Belfast in the Hands of a crazy Mob.

BELFAST, Aug. 8. There was more rioting
at Belfast last evening. Crowds assembled
on York street and awaited the return of the
Catholic excursionists, upon whom they
made a fierce attack. A detachment of po-
lice charged the attacking party, who stoned
and wrecked number of houses. The mob
rapidly increased and drove back the police.
The latter then fired upon the mob, killing a
young man and wounding seven others. A
detachment of soldiers charged bayonets and
cleared the streets. The police suffered Sc
verely. Some shots were fired from the mob,
but without fatal result

Mr. BIaine's Address.
Mr.. Blaine then spoke briefly regarding
some tendencies in Modern College Educa-
| ton.
| He had long wished, he said, to visit one OF
| the Chautauqua assemblies to learn more OF
| their modes of procedure, and to express his
| admiration Of the singularly efficient work
the association is doing-doing so modestly
and with such small cost. The members are
indeed accomplishing what Sydney Smith de-
| clared the founders of the Edinburgh Review
had prescribed as their aim in their classic
maxim which freely translated, he said,
meant that they were cultivating literature
on a little oatmeal. The organization which
| DR.. Vincent mas so ably perfected is novel In
| its design and would have been absolutely
impossible before the era of the railroad and
the telegraph. De Vincent has founded
popular University in which students can be
admitted without regard to age or previous
culture, and which by the large stimulus I'M
parted by cooperation is producing nun
dredS of thousands Of earnest and serious
| readers in the country. 1t is self-inStructlon,
guided in right channels and made efficient
by a comprehensive and masterly organiza-
tion.
Some of the features of this Chautauqua Or
ganizaton might teach useful lessons to many
of our colleges. The danger besetting our
higher education is its expense, and beyond
that the still greater danger of permitting
demoralizing and corrupting expenditure
beyond the necessary outlay of college llte'

So much has been said about the dis
like Of the democratic party for old
veterans that many have come to think
it a generic trait. 1t is. somewhat sin
loudest in professions are suspected to
be hypocritical; while in the matter of
regard for the old soldier those who are
most wordy in recounting services are
deemed the most reliable friends. And
still careful analysis of motive will
show that those who are constantly
preaching duty to the soldier, are those
who are making a living from their pro-
fessions or who hope to secure political
advancement from their pretended re-
gard. There are many democrats who
never yet attempted to fatter the old
soldier who are in favor of general
pension law making no exceptions, so
that all deserving claimants might be
placed 90 the pension rolls. They admit
that many unworthy persons would thus
get their fingers into the treasury, but
this could be endured because of the
many deserving claims which would be
thus recognized. It may be seriously
questioned whether those who are so
ostentatiously the friend Of the soldier
would be willing to have this question
settled to the entire satisfaction of the
persons whose champion they pretend
to be. With this final settlement their
occupation would be gone and they
would be compelled to adopt some other
means of earning livelihood or counting
popularity. The old veterans should
distrust the sincerity of those who pro-
test SO loudly while doing so little.

WATERFORD, little village in Racine
county, is suffering from malignant
type of typhoid fever. Within a few
days 40 persons, mostly children attend
ing the Catholic parochial school, have
been stricken with the disease. The
disease is said to have originated from
using water from q well near which the
receptacles used by young man, sick
with the fever contracted at Milwaukee,
were cleansed. The children in the
school use this water. Steps are taken
to clean the town as the vaults have long
been neglected.

