From, the OLegelqnd Plajnde0ler (Depl.)
If calamity has come upon John Roach in his
old age We must needs have pity for the man,
but yet the truth must be told. And the
truth s that his ''great industry never had
any basis but government patron ge: that it
WAS supported by government subsidies; that
government officials were silent partners in
It, and that when an honest naturalization
came In and cut of these means of support
the great industry" collapsed.

The Mugwumps and the Beavers.
From the Cincinnati CoD1merciaI Gazette.
The mugwumps remind me OF the BEAVER
family. There were the old man and Jim and
sam and Jerry. They were an awful hard lot
Of heathens, and the old minister had labored
for long years to make some impression on
them. but all IN vain. They were stepped in
their wickedness and ribald unbelief. One
DAY the minister was sent for In great haste
from the Beaver house. He found sam APP
parently at the point Of death from rattle
snake bite, and full Of terror and cOntrition
and penitence. He confessed his sins, and
begged the pastor TO intercede and pray for
him. The good old man knelt down by the
bed and prayed:
Our Heavenly Father, we praise and thank
Thee for this great manifestation OF Thy good
ness and wisdom. We thank Thee for what
Thou hast done for Sam. Thou movest in a
mysterious way Thy wonders to perform, and
even through the venOmous serpent of the
fields hast Thou sent salvation to the soul OF
}
good work. send another snake to bite Jim
and another to bite Jerry, and send, we pray
Thee, particular big and plZen snake to bite
the old man, for Thou knowest, o, Lord, that

Cnvefeh PLACES

IL IS thought that ex-senator Nc Donald,
Of Indiana, has his eye on the position Oc-
cupied by Mr.. Justice Bradley. Mr.. Justice
Bradley was 20 years of age last March,
and, under the law, is entitled TO retire
with a continuance OF salary during life.
He is one of those sort Of men, however,
who like to work while life lasts. He may
feel that his life would soon end if he
should quit work, and if he feels that way
he may continue on the bench through the
present administration.
1t is probable that Mr.. Mcdonald would
gladly accept a place on the Supreme
Bench. The prospect that he Will ever
secure the nomination of his party for
President is not good. lie has the repu-
tation of being a very able lawyer and,
doubtless, would make an excellent Judge.
Three other Supreme Judges will reach
the retiring age-70-during MIR. Cleve-
lands administration. Chief Justice
Waite will be 70 on Nov. % next. Mr..
Justice Miller will be 20 on April next
year, and Mr.. Justice Field on Nov. 4
next year. All three of them, however,
are apparently in the enjoyment of good
health. They all look as if they were good
for ten years OF work. MIR. Justice Miller
doesn't appear TO be over 60 years of age.
They may all want to hold their places
until death claims them, or disease rem
ders them incapable of attending to their
duties.
They do a great deal of work. but not
as much, probably, as younger men would
do The business Of the court is falling
further behind every year, and if soIpe-
thing is not done soon TO relieve the court
great interests will suffer seriously. For
long time Mr.. Davis bill, creating a
Court OF Appeals court between the
present Circuit Courts and the Supreme
Court-has been the most popular meas
ure for the relief OF the Supreme Court. IL
is doubtful If it will ever become a law,
however, until both branches Of Congress
and the presidency are under the control
Of the same political party.
Secretary Manning has been working so
quietly that the country does not realize
how great a saving he has made TO the
government by dismissing unnecessary
employees. The amount is about 5000, 900
per aunum, and the work OF reducing the
force in the Treasury Department has not
yet been completed. In the course Of
year the people win begin to understand
that this Ia business administration.
Some of the Republican papers are
parading as a sweet morsel paragraph,
said TO have appeared in a Mississippi
paper, to the effect that "there will be no
more ballot-boN stuiiing in Mississippi
except I'm cases Of absolute necessity"
II is believed that II the Pennsylvania
Republicans had held 70 that doctrine
strictly Blaine's majority in that State
would not have been half as great as it
appeared % be.
There is reason TO believe that Mrs.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox's husband is very

Misery, Depreciation and Ruin for the
irish.

DUBLIN, June 20.-The Freeman's
Journal publishes long interview with
Bishop O'Connor, of Nebraska and
Wyoming, in which the prelate depre-
Gates the extensive Irish emigration. He
takes the ground that for two-thirds of
the people who leave Ireland as emf
grants to America the change means
misfortune and physical hard
ship of q most terrible kind.
besides q moral degradation still
more appalling. In great cities of
the East, says Bishop 0'Conner, Irish
newcomers sink daily until they be-
come the scum OF the population. with
ont money and without friends. In
TINS condition they are compelled to do
the hardest and most mental labor. and
from this position they can seldom
rise. II they go west" continued
the oishop- their prospects are scarcely
any better. In the west there is. OF
course, land in abundance, but this land
must now be purchased and the Irish
eInlgrant has no money!"
In commenting on the surprising de-
Giaration made in this interview the
r ,fes@GR's Journal expresses the hope
tlat the bishops statement NAV save
many irish men and women IRON
misery and ruin beyond the Atlantic.
