Especial to the SENTINEL

LONDON, Feb. 17.-In the House Of Com.
mons to-day, during a discussion on the
Protection bill, Biggar Home Ruler), had
to withdraw an observation charging Fors.
ter, Chief Secretary for Ireland, with vim
dictiveness. His withdrawal being a quail
flied one, he was obliged to ~retract uncon-
ditionally. McCune (Home Ruler, being
persistently irrelevant, Playfair, Deputy
Speaker under the new rules Of the House,
ruled that he was no longer heard.
In the House Of Commons the Post
master-General simply replied to a ques-
ton whether the warrants authorizing him
to open letters in transit would be pre-
scented to the House. The answer was
greeted with prolonged cheers from the
Tory side.
Gladstone gave notice to-day that unless
the Committee on the Coercion bill closed
tonight, he will move tomorrow that the
Chairman shall report the bill before mid
night. This motion will be in accordance
with the Speakers new rules, made to or
der for the occasion.
PARIS, Feb. I7.-Rochefort publishes in
a local paper an account of his interview
with Parnell, who told Rochefort that one
of the chief objects of his journey is to
contradict in the French press all the cal
umnies of the English press on his cause,
his friends and himself.
NEW YORK. Feb. 1.-THE Herald's Paris
cable says Parnell and O'Kelly have been
busy all day receiving the French Journal
lists. O'KeIly assures me that ever since
the Land L~eaguers have been in Paris they
have been followed day and night by Gov
eminent detectives. Parnell telegraphed
to Dublin to-day to contradict the state
ment OF a London press agency, that mem
bers OF the Land League in Paris assert
that the agrarian outrages in Ireland were
by the Fenisn party to damage
the constitutional agitation organized by
the Land League, and that the revolver
carried by Michael Davitt was to protect
him against a possible Fenian attack. No
member Of the Land League Executive
in Paris, or elsewhere, has
any such statements. Messrs. Par
nell and O'Kelley leave for London in the
morning to oppose the Coercion bill in the
House.
PARIS, Feb. 17.-Parnell has promised
On his return to Ireland to send Victor
Hugo a letter upon the political situation
n. that country. Hugo said he would re-
ply to such a letter by a manifesto to Eu-
in favor of the claims of Ireland.
LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE conference be-
.ween Parnell and Rochefort has excited
much indignation among the Catholic
members of Parnells party.
In response to a request from the Land
League that he visit America, Parnell sent
he following to be read at the Dublin Land
meeting to-day
PARIS, Feb. IS, 1881.

are worthy of consideration, L have de-
cided that it is my duty to remain In Ire
land and in Parliament during the present
crisis, and for reasons which | will shortly
detail you. Our movement in America
although Of great Importance and capable
of immense development, depends entirely
on the stand made in Ireland. II we are
worthy Of the occasion here, the American
people and the Irish nationalist in Amer
lea will give us proportionate sympathy
and practicable help. If the spirit and
courage of our people at home be men
toned, the resources of the whole OF the
Irish people abroad will be at our disposal
while, if there is the slightest hlnching or
reaction in Ireland, it will produce dlsas-
trous results in America.

The Sprague divorce suit is set for trial
at Kingston, Rhode Island, for the 2lst
instant. The political and social gossips
of the East are all anxiety for the com.
mencement Of the proceedings. The trial
will be conducted by IN array of distin-
guished legal talent. and the proceedings
will be spread before the world by a
brilliant corps of newspaper reporters.
Altogether it is likely to prove a deplor-
able scandal, hardly second to that of
the Beecher case.

The Chicago Times is becoming satiri-
cal over the approaching retirement of
the man who will be known in history as
"the fraudulent President of the United
States" The Times says: "Mr. Hayes
is about to leave the Presidency and re-
tire to the shades of Fremont. He was a
great and gallant officer during the war
and saved the Union. He has been Gov
ernor of Ohio, which is the greatest of
human honors. He has impoverished
himself in the conscientious discharge of
the social duties imposed upon him by
the Presidency. He will retire poverty
stricken.

NEBRASKA is wrestling with the ques-
tion. "Can an Indian vote ?" 1t seems
that a Winnebago Indian by the name of
John Fix put in a claim for the right of
suffrage at the recent election. which was
refused, and now Mr., Elk has put in a
claim for So, 900 damages. The attorney
for the Indian holds that under the
Fourteenth amendment the Indian. has a
right to vote.

