THE IRIsH-AMERICANS

Montreal True Witness and Catholic Chronicle
1t is generally conceded by those who
understand American politics that Irish
voters of New York hold the balance of
power in the Presidential election. 1t
rests with them absolutely to say wheth-
er Cleveland or Harrison shall be the head
of the greatest nation in all creation, for
another four years. An awful RESPONSE
bilitv rests with those who thus control
the destinies of sixty millions of their
fellow-men. Here, then, taking in the
full meaning of the situation, we say let
the Irish voters of New York cast their
ballots solidly for the Republican candi-
dates. We know that it is in the interest
of Canada, and of England, that Cleve-
land should be reelected. We also know
that commercial advantages, of the most
valuable kind TO Canada, depend on the
election of Mr. Cleveland, and that the
downfall of the tory party here will be
the anticipated result of Democratic sue
cess. Still, we say that higher consider
ationS- considerations suggested by the
fact that British toryism reioices in the
prospect of victory for Cleveland must
urge every thinking Irishman to vote the
Republican ticket.

REFUSED HIS SALARY.

A GOVERNOR OF IDAHO WHO wOULDN'T T
TAKE THE MONEY lie HADN'T EARNED.
W. Z Curtis in Chicago News.
Another distinguished son of Keokuk
is her present Mayor, Mr.. Irwin, who
was guilty Of an act not many years ago
which, if he had been tried for it by a
Jury of offfceholderS, would have con
signed him to lunatic asylum for the
rest Of his life He awakened an un-
speakable horror throughout the entire
land 1t occurred in this way: Presi-
dent Arthur appointed him Governor
Of Idaho. He went out there and took
his oath of office and remained awhile
Then business matters called him home
and detained him there for several
months. He found it inconvenient t.
90 back to Idaho. and finally resigned
his Office But that was not the worst
of it. The horrible part of the story re-
mains to be told. When the checks fol
his salary were sent him by Us. Treasu-
rer Wyman he returned them to Wash
ingtOn with a note explaining that he
had been absent from his post and had
not performed the duties of his office
and he could not conscientiously accept
any pay. The officers of the Treasury
stood aghast at such audacity. There
was no precedent for the act, and they
did not know what TO do. They return.
ed the checks to Mr.. Irwin. saving that
in the opinion of the accounting officers
he was entitled to the salary of his posi-
ton until his resignation was accepted
But he was ineXOTable. He declined tC
accept the mOney-which amounted tC
$1,000 or more-and asked that it be
turned into the Treasury or used toward
the payment of the public debt. Treas
urer Wyman did not know what to dc
with it, so he put it in the conscience
fund This called out a protest from
Governor Irwin, who declined to be
classed with repentant thieves and con-
science stricken swindlerS, and he sug-
gested that a new fund be started
to meet such cases as his Own-Of con-
tributions from officials who felt that
they were not entitled to their salaries
But the Treasury officials smiled at the
credulOuSneSS of the Governor of Idaho,
who seemed to think that his example
might be initiated and they were ight.
1t never has been.
| asked Nj Irwin about this little af-
fair to-day, and he laid the entire blame
upon his mother. He said she was with
him when he received the checks for his
salary, and she said: John, it is not
honest for you to keep that money, for
you have done nothing to earn it." And
he saw she was right. 1t was the old
story a woman tempted him and he
fell. The checks were sent back by the
next mail.

SHERMAN'S STATESMANSHIP.

SHERMAN'S STATESMANSHIP.
Boston Herald lMugwump)
John Sherman proved again that he
could be a statesman by his speech on
the fisheries treaty in the Senate on Tues
day. 1t is never quite safe to pass upon
speeches in Congress finally under the
meager reports that come by telegraph;
but there is enough in this one to show
that Mr. Sherman was at his best in what
he said He is the first Republican who
has treated the subject in other than the
spirit of the most narrow partisanship.
Whatever may appear in fuller version
of his discussion, there are points on a
higher plane here in which Mr.. Sherman
has won distinction.
We have always given him credit for
the capacity to do this thing. and gladly
we recognize that he has done it in this
case. Mr.. Sherman is one of the few in
public life who has the capacity for the
highest craftsmanship. The fact is not
generally understood, perhaps, but is
none the less true, that he is greatly the
superior of Senator Edmunds alike in
knowledge and in comprehensive capac-
ity in this respect. Mr.. Sherman can al
most always be depended upon to eyince
this ability and usefulness when he is
not a candidate for President.

FIGURED PER CAPITA.

