THE IRISH WORLD, a prominent organ
of the Irish-AmericaDs is down on Cleve-
land and fayors the election of the Re-
publican candidates. Hitherto it has
been intensely Democratic. The follow
ing is part of an editorial in the last issue
of the World:
The press in the service of the An
glicized class in America today are the
New York Times. the New York Ecening
Post. the New York Herald, Harper'S
weekly and Puck. Others might be men
toned, but these will do. All these
journals are the open enemies of Ireland
and the Irish. All these hold the COM
mon people in contempt. These papers
are the opponents of the class that die
tated the nomination of Cleveland for
President of the United States. They
are opposed to Blaine because Blaine has
the reputation of being in favor of a Wig
orous American policy. On the same
ground the English press on the other
side of the Atlantic are against Mr..
Blaine. The " Anglomen know the
man and the policy they want at Wash
ington and they know the man and the
policy they do not want there. 1t is to
be presumed that genuine Americans,
also, know what they want and what
they don't want.

He pursued his studies industriously
until the family moved to Holland Pa
tent, where his father suddenly died.
This event broke up the family. Grover
accepted the position of assistant teach
er in Il blind asylum in New York city.
The above is an extract from one of
the current Democratic biographies of
Grover Cleveland. The fact is that he
was merely a clerk in the institution
named, not teacher. A lady now in
Middlebury, who was student there at
the time, remembers distinctly that this
was the case.

THE useless waste of valuable lives in
arctic exploration has, it is to be hoped,
come to an end now that the remnant of
the Greedy party has been rescued.
1881, to act in conjunction with a dozen
other scientific corps fitted out by Euro
pean governments, the object Being the
study of meteorological phenomena for
the international scientific congress. The
party numbered twenty-five. They
we're to have been visited in 1882 and
them last year they were to retreat
southwark and at Littleton island they
were to find a relief party. 1t will be
remembered that the Neptune, sent out
in 1882, turned back and the Proteus
was sunk last year. together with the
supplies that should have been left at
Litteton island for Greedy and his men.
The latter did as they had been directed,
but on arriving at Cape Sabine in Octo-
Der, 1888, the boat they expected to find,
in which to reach the island and the
supplies. was not there. They brought
with them from the north only small
quantity of provisions. which were soon
exhausted. Then they starved to death
one by one, till there were only six, be-
sides Greedy, alive when the Bear and
Thetis discovered them on the Dad of
June. Upon the arrival of the rescuing
party those still living were dying with
hunger, having subsistcd for some time
on boiled shreds from their skin clothing
and moss from the rocks. They have
been brought to st. Johns, y. F.. and
are recovering. Such, in brief, is the
story of the expedition. That it is not
worse is perhaps cause for thankfuIness.
Like all previous undertakings of the
sort. the results are meagre and the cost
fearful. For the men who face the per-
lis of the frozen north are men worth
something to the world. Neither cow
ards nor weak and worthless creatures
90 out with arctic expeditions, but brave,
strong men, hat are not too numerous.

O'BRIEN's circus, which showed here

during its trip through the State. The
Barton Monitor speaks of it as a swindle.
and thinks the managers were known to
it if not participating in the same. Their
plan was to make the wrong change, and
then bluff their customers out of it. In
some instances the authorities took the
matter in hand and they were made to
disgorge, in one instance after they had
got on the cars to leave town.-EFee

And yet the advance agent of the show

the thought of the sharp trick he and the
rest of the reformers played when they
suggested the use of the word exclusive
ly' in place of the obnoxious word only
in the 1880 platform, and the substitution
of the words public purposes in place
of the word revenue The new foi IN of
words means the same thing as the old,
but it is less Objectionable to the Penn
sylvania variety of Democrat; it sounds
better, and it is well calculated to fool
somebody.
Candidate Cleveland's utterances on
this point in his letter of acceptance will
be looked for with interest. In face of
Mr.. Blaine's positive stand he cannot
hedge or dodge the point,as the platform
makers succeeded in doing.
