FROM HIS FRIENDS At HOME,
Three Hundred Irish Citizens Send Patrick

"PalcELEss FOR IRELAND"
An Address OF Cordiality-The Happy
elimination OF an Event Long
Thought or-A Patriotic
Reply.
Rcwardins the Faithful.

CHICAGO, August 20.-A large meeting
was held at the artillery aruory on the lake
front this evening to hear addresses by
Michael Davtt and the Irish parliamentary
delegates An Interesting feature of the
evening was the presentation TO ex-Presi-
dent Egan of the Irish National league of q
beautiful service of plate from his friends in
Ireland. The presentation was accompanied
by an address, signed by nearly three hum
dred leading lrishmen, from which the fol-
lowing extract is taken to explain the cause
of the presentations:
Upon your return to Ireland last Decem-
Der, after prolonged political exile, many
of the foremost cti zcns of Dublin were de-
sirous of entertaining you at public ban
quet to testify TO the affectionate cordiality
with which your fellow citizens were eager
to welcome you home That intention was
laid aside In Difference to your emphatic in
tmatloE. that scourged as Ireland was with
coercion, and darkened with hiueously
familiar shades of famine, the moment was
not one in which you could be party to
festivities in your honor. While yielding to
your wishes in this res pect, 1t was found n-
possible to repress the anxiety of your
friends to take some method of slgnaliZng
the gratitude and esteem which you nave
earned tr ON your countrymen by me.long

priceless to the Irish. cause, Withous
any public intimaton of the object, friends
from every part of Ireland sought participa-
tlon in the compliment They have made
us the medium of rendering to you the ac-
companying service of plate more valuable
in your eyes because wrought by Irish hands.
We beg your acceptance OF the gift as o
pledge of your countrymen's appreciation OF
your sterling qualities as an lrishman and
friend.
In the course of his reply accepting the
gift Mr.. Egan said: II be- you, sir, to con.
vey to the numerous signerS of the address
and the donors of this pres Stntation my
warmest thanks and my assurance that in
the future, as in the past, whatever part !
may be called upon to take in the national
movement-my every effort shall be directed
towards keeping the green flag of Ireland
nailed to the mast uutil at not far distant
day we shall see it wave over an Irish paria-
ment on College Green making laws for q
prosperous and happy Irish nation"
After the presentation to Egan, the reading
of the following telegram evoked tremen.
dous cheering:
To Fitzgerald, chairman of the convention,
Chicago: | thank the convention of the Irish
National league of America for the encour-
aging mes sage which you send. The ratili-
cation by the convention of our policy and
action, the order, union and moderation Of

THE DAILY NEWS JoCosIrY. Fg1
The Daily News remains iocular over the
Chicago convention observing that Their
convention could hardly separate without
boycotting something, and we deeply regret
to announce that it has resolved upon boy
cotting English manufactures. Considering
to what extent those products are already
boycotted by'tlle American tariff. this resolu-
ton cannot be described as anything better
than fallen foe The difficulty will be to
find goods to boycott in the union" Its cable
dispatches quote from the Herald that the
proceedings may be regarded as vote of con-
fidence in Mr.. Parnell and Mr.. Gladstone.

Edward Pike, of Salt Lake, is in Cen
trail COL, with siuice-box amalgama-
tor which. commends itself as being
ahead of anything in its line in pre-
sent use. The invention consists of
a series of fixed boxes set about six
feet apart IN main sluice. These
fixed boxes are made about. two feet
long, and at the upper end they join
the bottom of the main sluice again,
making triangular-shaped box. At
the bottom of this is placed the quick
silver or amalgamated plate, and
above, running parallel with it, and
covering the entire fixed box is plate
perforated nearly to the end. In
working, everything is infinitely d.
divided and thrown with force through
the perforated plate upon the work
ing plate below and is then again
worked up into the main sluice. Sure
ness of contact with quick-silver-no
matter how fine the the mineral may
be-is simply accomplished, while
there is no danger of 'sfilling up" from
heavy sand or gangue.
An application Of electricity is also
made in this box which has never
been successful before, by which the
lower and the upper plates form the
negative and positive poles. This is
claimed to keepthe quick silver bright
and catching, and can readily be at
tached. ~
Simplicity, cheapness of construc-
ton, general adaptability and eff
ciency-numerous tests having prov
ed its superiority-are what is claim
ed for this machine. A rough test at
one of the mills in Central, showed
traces of amalgam in couple of hours.
Mr.. Pike will place one or two ma
chimes in Colorado, then come to
Idaho to test it on Snake river flour
gold.

