THE UNITEDsTATEs AND IRELAND.
The Duke OF Argyle EadeavOrs To SHOW
Up American Ignorance.
(By Anglo-American cable to the Dispatch

(By AngIo-American cable 10 the Dispatch
LONDON, July l2.-The Duke OF
Argyle publishes in to-day's Times a
letter concerning the United States and
Ireland. He says that despite ma
tional sympathies there is profound ig-
norance in England and in the United
States respecting each others Consti-
tuition. He admits his own ignorance
at the start Of the American civil war
in sympathjzipg with the South. He
says the sympathy Of Americans for
the Irish in their present struggle arises
from the error of thinking Of Ireland
as an American State, and that the Eng
lish are Withholding from Ireland pow
eIs similar to those possessed by the
different States Of the American
Union. Nothing" says the Duke,
"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 checks in its powers
Of self-government which each State
allows, he says Gladstone's pro-
posal violates both these grand princi-
pies, for "the corrupt and immoral
bargain banishes Ireland from imperial
councils and surrenders the minority
entirely into the hands Of the local
msjority." Americans" he adds,
/. /" would perhaps hardly believe this,
'but it is strictly true. The pretended
limitations and restraints against local
tyranny are quite illusory." The Duke
then appeals to Americans to clearly
understand the Unionist contention
namely, that it has been for Irelaud's
sake solely that the Unionists have
given opposition to Gladstone's Irish
scheme.
The letter concludes as follows sit
is the Unionists and not the members
of the Government who are fighting for
Il g liberties of the Irish people. Even
If Parnell were immortal, or ifhis party
represented far larger numerical ma
iority Of the Irish people than it really
does, neither he nor they would have
the right to dispose Of the constitu-
tional rights of Ireland. We
DO not desire to see Ireland reduced to
the condition of being but a tributary
province and banished from the impe-
rial councils. Neither can We see her
endowed with powers over her own
people which no civilized Government
ought to have or ask. We desire to
see her continue sharing in the delibe-
rations which the eloquence Of her sons
has so often adorned

The Wheat.CrOp Condition.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July r.
Professor Dodge, statistician of the
Agricultural Department, says concern
ing the various estimates made from his
last report on the wheat crop, that
though the average of the condition of
spring wheat on the LIST day of last July
was 9G, it fell to Sc at the time Of
harvest, which is only three points
higher than the present condition, and
this represents loss Of less
than six million bushels as COM
pared with the result of last
years harvest. The damage occurred
last year in the last two weeks of
July and later. There is a great risk
of further damage during July and
August, but that already reported
means only the loss of 5000, 1000 BUSH
els in spring wheat, and 100000 in
winter wheat, or a total loss Of ll,000,-
coo in wheat during the month of
June.

floor-men or aide-trimmsfs. For some
time past they have been handling 10
head Of cattle each day. This, they
claim, Is too much for the pay. and

msnd that hereafter they shall bs re-
quired to handle but 100 head per day.
and that they shall receive the same
wages that they are now getting--s2i

whether they work or not. What
action the employers will take is not
yet known.

De muscadines il black am nice,
De simmons is gittin' sweet:
De 'possum is gittin' sassy an fat
Oh! won't dey make good meat.
tell yer de- 'possum am er glor'us ting
When he's fixed up nice an JUICY;
AM dar amt nobody ken fix 'um better
Den my oP lady Lucy.
She takes him an she cooks him.
AM she browns him nice and sweet
Yer smacks yer lips an pitc he's in,
Yer eat an eat an eat.
An when yer eat an eat an eat
Till yer's full ez yer ken hoP,
Yer hopes dat'r possum for ter eat always
Up yonder whar' de streets is gor.
AM dis is why likes de fall
De bes' NV all de seasons:
Case den it is de possum's ripe,
An da's dc bes' ov reasons.
