Mr.. Parnell, last NIGH, received ats pub
lie banquet in Dublin, a sum Of $4,000,
subscribed by, or extorted from the "starv-
ing peasantry Of Ireland" and from other
sources better able, whether more willing
or not, to pay what was demanded Of them.
II lisa very considerable sum, and it has
not been got together without prolonged
exertion, nor without some use Of the ma
chinery Of terror which the Land League
long since organized for different purposes.
II has taken this impulsive and enthusiasts
tic people nearly a year to make up its
mind 10 provide the money for Mr.. Par
nelIs testimonial. The proposal was
first proposed last February. At
the end Of month the subscriptions
reached the figure Of e500. When 1t be-
came clear that the spontaneous plan
yould never succeed, committee was
formed with the Lord Mayor Of Dublin at
liza head. The drum was beaten and the
hat went round. The clergy preached for
Il. The Pope denounced them, and forth
with Roman Catholic Ireland affirmed its
ecclesiastical loyalty by rehelling against
the authority OF the Head Of the Church.
Contributions came in from America and
from Australia. Ultimately the total OF
E25, $50 13s. was scraped together IN Ire.
land. It each one OF them had given q
shilling to the Parnell fund, 1t would have
reached, from that source alone, ESQ, 600.
But their gratitude does not attain to the
average OF quarter Of Q dollar apiece.

Mr.. Parnell out Of reluctant donors, l say

course am not going to name him. To
name him might be 10 make him target

Nor shall describe him in way to mark
his identity. But may say that he is an
Irishman who knows Ireland as well as 1t
can be known; q man OF very wide exper-
fence and with special means OF knowlege;
iair.minded; trusted by both sides,
40 far as any man can be
said to be trusted among O people

Throughout Ireland the screw was put on
for the Parnell Fund. In the districts

part OF this fund was raised. The word
commonly used to describe operations Of
this sort is blackmail.

shoy: A hall dozen politicians, most OF

were chatting in the Metropolitan Hotel
last night. The subject Of conversation
was their fayorite Wanda One by one they
went over various delicious morsels, smack

Each had bis fayorite. Wade Hampton
liked quail on toast and bourbon whisky.

Brown sat with sneer playing above his

Mr.. Frank Hurd, Of Ohio, is man who
can support with plausible argument any
cause he champions. He is man who
asserts himself and pushes his opinions.

In the party caucus he will make himself
heard. Having been chosen by Speaker
Carlisle and Mr.. Morrison as q member Of

i, lifted into greater Importance, and what
he says Of tariff revision becomes more
worthy Of notice. In conversation with
reporter Mr.. Hurd said; "What We want
is absolute freedom Of trade. 1t Is repug-
nant to my sense Of right that any citizen
should be debarred from spending his
money where he can buy the cheapest"
This declaration has the merit Of being
easily understood. Absolute freedom Of
trade does away with all duties on imports
and knocks down the custom houses. Il
gives to the English manufacturer and his
workman the came chance in the Ameri.

say. the American workman would have a
chance to work for the wages which the
English workman gets, provided the Anne.

1t was genuine good old fashioned
Christmas day after ali, with q keen frosty
atmosphere which brought the healthy
blood 10 the face of sleigh-rider and pc
destrian, and made the family gatherings
draw closer to the rousing fires o. wood
and anthracite.
As of old, when the first streaks of dawn
had painted the eastern horizon, those not
outgrown the charming legendary lore
of ST. Nicholas were up to delighsedly OK
pore the mysteries of hanging hose, while
all the world reveled in gift tokens of
friendship and love from his Or her circle
OF friends most dear. No palace too
grand and stately for the exchange of
Christmas gifts in all the lands where civ
ilization has set It's foot, on the grand day
which marks the birth of mems
RedeemeF, and no howell too
humble that something of brightness may
not glide over its threshold, TO usher in
the anniversary of the angelic herald, who
nearly nineteea censariss ago appeared to
the shepherds on Jordan's plans announc-
ing "Peace on earth and good will 70
men,"
To the sanctuary, or on pleasure or pas
time en- route, it was grand thought to
feel that even az We were do
ing, all the millions on millions of
the teeminR tide of eaFth's citizenship
were as keenly on this loyal observance
bent, yet, within ihs memery of some OF
Us dear Christmas had grown from par
tial observance in our own land to shat
widespread recognition 30 far ante dating
as in Europe, where once the Christmas
carol, the mistletos boagh, and Kris Krin-
gle and tree, seemed to US to be romantic
tale of fiction rather than an annual
reality.
But this general observance of Christ
mas day, which has swept down before
it all barriers which may have been injsr-
posed by human intolerance and big otry,
and sown itself broad and deep in the
human heart would seem to have wishin
itself the real leven of the promise Of the
sacred writ that before the coming of tao
King of Kings all nations and
tongues and kindred shall with
millennium voice call upon his name in
alteration and bow before the sceptered
GROSS of salvation from the rising to the
setting sun.
Christmas is truly 6 mile stone most
prominent in human life. 1t is on this
day We seem to most wildly remember
our childhood.
''The orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled
wildwood,
And every loved spot which our infancy knew"
and those both older and younger wse
have dropped away from our person
al companionship either to STEM the cur
rent of life and business in other localities,
or, who having finished the race are sleep
ing beneath she great canopy of snow
and sky awaiting with Us the living, the
summons TO Christmas day, which IN
like the one just vanished as fleeing
cloud, shall have NO end.
