The latest report regarding the
pope's action concerning Irish
matters is that he is about to turn
loose a couple Of bulls condemn
ing boycotting, the plan of cam
paign and Nationalist methods in
general. 1t seems that the willy
dago has more sense than to do a
thing so beneficial to.the Irish in
the long run; but whom the
gods" etc. The English govern
ment has without doubt been
making some great efforts to get
Leo to use his influence and this
condemnation of the methods
adopted by the struggling Irish is
perhaps the result of NEGOTIATIONS
between Bloody Balfour" and the
pope.

The account of the wedding in
the daily papers contained the fol-
lowing description of floral decor
ations in the mining kings man
sion:
The back drawing-room was
decked in solid masses of red tu-
lips. while the same tinge of green
was apparent on the walls. The
library was occupied by Kenigs-
berg's orchestra, which constantly
dispensed sweet music. Upstairs,
the supper-room, a spacious apart
ment, was decorated entirely in
pink and white roses. One long
table ran through the room. In its
center was placed a bank of pink
rosebuds set in thick green leaves.
The mantel was decorated with
white roses placed in deep china
jars. Two great blue jars in the
drawing-room were filled with hy-
acinths. The handsome house
with its polished hardwood floors
was cool and attractive. Every
thing was done for the comfort of
the guests.
The paper containing the above
description of the superbly beau
tiful decorations in the mining
kings mansion had in it this item
telling of the arrest of a lot of
poor, hungry, workless, hopeless,
miserable human beings:
These men have come to Den
yer in swarms. Nearly every
freight train from the south has
borne its quota of workless men.
But their dream of idleness has
been rudely interrupted. Chief
Brady yesterday ordered a whole
sale arrest of these pests. 1t was
made and with great success.
From noon until 8 o'clock last
evening the patrol did valiant SER
vice. During those hours twenty
runs were made, which net:ed
sixty-three prisoners. Of this
number fifty-6ve were 'vags. y
Their old haunts in the vicinity of
the Burlington round-house, the
viaduct and all around the Bot
toms were raided. Scarcely one
escaped. The destination of one
and all was that unsavory portion
of the city JUL vulgarly designated
as the bull-pen. As the evening
hours advanced this little I8x2o
room was the scene of the widest
disorder, and more wretehed lot
of human beings were never
herded together in Denver.
Who can read the above in con-
nection with the description of the
mining kings daughters marriage

wired his superintendent at the

GET At THE CAUSE.

The Amsyiean Magasinf for May
will contain an article, by a con-
tributor. on THE Anarchists. "
The OILY purpose in view in pub
fishing the comments of the edi-
tor of the magazine on the article
in question is to show how the
depths of the aristocracy have
been stirred withterror by the ex-
plosion of the one measly little
bomb that was thrown by some
as yet undiscovered person at the
Haymarket. The editor says:
During these two. years (since
the Haymarket affair the anarch-
lists have not been idle. Secretly,
stealthily. they have spread their
pernicious doctrines. formed
branches OF their baneful order,
and laid their plans with the ut
most care. to prevent another fail
ure. Their leaders are not ignor-
ant men. They are fanatics, with
brains-the most dangerous class
in the community. Many of them
believe in their mission and are
are willing to die tor it. They
have counted the cost and will fire
the mines they have dug under
our cities, even if they themselves
are involved in the common ruin.
The nightmare which terrorizes
the magazine editor would be
laughable but for the vein of earn
estness which runs through the
whole thing. He says further:
The author shows us that we
are treading on a volcano whose
hidden fires may at any moment
break out and overwhelm us. He
forces upon the reader a reality
most awful to contemplate and
too frightful to endure.
The poor, foolish editor raves at
length about the necessity for the
enactment of laws for the sup
preston of anarchy" never TAX
ing into consideration the fact
that he might as well, and with as
much sense, howl for theenactment
of statute laws against scrofula or
any other disease to which the
human family is heir. He never
stops to think that "anarchy"-as
viewed by himself and the whole
of the aristocracy-is an eruption
on the social body which cannot
be cured by applying the plaster
of a repressive statutory enact
ment. \/
The logic of events in the womb
of the coming quarter of a century
may teach him and his kind that
claws" to prevent social scrofula
("anarchy") will be just as effica-
cious in preventing the disease as
would a law which read: Be it
enacted that no person shall
henceforth be afflicted with the
disease known as scrofula.
1t may take other andworse ex-
periences than that of the Hay
market to teach the upper classes
that it is useless to try to prevent
effects without seeking for causes;
but one thing is very evident
that as long as the cause of up
heavals and disturbances in our
social system exists so long may
we expect them.
When we realize the fact that
priests and preachers are simply
paid liars when they tell US that
poverty is God-ordained institu-
ton and that instead it is an insti-
tuition created by the brutality and
sel6shness of man-when we real
ize this there will be no desperate,
maddened, hungry humans, only
waiting an opportunity, to
destroy institutions which tend to
perpetuate slavery and starvation.

