Holders Of trade dollars have the assurance
Of g. veral prominent Congressman that an effort
will be made this winter to pass bill pro'id-
Ing tor the redt mption of this much sbnre coin.
Similar efforts have been made ia previous
Congresses. ut they have failed because it was
alleged that the hulk Of this coin is held by
spe culators. 1t is said that four or FIVE years
ago a concerted movement among New York
spectators Deprecated the va ue Of the trade
dollar, and forced il down TO current value
of from 10 to IS cents. This ou ing to tw"
cause.-the discovery that the COVE ~en'
mHst redeem this class OF col be ause was
obsolete and worth less than its face Y. ae. and
also ecsuse certain caT itnlists determined to
buy il up for speculative purposes. Ttey were
purchr ssd at an average of IS cents and With
drawn from circulation. II they should be re
deem now The 81 eculaiors would only make
about IS per cent. on their investment, which
has stood for our years. Under the circum-
sta noes he objection of the passage Of such
bill on the ground that il is in the interest Of
spectators alone no longer holds good, and
there seems to be no reason Why Congress
should further withhold legislation on the
subject.

A RALLY AT NEW YORK.
Psrnell and Gladstone Endorsed by
Many PrOmlnent Men.


NEW YORK, May THE Irish home
rule meeting at the Academy Of Music to-
night was . great success. A dense
throng was gathered there to show by
their presence their sympathy for the
movement for home rule in Ireland The
stage was filled with men distinguished in
every walk OF life. American flags
intertwined with green banners and
golden harps OF Erin festooned the audi
tOrium. Among those present on the
platform were Eugene Kelly, eX-Post-
master General james, Col. Frederick A.
Conklng, Judge Richard OGormau, eX-
Senator Fitzgerald and Judge Edward
BrooIne. Gov. Hill entered the academy
with Mayor Grace. Soon afterwards
there entered Gov. Leon Albeit, Of New
Jersey. Later, Senator John
Sherman, Congressman Grosvenor, and
Congressman Butterworth OF Ohl0. and
Gen. Stewart l.. WoOdiord. Mayor Grace
WAS made temporary Chairman, and he
announced the object OF the meeting to be
an expression OF approval OF the efforts
OF William E. Gladstone and Charles ;.
Parnell TO secure home rule for Ireland.
They had met not as enemies OF
England, but as friends OF Ireland, both
countries would be better for settlement
OF the struggle between them, the Mayor
then introduced Gov. Hill, who made an
address, holding that IL was right OF
free people to govern themselves and to
possess their own soil. 1t was a cause
dear 10 every American heart. AS
Americans they did not propose
but their sympathies we're their own and
their money was their own, and they were
ready to give of both TO aid Ireland. Dur
ing the great civil war England was
ready to recognize the Confederate States
as belligeTents. TODAY we recognize the
faithful ParneIl and his followers as
belligerents in peaceful strife, and
we extend our sympathies to them and
to the grand old man, Gladstone.
Reading n paragraph from the Daily Lon
don Telegraph, cabied TO New YORK, In
which the Chicago and Milwaukee riots
were attributed to Irish influence, he
looked around and said the Irish ne saw
in the audience were bankers. merchants,
lawyers, Judges, editors. men whom he
did not think encouraged riots but
who did sustain Mr.. Gladstone in
his efforts to right Irish wrongs. Loud
applause and cheers greeted Gov. Hill as
he closed. Professor Richard Y. Greener
read resolutions which were unanimously
adopted. They praised Mr.. Gladstone
and his measures and also Mr.. Parnell.
Nearly all the well-knOwn gentlemen al
ready mentioned made short addresses.
The enthusiasm was OF the most intense
kind.
As soon as the resolutions were adopted
O'DonOvan Rosa rose and protested
against any praise OF Gladstone. His
voice was drowned in hisses and groans.
Gov. Hill stepped forward and said the
amendment was too late, and said II
Rosa wished we'll toward the cause he
would not disturb the meeting further.
This was received with cheers and laugh
ter. O'DonOVan Rossa then subsidized.
