CHAPTER VIII.

II THIS FAILS NE, EVERY THING ELSE FAILS,
TOO
At half-past nine Fairfax was Of and
away, having first taken Dick aside and
made that now completely docile. but mysti-
fed individual recite in order his various
duties for the morrow. Oxford did this with
SO much precision as to win commentator
from his friend, who added:
Now, whatever else you may do, my boy,
want you TO make it distinctly understood
that sou have gone away to Paris, to return
no more, forever this year, at least. You
observed how marked was in my adieus tc

America immediately"
At midnight he was in St Malo, where he
found awaiting him a telegram from Neb-
bitt himself
Message only just received. See you
tomorrow on board Norma, Havre, 10 am"
Fairfax smiled, and remarked:
- Persistence often succeeds where genius
fails
At the hour named he stood on the deck
Of the Norma" as she lay at anchor of
Hayre. Nebbitt, looking as if he had just
stepped from bandbox, came forward,
and with his prompt, clear-cut sentences,
began the conversation:
Good morning. Fairfax. Luckily for
yOu,a mere whim of mine brought me back.

Yes, am in haste. ] want to see you

bitt. leading the way into an elegant saloon,
where he mOtioncd Fairfax to a seat.

Fairfax, and plunged directly IN nedias res.
Nebbitt listened with constantly increas.
ing wonder and attention.
When the narrative was closed with the
concise remark: That's the whole thing In
a NUTSHELL he burst forth with the excla-
nation:
Most extraordinary thing l ever heard
of IN my life, Make a sensation greater
than would the assassination of the Car

dear fellow:"

FATHER MCFADDEN. of Gweed ore,
has been in Jail for several months, and
a letter from Mr.. MGlincby, Justice
of the Peace for Donegal, will natural
ly attract much attention to his case.
There is not a single Catholic justice
on the visiting committee of Derry jail
where the priest is interned, although
Donegal is one OF the most Catholic
counties in Ireland, and naturally the
majority of the other prisoners are
Catholics. Mr.. McGlinchy states that
Father M'Fadden has been denied a
copy of the prison rules, yet he finds
that, a prison inquiry having been
held, the prison board have directed
that he shall be deprived Of his priyi-
lege as first-class misdemeanant to
write letter. The Dublin Freeman
is informed by one who has seen Father
McFadden, that his hair has grown
quite grey, that he looks feeble and
delicate, and that, while he makes no
complaint, the durance vile in which he
is kept has worked a sad alteration in
his ordldary CHEEKY and vigorous looks.
The death of a priest under the pris.
on's system would cap Mr.. Balfour's
policy.

In singular contrast to the horrors OF
the Vandeleur evictions was the i'm
pressive scene on a recent Thursday
when the Most Rev. DIR. Owan, accom-
panied by the Rev. Father O'Meara, P.
p. Rev. Father McKenna, and Rev.
Father Seaman, invoking blessing on
the good work, laid the foundation Of
new homes for the tenants evicted on a
site generously given them on the estate
of Mr.. Reeves, a near relative Of the
evictor. Here we have the two sides
of the social picture in Ireland in very
startling contrast. claw and order,"
with its army of police and so]diery,
and it's batons and bayonets, crowbars
and battering rams, and It's removable
magistrates, breaking down the homes
and breaking in the heads OF the ten
ants one day, and that villanious con-
splracy, according to Balfour, the Plan
of Campaign, providing shelter and food
for the homeless and the hungry on the
next. Let honest men judge between
them.

EDITOR Amos j. CUMMINGS, of the
Evening Sum- speaking Of the char
acter of gallant Phil Sheridan, refers to
the Irish ancestry Of the dashing irish
American soldier, and points out that
America has also taken from IRELAND
two Presiden ts--Jackson and Blu
chanan. ''Here are three commanders
of the very first class which Ireland has
furnished to the world through the
United States,' says the Evening
Sun" land Europe contains many Irish
names whose owners have made them
famous. These are very simple facts,
but they abound in suggestions for the
future. The greatest names for The
sons of Ireland have been won on other
soil. She has given us the brightest OF
them all. But these three great sons Of
Ireland and America say in return, in
thunder tones, that self government is
Erin's right just as clearly as it is Eng
land e or Germany's. She could furnish
the men who could do it,"

A MONUMENT TO PHIL. SHERIDAN.

1t is said th:aG e. movement is on foot
to erect a monument to the late General
Philip II. Sheridan, on the grounds
where repose the remains Of the gallant
Irish American commander. 1t will be
a flattering testimonial to the memory
of the dead general; and while we de-
sire to see 1t pushed to q satisfactory
completion, we would add that gallant
Phil has erected for himself in the
hearts of the American people monu-
men5 far more enduring than marble.
His name will eyer be inseparably con-
nected with the name of the Union, and
it needs not granite to perpetuate it for
centuries. However, Irish-Americans
everywhere will be pleased to learn that
one of the greatest factors in the pre-
servation of the American Union, is to
be honored in the manner stated above,

FOR DEMOCRATIC SUCCESS.

