THERE were dozen or more with
drawals from the Golden club during
the year preceding its last annual
meeting, which was held in London
recently. The clubs consoles itself
that the secessionists were very insig-

ions upon political economy did not
amount to much anyway. One feature
in the Golden club has always been
the very high estimate il has always
placed on It's members individually

THE Republicans OF Massachusetts
thought they saw some hope of de
cline in BEN BUTLER when he refused
to respond to the call of the striking
operators, and make them speech.
But BEN is sly and canning. He
knew Just the kind of speech the strik-
ers expected him to make. He knew,
too, that the strike would fail, and
that the words, If spoken, would come
back to him, so he wisely refrained
from addressing them at all. It's n
frlgid day when BEN BUTLER takes

SOME statistician with an abundance
OF leisure has been delving among. the
records of the executive Office ut
Washington for the purpose of ascer
tanning the extent Of the absenteeisnl
of the different presidents and finds
that JEFFERSON was the champion
absentee. He scored 796 days in eight
years The elder ADAMS came next,
3S5 days in four years. Next came
MONROE, EOS days in eight years, fol-
lowed by MADISON, 637 days in eight
years; JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 222 in
four years; WASHINGTON, Isl in eight
years. The presidents who virtually
took no vacations were JACKSON, 81
days; PIERCE and BUCHANAN. 81 days
each. No mention Is made OF LINCOLN,
GRANT or HAYES. LINCOLN was too
busy during the four years that he held
the reins of government to take Holt
day, but why the record of GRANT
ana HAYES was not made should he
explained. They were the champion
absentees. None of them took to the
woods as ARTHUR has done, but he
came from the city, while the others
were residents of country villages, aud
the sights of New York and Long
Branch had charms for them that they
do not possess for ARTHUR. If pres
ident has right to leave the public
business at all, he has right to go
where his inclinations take him.

Ihe action OF the Texas state grange
at lis recent meeting IN resolving itself
into semi-politica organization, was
all that was needed TO complete its en-
tire demolition. 1t has been gradu-
ally dying since the second or third
year of its organization mainly for rea-
son Of the strong suspicion that found
Judgement in the public mind that its
aims and objects were more of. polit-
zeal than an agricultural nature, and
now that it has seriously resolved to
enter the political arena, the last of it
may be expected ut an early day. The
organization of the agricultural classes
has often been urged by writers of
class publications and by the general
press. and the good results which
would arise from Il con-
centration of effort and unity
If action have been presented in n
thousand different ways. There APP
pear no good reason why good should
not follow organizations among farm
ers as wei! as among merchants, doc
tors, lawyers or any other trade or pro-
fession. But it seems impossible for
farmers to come together for consulta-
ton and comparison of views that
their deliberations do not sooner or
later DRIFT into politics. They seem
inclined to look into craftsmanship or
to political leaders for the good that
must come, if it comes ut all, from
their own efforts. The cooperative
stores, honestly conducted would be
beneficial, and IL the members of {
grange would combine in the purchase
of supplies, their plows, fence wire
reapers and other agricultural nipple
ments, they would certainly find it t'
their advantage in reduced
prices and superior accom-
modations. This is the direction
that their deliberations should take
and the one from which good woul'
come. The Merchants Exchange

A Bloodthirsty Congressman.

CHICAGO, March 16.-Hon. John F. Fin
erty, congressman-elect from the Third Hi
nois district, when interviewed in regard to
the attempt to blow up the government
buildings in London, said: II may say l am
sorry it was not more successful. / applaud
the Irish in everything they do to get rid of
England and her accursed rule. England
brought this on herself, and Gladstone more
than anyone else has himself to thank for it.
Forster's Midlothian speech was quoted
against him by the Tories. Did he not say
the agitation would be useless till Clerken-
we'll Prison was blown up? OF course, I re-
greet that any innocent persons should suffer;
but my sympathy for the few of this class is
entirely overridden by the feeling of COM
miseration l have for the great mass of the
Irish people, my countrymen, who are poor
and starving, and the British government
will not aid them. They have reached a
point where they must fight, and l an glad
to see them do it. l am glad to see the in
anguration of war, or violence of any kind
that tends to free Ireland of the accused cut
Threats who are choking the life cat of her.
If a race war springs out of this it will not be
regretted by true 1rishmen."