The Lake Shore Times. In giving a
resume of the proceedings of the State
Teachers Association meeting held at
Madison, states that ''the committee on
common schools sharply criticised the
paper read by Supt. John Nagle at the
meeting last winter, alleging that MANY
of the statements therein were greatly
exaggerated or overdrawn." 1t is hoped
the readers of The Pilot will excuse the
writer the making of few comments on
a subject from which his own personality
cannot be wholly excluded. The paper
referred to has certainly provoked more
discussion than is pleasing to its author.
session in Madison it encountered the
hostility Of men whose adverse judgment
on the views presented, should ordinarily
be accepted as conclusively proving them
erroneous. Nor is there any disposition
to deny that the writer of the paper sum-
marily failed to ''hold his own" with the
many who attacked the position taken.
The discussion ended in the appointment
of a committee to report upon the paper
at the summer meeting, and Mr.. Chand-
Ter the Assistant State Superintendent
made the report. The Times is absolved
in the writer's opinion from any inten-
ton to do injustice as it gathered its in
formation from The Milwaukee Sentiuel's
report which seemed to grudgingly ad-
nit that the report was in any sense
favorable.
To show what the nature of the criti-
cisms are few extracts from private
letters from professors in normal schools
are here given:
"He revised many of your points and
showed that you stood on solid ground"
cit was clear showing that your
statements were true, timely and worthy
of most candid consideration.
''You would have had the satisfaction
of seeing another illustration of the old
adage that time sets all things right
Chambers report on your paper of last
winter was complete vindication of the
soundness of your views and it afforded
me personally good deal of satisfaction.
There WIS not a single dissenting
voice on the adoption of the report and
his paper was received with hearty ap-
proval by those who last winter condemn
ed your position.
This defense is offered, not through
any feeling of personal triumph, though
there is some personal satisfaction in
knowing tLat the Jenability of position
is conceded by those at first eager in de-
nial-but as justification of views on a
matter in which error may do incalcula-
bic harm. The writer of the paper was
convinced that the "sharp criticisms of
last winter were undeserved and the re-
suit of hasty Judgment, and possibly
misapprehension of the position taken.

GENERAL BRAGG does not seem to be
a good judge of men; at least he does
not seem to know that the friendship of
some men is given only in consideration
of favors received. .. Nj. Smith of
Oconomowoc is one of these. He has
not been consulted as much as his i'm
portance demanded, in the distribution
of offices and he is mad. Bragg was so
far lacking in judgment as to write this
local statesman confidential political
letter, and it and the reply are published.
This is following the example of men of
note whose correspondence on public
matters, though private in form is usual
ly regarded as public property because of
the Interest taken in the opinions ex-
pressed. Smith thinks he's big enough
to have his letters printed and SO in
wretched English, doubt corrected
by the proof reader as fully as fidelity to
the copy would allow,-C. M. Smith
gives his opinion of General Bragg, be-
cause some one got the post Office when
Smith had a different choice. Bragg
will learn wisdom in time, and will then
know that a vain man is very unreli-
able one,

The boom for Governor Rusk is by no
means what it was few weeks ago, and
before the republican state convention is
held, the tide will have turned so that it
will be considered as inviting defeat
to nominate him. 1t is very serious
question whether the republicans will
dare to nominate the man who one month
ago would have swept the state like
cyclone.
The change of sentiment is due to the
absurdly extravagant praise showered
upon him by sycopkantic press. 1t
disguised everybody. Poor Rusk couldn't
blow his nose that some lick-spittle pa
per was not at once in the attitude of
worship. People began to inquire the
cause of all this adulation and soon found
what little need there was for all the fur
ore. The more the Bay View murders
were looked into the greater became the
indignation and the engagement, when
its nature was understood, proved as
serious SET back to Rusk, as it before
was boom.
And then the determination to place
the striking leborers on the same level
with the anarchists, has borne bitter fruit.
The laborer has been forced to make the
cause of the anarchist his own. When
Schilling was showed into the same cell
with the anarchist Hirth, by the author
tiles, the character of striking laborers was
given the anarchists, not, as was hoped,
the character of anarchist to the striker;
and 50 on, the effort to cast discredit
upon the labor movement by placing it
on a level with anarchist disturbance,
worked contrary to what was expected.
The governor lacked sense to such a de-
gree that he aided in magnifying the
little things. His annulment Of BUD
zinski's commission of notary public was
about as uncalled for as the shooting at
Bay View with the additional disadvan-
tage of being very small thing.

The Lacrosse convention made no
nomination but will meet in September
at Neenah. The resolutions adopted are
in the main, quite good. Indeed by a
little excision they would be first class.
Their condemnation of anarchy is timely
and the resolution favoring the suppress
sion of riots, even by employing military
force if necessary, is a sound expression
of views which any party may adopt and
be deserving of credit for SO doing. 1t
is Just as essential that the exercise of
this power be used with the "utmost
care and prudence" as that it should be
used at all. The abuse of the military
power is more dangerous than the evil it
is called upon to destroy. The labor
convention has done itself credit by the
adoption of the resolution mentioned,
and has taken most conservative posi-
ton, in striking contrast on the one hand
with that of the anarchists who decry
any attempt to suppress violence by force,
and on the other with the opinions of
those crazed on military matters who
think when boys are dressed in blue
coats they arc licensed to commit muir
