An Eminent Atheist.

DR.. Samuel P. Putnam, Secretary Of the
National Secular Union, is in Butte, a

At the Grand Opera House this evening
George c. Min will make his first appear
ance in Butte. Mr.. Min will open his
weeks engagement as Bertuccio in ''The
Fools Revenge" a role in which he is pro-
nounced by the leading critics to be un-
rivalled. George c.. Minis biography has
been frequently published, and to Butte he
ia wen known by reputation as the man
who at n bound jumped from the pulpit
to a leading place on the stage. Mr.. Min
is to be congratulated IN the success which
is attending his theatrical career. He has
met obstacles such as few have to meet,
but he has manfully s~urmounted them
and resolutely won his way up, in spite OF
Opposition. He has dramatic talent Of a
high order, and the power and the pur-
pose to accomplish the best results. He is
doing better work now than ever before,
and in the short time he has been upon the
stage he has reached q position which lew
are able to attain, even after a lifetime ef.
fort. He is supported by a company Of
more than ordinary ability, and he will
doubtless score q successful week in Butte.

s C ESTIMATES.

Asking Secretary Fairchild in a letter to
Representative Breckenridge, of Kentucky,
in regard to the estimated receipts I'D ex-
penditures for the next fiscol year, says
the amount of refunds to be paid under
the decision as to the duty on cottons is
estimated at between 5 $4,000. 600 and S.
900, 600. He says further that tho item
of 81. 600, 900 specified in the book OF esti-
mates is for the ordinary and usual repay
ment to importers OF the excess OF deposits
upon ~ascertained duties or upon duties
where the monies are paid under protest.
Consequently the estimated sum, he says,
should be increased to about $4,000, 600
or 50, 600, 600. He explains that the sum
OF of So. coo. 900 for debentures cannot be
used for the payment of claims under the
Obertuffer decision, nor otherwise except
as drawbacks on imported material, ex.
ported in the form OF manufactures. The
receipts for the next fiscal year, although
given as estimated at $s15,OOO,O 600, will
probably amount to 1888, 900 900 accord
ing to the ratio of increasing duties for the
present year.

THE MOMENTOUS
MATTHEW ARNOLD ON HOME RULE
FOR IRELAND.
Ehs Country Awakening to the Irish
Question-Giving Uncle Sam II Poke 10
the Ribs-Adjt. Gen. Moran's Assertion
Foreign Notes.

LONDON, May 24-Matthew Arnold
writes to The Times as follows: "All next
week while the moment of the great vote is
nearing shall be on the Atlantic on the
way to my American kinsmen, who abb
stained from setting up southern parlia-
ment themselves, but are SO anxious it
seems, that we set up an Irish one. Suffer
me to say before depart that, to my mind,
the country is slowly but surely awakening
to the Irish question. 1t will not be satisfied
unless vote be taken on a clear issue, and
unless a distinct engagement shall be made
that a vote shall not be considered to have
been taken on a clear issue il taken on any
question but that of separate national
parliament for Ireland.
"Messrs Chamberlain and Mr.. Trevelyan
may be so committed that they prefer that
a vote should be taken ON some other issue.
They deserve every consideration They
had the merit of opening their eyes when
they saw where Gladstone was going, in
stead of shutting them tighter, like Banner
man. An indirect issue would possibly suit
the other members, but direct issue alone
will suit the country. A separate parlia-
ment for Ireland is Gladstone's irreducible
MINIMUM.
ireland is a nation says Mr.. Parnell,
menacingly, and Mr.. Stansfeld gushingly.
A nation should have its national parlia-
ment Ireland has been nation and
most unhappy one Wales and Scotland
also have been nations. Politically none of
them are a nation now. Britain could not
have risen to her present greatness if she
had given them separate parliaments. You
begin to take your nations politically again,
but you begin also to undo what made the
country great"
Mr.. Arnold then supposes that England
with her great resources might, in untried
ways, continue to be great, even with Ire
land, Scotland and Wales made nations, but
he asks if Englishmen are justified in taking
the risk. He denies that the case of Aus
tria and Hungary affords parallel to that
Great Britain and Ireland because Hungary
was the bigger and Austria has declined
since the union. He refers to the United
States refusing to allow tho south to set up
an independent parliament and forcing in
back under the rule of general congress as at
example for England to follow in the case
Of Ireland. He contends that the solution
of the question lies, not in according inde-
pendence but in reforming the Irish gov
ernment which should be modelled not
upon the perverse ideas of an intriguer like
Churchill or a coercer like Salisbury, but
upon foundations of justice, 1irmness, and
hberality. He thinks Goschen could for
mulate satisfactory system of domestic
legislation for Ireland and that CromwelI's
rule was preferable to the system proposed
by Mr.. Gladstone.

said before starting for Cleveland that he

settlement have failed. He says working
men will vote according to a sense of right
IL left free to act by themselves, but are apt
to be influenced by a demagogue in open

badly be boycotters so some degree until

BAR HARBoR, Me-, May 24-Mr. James

said: THE fisheries question resolves itself

United States ought to have the privilege OF

successful rebelious colonies were arranged

United States the same right and privileges
as regards the fisheries that the residents Of
the colonies enjoyed prior to the revolu-
tionary war. Those rights enabled the
citizens of the United States to fish where
ever they chose on the coast of the prov
inces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and
Newfoundland.
