DAVITT DEFIES ROME.
Denials Fail to Rob the Rescript of a
Political Aspect.

Denials Fail to Rob the Rescript of a
Political Aspect.
LONDON, May l3.-Michael Davitt, in a
speech at Liverpool to o-day, said that Irish
men would not be an iota behind O'Connell
in resenting the Papal rescript. Ireland
had done more for the church among the
people throughout the English speaking
world than any other country, and if this
was Rome's gratitude, Irishmen would
be likely to ask themselves questions
in the matter. Without wishing his
remarks to be construed as an attack on, or
as showing disrespect to the church, he
said that whether the rescript was
intended as political pronun-
ciamento or not, it would be
regarded, and had already been Lailed as
such by every coercionist paper, from the
Times to the meanest Unionist rag.
He was confident that the rescript had
added three months to Mr.. Dillon's SEN
| tence. Irishmen We're compelled to believe
that the rescript was due to English intri-
CUES, and Ireland would not accept political
dictation from Rome.

The Moniteur says that Mr. Parnell, being
Protestant, is incompetent to be a spokes-

Gus adhesions to the rescript coming from
the Irish laity and clergy prove that Mr..
Parnell is ignorant of the sentiment of the
people.
The OSSerUdtore makes similar''remarks.

Wisconsin,s Foundation.


Mr.. EDIToR:-In your issue of
March 20 occurs the following:
According to Secretary Timme's
estimate of nationalities in Wisconsin,
this is overwhelmingly a foreign pop
ulated state. He estimates the pres
ent population .S9l .729; of this num-
Der he puts native born 100000, Ger
mans 1880; Scandinavians 1913. $50;
Irish ll7.Tg4. The balance is distrib-
uted among eight other nationalities. =
Taking it for granted that your fig
ures tally with the Secretary's esti-
mate the population of the state has
increased since the census of 1885
320, 3l6, over 81, 600 more than in any
previous five years of its history.
While it would be gratifying to feel
that our state was growing as rapidly
as the figures indicate, in the absence
of positive proof, which even the Sec
rotary cannot furnish, the estimate
will be regarded as entirely too large.
Furthermore the estimate with re-
gard to the foreign population is mis-.
leading. The census of 1885 gives the
entire population as 1903, Alb, OF
which LOGS, 423 are given as native
and 493, 900 as foreign born. OF the
latter 265, 7j6 are put down as of Ger
man birth. The query is, how does
the Secretary succeed in reversing
the ratios of the native and foreign
population so suddenly and making
the state twO-thirds foreign, instead
of vice versa, as the census shows!
lie has, beyond doubt, included in his
estimate not only those of forei "a
birth, but also those of foreign parent.
age, and made an exceedingly liberal
estimate.
lie seems to overlook the fact that
one born in the U. S. isanative of this
country without regard to kith or kin
and that our free institutions are able

scendants of those who come to Us
from abroad into distinctive Ameri 3aI

Lake Minnetonka.

Among the numerous charming
lakes with which the State of Mime
sofa is dotted so thiekIy, probably the
one best known-at least to the crowd
of summer toursts-is Lake Mime
tonka. Probably its vicinity to the
cities of st. Paul and Minneapolis
from either of which il is but a short
ride by almost hourly trains on three
lines Of railway. has been a potent
factor in bringing it to notice. and yet
its native beauty deserves all the
praise that has been bestowed upon it.
Consisting of two lakes Of exceedingly
irregular outline. varying in breadth
from a quarter of a mile to two miles
or more. and some twenty miles in
length, broken by wooded headiands
and cool grassy wales. Minnetonka is
not spread out before the visitor in
one picture. but every change in point
Of view reveals some new beauty

As co-laborers in school work. ] desire
to enlist your sympathy and cooperation
IN endeavoring to get the place OF resi-
dence and names of parents and guardi-
ans Of deaf children in the state who
have never yet been brought within the
reach Of an education. There are un-
doubtedly many deaf children through
out the state who have never been in
school, Some are kept at home by in
duigent parents, some on account Of pow
erty, some for their works sake, and
others because their parents do not
know there is such a school in the state.
Many Of these children and their par
ents are of foreign birth; and | wish
them to know that the State of WiscOn-
sin here provides a Free Education, NOR
al, mental and manual, for all children in
the state of proper school age, who, on
account of deafness, cannot get an edu-
cation in the public schools. And to
the end that | may be placed in COM
munication with friends OF children
needing such an education, | would sug
gest that you take occasion to call the
attention Of your teachers to any isolated,
neglected, ignorant deaf children who
may be growing up in your own town or
county.
BY informing me in regard to them,
and pointing all such to this school, You
will be Instrumental in comforting a great
favor upon them as individuals, and in
enlarging the educational work and in
telligent citizenship of our great state.
Please ask teachers to inquire Of their
scholars for deaf children living i'll their
districts, and send their names and ages
with the addresses Of their parents to me.
Two hundred and twenty have been in
