Senator David Davis was unable to attend
a meeting of sympathy and aid fol. ireland
at Springfield, ILL.,, bat he wrote an admir-
able letter, in which he said, Hundreds
OF thousands of Irishmen and the sons of
Irishmen have aided in building up the
West and in illustrating as good citizens
the blessing of free government. They
showed it in our early struggles for
liberty: they have eheerfully borne a
full part of the heat and burden in all our
trials, and it is barely just they should
participate in the benefits they helped to
create. Across the Atlantic the poor
Irish farmer tolls hard and is fortunate if
he can exc out a mere subsistence for
wife and children. No ray Of hope glad
dsDs his prospect in life. He is doomed to
labor without reward, and those vino are
to come after him are fated to follow 10
his weary footsteps. The grasping land
lord is the sole BENEFICIARY of an atrocious
policy that permits him to live in luxury
abroad Eand consigus to poverty and
squalor the brains and muscle of a people
capable Of great deeds, but condemned to
legsIizedS bondage. Away with such a
system in this enlightened age boasting OF
progress and blessed by Christianity"

There is loud protest from the ranks
of the Republican party of Pennsylvania
that is the conservative element, because
the state convention has been called Tor
February. Those who protest look upon
the matter as a deliberately laid scheme
to send Grant delegation from that state
and are taking measures to prevent II.
Cameron has the grip on the party in the
keystone state, however, and will see that
the right crowd is on hand to do the
voting. Ring tactics are familiar to him,
ard nothing is too INSCRIPTIONS to under
take. if the desired end is accomplished.

There is; something very rotten 10
Shanghai exclaims Moseby, and for this
bipartisan expression it has been official
ly decreed that his scalp must be taken. 1t
is equivalent to losing position to denounce
corruption within the ranks Of the Repub
lean party-at least that appears to the be
invariable outcome. So long as MOseby KEPT
bis mouth shut and eyes closed, and said
nothing concerning the crookedness of the
Shanghai consulate, be was allowed to re-
tain his position, but when. in the interest
OF civil service reform ne makes an expose
of the damnable practices o. Seward and
his corrupt gang, it is officially proclaimed
that Moseby must go. The Chicago Tri-
6une q stalwart Republican paper, but
which has frequently. denounced Official
corruption, says in referring TO this case
The rumor goes forth from the state
department that Consul General Moseby, at
Shanghai, Is to be be removed, the pre-
sumptive cause being that he has followed
the fatal example of two or three prede-
oessors in that consulate by exposing
the pilierIDg practices of the Seward ring"
in China. Every official agent in China
who has heretofore attempted to fight that
ring, which appears to exist for the pur-
pose of stealing everything in the Celes-
tial empire, has been removed, and now
comes Moseby's turn.
That there is something awfuly rotten
10 the administration of the American
mission in China is evident from "a mass Of
proofs sufficient to over whelm any com
blnati0n OF common rogues GA earth.
What that something Is has not been deli
nitely established, but it is high time it
should be, The charges against the Sew
ard ri Jg, the chief person 10 which is the
American minister at Pekin, are of the
most scandalous character, and the proofs
in support of the charges are such. TO say
the least, as are incompatible with the
continuance of Mr.. Seward in that position
10y an administration having a decent
respect tor the opinion of mankind. Why
1t Is that. instead of determining the truth
or untruth OF the charges. every witness
who ventures to produce new proofs of
their truth is straightway officially be-
headed, surely ought to be found out"
1t is part of the practices of the Wash
ington ring that those on the inside shall
remain in there, and any attempt to inter
rupt the programme of addition, division
and silence, is summarily rebuked and the
offender against the peace of the ring
unceremoniously bounced. Thorough re-
form Of the civil service will never come
until the Republican party is swept from
power. It.has grown SO corrupt, that its
leaders caro- .nochinG for public opinion and
are strangers to .decency. They act on the
principle that the Republicans are entitled
all the Offices by divine right, aud any
attempt BY the people to dictate the man.
