EMIGRATION THE ONLY SOLUTION.

There seems to be an impression abroad
that Messrs Parnell and Dillon had prima-
riIy Ia view Ia their visit to this country the
solicitation of material aid for their suffering
fellow -countrymen, and there can be no doubt
that America, with her usual sympathy for
the Irish when In distress, would have con-
trihuted largely whether she had been ap-
pealed to or not; but the fact Is that both OF
those gentlemen distinctly disclaim any such
purpose, and poin'edly declare that IL Is not
possible for the needs Of Ireland to be met by
however munificent. In his late
speech delivered at New York Mr.. Parnell
said:

Irish famine took place. America came forward

We confess we do not catch the precise
meaning Of MIR. Parnell expressed In the above
paragraph. How can America help to rescue
the Irish people from the system Of which
they complain, and which has unquestionably
reduced many thousands of them to starva-
tion, short OF supplying them with funds to
buy arms to fight England, or by actively
taking up their quarrel? Does Mr.. Parnell
mean to suggest either of these courses? II

The nomination of Garfield is viewed as an
other set back for the third term. Judge Taft
and Stanley Matthews were pronounced
Grant men, and yet neither of them could
muster sufficient strength toamount to fol-
lowing. The Shermanites are disposed to
make the most OF their victory. They have
shown that their favorite is reasonably sure
or his own State, and with some reason claim
that this has not yet been demonstrated by
any other candidate This may be regarded
as side hit at Blaine.

we hope TO bring together our Rep
resent atives in the Legislature, and
the best men from the State at
large, for counsel. The Legislative
Temperance Society and the State
Woman's Christian Temperance
Union will be associated with the
State Central Committee in the
work, and we intend to make our
State headquarters the local point,
at which may be gathered for po-
tontial use the moral forces Of the
State. We need also to further
educate the people, and our print
ed appeals and arguments should
be sent into all the homes OF Mich
igan. AL this will cost money, but
a sum which is insignificant when
compared with the great interests
involved, affecting alike the Church,
the State and the home. II is
therefore with confidence we APP
peal to the Christian Churches of
Michigan for their substantial sup
port in this work. In order that
due credit may be given, we pro-
pose to create special fund in the
State treasury, TO be called the
"Church Fund" and to its credit
will he carried all donations made
by the churches. And in order
that the fund may be available for
the winters work, we respectfully
ask the Pastor of each Christian
Church, on Sunday, January I'd, or
AS soon thereafter as possible, to
take up a special collection for this
fund. and remit the same to "Hon.

Blackfeet, BloodS, and Piego

Blackfeet, BloodS, and Piegans
are the Indians at the agency on
the northern border of Montana,
and their agent, Major Young, is
able to report n good years work
done by them. They cut and haul
ed all the agency tirewood, built
all the agency fences, enclosed 500
acres of land, built log cabins, and
titled small farms. Running Crane
seems TO be the champion raiser Of
potatoes, and these, with turnipS
and carrots, are tho favOrite Indian
crops. Crow Gut, on one Of the
issue days last autumn, when his
red brethren were crowded around
the agency for their annuity sup
plies, drove up to the gate, his
wagon loaded with his farm pro-
duce, and sold 1t by measure 20
the assembled crowd as neatly as
any Yankee pedder could have
done. Altogether, these indians,
who were not considerd the most
hopeful, are evidently coming On
in civilized ways.

A few days ago an exciting scene
took place in the hall Of Repre-
sentatives, at Washington. The
discussion was about the Funding
Bill. General Weaver, the late
Greenback candidate for Presi-

Democrat, got into controversy
and becoming excited, they used
words unbecoming n Congressman
General Weaver said that those
who called him liar had better
be careful not to come within reach
Of his right arm. Mr. Sparks said
he didn't care for Weaver's right
arm. General Weaver replied that
his fighting weight was $50 pounds.
Sparks answered that he weighed
$40 pounds. One word led to
another, and at last Weaver, de-
termined TO put head 90 Sparks
Sparks grabbed q chair and was
about to demolish the greenbacl,

from demolishing each other

1t is rather odd that the port OF
Buffalo is officially known as Buff
falo Creek. The business OF this
creek includes over five thousand
arrivals and the same number OF
clearances each year, aggregating
about three million tons The
custom house receipts at the creek
are upwards of three-foarths Of q
million dollars. The Express OF
that city thinks it is high time that
the word creek should be dropped
from the official title Of the port,
On the contrary, it is so rare to
find in this country the thing
named greater than the name in
dictates, that the word creek should
be cherished even when Buffalo
has ten thousand annual arrivals,
aggregating ten million tons.

thought occurs whether the State
might not iudiciously resume the
policy Of establishing an imnigra-
ton agency, but on a more en-
lightened plan than formerly. II

this winter to secure the snbmis-

OF money in spreading information

has been elected more pronounced
in temperance sentiment than any
which ever convened in the State.
They understand that in this con-
test with the liquor men Of the

forces of the commonwealth are

the fact that no money will be
spared, no influence unused, no
power unemployed to defeat tho
