Sam Jones has been lecturing to i'm
nense audiences in Massachusetts,
and New York, and the papers east,as
they did at the west, do him the in
justice of selecting for publication only
those fragments OF his addresses which
are simply characteristic eccenterci-
ties, or blemishes, III some cases. The
truth is, Sam Jones is wonderful
speaker, and his power to move an
audience has been rarely excelled. To
see all audience of thousands rapidly
alternating between tears and smiles
will convince everybody that Sam
Jones reputation is not baseless.

Letter from the Duke ofArgyl

Letter from the Duke ofArgyll.
The Duke OF Argyll, in letter concerning
the United States and Ireland, says:
Despite the national symp&shies there is
profound ignorance in England and the
United States respecting each others con
at the beginning OF the American civil war
in sympathizing with the South. Thesym-
pathy OF SHE Americans fer the Irish In
their presen struggle arises frem the error
OF thinking.of Ireland as an American state.
and that the English are withholding from
Ireland powers similar to those possessed
by differenhsetates OF the American Union,
Nothing could be more erroneous than
this idea. Referring to the right OF. each of
the United States to due share Of the
general powers of congress and to the
checks in itsspower OF self-governnnentwh
each state allows he says that Mr.. Glad
stones proposal violates both these prin-
ciples. for thercorrupt and immoral bar
gain banishes Ireland from the imperial
councils andaarrenders the minority entire
ly in the hands OF the local majority.
Americans willihardly believe this but it
is strictly true. The pretended limitations
and restraints against local Tyranny are
quite illusory. The duke then appeals to
Americans u@ clearly unders land the
Unionist constitution, namely; that it
has been for IseIand's sake solely that
the Unionists have.g given opposition TO Mr..
Gladstone's Irish schemes. 1t is the Onion
lists and not the members OF the govern
z1nent who are fighting for the liberties OF
the Irish people. Even if Mr.. Parnell were
{ INN ortal, or if his party represented a far
larger numerical majority OF Irish people
than it really does, neither he nor they
would have a rigl1ttto dispose of the con-
-stitutional rights esf Ireland. We do NOT
desire to see Ireland reduced to the condi-
:tion OF being but a tributary province and
'banished from the imperial councils, Meth
,er can we see her enc owed with powers
over her own people which no civilized
government ought to have or ask. We de-
sire to see her continue sharing in the de-
alterations which the eloquence OF her sons
has so.often adorned.

The Great Educational Conclave,

A dispatch from Topeka Kansas, says;
There are fully 5000 teachers present at
the annual meeting of the National Educa-
tional association. This is 1000 more
than ever attended any previous meeting.
The increased attendance is probably due
to the fact that it is the first time the as
ISOLATION has met west OF the Mississippi
river since its organization, in 1853. All
the Western states are we'll represented,
Kansas alone sending 1000 teachers. The
attendance from the Southern states is
much larger than ever before, with one
or two exceptions every southern state be-
ing represented. There are several hundred
from the New England states, 400 from
Illinois, $50 from Indiana, 200 from Penn
sylvania, 400 from Ohio 200 from Wis
consin, 500 from Missouri, 200 from Min
nesota, and smaller delegations from other
sta ties. Some OF the most renowned edu-
Gators OF the nation are present. There be-
ing no hall in the city large enough to ac-
commodate one-fourth OF the visitors. the
programme has been SO arranged that
