Blaine and the Irish.

Through his entire public life, Blaine has
proven himself true friend and a sturdy
champion of the oppressed sons of Erin.
In the year 1867 it will be remembered
that one Augustus Costello was arrested in
Ireland for an alleged reasonable speech
delivered in New York two years previously,
and sentenced to fifteen years penal servi-
tude. At the time of his arrest Costello, as
did Gen. ID. F. Burke, who was then in pris-
on, held papers of American Citizenship, but
these were disregarded as protection against
British laws. Through the advocacy of
Blaine, who was then an acknowledged lead
err in Congress, demand was made for the
release of Costello and Burke from British
custody, but refused on the strength of
the then existing treaty between the govern
ments. The reprisal of English subjects in
this country was then advocated by Blaine
and threatened by the government. Feeling
the business of such an act and fearing its
enforcement, the British Cabinet granted the
request of this government. This is but one
instance where Mr.. Blaine has proven him
self friend to the Irish, and should the
presidential robes fall upon him, all true
patriotic Irishmen may be sure that the ex-
ecutive chair is occupied by one who has
been, is, and will be, their friend.

Mr.. Turner insisted that the peoples
money had nearly all disappeared under Re-
publican rule. Other speakers complained
because we had saved too much money.
BY the way, if we remember correctly, there
was not great abundance of money in the
treasury when the Republican party assumed
control of the nation in 1861. II had been
pretty effectively dissipated and the credit of
the country had followed it. But perhaps we
ought not to allude to these things. "Let
by-gones be by cones"

If their professions are sincere, the De-
mocracy have shown signs of repentance for
past misdeeds. Their platform announces
that they "believe in free ballot and fair
count" Thank God for that. Let them
repent in sack cloth and ashes for past politi-
cal outrages in the South, and bring forth
fruit meet for repentance by allowing free
ballot and fair count in the southern states,
which will be something that has not occur
red there, under Democratic rule, since the
close of the war.

Those democratic sheets that have been
wasting so much space in reference to Mr..
Blaine's not having been soldier, can now
devote their time to Mr.. Clevelands war
record. The following is an extract from
his biography as published in the Ne,o Yorb
World. After reciting the fact that in 1868
Mr.. Cleveland was appointed as assistant
district attorney for Erie county, his biog-
rapher continues:
at was during the performance of the
duties of this Office, and at a time when a
large number of important cases with which
he alone was thoroughly familiar were de-
handing his attention, that he was drafted.
There was no question at all of what his
duty was. He promptly supplied suJsti-
tUte."
His duties as assistant district attorney, or
as we would term it in Michigan, assistant
prosecuting attorney, must have been i'm
mensely important to the people. So much
so, indeed, it appears, that he could not serve
his country, even when she called for him
directly. Lawyers must have been scarce
in Erie county. if the public prosecutor
could not find some one to aid him in his
work. even if Grover Cleveland had entered
the army. Perhaps, upon pinch, the pub
lie prosecutor could have attended to his
own duties, without the aid of an assistant
At that time Mr.. Cleveland was young
man, had no family ties to keep him at
home, and was not filling any position that
was of the slightest importance to the
Union cause. His case was entirely different
from that of Mr.. Blaine who was serving his
country in congress, while Cleveland was
filling an insignificant position, the reten-
ton of which was of no consequence
to anybody but himself. 1t is more than
probable that, being democrat, he did not
approve of the sd niger war;" and pre-
ferred not to lend his aid in crushing out
the rebellion. When a republican hears
anything said about substitute Blaine" he
can retort with "that drafted man Cleveland .

term which they derisively applied to the
Republicans, and all because Beecher says he
will vote for Cleveland.

Cooking With Oi, Stoves.
Mrs. Lincoln, the Boston lecture

Mrs. Lincoln. the Boston lecturer on
cookery, say: When one tells you that
there Is mo trouble in using an oil
/ stove you may be morally certain that
/ she does not know what she is talking
about. To be sure you are saved
additional heat and dust in the summer
when you have so much of both from
nature herself; but unless you are care
full you will have smoky atmosphere
and disagreeablc odor. You needn't
have either if YOU choose to manage
properly; the mo trouble" people will
have it all the time. The way TO avoid
it is TO keep the burner perfectly clean,
and entirely free from the gummy
burner deposit which even the best oil
will have on the polished brass burner
Everyday the burner should be washed
in hot, clean suds thoroughly dried
and the wick replaced the little brass
network about the base of the burner
should be carefully wiped and kept
free from every particle OF dust. The
wick should be cut squarely and evenly
with sharp scissors, and not even
thread should be left that is higher
than the rest. When the blaze is
extinguished. the wick should be turned
down at least, half an inch below the
edge of the burner. If it is left above,
or even with the top, it will absorb oil,
and the oil will run over the top,
making it greasy and soiled, and emit
an unpleasant odor The best quality
of oil should be used, as, after all, it is
fully as economical; there is less sedi-
ment in it, it will burn to the last drop,
will not smoke so badly and does not
leave should a rank odor. The stove
should be filled after using, and when
it is first lighted the blaze should be
watched, because it increases in in
tensity and very soon begins to smoke.
1t can then be regulated and left for
some time. especially if your baking;
if you have water on boiling, as soon
as the water reaches the boiling point
the flame will increase again and must
be turned down. The reason for this
nobody pretends to explain, but the
fact remains.
