THE IRISH-AMERICAN.

Here is bit of good talk for Irishmen
which must afford food for reflection.
1t is an extract from the paper claiming
the largest circulation in the world
the London Times. After a discussion
of the home rule question in connection
with Irish immigration to the United
States, the Times very frankly says:
"In the light of this race prejudice,
this hostility to everything English, the
exodus of the Irishman from his native
land may not prove serious loss to
Great Britain; especially as his vote in
his adopted country is given almost in
variably for the free commerce upon
which the prosperity of the English peo-
pie so largely depends. This is the only
way in which the Irishman will ever do
anything for England"
This is the very thing pointed out by
Mr.. Blaine to an Irish-American in BoS-
ton Just before the election of Garfield in
1880. In this letter he said: ''The free
traders of England desire nothing so
much as the defeat of Garfield, and on
Monday next nine-tenths of the Irish
Americans will go to the polls and vote
just as these English monopolists wish
them to-"
After four years Of reflection, however,
the more intelligent Irishmen began to
see the truth of their position, and in
1884 a large number Of them forsook old
party associations and voted to protect
and dignity American labor Still a
larger per cent of them will vote the
same way next November.

Three Emperors in Three Months.

From the New York Herald.
Germany has had three emperors
within about one hundred days. The
bells tolled at the death of the aged
William in March, and their dull echo
had hardly died away when they We're
tolled a second time for Frederick.
The career Of William l. was like a
romance. His earliest recollectionS
were of bloodshed-an unequal struggle
between Prussia and Napoleon, flight,
defeat, dispair, an empty treasury and a
crushing debt imposed by the victor. He
had old-fashioned obsolete ideas about
the divine rights of kings, was con-
WINGED that his crown was the gift of the
Almighty and that ne was responsible to
the Almighty rather than to the people
for his use of authority. Brave enough
to excite the unbounded enthusiasm of
the Germans, not wise enough to see
that the drift of modern times is in the
direction of the masses, he was never in
close touch with them, and chafed
against and resisted their demands as
unwarranted encroachfnents.
Frederick his son, on the other hand,
seemed to be made of a different mould.
TO him the populace was worth conSid-
Grafton. and his few public acts were
prophecy that had he lived Germany
would have been industriously prosper
Gus, her energies bent toward the victor
les Of peace rather than the glcries of
war. He had the old Hohenzollern OBJ
stinacy not to be overcome either by the
diplomacy or the threats of Bismarck,
and certain clear convictions as to public
policy which promises to make his reign
memorable as that of a generous ruler,
not that of soldier. Under his regime
Europe would have had no war If it could
be averted with honor. Commerce would
have received new impulse. wealth in
creased, mills and manufactures multi
piled and legislative concessions been
made to people who have become rest
i've under imperial restrictions. With
William III, not yet thirty years old, it is
too early to predict the future. He is
every inch a soldier, with the fire of
youth and ambition in his veins,
naughty, autocratic and anxious TO make
a career. Not even Bismarck's adj
monitions suffice to restrain him, and
the opportunity which Europe just now
presents to such a man with a well
equipped army behind him is a serious
temptation. Complications may be
avoided by tact or increased by the lack
of it. The Iron Chancellor has his CON
fidence, and the shrewd and foxy old
diplomat may pilot his disciple over the
rough spots with safety. But the
Hohenzollern nature is hot, its i'm
patience when curbed proverbial, and its
dogged determination is only equalled
by It's courage.
The signs Of the times daring the next
few months VIII be watched with inter
est by every nation on the continent.

DEMOCRATS LEAVING THE PARTY

Every day brings news of Democrats
leaving the Democratic party, no longer
able to stand its free trade tendency and
its hostility to the Union soldier. A
late issue of the Point Pleasant West
Va Gazette contains very patriotic
and manly letter from prominent Dem
ocrat of that state, Major a. j. McGown.
in which he renounces his allegiance to
the Democratic party and gives his rea-
sons for leaving it. We print the letter
elsewhere, and it will be read with in
terest. 1t shows that the break has be-
gun, and that even in the height of its
power and influence, the Democratic
party cannot hold its members together.
1t will be land slide away from the old
Bourbon party before the campaign is
over. Major McCown has been one of
the leading Democrats of his state He
has represented his county in the legisla-
ture and has been offered especial henors
by his party friends, so that in leaving
the Democratic party now, he shows
that he is moved by conscientious princi-
pies alone.

STATE POLITICS.

The Commonwealth, referring to the
"Capital crowd" solemnly asseverates
that the ''old ring" must be busted: the
Capital sees but one 'ring'-the Baker
ring" 1t can hardly be true that both
papers are right and that there are two
state-house rings in Topeka. For one we
are about ready to collapse in despair
over this new revelation. The Capital
running the governor and the business
end of the supreme court; the Common
wealth standing in on state printing the
odd jobs of the various departments and
in with anybody else to throttle the
many tentacled octapus which grasps
and sucks and sucks and grasps every
thing that comes within forty miles of
the -house-that Is, everything that
proves either succulent or suckable,
which many things about that state
house are not. In the mean time there
Is no hope for the Republican party of
Kansas until this thing is settled one
way or the other, presumably the other
way.

1t Is not every man who can take up
the tariff subject and handle it abstractlv
or theoretically with any convincing
force to himself or to anyone else. The
treetrader so dilates upon his play of
words and so constantly dwells and en-
phasises and rolls the word free" under
his tongue that any man who knows
better hardly knows what answer TO
make. But there is a fact which falls
within the comprehension of every man
who has at all observed the run of things
IN this country, and that is, when the
Republican party came into control Of
the government, it found the government

industrial interests PROSTATE and bloody

Miss Susan B. Anthony says she is
willing to retire from active work as a
woman suffragist in favor of some one
younger. We've no doubt of it. Forty
years of fruitless labor in a hopeless
cause would, we should think, produce
'noughness in the most ardant devotee.
Nevertheless, we don't see how she can
be ''spore" from the service. The woman
suffrage cause without Susan would be
like the play of Uncle Toms cabin. with
Miss Celie left out. 1t will never do. Oh,
Susan, quit your foolin'.
