"While in the country last winter my little

the Flying Dutchman waa a real ship
and its captain a real character In the
early seventeenth century, when compc-

for East Indian trade ran high, one ship,
plying between Rotterdam and Java,
was known as the Flying Dutchman. Its
captain and owner vas one Bernard
Fokke, whose name deserves to be ex-
humed as that Of the first man who used
iron in the construction of a ship. Sheets
of iron were visible in many parts ol
Fokke's ship, and the populacc, know
ing well that iron naturally sinks, grew
suspicious when this one, instead o.
sinking, surpassed all others in swift

II good quality of gas can be manu-.
featured in Washington for 40, 80, or 90
cents per thousand, the government can
afford to purchase the gas works aud pay
for them in 3 per cent bonds, and charge
the people small advance on the cost OF
producing the gas, keeping the works in
order, and providing for liberal extension
OF the service in the suburbs. We are not
advised as to the va lue OF the plant and
franchises OF the gus company, but would
advocate the purchase upon a fair basis.
Such policy would end the contentious OF
rival corporations or interests, who have no
disposition to manufacture the gas cheaper
than the old company. A change of corpo-
rations would be like jumping from the fry.
ing pan into he fire. The government fur
nishes cheap but impure water, and is very
slow to improve the quality by the con.
struction of proper receiving reservoir.
The one now used is pond, which receives
the drainage Of thirty six square miles OF
country. When Congress shall take SUN.
cient interest to furnish pure water from
the receiving reservoir, the NATIONAL RE
PUBLICAN will urge them to purchase the
gas works and furnish the people the best
and cheapest gas that can be made without
loss to the govern ment. The exact cost oi
manufacture will never be ascertained un
til they make the experiment; for testi
mony and practice do not always agree
Nevertheless, the government could furnish
gas cheaper than any other party, as they
could raise the money at per cent, per
centage that citizen stockholders would
not be satisfied with as dividends.

championship once to him, and it was
strange II the United States would not win
again. He had come here to Washington
to try his skill against the winner of fifteen
contests, and among so many Of his old
army friends 1t would be strange II he
(Walsh), who had defeated fourteen, could
not take the championship medal aud the
money back to San Francisco, his destinG-

confident, so that n strong aud interesting
contest may be expected. Athletic Park Is

Is II possible that we here, at the capital
OF the nation, are to stand idle and look on,
while New York, Chicago, and the other
great cities are contributing their tens OF
thousands to help the friends OF Ireland in
their great struggle with the moneyed aris-
tocracy OF Great Britain? We see Justin
Mccarthy defeated by their votes. How
many more Of the friends Of Ireland may
not be defeated by like small numbersp
One pound might have saved that member

out OF seven In the wOrkingmen's district
had been, yesterday, carried by the tories
Don't you think that money was spent to
accomplish that resulp WE'LL it is q life
struggle, and therefore behooves us all to
contribute our mite. / therefore inclose
you mine that 1t may be help In
such close districts as the Londonderry
district. II now looks very much as though
the grand old man may be defeated; but
that, to me, is one OF the reasons why we
should stand shoulder to shoulder aud show
the enemies OF our dear old country that,
In shadow as In sunshine, we shall ever
stand by her until justice is done her chill
