How to Sustain Parneil and Gladston n

How TO Sustain Parnell and Gladstone.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-Mr. L. W. Fox,
PRESIDENT AND MANAGER NATIONAL REPUBLI-
CAN PUBLISHING COMPANY-Sir: The necessity
Of raising funds to sustain Messrs. Parnell and
Gladstone in the great battle about TO be waged
for home rule for Ireland must be apparent to
all friends of the cause, but the best method of
raising fund commensurate with the neces-
stiles of the occasion is not so apparent or easy
OF solution.
Since the defeat of Mr.. Gladstone home rule
bill have given the subject much anxious
thought, and have concluded that the most
speedy and directway OF appealing TO Ireland's
friends TO help the cause Is through the public
press. Therefore, as the representative of the
Irish National League OF America for the Dis
trict Of Columbia, respectfully request that
you, the well-known, consistent friend, not
alone OF Irish freedom. but of liberty the world
over, do consent to receive at the office Of the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN whatever amounts the
generous liberty.loving public may see fit to
give for so just cause.
As there are 1903 constituencies In Irelan I,
each one of which will elect member of par
lament, and as Messrs Gladstone and Parnell
are determined TO contest every constituency,
and as the cost OF each contest is about $500,
money will be required to win the same num-
Der of seats the Parnellites hold in the present
parliament namely, eighty.six.
Ifa less number should be returned through
lack Of necessary material support, 1t would be
disgrace to Irishmen In the United States as
well as to tho friends OF freedom here and else.

men as Hon. Samuel ]. Randall, of Pennsyl-
yania, and Hon, James G. Blaine, Of Maine are
Offering helping hand, II Is not becoming Of
Irishmen or the sons of Irishmen TO sit idly by
and do nothing for the Land that gave them or
their fathers birth,
Thanking you and through you the staff OF
the REPUBLICAN for many acts of kindness and
generosity 10 myself and TO the cause in the
past, earnestly beg that you accept the trust
reposed in you and thus merit the esteem and
gratitude, not only of the Irish race throughout
the world, but also Of the friends OF rational
liberty Of every raco and cline. Very truly,
your friend THOMAS II. WALSH,
District member Irish National League,

ALONG with procuring a bill for the ap-
pointment of three ladies to compile statis-
tics for the labor bureau, Mrs. Charlotte
Smith, president Of the Womau's League,
and Mr.. O'Neill, chairman of the labor
committee, succeeded yesterday in passing a
bill for the increase of pay Of al charDon,en
IN The country employed IN public Offices from
S15 to $50 month, with the allowance of
thirty days. vacation in each year. The
Woman's League is under serious obllga-
tions to Mrs. Smith, and every member OF
that League is warm admirer Of the tire
less lady who has done so much for her
association and her sex. Mrs. Smith has
tenacity of purpose and courage enough to
fight, in a good cause, Bismarck, the
Prussian army, ani all the nihlllsts in
Russia and Chicago,

After more than twelve months OF indie
fatlgable labor and trouble, the Womln's
League, under the direction OF Mrs Char
lotte Smith, has at last succeeded In melt.
ing the obdurate heart Of Congress. Yes
terday afternoon Gen. Weaver, OF Iowa,
who, with Mr.. Daniel, had been appointed
by the chairman Of the labor committee TO
inquire into certain alleged grievances con-
nected with the labor bureau, introduced
an amendment to the legislative bill before
the House to the effect that OF the twelve
agents appointed 10 compile statistics for
the bureau Of labor, three shall, for the
future, be women at salary OF 81, 400 per
annup The amendment was carried with
out opposition, and the REPUBLICAN, which
first took up the great cause which has been
brought to so successful an issue by Mrs.
Smith, desires to congratulate that lady on
the bene6cient work she has been enabled
TO accomplish on behalf OF her sex. Mrs
Smith has known for a long time that only
women can understand the wants of women,
and II is merely justice to the army OF fe.
male laborers in this country that their
wants should be made known to the public
by those who are most capable OF compre-
hending their difficulties and sympathizlng
with their struggles. Mr.. o'Neili, Mr.
Daniel, and Gen. Weaver deserve, aud they
shall receive, the thanks Of all women who

the results Of the. Eads plan or ietty sys-
TEN, the merits Of an unsuccessful and
totally different one adopted by the com
mission in 1888, on the theory that II the
caving bends arc held, the points will re-
ceive deposits, aud In this way contraction
will be produced without using the con.
traction works.
In the commissions last report II made
an attempt to prove, by reference to its
minutes that It's revetment plan was ap.
proved by the entire commission In 1880,
and that the revetment works were then
estimated to cost four times as much as the
contraction works. Capt. Eads immeli-
ately published a letter denying absolutely
that he ever favored the rovotment Of the
banks, or ever believed It would be ncces-
sary to do so after the high-water channel
shall have been made approximately uni
form in width; and he proved conclusively
by the minutes of the meetings that when
ever any. proposition was made to put in the
report Of 1850, a sentence conveying the
idea that bank protection was an important
feature Of the plan, he had It either wholly
omitted by vote, or so modified as to con-
vey the idea Of its subordination TO the
works Of contraction. The italicized por-
tlon Of Gen. Glllmore's proposition, above
quoted, proves that he then entertained the
same view.

REV. THOMAS FRANCIS HENDRIcKES,
bishop Of the Roman Catholic diocese OF
Providence, r. l., who died at that city last
week, was an ornament TO his church and
his adopted country. Born in Kilkenny,
Ireland, he was ordained by Bishop o'Rellly,
Of the diocese Of Hartford, and was per-
suaded by that gentleman, during visit to
Ireland, to come to the United States. DR..
Hendricken was deeply interested in edu-
cation and an enthusiastic worker for his
church. Sipce his conservation as bishop
Of Providence In 1872 he succeeded in
doubling the number of priests and par
ishes In his diocese. During twenty-four
years Of his ministry he bought aud paid
for estates valued at upward of $l,000,0OO.
The crowning effort Of his life was the
erection OF the splendid cathedral at Provl-
dence, now nearly completed, at cost Of
about $500,000, without one cent of debt.
Probably the first service held In this fine
ediilce will be the high mass held over his
remains. The true tribute to so great aud
good man is that though he rests from
his labors "his works do follow him."
