Getting The Rent.

The plan of the rent strike proposed
by the United ireland newspaper, which
Is all the rage Iu the Green Isle, ia very
simple but novel in character. In al
most every instance in which IIc land
lord has refused TO grant reduction Of
rent, the tenants have quietly deposited
in the hands of a trustee ssch rents as
they think fair and reasonable. II the
landlord decides, on reconsiderinp the
matter, to accept these rents, they will
be paid to him by the trustee. If on
the other hand he attempts to evict the
tenants he will be paid nothing at all,
and these very rents will be ueed as funds
TO resist 'ae eviction proceedings. For
awhile the landlords fondly imagined
that the trustees could re compelled bv
law &" We up the rents entrusted TO
their Care. But the Attorney General
for Ireland has declared such q course
to be impracticable, and that the action
OF the Trustees is within the law. The
scenes at these rent collecting gatherings
are unexampled IN the history of Ireland.
The tenants gather around the cabin IN
which the selected trustees, accompa-
MED by the parish priest, are receiving
the money. Everything is conducted
as regularly as at the rent offices of the
estates from which the tenants come
but the tenants are animated, excited
and enthusiastic and the SURROUNDINGS
are rough. Printed receipts, filed in,
are given for every payment in place o.
the receipts OF the landlord, and after
the last payment is handed in, a few
words from the priests and trustees
bring The proceedings to a close and the
gathering disperses, all parties well
satisfied with their DAYS work. The
idea takes l!k' wild FIRE, and not alone
among the Nationalists. but even The
Orauge tenants are adopting il. The
tenants on the estates of the V:ceroy.

ed the plan. They rejected his offer of
abatement and rendered d smaller sum.
There Will have to be special laws passed
at the coming session of Parliament to
meet the emergency. else the Govern
ment will confess itself poweIless. Irish
ingenuity see ms match for all meas
ures OF British coercion, and there ia
generally characteristic bit of roll;ck-
ing humor about it.-Pittsb,trq Post.

EVER since the Act Of Assembly of
June, 1885, offering bounty for the
killing of hawks, owls, weasels, minks
and wildcats. wei into effect, much
complaint has been made by the county
authorities in many portions Of the
state in regard to the large amount of
money N the shape of premiums that
has been paid out by county TreasuTers
in compliance with the Act. For the
purpose OF eliciting the facts in regard
20 its operation, the Secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture addressed a
circular to the commissioners and treas
urer Of each county, asking for a state
ment Of their respective disbursements
since its passage. Their replies to the
Secretary show that about one hundred
Thousand dollars have been paid for the
destruction OF the animals named in the
act. Nearly all the commissioners and
traasurers favor a repeal of the Act, so
far as it applies to hawks and owls, and
some of them urge its entire removal
from the statute book.

THE second trial of ex-Alderman M
QuRde, of New York, for bribery, the
jury at the first trial having failed to
agree, was taken before Recorder Smyth,
of that city, on Monday of last week,
and up to the hour of adjournment on
last Tuesday evening eleUen jurors had
been accepted. The twelfth juror was
prOcnred on Wednesday. Tie case ex-
cites unusual interest, because upon the
verdict will depend the fate Of several
other aldermen who are under heavy

THE Chief Clerk Of the House at
Washington has classified the members
OF Congress who were elected N Novam-
Der, bot who will not take their seats
until the first Monday in next December,
as follows: Democrats, l68 Republi-
CANS, 152. and 4 INDEPENDENTS, with one
vacancy in Rhode Island to be filled,
most probably, by Republican. If the
fouI Independents divide, as they are
expected to do, equally between the two
s...as, the Democrats will have a major
ity of fourteen in a full House. One
hundred and Clnety-five Of the present
mo- bers have been returned to the next
House, which IS ten more than the num-
Der of old members in the present
Congress.

Is the case Of The National Soldiers
Homo against General B. +. Butler,
which was tried last week in the United
States Circuit Court. at Boston, the jury
returned a verdict for the plaintiff for
GIG. .537. 50. The action was brought to
recover funds of the Home which it was
alleged had been misappropriated by
Butler while Treasurer. 1t is said that
in his charge to the jury, the Judge gave
BENJAMIN a terrible hauling over the
coals. It wouldn't, however, produce
any greater effect upon Butler than a
scathlng philippe would upon the hard
ened cheek Of Bob Ingersoll. AS Batler
has been a wealthy man for many years
there must be soma explanation Of this
matter which was singularly withheld
at the trial. II may possibly be true, as
has often been charged, that Butler ap-
propriated TO his own use a considerable
number Of silver spoons while he was
Military Governor OF Louisiana, but so
fa1 as we know anything abou him, he
has never been charged with dishonesty
in his business relations with the world.
He intends taking an appeal from the
verdict.

SEVERAL prominent members OF
Congress have given the assurance that
a vigorous effort will be made this win
tel to pass bill for the redemption of
the trade dollar. All similar efforts
made IN previous Congresses have failed
because it was alleged that the bulk of
this coin is held by spectators. This
is no doubt true, but as 1t has been four
or Eve years since brokers ano others
Bought up the dollars at about S5 cents
and withdrew them from circulation, If
the government should now redeem
them the spectators would only make
about fifteen per cent. on their invest
Ilent, which has stood for four years.
Under these circumstances the objection
to the passage of I'LL for their redemp-
tiou on the ground that it would be in
she interest of spectators no longer has
much force, and there would seem to be
no sound reason why Congress should
any longer postpone legislation on the
subject.

In view of our recent experience with

In view of our recent experience with
earthquakes, an article by Prof J. w.
Powell, Director of the United States
Geological Survey, in which he treats of
the causes of earthquakes, is of much
interest. The ait.Gle, while 10 aIludes to
the several theories accepted upon this
question, naturally places most reliance
upon :he one which regards the phenom-
eEOn from geological point of view
Mr.. Powell's article is prepared in a
style adapted 10 the com prehension of
non-scientifc readers, and reflects The
opinions of scientific mel of the present
day. Prof. Powell believes all pheEom-
ena of earthquakes explainab!e by the
theory that ,he crust of the earth rests on
a semi fluid mass, and that the shaking,
movements, fiexures and displacements
of the comparatively thin outer shell are
the result of the cooling of the inner
mass and the consequent displacement of
the outer surface. The article is one Of
the most luminous as we'll as the ablest
resume Of what we know on the subject,
and as sIch is of much more than ordin-
airy interest.