The foreign delegates by speedily
advocating in a scientific manner
free from wild. violent declama-
tion, but strong in the earnestness
that arises from knowledge and
deep conviction-the socialistic
solutions for the problems dis
cussed will accomplish a great
educational work; will dispel the
prejudices against foreigners en-
gendered in the minds of English
artisans by our capitalist press;
and will materially assist US in
breaking through the reactionary
resistance of some among the
Trade Unions of this country.
We appeal therefore to our So
cialist friends OF all countries
and especially to our German
comrades-to assist US in this
great work. The more unworthy

North An,erica,s Inland Ocean.

First of all, word or two in reference to Hudson's bay itself. The proportions of this inland ocean are such as to give it promi- nent place among the geographical features of the world. One thousand three hundred miles in length by GOO miles in breadth, it ex- tends over 12 degs. of latitude, and covers an area of not less than half million square miles. Of the five basins into which Canada is divided, that of Hudson's bay is im1neasur- ably the largest, the extent of country drain ing into it being estimated at 3, DOC, 900 square miles. To swell the mighty volume of it waters there come rivers which take their rise in the Rocky mountains on the east, and the Labrador wilderness on the west, while southward it's river roots stretch far down below the forty ninth parallel, until they tap the same lake source whence flows a streala ntothe Gulf of Mexico.-J.

Work That h Unhealthful.

The dust of wood is so harmless that the occupation of cabinetmakers and carpenters is very seldom productive of disease, but some forms of vegetable dust are very inju- rious, either by reason of their composition, as tobacco, or their shape and size, as cot ton, flax, or hemp, or their rigidity and in solubility, as charcoal. The most dangerous work is that of the grinders and polishers of cut glass, who seldom attain an ago of more than 35 years. They are very soon affected by disease; their teeth drop out, and they finally die of blood poisoning, as there is e large proportion of Iced in glass. Stonecut- ters almost all die of consumption before they are 50 years of age. Workmen who make Portland cement have a persistent cough and expectorate little Jumps of cement.

Hov Shoes Wear Ont.

There are number of small cobblers in basements and hallway stands off the main thoroughfares who make a speciality of Ire pairing while you wait," and who derive a profitable custom from the passers by who need heel tipped or a sole renovated to put their footgear in good condition, whom the stores or more pretentious shoemakers would compel to wait at least a day. There are few men who do do wear off the right heel sooner than the left, because the majority put more force in the right foot when walking. Women walk much more evenly than men, especially in the high heeled shoes in vogue, and, not walking as much, do not need so often the attention of the cobbler. Women wear their shoes cut sooner in the sole of the foot, where the position in their even walking is greater, and the work in their shoes is finer than these cobblers can perform, and so they are seldom customers. The prevalent style of the men to walk with toes outward is very severe on the heels, and good sole will outwear at least two hselings.--Herald of Health.

GRANT AT THE POKER TABLE.

The Warriors Impassivo Faco was Worth
 Good neal to Him in Bluff Game.
 A great deal has been said and written about Gen. Grants abilities as Q poker player. h the early days of his career after the ter imitation of the Mexican war, when stationed in Oregon holding commission as captain of infantry, he became somewhat renowned as one of the most successful poker players of that wild and comparatively unknown re- zion. A brother officer who was then on duty with him makes no secret of the fact that Capt. Grant kept him in a perpetual state of impecuniosity, and that various experts in the mysteries of the game met the same fate at the hands of the then embryotic military genius and to be twice chosen president of the United States.
 s'fhe difficulty we all experienced in play ing poker with Grant, {" remarked this officer, twas his extreme reticence and wonderful inn passiveness Ninety-nine men out of 100, under the excitement of card playing for money, betray their emotions to . greater or lesser extent; but Grant was . sphinx that never spoke He was always cool and entirely self possessed, even when the bottle had been passed around somewhat too freely. No one could ever measure the strength or weak ness of Grants hands by any outward sign or even by the nature and size of his bet. Apparently he was oblivious to his sar- roundings, but close inspection revealed the fact that he narrowly watched his adversa- ries, and could detect them with unerring accuracy when they 'blufed' He would call a man down with pair of deuces when it cost a round s100, perhaps, to see the hand.
 "Grant understood the strength of the game and the weakness of his opponents We did not then comprehend that his mind was strategical, and that his methods of gaming were conducted on military princi- ples. Subsequent events, however, developed that his gaming was not so much a passion for vice as it was to engage in strife and con quer. He rarely lost, and his losses were al- ways small, while his gains were large. Gen. Rufus Ingalls,, who became captain and as sistant quartermaster in 184S, and subse- quently quartermaster general, now retired, was one of the party who played poker with Grant in Oregon in those days, and although very adroit he was no match for the little close mouthed captain. Ben Holiday, the pioneer mail contractor, was likewise on the poker tapis in the early history of Oregon. and so were Joe Lane and Jim Nesmith. both senators from Oregon, the former the randi- date for the vice presidency in 1860 on the ticket with John c. Breckinridge. Ben Hol- .iday was most inveterate poker player But Grant, Lane, Nesmith and Holiday al @ all dead, while Rufus Ingalls, is hale and hearty in his advancing years, and willing
 ct to take hand at poker upon the slight est provocation. "-Kansas City Times.
