SYMPATHY FOR IRELAND.

No one, loving freedom, can con-
slider the woes of Ireland, the degra-
dation of her people, without in
dulging in the hope that the period
of their thraldom is approaching its
end. Under penal laws making the
practice of their religion crime and
their priests criminals, making the
obtaining of knowledge a felony and
putting a price upon the heads of
teachers, unfeelins masters of the
Irish people have endeavored in vain
to Danish the last spark of
liberty from their breasts. Despair
ing of bettering their condition
by lawful means, and goaded
to desperation by the cruelty of
rulers. time and again have they been
driven to arms, only to be overpow-
cred by numbers, and, yet, with all
their sufferings, prosecutions, and de-
feats the longing for liberty is as
strong as ever in the Irish heart. AS
an earnest cotemporary puts it, hope
less of achieving their independence
by warlike means, the Irish leaders
have directed their efforts towards
improving the lot of their un-
fortunate countrymen by peace
ful agitation, and it is source
of qualification to see that they have
been partially successful. They have
relied for the success of their move
rnent upon creating among the work
ing classes of Great Britain public
sentiment favorable to their cause;
and meagre as were the fruits of the
early labors of Mr. Parnell and his
little band of co-workers, they were
nevertheless long stride in advance
of the legislation of late years and
were full of hope for the future.
Just as there was such hope growing
in the minds of all lovers of
Irish liberty calamity befel
the cause. The Phoenix Park
horror shocked the civilized world.
and now come these reports
of dynamite, and, the proposed de-
struction of friends and foes alike.
Innocent blood will rise up and call
for retribution, and the cause of Irish
liberty may die even at its most hope
full period. A great body of Irish
men assemble in a few days in Phila-
delphia, and it is hoped all
connection with atrocities will
be disowned, and their per-
petration be ref,ited. This con-
vention should cail upon the real
friends of Ireland to cease sending
contributions to funds the objects of
which are kept entirely secret. BY
frowning down lawlessness, by
doing all that is proposed to be
done open and above board
the Irish people viii retain sympa-
thy, which otherwise must be lost to
them. A few more reckless acts, and
friends win refuse to longer sanction
any purpose that leads TO lawlessness

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The long tongue of Malacca ex-
tending into the Indian seas at last
proved too tempting to the canal dig.
gers. Leon Don'S project is to cut
through the peninsula to the gulf of
Siam at an estimated cost of $20,OOO,-
600. The proposed canal would be a
little shorter than the SUez, but longer
than the Panama. The chief COM
mercial gain would be in lessening
the journey between Calcutta and
Hong Kong, other intervening points,
of course, sharing this benefit.
1t is claimed that the town of
Salem, New Hampshire, coined the
word "dude" twenty years ago. 1t is
common there to speak of a dapper
young man as "dude of a fellow" of
a small animal as ga little dude," of a
sweetheart as my dude" and of an
aesthetic youth of the Wilde type as a
''dude." But how the word attained
so sudden and widespread a notoriety
puzzles Salem. Itf revival at New
York is credited to a disgusted
Englishman, who remarked, after
visiting a rich club, that the young
men were all dudes" The feminine
of the dude has recently been created,
and ''dudelette" is applied to young
ladies with bow-wow pets, who have
visiting cards printed for the brutes
to leave on making calls.
Dynamite is still the word of the
hour across the ocean. Manchester
fears the blowing up of its town hall;
at Glasgow, one Gallagher is charged
with the gas works explosion in
Ireland the terror of dynamite is all
pervading. The very strong escort
that took the four Lambeth prisoners
from Clerk enwen jail to Lambeth
prison indicates suspicious in London
as to the unknown numerical strength
and rescue power of the disciples of
dynamite even in the British capital.
While the English press and pulpit
are preaching on dynamite and in
parliament Sir w. Harcourt and Sir
r. A. Cross have joined forces to con-
coct bill restricting the use of ex-
ploSives, the terror has spread across
the channel to France, where cart
ridge has just been placed to blow up
the Chateau Plebsis. As for Russia,
Germany and other European coun-
tries, they have long been fully alive
to the coming of the day of dynamite.

