Ex-senator Dorsey is in Washington COM
pletely broken up in mind. The Star Route
revelations have prostrated him. He iE no
longer proud in spirits. It is alleged that for
q week his house has been under a detectives
eye, who reports to the Attorney General all
who communicate with him. It is said there is
evidence not made public, which will place Dor
sey in moro embarrassing position than he
now is. In 1876 Dorsey was active and instru-
mental in exposing Blaines connection with
the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad, Of
Arkansas, which defeated him for the Presiden-
tial nomination. Now the scenes have shifted,
and Blaine is on top. Attorney General Mac
Veagh is after Congressman Harmer, of Penn
sylvania. Harmer's partner, Black, is under
indictment in Philadelphia, for furnishing Star

your name in the newspapers sometimes,

Ireland and the IrI.h Troubles.

A Dublin correspondent states that it is
notorious fact that all the recent disturbances
have been in the richest agricultural districts,
where the farmers are well off. To speak of
these people as objects of compassion, as down.
trodden, rack-rented victims of landlord cruel
ty, is untrue. John o'Connor Power, in re-
plying to letter from Egan to Brennan,
wherein Egan abuses Power and McCoan for
voting for second reading of the Land Bill,
taunts Egan with skulking in Paris, and warns
his countrymen that if they allow themselves
to be goaded into an unarmed insurrection by
the screaming Of hired demagogues, who have
already shown the white feather, they will be
abandoned ands betrayed in the hour of trial.
McCoan also taunts Egan with hiding in Paris,
and hints that Hgan's letter was inspired by
others,

"THERE is no surer test of the quality
Of a nation," says Ruskin, than the
quality of its servants, for they are their
masters shadows, and distort their faults
in fattened mimicry. A wise nation
will have philosophers in its servants
hall, a knavish nation will have knaves
there, and a kindly nation will have
friends there. Only let it be remem-
bered that kindness means, as with
your child, SO with your servant, not in
aulgence, but care"

The Trenty Respecting the Panama Canal.
The Panama Star and Herald publishes the
following resume of the leading points of the
protocol said to have been signed by represen-
tatives Of Colombia and the United States, at
New York: 'Ships of war and military conveys
of the United States may, in peace or war, pass
free through the canal without payment of
tolls By common consent both Governments
will select, in the territory of the Isthmus,
places appropriate for forts, arsenals,
coaling depots and naval storehouses. In time
of peace there shall be no American military
force on the isthmus beyond that indispensab
for the repair and preservation of such forts,
arsenals, etc. In case the neutrality of thecanal
should be threatened, the United States are au-
thorized to take military occupation of the 18TH
mus, and Colombia will be obliged to cooperate
Ships of war and military expeditions of all
other nations, except the United States, viii
have no right to pass through the canal in time
of peace. Nevertheless, the two nations may,
by mutual understanding, permit the innocent
use of the highway to such ships and expedi-
tons Colombia undertakes not to enter into
negotiations concerning the canal, or alter
rules and regulations governing it without
previous accord with the United States.'' The
Star and Herald adds: "The protocol has been
disapproved by the Colombian Senate. Dich-
man, United States Minister to Colombia, and
author Of the protocol, is furious. The Gov
ernment, Senate, press and people have unani-
mously denounced the protocol"
