or accepted by the Irish nation. They
are not unlonists, but proper unionists
True union is to be tested by the senti-
ments of the human beings united
Tried by this criterion we have less
union between Great Britain and Ire
land now than we had under the settle
ment of 1852. Enfranchised Ireland
gentlemen, asks through her lawful
representatives for the REVIVAL Of her
domestic legislature-not, on the face
Of it an innovating, but restorative
proposal. She urges with the truth
that the Capitalization OF parlia1nents
has been the division of people. but she
recognizes the fact: that the union law
lessly as it was obtained, cannot and
OUGHT MOI TO BE REPEALED.
She is content to receive the legisla-
ture in form divested of prerogatiyes,
which might have impaired her inn
perial interests, and better adapted
than the settlement of 1882 to secure to
her regular control Of her own affairs.
She has not repelled, but has welcomed
the stipulations for the protection OF
the minority. To such provisions we
have given and will give careful heed,
but trust Scotland will condemn the
attempts so singular]y made to import
into the controversy venomous ele-
ment of religious bigotry. Let her take
warning by the deplorable riots in Bel
fast and other places in the North
Among the benefits, gentlemen, l an
ticipate of your acceptance of our pol-
icy are these: The consolidation Of the
United Empire and great addition to
its strength; the stoppage of the heavy,
constant and demoralizing waste OF
the public treasure; the abatement and
gradual extinction Of ignoble feuds i'll
Ireland, and that Development Of her
resources which experience shows to be
natural consequence of free and or
derly government; from redemption OF
the honor of Great Britain from the
stigma fastened upon her almost from
time immemorial in respect to ireland
by the Judgment Of che whole civilized
world, and, lastly, the
RESTORATION OF PARLIAMENT
to it's dignity and efficiency, and the
regular progress Of the business of the
country. Well, gentlemen, the first
question I now put to youis, How shall
Ireland be governed? There is another
question behind it and involved in it.
How are England and Scotland to be
governed? 7 OH know how, for the last
six years especially, the affairs of Eng
land and Scotland have been impeded
and your imperial parliament discred
tied and disabled. ALI this happened
while the Nationalists were but a small
minority Of the Irish members, without
support from so much as handful of
members not Irish. Now they approach
ninety, and are entitled to say: "We
are speaking the views of the Irish ma
tion. 1t is impossible to deal with this
subject by half measures. They are
strong in their numbers, strong in Brit
ish support which brought 313 members
to vote for their country, strongest of
all in the sense of being right. But,
gentlemen, we have done our part, the
rest remains with yon. Electors OF the
country, may you be enabled to see
through and cast away all delusions,
refuse evil and do good. I have the
honor to be, gentlemen, your faithful
and grateful servant,
W. e. GLADSTONE.

A Big Enterprise.

Gen. j. F. Downing, capitalist of
lIrie, Pennsylvania, through his
agent, T. S. Woodruff, Esq, is pur.
chasing large tract of land south
of Mooreton, and proposes to erect
one OF the finest farms in the valley
These gentlemen now have 5000
acres, having this week purchased
the beautiful farm of d. w. An.
drus, consisting of 480 acres, nay.
ing him $18 per acre for the same.
Gen. Downing's farm now adjoins
the Adams farm on the west and
extends nearly to Mooretop, taking
in the Stebbins and Andrus places
and various others, and Mr.. Wood.
ruff assures us that the land is very
rich and could not be better located
as to drainage, etc. 1t is Mr.. Wood.
ruff's purpose to erect all the neces.
sary buildings, and equip the place
thoroughly to do thorough work, lie
having already purchased nearly
5000 bushels of the celebrated Sas-
katchewan wheat for seed next sea-
son. This wheat, by the way, was
raised on the celebrated wheat fl m
OF Cass county on the Wild Rice,
and averaged all the way from 36 to
46 bushels to the acre-and there is
no mistake about it. So that it is
shown that these gentlemen go into
the business we'll able to handle the
farm like the successful gardner
handles his garden. There are now
beautiful trees growing upon the
farm which, will be protected and
others put in, making the farm a
perfect beauty, and showing really
what may be done in this wonder
fully prosperous valley. These
gentlemen have already expended a
large amount of money in improve
ments on the farm, but have only
commenced in the good work. There
is not particle of doubt about Mr..
Woodruff being perfectly compe-
tent to push this enterprise to a
great success. He is a rustler and
is conservative enough to make the
work 60 for keeps.

