The Tories certainly can get very little
consolation out of the convention of the
American branch of the Land League at
Chicago. The proceedings were character
lied by moderation and good sense through
out. There was faction at the meeting
disposed to quarrel with Mr.. Parnells S
method as too slew, but it was small and un-
fuential. 1t could talk and did talk, but it
was not strong enough to impress any of its
views upon the official action of the conven-
ton. 1t would have been cause for deep
regret on the part of every sincere friend of
Ireland if the convention had thrown Mr..
Parncll overheard, and justified and encour-
aged resort to lawless and violent measures.
Such course could not have failed to set
back the cause of home rule many years,
and it certainly must have rendered luke
warm the English advocates of that meas
ure. 1t is perhaps not surprising in view of
the recent defeat of Mr.. Gladstone's bill
that some of the more impetuous of Irish
leaders should grow impatient and chafe
little at Mr.. Parnell's refusal to change his
method or to make any concessions to their
views. But it must be borne in mind that
though Mr.. Parnell has failed to reach the
goal of Irish hope he has accomplished
vastly more in a shorter space of time than
any other Irish agitator Two Years ago
Mr. Gladstone's bill would have obtained
very few votes in Parliament besides what
the Nationalist members could giveit. A few
months ago it only lacked forty votes Of
majority. Two years ago such proposition
submitted to popular vote in England
would have been buried A few weeks ago
it came within few thousand votes of
popular majority. These wonderful
changes have been wrought by peaceful
agitation conceived and conducted by Mr.
Parnell. The record is an exceedingly bril-
liant one

If the English should follow the advice of
the London Times and prosecute the Irish
delegates for treason on their return from
Chicago, there would be likely to be COM

strengthened the Irish cause and been a
source of disappointment to the coercionists

The purchase of the yacht Yosemite by
the Canadian government has made great
stir among the Bluenoses. Supporters of the
present government conted that the new
cruiser is jewel, and that they are extreme
ly lucky to get so good vessel for the small
sum of 10000. The opposition papers, on
the other hand are unsparing in their con-
demnations of the craft. The Halifax Chron-
icle goes so fan as to intimate that the peo-
pie have been deceived by jugglery. They
say on the authority of an old sea captain,
that the Few cruiser, instead of being the
valuable yacht represented, is really an un-
seaworthy craft which was bought by the
government of Antigua three years ago, but
afterwards laid up as useless because she
nearly capszed on her first trip. The Blue
nose captain says he saw her at Antigua and
thought of buying her for junk; and that
she was finally sold for seven thousand dol
lars and taken to New York. There she
was cleaned up he says, and admitted to the
New York yacht squadron. He cannot
affirm positively that the vessel just bought
and the old hulk seen at Antigua are the
same; but he thinks that they are. While
this story sounds very much like sailors
yarn, it is causing great commotion at

We, the undersigned, Charles II. Brewer, and
Emily J. Brewer, wife of said Charles H., residing
at No; 92 Paris St, in said Portland believing tito
be but an act of justice, and in gratitude to DR..
f. E. Baxter, desire to make public the following
facts. Our daughter Lillian Brewer, now about
eighteen years OF age suffered from her birth with
a scrOful0uS affection of the throat and tongue,
causing her for large part of her life the most in
credible suffering; her tongue being at one time
so swollen as to measure inches in circumference
outside of her lips. Many eminent physicians and
surgeons, both in Portland and in Massachusetts
pronounced her case incurable; others said that
help was possible they thought, but none was ever
rendered her until Dr. Baxter came to this city in
the fall of 1884 and our daughter became one of
his first patients in this city. By his skill she is
nowlcured, ,and it is within our personal knowledge
that he has wrought other most remarkable cures
and we shall be pleased to give all information to
parents and others who have children or friends
Any question asked of us by letter will
be promptly answered We are grateful to the
man who cured our suffering child, and we desire
that others may have the advantage of the skill
that did so much for us and ours.

BABIES.

Remember that with feeble infants who do not
thrive on their mothers milk or the best prepared
foods in the market, WE REQUEST NO CHANGE
OF FOOD, but add or more drops four times
daily of Murdock's Liquid Food and you will find
that their lost or needed vitality will be restored
to them in less than thirty days.
Not case of Cholera Infantum known where
Murdock'S Liquid Food has been used, nor death
from Cholera 1nfantum where it has been pre-
scribed by physician.
The question often asked-how does Murdock's
les? We refer to the State Inspector of Foods for
Massachusetts in his annual report for 1886.
Murdock's Liquid Food contains 14.10 per cent.
of albumen; all the other foods do not contain
any, Common food does not contain over one per
cent that is available.
1t contains less organic matter than common
food, and common food contains 1856; the other
preparations from 22.62 to 60.50 per cent
1t contains 0.42 of ash, which is indigeStible
matter. The others contain from $50 to 23.74
per cent.
En alcoholic extracts 1.95. The other prep
arations are all TONICS, as they contain from
2l,13 to Sc. IS per cent.
These facts show why Murdock's Liquid Food
excels all other foods and preparations in making
new blood and cleansing the system of disease
A tablespoonful four times day will make 10
rounds new blood monthly, and the system con-
iains "a to % pounds.

Mr. Bayard, it is reported, in his desire to
set himself in better light before the coun-

headlong course in the Cutting case on Con-
sui Brigham. This will not do. The consul
may rlghtfully bear part of the response
bility on account of his blunders and ineffic-
lency; but these do not excuse the head of
the State Department for not making due
inquiries to learn the facts before taking
action. Besides, will it not be rather awk-
ward for Mr.. Bayard to explain Tor explain
away his dispatch of July 22d to Mr.. Brig
ham, warmly praising the justice of the con-
sul's action and the ability he had shown?
