The BELFAST RIOTS.

Michael Davitt, the Irish agitator, who has
just arrived in this country, lays the blame
of the sanguinary riots now going on in Bel
fast, Ireland, to the Orangemen, whom he
calls fanatics The Protestant clergy OF
Ulster, he thinks greatly to blame for con-
tinually preaching to the artisan Orange
men in the cities that the Pope is coming to
rule in Ireland and perhaps reside in Belfast
if Parnell succeeds in getting an Irish Par
lament; while the rural Orangemen are
kept in state of panic by the dismal proph-
ccies that the Catholic farmers whose ances-
tors have been despoiled and driven to the
mountains in the turmoils of the past, will
come down and take the rich lands from the
Protestant occupants. If such teachings are
believed, it is no wonder that the Orange
men of Belfast are very bitter, and there is
COED reason to suppose that they are largely
to blame for the present troubles. But the
accounts of the riots show very bad blood on
both sides. When two mobs retire to the
fields and have battle, out of reach of the
police, neither side can be very much the ag-
gressors. The trouble in Belfast seems to be
that the rougher elements in both Protestant
and Catholic parties had rather fight than
not. 1t is to the credit of the Irish leaders,
however, that they have preached modera-

THINGS TO Be REMEMBERED,

1t should be kept before the farmers of
Maine that very large majority of the DEM
ocratic House voted for bill which, had it
passed, would have placed them in direct
competition with the Canadians across the
border in many of the staple products of
their farms. 1t should be kept before the
farmers that this bill was defeated mainly
by Republican votes.
1t should be kept before the fishermen OF
Maine that the Morrison bill which neatly
all the Democrats voted for would have
opened American markets to Canadian fish
ermen free of duty, and thus have given the
latter all the privileges they enjoyed under
the Treaty of Washington, without even the
poor return to our fishermen of the privilege
of fishing within the three mile limit 1t
should be borne in mind that this killing
blow at our fishing industry was averted by
Republican votes.
1t should be remembered by the laboring
men, who work in the woods in the winter
and saw mills in summer, that had the Nor
rison bill passed. the industry from which
they gain their livelihood would have passed,
to large extent, into the hands of the Cana
dians.
1t should be borne in mind that the party
that attempted to do these things is now pos
ing as the friend of the laboring man, and in
wiling him into the Democratic temple

ton to their followers. while the Protestant
Orange leaders seem to have followed Lord
Randolph Churchilfs example in preaching
to Ulster resistance by force to any attempts
to secure liberty for ireland. When Lord
Churchill visited Ulster few months ago,
he did everything he could to stir up the old
animosity between Ulstermen and their
Catholic neighbors. The old feuds, from the
Boyne onward, were recalled, and the Ulster
heart was fired by stirring illusions to the
old valor which kept Belfast, Londonderry
and Enniskillen from the Catholic kerns.
These utterances may not be the cause OF
the present riots, but they certainly did

An Improbable Story.


A Gainesville girl has steady company In
the person of young man who is forever
and forever kissing her. She likes share
of this sort of sweetmeats, but quite fire.
quently it pals on her taste. He;invited her
to ride the other moonlight night, and she
accepted, fully realizing that she would be
made the target of no end of regulatory prac-
tice. Out on the road, in the moonlight, the
arm about her waist and then drew nearer
to her. She said nothing. Handing back the
lines, from somewhere beneath her wrap she
drew out base ball catcher's mask, strap
ped it to her face and reached out Tor the

THE TREATMENT OF THE RATHER.
ST John SIM

The report furnished to the press iconcern-
ing the detention of the American fishing
schooner Rather, by the cruiser Terror, may
be defective. From the facts furnished no
sufficient reason for the holding of the
of the transaction has not been given to the
public, and it is too soon to form an opinion
as to:the merits of the case. We do not un-
derstand the regulations to require that
American fishing vessels homeward bound
fish laden seeking shelter from the storm in
Canadian waters, must report at Canadian
custom houses, even though these are a long
way off as the captain of this fishing schoon-
er saws he was compelled to do.

PERILoUs NEGLECT
Lewiston Journal.

