The Question of Adjournment.


WASHINGTON, June l0.-A resolution to
adjourn sine die on June so was reported
from the ways and means committee, and
adopted by the house to-day. The resolu-
ton was adopted unanimously by the house,
but it is extremely doubtful if the same sue
cess will attend it in the senate. Mr. Ran
dali says the house will be ready to adjourn
on that date, and whether they will or not
depends entirely on the senate. The mem
bers of the house are all very anxious to get
away, and say the date of adjournment
cannot he fixed any too soon. On the other
hand, it is thought the senate will not agree
to any adjournment until the house shall
have acted upon several important meas
ures which have passed the senate. If the
senate insists upon the house taking action
on these measures it may delay the adjour-
ment a couple weeks longer, but the gen
era1 opinion is that an adjournment will be
had about the middle of July.

The Irish Vote.
WEST FLORENCE, o.,

Mr.. Editors:
DEAR SIR-Hearing much with regard
to SO many of my Irish friends and Irish
Americans going to vote for James G,
Blaine, in different localities, l took g
notion ! would go to Richmond, Ind.
where l have a good many friends and
acquaintance of my own nationality,
and talk to them in regard to election
matters. To my great surprise when
came to sitting matters to the fouDda-
ton, l soon found out there was no truth
in the matter. 1t is only a scheme Of
the Republican party to deceive voters.
Patrick Ford OF New York, claims to be
the editor of the IRISH WORLD, which
think is owned by two "Christ killers
that do not believe in God or man. ]
took the New York ''Irish World' some
years ago, when Mr.. Ford first started
the paper, and he then gave Patrick
O'Donohoe fits from the word go, on ac-
count of printing a paper-a Catholic Or
gan or journal-called the Boston Pi-
lot, :" and called him a Protestant, a tory,
and everything a man could be called,
on account of having a few Englishmen
at work for him in his Office. Nj. O'Don-
oboe has been editing the Boston Pilot"
for years, and was doing SO before Pat
rick Ford took charge of it, and it is the
Oldest and best Catholic organ there is
in the country. Mr.. O'Donohoe of Bos-
ton, and editor of the "Pilot,'' is q gen.
tleman and a man that betrayed
his Irish friends in regard to getting them
to vote for a party that would send them
to perdition if they had the power. There
are Irishmen getting the sIrish World"
now who never knew of such a paper in
existence before the Republican party
circulated it. They are getting very kind
and generous to the Irish race in Ameri-
ca. There are Irishmen resolving the
''Irish World" at this time that do not
know how it come to them. 1 Hope while
the Blaine party are SO liberal in regard
to distributing the "Irish World" that
they will be so kind as to distribute a
few copies of "Harper's Weekly" &C.
~casionally as they go along with the cam
paign.s If the editor of the Commercial
Gazette" has not got correspondence
enough to dictate to the Irish and Irish
American population, let him notify Lag
arus, the King of the two Jews he has in
his office, and he will be supplied from
the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and the Irish population who are here in
America and who will all vote for Cleve-
land and Hendricks.
Yours truly,
WIN. B. o'CoNNER.

Girls, don't marry a lazy man. There

enough to marry them, and then they
will live off her pa. Look where you are

To pay or not 10 pay, that is the
question, whether tits better for me
to refuse to take local paper and
deprive my family OF reading all the
news, or pay up promptly what the
printer asks, aad by such pay ments
cheer him? No pay, no paper, then
no more shall be posted on the
news and local haps throughout the
town, and divers topics; tits a con-
summation that have long feared.
To pay-to stop +? To stop! perchance
to lose-aye there's the rub! for in
that stop no interest do / take in
any of the affairs that move the
town, and such shufflipg Of all that's
good may make me pause.-There's
the respect every editor maintains
for those who come down with the
cash and never delay tn settle up
"that little BILL" For who would
bear the pointed squibs and pungent
paragraphs. which far too oft reflect
upon the man who fails to settle his
Subscription bill? ? I'll haste me now
to the editor, aud with plethoric
purse In hand, will settle up In full
one year from date. by paying 70
him from my ready cash the sum
which is him due Hasckeye.

No Drunkard Need Apply.

The Meridian Mercury thus en-
dorses one of the resolutions adopted
by the last Prohibition State Con
vention.
We most heartily endorse their
expressed sentiment that "intem-
perance should not be countenanced
in public officials and that no drunk
ard is worthy of our support" We
90 further than the convention and
say that drunkenness in Office ought
TO be rlgidly prosecuted by grand
juries and courts to conviction.
This county has been having some
unpleasant experiences of late which
might have been averted by rigid
EXECUTION Of the law denouncing a
penalty against drunkenness in
office. The citizen who don't run
with the Prohibitionists and clamor
for local option, is relying upon our
license laws as being the best. We
remember to have noticed that Mr..
Bayard once expressed that convic-
tion. Entertaining that view, he has
a right to have the license laws rigid
ly enforced, as for instance, that the
saloonist shall not sell to minor,
to a man who has got already drunk,
nor to known habitual drunkard.
If grand juries could elevate these
conceptions of their duties above
finding indictments for selling a
glass of beer on Sunday and other
minor violations of the Sunday laws.
ali of doubtful constitutionality,
they would better discharge their
real duties. TO this extent, we and
the Prohibitionists seem to be
agreed. We should be glad if we
could run all the way together in the
suppression of the grand evil of in
temperance.
