A number of prominent Irish Amer.
leans held a meeting at Chicago last
week for the purpose of advancing the
interests of Ireland and the Irish race.
Their plan is to found republic in
Lower California, Chill or Peru, and
establish there fourishing colony.
The object is nice one and all true
friends of Ireland's cause would like to
see it affected, but there are difficulties
to be encountered which makes the
plan appear visionary and quite impos-
sible. It would be an immensely ex-
pensive undertaking and just now
money in the hands of Ireland isn't
like unto the sands of the sea. They
would most likely fail ere they were
half commenced.
The two Dakotas harvest one thir-
tieth part of the crop Of, the world;
they marketed 52.600,OOo bushels in
1888, and it is estimated that their out
put for this year will exceed IS, 600, 900.
They contribute about sS,00O,oO0 4
year to the silver and gold products of
the country. And the lead industries
of the four States await favorable de-
cision from the Secretary of the Treas
ury to assume the first position in the
world. Nearly $4,000, 900 in agricul-
tural products are yearly contributed
to the wealth of the Nation by the four
States Of whose present and future Mr..
Cox spoke. With the impulse which
Statehood must give to enterprise of all
sorts it is impossible to guess what
their population and wealth may be at
the end Of the next decade.

him in the United States Senate. Now
that the old man is dead the younger
Cameron refuses to accept the position
again and the people are willing to ac-
cept his refusal. AS long as he lived

A petition for the pardon of the Youn-
ger brothers has been formally present
ed to the governor and Mr.. Merriam
has promised to give it his attention.
We hope it will be nothing more. He
should not yield to it even if the signers
are the most prominent people in the
state, nor should he fail in the courage
of his own conviction because the pc
tition is signed by such men as Gov.
Marshall and the ex-warden of the pen
itentiary.

Congressman, delivered the address al

Roy Hickman was born June 4,
1887 died May 8, 1889; aged one
year II months and 8 days. He
has gone to meet mother who
preceded him a little less than four
weeks. Gone to share in the per-
feet bliss with him who said, "Suf-
fer little children to come unto me

To see this child and know him
was to love him. He is, another

Discriminating Charity.

The great calamity at JOhnstown
has caused all the latent sympathy
of a generous public to spring into
active life. While this is all right
there should be a reasonable limit
to the effort. The relief of suffer-
ing, and the care and comfort of
the disabled is q work that appeals
to the public and should be re-
sponded to. but the suggestion to
replace the destroyed property is q
work with which public charity
has nothing to do.
The sufferers from the great dis
aster in the Conemaugh valley are
no better and have no higher claim
than the many thousands of un-
fortunates throughout the land
who are bearing their woes in sill

Work and Wages.

Less work and lower wages must
be accepted as the inevitable result
of the increased Offering of foreign
goods in our market.--HarriSon's
Letter of Acceptance.
Ten months ago nearly every
Protection organ in the country
published this extract at the head
of its editorial columns as a warn
ing to American workingmen not
to vote to disturb the existing
tariff. The amount of work to be
done in the United States and the
rate of wages to be pail was thus
plainly assumed to be dependent
upon the volume of foreign i'm
portations, which is regulated ac-
cording to the teaching of the pro-
tectionists by the extent of the
tariff duties upon foreign produc-
tions. If the tariff was maintained
foreign goods would be kept out,
VIC iaDOi Woulu DC uOHS dV uOiht,
and consequently there would be
plenty of work and wages would
be high. On the contrary, any
lowering of tariff duties that would
permit an increase of foreign i'm
portatinns would reduce the vol
ume of work and deprcss wages.
The progress of events the
past six months has already dis
credited these words of Gen. Har-
rison and the finely constructed
theory of the protectionists. The
country voted to maintain the
high-tariff, not duty has been re-
duced to the extent of single
cent, and yet we are already far
advanced in period of universal
depression, of wage reductions, of
low-priced products of farm and
factory, of scarcity of work, of busi-
ness failures and and distress.
Every argument of the protection
lists throughout the campaign has
been belied within seven months

The GOyernOrship.

