THE condition of Ireland is no
better, and soon more prisons will
be in demand to hold the victims
of English persecution. The Lon
don Times, would shift responsible
ty for the disturbed condition of the
country from English authority to
Archbishop Croke. This prelate
simply thinks hardly of the acts of
men engaged in desolating tie do
mestic hearths of his flock, turning
them adritt from a land they have
held from time immemOrial, confis-
eating the produce of their labor.
and sentencing them to starvation,
which Mr.. Gladstone said was the
equivalent of eviction. A man in
his position cannot be expected to
see things in the 'dry light" which
floods the Office of a London editor.
Especially is he unlikely to do so,
when he finds his words of sympa-
thy touch Irish society to the very
depths. and rally the people around
his pastoral staff with a unanimity
which shows that there is but one
mind among them on this subject.
To denounce Archbishop Croke is
to indict the whole nation; and
Burke once reminded his English
friends that no one need try to in
dict a whole people-nor, for. that
matter, to coerce them.

A FEW days ago Senator Bayard
was invited to be present in Balti-
more at the annual festival of the
German Orphan Asylum. In the
course of All address, made on this
occasion, he said:
at has been my lot for many years
to assist in making laws for the gov
ernment of this country, but the

cial and political arrangement and
the forces that most Importantly in

regulation of the actual lives aud oc-
cupations of the people,. L mean
how few of those occupations which
engross the greater portion of our
time, cause our labors and anxious
consideration, in which we are
most deeply interested, spend
most of our money upon,
and bestow our powers Ill every
way, are those to which any statute
law or constitution of government
compels us. The best part of
mans life is in the world of the nat
ural affections, and that realm has
laws,of its own, that neither know
nor heed king, kaiser nor presi-

IT is THOUGHT just now, es-
pecially since General Howard, has
become so LiOus coTnmandant of
cadets at West Point, that it will
be proper act on The part of the
administration to start,a new hunt
after the thieves who stole the
money of the negro depositors out
of the Freedmen's bank. There are
many blots upon the Republican
party, but few are blacker than this
Freedmen's bank robbery andsthe
utter indifference of the party to
the act. Instead of hotly pursuing
the thieves and making them dis
gorge, the Republicans appointed
three commissioners to swind mp
the affairs of the bank, y at
salaries of $4,000 each. These
salaries and other expenses
were paid out of money which
should have been given to the de-
positors in the bank, to the amount
of $4,000 year. A large number
of the 61,17l depositors are now
dead, and thousands of the living
depositers will get nothing The
s'wards. of the Republican partyp
have indeed been swindled villain
ously, by their alleged guardian.

The census bureau is short OF
funds. One reason ascribed is, that
the amount of blank forms and OF
circulars and tabular statements,
which it has been necessary to have
printed, has been enormous. This
printing has been done by the gov
ernment establishment, which is as
extravagant and as corrupt con-
Germ as ever existed in the District
of Columbia. 1t is not at all sur
prising that Gen. Walker should es-
innate that if he had had his print
ing done under contract with pri-
vate parties he could already have
saved at least 100000. Such is the
history of government printing
offices.

The New York Star says that Mr..
Tilden knew all about the star route
frauds two years ago; that he at
that time employed detectives, and
put them on the track ofthe thieves,
and that he has evidence which
would send good many leading
Republicans to the penitentiary !;
yet Uncle Sammy failed to give the
investigation to the public when his
star went down as presiden-
tial candidate. Had he been
nominated instead of Hancock,
the whole batch of information
would have been turned loose upon
the country with most damaging eff
feet upon the Republican party.
But the cunning old fellow, it is
said, holds on to them for. pur-
pose, and it may be that in time

Sunday Notes.

One of the most important changes
in the New Version is the omission
of what is called doxology, viz
"For Thine is the Kingdom, and the
power and the glory forever, Amen"
The revisers find that these words
were not in the original gospel, and
regard them as the unholy words of
our heather Aryan ancestors. The
New York Tribune explains that this
Interpolation can be found almost
literally in one of the hymns of the
Zend Avesta, to which students give
an antiquity as great as 1000 years
before Christ. In the hymn ad-
dressed to the Greater and Good
Principle, occurs the following pas
sage: "To him belongs the kingdom,
the might and the power" This
ascription seems to be one of the
earliest expressions Of worship
adopted by the Aryan mind. We
believe, also, but are not certain, that
the omitted words are not recognize
ed by the Catholic church, and have
never been included in the Lords
prayer as incorporated in its ritual
and invocation.
Touching the strikes of the Sun
day beer-servers, the Philadelphia
american says: "To the casual OBJ
server the German is man who re-
CARDS Sunday only as an extra day,
on which to coin an extra dollar, or
if he be luStig, then as day of
harmless registering. But to those
who serve early and late, day in and
day out, the need of physical rest,
the need of a practical Sunday has
SO sharply asserted itself in weary
bones and worn muscles that they
have deemed a strike to be neces-
sary, in order to obtain the sover-
eign panacea of cash. This
movement which does not en-
tirely spring from low wages
will call to mind forci-
bly, the prediction of Mr.. Thomas
Hughes, who saw SO much evil re-
sulting from the abolition of the
workingmen's Sabbath. Possibly,
too, may be remembered the results
of the German commission, appoint
ed to examine into the Sunday
question in Prussia, to ascertain If
the German Sabbath" was not
mistake, on the ground of the ma
tional health. Religious questions
aside, there can be but one opinion
as to the advisability in this electric
age Of working men seven days in
the week. 1t is unwise, ill-advised
and sure to bear fruit that was not |
intended in the planting. The need |
OF rest is felt universally and even |
the power fgood must pale before
the supreme desperation of long
weariness."

