Morris tribune., 1883-07-14

A German teacher who has spent
twelve years in the United States has
gone back to Germany and written q
book on this country. His explanation
of the feeling in favor of prohibition and
total abstinence is that Americans do
not know how to drink" Germans in
going to saloon will sit down and talk
soberly and deliberately with their
friends, finally order glass of beer and
drink at their leisure. They come for
a chat and social intercourse. the beer
drinking being secondary affair.
But the American gulps down his glass
of beer in haste, orders another and an
other until he thinks he is full, indulg-
ing as rule in talk which cannot be re-
ported. There are grains of truth in the
observations of the German teacher, hut
probably the American way of drinking
is not much worse than the American
habit of creating" IF the American
feels the need of little stimulant, un-
less he is very far gone or very parsimo-
NOUS, he invites friend to join him, he
paying for both. The friend thinks he
must return the compliment,and ifthere
are half dozen of the party each thinks
he would be regarded as mean if he did
not ask all hands-and so a man who
really wanted but one glass, walks off
unsteadily with six drinks. If a man
wanting Z ham at grocery should ask
all his friends to take ham ct his ex-
pense, the performance would be scarce
ly more absurd.

ton.

vention was held at Harrisburg on Wednes-
day. A more harmonious convent n,

ments. was never held in the state. 1t be-
gan by making Col. Todd OF Carlisle its
temporary chairman, recognizing the Gar
field element, Coz. Todd having been Gar.
~ the unanimous selection of John Cessna;

These are the only offices to be chosen this

the platform, is a plank
which declares that after the national deDt
is paid, as fast as the conditions will permit,
the surplus revenue should be distributed
among the several states, on the sis OF pop
ulation, to relieve them from local taxation
and to enable them to educate
their people. TIL. other resolutions

NASBY ENLIGHTENED.
How He Was Converted on the Irish CUES
ton.

How He Was Converted on the Irish Cues
ton.
D. r. Locke (Nasby) tells, in the Toledo
Blade, how he was converted by Redpath
on the Irish question. Redpath only said,
"Come with me-" He declined to argue;
he merely showed Mr.. Locke a series of
pictures, of rags and starvation. of destitu-
ton Understandable, of misery beyond the
power of tongue or pen to depict. He
counted, SIN five miles driye," five hun
dred women without shoes or stockings
walking in the cold mud. In Fermoy, "a
tolerable prosperous village" for Ireland,
the women not only had neither shoes nor
stockings, but they had scarcely ANYTHING
to wear Locke saw evicted tenants
hungry, barefooted, bare-legged, and bare
headed women, and pretty women at that
trudging along the cold, wet road in
drenching rainstorm. And next he saw
iying squadron of $50 soldiers-fne look
ing fellows, we'll fed, well mounted and
well armed with loaded carbines-riding
away from the scene of an eviction. Red
path invited "Nasby" into q typical cabin,
where in its single room, 10 feet
by -, with hole in the wall
for window, the wet earth for q
fDor, a smoky fire place IN one corner, re
introduced him to its seven occupants.
ABOUT the Three VI 1OuE
dressed in Ecanty cotton slips. were hud-
died. In another corner there was brood
of chickens, and a pig repeatedly poked
his snout in at the loose hanging door.
The little holding attached to the cabin had
been improved by three generations of
family tenants from three skillings to forty
shillings per acre year. In America Mr..
Locke thought the land for which the tenant
pays SO per acre rent might sell for 81 per
acre! In another cabin Mr., Locke saw a
bed consisting of four posts driven into
the ground, some stringers covered with
rough boards, and on the boards dry leaves
and heather covered by some old potato
sacks. This is the manner of living of
the Irish people, against whom Mr.. Glad
stone is employing the resources of civlliz-
alton" When MI. Locke entered the
Emerald Isle he was prejudiced against
the Irish. He says he tried to convince
MIR. Parnell that he was a demagogHe; that
the Irishh had no reason for agitation; that
Ireland could only be properly ruled by
the English; and that they ought to be
thankful to the kind providence that
had given them a superio: race to protect
and care for them" After day with
Redpath, Locke was wet, weary and mad.
The days sights, he says, were too hor-
rIbIe for talk" Mr.. Locke will not dis
pute any more with Mr.. Parnell.

March, 1882, to blow up the house at
Galway. If they had destroyed the house
and killed inmates they were to receive
$500. Failing to take life, they were to
receive f200 or $500. Five pounds of dyna-
mite were exploded on the window sill,
but little damage was done owing to the
lack of skill of the conspirators. The
Judge, in summing up, spoke strongly
against the prisoners,
Lord Edmund Fitzmaurice, under foreign
secretary, said the government had been
informed that the French Gag had been
hoisted on the New Hebrides islands. He
stated there was no cholera in either the
Egyptian or English army in Egypt. Lord
Fitzmaurice, replying to questions, stated
there was every reason to suppose the
death in Alexandria, said to have been
from cholera, was not from that disease.

The Thoughtful Contributor.

From the Cincinnati Saturday Night.
81 want to write for your paper" said
solemn looking man, as he paused on
the threshold of the editorial sanctum.
CHATS right" replied the editor,
without looking up from his work, for it
was publication day and there was a
stern demand for copy that could not
be denied. "When you write for it be
particular and give you name and post
Office address distinctly"
81 WILL" said the solemn man, step
ping in and taking chair,
"And don't forget to enclose the
money. Some folks write for the paper
and forget to put in any money. Then
they complain because the paper doesn't
come"
"Do you want money when a man
writes for your paper?" asked the SOL
emn man, as his face acquired an addi-
tional elongation.
"Of course. What dye think we
print paper for? Fun? Not much. II
q man writes for the paper we suppose
he wants it, and if he wants it he must
pay for it."
"You don't understand" said the SOL
emn man; "what want is to write for
your paper"
THAT'S what you said before, and I
told you how to do it," replied the ed
itor testify, swinging around in hiSchair.
Though can't see why you can't SUBJ
scribe right here now, just rs wells to
wait until you get home and then write
for it. Though may be you haven't the
necessary two dollars with you. l re-
spect your independence. You don't

not prepared to pay for. That's
eff you write for it and inclose the

fear of that. Subscribers will confer

insinuated the solemn man.

said the man of solemn visage. II want

"Oh, that's it. Why didn't you say 80
before? Thought you wanted to sub

you couldn't write for my paper to be
sent without coming in and telling me
about it."
"You will like my letters"
"Can't say as TO that. The most inter-

Horrors of Heat in New York.

Last Saturday was the hotties. of the sea-
son in New York. Dozens of sanitary in
spectors from the board OF health pa trolled
the ill-smelling side districts, where thous.
ands of men women and children were
sitting in the tenement houses, surrounded
by dirt, disease and squalor. The ambu-
lance gongs were heard all day long, as lit
tie ones dropped and died. The
heated air overlooked in the houses,
and the results was frightful. In twenty
four hours ending at noon 1872 children
under five years of age was overcome. The
hospitals were filled with patients The
number dying in the city during
the week ending at noon Saturday was l,
O51, as against sos for the same period last
year. This is the greatest weekly mortality
since 1881. Weary horses dropped in their
traces, and the street railways were block
AIDED frequently from this cause. Many
horses were shot to end their sufferings.
