LONDON, October 3l.--The home
rule party has already held one-half
of its county conventions in Ireland.
In every one of these Mr.. Parnell's
dominance was not even contested.
The result of these conventions have,
therefore, been that thirty-eight Par
nellites, candidates for parliamentary
seats, have been nominated TO receive
the home.rule vote, and in every case
the nomination was made without
single tdivision. Twenty of these
nominees are new men who have
never been members of the house of
commons. In England the Irish
cause Is beginning to attract q great
deal OF respectful attention from per-
sons who not long ago utterly ig-
nored ii as unworthy of considera-
ton. Prominent Irishmen in Lon
don have combined to establish in
the metropolis an Irish club on
basis equally sound and respectable
with that enjoyed by the best of
the other great political clubs. This
enterprise has already made consider
able advance and suitable premises
near the parliament buildings and
business interests have already been
secured, but u great number of solid
subscribers must yet be obtained be-
fore the Irish club can be assured of
permanent success.
THE DEPRESSION IN FLAX SPINNING
trade In England is very great. The
great mill engaged in this Industry I'm
Leeds. and which employs 1000 oper-
ativcs, is threatened with closure on
account of this depression, which has
also decided great number OF the
English capitalists engaged In flax
spinning to close out their invest
ments in that line in Great Britain
and transfer them to the United
States. These capitalists frankly
state that their reasons for doing this
is to secure the benefits of the protcc-
ton Afforded their business by the
American tariff laws, and to escape
the rulnous c0mpetltlOn 10 Which
they are subjected under the free
trade policy Of England.
! Since Germany adopted the policy
of stimulating her industries her
merchants have astonished Europe
by their enterprise and sagacity, and
German competition is already cut
ting deeply, even the screw-making
trade at Birmingham itself. The
