The Irish Patriot Tells Chicago Re-

the Situation.
He DOesn': Like Tarncll'- Policy
Experiments in New Work to
show What Can BE Done
With Dynamite

CHICAGO, July 2 -O'Donovan Rosa being
IN the city was called upon by press re-
porter to get his views on the Irish gu estion
from his own lips,
Mr.. P w Grove of Peoria who is almost
as well known as Rosa, was present during
the interview
Mr.. Rosa said that the object of his visit
was to attend the meeting at West Twelfth
Street Turner hall, and to say few words
in favor of supporting the families of the
men who fell in battle for Ireland against
England
''Do you refer to the killing of Burke and
Cavendish
81 do. When the Irishmen in America
learn to speak as they feel, the name of Joe
Brady will be held in reverence. The Eng
lishman who goes to Ireland to levy taxes in
the name of a foreign power ought to be
slain. England will have the upper hand of
us until we fight her with her own weapons
The English have no conjunction about kill
ing us.l Ireland's only resource is war, AND
what is war but the killing of the enemy
Before Ireland is free the Irish must kill al
the Enghshmen who have usrrped the gov
eminent of Ireland, or kill SO many that the
others will be glad to- leave the country
Ninety-nine out of every hundred Irishmer
here in your own city think as do on this
question"
"Why are they not as outspoken as your
Their interests deter them from speaking
their minds publicly. English capital anc
English-blooded employers run this country
and for man to speak as do would be a
much as his livelihood is worth The Irish il

The Nes.eoch Failure.

CHICAGO, July 2-The creditors of Nc.
Geoch, Everpgham & Co, held a meeting
in the call board room, at which propositions
for settlement were made, but Receiver
Bensley when asked what they were declined
to say:
81 am not al liberty Co state what the pro
position will be, but it will be cash, and quite
as good one as people have any reason to
expect. In my Judgment it win he readily
accepted by all the parties, and if it is it will
bring very much relief to the creditors here
on the board of trade"
''What are the liabilities?n
81 have heretofore stated that the indebt-
edness was SG000,000 l would be fair to say
that 81 GOO 900 of this was to the banks of this
city, and that they were secured by lard by
pothecated with them for loans So the in
debtedness outside amounts to about s., 000,:
600 most of il in this city. There was a con,
siderable amount up in margins which has

IDLE WOODEN MILLS.

One would be led to believe from the
way the republican press praise a
protective tariff, that everything was
moving along smoothly in the mannfac-
turing line. In a recentreview of the New
England wooden mills, the Boston ADDER
tiser shows that nearly one-half of them
have stopped work for the present; and
the Adcertiser estimates that one thou
sand sets of cards are practically idle,
thus reducing the daily consumption of
wool by about $50, 900 pounds. The ex-
PLANTATION of the suspension is that
certain class of wooden mills have been
losing money. The Advertiser says ''the
wool manufacturers are suffering from
over-production, unremunerative rates
and hardships to which the clothiers
subject them
Speaking of this, the St, Louis Repub-
lican says: 1t is an extraordinary spectacle
here presented. We have been trying for
ICdll1 b"Cbly -hNC NOdlos O5 hASoho III
high protective tariffs to build up wooden
manufactures on our own soil to supply
our own wants-and we have succeeded
too well We have built up more than
we need-more than we know what to
do with The mills make more goods
than the country can consume-and
there is no legislation that will meet the
trouble Congress has done everything
for the wooden manufacturers they asked
and yet they are embarrassed. 1t has
protected them sgaintt foreign comp Ell
ton; yet they are doing business at loss.
Congress has done everything to foster
the wool manufacture-and here are one
half the mills stopping business because
there is no demand for their goods.
There is but one thing more to be done
to complete this precious legislation
pass law compelling every inhabitant
of the country to buy three times many
wooden garments as he needs.

of the deleterious firewater the other

Commissioner Price was asked if he
would prosecute the men who sold the

enoughAvirtue and intelligence in this

Waxing a Floor.

The ART amateur giyer the. following
directions for waxing floor:
Take pound of the best beeswax, cut
it up into very small pieces and let it thor
oughly dissolve in three pints of turpen-
tine stirring occasionally if necessary.
The mixture should be only trifie thicker
than the clear turpentine. Apply it with
a rag to the surface of the floor, which
should be smooth and perfectly clean
This is the difficult part of the work, for,
if you put on either too much or too little
good polish will be impossible. The
right amount varies, less being required
for hard, close grained wood, and more
if the wood is soft or opengrained. Even
professional 'waxers" are sometimes
obliged to experiment, and novices
should always try square foot or two
first. Put on what you think will be
enough and leave the place untouched
and unstepped or for twenty-four hours,
or longer if needful. When it is thor
oughly dry rub it with hard brush until
it shines. If it polishes well repeat the
process over the entire floor. Tit does
not, remove the wax with fine sandpaper
and try again, using more or less than
before as may be necessary. and continue
your experimenting until you secure the
desired result. If the mixture is slow. in
drying add little of any common "driers'
sold by paint dealers. japan for instance
in the proportion of one part of the drier
to six parts of turpentine. When the
floor is large one you may agreeably
vary the tedious work of polishing by
strapping brush to each foot and
skating over it,
