O'Brien Talks.

DUBLIN, Jan. 22.-Kilrush was illu-
minated this evening and the streets
were crowded with people. The Gov
eminent proclamation prohibiting the
meeting announced to be held there to-
day was publicly burned All bonfres
and blazing tar barrels were extinguIsh-
ed by the police. There was a conflict
at kilkee between the police and the
people, and one policeman was severely
injured
Mr. O'Brien. who is almost prostrated
with emotion, Intends to attend the
banquet given in his honor by his elect
ors, and then to rest for a few weeks in
accordance with his doctors advice.
10 spite OF the endeavOr to prevent his
whereabouts from becoming generally
known, every mail is bringing many con-
gratulatory letters. He is resid:n with
friend in Dublin. In an interview to-
day he said
L felt so we'll on leaving prison that have
oveTtaxed my sire myth, and as a result 1 am
sieepless and worn out. There was port
manteau full OF letters waiting me at the
prison on leaving, and the number | baye
received since is so great that / am quite
unable to deal with them. Those | have
read Affected me more than i can describe
but 1t Is surprising that have received not
one threatening letter. l have formed no
plans for future action yet but it matters
little, because the spirit of the country
among all classes las mounted to a degree
altogether beyond former experience
The National League, he continued,
instead of being effaced, as the Coercion
lists prOphesied, was more firmly rooted
than ever. The action of the Land
Commission had been equivalent to CEN
suriDg the moderation of the plan of
campaign. Mr.. Balfour had found that
the League could only be SUPPRESS
ed by suppressing society. The
action of the Government in prosecu-
ting priests showed that the hopes
of muZz'iDg them by means of
lntrigres at Rome had been frustrated.
1t was an attempt to outrage the people
into an exhibition of violence as a set
on against Balfour's wanton brutality.
II Mr.. Blunt had never revealed
Balfour's intentions toward the Par
neiiltes the course pursued bv the
Chief Secretary was evidence enough,
lie believed that Bslfour would push
matters to extreni.ies until public opin-
lou daunted him.
An attempt was made last night to
serenade Wilfrid Blunt, who is confined
IN the prison at Galway. The police
lnterfered and ordered the musicians
away. The latter thereupOn embarked
in boats and held torch light process
sion on th river beneath the walls Of the
prison. Seamen from the war ship
Banterer gave chase, but failed to cap
ture the seIenaders. General enthusi-
asm has been caused by William
O'Brien's release from TuiIamore Jail.

THE contest over the seat OF Mr..
Carlisle, Speaker of the House OF Repre-
sen.atives, was settled on Monday last
in that gentleman's favor by vote of
164 yeas to nays. la referring TO this
matter in its different phases and es-
peciallv to the disreputable tactics
resorted 20 by the Republican leaders
in the House for the purpose of making
political capital with the labor element,
the Philadelphia Times, of Tuesday,
says
The Republicans of the House ac-
cepLed the .ole of the contemplate dema-
gogue in meeting the issue raised by the
contest of Speaker Cariisle's seat. OF
the members of the Committee on
Elections, there was not one of the
Speakers opponents who had the cour-
age to deny his Just right TO the seat,
and two publicsns-Messers. ROwell

ing his election. But when the question
came up before the House. the party
whip was cracked, and the Republicans
refused to vote.
The contestant has been twice heard
by his own counsel and with his own
consent. and a unanimous judgment
given against him on the second hear
ing, which was accorded not as a mat
ter of right but as matter of courtesy
what more could be done in the interest
o: justice ?
But Speaker Carlisle's contestant hap
pened to have been Knight of Labor,
and while none pretend that he has any
just claim to the seat, the Republicans
played the role of petty demagogues by
refusing TO vote on the question, ex-
pecting to make capital with labor hy
mocking every principle of fairness. As
Chairman Crisp of the Election Com

The final act of this dlSgraceful parti
sanship came off yesterday, when Speak
er Carlisle was declared elected by 164
yeas TO nays. The Republicans whose
members OF the committee had practi-
cally affirmed the Speakers right TO the
seat, were so enslaved TO party that
they dared not vote their convictions IL
his favor, and they were too cowardly
to record their votes against him. And
this is called statesmanship in the eve
ming of the nineteenth century, and by

An Orderly Strike.

The Reading strike is one of the most or
derly aud apparently dispassionate strikes
of the country. There are labor agitators
who seek to infis me the strikers, and there
are few lawless men who seek to bring
dishonor on them, but neither of these class
es has been able to stamp the strike with
any disorderly features.
A strike that is thus orderly and appar-
emily free from violent passion, shonld be
within range of prompt adjustment. There
Is always reason in men who respect law
and order, and reason and reason alone
should be appealed to, for reason would ap.
peal to the mutual interests of the disput-
ing parties.
We believe that the organized miners hold
in their hands the solution OF the trouble,
and our advices give assurance that the re.
sponsible representatives of the orgauiza-
tion want to strip the issue Of all prejudice
and outside questions. and make the wisest
efforts to obtain the best wages for the min.
ers. Let that be done even if it shall re-
quire courage to do it. With an order low
ing people to deal with, it is not only al
ways SAFE but always most expedient, to dc
exactly the right thing and in exactly the
right way, and that would end the strike il

Five Persons Murdered

CHARLEsToN, January 19-Informatfon
reaches here from Oceana, Wyoming coun-
ty. that another bloody chapter in the Nc
Coy Hatfield feud was enacted on Saturday
night las:, In which the lives of five McCoys
were sacrificed.
It will be recalled that about the begin
ming of the new year the feud. which had
been stilled for some months, broke out
the Hathelds were worsted. After the fun.
eral of the victims the HatieIds proceeded
to annihilate tbs family of Randall Mccoy
They surrounded mis- house across the Ken
tuckY line, and setting fire to it, drove Nc
Coy's wife, SOD aud daughter like sheep in
to the shambles TO be ruthlessly slaughtered.
Randall Mccoy escaped to the woods.
After this battle was over and the dead
had been laid away, the McCoys organized
a posse and made an unfriendly call on the
Hatfield settlement in West Virginia They
did not find the Hatfields at home, but had
not long to wait in the adjoining woods
when the Hatfelds were upon them, and a
regular pitched battle ensued. Victory
perched on the Mccoy banners, and when
the smoke cleared away it was found that
the Hatfelds had three killed, while none
of the McCoys was injured.
There was most intense excitement in the
whole neighborhood. The authorities were
paralyzed. and the people are not surprised
ct hearing OF the latest shocking butchery
In which the horrible practices of the saw
age aboriRines who once occupied the ranges
and valleys of the Blue Ridge are again re-
yived.
All the details that have yet been received
OF Saturday nights massacre are simply
that the Hatfied gang made a raid on the
house of Sim Mccoy. brother of Randall.
The McCoys we're completely surprised.
Mrs. Mccoy was tied TO a tree and shot to
Death. The eldest son W as next tied up and
riddled with bullets.
Sim Mccoy barricaded the back door and
made weak defense of his home against
great odds. finally the Hatfelds set FIRE to
the house, and Mccoy and his two youngest
children were burned to death.

Everything for MOnopIies.

The defenders of the monopoly main
tanning and surplus producing war tariff
are getting ready TO abandon even the
whiskey tax in order to prevent any
abatement of the duties upon the ueces-

The moral sentiment and economic
sense of the better class of voters

while there is war legacy of St24 ,O00,- =

stood between the tariff defenders and
their desires. But now that a few
fanatical females have objected to the
whiskey tax because they think the Gov

inevitable traffic in strong drink by tax

sfearnestly urges the abolition of the
whiskey tax its efforts may prove more
