The Man Who Made the Lion rremble.

WATERBURY, Conn. March 1S.-At the
close of lecture on st. Patrick, by Father
Lilley, of Ohio, tonight, Father Walsh in
troduced Patrick Egan, former secretary Of
the Land League, as "the little man who
made the British Lion tremble." Egan said
Ireland is to-day in the hands of her most
brutal and coercive foe, who is hanging in
nocent men, bayoneting women and shoot
ing down children. England, lie said, with
her spies, informers and packed juries, is
trying to crush out the national life of Ire
land, but there is new Ireland on this side
of the Atlantic which she cannot trample
out. and which will hold her to reckoning
for the crimes committed at home. He be-
lieved Ireland's long night of slavery was
approaching its dawn, and that the measures
for her national independence would be sue
cessful.

PATRICK EGAN.


oketcn OIL the career OF the EX-IreaSurer OF
the Land League.
Patrick Egan is the son of Mr. Francis
Egan. and was born in Ballymahon, County
Longford. on the 18th of August, 1841. His
father pursued the occupation of farmer, but
owing to the distress of 1876, 1S47 and 1s4S
had to abandon agriculture. He then made
Dublin his place of residence, where, at an
early age, after having been a pupil of the
Christian Brothers, Patrick Egan was placed
in the office of a corn merchant and miller
Here he manifested excellent business ability,
and rose to be accountant and confidential
clerk. For more than twelve years past he
has been co-partner in the firm above men
toned.
Mr. Egan began to take all active share in
politics in 1864 as a Nationalist. In 1868 he
was one of the founders of the Amnesty As
sociation. which gtated successfully for the
release of Fenian prisoners. He presided at
the meeting held in Dublin on July A. 1876
which celebrated the centenary of American
independence and adopted q congratulatory
address to the people of the United States
A suitable acknowledgment of this address
was made by the House of Representatives
Mr.. Egan has been prominent supporter OF
the Home-rule movement since its incep-
ton. and favored the vigorous policy ini-
tlated by It's younger and more advanced
members. He acted as honorary treasurer OF
the Irish Land League and retired to Paris
when its operations were put down by law.
He insists that its accounts are i'll satisfac-
tory condition. and protests against
his leaving Dublin for the United
States being regarded as flight. At
the same time he declines to state
by what vessel he came to this country. He
is a small, short man, somewhat gray. While

THE DEMOCRAT.
Mineral Point, Friday, Sept. a., 1883.
Geo. Crawford. Robt. M. Crawford,
EDITORS AND PRoPRIEToRs

The Chicago Tribune of September l.
published an interview with Col. w. T.
Villas, who said he regarded demo
cratic victory in the national CAM
paign of 1884 as foregone conclusion
He had never felt better satisfied with
the attitude of his party than at the
present.
The time had come, he believed
when the Democratic party was about
to cast aside the expediency policy of
temporizing with local issues and
would battle bravely for a principle
the principle of tariff reform. which
was becoming more important than
mere party success.
If the party pronounced boldly and
uncompromisingly against a protect
i've tariff next year he felt sure of the
result. Certainly nothing was TO be
gained by taking any other stand, for
no protectionist Republicans were
going TO vote the the Democratic
ticket even if il did favor their inter
ests. They had the Republican party
pledged and ready 10 protect them, and
that there was little or no expression
er thought that the Democrats were
divided between Tilden and Nc
Donald. and, the former out of the
field, they would certainly be for Nc
Donald, who, in his judgment, was a
very strong candidate ana would, if
nominated, carry the country.
nf OH III nr.l1I
who was very close to Tilden, had
told him quite recently that Tilden's
candidacy was out of the question, and
he was in a position to know. Col.
Villas further said that he had been in
vited out to Iowa to make some
speeches, but feared he would not be
able to go. \ Democratic victory in
Iowa on Il tariff-reform platform
would be an immense step in the
right direction, and would give that
policy an immense impetus.
He understood on all sides that a
Democratic legislature was almost
an assured fact. The Democratic
party in Wisconsin, he said, would
make al aggressive fight next year,
and it was by no means certain that
they could not carry the State, The

Summation was the Scandinavian vote.
and that vote, hitherto solidly Repub-
lican. was splitting, and with proper
management quite large faction of it
could be cast for the Democratic
ticket
In conclusion, Col. Villas said that he
rather looked for Arthur'S nomination,
and would be glad to see it, as he
would be an easy man to beat. There
were elements i'll New York which
never could be concentrated on

The frosts of last Friday

The trosts of last Friday and Sat
urday nights did very great damage to
the corn crop throughout the whole
northwest, In Southern Wisconsi u
the injury is very serious, and futher
north the damage is still greater
amounting in some places to almost
total destruction. Corn was exception
ally backward anyway, and it would
have taken a long spell of favorable
weather to insure anything like an
average crop, but the frost coming so
severe and SO early. has destroyed the
prospect for even a moderate yield of
good corn, and makes il quite certain
That the crop will be light and of very
poor quality.

The people of Shullsburg, the
other morning, thought that another
war had broken out They were
aroused from their slumbers at an
early hour by the booming of cannon
and the ringing of bells. For few
moments there was hurrying to and
fro, and mounting fences and
boxes in hot haste. The cause of
the alarm was soon learned. There
was to be an excursion to Dubuque
that day and in order to get editors
Law and McClellen out of bed in
time to go, it was fonnd necessary
to bring out the big cannon. The
effort proved success, as both ed
itors took in the excursion and gave
very interesting accounts of it in
their papers.
