building new houses of the class to accom-

gone on building new stores, enlarging old
ones, and putting up dwellings, at rentals
far beyond the means Of the workingman.
Inquiry made among the real estate men
and the renters themselves shows that the
question of rents to the man in moderate

"A celebrated republican orator, called
to address crowd of the faithfuls, thinned
out by much needed rain, congratulated
his hearers on the ground that "rain makes
corn and of corn naughty republicans make
crooked whisky, and crooked whisky
makes more naughty republicans" Apart
from the special interest (which some republi-
cans naturally take in whatever affects the
production of crooked whisky, it may be as
sumed that the public generally will read
with solcitude the news for week or more
past that continuance OF the present
drouth but "a very few days longer will re-
suit in the virtual ruin Of the corn crop.
The destruction of so important cereal as
corn is disaster of the first magnitude and
its effects will be severely felt by the poor,
to many OF whom it is leading staple. The
people generally will also suffer. for while
corn in its various shapes is not used in
this country as human food with anything
like universally, its availability as such
serves as check on the price of wheat, and
when its supply is cut off or restricted,
wheat commands higher price and is
more difficult to Obtain. Therefore, it is
hoped that the reports regarding corn are
exaggerated, and that rain may speedily
come to save as much of the crop as is not
too far gone.
On Saturday evening large number
of freshmen, belongnging to what Is known
as the Wolfe Tone Society of the United
States and Canada, met at the office
of a prominent lawyer in Chicago
passed the following preamble and
resolutions: Whereas We, the
representatives of the different Circles
of the Wolfe Tone Society Of the
United States and Canadas, condemn the
cruel action of the British government tow.
ards our fellow countrymen, we, as men
having true and unselfsh love for our ma
tive land that IS only to be found amongst
Irishmen. Therefore be it resolved, that we
shall, with all our ability and zeal, as Irish
soldiers in our sacred cause, pledge our
selves to work with one great object, viz, to
use our best efforts to free Irishmen from
the cruel yoke of England, that has kept
her bound down by the chains of slavery.
We are led to believe in what Edmund
Burke affirmed century ago, that Ireland
has learned at last that justice
is to be had from England
only when demanded at the swords point;
and. furthermore, we have learned through
sad experience that England never comedies
anything to oul mother country except
when moved to do so by force. Resolved,
that while we are not in any way connected
with nihlists, we believe it is the righteous
and honorable resistance Of a people nhu-
manly treated by cruel government, and
that it is the last resort available to victims
cboked and meuaced beyond all other re.
sistance. God means that unjust powers
shall be insecure, and every move of the
great giant PROSTATE in chains, whether it
be to lift a single dagger or stir civil
revolt Is a lesson of Justice
