FIVE hundred delegates attended the
Convention of the Irish National
League of Great Britain held at Liver
pool last Saturday. Among those
present were T. P. O'Connor, Joseph
Biggar and William O'Brien. The at
tendance was double that of the annual
meeting in 1885. President O'Connor
said he never before had such faith in
the success of the Leagues cause as he
had now. ireland was more determined
and united than ever, and it's hopes
higher in the minds of the people.
After lengthy discussion, resolutions
were adopted expressing gratitude to
Mr.. Gladstone, to America, and to Aus
tralia for their generous support de-
claring continued confidence in Mr.
Parnells leadership, and pledging sup
port to the Irish people on resisting evic-
tion, by the organization of subscrip-
tions to assist the evicted. Mr.. O'Con-
nor, president; Mr. Biggar, vice-presi-
dent Mr.. O'Kelly, treasurer Messrs.
Redmond, Justin Mccarthy, Sexton,
Healy, and Brady, secretaries, were re-
elected. Cardiff was chosen as the
scene for the convention next year.

His friends have urged him to apply for

an oppressed people. That people and
their sympathizers have gratitude and
they will not see him suffer. Let a

of the United States and Canada, who

CRIME IN IRELAND.

The Irish World, replying to all article
in the London Times on crime in LIE
land, illustrates its argument with the
following interesting statistics: "But
how is it with England ? Let her
own statistics answer. The number of
arrests for drunkenness and disorderly
conduct there rose from 50, 1856 in 1861 10
1872, ,274 in 1884 The increase Of popula-
tion would account for only los, 900
cases of this kind, and tbs balance must,
therefore, be attributed to the spread Of
demoralizing habits. In 1851 the mum
Der Of petitions eor divorce filed in Eng
land amounted to 263, while in 1884
there were 703 such petitions, more than
double the proportion Of the first named
year. Of attempts at suicide there were
,i:'33 ii3'33 cases reported in 1861, while the
number in 1884 was 3,2i2, more than
double the former number, while the i'll
crease in population was only one-third.
With regard to crimes OF a revolving
character, the records Of the London
and provincial courts show that not
only has there been ali extraordinary in
crease in the number of such offences
but that the perpetrators in a large pro-
portion of cases belong to the ranks of
England's upper classes and of her
aristCcracy.''

THE RESULT.

After weeks suspense the official
vote Of the State Of Minnesota has been
finally announced. There were 2O9,32S
votes cast, Of which A. r. McGin re-
ceived 1O5, ,8O5 and A. A. Ames lo3,523,
thus electing the Republican candidate
by the paltry majority Of 1882. Even IN
defe st the Democracy can well. fee
proud of the result. In 1884 James 4
Blaine, the Republican candidate Tor
the Presidency, carried the State by
something over Al 900 majority, and in
1885, after most thorough canvass OF
almost every village and hamlet within
it's borders by that party, they have
barely escaped an overwhelming defeat.
a. r. McGill can we'll and rightly ac-
credit his success to one Of those unfor-
tunate circumstances that now and
then befall great party. Human ma
ture in our mind, is about the same in
all parties. You can always find an ele-
ment in any of them ready to jeopardize
it's interests for success. Thus it was on
the night of November l. There is
wide diversity of opinion now as to who
precipitated the shameful struggle that
occurred on one Of our most principal
tho1oughfares upon that night 1t is
claimed on the one hand that men in
the ranks of the Republican procession
began the outrageous proceedings, and
on the other that persons outside Che
ranks were the aggressors; but where
to place the direct blame will perhaps
always remain unsolved. The Re
publican party was not in power i'll
Minneapolis, Mayor Arnes was absent,
unfortunately, from the city on the
night Of November l, and therefore the
blame, whether right OF wrong, could
be easily attached to the party who had
control of the eity's destinies. ALI this
was done quickly and with marvellous
effect; the. Republican press by a sys~
tenn of falsehood, added fuel to the
fame OH tine morning OF election, the
prejudices of the people were appealed
to without cause and at time when the
facts--if to be secured at all-would be
too late to refute the. charges and in
situations made. 1t a was a most cow
ardly and uncalled for procedure On
the part Of the opponents Of the Demo.
cratic candidate, but we believe it WAS
the great reasoll--and almost the sole
reason--for his defeat for the Governor
ship OF Minnesota. The methods prac~
ticed by The Republican party in the re-
cent election will only go further to
strengthen the Democratic party in this
city and State, and the final and inevi-
table result must be the redemption Of
Minnesota from misgovernment and
misrule.

THE CHICAGO STRIKE.

