TIE 1.-THE war is still raging in Wales.
The exhorbitant demands of the estab
]ishment on o people who do not believe
in the established Church excite them
to resoIute resistance, and now blood
shed is to be found in Cardiganshire. A
few days ago a number Of policemen
who were protecting party of emer-
gency men engaged in serving tithea
distraints in Penhryn, Cardiganshlre,
Wales, were alta cked by mob and a
fierce contest took place, during which
many men on both sides were injured.
IT is believed it will be necessary to call
upon the military to assist the emer-
gency men in serving the distraints.
The only remedy which can be applied
to this state of affairs is di3establish-
ment, and if the Welsh had only Home
Rule. disestablishment would soon fol-
low.

perjurers, were taken into its inmost
counsels and made its chosen agents.
Strange to say. however, Parnell's re-
sources did not fail as quickly as bad
been expected. His supplies of funds
cane from all over the world; the five
thousand dollars was on hand every
day; the battle was bravely MAINTAIN
ed; until finally the strain was too
great for the fabric of fraud and its
hollow bubble burst.
But the battle is not quit won. The
Tory government still stubborniy faces
the execration of upright men and the
contempt of foreign opinion. 1t still
stands On some technical ground not
quite overwhelmed by the ruin around
it and refuses to acknowledge the de-
feat. 1t still holds to the confident
hope that the money Of its intended
victims will give out in time to keep
them from reaping the fruits OF their
victory. The question before us nov
is: shall that be so? Shall Toryism and
tyranny, shall fradd and perjury, trl-
umph over honor and right and man
hood, merely for want of contributions
to the cause which is imperilled? tits q

heretofore come bravely to the help OF
the good cause may be expected to re,
new their generosity ana redouble theil
zeal 1t is an emergency Of such pub
lie notorlety and general interest tina,

the issue, may be expected to arouse
themselves to aid in the overthrow oil
as bold and heartless a fraud as ever

GRAFTON HERALD: "Grafton is con-

lions for the coming election be fixes

ditor. They have our sympathy" IF a
ticket should be filled out with men,
each in his way as popular and worthy

ticket in North Dakota this fall on the

MIR. CHAMBERLAIN organ, the Biz
mingham Post, announces on authority
that the government will deal with the
Irish land question in the parliament
tary session of 1890 and with Irish local
government in 1891. 1t is more than
likely that before the first Of these dates
the whole squad will be scattered to the

shaken the faith of the Tories them
selves in the ability to deal with Ireland,
and it is reasonable to expect that total
disorganization of the party will set in.

A PASSING GLANCE.

That Toryism is weakening, is be
coming more evident day by day. Brit
1sh craftsmanship, Of the Tory type,
consists chiefly of a sk1lful and unscru-
pulous welding Of two great weapons
money and poverty. With money
they buy alliance; with poverty they
stamp out the strength OF enmity. In
the good old days OF Cromwell they had
a shorter road to the same end the
road of the sword and the torch. The
queer scruples of modern civilization
have, however, rendered this road an
unpopular one and the Tories have
been obliged to abandon it. They have
been in the habit for several genera
tons, now, of directing their policy to
the exhaustion, instead Of the depopu-
lation, of Ireland. If the population
could be kept in the lowest depths Of
poverty, it would no longer be danger
GUS in it's resentment. How we'll they
succeeded in putting Chat policy into
practical operation is too we'll and
widely known for comment.
And yet they did not succeed. Just
az they could not exterminate the Irish
race by knocking out the brains Of the
children, 80 they coutd not with every
srtiGce 50 impoverish the Irish people,
80 demorilize them with starvation, and
restitution, as co extinguish the spirit
of resistance OF check the rising tide of
nationalism. The great money lever
must be applied in some new way.
The arch mischief maker with his Sa-
tanic cunning, is always ready to sug'
gest artful devices to those who are
willing to accept his terms. Through
his promptings, evidently, the London
Times conceived the villainous scheme
of libelling Mr.. Parnell so grossly, so
directly and so preslstently, that the
matter must finally find it's way into
court. Once there, it was confidently
calculated that costs could be piled up
50 fast and so high that Parnell and his
friends would utterly back down for
want of funds. The charges would be
held sustained. right or wrong, Parnell
would be discharged, it not actually
convicted of some felony, and the Irish
cause would be regarded throughout the
civilized world as badly compromised.
The sympathies of Christendom court
for a great deal in every hard political
struggle, and those sympathies would
have been greatly alienated from Ire
land. Itwas cunning scheme. dia-
bolically conceived and UNANIMOUSLY
carried out. Spies, info rmers. traitors,

The happy smile OF welcome on the lip
Upspringing from the heart.
It is the eager clasp OF kindly hands,
The long remembered tone,
The ready sympathy which understands
All feeling by it's own.
The rosy cheek OF little children pressed
To ours in loving glee;

No matter where we be.