out what is that, if he doesn't believe
it, will bebar him from membership.
There is no policy here in either party,
nothing, | fear but death and disin-
tegration. Evils are rampant, but,
Congress is deaf and blind. The
remedy must come from purpose on
the part Of the majority Of the House,
the remedy must come from those
having power, from this Democratic
House, taking hold of these questions
with courage and pressing them for
consideration and passage. We must
have purpose. We must hare tests
OF membership. Every organization
IN the world that is worth ANYTHING
has tests of membership. The Masons
have them; the Odd fellows have
them; the Knights of Labor have
them; but here the great political
parties Of this country have none, and
a man may believe anything about
heaven, hell, or human government
and be an acceptable member Of
either organization"

Marshal Dubois Duped.

The Butte City Free Press gives
the following interesting joke on our
Territorial Marshal: aArepresenta-
tive of the Church of Latter Day
Saints who is gnbw stopping in this
city, relates very good story at the,
expense of Fred Dubois, the United
States Marshal Of Idaho. Mr.. Dubois
is thorough officer, and the polyga-
mists. cordially hate him. He is.
watched almost constantly by the Z
Mormon spies, and his every move is
promptly communicated in all sec
tons of the Territory, the polyga-
mists being thus posted as to his ac-
tons. Last summer raids were made
into Gentle, Malad and Marsh val
leys, and it was made very interest
ing for those who had more than one.
wife. On one occasion the Marshal
and posse made all due prepare
tons for descent upon the law
breakers of Marsh valley, near Ok
ford, but the saints were advised of
the move and prepared to meet and
checkmate it. Several of the polyg-s
amists skipped out into the hills few
hours before the officer arrived, but
they captured one of the men whose.
names they had upon their warrants.

"Two," said the Mormon bishop.
"Where are theyr" demanded Du-
bois, smiling at having thus caught
his prey.
"Here is one," pointing into the
kitchen) and the other one is in the
graveyard one hundred yards away),",
was the apt reply.
The posse looked crest-fallen and
went away without any further ques-
tioning. As soon as they had disap-.
peared from view No, 2 deliberately
walked from graveyard to the house,
and the bishop was happy in. having.
thus evaded the Edmunds law.

BELLEVUE HERALD: 1t is impossi-
bic for the Herald to give any def
mite statement as to the robbery of
the Bellevue postofice last Saturday
morning. The officers must neces-
sarily work quietly, and for this rea-
son we are pledged to secrecy, but
can say that several parties are liable
to be arrested at any moment, and
next week, no doubt, we may have
definite news, as well as positive. 80.
On last Saturday morning several of
our young "bloods" got on bender,
and "painted the town red," as it
were. Window panes on Main street
were smashed; the latest dances were
given in the saloons in the noisiest
manner; the latest warwhoop of the
Camas cowboy was given several
times in our streets; holes were made
in the floor and partition of the St.
Nicholas saloon-and all this at the
hour of the night when the good peo-
pie slumber and ghosts walk. Three
of the young men put in an appear
ance before Judge Redsull this week
and pleaded guilty, and were fined
the costs. We refrain from giving
names because they have all promis-
ed to stay ss'home hereafter and pc.
ruse the revised "addition"-may be.