The Minnesota Dem ccracy never had
a better chance of turning the State
over to the National majority than they
have this year. The dissatisfactions
that existed two years ago, among the
farmers and laboring classes generally,
are no less to day than they were then;
the Republican legislature, that prom.
ised relief to all, did nothing towards
redeeming it's promises, and the tillers
of the soil are to-day battling with the
same evils that the Republican legisla-
ture promised to abate Two years ago.
The Democratic party is a party OF
the people and one that will always be
found fighting their battles. No state
in the Union has suffered more from
protection than ours. We are obliged
to pay exorbitant tariff rates under the
guise of protecting home industries,
but in reality to protect the manufac-
turers of the East. Minnesota, like
many other old reliable Republican
states, made brilliant effort two years
ago to rid itself of Republican rule, but
unlike others failed to do so. Who
knows what another such effort might
accomplish The State ticket which
the Democrats have nominated cannot
be said to be weak ticketin any sense;
it carries on it's head a name that be-
speaks a clean honest government for
the State if elected. Let the central
committee when it meets, select good
speakers and put them into every town
in the State and not take for granted
that the people will turn out without
being invited. In this way the party
Of the people in Minnesota will achieye
success.

friends who are as anxious for the sue
cess of their candidate, as he is himself,
know these facts, and are making haste
to have him nominated for the legis-
lature instead Of for mayor. While
Mayor Ames has not said he would be a
candidate for re election it is generally
believed that he will instruct his friends
to see that he is not lost sight of when
the primaries are held.

lRELANDs CAUSE.

/ Sir William HarcOurt, replying TO an
address presented to him by the Coven-
try Liberal Association the other day
said the Government policy of Coercion
in ireland was every day becoming
more and more revolving to the judg-
ment and conscience of the country
and the imprisonmento Mr.. Dillon had
done more than anything else to seal
the fate OF the present Administration
in Ireland. They imprisoned the Irish
representatives; in Westminster they
gagged them, and their only policy for
the Government of the country seemed
TO be to insult the people. Their coer-
cicn every day became more bitter, say
| age and cruel. Subsequently, Sir Will
liam addressed a mass meeting near
Kenilworth, and declared that the Gov
eminent had never received mandate
for coercion, and that Ireland could
only be governed on the foundations Of
justice and truth.
All over the world the Irish cause is
recognized as the cause of humanity
against oppression; therefore we hold
it to be in the interests of all men that
they should constantly hear and feel
tina pressure of Irish wrongs. There
shall be no more peace on earth till this
question is settled and relief is given
the starving, rack-rented tenants of
Ireland. AS the Montreal T,ue Wit
ness remarks, the Irish are fighting the
battle OF the Scotch, English and WEIGH
peasantry against landlordism, and CHS
IS why the Nationalist are opposed
with such insane bitterness. Every
weapon, wether of calumny, senseless
race hatred, or religious bigotry, is used
against them. The lords and dukes
who '.own'' the soil OF Ireland would
be willing enough to relinquish their
grasp, to see the island become indie
pendent OF Great Britain, or that it
should sink from sight beneath the sea,
il only the submission of their serfs in
other parts of ths empire were assured.
But they dare not concede an inch lest
the whole structure Of the aristocracy
totter and fall. The lines are now
sharply drawn, and the Irish cannot
but make substantial progress, since
the thinking working people of England
see the scope Of the contest. Home
Rule is wanted, but no particular form
of government ms isisted on. only that
the people shall have homes not novels,
comfort in old age, not the poorhouse;
that the deer pastures shall feed cattle,
and that the emigrant ship shall no
more yearly bear away the best Of Ire
land youth and manhood.

SINCE poor John Swinton's retire.
ment from the field of journalism little
has been heard of him. It may not be
generally known among his admirers
that shortly after the collapse of his Ia
Dor paper he became totally blind. For
nearly year he has been an inmate of
a New York institution, and short
time ago a successful operation was
performed on one eye, AS soon as he is
strong enough the other eye will be
similarly treated. Swinton's many
friends will sympathize with him in his
affection, but will be pleased to learn
that there is grounds for the belief that
his eyesight will be restored.

PRESIDENT OLEVELAND's MESSAGE,

The message sent by President Cleve-
land to Congress last Thursday in re-
ference to the rejection of the fish
cries treaty by the Senate is an admira-
BILE state paper. 1t Is full statement
of the troubles that have existed in the
past and still exist between the govern
ments of the United States and Can
ada. The President also draws atten-
ton to the fact that Canada does not
show much gratitude for the fayors she
has received from the United States in
the past, and reference is also made to
the manner in which she has violated
treaties existing between the two gov
ernments.
AS the Senate has rejected the treaty
lately negotiated for the settlement and
adjustment of the differences between
the two countries he recommends im-
mediate legislation comforting power
upon che executive to suspend by pro-
clamation the operation of all laws and
regulations permitting the transit
of goods, ware and merchandise in bond
across or over the territory of the
United States to or from Canada. He
also recommends Legislation that will
give Canadian vessels navigating our
canals, precisely the same advantage
granted American vessels in Canadian
canals, and that both be measured by
the same rule of discrimination.
When the late treaty was presented
to the Senate for ratification it was not
expected that it would pass in its en-
tirety, but it was hoped that by amend
ment it would be moderated and passed
in such shape as to meet with the ap-
probation OF the majority of the citi-
zens of the United States. This would
have avsrted what now seems I'M
minent-commercia disaster to both
Canada and the United States.
President Cleveland in his mes
sage, rises above craftsmanship in the
matter. He was anxious that an un~
derstanding alike honorable to the
governments of the two countries should
be arrived at,but the Republican major
ity in the Senate refused to either ratify
the treaty or amend it III any way,
therefore they must now be held
responsible for any future CON-
plication that may arise respect
ing it. The President has demon
strated by his message that he will
protect the rights OF the citizens of this
country, no matter what obstacles a
bitter partisanship may throw in his
way.

of success in the coming State cam