So far as the administration of
the affairs of the State are concern
ed we believe any Democrat would
be an improvement onsthe present
administration While this is true
in the abstract, it is quite another
matter as to who shall head the
the Democratic ticket. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that the Democracy
will go before the people with a
platform indentical with the
National platform of last year, upon
the question of tariff and revenue
reform, and the candidate must be
in full accord with such platform.
The Democracy cannot permit
themselves to be forced into false
or equivocal position on this ques-
ton without losing prestage.
The axiom, that, government
shall not tax the subject or citizen
to a greater extent than is necess-
AIRY to fully execute its functions,
is so palpable that argument on
this score would appear superfiuons
and the abandonment of this doc
trine by the Democratic party in its
platform would tend to weaken it
in the opinion of the thinking citi-
zen, and to place candidate be-
fore the people who is not fully in
accord with the platform would
be sheer folly. Our nominee must
be q thorough tariff reformer.

No Punishment too Severe.

The following dispatch we clip
from the Columbus Post. If the
villains can be caught no punish
ment can be too severe.
Pomeroy, June 5.-Monday night
while services were being held in
the Free Methodist church, a mile
back of this city, an attempt was
made to blow up the building. A
lot Of powder had been placed un-
der the church, to which fuse was
attached and lighted, but fortunate
ly it missed fire. Fully half peck
of blasting powder was taken out
from under the building after the
attempt was discovered by the
congregation. At least 100 persons
weuld surely have been killed had
the powder been ignited.

IT has always been claimed by
his political enemies that Presi-

al magnetism nor popularity, and
that when he laid down the insig-
mia of the great Office of Chief
Magistrate he would quickly drop
into both political and individual
obscurity. How we'll these esti-
mates have stood the test and these
predictions been borne out have
been shown the past month, when,
quietly appearing before the popu-
lace in the station of a private citi-

WRITING to THE Posi-, Il CORES

WRITING to THE Posi-, Il cores
pOndent says:
"In Wayne county, Ohio, potatoes
are selling at five cents a bushel.
That is encouraging for the farmer.
In Lancaster, the best grades of
sugar are retailing at ten cents a
pound. That is good for the work
ingmen. It's wonderful what an
advantage "Harrison and prOtec-
ton" is to the toiling farmer and
the Woodworking laboring men.
Sugar, whiskey, tobacco, wheat
lard and coffee trusts are nowhere
beside such protection.
These points, most of which are
familiar to the general reader, show
the tendency of the times under the
system which has been heralded as
the remedy for all the ills of busi-
ness in this country. "Harrison
and protection" were to give us
prosperity. They have rather
strengthened the trusts and increas-
ed the firmness of their hold upon
the country, at the same time re-
the wages of working peo-
pie and placing them at the mercy
of the monopolies. The great ma
jority of the people are satisfied
that as remedy for business ills
Harrison and Protection" are
monumental failures.-Cors Post.

THE Democratic party, from the
time it had platform, has insisted
that "taxation must be limited to
the needs of a government econo-
mically administered" Why?
Because one step beyond that is
taking property from one person
for the benefit of another. No "de-
velopment," no strides to national
greatness" can justify this taking
of private property for the gain of
a private person or of privileged
class.
A scale of tariff duties is a mat
ter of detail, but the principles upon
which it should be arranged are
perpetual. The Revolution 177G
was a free trade Revolution; a re-
fusal of the colonies to submit long
er to Il system of taxation that "pro-
tected" the English merchants and
manufacturers at our expense. And
to-day the Democratic party, up
holding the principles of Jefferson,
Henry, Franklin, and Jackson, de-
clares that the system of taxation
that imposes peculiar burdens on
one section, on one person, for the
benefit of capital, and not the gov
ernment, is an outrage against lib
erty as obnoxious to the COnstitu-
ton as the Stamp Act was obnoX-
ious to the principles set forth in
the Declaration of Independence.

Farmers in Oregon can find
no market for potatoes, and the
Oregonian says that many farm
ers are literally throwing potatoes
away. Mr.. TyszkiewicZ, of Bach
elor Island, recently dumped $50
sacks ofas fine Burbanks as ever
were seen, into the Columbia River"
The same potato tale is heard
over many parts of the East. 1t is
all owing to the Mills bill, which
the wicked Democrats didn't pass
last year and which, as a matter
of fact, didn't touch the duty on
potatoes that Republican Congress
fixed at Is cents per bushel some
years ago to keep the price from
getting down to the British free
trade basis. Evidently, over in
Scotland they have to hire men to
throw their potatoes away but
owing TO the operations of the 'bene-
ficent principle it dosen't cost the
American farmer a cent to fire his
potatoes on the dump heap.
