tion was taken at tho suggestion of tho
Irish National League.
There is evidently not much chance Of
the visit of the Prince and Princess to
Ireland allaying in the least degree the
feeling Of irritation in that country. And
TO add to this feeling is the decision Of
Crown solicitors that Mr.. Parnolls mani
festo in regard to the visit is reasonable
document. To show what the Crown So
licitors regard as treason, it may be said
that Mr.. Parnell's manifesto advised the
Nationalsts, during the Prince Of Wales
visit, to maintain an attitude of reserve
making neither hostile demonstrations nor
giving utterauce to expressions Of welcome.
Tho manifesto also declared that the visit
of the Prince aud Princess of Wales TO Ire
land was inopportune while an unspeaka-
bly, indecent coterie remained in possession
of Dublin Castle,

Here in tho Northwest the Postmaster

latter. Ho is pure Democrat and gives

Gray, Attorney General of the State, to I'LL
the unexpired term in the Senate caused
by the resignation of Mr.. Bayard. Judge
Gray is Bayard man, and the latter sue
cessfully threw his influence in his friend

An Evidence Of Bis FITNESS.

Secretary Villas was hardly seated in tho

worthy Vice-P President of the United States
