secret meetings were public gather
ings and ,heirpurpose was openly and
boldly avowed. He tells of conversa-
ton Of compromising character that
never took place. He claims to have
been on terms of intimacy with men
W no never knew him-with men who,
if they met him at all, met him only
as casual stranger. That men like
ParnelI and Egan and John Dewey
and John Boyle .O'Reilly would sit in
secret conclave with a stranger is
story that carries with it its own con-
tradiction. Mr.. O'Reilly denies all
knowledge of the man. Mr. Egan
knew him only as an obtrusive stran-
ger. as hired spy is sure to be. Is
the word of honorable men to count
against that of man whose calling is
infamy-a spy? 1t will unless the
voice of the Euglish people demands
that Parnell shall not be condemned
on the testimony of the most malig-
nant liar of the nineteenth century,

Election Reform.

This is a subject that was well
considered by some of our ablest
statesmen years ago, one. OF whom.
was Benton who still liyes in the
memory OF Miss 'uri.
With the view of restoring to the
people the power to choose their own
candidates as we'll as to elect them to
office, without the Intervention of cau-
cuses and conventions which then, as
now, traded Us off to the best bidders
for nominations, Benton proposed
two elections to nominate and elect
candidates. The first to elect to Office
any one receiving the majority of the
votes polled. The second to determine
between the two who received the
hi CHEST and next highest vote for any
office.
Democrats have frequently urged in
substance similar reform, limiting
the number Of elections to one, aud
that one to the single object OF nomi-
mating candidates. Our legislative
bodies, however, have glided over it
as thing of no Importance, and in
contempt of its promoters. At the
November election, as warning to
the adherents OF the caucus dynasty
for place and power, many dlsfran-
c.lised Democrats revolted, and in the
nee by acclamation for governor bare
ly escaped through the smoke of bai-
tie with plurality of five thousand
less than the majority. Still that
powerful monopoly OF elections, seems
to reign supreme and palsy the hand
of legislative reform.
Instead of till enabling the people
to nominate their candidates for f-1iice
by direct vote ut the polls, the CLARK
bill" of English origin for the govern
ment of British subjects, looms up.
1t degrades the proud privileges OF cleo
tors to the stealthy secret baIlot, and
by absolute secrecy uuder the shield OF
law, encourages the traffic in votes
| und in the suppression OF The Gallot.
| If that bill is the measure Of reform
and the standard of our capacity aud
! character, the elective franchise is a
deiusion and we are impotent for sell
| government.
Our election law to the extent Of its
provisions, operates we'll. But it fails
| TO provide 1or two elections, one to
nominate candidates and one to elect
| them to office. The remedy for that
| defect is the reform we suggest ald
want, and 10 which no democrat can
object. 1t is the embodiment of denl-
ccracy and vital to the life of popular
elections and representive govern
/ nlent.
1t should be a general law TO nomi-
| nate candidates for office, governed by
the law to elect Gilicers and giving to
| the the man who receives the highest
vote of his party the nomination.

lie Car0n's Maiisant FaIsehoods.

The testimony of lie Calon befo, e
the Parnell Commission was intended
to discrcflit the Irish leaders bef re
the world, but in the end it will only
discredit the government whose paid
spy he was. In this country his
stories will not receive credence for a
moment. Every person who took an
interest in Parnell's visit to the United
Stat sand there were thousands OF
\ mericans, men Of the highest char.
acter, that did sO-knOws that his
ingenious stories are deliberate false
hoods concocted to earn the Wagas of q
hired jnfoTmer. THIS the Officials by
whom LIE Caron was hired know alsu
and it is the persistent use of this
mans faisehoods, knowing them to be
lies. that will bring shame to the Brit
isi Gov ernment.
II an ordinary court LIE Caron s
character would in itself be sufficient to
discredit his testimony. Before such
a tribunal as that over which Sir
James Hannen presides it is apt to be
received as possessing greater weight
than that Of honorable men. Not an
English newspaper to-day dares dis
cus5 the purchased folsehoods of this
scoundrel through fear of a political
commission organized to crush polit-
ical party. While a great wrong is
s,eing doiie to the Irish leaiers and
the Irish cause in the open day, the
Liberal press in England is muzzled.
Here is British commission created
by British Parliament arr"gating t0
itself prerogatives that no Parliament
would dare to assume. 1t tramples
upon the liberty OF the press and free
dom OF speech that it may not be said
that it is what it is-the creature of q
wicked Ministry listening patiently tC
purchased lies which the Ministry
supplies. Never before was there
such spectacle in a free country
government the real plaintiff and the
leaders OF political party and a who's
nation the defendants in pretended
action at law. In such cause before
such court the liar, LIE Coron, is af
forded every protection, while truth
can hardly hope for hearing.
That LIE Caron should have had t'it
interviews IN America with Parnell
Egan and others that he claims tt
haYe had is simply incredible. His

| Inc passion OF our Lord JeSu S
Christ, copied of a letter found in the
Holy Sepulchre Of our Lord in Jeru-

ora;ory in silver cross to st. Eliza
beth. queen of Hungary. st. Bridget
| and st. Matilda desired to know
some thing about his passion and par
ticular oration after which Jesus ap-
peared to them and spoke as follows:
"My dear children, know We the arm

80 times, they pounded my body 40

a remission of all their sins; I'd, they
shall not suffer the pains of purga-
tory; Sd, if they die before having
completed the Is years shall have the
advantage as if they were martyrs;
4th, I will descend from Heaven to
take his kindred to the fourth genera
ton and whoever shall carry the
prayer about them shall never be
drowned or get sudden death and
shall be free from all things; when
ever this is kept in a house there
shall be no concoit, and 40 days before
they die they shall see the Blessed
Virgin to pardon their sins, for this
/ left 6 days toward, and exercise
yourself with devotion and your alb
stinence and your people shall be
heaped with grace, and on the con-
trary those who don't believe in this
prayer, there will come to them
malediction and their children. I
will send hunger and pestilence and
poverty in proof of my anger; you see
the sign in the Heaven, thunder,
lightning and earthquake, and those
who say this prayer was not written
by Divine hands and coming from
the mouth of God, and those who con-
ceal it and not publish it to others
shall be cOndemed by the mouth of
God on the day Of judgment, and
those who publish it to others, though
their ms be as many as the stars in
the Heavens, God says they shall be
forgiven, if they are truly sorry for
them; if they injure their neighbor

could read or hear it read and preseve

cry time this Grafton is copied or re-
cited, I will save soul from purga-
