Speech by the British Premier.

Lord Salisbury. speaking in Liverpool,

yiction that Ireland was ungovernRble,
Rad directed their policy toward securing
the fultillment of that imagination. Glad

mon to England and all countries where
law prevailed. Gladstone had p~rophesied
that the conservatives would eventually
give home rule to Ireland, their defense of
the union being insincere. Let Gladstone
consider the spirit Of Unionists. man. Of
whom sank every party n personal con-
sideration to preserve the country against
Gladstonism. Never was the principle of
national union more sincerely held. The
Unionists were convinced that Ireland
would sooner or later become thoroughly
consolidated with Great Britain, n
peacefully and prosperously exist under the
same legislature and laws, paying the
same respect to law and In the

the speech was the dubious utterance re-

Liverpool is the strongest center OF the fair

congressional Autoblograpnies.

Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: 1t is
well known that the senator's and congress-
men write their own biographies that APP
pear in the Congressional Directory. This
fact makes them all the more interesting.
The statesmen are allowed in a general
way to say What they please, but there
are instances where the compiler of the
directory has to do some pretty
thorough pruning. One Arkansas CON
gresham wrote in answer to the
usual request What would have filed a
dozen pages OF the directory. He gave the
fufi history OF his and his wife's families,
the characteristics of his children, the
names OF the husbands and wives and
children OF those married, and introduced
several illustrated sketches OF incidents in
bear and bee and coon hunting. He intro.
duced q poem on Spring written by his
second Oldest son, gave the names OF two
young fellows, rivals for the hand OF one of
his daughter named Pink" and described
the distress he was suffering over the ques.
tion OF which she would choose. The com.
piler cut the biography" down to eighty
lines. A Kentucky congressman in his BIZ
ography described a stock farm owned by
him, named the horses, gave their pedi-
grees, records and prices. Another Ken
tuekian mentioned among other events OF
his %eventful life. the number OF fights he
had been in, n gave descriptions OF
two. in each OF which he had killed a man,
and gave the names of the
men he had slaughtered. One Ohio man
gave the number OF sheep he owned, the
fluctuations in the prices of wool in an
elaborate table, and introduced a strong
protest against a reduction OF the duty on
wool. all OF which was sacrificed. A con-
gresham from Iowa sent in his biography
in verse, and very bad verse, too. An
other from the same state stated that he
was living separate from his wife. but, in
a detailed statement, laid all the blame
upon her, and Appealed to his brother
congressman to overlook the matter, and
to the speaker not to allow himself to be
influenced by it in assigning him to com.
mittees.

the Rarped wire MonopoIx.

Recently the Washburn- Moen Manufac-
turing company, before Judge Shiras OF
the United States district court in Dg-
buque brought suit against the Beat-Em-
All Barb Wire Company OF Waterloo, Iowa.
for the infringement OF a patent issued in
1874 to Jos. F.. GIidden, in which Glidden
claimed as his invention the original barb
wire used in fences. The testimony con-
listed OF nearly a wagon load OF evidence
in the torri OF briefs. The case was close
ly contested to n finish. Judge Shiras on
the 9th rendered his decision. He held
that the second wire, twisted about the
fence strand for the purpose
OF holding the barb in place.
was an old device, being clearly
shown in a patent issued to Michael Kel-
ley In 1868, and that the mode of rom
structing the bark as shown in the Glidden
combination had been brought into use by
Alvin Morley of Delaware county. Iowa,
as early as 1859. Consequently the pat
emit issued to Glidden was void for want OF
novelty. The case will undoubtedly be
appealed to the United States supreme
court. but the decision OF Judge Shiras is
thought to ~foreshadow the final defeat
and overthrow OF this giant monopoly.
