The Pope on the Irish Questions.
LONDON, April PA statement that
the pope has issued decree condemn
ing the plan of campaign in Ireland, is
confirmed. His Holiness says he does
so, because he is convinced that the plan
of campaign is illegal. He says he ia
also convinced, thar the land courts
will reduce all unfair rents. Another
circumstance that Influenced him, he
says, is the fact that funds are extorted
liOm contributors to the plan. The pope
condemns boycotting, as practice con-

A Lady's Report OF Brownsville EIec-

Flattered.

Daily LIGHT:
BROWNSVILLE, April 19.-Your criti-
cisms in regard to the remarks of the
Caller, concerning the election In Corpus
Christi, we're entirely unjust. The poor
man meant neither Corpus nor San An
tonic, but Brownsville. Yet. not being
present he failed to do the subject JUS
tice. The disgraceful scenes upon the
street drove decent men to their homes
and offices, many of the best citizens re-
fusing to 60 to the polls. Several days
prior to the election, voters from all
parts Of the county we're corralled in the
city and filed with smuggled
mescal; the sheriff patrolling the
streets with a mounted escort, ostensibly
to keep order, really to prevent promis-
cuous voting unless of the right color.
The hot feeling engendered by the high
handed disregard of law eliminated in
the cowardly murder Of Mr.. Thomas w.
Kennedy, who was shot down by q depu-
ty sheriff hidden behind tree. Another
deputy sheriff with him went across the
river to inform the sheriff, making no
effort to capture the murderer. The
flimsy excuse is given that the man did
it In defense OF his injured honor, when
1t is well known that his wife is a pros
titute from whom he was separated.
Poor murdered Tom, the assassin's bull
let never pierced a more generous heart.
"Is 1t possible" asked men Of all politi-
cal cOlOrs, that Tom ia killed; who will
be the next vicIim?" Some l,5OO

Immigration can we hope to be freed
from the Infamous ring now in power.
True, we have good men here, who now
regard in disgust, nay, Mortified silence
the outrages being perpetrated, by those
they helped to elect four years ago, for
with few exceptions the same were
elected two years ago. A few unprinoi-
pied designing men and an ignorant
horde TO compare them with the brutes
would be an insult to the latter now

ONE of the special beauties of the
Mills bill is thus shown up by the
American Manufacturer:
What if the Mills bill placed duty
on wool aud admitted wooden goods
free of duty. What would be thought
of this? Would it not look like the
work of a lot of fools or reckless knaveSP
Yet the Mills bill provides for an alb
surdity of this very kind. 1t admits
cotton ties without a duty and places a
duty of s. per ton ON pig iron, the raw
material from which the ties are made.
In other words foreign pig iron in its
manufactured state must pay duty
of IS per ton, but after it has been con-
verted into cotton ties and hoop iron of
certain gauges it may come in free.
Thus the work of converting pig iron
into ties and hoop iron is by the Mills
bill taken away from American work
ingmen and given to to the working
men of other countries.
