ALL that remains now, says the San
Francisco Monitor, in order to make
the Parnell Letter Forgery case one of
the most Ubiquitous and ridiculous legal
farces ever brought into public notice
in London or elsewhere, is to have some
perjured English policemen to swear
hat Charles Stewart Parnell is no other
than 1.-The Ripper" alias the White
chapel murderer. The so-called trial of
the London Times is the veriest mockery
Of legal justice, and is a disgrace which
will leave stain upon English juris-
prudence for many years to come.

of the British votes cast in 1885 were
in favor of Home Rule. He shows
first that the total Tory and Dlssentient
vote was 1 .429, 900 and the total Liberal
vote, 1858, 900, or nearly two. fifths of
the total registered vote. Presuming
that the same proportion of the total
registered ownership vote-namely the
votes of those who could poll wherever
they had property qualification was
cast, then of the total vote polled there
were 1000 ownership votes. Mr..
Gladstane goes on to estimate that
three. quarters or 45, 900 of these were
against and one quarter or $4,000 were
for Home Rule. To use his own words:
"To ascertain what the people of Great
Britain want. and whether the majority
of Great Britain even in 1886 were
favorable 10 Ireland must deduct on
both sides the ownership votes. l de-
duct the ownership vote from the Tory
and Dissentient vote LAPS, 900 less as
coo; that leaves 1,OO4, 900. In like man
ner l have to deduct from the total
Liberal vote of ! 1853 600, the estimated
ownership vote of $1,000; that leaves us
1871 900. So that according to every
rational and probable calculation even
IN 1886, in the darkest days of the for
tunes of Ireland, the majority of the
people of the sister island were true to
Ireland, true to sense of her suffer
ings, true to the hope and determine
ton of doing their best to relieve them.
Seventy six thousand, as / tell you was
the number by which we we're beaten,
but when we have deducted on both
sides the estimated ownership vote it
appears that majority of persons
voted for the Liberal cause, even in
1856, Of no less than $1,000 persons.' 1t
is evident, therefore, that had the Lib
eral zone -man-yote" principle governed
the election of 1885, Ireland to-day
would in all probability be enjoying
the long fought for Home Rule, and
the irreprissible Irish question which
still clogs the wheels of the Legislative
machine at Westminster rendering il
incompetent to fulfil it's intended func
tions, would be thing Of the past
Notwithstanding the fossil Tory prin-
ciples of property qualification will
likely prevail in the next general cleo
tion, yet the prospects are good for the
fuccess of the policy Of Mr.. Gladstone
that policy which will replace the
fragile "paper union" with the more
durable ''unlon of hearts," and which
by securing the friendship of the
numerous aud influential sons of Ire
land throughout the world, will go fal
in promoting that union of English
speaking peoples so nauch desired,

IT is stated that Henry Arthur Blake,
whose appointment as Governor of
Queensland excited so much opposition,
resulted in the cancelling Of that az
pointment, will be appointed Governor
of Mauritius. 1t is considered certain
that the chief cause OF the opposition
to him in Queensland has been that he
was on principle a Coercionist aud in
fact rank renting Irish landlord. The
Government disregards irish opinion in
ireland, but they cannot afford to do so
in the United States or Queensland.

NO ROOM FOR ANARCHISTS.

The enemies of government and law
in this country will soon find, it they
have not already found, that there is
no room for them in this country.
Another evidence Of this fact is in the
conviction OF Hornek in Chicago, and
his sentence to twelve years imprison-
xnent for carrying about with him the
deadly bomb. This government, like
ali other has its faults, bnt 1t is the
hest and most humane on the face OF
Gods earth to-day. Law knows no
distraction here. There are advan-
t ages for all if rightly sought, and every
citizen has the greatest possible lbelty
consistent with order and justice. We
ara governed great deal by the ballot
and the poor mans vote is equal in
the scale and has all the weight Of he
who possesses millions. If all OF the
former class were true to themselves
II each and every one of them would
cast q ballet as his conscience dictated
without selling that sacred suffrage to
she highest bidder, he would have little
ar no cause for complaint against the
laws Of these United States. That man
who will busy himself at any honest
toll. who will lead an honorable life'
who will follow the dictates OF clean
conscience, will never become an an
archist or communist.
til fact we'll wor thy OF note that
nowhere has il been found, in the roll
Of auarchistic arrests, one Irish name.
Irjshmen know too we'll how to appre-
ciate the blessings allotted to them on
& his free soil. Oppressed and perse-
cuted in their own land and on their
own soil, as soon as they arrive here
they at once assimilate with the GUS
toms and practices of all good citizens
no matter what their creed or nation
ality may be. With all their suferings
they have not become tainted, even in,
the most minute way, with that vile
infamy, curse and crime, known as an
srchy ana communism. There IS
neither room nor cause for one or the
other on American soil.

The abuse CT Catholics is becoming
less and less popular. AT a recent
religious conference in New York,
a ''Rey." began an onslaught on the

stepped forward and, in a whisper,
caused the abuse to cease; but, again
resuming, a Mr.. Dodge requested him
to stop and apologized for the abusive

So far as Kilrain and Mitchell go, John
could whip both of them at once if it
were possible to get them into an eight

be out of the question. Mr.. Booze is
the only one whom Sullivan has not
been able to defeat, and Booze is deter

THE question now is not whether the
London Times can make good its
charges against Parnell; but whether,
with the aid of the Tory government,
by indefinitely protracting the investi-
cation and making colossal expenses, it
can knock the Irish leader out inan-
cially. They may protract. The great
Irish leader will never be defeated
through lack OF financial aid.

Exchange.
More towns die for want of the
confidence in the business men and
lack Of public spirit than from rivalry
from neighboring towns or adverse
surroundings. When a man in search,
Of a business location goes into a place
and finds everything brimful Of en-
th1siasm over the prospects of the
place, all earnestly at work to build
up the town, he soon becomes imbued
with the same spirit and as result he
drives down his stake and goes to
work with the same interest. When,
however, be goes to town and every
one expresses doubt and apprehen-
sion about the future prosperity of the.
place, moping about and indulg-
ing IN imaginary evils which are like.
" to befail the town, he naturally
feels that it is no place for him, and
at onee shakes the dust from his feet,
and pulls with all possible speed for
another town. GonsequentIytry and
make 1--we progressive town out of
the one in which you live. When you
are working for Or saying a good
thing for your town you are accom-
plishing the more for yourself. The
man who works against the business
interest Of bis own town, and ii Is.
done in yafions ways, should not re-
ceiye It's benefits and privileges.

are oDdeayoring TO induce the General
Assembly of orr State, now in session

Legislation, to pass law prohibiting
