The organization Of law and order
leagues has been thought of as pre-
ventative OF the growth Of laWlessness.
Leagues exist i'll most of the large
cities and produce the bestresul S. The
secretary OF the most successful OF
those leagues. the Que organized in
Chicago, has done us the honor TO visit
our city and viii explain to you the
purpose and the methods pursued. A
league viii be organized in st. Paul,
and we bespeak for it your kind encour-

Mr.. Andrew Paxton and DR. Dana fol-
lowed in stirring speeches, after which
Bishop ireland announced that i'm
mediate steps would be taken to form
a law and order league, and in due
time all would be called on to aid in the
work Mr. Paxton callea for a rising
vote of those fayoring a league and

Faugh a BallaghI

The Judge metaphOrlcauf puts on Jne
s5ixh hat and the various badges ap-
f}fopriate to the irish day, wears a
sprig Of green at the top coat-button
sends out q deCorous but an earnest
whoop, and starts in with the process
sion.
It should be the most live and Joyous
procession the 18th OF March ever saw.
There is every prospect the cause OF
Ireland will be advanced just as tar as
Mr.. Gladstone can safely permit that
progress, and if this does not mean
home rule III its larger sense 1t VIII at
least be the beginning OF that result.
The Irish skies are bright, and II the
enemies Of IreIand-men like the
Rossa, who apparently wish TO preserve
the old situation as q means to the
stuffing their pockets will preserve the
silence that becomes them SO we'll there
will illuminate not only Ireland but
the cause of freedom the world over.
While the procession is moving, the
boys are shouting and the bands are
PLAYING, the Judge presents its com
pliments to the cause and its represen-
tatives, and lifts high the banner winch
shows Parnell SIS the modern Patrick.
The good saint is boxing the snake OF
nonresident iandlordism and proposes
directly to cast it into the sea. OF all
the reptiles that Ireland ever saw the
one with the most poisonous bite IS the
one in question. 1t has done its best TO
murder Irish ambition Ii has driven
helpless, poverty stricken women TO
the sacrifice of that for which good
women most want to live. 1t has
turned deserving families from novels
into highways. It has provoked assas-
sination and fostered poverty and
crime.
The Irishman has come to look upon
any part of the world rather than
Ireland as his home. He is everywhere
and accustons himself with marvellous
rapiditY to any locality. lie helps to
fight the battles of all nations. He
sings the songs and dances the dances
of the various countries which have
adopted him as if he were born to them.
He fills our Offices. He manages our
politics. Restless, keen, bright, lively,
lovab1e, unserupulous along with other
men and with an eye always open to
the main chance, he ought to have his
own nation, as other men have theirs;
though ne is sure TO prosper anywhere
with half the opportunity 10 that end
that other men have. Give him his
own. Mr.. John Bull, and do it as quick
as possible.-The Judge.
Strange as It may read. our enemies
are our best friends. They give US
profitable employment and afford the
most constant opportunities OF merit,
wheu our time would otherwise hang
IistlessIy on our hands. Self conquest

WHEN the Evening Paper says that
the republicans of Bexar county never
committed the blunder of nominating
democrats for county offices it reminds
one very forcibly of the bishop in his
confsb with the dissenting parson. The
bishop, who was also lord temporal as
well as lord spiritual, was uttering q
volley Of oaths when he was rebuked by
the dissenting parsOn who expressed
himself shocked at hearing a clergyman
swear. IL do not swear as bishop you
fool" retorted the bishop but as a
lord" And when the devil gets your
lordship what will become of the
bishop ?" enquired the parson. 1t is not
as republicans but as fusionists that re-
publicans nominate democrats in Bexar
county, but when the devil of disorgani-
zatIon gets the fusion what becomes Of
the republican

AT each of these elections since 1873
Fred Bader (republican) has been elected
constable.
From the showing above made these
facts stand clearly revealed. The repub
licans OF BeXar county, by fusion since
1873, have suffered the party to become
thoroughly demOralized. The assertion
that fusion helps to elect republicans to
office Is false one, not borne out by the
facts. The plea that it purifies politics
and brings forward the best men for
office is delusiOn and snare. The
fusion convention is the last resort OF
the disappointed Oflice-seeker, who,
failing a nomination in his own party,
or defeated as regular candidate at the
polls, seeks the assistance Of his personal
friends and the other party to give him
a place denied him by his own political
party in regular convention assembled.
The democrats have ever perpetuated
their organization, and are reaping the
benefits of their consistent political
course in controlling Bexar county to-
day-a thing they could not do had the
republicans of this county been as true
to their principles as the democracy
have been to their colOrs. No political
party upon which Gods sun ever shone
could stand the disintegrations of such
course as has been pursued by the re-
publican party in BeXar county since
1873. To continue that course is sui
cidal, and the man who advices 1t is no
friend TO republicanism. no matter what
pretensions to party fealty he may put
forth.