had lost her head, was but another cause of
hatred to the faithful Catholics. He was
hated by the follower of his mothers faith
with a hatred that knew no limit. To all this
he "dded the further proyocation of lending
his name to the penal acts against the Catho-
lies in 1904. While these acts were, doubt
less. in the main directed against the Irish,
they also affected many noble families in
England. Among these are Robert Catesby,
a descendant of the Catesby who, two genera
tons earlier, had ~despoiled the religious
houses of England for hire, conceived a plot
to blow up the houses of Parliament while
King, lords and commons were therein as
sembled. Guy Fawkes, at the time, was a
soldier of fortune in Flanders, but coming
to England, he was intrusted with this dan
gerous enterprise. Some thirty or forty bar
rels of gunpowder, with faggots for burning,
Were conveyed into the cellars below
the houses of Parliament, and prepar-
atoms made to touch the whole lot
of into eternity. One or two
hitches occurred in the programme. TIL ex-
plosion had been designed for February. 1904;
but, through parliamentary adjournments
and affairs of the like nature delays took
place till, finally, Nov. 5, 1905, was fixed
upon for the catastrophe. In the meantime
one OF the conspirators, having a friendship
for Lord Monteagle, a Catholic nobleman,
warned him to absent himself from Parlia-
ment on that particular day. The warning
was carried to King James and a search in
stituted. Fawkes was discovered among his
explosive barrels and he was hanged, to-
gether with seven of his confederates. Since
that time no danger has directly assaulted the
Parliament of England, though the houses
in which it assemblies were burnt down
about fifty years ago, the palaces built by Sir
Charles Barry taking their place. Destruc-
ton of these, by explosion, would surely
mean the destruction of Westminster Alb
hey and all its irreplaceable treasures.

A NEW IRON COMBINATION.
Combination of All Southern Furnaces for
Mutual Protection.

81. LOUIS. March 16.-The Age of Steel to-
morrow, will publish the following, which
1t sta.es refers to q matter entirely new to
the iron trade of the North.
During the past two weeks a combination
has been formed in the South, composed of
all the coke and iron furnaces in the States
of Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia, with
the exception of Oakdale, Tenn, furnace, to
be known as the Southern Coke Association,
The object of the association is to obtain and
main tain a uniform scale of prices and pre-
vent indiscriminate competition and trickery
of all kinds. A uniform scale
of prices has been agreed upon, and
agents are required to strictly abide
thereby, allowing concessions to no one, no
matter how large his order for iron may be.
1t places all brands of iron on the same plat
form, so that furnaces making an iron of low
standard will get the same price as for the
high standard-tha is, it they sell any. The
advantages will be seen to be on the side of
the maker of the better brands, while the
other mar will have to work hard to make
sales at all. The scale agreed upon is not
above the prices which have been ruling
lately, except on a few grades, and they are
all on the basis of a fixed price at the furnace,
adding transportation.

PANIC IN A THEATER.
A Scene of Terror and Confusion Caused
by a Breaking Column.

New York, March, 16.-At the C~osmopoli-
tan Theater, tonight, toward the close of a
minstrel performance, a significant cracking
sound was heard, and suddenly one of the five
inch iron columns of the first balcony
crashed through the floor, throwing the 900
people crowding it and the immense au-
dience below into a panic. Women
screamed and men in terror turned
to the doors. A fearful crush followed,
all struggling for the exits. Several women
were crushed before the managers could be
heard, and some degree OF quietness
obtained. 1t was found that the balcony
had settled full twelve inches, the weakest
column sinking through the floor on which
it rested. Many people had left the place
but returned, and the performance pro-
ceeded. Suddenly, however, the occupants
of the upper balcony began to hiss. This
drove the now thoroughly frightened people
below into another panic. Fortunately Police
Commissioner Mason and French, and Cap
tain Killalea, were present, and succeeded in
calming the people, and the performance
came to an end. Many ladies lost clothing
and pocketbooks.

Press Opinion.

LONDON, March 16.-The Times this morn
ing says: "In Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool,
and London the feeling of the English work
ingmen toward the Irish people, once SYM
pathetic, has become cold. 1t only depends
on a few more cases of dynamite outrages to
turn this feeling into angry hostilities, which
the authorities will find very hard to con-
troll"
The Times adds: "If the Irish extremists
are really going to reply with dynamite to
any measure they ~disapprove OF, it is certain
the day of remedial legislation is over"
The Berlin press is utterly dismayed at
the Westminster explosion, and advises en-
ergetic measures.

The aggregate appropriations amount to

404, 22l.54 The balance available July 1.
1882, was 50, 268, 221.3 81. OF the 227 buildings
included in the statement, New York has
had 20, Maine II, Massachusetts IS, Pennsyl-

each and Indiana 8. As the most prominent
and expensive, we notice IL that have cost
in the aggregate $4,000, 705.67, or SO per
cent. of the whole amount.
The following is a list Of the buildings that
have cost 81, 10000 o q, more; Custom-house
and postoffice, Chicago, ILL.,, S., SIG, 735. rs;
custom-house and postoffice, St. Louis, Mo-,

custom-house, 81, 900, 600; courthouse and
postotice, New York, 1871, 600. 81, court
house and postoffice, Philadelphia, Pa, So
1874, 194.31, and the postoffice and sub-treas-
ury, Boston, Mass, s.. 271, 934. 90.
1t appears from this statement that the
first building appropriated for was the Gus
tom-house at New Orleans, under an act ape
proved February 10, 1907, authorizing the
Secretary of the Treasury to cause to be built
upo some convenient site, belonging to the
United States, in the city of New Orleans, a
good and sufficient house, to serve as an of
flee and place of deposit for the collector of
the customs at that place, and appropriating
therefor $4,000. The contrast between the
cost of the old building and the new one is
suggestive. The following table shows the
aggregate amount expended in each State and
Territory:
