ruch truth;
NO city can hcpe te prosper
unless ts4e spirit of progress and
cooperation Possesses her citi-
zens. individual successes aggre-
gated make public prosperity, but
individual success IS limited by
BE degree of pubic spirit and
cooperation that characterize a
community.
Second in i'm
portanee to the reputation
of community is the pub
lie prosperity, which can be
greatly augmented by harmony
and union III action among its
members. Differences Of opinion
prevail wherever men collect, but
an expression Of the opinion of
the majority should stop all bick-
erings and the hour for action
should find q united people work
ing to advance the public veal.
"Thele is strength in members;
they carry moral weight. One
member Of a community could
not effect great reform, but hun
dreds could concentrate their en-
ergies and accomplish an almost
impossible task. The great ca
bIes that support the enormous
weight Of Brooklyn bridge are
composed Of many individual

W lth any needed enterprise
one man would, perhaps, be una.

THE Belfast riot recalls very forcibly
a passage in Parnell's great speech on

the Irish Professionals: eve cannot, +"
he said, ''give away any portion of the

estants. We admit their ability and
influence. We cannot admit that
there is single one of them too good
to take part in the work. We admit
that q small proportion fear the treat
ment they may receive at the hands of
an Irish Parliament. But not theirs,
the shame and disgrace of fears like
those. Rather do the shame and the
disgrace belong to those lords and gen.
tlemen pertaining to English political
parties who for the selfish interests of
those English parties seek to rekin-
die the almost expiring embers of
political and religious rancor."

ing the burdens imposed by his crazy
extravagances and the continual en-
barrassments inflicted on the kingdom
through his abuse of power, the senti-
ment of loyalty to the kingis too firm

that King David Kalakaua wants to
sell his thirteen Hawaiian Islands in
cludinga big volcano and many lepers,
to a European syndicate for $1O,OOO,-
900. AS eight of the islands are not
inhabited this seems to be pretty
stiff price. Moreover, the government
spends about 100000 year more
than it receives and there is probably
something of pinch financial. We
do not want the islands, but if any
European government intends to get
control of them for a naval station,
the subject must become one for seri-
GUS consideration.

correction, under sentence for larceny,
was shot while attempting to escape,
yesterday. His time would have ex-
pired in about q month, and he was
assigned to yard work and had the
liberty of the yard. As the last gate
was opened to allow team to pass
out, Wenland dashed through, down
the hill and towards the railroad
track. Edward Barnes, the guard on
that part of the wall, gave the alarm
and called to the man to stop, threat
ening to shoot. Wenland paid no at
tention to this and the guard fired
over his head, but he still kept on
The guard reloaded, and when Wen
land was fully seventy-fve rods away
he again fired, this time at Wenland,
hitting him in the back. The wound
ed man was conveyed to the prison
hospital. There is slight hope of his
recovery.

cold lead arguments in case that individual
objected to being taken in. Meanwhile
Sullivan quietly slipped away, to New

q time, as Meehan declares the next time
they meet he will provoke the slugger and
then shoot him sin selfdefense."
