MELVILLE E. STONE, one of the foun-
ders Of the Chicago Daily News, and q
radical free trader, is now in Europe.
In a recent letter to his paper, says:
They tell me here that previous to
the Union the linen and wooden factories
of Clonmel gave employment to $1,000
or 10000 people. The entire populs-
ton of the town now does not amount
70 over 1O;O00.FIt was one Of tflesbusiestF
towns in the three kingdoms; now, so
far az manufactures are concerned, it
lie one of the dullest. Inimical legisla-
ton on the part Of England drove one
after another Of the great mill owners
out of the business, to emigration or. to
poverty. Before the Union Irish in
dustrles we're protected and fostered by
the Irish parliament. The country wab
7prospsrouseif il. disoontented. After the
Union foreign competition came In and
silrnced the mills and factories. What.
ever 1t msy have done for other coun.
tries, or however wise it may be 70 re-
move the protective tariff lnsthe United
States, Ireland stands 4oday : terrible

THE CRASHING C. P.

The arrogance of that monopoly of
mOnOpolieS, the Canadian Pacific rail-
road, is becoming intolerable to the last
degree. Not content with crushing the
attempt made by the people of Mani
toba to free themselves from its bond
age in their efforts to build the Red
River railroad, it has now taken eff
fective measures to hold them in fur
Their subsection by preventing them
from accepting the aid which American
roads are ready to extend them in the
matter of Eastern grain shipments.
Though by hauling their wheat to the
boundary line and shipping it from
bonded warehouses over American
roads to market they can secure much
more reasonable rate on their wheat
than the Canadian Pacific will allow
them, and can thus secure something
like living profit, Canada's giant rail
way monopoly has taken steps which
have effectually checkmated the Mani
toba farmers.
BY the exercise of influence with the
Dominion government it has obtained
an order preventing the Canadian GUS
toms officers from issuing the necessary
certificates required to legalize the ship
ment of wheat in bond. Though such
shipments of other goods are daily made
on international railways and though
the government accords the privilege of
shipments in bond from the United
States to Canada, these facts weigh not
at all with either the Dominion govern
ment OF the Canadian Pacific railway.
They are not Influenced by cOnsidera-
tons of justice or business, but are
swayed simply by desire to squeeze
the people of the Canadian Northwest
to the limit of endurance.
The question is one which might we'll
be brought to the attention of this gov
eminent with view to official actions
in the premises and, if it is, it is to be
hoped that energetic measures will be
taken to break the power of the Cana
dian Pacific MONOPOLY.

plants board. Yet I presume the
crowd on the steamer thought it the cor
rect thing for gentlemen in care of an
elephant to appear in their shirt sleeves.
So our dignity was maintained.
"The name of Kiralfy, aided, / be-
lieve, by telegram from the manage
ment to the captain of the boat. secured
our transportation, and fondly fancied
that my woes were over. But let no
one put his trust in an elephant! BAN
boo was reserying his master stroke for
the finish. In the streets of Boston we
met car. The elephant deliberately
killed the horse with one blow of his
trunk; the car was overturned; the pas
sengers tainted, screamed and ran;
a short parley was held with
the police, which resulted in
a final triumphant procession
to the Kiralfy barn. First, a very
long distance ahead walked squad of
police; next came Bamboo, his keeper
and business manager; next, at re-
spectful distance in the rear, dozen re-
porters; last. several thousand of the
miscellaneous population of Boston anx-
iOus to do us honor.
And never rejoiced so in my life as
when, thirty minutes later, ceased to
be business manager for all elephant"

THE HOUSE COMMITTEES.

Whatever individual members of con-
gress may think of Speaker CARLIsLE's
committee appointments, the country at
large will be satisfied with his work.
He has shown rare judgment and discre-
ton in the matter, and the whole people
will now feel encouraged in the belief
that good work is to be done by this
congress.
Minnesota has no right to complain of
the treatment her representatives have
received at the hands of the speaker.
The appointment of Mr.. RICE on the
appropriation committee is an honor
rarely bestowed upon new member.
The compliment is worthily merited,
and it is likewise just recognition
of the Importance of the Twin
Cities. While it had been hoped that
Judge WILSON'S legal abilities would
be recognized by assigning him to a
place on the judiciary committee, he
has been so highly honored by appoint
ment to two other scarcely less impor-
tant committees there will be no dispo-
Sition on the part of his constituents to
complain. Judge MACDONALD is com
fortably provided for by being named on
two committees of dignity and import
ance, where he will have ample oppor-
tunity to exhibit the splendid stuff that
is in him. Mr.. NELSON retains his
place on the committee on Indian af-
fairs, where he has already rendered
signal service to the country.

PROVIDE FIRE ESCAPES.

That portion of the report of Building
Inspector JOHNSON relating to the in
adequate provision of fire escapes on
manufactures and other buildings
should receive special attention. 1t
seems that there are establishments in
the city employing an aggregate num-
Der of 1919 people, in connection with
which there are no fire escapes what
ever. Should fire start on the lower
floors of these buildings and burn away
the stairways, a majority of the em-
ployeS would almost certainly lose their
lives.
The fire escape, precarious though it
is even at best, affords the only possible
precaution where buildings are not fire
proof. Their utility was well illus
trated in the late fire in the Union
BLOCK, on which occasion many workmen
descended safely from the top story to
the ground upon one fire escape. If,
then, employers are so blind to the
safety of their employees as to neglect
the provision of fire escapes, measures
should be taken by law to compel them
to take all necessary precautions.
Though the st. Paul fire department
has made an excellent record in the saw
ing of life and property, it should have
its work rendered as easy as possible by
the cooperation of citizens, and moth
ing is of more material assistance to the
firemen than numerous and Well-cOn-
Structed fire escapes.

FOraker'S Mistake.

New York Times
We suppose it is probable that Gov.
Foraker really believes that the state
ments he made regarding the effect of
the reduction of the duty on wool in
1883 are true. But they are O., and no
one who takes the trouble to examine
the facts accessible to all well-informed
men will think that they are. Mr.. For
aker says 1.-The reduction of the tariff
on wool by the act of 1888 has already
produced to the wool growers of this
state (Ohio) the disastrous consequences"
shown by table that puts the decrease
III the number of sheep at over l ,000, 900,
and of their value at "a, 412,616. Now,
as matter of fact, there was almost no
decrease in the tariff duty on wool by
the act of 1888. The ad valOrem duty
was taken off, but the price of wool has
since fallen enough to bring up the duty
to almost exactly its former figures. 56.2S
per cent on clothing woods in 1888 and
56.1O per cent in 1886. For the four
years 1881 to 1888, inclusive, there was
SIG, 772, 600 worth of clothing wool i'm
ported at an average duty of 55 per cent.
In the following four years the imports
were S16,377, 900 Tor S4O0, 200 less), at an
average duty OF nearly 81 per cent.
Obviously the trif1ing decrease of duty
produced no increased imports, and had
nothing to do with the falling off of
the number or the value of sheep in
Ohio. Gov. Foraker, ignorantly or pur-
pOSely, is making false statements.
