FINERTY'S FULFiINATI0N.
How He Thinks the Recent Papal Circular
to the Clergy Should Be Resented by
Irishmen Everywhere.

The Citizen, Of Chicago, published by John
F. Finerty, member of Congress, recently
printed an editorial headed Boycott the
Pope" It says: "Of all the productions Of
papal interference in the affairs of Ireland
that have marked tbs policy of the Vatican
from the days of Adrian ". to ohm XXI and
from the reign of that pontiff to the present
time, the last cirCu ar addressed by Leo Kill
to the Irish bishops and clergy with regard
to the ParneI fund is the most intolerab.y
impertinent II the Irish people submit
cravenly to this latest Italian laso the whip
being furnished by the Pope's worthy ally,
Victoria, they viii forfeit the respect of the
world at large" The article says: %Let The
Irish people hold public meetings in every
diocese and pass resolutions sterniy de-
nouncin@ any more of his Holiness unhOly
Intervention in Irish politics, and tell him
once and for all time, FIRMLY and respectful
", to mind his own business as the head Of

tribute a single cent Of Peters pence while
Leo occupies the papal chair or at least IN
til he quits his palpab,e and scandalous po-

the monetary supplies OF Leo and teach him
without being misunderstood that the Irish
race cannot be buIld0Zed into slavery By the
bayonets of England or by the thunderS OF

gy have backbone enough to resent this Ro-
man outrage on their patriotism Ireland
will stand by them against Pope Leo and

INDIAN EDUCATION.
Secretary Teller Greatly Pleased with
the Progress Of the Youth at
Carlisle.

Secretary Teller, who has lately returned
from a visit TO the Indian training school at
Carlisle, Pa, says the money which will
have to be spent in the present Apache war
If expended for the education of Indian
children, would put an end to any further
runaors OF Indian wars He says that it is
no longer an open question that these
schools solve the problem whether the
Indian is capable OF civilization. He
adds: IF one-half of the Indian chill
dren were placed at such schools
the question would be settled az
once and forever. The appropriation is
sInall-greater however, tn s year than last,
and greater last year than the previous one

B0B'S PERORATI0A.
Col. TlsgersoIE's Closing Appeat to
the Star ROatte Jss9y.

Col Robert G. Ingerson consumed six
days in addressing the jury for the defense
for the star-route conspiracy case Tho
speech is described as a very ingenious one.
Astounding in strong points IN behalf of his
clients The conclusion, which had visi-
bic effect upon court, jury and spectators,
moving many to tears, is as follows:
Now, gentlemen, the responsibility is
with you. The fate OF these men is in your
hands In your keeping is everything they
love Everything they hold dear is in YOUR
power. With this fearful responsibility, YOU
nave no right TO listen to the whispers of
suspicion You have no right TO hearken TO
the promptingS of fear. Beware of preiu~
dice. LOOK to the testimony alone. Be nos
convinced by the last argument; listen nos
TO epithetS instead of facts Recall
every argument made in this case, Put the
evidence In the scale, and then have tina
honor ami manhood to say which scale
goes down. We ask from YOU the
mercy OF an honest verdict; that is all
we asS-a verdict of your honesty. II is for
you TO say whether these defendants SHAH
live with honor among your te!low-citizeps
whether they shall live in free air. or ba
taken from their wives, from their children.
from their fireside from all they hold moss
dear. 1t is for you to say whether they
shall be clothed with honor or with shame.
whether their day shall set without a single
star in all the sky of an eternal night.
whether they shall be branded as criminals
After all they have suffered, after they hava
been pursued by Government as no de end
ants before have been pursued, 1t is
for YOU TO say whether their homes shall ba
blasted by the lightning of n false verdict
You must Say whether their future shall bs
one agony of grief and tears. Moth ne be-
meath the stars of heaven is so profoundly
sad as the wreck of human being-nothing
so profoundly mOurnful as home covered
with shame. Nothing is so infinitely sad as
thing that shall cast stain upon children
yet unborn. Il is tor YOU to say whether
this shall be such verdict or one in accord
ance with the law and the facts The pros
eCution is heated With the chase; they are
excited by the hunt; but Will say that, in
the end, they viii be 8 thousand times
better pleased with 4 verdict OF not guilty
than with what they ask They would en-
Joy their victory; they would like success.

STEAMER HORROR.
The Pilot Expiodes on the Cali
fornia Coast---Elgl1Teen
Lives Lost.
Some Of the Victims Blown Inland, and
Landed Lifeless Oh Terra
Fiyna.

A shocking disaster is reported By tele-
graph From San Francisco. The stern-wheel
passenger steamer Pilot, plying along the
bay, was blown to pieces by the explosion
of one of her boilers, and fifteen of the pas
sengers and crew lost their lives The par
ticulars of the sad affair are embraced In the
following dispatches from San Francisco: Of
fcers Of the steamer Donahue reported that
in passing Donahue Landing they noticed the
Pilot coming down the creek in midchannel,
and few minutes afterWard saw no sign Of
the incoming steamer. A message was sent
to Petaluma directing that a relief train with
physicians and nurs Is for the wounded be
Immediately dispatched o IakeVille When
the relief train arrived the surgeons on
board found little to do, as Of all those
known and believed to be On board none but
the Captain and two others Zone the pilot
could be- found They were discovered
in the fields, seriously injured, the
Captain the least of the three. Search was
was made in every direction in the sand
dams near the bank, and, one after another,
four men were found ali more or less
seriously injured; some with an arm or leg
broken in the fall One was but slightly in
jured, having fallen in long grasses Out of
t1ese he managed to scramble en- higher and
drier ground Had he been more seriously
iniurel he would have been drowned by the
ll90 Tue. Last reports buO" Lllt1C tlSu III are
killed, seven wounded and ten missing.
Most OF tie latter are probably dead, but
the bodies have not yet been found The
names Of the passengers cannot he definitely
ascertained, IS no names are recorded at the
poin,s of departure.
Il is thought many Of the passengers who
escaped 6calding and mangiing were
drowned, as the boat sank Immediately after
the explosion.
The explosion is attributable TO defective
boilers. Those persons VINO witne sed the
xp!osion from the steamer Donahue, say
that it was almost funny to see the way the
smoke-stack went up 1t seemed as they
say. TO leave the vessel in advance, and shot
up in the air over 80 yards, coming down
again within few feet of the vessel

STRANGE INCIDENT.
The most extraordinary incident in con-
nection with the disaster was the finding of
Mrs. George z. McNear, a passenger, about
mile and d half from the scene OF the ex-
pIosion. She was standing in the mud and
was still alive, but unconscious. It is pre-
sumed she struggled through the mud and
weeds for that distance in search Of relief
She was Immediately removed to Lake vile,

The h9ijers National Association has given
publicity to the wheat-crop estimate, which
promises for the whole wheat-belt of tho
United States only SO, 500, eco bushels for
1888, indicating a prospective shortage from
the 1882 crop of nearly 90, coo, OCO bushels in
twenty-one States, which represent nearly
all the wheat-producing areas The report
is considered quite remarkable IN the light
of the fact that the milers are generally

S. II. Seamens, Secretary OF the Mjlierss
National Association, writes IN this report.
Il have only to say that 1t is based entirely
upon replies to my inquiries, which have
been carefully tabulated, thoroughly
analysed and the averages closely figured
In short, the conclusions are arrived at by
the most careful investigation of the re-