WOMEN CAN VOTE.

The question has been asked us sever
al times during the present campaign
whether or not women can vote on the
County SUPPLEMENTARY question. In
answer to this we would say that they
can.
1t is rumored that Mr. Rogers will Sc.
cure the vote of every lady possible, &c
continue him in office. The lady friends
of Mr.. Parker will do well to be awake
to his interests and turn out to the polls.
1t is evident that the most popular
lady's man is to win i'm the fight.
The following is the law regulating the
vote of women for County Supernten-
dent:
SECTION |. That any woman of the
age of twenty-One (2l) years and up
wards, belonging to either of the classes
mentioned in section one ~ of article
ca of the constitution of the State of
Minnesota, who shall have resided in
the United States one Q) year, and in
this State for four az months next pre-
ceding any election ut which county
superintendent of schools is elected,
shall be entitled to vote for county super
intendent of schools ut such election, in
the election district of which she shall
ut the time have been for ten (lO) days
resident.
SEC. . Any woman entitled to vote
under this act shall be required to regis
ter as now provided by law for male
voters.
SEC. D. The ballot offered by any wo-
man entitled 10 vote under this act shall
not contain the name of any person to
be voted for ut such election except
such county superintendent of schools;
and all such ballots shall be deposited
IN Il separate ballot box, but canvassed
with the other ballots cast for county
superintendent of schools ut such cleo
ton.

McGILL CLUB.

A meeting was held in City Hall on
Friday evening last rs preliminary to
the organization of McGill club. The
Germania band and Veteran Drum Corps
furnished music, and while the attend
ance was not exceptionally large, there
were, nevertheless, nearly two hundred
| labOring men present, and from the
enthusiastic manner i'm which they re-
| ceived the remarks the various speak
ers, il was evident that hearty McGill
feeling prevailed.
The meeting was called TO order by
chairman Fowler, who introduced Mr..
j. III. Burns, editor of the Labor Echo
| st. Paul. Mr.. Burns is u Young man and
very ardent friend ofthe wOrkingmen.
He reviewed briefly the platforms of the
Republican and Democratic parties a.
presented by the State conventions and
contrasted the two as regards the inter
ests of labor and agriculture. lie proved
| to his audience i'm concise manner that
the Republicans had given the labor
classes just what they asked, while the
Democrats had ignored and insulted
these people.
Hon. NJ. ID. l.. Collester was the next
speaker. He reviewed in II passing way
what the Republican party had done for
the country; that il had not only saved
the union, but that every reform which
had been wrought in our government
for the past quarter of Il century hal
been gained through it, He also stated
what is n fact, that the Republican party
to-day is the only true political Organiza-
ton that IL friend To the laboring men
and farmers Mr.. Collester was cheered
nj frequent intervals.
Hon. Ira i. Shissler was next called
upon. Mr.. =. made several happy hits
which called out applause. lie urged
Republicans to stand by their cOlors,
and assured them that they had IN the
Republican candidate for Governor II
man who was not only entitled To the
unanimous support of the party, but one
who should command the support of all
good citizens.
Hon. T.. L. Freeman WAS the last to
address the meeting. Mr.. Freeman
carried his listeners back to the times of
Democratic government long years ago
when we were obliged to pay ~ per
cent interest OH bonds. He brought his
hearers mp step by step from those dark
days To the present and showed what
the Republican party had done For the
country, what it had done for labor and
all classes of citizens. He also read the
Indictment recently made by the grand
jury of Hennepin county against Ames
and his police men, which showed the
character of the man whom the Demo-
Gratis desire to foist upon the people of
Minnesota for Governor. He eulOgized
McGill, and urged the labOring men,
farmers and all others to stand by the
party that had stood by them.
The meeting then adjourned. The
club list now has enrolled about 800
members and new names are being con-
stantly added.