The action of the Democratic House, in
is something in which Maine is especially
interested, both because she is so near the
Canadian frontier and because of her large
extent of sea coast. The city of Portland,
for instance, with its population of thirty
five thousand, could be shelled by any mod no. d.
from the city in more than thirty feet Of
water either from the northeast or southeast
of the city. Does any one think the forts
now supposed to protect the harbor would be
any adequate defence? and where is the city
or town along the whole coast from Kittery
to PASSPORT, that would not be similarly ex-
posed in case of war with any foreign ma

Among the last things to be done by the
House of Representatives before it took its
rest, was the passage of the bill to pension
the widow of the Vermont soldier, General
Stannard. The Senate fixed the sum at one
hundred dollars per month, but the House
scaled it down to fifty dollars, the sum f.
nally approved by the President Mrs. STAN
nard is confirmed invalid, unable to raise
her hand to her head, and requiring the con-
slant care of another person. She has an
unmarried daughter, also an invalid. Gen.
eral Stannard himself, though his distin-
guished services in the civil war earned him
high rank, was left with but one arm, and
shattered health at the end of his service in
the army. When he died he is said to have
left but one hundred dollars, his monthly sal
airy as a doorkeeper for one of the galleries
In the Capitol. When the bill was under dis
cussion in the House of Representatives, it
was recalled with some feeling by one mem
Der that, while Gen. Stannard was wounded
on the field at Gettysburg by the side of Gen.
Hancock, Mrs. Stannard, an invalid, must
have but fifty dollars a month, while the
House had given pension of two thousand
dollars year to Mrs. Hancock, though there
was brought to the attention. of the House
no evidence that Mrs. Hancock is not per-
son in full possession of her physical facul-
ties and in every respect in good health. But
Mrs. Hancock is the widow of Democratic
soldier.
While the rights and privileges of our fish
ermen are to all appearances as much in dis
pute as ever, the people of Calais are having
u skirmish of their own with the cantanker-
Gus Bluenoses. There is a.bridge between
Calais and st. Stephen over which, until re-
Gently, the people of the two places have
wendell their way undisturbed on their
peaceful missions. But last winter, by the
sluing Of a team on the bridge, young lady
Of Calais was seriously hurt. Her father
brought suit against the bridge company,
and damages were awarded him. In default
Of payment the bridge, or the right to take
tolls, was sold, Mr. Maloney becoming
purchaser. But he had no sooner begun to
exercise his profitable right at the Calais end
than the BluenoSe stockholders, refusing to
recognize the decree of an American court,
boarded mp the ST. Stephen entrance. Mr..
Maloney br oke their barricade down, but it
was replaced. Then MI. Maloney DroKc IL
down again. Then the Canadian who put up
the barricades was incautions enough to ven
ture over to Calais, where it is reported that
he was promptly seized on a writ issued
against him for damages. This has stirred
up the Canadian stockholders still more, and
they say that Mr.. Maloney will be arrested
for tearing the barricades down if he dares
venture over to st. Stephen. The most for
tunate thing about the fracas, however, is
that Secretary Bayard has not heard of it,
Unless he comes upon the scene with sugges-
tions of commission or treaty, Mr.. Ma
loney stands fair chance to enjoy the tolls
which the court has allowed to him.

White Help.

In reply to an item in yesterday s
APPEAL regarding white help the
Tribune says.
The matter was referred to for the
purpose of showing that the white
labor desired is non-procurable. A
lady stated to the writer that she
had been fearfully snubbed by
mothers in Carson City to whom
she had spoken on the subject Of
their daughters accepting positions
in families as help.
You can get all the white help
you want by sending to the employ
ment agencies in San Francisco one
of which aGyertises in another
column.
We are well aware that Carson
people do not like to have their
daughters 90 out to work. This is
natural enough; but if the Chinese
stay here few years longer money
will be so tight that a good many
girls in well to do families will be
obliged to go out to work or starye.

New Gam e.

1t has recently occurred to US
that new game was needed on
this Coast to vary the monotony
between now and the campaign.
Shuttle the cards and let anybody
cut. Take the card off the top of
the pack and lay it away face
down on the next table. Then be
gin a poker game, and slide along
in the usual style with 81 cards.
and when anybody names the mis-
sing card he takes the pot. If
whist is played the discovery comes
soner. You put down dollar
when you essay to name the mis-
sing card; forfeit the dollar if you
fail, and take the pot if you sue
coed. After each attempt you
change the missing card. The one
missing card upsets the wisest cal
culations.