Cleveland Herald.
Under the protective wool tariff of
1867, which was in force until 1884, this
country came nearer to producing its
own supply of wool than during any
other period of the nations history. In
1910 the production of wool in this cOun-
try was 2.5 pounds per capita: in 1850,
2.7pOunds per capita;in 1860, 2.3pOunds;
in 1870, ~ pounds; in 1880, AZ pounds;
and in in 1884 over ) pounds. Since
the new wool tariff went into effect in
1884 the production Of wool has de-
creased until this year it will not exceed
260,000,000 pounds, or just about f
pounds per capita.
Under the protective wool tariff of
1867 the importation of woolen goods
per capita decreased From 1850 to 1860
the importation of wooden goods was
$1.09 per capita each year. From 1870
to 1880 the importation was only Sc
cents per capita.
These figures are taken from the re-
port of the Treasury Department on
'.Wool and Manufacturers of Wool for
1887, which we commend to the studi-
Gus perusal of all persons who feel an in
tereSt in this great industry. 1t knocks
the arguments of the free traders on the
wool question into a cooked hat, so to
speak.

FOLLOWING the example of the Buff
falo Ne'cS and the Syracuse Herald, who
have abandoned the cause of Cleveland
Democracy and declared for Harrison
and protection, the Rochester On. Y
VOlkSblDt has Withdrawn its support
from the free trade candidate. 1t not
only clearly perceives that the Mills bill
is a standing menace to the industries
of the country, but it finds in Mr..
Cleveland a sham reformer as well as a
free trader. 1t says that he has been
false to his implied pledges not to seek
a second term, and "has constantly and
with all reasonable means worked for
his denomination and he has succeeded" !"
Speaking of the tariff policy of which
Mr. Cleveland is the acknowledged ex-
ponent, the VoIkSJl0tt says: "The eco
nomical policy of the President is perni-
cious to the country and its industries,
and, above all, ruinous to the working
men of the North. The Mills bill, rep
resenting the principles laid down by
Mr. Cleveland in his message on the
tariff question, signifies nothing less
than the ruin of our industries" Thus
believing, this true representative of
German American sentiment is "com-
PEELED to oppose Mr.. Cieveland's election
to the last"

A CLEVER STUMP SPEAKER.

~
L. R. Meekins in Epoch.
a good instance of the factOtum's
cIeverness occurred in the campaign of
1884. He had been sent to a large town
in Ohio as one of the speakers at big
meeting to be held there. There were
so many noted men present that he came
at the end of the list, and as he arose to
speak brass band began to play in an
adjoining square and the audience COM
menced to flock to the music. He had
travelled a good distance to make that
speech, and he was not going to deliver
it to empty benches. So he jumped
toward the Chairman, shook his fist at
him, and told him that he thought that
he was a gentleman, but that Just
here the Chairman, amazed at such Ian
guage, arose and confronted the speaker.
Music no longer had charms for the peO-
pie. They thought they saw the pros
pect of a fight, and every man rushed
towards the stage. As soon as the fac
tOtum had the audience cOmpactly in
front of him he smiled blandly, begged
the -Chairman's pardon, and told his
hearers that he had come to that town
to make a good speech, and that he
didn't intend to be cheated out of their
attention by brass band that couldn't
half play. He carried his point, and al
most everything he said was applauded.

WHY.
Youths COMPANION

Youths Companion.
\ noted Sunday-schOol worker living
in Kansas was once asked to talk to the
children of Sunday school on the sub
ject of temperance. He is very earnest
in the cause, and wears bit of blue rib
bon as badge of his principles.
Rising before the school he pointed to
his bit of blue ribbon and said:
"Now, can any of you children give
me a reason why l am not a drunkard?'
There was no reply for moment; then
a childish little voice in the rear of the
room piped out:
cause this is a prohibition town"

HELPING THE RIGHT SIDE.

To help the right side is not only COM
mendable in general point of view, but
is judiciOus and prudent when that help
is enlisted in behalf of the right side of
the body, just over the lower ribs in the
region of the liver. The most efficient
help is afforded by HOstetters Stomach
Bitters, an anti-bilious medicine of in
comparable efficacy. InactiOn of the
liver is accompanied by constipation, sick
headache, furred tongue, nausea, occa-
sional vertigo, an unpleasant breath, yel-
lOwneSs of the skin and ball of the eye.
The author of these symptoms, liver com
plaint, routed by the bitters is accompan-
led by them in its flight. Fever and ague,
which always involves the liver, dyspep-
sia, rheumatism, debility and kidney
troubles are all maladieS to the early re-
lief and final cure of which this standard
medicine is adapted. Don't use it by fits
and starts, but Systematically, that its
full effects may result III a perfect res
tOration of health. 50 I'm.

That the consumption Of intoXica-

very apparent. Exactly why, we are not
prepared to state, but that prohibitive
legislation has nothing to do with it we
are quite certain, because where most

observation. and we have taken pains to
notice what is going on around us, that
the crowds that used to thrOng drinking
places at BeIlaire and Wheeling are
greatly lessened. Other gentlemen con

Is it because of an awakening to the