What We Eat.
(Colman's Rural World

1t is truly astonishing, with what
carelessness, the average American
allows himself to be fed; and how
little interest he takes, in what
intimately concerns his health and
strength.
In conversation, short time since,
with Prof. Juan n. Wright, M. D., an
analytical chemist of this city, he
tells us that during the past year, he
has been spending much time in
searching for authorizations in the food
supplied in this market.
The doctor is partially working for
his own information, and is also en-
ployed by the grocery house of Ira
Boutel & Co., and the butter house of
VIM. n. Tiyy, to guard against adul-
terations in goods which they handle.
The following is conednsed state
ment of the Information received
from DIR. Wright in regard to food
adulterations; and we certainly con-
gratulate our country friends, who
prepare themselves the most of the
food which they use.

THE. Massachusetts clergymen, be-
ing nearly all of a kind, have organ
lied to preach Gov. Butler down.
Last Sunday the Boston preachers
leveled at him their heaviest artillery
of which the following is specimen:
He has brought into existence a
personal government of most deteS-
table nature; as unjust and as unwise
in his appointments as in his re-
movals; seeking for abuses with un-
snuffed candles that stink in his
hands; standing in the way of honest
enterprises. He promised to make no
outside speeches until he had regen-
Grated the state, but what opportuni-
ty on the stump or at a dinner does
he miss-in Massachusetts,, New York
or Rhode Island? He promised to
devote his whole time to the state,
but he goes to Washington very
readily, and when, at least the figure
head of the law, he remains a crimi-
nal lawyer, and does his best for his
client to evade or annul the law in
the vile matter of the liquor traffic.
No one objects to reform when it is
a reality, but our corrector and sur
geon general is the very G enius of in
accuracy. No better statistician
than he is a statesman, it is aStonish-
ing the misstatements he makes,
which he never corrects when ex-
posed. He covers one falsehood about
illiteracy or education with another,
and copies other peoples blunders
about Roman emperors. He is to be
laughed at as much as denounced,
for what a set OF capers and antics
fantastic tricks before high heaven
does he go through-this athlete of
the state house and gubernatorial ac-
robat.'
This gospel" preaching reminds
one of the history OF New England
pulpit fanaticism from 1856 to 1860.
1t is the gospel of hate, the gospel of
falsehood, and belongs to the locality
from which such fanaticism emanates
as naturally as fish belong to the

The Value of AIligators.
TContinent.l

Six thousand baby alligators are
sold in Florida every year, and the
amount of ivory, number of skins
and quantity of oil obtained from the
older members of the saurian family
are sufficient to entitle them to a high
place among the products of the state.
The hunters sell young gators" at
$25 per hundred, and the dealer from
70 cents to 81 each. Live alligators
two years old represent to the captor
so cents each, and to the dealer from
50 to So, as the season of travel is at
its height or far advanced. A ten
foot alligator is worth $40, and one
fourteen feet long $25 to the hunter,
while the dealer charges twice or
three times that price. The eggs are
worth to the hunter 30 cents per doz-
en-, and to the dealer 35 cents each.

CONGRESSMAN REAGAN saws:

When the next house meets l pro-
pose to serve a notice on my party
that no man can be elected speaker
who will not pledge himself not to
make up the committees so as to
block the kind of legislation that !
am seeking. My interstate commerce
bill has been defeated in the house
thus far by the hostility of the COM
mittees. | have never been able to
get it fairly before the house in the
shape L want it. The committees
will not be made up against me again,
however. if 1 can help it. L propose
to open up this question in the eau
Gus that is called to select candidate
for speaker, and l mean to present it.
The STATESMAN has often declared
itself upon this issue. 1t holds that
Mr.. Reagan's measure is undemocrat-
ic, and therefore it can be made to
cut no figure among Democrats in
the next house organization.

WASHINGTON.
STAR ROUTE TRIALS.