Farm Notes.

-Hornless cattle have been placed
on the same footing as other breeds
in respect to premiums at the next
st. Louis fair. This breed promises
now 10 become as popular as have
been the short-horns.
When corn and oats are ground
up together they afford an excellent
feed for horses, when fed with hay
or wheat straw which furnish bulk.
When the grain is so ground to-
gether, in equal parts by weight, ten
pounds of it, with twenty pounds of
the cut straw mixed with il, will
make three fair rations, or one days
for an average horse having moder-
ate exercise
An historical tree has lately
been destroyed in Greece-a cypress,
described by .Pausinias 400 b. c.,
and one of the two largest in the
Peloponnesus. Some one hundred
and sixty feet high, the tree had a
diameter at the base of ten feet and
a circumference of twenty-five feet
at mans height, and of two hundred
and forty feet where the branches
were most developed. Some care
less gypsies camping in its shade set
fire to the tree, not a vestige surviv-
ing. Now the only giant tree left in
the province is huge plantain near
Naugactus, ON the Gulf of Lepanto
which is equally as large, but some
six centuries younger.
The largest body of people in
this country keeping themselves
separate from the rest of the popula-
tiOn are the Mennonites in Kansas.
They are German in language and
customs, though they came from
southern Russia. They undertook to
establish village life in Kansas simi-
lar to that which they had left in
Europe, the farms running off from
| the village in long, narrow strips
but this plan was not found practi-
cable, and the farming is now done
in the ordinary American manner.
Where the land is owned in quarter
sections, however, four houses are
built in adjacent corners, enabling
the inhabitants to become near
neighbors. AS rule, the Menno-
mites are richer than the average
Western farmers. They are not
communistic, as has been said,
though clannish,. and opposed to
mixing socially or in business with
the people around them.
"A farmer in Indiana gives the
following result of an experiment
with bone-dust and wood ashes. He
says: 81 applied 600 pounds of dry,
unleached ashes to the acre, and
sowed wheat on that, and the result
was only six bushels to the acre.
Adjoining this tract / drilled in 200
pounds of bone-dust and the three
acres produced twenty bushels to
the acre, being ahsincreased yield of
fourteen bushels over the tract sown
with wood ashes. The following
year L used 500 pounds of bone dust
on that plat where l had previously
sown 600 pounds of ashes, and the
result was forty bushels of wheat to
the acre, being double what the bone
produced alone. This experiment
satisfied me that ashes alone or
bohe-dust alone would not give me
a yield that paid to my satisfaction.
This acre with ashes yielded six
bushels. but when the two were COM
bined L harvested forty bushels.
This shows what experiments and a
small expenditure of money will do
for the progressive farmer"

THE ANr1-MoNoPoLY MOVEMENT
What is known as the anti--monop

What is known as the anti-monop-
oily movement, recently inaugurated
in the state of New York, is
destined at no distant day to play
very important part in the history
of this country. 1t has already made
itself felt in connection with public
affairs at Albany, where the protest
of the League against the election of
certain corporation candidates for
United States Senators, was read
before the legislature; and, although
the movement may now be consld-
cred in its incipiency, close observers.
appear to coincide in the opinion
that it will be taken up all over the
country, and especially in the
west. In Texas, compare
lively new country, and where
the money of the rich cor
porations, in building railways and
developing the country, is doing so
much for the state, the necessity for
such a movement can not be seen.
But not SO in the older and veal
thier states. There the corporations
have attained such enormous power
that they are enabled to control all
legislation and influence to a great
extent every line of business. So
patent has this fact been made that
the people of the northern and cas-
tern states. have become alarmed,
and this new movementis is intended
as remedy against the powerful
and growing evil; and, even now, it
is conceded that the next elections
in those states, and probably in some
of the western states, will be fought
more upon the issue of monopoly
and anti-monOpoly than otherwise.
The issue goes much farther than
merely controlling the railways and
regulating freights and tariffs, for it
contemplates every potent element
of and embraces all the questions
that have sprung out of the growth
and progress of corporations. This
great element in the worlds affairs
incorporated capital-has assumed
proportions that appal lawmakers,
while forcing the people to entertain
fears of their safety, and which, if
not speedily checked, may place this
country in situation almost
beyond redemption, by bringing
about system of peonage.
in another form, such as now
agitates other countries in the
Old World. Senator Bayard, one
of the deepest thinkers among
our statesmen, has given to the peo-
pie, in recent interview, his we'll
grounded fears on the subject, and
it appears from the press of the
north and east that the senator's
grave apprehensions are beginning
10 be largely shared by majority
of the people of those sections.
