FROM wREIcnEnNEss TO THRIFE


The rich people of Manchester, Eng
land, have adopted plan for the amelio-
ration of the Irish which, beyond all
question, is as generous as IL Is practical,
A year ago, correspondent of the Man
chester Guardian who was travelling in
Conemarn, saw in the sea coast hamlet of
Carna the lowest stage of misery and
restitution that he had mel in the course
of his wanderings. He sent to his paper
letter containing a touching appeal in
behalf of the wretohed inhabitants of the
place. This appeal did not fall on barren
ground. The Manchester capitalists
raised a considerable sum OF money.
Instead of spending il in charity they
planted industries in the place. A mar
ket for the goods manufactured was
created in Manchester. The men, women
and children found employment in these
industries. The girls were taught how to
knit and how to weave, and now have
constant work in making caps, stockings
and underwear. Boats were prov ded
for the men who preferred to follow the
occupation OF fishermen. These have
established thriving trade in potted
Ash aud Holsters and smoked fish IN the
Liverpool market. Roads are being con
struoted, and numbers of men lave found
employment in that public. improve
ment. All this was done one year ago
and in that short time the aspect of the
place has completely changed. From a
dirty, squalid, unhappy place it has been
changed into happy and thrifty village.
There is no trace OF the past Carna to be
seen in the Carua of to-day. The exhi-
bition OF spirit of like beneyoenoe and
fraternal feeling toward the Emerald isle
by the people of England would be the
surest solution Of the present complex
political problem. If the economical
question in ireland were properly ad-
justed the political question would not

NATURALIZATION LAWS.

With the rapid increase Of immigration TO orr
shores, and the facilities of modern travel abuses
of the generous privileges afforded by our natur
alization laws call for their careful revision The
easy and unguarded manner in which certificates
of American citiz 'nShip can now be obtained, has
induced a class, unfortunately large, 20 avail
themselves of the opportunity to become absolved
from allegiance to their native lands and yet by
foreign residence to escape any just duty and con
UibutOu of service to the country of their pro
posed adoption. Thus, while evading the duties
of citizenship TO the United States, they may make
prompt claim for its national protection and de-
mand its intervention in their behalf International
complications of a serious nature arise, and the
correspondence of the state department discloses
the great number and completely Of the questions
which have seen raised. our laws regulating the
issue of passports should be carefully revised
and the institution of q central bureau Of regstra
ton at the capital is again strongly recommended
by this means fun particulars of each case of nat
uralization in the United States would be secured
and properly indeNed and recovered, and thus
many cases Of spurious citizenship would be de
tected, and unjust responsibilities would be
avoided.

coNsrIAR SERVICE.

The reorganization for the consular service is a
matter Of serious importance to our national IN

bent to live in comfort and so distributed as 10 Sc

made by me, that the appropriations for the

are permitted to treat as personal perquisites

inspection should be instituted and that Limited

BOUNDARY DISPUTE
II Is with sincere satisfaction that | am enabled
to advert to the spirit of good neighborhood and

Mexican authorities in their share OF the task OF

As authorized by the congress preliminary steps
have been taken for the assemblage at this CAPT
raj during the coming year, on the representatives
of South and Central American states, together
with those of Mexico, Hayti and San Domingo to
discuss sundry important monetary and CONNER
cal topics excepting in those cases where from
reasons of contiguity of territory and the exist
ence of @ border line incapable of being guarded
reciprocal commercial treaties may be found ex-
pedient
It is believed that commercial politics inducing
freer mutual exchange of products can be most
advantageously arranged by independent but CO
operative legislation. In the mode last mentioned
the control Of taxation for revenue will be al
ways retained in our hands unrestricted by
conventional agreements with the governments
In conformity also with congressional authority,
the maritime powers have been invited to confer in
Washington in April next upon the practicability
Of devislug uniform rules and measures for the
greater security of life and property at sea. A
disposition to accept on the part of a number of
the powers has already been manifested, and if
the cooperation of the nations chiefly interested
shall be secured, important results may be conf
IDENTIFY anticipated.
TONNAGE DUTIES.
The act OF June 20, 1884, and the acts amenda
tory thereof In relation to the tonnage duties have
given rise 10 extended correspondence with foreign
nations with whom have existing treaties of

the imposition Of the duties referred to. These
questions are important, and | shall make them
the subject Of a special aud more detailed com

viii Rebuild the Works.

P1TTsBURG, Dec. 1S-The cooper shop
of the Standard Oil company, a brick build
ing $50 feet long by ninety feet wide,
situated on Fifty-ffth street, burned to-
night, intailing a loss of $4,000. The fire
started in the firing house shortly after 9
o'clock and spread so rapidly that for a
finery adjoining would be destroyed, but
the excellent service of the fire department
prevented a great conf1agration. During
the fire the brick walls fell, burying two
tiremen, David Thompson and Frank Goats.
They were seriously but not fatally injured.
The destruction of the shop will throw
several hundred men out of employment.
1t will be rebuilt Immediately.

"Chief." Forepaugh's Savage Elephant. is
Put to Death.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 17.-The winter
quarters of Forepaugh's circus was the
scene yesterday afternoon of an execution
not ordered by the courts. "Chief," the
big elephant, was condemned to die. He
had become entirely unmanageable and it
was found difficult to keep the great strong
brute chained up. He tried to kill his
keeper Saturday and it was decreed that
he should be destroyed. Yesterday after
noon moose was placed around his neck.
1t was made in the middle of piece of
wire rope half an inch thick and ten yards
long. 1t was ticklish thing to get the
moose on the elephants neck but it was
finally pulled over his trunk and placed
close behind his ears. Then "Basil' and
Bismarck" two powerful elephants, were
attached to the ends of the rope. At young
Adam F0repaugh's command the two ele-
phant executiOners were prodded and the
line was drawn tight around "Chief's"
throat. Another signal was given and the
elephants applied all their power. "Chief'
tOttered and fell and was dead in twenty
seconds. "Chief" was an Asiatic elephant,
ten and half feet high and weighing
10000 pounds.

Mary's Gone With a DON.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-In 1885 when
George Cooper asked Mary A. Cooper to
become his wife she asked him if there
was any negro blood in his veins. He
visited her for year, but she had been be-
guiled into the belief that his silhouette
appearance was due to Portuguese extrac-
tion. He then positively assured her he
was white all through and they were mar.
ried. Hearing he had relatives in Phila-
delphia she latterly decided on making a
visit to the home Of her mother-in-law. On
inquiring for that individual there she was
astOunded to find herself in the embrace of
anegress, who acknowledged her daughter
for this city, where she began proceedings
for the annullment OF the marriage on the
ground Of deception and a referee has just
decided in her favor.
