that weighs one hundred pounds andover.

taken that weighed one hundred and

lakes are of the most superior quality,
bringing in the southern markets better

In one of the most crowded tenement
house districts funeral was in progress
day or two ago when reporter for the
New York Nail and Express passed by.
Twenty-four coaches, a hearse and a flo
rists wagon stood near at hand. From
the last-named vehicle men were busy
carrying various floral devices into the
house. The thousand windows that lined
the street on either side were full of heads,
and the heads were full of eyes. Think
ing some one of local celebrity at least
was about to be carried to his long home,
the reporter approached the undertaken,
who stood in the doorway, and asked:
"Was the deceased ward politician,
or is this a society funeralY
Neither; it is private affair, and the
dead man was only plumbers helper"
'But these broken columns, these floral

The reputation Blaine has Of being
sort Of bull in a china shop in regard 70
diplomatic matters. is being used by his
managers as foundation Tor strong bid
for the Irish vote. 1t is said that IL Blaine
Is elected there viii be a vigorous foreign
policy inaugurated, especially with re-
gard % England. and-it is limited that his
great love for the Irish voters viii induce
him to take a stand that viii inure greatly
10 the advancement Of the cause Of the
Irishfpatriofs. II has been ennOunced
that O'Donovan Rosa and Patrick Ford
viii lead the Irish vote bodily into the
Republican camp, these two worthless
having already declared for the tattooed
candidate.
Neither Rosa nor Ford, nor the popular
leader, Alex. Sullivan, nor any other man
or set Of men, however, have the power to
carry or deliver the vote Of the Irish citl-
zens OF the United States. They are too
independent Of thought, too intelligent,
and too firmly rooted in the Democratic
faith to be handled by leaders or caught
with such deceptive bait as the Republic
cans are Offering them. They know that
from its very birth the Republican party
has been the enemy Of ireland and the
Irish race. They VIII never forget the
hue and cry raised against them by the
Know-N othings Of the North, who after
wards constituted the Republican party,
nor the political and religious fanaticism
that at one time threatened TO drive all
Irishmen from American soil. They have
not forgotten the disbanding Of the Irish
militia organizations, the sacking Of
Catholic churches, the burning Of con-
vents and other acts OF the KnOw-NOth-
ings; nor have they forgotten the repeated
assertions Of the Republicans that the
negroes were more worthy OF suffrage and
social equality than the masses Of the
Irish in the country.
The anti-Catholic and anti-Irish record
/ OF Blaine himself has not been lost. The
Irish newspapers, with the exception Of
the dynamite organ, are laying it again
before the intelligent Irishmen Of the
country. Blaine has never been the
friend of Ireland or the Irish people either
as a KnOw-N Nothing, as a Republica n, or
| as an official.
The Republican party has taken many
bold and cheeky political turns, but none
more utterly demagogical than its bid for
the Irish vote. The Irish will not be
likely to be deceived or cajoled into join
ing hands with their old enemies against
the party that has ever proved to be
friendly to them and all their reasonable
and legitimate interests.

Something that Promises Trouble.
Hon. J. L. NJ. Curry. Of Richmond, Va.
well known throughout the South as
the General Agent OF the Peabody Edu-
cational Fund. in an address prepared to
be delivered before the National Educa-
tional Association which viii meet in its
annual session to-morr0w at Madison,
Wisconsin, takes strong ground against
meddling BY this country with European
questions in order to please
some Of our foreign born
citizens. In the course Of his address
he saws: ssThe general sentiment Of the
country has favored the immigration aud
naturalization OF foreigners. In the
present Congress, twenty-one of the
members are by birth aliens, and ninety
five were elected, in part, by constituent
cies in fourteen States, where the mere
declaration Of an intention to become
naturalized entities a man to the priyi-
lege of voting. We should tolerate no
German, Italian or Irish factions or
parties. Questions which pertain to Bis
marck and ParneIl, to Alsace and Cork,
to Italian legislation, are not to be en-
grated on American politics."
He might. with great propriety, go fur
Their and protest against the tendency Of
political parties in their platforms to
promise to legislate in the interest OF some
particular class Of citizens. The promise
is made not because it is thought that the
particular class deserves attention, but
for the purpose Of influencing the vote Of
that class. Why should the platform Of
a great party single out the workingmen
as a class worthy of attention any more
than the farmers or farm labOrers or CON-
mercial drummersf That sort of thing
smacks of demagogism, and is pregnant
with trouble.

Chenner TelegranhY.

Another cut in telegraph rates has been
made. The Baltimore and Ohio Company
has reduced its charges between New
York and Chicago from 40 to % cents for
ten word.
This company announces that it has al
ready in operation 10000 miles of wire,
extending from Boston to Texarkana, and
going to nearly all the larger cities of the
Union. 1t also announces that all suits
brought by rival companies to delay or
prevent the erection of its lines have been
decided in its favor, and it will now re-
double its efforts to extend its business to
points not heretofore reached by it.
1t is probable that this company will
soon unite with the Postal and the Bank
ers' and Merchants Telegraph Compa-
MES, making a consolidated company that
will be formidable rival of the Western
Union. In this event another general
break IN rates may be looked for, at least
TO all points east of the ninety-second
meridian. A uniform twenty-five cent
rate may be attained in the early future,
and a temporary rest may be taken at
that, but the demand Of the country is
for rate of one cent per word, and before
many years this demand must be met.
With such rate the volume Of the tele-
graphic business Of the country would
no doubt be ten times as great as it is
now.
1t might be best for the Western Union
to anticipate the reductions it will event.
ually be forced to make, put down the
rates to a minimum figure at once and
retain a comparative monopoly iof the in
creased business, rather than to wait I'M
til rival companies are established and
then be forced to cut rates on a divided
business. Competition is often best met
on the threshold.

The Commissioner of Agriculture Of

of the State. The oat crop-all harvested

and sugar cane So. Sweet potatoes are
reported little below an average in the
upper portions of the State and little
above on the coast and in the southern
counties. The fall Of rain during the
month at the different stations averaged
11.54 inches, falling ON nineteen days out
of thirty, while the mean temperature
was 70. The report contains the transla-
ton of one of Prof. ViIle's lectures on ag-
ricultural industries, which will prove in
teresting reading to farmers.