A gentleman writes US that his

three dollars for the Trade List. We
repeat that we don't want subscribers

paper is worth the world, or if 1t 10
not is it his ew n fault. If the county
paper is properly encouraged, it may

more value to the people in interest
of whom it is issued than can be
found in all the city papers in the
United States. No man can afford to
be without the paper which publishes
the official advertisements Of his
county. the public sales, the markets,

SOUND ADvICE.-We advise all
young people to acquire early in life
the habit of using good language,
both in speaking and writing. and
also to abandon the use Of slang
words and phrases. The longer they
live, the more difficult the acqusi.
ton of good language becomes. If
many of ones early years he passed
in abuse, the unfortunate victim of
neglected education is very probably
doomed to talk slang for life. Money
is not necessary to secure this educa-
ton. Every man has it in his power.
He has to use the language which
he reads, instead of the slang which
he hears, to form tastes from the best
speakers and poets of the country !;
to treasure up choice phrases in his
memory, and habituate himself to
their use. avoiding at the same time
the pedantic precision and bomhast
which show rather the weakness of
vain ambition than the polish of an
educated mind.

MILLsToNEs DIsCARDED.-Mill-
stones have been discarded at the
great flour manufacturing centre,
Minneapolis, Minnesota, and the
Hungarian rollers put in their plac-
es. With the latter the grain is not
ground, but cracked and mashed.
These rollers are about thirty inches
long and eight inches in diameter.
1t takes five sets of steel rollers to
finish the -four. Each set of rollers
runs closer than the preceding. After
the wheat passes each set of rollers it
is bolted or sifted through coarse
cloth. This cloth let's the disintegra-
ted particles Of wheat through, and
passes off the bulky and large pieces,
which are run through another and
q closer set of rollers, and cracked
again. The last rollers have little
else but wheat hulls and the waxy
germs of the wheat. which do not
crack up, but mash down like a piece
of wax. The germ of kernel of
wheat is not good food. 1t makes
-four black. By the old milestone
process this waxy germ was ground
up with the starchy portion, and
bolted through with the -four. By
the new system of cracking the kerr
mel instead of grinding it, this germ
is not ground, but fiattened out, and
sifted or bolted out, while the starchy
portions of the wheat are crushed
into powdered wheat or -four. So

Tribune. 1t takes ninety cars daily

Democratic Reorganization.

Frank Hurd, Representative in
Congress of the Toledo (Ohio) dis
trict. and rising politician of EN-.
phatic views. has been expressing
his opinions in regard to the plat
fern and programme adopted in
New York at the Cooper Institute
mass meeting on Tuesday night.
Mr.. Hurd can afford to speak in an
Independent way, since he has been
a hard-mOney, free-trade Democrat
in soft-money protectiOnist commu.
nifty. 1t is his opinion that not only
the Democracy of New York City
but of the whole country needs re-,
organizing. 1t must 60 back to the
principles of Jefferson to escape per.
petual defeat. Democrats to the
front, old wings to the rear" is the
motto which he quotes with apprs.
val from the letter of zone of the
best informed men In the West"
The State rights question. as laid
down in the Kentucky resolutions of
'98, would still be Democratic doc.
trine. but they are precluded by the
fourteenth amendment, which puts
the discussion of this subject cut of
the domain of practical politics. The
courts, and not Congress, must de.
eide how extensive is the sphere of
that amendments operation. The
real questions for the Democracy to
go before the people on, in Mr..
Hurd's views, are: First, that of
hard money, including the discon-
tinuance Of the coinage of the dis.
honest silver dollar, which. with the
silver certificates. defrauds the poor.
Second, taking away the legal tender
power from the paper currency of
the United States, which is necessary
to an absolute resumption of specie

