Parnell presided. Arrangements were
made to carry on the work of the Land

Ireland is well nigh perfect, and the
people are of one mind and one spirit.
Put no faith in the ridiculous and ma
licious rumor now in circulation in
English newspapers and which may be
wired to America concerning the off,

ries are manufactured for purpose.
Parnell returns to Parliament to op-
pose the passage of the arms bill. From
thence he will proceed to Ireland. Dill
Ion replaces Davitt. Numerous meet
ings are now being held in Ireland to
denounce the conduct of the government
and protest against coercion. The gov
eminent is committing blunder upon

Washington letter, is not entirely owing
to the arrears of pensions law, although
before that was enacted the pension ex-

the survivors of the war of 1919 has
helped to swell the aggregate. There
are now on the rolls over thirty five
thousand widows and survivors of that
war. It is remarked at the pen
sion Office that no one engaged in that
war seems to have died in the last half
century. The effect of this immense
swelling of the pension roll is to post
pone indefinitely the pensioning of the
survivors of the Mexican war. A con-
vention of the survivors is 10 meet at
Louisville on the 22d, and strong me-
mortal will be sent to Congress asking

The Parnell Address.

Editor Morning Meas: Your defense
of Mr.. Parnell's language, used in his
address to the Irish people, well nigh
obviates the necessity for further notice
of the attack upon that gentleman which
appears in your issue of to-day. "a
Citizen Of the United States" has GER
tainly vivid Imagination if he can find
in the address any evidence of desire
for war or bloodshed or violence. To
the contrary, Mr.. Parnell expressly de-
clares that he will remain in Parliament
to continue the struggle against un-
righteous might. Did he contemplate
war. he has made most unhappy selec-
ton of headquarters. The whole tenor
of the address is to encourage the
people in their endurance, to strengthen
their fortitude under the trials to come,
and to continue the OConnell policy,
which has been Mr.. Parnelrs policy
from the first and continues to be. as he
states in this very address, "open or
ganiZation and passive resistance. The
Vi " SOAANAA AOeA0O
very queerly indeed, in the same para
graph with the severe condemnation of
Mr. Parnell, when we reflect that the
methods of the two are identical. The
Land League, however, aims at the
achievement of many rights; O'Connell
aimed at emancipation only, supple
mented after many years by efforts at
repeal of the Union.
GA Citizen" cannot be reader of the
Irish papers, or he would have known
that every Land League meeting is at
tended by the clergy, both Catholic and
denominational, and that, in fact, ma
jority of those meetings are presided
over and the strongest resolutions offered
by the priesthood. The grand patriot
ism, the wonderful patience, and master
ly management of Mr.. Parnell, will yet
attain commensurate results. That his
language should be so misconstrued is
singular, when we know that his mode
ration of tone has extorted compli-
mentary expressions from an English
Minister, even in the heat
of Parliamentary debate. "a Citi-
zen" SAYS that he is warm
friend of the Irish people. Well. we ask
him to read again, and carefully, Mr..
Parnell's admirable and very moderate
address. Mr.. James Anthony Froude
always claimed to be friend of the
Irish people, and acknowledged that he
was under obligations to them for
needed care and attention, but he would
never read both sides of Irish history,
and his pen would record but the pleas
ing fraction of the English side.
Irishmen, here and elsewhere, will
thank you, Mr. Editor, for your very
plain statement of Mr.. Parnell's plain
language. Your construction is the only
one warranted by the words, or their
context. EMERALD.

The new Senator from California,

side on the Chinese question, and will
probably be one of the strongest advo-
Gates of restricting Chinese immigration
in the next Congress. He is now in
New York, having come on in order to
be in readiness for the probable extra
session of the Senate. In an interview,
he says. THE anti. Chinese movement
is more bitter than ever in California.
The matter is pretty well understood in
the East, and there have been some very
startling statements published, but the
truth has not been exaggerated. 1t is
simply frightful in the Chinese quarter.
The municipal authorities have worked
and worked. and spent money lavishly,
but they seem poweFless to effect any
permanent good. The evil must be
dwelt with by the General Government,
and the people have faith that it will
deal with it just as soon as it is practica-
ble."

A RAILROAD MAN.

Mr. r. I. Wilson is perhaps the rich
est Southern railroad man in New York.
He is a Georgian, who was born and
reared In the ''cracker" country and has
all the shrewdness that is ascribed to
that people, to which is added unusual
sagacity, broad liberal views and an iron
will. He is now in absolute control of
about 1000 miles of railroad in the
South and is just about building two
more connections. He is President and
leading owner of the Memphis and
Charleston Line, which has a capital
record, and the stock of which is rapid
ly approaching. Mr.. Wilson's wealth
is estimated at about SIS, 000, 900 and it is
all held well in hand-perhaps more
closely than any prominent railroad man
in the city. Mr.. Wilson relies upon
earnings rather than speculation, and puts
his faith in dividends rather than in
TURNS" He is the very type of pru-
dence, and commands large following
of business investors. He thoroughly
believes in the future of the South, and
is heavily interested in its development.
His son has just married into the rich
Goelet family. Mr.. G. G. Baldwin, Vice
President of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad and director in the Hanover
National and Continental Banks, is one
of the rich men of Gotham. A Mary
lander by birth and education, he has the
charming heartiness and cordiality that
is blown up by the breezes of the Chesa-
peake and is great favorite. He is
worth at least two and half millions,
and many estimate his wealth at mil.
hon more. He cleared $3.50, 900 on sim

large owner of Nashville and Chattanooga
stock, being the leader of the pool of
four who sold the controlling interest in
the stock of that company to the Louis
vile and Nashville Company at 81 10

80 cents and had probably cost Mr..
