The grave of Fanny Parnell, in Mt.
Auburn Cemetery, Boston, will be de-
corated with flowers by committee
appointed by the East Boston National
League, on Decoration Day. This en-
largement of the purposes of the day,
embracing distinguished men and wom-
en- who labored for human rights, is
admirable, and we are glad to see that
it comes from Irish-Americans.

The interest OF the people Of the
United States in the enfranchisement
of Ireland, though based exclusively on
the sympathy the American people
have always felt for her gallant and op-
pressed children, might well have a
more practical foundation. ireland,
with her legislation in her own hands,
and with the impetus to all enterprise
which that condition would assure.
would soon become a large customer of
the United States. What she is now
a few facts will disclose. The exports
TO Scotland from the city of New York
last year were in value over twenty-one
millions and a half of dollars; to Ireland
less than two millions. The little city
OF Leith, with a population of about
&C, 900 people, imported from New York
double the value of all the importations
which Ireland made. GLASGOW imported
nine times as much as all Ireland. This
was not simply result of Ireland's
poverty, for she paid in taxes to the
imperial treasury last year nearly $4o,-
0OO, 900, but because her commerce like
her administration is elslavened and
alien. With a home government ad-
ministering her finances she would
soon have, as she had in 1890, COM
merce of her own, and no country
would profit by that so much as the
United States-and none would so de-
serve it.

The portrait gallery of the Bismarck
Tribune is, if nothing else, original. In
a late issue that paper publishes an al
legged portrait of Col. Donan, which, we
fear, will have the effect of bringing
the apparently venerable Peters gray

onel is not the man we take him to be

IRISH STANDARD: Sc
nationality, or religion. The glorious
banner of our country protects alike the
humble and the poor, the mighty and
the rich. Every man in the United
States has an opportunity for earning
for himself an honest livelihood, and
may have opportunities of acquiring an
independent fortune. The German pop
ulation forms an important conservative
and influential element and the same
may be said of the German population
throughout the United States as we'll as
of the other nationalities. They contri-
buted largely to the development of the
resources Of this country, and daily aug
ment our material prosperity. But, as
the events Of the last few days in Chi
cago have shown, there exists in this
country small but turbulent element,
composed Of men who boldly preach the
gospel of anarchy, socialism and nihil-
ism. These men are land pirates, prey
ing upon the industry, commerce and
trade of the country. Their favorite
weapon is dynamite. Their mission is
to destroy rather than to build up. In
stead of strengthening the hands of the
government that upholds and protects
them, they are bent on its destruction.
Instead of blessing the mother that
opens her arms to welcome them, they
insult and strike her. II these men had
their way industry and trade would be
paralyzed honest labor would be unre-
warded, and gaunt poverty would stalk
over the land. They have no concep-
tion of tfue liberty. They would retain
the lions share of freedom, leaving to
others only morsel. The citizens of
the United States enjoy the amplest lib
erty, but it IS liberty Of law, of order,
and authority. Liberty without law
degenerates into license We have no
standing armies in this country, and I
am glad OF it, for such armies are great
drair upon the resources of the country,
and necessarily condemn large numbers
Of men to life of forced idleness. The
strongest force Of nation lies in the
laws of tie land judiciously administer
ed, and these laws are upheld and sus-
tanned by healthy public opinion. The
strongest bulwark of a nation is found
in the intelligence, virtue and patriotism
of its native and adopted citizens. So
long as they love their country and
cherish her institutions, and are going
to die for her if necessary, we will have
nothing to fear from anarchism, social
ism and nihilism. Socialism is g. for
eign plant, noxious exotic, which
grows only in dark places, and withers
and decays under the genial sun and at
mosphere of the United States.''
The Cardinal concluded his remarks
by exhorting the congregation to love
their country and her institutions, and
to do all in their power to promote her
interests to beware OF demagogues and
not to submit their liberty to any men Or
class of men, with socialistic principles,
and at all times to observe the golden
maxim Of doing unto Others as they
would have men do unto them.

Sunday Nights Meeting Of the League.

There was an unusually large attend
ance at the meeting Of the Dayitt
branch of the Irish National League at
Window hall Sunday evening, May 8.
Every available seat was taken. Mr..
McHale, president of the League
branch, called the meeting to order,
and after the transaction of a limited
amount of business literary pro-
gramme of considerable merit was pro-
duced.
The songs by Nj. Walsh were well
rendered, equal at least to any of his
former efforts.
Mr.. L. M. Hughes, who is the author
of q poem which calls to mind many of
the scenes Immediately following the
late cyclone at St. Cloud and Sauk Rap
ids, read the same before the audience
present
"A duett by Miss Lizzie Shea and Miss
Sarah McCauley was highly appreci-
ated by the many listeners. So, too. did
the duett of Misses Katie and Lizzie
Shea receive a most hearty endorse
ment.
Mr.. Vaughn entertained the audi
ence with song and at the close re-
ceived an encore. It was well-de-
served recognition of his merits as a
singer.
Mr.. John Mccarthy pleased the as
semblage with a recitation, and Miss
Katie Shea sang ANNE Laurie'' with
splendid effect.
DR.. Finnegan addressed the audience
at some length upon the Irish question.
He spoke of the unparalleled persever-
ance Of Parnell and the strength of
public opinion at the present time COW
ering the Irish questions at issue.
Much might be said in behalf of Miss
Maggie Kennedy, who has been a stead
fast worker in the interests of the or
ganization. During the many meet
ings of the branch Miss Kennedy has
been one Of the most faithful attend
ants, and has often presided at the
piano, always giving the most perfect
satisfaction.
Previous to adjournment all unani-
nous vote of thanks was rendered to
the ladies for services rendered during
the evenings entertainment.
The adyisability of discontinuing
these meetings during the summer sea-
son will be discussed at tomorrow
evenings session.