Maryland Republican politicians.
and especially those seeking Office,
says the An,ericrn, are considerably
exercised as to the distribution of
the patronage for the State of Mary
land by President Garfield. The col.
lectOrship seems to be the great prize
sought for by many, and thsse whe
are out in the cold now are waiting
anxiously for March 4th as the Cd.
portunity to make raid on the
President. But it may not, perhaps,
be very comforting for such to be
told that it is not likely that Prssi
dent Garfield will remove any off.
Gals, except for cause, until the ex.
piratiOn of their commissions. While
on short visit to Washington last
month, General Garfield asked Pres
ident Hayes to make appointments
in all cases where the commission of
the official expires before the 4th of
March. It is generally believed,
therefore, that General Garfield will
regard the commission as emitting
the holder to continue in office until
the expiration of his term. The
commission of Collector Thomas
will not expire until next Novem.
Der, and it is quite likely that the
new President will not think about
this appointment until then. There
are no grounds ON which an applica-
ton for his removal can be based, as
even his political opponents admit.
The term of many of the other fed.
eral Offices will not expire until to.
wards the end of the year. The first
to expire will be those of the mar
shall, postmaster and naval officer.
There will be strong fight against
some Of these officials. .

The leading Democrats are now

other. The Southern and the West
ern "unterrified" are making un-
kindly remarks about the Eastern
Democrats. Poor Sam Randall comes
in for more than his share Of con-
temptuous opinion, while Barnum,
gets it right and left. Some allowance
can be made for unpleasant feeling
existing in the party on account of
the disappointment caused by the de-

get the expected offices. which he

Still another feature of the year has
been, of course, the enormous freight
traffic, the benefit of which has been
shared by all the trunk lines. The
passenger business also shows deci-
ded increase, and what is especially
agreeable, we observe tat the man.
ayers of some of the Western lines
lave decided to reduce local passen.
ger rates from four, five and six cents
a mile to- q uniform charge of three
cents per mile. This is a stroke of
sound policy. The Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad adopted a similar
course year ago, and its revenues
were very considerably increased
thereby. The outlook in general for
q prosperous railway year is decided
ly suspicious, and the only cause for
apprehension is the vast amount of
railway building that is going on in
the West and Southwest. 1t was this
which brought on the panic of 1873,
and although the financial condition
of the country is apparently sound,
it cannot be otherwise than that the
steady drain of money for this pur-
pose must tend to produce stringsncy
in financial circles. Some of these
new roads will probably pay from
the start, but the majority will I'M
doubtedly not pay dividends for years
yet, and capital snce invested in
them is practically locked up for an
indefinite period. The danger ofan-
other panic may not be very immi.
nent, but it is we'll to remember that
the causes still exist.

THE MOREY. CHINESE LETTER.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-1he Morey-
Chinese letter has been pronounced a
forgery by the Truth Journal which
originally published the letter. The
following is published rs an open
letter from the Truth to General Jas.
A. Garfield, repudiating the Morsy
letter and declaring it a forgery:
ITO Jas. A. Garfield, President elect.
Sir After searching investigs-
tirn, in which we have spared neither
time, energy or expense, we have
traced the Morey letter to its origin,
and ascertained that is is a forgery.
This acknowledgment is due To you
from the journal in which the letter
first appeared. 1t is made vOluntar.
ily, and as an act of simple Justice,
for while we believed as we did un.
til few weeks past that you were
the author of the letter, no bribe
could tempt nor threat intimidats
us into making n contrary statement.
Having ascertained, however, our
ei ror. it is qualification to US to give
the same prominence to this acknOwl
edgeIHent that we gave to the forged
letter itself and thereby make all the
amends in aur power for q wrong of
which the Truth was an unconscious
instrument.
Upon the instant that our investi
cations convinced us the letter was
spurious we privately Informed you
of our conclusion. At that time we
were advised that the ends of justice
might be impeded by public avow-
al, such as we now make; but, as
will appear in an appended letter
from B. G. Jayne, Esq. that cOnsid.
Grafton no longer exists, and we do
10 day what an observance of the prin.
ciples upon which the Truth was
established, and by which it has been
conducted, would have compelled US
to do Immediately upon discovering
that the letter was a forgery, and
which nothing could have then pre-.
vented but the desire to fastsn the
guilt where 1t belongs: The Truth
published the letter in good faith,
believing that you were its author.
While we 10 believed neither temp.
huence us to repudiate it. Likewise
having satisfied ourselves of its
spacious character, no false pride or
selfish motive OF any kind can restrain
us from Announcing our conclusion
and thereby allaying the doubt that
now exists respecting its authenticity.
Yours respectfully,
