In the list of papers recognized as Irish

1--WE opposed the nomination of Cleve

earnestly work for the election of Cleveland

to Mr.. Blaine now that had he been IA de-
fender of the rights of naturalized citizens
when those citizens were flung into foreign

would support him today, and a million
Americans of the Irish race would vote for
him in November But he did not do it
and his pretensions of fair play and friend
ship now are sheer humbug."

HOW TT SUITS,

Joliet Republic Sun, Aug Z: 1--WE learn
that the Republicans of La Sale county
have decided to change from Cullen whom
they have supported with such unanimity
for the past four years. We had not heard
that Mr. Cullen had done anything to cause
them to lose confidence in him. On the
contrary, we are sure that he has represented
the district with dignity and credit, and
respect of his associates in Congress, He
is "A steadfast and true Republican, and has
worked and voted for every interest of his
district. We rather take it that La Sale
county, having had the lions share of Con
gressional honors since this district was
organized, and having had one of its fore
most men just now for four years in office,
has decided to recognize the just claims OF
Will county, and give us the congressman
without contest, And they have done so
in a very graceful manner, Colonel Ralph
Plumb, "A gentleman who was staff officer
in the late war, is a resident of the thriving
city of Streator. The Colonel belongs to
that class of men who are styled independ-
ent republicans; and having served on the
same staff with General Garfield in the war
became acquainted with him, and warmly
supported him for President. Of course
the party in La Sale county have never
nominated the gallant Colonel for an office,
but they now very courteously give him
their complimentary vote for Congressman.
1t is not only very proper thing to do on
the Colonels own account, but it lets down
Congressman Cullen easily, as they could
not otherwise do. We hope that when the
nomination is made, the Colonel will not
go off to support some other candidate, for
he is gentleman we would like very
much to have with us"

Horse Wins Three Quarters of Million
for His Owner.
LONDON, Oct. l0.-Mr. John Hammond the
owner of St Cations, estimates his net winnings
on the turf during the present racing season at
the enormous sum of $3.50, 600. His winnings on
the Derby alone were $50, 000 and those of the
last two or three years amounted to 800, 000
Mr.. Hammonds proudest boast to-day is that
twenty years ago he was employed in cleaning
boots outside of a sporting hotel at Epson. He
began his career on the turf as a stable boy,
Next he became jockey, and when he grew
too heavy TO ride he became tollter. He pur-
sued this calling until he became financially
strong enough tie be an investor on his own ac-
count. His career as winner has been meteoric,
and his luck has been phenomenal He bought
St Cations and Florence for $4,000 and has
won more than ten times that amount with each
animal in this one season, capturing the Derby,
the Manchester Cup the Ascot Gold Vase the
Cesarewiteh, and dozen minor events. Mr..
Hammond is great friend of Fred Archer, the
most famous of English jockeys. Archer has
Just brought suit for libel against the Morning

A Democratic Oefaulter.

SEYMOUR, Oct. 10.-During the latter part of
the summer Mr. Burrell, the Democratic county
clerk, took a six weeks leave and during this
time it became generally whispered around that
he was short, but no legal Investigations were
made. He has, however, lately returned, and
an investigation shows that he is short about
10000, about half of which was incurred during
his first term, and which the old bondsmen,
who are financially sound, will have to stand
good for. The law requires a bond
of $4,000 for the clerk, and it has now
transpired that the bondsmen are not
good for even half that amount, and those of
them that are good for anything have trans
ferred their property into the hands of their
wives or others, and the widows and orphans
and heirs of estates whose guardians intrusted
theirproperty into this clerks hands have though
gross negligence on the part of the commission
ers and duprcity on the part of the clerk lost
thousands of dollars When Mr.. Burrell was
first elected clerk he was a bright, exemplary
young man, but drink, gambling and bad asso-
Citations caused his ruin.

HENDRICKS AND LAND GRANTS.


Few Additional Points Culed from His
Record in Congress.
To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
l wrote you the other day respecting the rec
ord of Mr.. Hendricks when in the Senate, on the
land-g grant subject, showing thathe actively sup
ported in debate the Northern Pacific grants,
and that he offered no objection to the passage
of the bill of 1864 doubling the Union and Cen
trail Pacific grants. The two bills set apart
about 60, 600, 600 of acres of land to those two
corporations an area more than equal to the
whole of New England, Pennsylvania and New
York.
1 find that in the Thirty second Congress,
when representative from Indiana, he voted
for the bill of May g. 1852, granting land to the
State of Missouri to aid in the construction of a
railroad from Hannibal to St Joe. This bill set
aside l, 764, 10 acres. (See House Journal, page
749)
In the same Congress he voted for the bill Of
Aug q, 1852, to aid the States of Arkansas and
Missouri in constructing railroad from the
Mississippi river to the Texas boundary. The
grant to the companies covered by this bill was
about 3 600, 900 acres. tSee House journal, first
session Thirty second Congress- page l094.)
In the Thirty third Congress, first session, he
also voted June 20, 1854, for the House bill to
nd the Territory of Minnesota in the eonstruc-
Eion of a railroad therein. (See journal page
i03l) This bill was subsequently repealed.
Thus in both Congresses in which he was a
representative Mr.. Hendricks sanctioned the
policy which he afterward pursued as a senator,
and which he now denounces though he had
40 responsibility for 1t.

THE C0UNTRY'S COMMERCE.
Vast Extent of Our Internal Trade-Large
Consumption of Home Products.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l0-The matter of chief
Importance treated in the annual report of Mr.,
Nimmo, of the Bureau of Statistics, is the enor-
nous magnitude of our internal commerce. 1t
is shown that the value of the products of the
various industries of the United States is seven
times the total value Of our foreign commerce,
nearly three times the total value of the foreign
commerce of Great Britain and Ireland and five
times the total value of the foreign commerce
of France including in each case both imports
and exports. The total value of the products of
industry in the United States is also shown to
be little more than twice the total value
of exports of merchandise from all countries
of Europe The United States is now the larg
est manufacturing country on the globe. The
value of the products of American manufacture
consumed at home is five times the value of the
manufactured products of Great Britain and
ireland exported to all countries and more than
fourteen times the value of exports of manufac
tured products from France to all other coun-
tries The relative value of our internal COM
MERGE compared with the foreign commerce Of
the country, is also illustrated by statements
showing that 80 per cent. of the coal mined in
this country 80 per cent. of our iron and steel
products, 80 per cent Of the products
of our leather industry, more than 90 per cent.
of our manufactures of wool, 80 per cent. of the
products of our cotton manufactures, more than
80 per cent of our manufactures OF silk and "
per cent Of our manufactures OF glass glass
ware earthenware and stoneware, are con
sumed in the United States The report shows
that the total value of the exports of merchan-
disc from and imports into California, Oregon
and Washington Territory, for the year ended
June 30. 1884 was $83, 365, 8l4; the value of ex
ports was $40, ESQ, 28I, and Of imports, 93h 49,
