Ice Water I'm RraziI.

THE use of ice water In this country is
universal" said an old doctor. but in
Brazil it is but little used. 1t was
thought that factory for producing arti-
fetal Ice would be very profitable there,
where the temperature is very high An
English syndicate constructed the neces-
sary works, but found that the natives
would not touch ice water. Then, to
tempt their palates by creating an appe-
tite for 1t by constant use, the company
placed free tanks Of Ice water upon thu
street corners Of the cities. It was a
novel plan, and the fruits Of the invest.
ment are being borne The use of ice
water is increasing, but 1t is not yet a
universal beverage. ."--Chicago Herald

When the western man goes east he car
ries the consciousness of playing great
part in the making of an empire; his hori-
zon is large; but he finds himself sur
rounded by an atmosphere of indifference
or non-comprehension of the prodgious-
ness OF his country, of incredulity as to
the refinement and luxury of his civiliza-
tion; and self-assertion is his natural de-
fense. This longitudinal incredulity and
swagger is a curious phenomenon. Lon

Mr., Blaine attracted crowd to the
Polo grounds In New York on Saturday
night and was received with enthusiasm,
but his speech was not magnetic. He said
nothing about trusts, retaliation or free
whisky, and the carefully prepared essay
on the tariff that he delivered was cold
and dull. 1t bristled, of course, with
audacious Misrepresentation of history,
but few of his auditors knew or cared
anything about that. They went to hear
fiery onslaught on the Democratic party
and were disappointed Whether he has
been muzzled by the Republican national
committee or his intellectual powers are
falling, 1t is plain that the Blaine of this
campaign is not the political force he has
been in past years, and that those who
have expected him to snatch victory from
the jaws Of defeat will be disappointed.

Plain Talk From Bishop Ireland.

The public has before heard of this good
Catholic bishop in his field of work in the
West, in behalf of Temperance and restric-
tive measures against the liquor traffic. The
lecture by RI. Rev Bishop Ireland of st.
Paul before loo people in st. Johns
Church, that city gives his words as fol-
lows 1t is my Judgment that nothing is
destined to elevate the Irish people and
Catholic Church more than this total absti-
nence movement. Make Irshmen tectota-
ers and you make the greatest people on
earth. A new era is dawned for the Irish
race, for ireland sober is Ireland free. Out
of the SO Nationalists in Parliament 40 are
teetotalers. Here the Irshman is peculiarly
fortunate. There is no prejudice against his
faith or nationality. The American people
look to the irish element for help and sue
cor. Where socialistic and communistc at
tempts have been made the Irish have been
on the right side of law and order. But
while some lrishmen have succeeded here to
lofty positions there have been too few for

The publication of Mr.. Blaine's letter
caused genuine sensation here. A Z.
Wilson, who came within $50 votes of de-
feating Caruth for Congress at the last cleo
ton. is the Blaine leader. He said: II am
sorry. 1t takes away our greatest general,
and wanted il TO be the Old fight over again.
While Mr. Blaine is undoubtedly sincere,
think the convention will nominate him any
how"
Superintendent James f. Buckner, of the
Board of Trade, ex-collector of internal reve-
nue., said Il think Mr.. Blaine's letter is
patriotic and sincere. He knows that he can
have the nomination with swing if he wants
it, and he believes the Republicans on the
Protection issue can win.
"Mr. Joseph Medill, editor OF the Chica-
go Tribune. was asked regarding Mr..
Blaines letter of declination to Mr.. Jones
of the National Committee. In my opinion.
said he, lit merely relieves Mr.. Blaine from

Give Ireland a Chance.

The debates which have taken place in
the British House Of Commons since the re-
opening of Parliament have tended to
show the Justice Of the Irish cause, and
the striking tyranny Of the present Eng
fish government towards a long oppressed
and suffering people. Salisbury, Balfour.
and Harrington, are showing themselves
to great disadvantage before the liberty
loving Of all lands, more fitting agents of
the IIapsburg dynasties of former periods,
than the official representatives of great
and christian Anglo-Saxon people. There
is no doubt that the English public is kept
in large degree Of ignorance a. to the
opinions and sympathies of the great
majority Of the enlightened and humane
people Of other lands touching the meas
urcs and policy Of the English government
in Irish affairs. We entirely agree, as do
vast majority of the American people
with the following expressed by the san
Francisco Alta:
The attempt to promote English interests
in ireland by the imprisonment and oppres-
sion Of O'Brien has been a dismal failure
At this time in the history of the world no
civilized people can be efficiently restrained
by fear in matters Of individual liberty and
government. The American revolution raised
the standard of certain inaienable rights, the
enjoyment of which is entirely consistent
with good and orderly government.
Our Republic has survived into its second
century an example of the consistency of
these rights with progress, prosperity, happi-
ness, and a government strong enough to
defend itself against conquest from abroad
and dsintegraton at home Revolving against
their denial to us. we have shown that a
written constitution, preservative of the
rights of a minority, can confer and withhold
powers to secure balance which promotes
liberty AMI national greatness.
Why not try the Irish people by giving
them the English constitution? 1t lis what we
at first wanted and had it been given to US we
would probably have gone no farther. fav-
| ing tried something better, no power could
! drive us backward to that. Gladstone has
tried to put the English and Irish perple in
harmony by process which involves less
sacrifice than England made in the Parlia-
mentary union with Scotland and it is strange
! that the Tories should prefer to use the
| prison and the gallows a people who have
for so many centuries shown a spirit uncon-
querable by violence fear or oppression"