IT was doubtless a great surprise to
the Chicago Anarchists to find that.
after they had enjoyed absolute free
dom Of speech, no matter how intem-
perate and incendiary the language;
after they had been permitted to as
semble without interference, and even
to arm and to drill and to preach the
doctrine Of arms and dynamite, upon
the first occs sion of carrying their
threats into practice they were con-
fronted by as stubborn and relentless a
resistance as if they had been in their
own countries. In the lands where
Nihilism exists a known member of the
order is hardly permitted to show his
face, ana it is not unnatural that with
the greater license enjoyed in this
country such fanatics thought that
similar to]eratlon would be extended
to their acts. When it comes to that
though. the hand of the law is found
to be as heavy here as it is anywhere.

HON. EDWARD BLAKE, leader of the
Liberal party of Canada, recently
proposed in the Dominion House OF
Commons resolution with the object
of streng gthening and assisting Mr..
Gladstone in his endeavor to give Ire
land the Home Rule to which the Can
adian Parliament said, in a series Of re
solutions in 1882, the Irish were entitled
Mr.. Blake's resolution was lost by a
vote of 113 to 60. The cause assigned
for this is that the Conservative party
of the Dominion pretend that in 1882
Lord Kimberley denied the right OF
the Canadian Parliament to express
any opinion or offer any advice on I'M
perial affairs. This excuse appears to
us shallow and hypocritical. The Can
adian Parliament did not pass the re-
solution Of 1882 to please Lord Kimber-
ley or Mr.. Gladstone, but to help the
people of ireland struggling for their
rights, and to promote the welfare of
the Empire. AS part Of that Empire,
Canada undoubtedly has the right to
give expression of her opinions on I'M
perial questions, especially those which
like the Home Rule question, affect he'll
self materially and instead OF renounc-
ing that right because Colonial Secre-
tary has treated her with insolence she
should whenever proper opportunity
presents itself assert her rights.

combining the three positions OF cook,

careful attention to the wants OF the pun
lie soon placed his venture upon a sub
stantial basis. Year by year, success at

all over the State, and Martin is famous
~ a model manager in his BUSINESS. Dur
ing his successful career, Martin has wit
messed the collapse OF twenty-three rival
establishments, which fact Is OF itself q
sufficient indication of where the bulk OF
the trade goes. While many things have
combined to produce the success here
achieved, one Of the most important, un-
doubted, is a liberal patronage Of the adj

ST. PAUL TO WHEELING
A FOUR WEEKS TRIP OF FIVE THOUSAND
FIVE HUNDRED MILES.
A Nswsy and Entertaining Chat With United
States Special Agent George R.
Tingle Esq.

George R. Jingle, Esq, United States
Special Agent of the Alaskan Seal Islands,
paid the REGISTER Office an enjoyable visit
Yesterday. He, with his family, left st.
Paul Islands August 5th, arriving at San
Francisco on the 18th, distance of $500
miles. Mr.. Tingle's family remains IN
California, where he will join them later
and spend the winter, as he does not ex-
pect to return to the Seal Islands. until
next May. Mr.. Tingle Is
under orders, at his own
request, to report at Wheeling and thence
communicate with the Department at
Washington by mail. He expects to re-
main here during Fair week, as he Is
anxious to see the working OF the now large
and prosperous institution which he had
so much difficulty in projecting and start
ing.
During the past season the company
operating the st. Paul seal fisheries, over
which Mr. Tingle has supervision,
killed and shipped to Lon
don 100000 skins. This is the
limit of the catch which the United States
government allows. These skins are cured
and packed in brine just the same as
the sheep pelts and hides
of commerce which our Wheeling
butchers handle every day. Two skins are
fastened together with their fur sides UNI
exposed and snugly tied. In this way they
90 in bulk to San Francisco, and thence in
casks via the Central Pacific railroad and
New York to London, where the turrlers
dress them and seal sacque artists do them
up in style for the tickle fashions of Paris
and New York.
Last year Mr.. Jingle made very ella
borate report of the condition Of the seal
fisheries, to the Government. Among other
things he called attention to the wholesale
manner in which the English whalers were
killing and pirating the seals in Behring
Straits, which are American waters. In
consequence, this season, the Government
dispatched the U. 5. Revenue cutter Cor
win up there, in command Of Captain
Abbey, and it wasn't long before he
had three English vessels with their
stolen booty from Uncle Sans waters III
hook at the Port of Sitka, Alaska, where
they will tarry until the American and
British governments settle the matter to
the satisfaction of both the Queens and
Brother JOnathan's taste.
Mr.. Tingle reports that he and his family
never had better health than while up on
the edge of the frigid zone. Certainly the
gentleman looks well, and weighed 225
pounds before he left st. Paul.
