
culture that characterize the old hacks Of
the party who have been thrust aside, and
his campaign must be a campaign Of a
negative character. The list Of Presi-
dents hardly presents his equal in weak
ness and lack OF statesm ansllip, and there
is nothing about him that can rally or
enihuse the Democratic rank and file.
We know of no modification possible to
befall Gen. Garfield, greater than that Of
beino beaten by General II anoock.

Mr.. John Russell Young has been inter
viewed in San Francisco, aud states some
very interesting facts about Grant and his
third term candidacy for the Presidency. In
Mr.. Young's opinion, Grants controlling
motive was the belief that he could har-
monize the sectional differences between
the South and the North better than any
other man, 1t seems there were six senA-
tors in the plan, and that IL the combina-
ton on Garfield could have beeA foreseen,
the Grant forces would have nominated

A Land Without Laughing.

Letter from James Redpath in N. Y. Tribune
The. Irish people have been described by
novelists and travellers as hight hearted anG
rollicking people-full of fun and quick in
repartee-a devi-may care race of folks
equally ready to dance or to fight. have moi
found them SO. I found them in the west Of
Ireland a sad and despondent people, care
worn, oken-hearted and shrouded in gloom.
Never once in the hundreds of cabins that I
entered-never once even-did I see a merry
eye or hear the sound of a merry. voice. Old
men and boys, old women and girls.-young
men and maidens-all of them, without soli-
tary exception, were grave Or haggard, and
every household looked as if the plague of the
frst-born had smitten it that day. Rachel,
weeping for her children, would have passed
unnoticed among these warm hearted peas
ants, or, if she had been noticed, they would
only have said: f'She is one of u.s. A home
without a child is cheerless enough but here
is whole region without child's laugh in
it. Cabins full of children-and no boisterous
glee! No need to tell these youngsters to be
quiet. The famine has tanned their restless
spirits and they crowd around the bit of peat
fire without uttering word. Often they do
not look second time at the stranger who
comes into their cabin. Can Americans con-
ceive of country whose only happy children
are in public institution? If you can do So,
then you see the west of Ireland in the winter
of 1880. Now don't say "God pity them p
just pity them yourself first. They need no
more prayers, but they need more meal.

refuses to ratify the sale. and at the present
session Of Congress 9 ibillshas been passed and
ssigned by President Hayes, which provides
that the lands Of this reservation lying on the
east side Of the Mississippi river be opened to
settlen ent under the homestead and pre-emp-
ton laws. Instructions win probably soon be
received at the ST Cloud Land Office to re-
ceive applications from. parties desiring to file
on claims thereon. The lands are already
settled upon to considerable extent by par
ties who expect to get them as homesteads.
Besides the two sections in each township set
apart for school purposes, in 1856 Congress
set apart for railroad purposes the odd num-
bered sections, first for six and afterwards for
ten miles on either side Of . line Of railroad
that was located along the eastern bank Of the
Mississippi to Grow Wing. Twenty miles on
each side was reserved to make up for def
ciencies, where lands that should have fallen
to the e3railroad company had been previously
leaving but l6 sections in each
that could be taken under the home
stead and pre-emption laws. Owing to the
fact Of SO much land being set apart for rail-
road, school and, some other purposes, the set-
tlement Of the county is far less than it would
have been had all the lands been open to set
Element as homesteads.