WASHINGTON, April 18.-In the
star route trials this morning Bliss
called John r. Walsh and asked if he
had ever had any money transactions
with Brady.
Wilson objected and the court call
ed for the statement.
In response Bliss called attention
to Brady's denial upon this point and
offered to contradict him.
Bliss briefly related the alleged
facts set out in the published affidavit
of Price that in the summer of 1880,
after the passage of the star route de-
ficiency appropriation bill, Price had
been approached by one A. Brown
and requested to subscribe $1,000
to the fund raised by star route
contractors to defray the expenses at
bill; that Price had a large quantity
scribed money upon the promise that
he should be given part of the SER
vice in return, and that money and
drafts so subscribed by Price had
been placed upon Brady's desk. He
would prove that Brady had passed to
Walsh the drafts given to him by
Price, who would be here to-day.
He also offered to prove that Brady
had requested witness to deposit a
certain sum of money to his credit,
and that Walsh accordingly placed
$4,000 with Hatch & Foote of New
York. to Brady's credit.
Wilson argued that that subject
was purely collateral in character,
and evidence in that condition was
not proper in rebuttal. He called at
tention to the pending civil suit of
Walsh against Brady, and asserted
that that issue could not be tried in
this court, because it in no wise af-
fected the case.
Merrick contended that, as Brady
has denied the whole conversation
sworn to by Walsh, the prosecution
had right to corrobOrate its witness
by proof of what had been described
as the collateral portion of it.
The court did not perceive how
proof would establish the truth of
Walsh's statement of that conyer-
sation.
Merrick contended that proof would
be sufficient to get at the issue. He
quoted Walsh's testimony wherein he
says that Brady referred him to Price
and Peterson's drafts in proof of his
assertion, and that it was the custom
of the second assistant postmaster
general to exact from contractors a
portion of the allowance for increase
and expedition. In denying the whole
conversation Brady had denied that
statement, and surely it was but
proper that they be allowed to correct
him.
The court said that the object
of rebutting evidence was to meet
the case of the defense. An
offer would tend to contradict
Brady upon collateral matter outside
of the case. If Brady had testified
untruly, he could not be contradicted; /;
so as to Price and Peterson's drafts.
They were not connected with mat
ters set out in the indictment. They
were collateral and the prosecution

A CALCULATION has been made on
the basis Of the representation in
parliament to show that Parnell does
not represent the majority of the peo-
pie of Ireland. But 81 per cent of the

electors and 81 per cent of the total
constituency. These figures are of

THE records of the courts in France
do not bear out the theory that as ed
ucation is diffused crime decreases.
The proportion of criminals is greater
among the educated than among the
illiterate people of France. Educated
criminals are more hardened and
more apt to relapse into crime than
those who cannot read and write, and
the grade of crime also rises with the
intelligence of the criminal.

Intelligence Of the criminal.

In China the regulations attending
the issue of passports to foreigners
for travel in the interior are being
made more stringent than ever. For
all these restrictions on the free
movements of foreigners in that
country the Chinese excuse is the
right of extra territorial jurisdiction
which the western powers claim as
against China, but would never con
cede to her in their own territories
1t is certainly poor rule that will
not work both WAYS.

Why Should We Breed HoIsteins2 ?

Holland, the home of this breed of
cattle, has for many hundreds of
years been noted as occupying the
first place in the dairy products of
the world. And it's cattle have been
acknowledged as the most perfect for
the production of milk, butter, cheese
and beef combined. The climate of
Holland is rough and changeable, the
range of temperature far exceeding
ours or the western prairies- suflici-
ent explanation for the hardness
which we have found in this noble
breed. Our western farmers
and dairymen are fast learn
ing Of the very great advan-
tages they offer over all other breeds.
They are noted for hardness, gentle
nature. early maturity, endurance,
quantity with quality of milk, that
produces the best butter and cheese.
ing qualities, exceeding that OF any
size of these cattle, coupled with good
feeding qualities, assures the owner
of fair compensation for his grades
and old cows when turned for beef.
Their strong constitutions make them
sure breeders, with the consolation
that you won't have to hire Il wet
nurse for each calf. Motley, in
his 'History of the United Neither
lands, speaking Of HolStein and the
thrifty condition in which by their
use he found the farmers of Holland,
says: "On their pastures graZed the
most famous cattle man ever knew.
An OK often weighed more than 1000
pounds. Butter and cheese were ex-
ported to the annual value of g1, ,00O,-
600. The farmers were industrious,
thriving and independent" Our
heifers at one year often weigh 700 to
800 pounds; at two years old, 1000 to
1900 pounds, and cows at maturity,
1900 to 1900 pounds Their milk
records are the highest, ranging from
1000 to $500 quarts per year by heifers
with their first calves, and 5000 to
5000 quarts per year for mature, COWS.
During the milking season it is
hard to keep HoIstein cattle in high
flesh; but when dry they take on flesh
rapidly, and the fat is nicely distrib-
uted among the lean. They have
been thoroughly tested from Maine
to California, and as far south as
Georgia, and everywhere have proven
successful. No other breed has ever
made such rapid progress in ia
vor of practical farmers as the Hol-
stein. | think in the next fifteen
years they will outnumber any other
