THE SCOTCH-iRISH.

WICHITA, May %.
To the Editor of the Eagle
With your permission | would like
to say few words in your much cs-
teeme d paper concerning Mr.. Twins
note on Irish history. Ia the year
1907, when O'Neal and O'Donald with
their followers were crushed by over
whelming numbers the above named
chiefs fled TO Spain, where they found
a home. King Jane |, of pious mem-
orr, took bird s-cye' view of the
situation to discover way by which
he could repopulate the fair province
of Ulster,' which was at that time
converted into slaughter pen. The
king gathered together the ''scum"
from London, York and Bristol. and
and the alienated barbarians from the
highlands of Scotland, which, accord
ing to McCauley, could never be ruled
by any form of law These robbers
amalgamated, and their descendants
were Called Scotch-lrish." After few
generation. the conquered "Sabnes"
became Romans, the French
llugcnots became English, the
iIessians became Americans. but the
Scotch-Irish are still thorn ON the
side of liberty in the land of their
birth. They never failed to send tory
members TO parliament. Their lead
ers fought Lord John RusseI's reform
bill in 1882, and likewise the present
extension of the franchise IT was an
assembly of these men. nick-named
an Irish parliament, that voted men
and money 10 cut American throats
in 1777. | can further prove that
England hired these angels TO execute
her dirty work" by starving aud tor
turing our American prisoners in New
York during the revolutionary war.
To speak the truth. there were few
defendants, however. who were good
men. but the masses. am sorry to say
are still imbucd with the same polit-
ical principles as their barbarous an
cestors. 7. II. CoNLoN.

,yer 100 900 inhabitants from issuing

over 100, 900 inhabitants from issuing
bonds or accommodating debt that
shall amount to more than 10 per
cent on the property assessed. The
assessment of New York city is now
about 81 ,lSO, O0O, 600. The city debt is
1926, 600 600 which is more than 10 per
cent on the assessablc property. A
bill went through the last legislature
assessing the property for its full
value. The assessment hitherto has
not been for more than two-thirds the
real value, and sometimes not that.
The probabilities are that this bill
went through for the purpose OF al
lowing the city authorities to issue
additional bonds, thus increasing the
debt and practically annulling the law
limiting the debt of this city.
Business ia New York continues
dull, and business men are at a great
loss TO account for the dizziness. They
were promised an increase of business
prosperity after the election of Cleve-
land, but the present indications are
that Cleveland's administration is 60
ing to be one of the most unsuccessful
from a business point of any we have
had for many years. Daniel Manning
the Secretary of the Treasury. seems
to be running the United States Treas
ury in the interest of the banks, mon
ey lenders and monopolists of the
country, and not i'm the interest of the
people. He j. doing everything he
can 10 make silver unpopular. He
has ordered the settlement of the gov
ernment accounts in the clearing
houses in all the principal cities to be
made in gold coin or gold certificates
and grcenhacks. He has stopped the
payment of the public debt entirely
and is locking up the money of the
country in the treasury vaults and
managing il in such way As to allow
the silver to accumulate in the treas
ury, and the gold coin 10 drift into the
banks. Within the last two weeks
about SO 100000 of gold has left the
treasury, and the banks have increased
their supply nearly that amount. On
the other hand, the banks are losing
their silver and it Is piling up in the
treasury. Ii there sh ould be any de-
mand for coin TO go abroad, it will be
only Il short time before gold will go
to premium, and the Secretary of
the Treasury will be selling bonds in
order to get gold to redeem the green
backs. There is Il vigorous effort be-
ing made by the banks and the treas
ury department to drive silver from
circulation. and to make all debts pay
able in gold coin The same parties
think they can drive green backs out
of circulation as soon as they get rid
of silver.
Now if the next congress should i'll
troducc q bill to make II further re-
duction on the rates of duties on for
eign imports, and Manning continues
his management of the government,
you NAV look out for Il financial cy-
clone within the next veal or two.

NEW YORK, July 24.-rhe Tribmse
will publish Tomorrow u statement of the
present status of the trust fund raised by
the citizens Of New York lor Gen. Grant
several years ago. After telling how. at
the suggestion of the late Governor Nor
gan, $lSs,000 Of the fund was invested in
Wabash railroad first mortgage ! per cent
bonds. which were then considered as
good as governments, Governor Morgan
guaranteeing them, and undertaking to
make both principal and interest good out
of his own private fortune in case the in
terest should be defaulted for six months,
the Tribune says: what six months ago
seemed almost an impossible contingency
will probably become a fact within u few
days. On Aug. | the interest on the
bonds in question will be six months in
arrears, and it is probable Governor Nor.
gan's executors will. in accordance with
his guaranty, pay over to the trustees
of the fund the principal and in
terest. Only one question remains
to be determined. 1t has been suggested
that il the of the Morgan estate
lend to the railroad the money herewith
to pay the interest on the bonds held in
trust for Gen. Grant and his family there
would technically be no default, and
therefore the Morgan estatr would not be
liable for the nrincinal Whntsver pnurs.

Regretting the Choice of the Place
of Burial.

WASHINGTON, July "a Regret j. al
most universal here that Central Park,
New York City, has been selected as the
last resting place for the remains Of Gen.
Grant. Tie Past says editorially. there
is no national character to Central Park.
and no reason why a man Of national re-
nown should be buried there. The Re
publican is equally emphatic in its express
sions Of opinion that Grant should be
buried here, and says there is some talk
of the Grand Army sending a formal pro
test to Col. Grant upon the ,ubject. Gen.
Burdette, commander in chief Of the
Grand Army OF the Republic, said to.
night he was very sorry ftr the selection,
but that 100, 900 G rand Amy men would
attend the funeral wherever it takes place.

rest beside him at last, telegraphic commu.
nication being conducted to adjust this
matter. Mayor Grace responds to tho in
duiries that the city tenders the family the
burial spot. This vague message does
not seem to consider the condition of Mrs.
Grants burial spot, and the family and
Col. Grant are left in doubt as to the
willingness of New York City to accede to
the easily understood condition that Mrs.
Grants sepulchre must be in Central
Park, if the general is buried there; and
so at the moment of this writing the
matter hangs and delay is the result.
The family and Col. Grant have deter.
mined upon Central Park, if the condi-
ton shall be complied with by the city.
If New York shall be the spot chosen,
and there is little doubt that il will be
settled this afternoon, the programme of
the funeral arrangements will be as here
given: The remains will lie quietly at the
cottage in the room where the general
died until Tuesday afternoon, August 4,
when the funeral cortege will be placed on
a special train and conveyed directly, ..and
without demonstration, to Albany. reach
ing there in the evening. The remains
will be borne to the capitol building,
where they will lie in state until Wednes-
day noon; then ard thence the dead
general will be conveyed by the funeral
train to New York, arriving there We'd
nesday evening. The body will then be
conveyed to the city hall, where it will re
main in state until Saturday, August s,
when it will be borne to its last resting
place in Central Park. All this pro-
gramme Is now prepared upon the as
sumption that the evident hitch in New
York with reference to compliance with
Gen. Grants condition as to the inter
ment OF his wife, shall be complied with.
