By a Law and Order Rule.

Some annymous but good friend of
the STATESMAN writes to the paper
complaining bitterly that it is bat
thing against the denomination of
Governor Ireland. He complains no
less of the subject matter than of the
length of "the Ireland articles" This
is his privilege, as it is ours to en-
deavor to point out what we deem
| good and sufficient reasons why we
fight against John Ireland, as a per-
manancy. This is free country, and
we cannot force any one to read arti-
cles we may publish which are not
in accord with his views. Our friend
ly, but unknown correspondent, has
our permission to skip the Ireland
articles" This gentleman in the same
communication takes occasion to
warmly commend articles written be-
fore the heat of the campaign came Oh,
on the subject of law and order"
These met his views very fully, and
by his own standard we propose to try
him and the governor this morning.
To our way of thinking the subject
OF law and order, its maintenance and
proper administration is of vastly
more Importance than reelection:
vastly more important than any other
personal ambition or purpose which
may be held by his excellency or any
other man. More than any other in
dividual indeed. is he interested in the
laws in UNFOLDING respect Tor the tribu-
nails and officers CT the law, in execut-
ing its DEGREES and all the mandates of
the courts, and in enforcing respect
for, and obedience to its slightest
behests. He has sworn a solemn oath
IN addition to the obligation into
which he was born, and grew from the
earliest moment of life-to uphold the
law, to obey it himself and to enforce
obedience on the part of others. But

stances, in the presence of these obIi-
cations, their weight aud gravity.

THE POPE AND THE IRISH
An interesting Interview Between His
Holiness and Bishsp O'Farren.

An Interesting Interview Between His
Holiness and Bishsp O'Farren.
From the Philadelphia Times.
An important letter touching on the
popeS attitude with reference to the
Irish question has just been received
by Rev. Thaddeus Hogan, pastor of
st. Johns church, this CITY. from
Right Rev. Bishop OFarrell. of the
diocese Of Trenton, who is now in Eu-
rope. The English journals, from
time to time, report that the HOLY
Father has condemned the struggle of
| Irishmen for the freedom of their
country and this has inyaribly had
the effect of dampening ardo among
Irish enthusiasts, for the reason that
most IIishmen, as Catholics, have been
unwilling to spurn the authority OF
the Holy Ste. The pope's own Ian
guage on the subject, as given literally
by Bishop O'Farrell, himself patriot
1rishman, will therefore be received
with interest by every QUE who has
made a study Of the Irish cause.
The Bishop says, referring to his in
tervlew with Pope 81 spoke of the
Irish Catholics, both in Ireland and in
America, saying that he had no more
loyal or devoted sons any where than
among them and their descendants
and that whatever had been told him
F to the contrary was not true. j said
that [ could speak of Irish Ameri-
; leans with full knowledge and of Irish
men at home from conversation with
many priests in my recent visit. The
Holy Father then speaking of secret
5 societies and their effect on the Irish
cause, the conversation proceeded a.
follows:
Bishop O'Farrell, "Holy Father, a.
e long as the Irish people believe tha
any advice or command comes iron
your holiness, they will never hesitate
g to submit"
The pope, How could they suppos,
that the English government coul(
induce me to act against the interest
of Ireland? No power could per
suade me to it. The Irish people hav,
IT their rights and they are allowed
er strictly to maintain them and CLAIM
them back"
Bishop O'Farrell replied that Ire
III land had such powerful enemies an
II had suffered so much it was only ma
n ural that the Irish should dread tt
slightest attempt to mislead the pol
on their position and their claims
" that he might conden n them. TO tn
~ the pope answered W tn warm profe
sions of love for ITei nd.

CLEvELAND's CANDIDACY,
The Effect of the Disaffection In New
York on the Prospects of Ills
Nomination.

York on the Prospects OF Ills
Nomination.
From the New York w rid.
A prominent New York member
said tonight that he did not believe
any of the stories about the detection
in the New York delegation from
Cleveland. 81 believe" said he, "that
he will have forty-siX votes, and that
be will be very strongly presented to
| the Chicago convention. lie said that
he TAD no doubt that Cleveland could
carry New York and that no matter
how vigorously John Kelly was oppos-
ing him he would Loyalty support him.
There are widely differing opin-
ions among the New York men,
bers upon this very subject. Two or
three of the New York city members
believe the Cleveland boom has weak
ened every day since the Saratoga
convention, and that it will be mat
ter Of surprise if he has more than
bare majority when the delegation
reaches Chicago.
A delegate to the Chicago conYen-
tio4. from the west, who has been
member of the national conventions
for the democracy for the last twenty
years said tonight, with good deal
of emphasis: 1.-THE democracy of the
west has begun to lose confidence In
the infallibility of New York's lead
ership in national politics. New
York dictated McClellan's nomina-
ton in "a, Seymour's in '68, Greeley's
in ~, Tilden's III '66, and Hancocks
IN 80, giving us long procession Of
failures. l do not see any point in
trying to nationalize a fight between
Chairman Manning on the one side
and John Kelly on the other side. I
think that any good outside candi-
date would be stronger in New York
than New York candidate"

have been no inconsiderable relief by |
the state. This accession to the rev.
enues of the university would have
stood as clear profit, almost, because
the increased patronage would not
have necessitated increased expendi-
ture in anything like a ratio equal to
the increased receipts. The policy of
of exclusion is direct injury to the
states reputation for liberality
and progress as it is slam at the
local business interests of Austin. In
any light it may be looked at, it is
foreign to the genius and bent
of our people. The policy
had its origin in that general
littleness and narrowness of contrac-
ton which has all along won for the
governor the contempt of the liberal
and progressive people of his state.
Open wide the doors of our univer-
sity as we do the avenues to fortune
honor and distinction in everything
else. Texas would welcome here ar
mics of students as she would armies
of farmers, artizans or others who
would work for the development and
up-buildiDg of the state or any single
interest represented here, and yet the
executive of the state alone closes the
doors of our great university to those
who would seek here in the beau.
tiful capitol of Texas, the learning
for which they will be compelled tc
seek at the universities and colleges
of the north. This policy is the policy
of the demagogue. 1t is intended tt
teach that the governor is alive at al
times, only to the interests of thu
state; that even in the matter o.
schools he would work alone for her
Heidi not suspect that in its practi
cal workings the thing would exactl!
reverse the intent he held in tn,
stand he took. 1t was the tactics o
the politician, not the wisdom of tn
statesman and the sage. 1t was tn
} narrow view of littlen eSs, not tn
great and strong policies whicl
would confer a great favor upon tn
state, and incidentally upon the yout
of all the states who cared to com
here and participate with our ow
young men of the good things prov
: ded with so lavish hand by the wi;
dom and enlightenment of the legi'
V lature of the state.
l. We are sorry for Governor Irelan
y that he has left such a record as tn
u behind his administration. We al
/ sorry for the state, that this marrow
: ness of view on the part of her exc
% utive has won for her an unenviab
e reputation for its liberality detr
II mental alike to it's school and bus
J. ness interests. We hope to see actic
n reversed in this matter at no distal
u day.
