Another Victim of tho Rio Dis

PORTAGE, Wis, Nov. 7.-The long

mains OF the Rio railway wreck contin-
ues to drag along. Public interest has
not in the least abated, and the morgue

Over thirty witnesses have already been
examined, and from the testimony pre-
sented it would be difficult to determine
what the verdict Of the six men. good
and true. will be. An adjournment was
taken Yesterday, bnt proceedings will be
resumed at O'Clock Monday afternoon
The reason of the adjournmsnt was
that the testimony Of important wit.

American sympathy for Ireland.

If it shall ap ear, az now seems likely
that the Salisbury government has fully de-
termined on policy OF coercion, it may be
expected that the agitation in favor of Ire
land will be renewed on an extensive scale
in this country. While there is on the part
of the people of the United States, and nat
urally, too. strong feeling OF sympathy with
the Irish people in the contest in W hich they
engaged for better government, there are one
or two points which ought To be borne in
mind The United States has no quarrel
with Great Britain, nor do the people OF the
United States favor the political separation
Of Great Britain and ireland and the estab-
lishment of the latter as an independent ma
ton. Such political separation is doubtless
the dream OF some Irishmen, but it is not the
wish of either the government or people of
the United States. The sympathy of the
people Is with Ireland in her attempt to &C.
cure for herself good government an in
tegral part of the British Empire, so long as
this attempt is confined to constitutional
methods Bloodshed, violence and murder
should fnd no countenance this side the At
lantc, and though the provocstion be great
Ireland will do herself the beat service BY
demonstrating her right to home rule by
patience, forbearance and self restraint
Whatever sympathy or material aid we as a
people have to give, should be given to pro-
mote and make effective such constitutional
methods as have been adopted under the lead
ership OF Mr.. Parnel. The temptation to
abandon them may be grear. but when the
large real gain tor Ireland which has been
made during the last two years is to be multi
fed, that temptation must be resisted, not on
ly in Ireland. but by Irish sympathizers in
America - Boston Trdrelier.