The strike at the Chicago stock
yards is serious affair to contemplate
viewed in any light. Over $4,000 meu
are out of employment, and it is safe to
say that 10000 persons more are de-
pendant upon these men for the neces~
saries Of life. The more the matter is
considered the more desirable it would
seem that Congress should enact some
law which would cover matters Of this
description. If the employers are the
victims of Il mjsconstruction Of the
agreement arrived at some time age
with their employees, why not settle the
matter now and foyeverInOre by the
most reasonable course-that Of arbi--
tration. We believe the employees
would readily agree to this mode OF
settling tile difficulty, and it would
certainly be much better taan to resort
to the measures that must inevitably
be the outcome of this gigantic strike.

DIR. AUBREY, Of London, we'll
known journalist aud speaker, who was
the Gladstone candidate for North
Hackney in July last, entertained Ri
audience at the Chicago Union League
Club last Sunday night by a Familiar
Talk About William A. Gladstone.
His characteristics, Habits, PERSONAL
ties and Career Dr. Aubrey declared
Gladstone was the embodiment and
personifcation Of what the people re-
garded as the highest style Of patriot
ism and love for humanity, and Of a de-
sire to see men. not only i'll England,
but elsewhere, advance along the high
road toward contentment, peace and
true enjoyment. The speaker said
Gladstone was now as strong and
healthy as ordinary men were at 10 or
SO, and it was not at all improbable
that he might be spared to witness the
triumph of the policy he had laid down
with regard to Ireland.

THE TORY POLICY.

Ii is "a somewhat remarkable circuua-
stance that at no Ginle since Lord Sails
bur; has become Prime Minister of
England has that ast1lte politician said
anything that would in any way con-
yey to the public What policy he in
tends to pursue towards Ireland. This
Is the more remarkable fact inasmuch
as Lord Randolph Churchill whenever
The opportunity offers itself presents a.
glowing picture of what the Tory Gov
eminent is going to do towards the
aD1elioration Of tbe Irish people. II
was confidently expected that the
Prime Minister would declare himself
upon the subject at the Lord Mayors
banquet last Tuesday night, but, on the
contrary, we are left just as much in
the dark as ever. He did not even go
so far as to say which one Of the va
iious policies pIopounded by the young
leader would be most probably adopted
by his Government. Lord Randolph is
certainly q very prolific propagandist,
but the great difficulty is to tellWhether
he has a sufficient following Of the
members who compose his party,to Ell
force any Of the opinions propag@ted by
him. 1t is generally believed that
Churchill has purpose in throwing
out these opinions: and tnat is to see
which one Will mos5 likely meet with
popular favor. The contest between
the two speeches he delivered some four
weeks ago would one to this belief.
However, the time is now drawing
mean when the Tories will have to fix
on some definite policy. and ,heir late
actions would indicate at least that
they intend to meet the Irish people
half way, and WE would not be much
surprised if they came to satisfactory
terms, with Mr. lruell and his noble
and Of followers.

THE ''rHUNDERER" CALLS FOR WAR

Indignity after ;ndigniJy is being
heaped upon the head OF England. The
action of the Russian Government the
past week in boldly defying England is
another evidence OF the decline Of the
British Empire. But England wants
peace: and that at any price. If it was
a matter of only fighting a couple hun
dred or so half,sarved Arabs, the
proud" old British Lion would assert
his honor and dignity, but when it
comes to fighting irst-class European
power, she will not 'n1aterialize" to any
great extent The London Times is the
only one Of the English papers that has
courage enough left to CALL for war.
The British Government, we venture to
state, will see within six months her
error in ruling the Irish people 80 tyran.
nically in the past Instead OF having
friends in her own household at this
critical time she has enemies. He1
Irish regiments will go into battle very
reluctantly, knowing that they leave be-
hind them starving relatives and
friends--victims of despotic British
rule. Already Russia has 100000 sol.
diers on the way to Bulgaria, and be.
fore many days the world need not be
surprised to hear that the Eastern prob
lem is about to be solved by the sword.
Then England will either have to ac
knowledge that her boasted power is
purely mythical or fight, and then she
may find it necessary to grant Ireland
even more than Home Rule. 0

