:o'sHEA WRITES A LETTER.
LONDON, Aug. 2, 5 A. MFR. O'Shea
writes to the Times in regard to the inter
Wow between MesSrS. Parnell and Cham
berlain Both are right; but full of hor-
ror, as Mr.. Parnell was on the day after
the Phoenix park murder, it is not aston
ishing that he has forgotten that he asked
me to arrange an interview with the min
ister he then considered his bene-
factor. 1t is quite true that he
went with Mccarthy after left MIR.
Chamberlain | only wish that those who
believe Mr.. Parnell cognizant of crime had
seen him on that day. Innocence never
showed itself more clearly under terrible
ordeal Wild as his attacks may appear, 1
know that for long time he had been i'm
bued with a fixed idea that Mr.. Chamber
lain divulged cabinet secrets.
THREATENED TO PUBLISH IT..
The last time | spoke to Mr. Parnell,
shortly before the division on Mr.. Glad
stones home-rule bill, he threatened to
publish the charge. In regard to 10 al gov
ernmenJ Mr.. PsrnelPs memory is curiousiy
at fault. The scheme was altogether Mr.
Parnells own. Mr.. Chamberlain, hesitated,
and only adopted it because 1t was MIR.
Parnells. Why lie now repudiates it is
mystery Surely also there Is some mis-
take about the removal of the coercion act
Mr.. Chamberlain must still have In his pos
session the draft of the coercion act amended
in Mr.. Parnells' own hand into the form in
which he proposed 1T should be passed, with
just enough show Of opposition in parlia-
ment to satisfy those concerned.

LINoLEUM AND THE TARIFF.
Plea for Higher Duties Than Those
Fixed by the Mills Bill.


WASHINGTON, Aug. There was a full
consultation of the republican members of
the finance committee Of the senate to-day
over the tariff bill, including Senator Sher-
man, who is not on the subcommittee. The
measure is substantially completed and in
print, though no feature of it has abso-
lutely passed beyond the probability of a
change, and it is now not expected that it
will be reported for a week Meanwhile
hearings will be granted to any interests
which present themselves Among the
people heard to-day were representatives of
the new linoleum manufacturing company
of Kearney. N. J. They said they had ex-
pended about $500,0 on their plant, and
are only just ready to begin operations,
proposing to open their works next week,
and ultimately to give employ
ment to about 1900 men. The
Mills bill cuts down the tariff on linoleum
from 40 to 25 per cent. ad valorem which,
they represent, effects a discrimination
against them, all things considered, of .0445
cents on the square yard, as compared with
the present cost Of foreign product Of like
grade. The total loss by reason of the Is
per cent. reduction proposed by the Mills
bill is .0702 cents, but there are concessions
made by putting certain raw materials on
the free list and reducing the duty on
others, which makes the total discriInina-
tlon as stated.
Western wool men were also heard to-
day favoring, in substance, a 10 per cent.
advance on the wool tariff.

Three Reasons for Not Going TO Church.

|. can worship God without going
to church. But do you worship God
at home? Do you ever try? Did you
ever set apart an hour on the Sabbath
for the worship of God by your own
freside? Have not many Sundays
come and gone when you have not
once opened the Bible? Have there
not been many Sabbaths wherein you
have never bent your knees in prayer?
And do you call this worshiping God
at home? AS rule, those who do not
worship God in the sanctuary do not
worship him at all.
>. work hard all the week, and 1
must have Sunday for rest. You must
have it, you say; but who has given
you leave to use such language? Sun
day is the Lords day-not yours. The
fact that you work hard for six days
docs not give you any right to sin
away the seventh. God intends that
you should rest on Sunday; and the
bodily rcfreshment which you need
will be far better secured by going to
church, morning and evening, than by
lettering away at home all the hours OF
the holy Sabbath.
3. My clothes are so shabby l am
not fit to appear at church. If you
are 50 poor, you have the greater need
of the gospel to comfort your heart.
But many arc very poor because they
have lived in the neglect of public
worship; and if you would get rid OF
the deep poverty, you must first give
IN the practice which has brought you
to rays. Come to church, receive the
salvation which Christ offers, ana bet
ter habits will bring better clothing.
The poor man who gets new heart
will not be long before he gets new
coat. Matt. vi: 50.

Extracts from LOwndesville Advertiser
Prohibition in AbNevilin County.

Prohibition in Abl,evilin County.
The editor of the Press 0nd Banner
wrote u very sensible article last week
or !hc subject Of prohibition, which |
hope all will read who have been for
tifyiny themselves by tic old thread
bare arguments against prohibition.
If they have never before became
convcrsant with both sides of the sub
;cct, 50 as TO see the utter futility of
these arguments, / am sure if they
will rcnh Mr.. Wilson's article on the
subject they will cease to offer such OBJ
icctions 20 prohibition, whatever may
be their attachments for barrOoms and
their objections to temperance.
He seems, however, TO think that
the Liquor men Of Abbcviie would be
loyal to prohibition should it become
carried, and that not a single man, be-
longing to the ants, would do any
thing to evadc the enforcement of the
prohihitory laws.
hope the editor of the Press and
Banner is right in his opinion, but if
he is, then AbbevilIc is an exception
TO the rule, or else all the cry that pro
hibition does not prohibit is false. IF
prohibition does not prohibit, then il
is because the liquor men are violating
the law, in all towns where prnhibi-
ton has been carried, and where this
objection is being offered.
If there is any lawlcssncss on this
subject, it is because those who are
opposed to temperance are determined
that it shall not succeed if they can
prevent it.
If the liquor men of Abbcvil!e are
rs loyal and true to the right as Mr..
Wilson thinks they are land 7 hope he
is right then we need not look for
much resistance in the present con-
test.
Only those who hate the right, who
have no feeling for the best interest Of
their fellows, and would rejoice over
the downfall Of virture, arc ready tn
fight temperance, and take decided
stand against the reform movements
along this line. If the prohibitionists
of Abbeville County triumph in this
conflict, and prohibition docs not pro-
hibit, it will be because some Of the
liquor party do not scruple to violate
the law.
Let every man who favors the sal
vation of this country, in this II ur OF
extremity show himself man, and
with the prayers and sympathies of
the true women Of the country, with
the appeals of all the highest and best
impulses of our natures, and with the
certainty of Gods approval we shall
succeed. Vote right yourself, and in
the name Of God, try and get some
body else to do likewise, and after the
conflict is over, whatever may he the
result. you will have consciousness
of having done the right, which will
be IN impetus to do the right again,
whenever opportunity offered.
