THE IRISH VOTE.
Important Conference OF Catholic
BishOps and Leaders of the Na-
sf0nal League.

BosroN, Aug. 20-At the Parker
House, yesterday, Mrs. Parnell held a
conference with number of Catholic
Bishops and leaders OF the Irish Ma
tional League concerning the means by
which the coming political contest in
this country could be turned to the ad-
vancement of Irelands s cause. 1t is un-
derstood Mrs. Parnell represented her
son at the conference. Mrs. Parnell
submitted the details of a scheme for
the benefit of Irish home industry,
which, she stated, was conceived by her
son and was being put into practical
execution. Parnell, she said, had
formed an association in England and
Ireland of capitalists and manufacturers,
whose aim was to encourage home in
dustry in Ireland. The association pro-
posed to establish factories for the ex-
elusive manufacture of Irish goods such
as could not be manufactured in England
or other countries, including such
articles as laces, linens friezes, woolens,
and tweed, and preparations were al
ready in progress for the establishment
of such factories in different parts of
Ireland. Mrs. Parnell made sugges-
ton as coming from her son, that a
proposition would be submitted to the
Republican and Democratic parties, the
acceptance of which by either would
decide tor which party the organized
Irish vote would be cast. Mrs. Parnell
stated that as these Irish goods could
not be made in this country, their i'm
portation would not in any sense conflict
much as the association in England |
proposed to exclusively control the pro- |
duction. Mr.. Parnells proposition,
therefore, was that direct offer would |
be submitted to the political parties of |
the United States, as follows:
If, in accordance with the friendly |
feeling expressed toward Ireland in
America by Americans, one Of the
political parties will incorporate a plank
in its platform in favor of admitting
goods of Irish manufacture free Of
iuty, specifying such goods as can not
be manufactured elsewhere than in Ire
and, and the importation of which will
not compete with American produc-
ions, then such party will receive the
support of the Irish-Ameri-
;an vote. Even if direct organiza-
ion is not made, yet the Irish
'ote will be directly or indirectly infu-
need in favor of the party which shall
hampton the cause of Irish industry as
Indicated. !" II
Mrs Parnell leaves for New York to- s
ay to take preliminary steps toward S
ne organization of Irish interests, so
hat in case of action by either lead
ng political parties the promise CON {
aimed in the proposition can be full {
lied. During the conference it was
tated the reason why Alexander Sulli-
an so persistently refused a re cleo
ion to the presidency of the Irish Ma
ional League was that he proposed to
inter the canvass in support of Blaine,
md did not wish to compromise the
IRISH American vote by becoming q
public speaker in support Of the Repub
lean candidate while holding office as
PRESIDENT of the Irish National League.

One of the most notable discussions on
ihe substitutes for human milk in
ehildren's diet is that which took place at
the forty-fourth meeting of German
naturalists and physicians at Salzburg. A
commission had been previously ap-
pointed to prepare papers. the discus
ZION being directed to two points, viz:
first, the substitution of natural. unadul-
:erated animal cows milk for the human
milk, and its production; second. the sub
,titution of artificial foods, with OF with
,ut milk, for the natural milk-their na-
iure and value. After earnest discussion
or two days, the conclusion reached in re-
g0rd to artificial foods was expressed in a
unanimous resolution, that these prepara-
ions can in no way be substituted for
piothers milk. and, as exclusive foods
hIring the first year. are to be entirely and
completely rejected. Cows milk was
declared to be the only substitute for
human milk, and every effort should be
made TO insure its purity and goodness.

tense heat, the large company presen,
| gave their close attention to the after
| noon work.
Prof. Jones conducted the exercise
in Grammer, with particular emphasis
| upon the subject of the pronoun. He
| alluded with regret to the fact that to
the majority of pupils grammar is dull
and uninteresting study. This is large
| ly due to the fact that instructors are
SO prone, in the teaching of this branch,
| to fall into the use of forms and stereo-
typed phrases. The letter of the text
becomes more of an object with the pu-
pill than the spirit.
Mr. Olcott continued his remarks
upon Psychology and the aims of school
teaching. He gave to the institute a
plattorm-prepared by himself-of what
he considers to constitute a practical
education.
In language to the great regret of all in
his pleasant and gentlemanly bearing as

WEDNESDAY FORENOON.
Several pieces OF music were rendered
with spirit and enthusiasm, after which
Rev. Frost Craft read from the scrip
lures and led in prayer. Mr.. Craft then
proceeded to speak to the institute upon
subjects of interest to the average teach
er. He enlarged upon the influence of
the teacher as exercised over the young
child. The teacher possessed of keen
sensibilities of ardent sympathies and
strong moral character, wields a power
in the shaping of the worlds future be
yond that of the greatest statesman.
Timothy Nicholson addressed the as

opinion that the intellects of children
are being stimulated to an extent vastly
beyond that to which the moral charac-
ter is being developed. What the world
SO sadly needs is manly men and wo-
manly women.
Following short recess came a brief
lecture from the prominent educator,
Hiram Hadley, of Indianapolis. Mr..
Hadley drew vivid comparison be-
tween the work comprehended in the
school system of past day and that in
the system of our own time. He called
to the fact that out of seventy
five male students in a prominent school |
in indianapolis but seven graduated
He sought for an explanation of this |
fact in a brief review of the character
istics of the age. Why are SO many |
boys without earnest work to do and
without purpose in life? In his opinion,
boys should be trained by teachers of
their own sex. Mr.. Hadley is an earnest
fands the efficacy of good anecdote

Mrs. katherine Grey addressed the
teachers upon her art-which is so well
known to our people, that we will not
pause to expatiate upon it. Mrs: Grey
never displayed her ability, We think; in
more forcible manner than upon this
occasion. We understand that she
gives an entertainment for the purpose
Of demonstrating her skill before the