West Belfast, the seat for which has

AT last we are to have an American
Peerage, says the Boston Pilot. thanks
to the industry of MIR. E. V. Vermont,
who has compiled list Of the Ameri-
can families living here before the year
1900, whose members were entitled to
the use of crests and coats-of-aEms.
Their number is 1872. Mr.. Vermont,
whom we have never heard Of before,
assures the world that the descendants
Of those families, and they alone among
the children OF the early settlers, enjoy
that precious right. The immortal 1872
names are chiefly remarkable for the
absence among them of the preiixes
which indicate noble birth in the Brit
ish islands. There is not a single sO,"
"Mac." or De- in the wholelot but,
instead, we have such patronymlcs az
Belcher, Chute, Coffin, Dodge, Drake
and Dummer. Giles and Stokes, Smith
and Brown are among the select; as
are also, Gookjn, Kip, Leggett, Pell,
Phelps, Popham and Tuttle-worthy
names, every one of them, but hardly
suggestive of the Crusades and baron
ial halls. Dear old Artemus Ward
used to say that the names Of places in

TWAS much interested in the appear
ance of Mr.. Gladstone as he arose to
speak, says Hon Seth Low, in ths
Brooklyn Magazine for November. A
rather small, worn man, he seemed from
the visitors gallery, whose thin, gray
hair betokened age, but whose active
movement as he rose to his feet indi-
Gated abundant vigor. With a perfectly
quiet manner, but with now and then q
graceful gesture, his words came out i'll
smoothly flowing sentences, directly to
the point. At times with q touch Of
irony, and often with a quiet hunlor
which never failed Of it's mark, lie
showed himself the master of parlia-
mentary fence which all men know him
to be- When he sat down il WAS eyi-
dent there was nothing left of the mo-
tion. Later on in the spring, as this
fight waxed harder and heavier against
him, he displayed with all the fire of
youth those wonderful qualities which
have made him, even to his contempt
raries, marvel. Men say he never
fights better than when the battle is
desperate. With courage born Of the
most complete conviction, that stopped
at no risk and no labor, with an alert
ness that took in the whole field, with
an eloquence that dazzled even his ene-
mics, like a very Ceur de Lion, he
fought almost single-handed the un-
equal fight. At distance looking at
him it would seem wholly beyond his
physical powers Close at hand his face
face is marked, indeed, with the lines
and wrinkles of many campaigns, and
you see before you still an old man, but
you see also what at a distance you
miss, that the lines are the lines of en-
durance and hardy strength more than
of weakness and old age.

ENGLAND In EGYPT,
misrule

A. recent cableg1a1n from Paris con-
tains the announcement that III. Wad-
dington, French ambassador to Eng
land, has conveyed to Lord Salisbury,
the British Prime Minister, the opinion
Of France that England would be we'll
advised if she would take the initiative
and fix a date for the evacuation Of
Egypt. Although the Eepublique Fran
caise says that this is in the interest Of
cordial relations between France and
England, any one who is conversant
with the language Of diplomacy will r1n"
derstand that this means England has
either to evacuate Egypt Immediately
or France will assist her to do so, The
position the old British Lion who is
"proud Of his conquered might is thus
placed in by this order is a very hunili-'
ating one, indeed. For -four years she
has trampled the laws Of the Egyptians
under her feet she has kept a vast
army in the country to browbeat aud
bulldoze the people into doing whatever
she felt so inclined British officers have
caused Egyptian soldiers to be brought
before them and upon the slightest pre-:
text sentenced to the lash and even TO
death and in fact the law-ridden chill
dren of the Pharaohs have had to sub
init to every indignity within the power
and command of the British officers,
III the face of all these facts LORD Sails
bury had the audacity to stand up last
Tuesday night at the Lord Mayor
of London's banquet and coolly
assert that England could not
leave Egypt until that country was free
from foreign oppression. To further il
lustrate the hypocrisy Of Lord Sails
bury's remarks we might refer to the
fact that some two years an expedition
was formed to s'free Gordon" vino was
imdrisoned in Khartoum by the Slate
lamented'' Ell AIahdi and his followers.
Some ten thousand British soldiers, as
many more Egyptian soldiers, who were
forced to do so by the British Govern
ment, and about q thousand African
Kroomen and Canadian Voyageurs
composed the expedition. They did not
succeed in freeing Gordon" but they
managed to destroy the crops of the na-
tives living along the banks Of the Nile,
and in some instances they deliberately
murdered the poor inoffensive people
without proyoeation. We venture to
say that many years will elapse before
the missionaries will succeed i'll erasing
the impression that the Egyptians, NJ
bians and soudanese have got Of Chris
tianity The British officers mildly re-
proved the soldiers for their work OF ra-
pine and murder, and the British states
men smiled at the officers. Sir Garnet
Wolseley rode up and down the banks
of the Nile on camel: Sir Charles
Beresford lay in his tent and compelled
a native to fan the flies of him, and it is
asserted on good authority that the few
Canadian officers who accompanied the
expedition, with one exception (the late
Col. Kennedy of Winnipeg) .sput on
frills'' Just the same as their sblarsted' =
