part. Mr.. Finerty is an able man and
has many friends VINO were sorry to
hear of his public arrangement by Mr..
Law|er ia that way. The murder of
DR.. Cronin is to be deplored by all good
citizens, and when the Irishmen of
Chicago saw fit to meet and denounce
it they ought to have absJained from
personalities and left the question OF
who committed the bloody murder to
the law, which. it is to be hoped, Will
punish the guilty and save the innocent.
There is nothing to be gained by one
faction abusing the other. 1t both are
a unit on the great question now before
the Cook county authorities, let them
ioin hands and aid the authorities IN
bringing tbs guilty ones to justice. Fer
sonai grievances play small part when
compared with the injury such internal
dissentions bring to the cause of Ire
land. All Irish and Irish-Americans in
this country would Joyfuliy hail the
dawn Of Irish freedom, and will they
now so far forget themselves as to seek
revenge on one or more Of their kin at
the cost of that freedom, which they, as
we'll as their fathers before them,
prayed that they might live to see? BY
all means let the murderers of DR..
Cronin be hunted down and punished,
but in doing this do not drag the just
cause in where it does not belong.

The MINNEAPOLIS Exposition opened
in a blaze of glory last Wednesday and
the big building has been crowded ever
since by anxious visitors. The exhibits
are by far the finest yet seen there and
from the universal expressions OF favor
dropped by all those who have gone
there the inference is that the EXPOSE
ton of 1859 will be long remembered by
the people OF Minneapolis. Manager
Byron, who has LOST more PRECIPITATION
than would sink the ''Mayfower," since
tn beginning of the year in trying to
make the present showtHe granoest
ever seen here, is satisfied now that
it will be a memorable one. He is
highly pleased with ,he result, and now
looks happy. Minneapolis is proud OF
her Exposition, and we hope the mana
gers will be doubly proud when they
come to count the cash returns six
weeks hence.

MIR. GLADSTONE IN speaking at Wey

MR.. GLADSTONE IN speaking at Wey-
nouth had the following to say Of the
priests Of Ireland: 1--WE must bear in
mind that during the long dark years,
the years of trouble and suffering, and
through generations and through CEN
turtles, they have been the class
that have administered to the
people the CONSULTATIONS of re-
Iigion. They have afforded them
almost the sole support which they
have had against an overwhelming
tyranny both Of classes and of the goY-
eminent. (cheers). Of these priests,
gentlemen, think no less than eleven
had been put in prison ceres OF
"'Shame''), aud what is the effect Of all
this upon the people? Not to drive
them into crime. They are now too
we'll conducted and too we'll trained to
be driven into crime even by this provo
cation (cheers). But it it were not for
these priests, of whom, as [ tell you,
eleven have been put Into prison, if 1T
were noe for those Nationalist mem
members who have exer5ed themselves
laudably and manfully and beyond all
question now for several years past, at
any rate without going back to former
times, if it were not for those the people
of Ireland might have been tem pied
into crime (cheers).

lONDON,S ORY FOR BREAD.

The striking dock laborers OF London
to the number Of 10000 marched
through the streets of that city tie"
days ago, carving poles ornamented
with red behring's and stale crusts OF
bread instead of banners, to show the
moneyed classes the condition they
were in. They thought that these poles
with their significant embellishments
would better express their condition
than anything else. A great contra 1t
from the parade which took place there
a few days previous. 1t was then That
England put on her best clothes and
showed the bright side Of things to the
Shah OF Persia. Royalty i'll all its
dazzling brightness bowed before him.
Costly dinners and expensive wine sup
pers were the order of the day while
the royal pagan was in the city ON the
Thames No visit was made to the
docks and factories to ascertain the
wages of the starving laborers. They
we're not thought OF, and it they were
1t was but for moment. They were
mere laborers, and what did they
amount to when compared with the
royal family and the heather King OF
Persia. While hundreds of people in
the English capital were crying for
bread, the Shah and his Persian concu-
bine were being dined and wined at the
expense of these hungry ones. Can 1t
be that this state of affairs will last
long? Perhaps it will. 1t has con-
tinued for many years and will no doubt
continue for many more, unless the
government, in whose hands the solu-
ton of the problem lies. steps III and
calls halt. Another remarkable Co
incident connected with this demon
was that the parades were not
lnterfered with by the police. If sucn
a demonstration should occur in any
town in Ireland Bloody Balfour and his
butchering sold1ery would have brought
sorrow to many all Irish home. They
would have had the processionists shot
down like SO many wild beasts of prey.

1R1sH T1THEs AND BRITISH TORIES.

IRISH llIdho AMI hIsA = AoA1 N
Tn the British House Of Commons on
the l4th inst. Acknowledgement Weo'
ster took occasion to announce that Inc
government had decided to amono the
Tithes bill by accepting the proposal
of the opposition to compel the Iano-
lords instead of the occupiers OF the
land to paw the tithes. The announce
ment was greeted with much enthu-
siasm by the Liberals, even Sir W 1llla'n
Vernon Harcourt going so far as TO ex-
press his qualification at the result.
This action on the part Of the govern
ment has proved that the patience and
exertions of Mr.. Parnelland his follow
ers has not been in vain, as the govern
ment's decision in this case is equivalent
to the introduction Of new bill, and
as a result the principle for which the
Liberals have been contending has at
last been recognized.
Let us hope the next move VIII! be IN
the direction of repeal OF one OF the
most disaraceful and tyrannical acts OF
Parliament that has ever been inflicted
on a noble and patriotic race the
Coercion Actin order that the down.
trcdden people Of Ireland may enjoy
that freedom and liberty which IN the
eves of the civilized world they are so
lastly and lawfully entitled to, and
which to day IS the boast and pride
of all her Majesty's subjects throughout

THAT ALIEN CONTRACT LAW.

Americans can go abroad and engage
actors and actresses in Europe to come
to this country and play here without
the alien contract law interfering. NO
one has ever disputed the right OF any
theatrical manager in this particular
But as soon as Rector Keane, OF the
Catholic University in Washington, an
nounced his intentions OF securing
European professors for the rev uni
versity the cry went up that such &C
tion on the part OF the Rector would be
a direct violation OF the alien contract
law. and could not be allowed at all.
This is consistency. An actress, who
is not fit to associate with good people,
but whose appearance on the pubic
stage attracts admirers of her class, can
he engaged at a large salary and her
expenses peid to this country, and not
one word is ever said about the alien
contract law. When She has fulfilled
her engagement here she is allowed 10
return to Europe to squandet her money
AS SD0 sees Nv. ouL TiACIL oiAO NSoAAOAASN
Of America want the best European
teachers obtainable to fill chairs in their
schools, their ettention is called to the
act. Another blow to the Catholic
Church in America. But it will not
work. American laws we're made for
the people of America, and not for one
or two particular classes. The alien
contract law was purposely enacted to
exclude foreign laborers imported to-his
country under contract, and whose
presence here would injure the Ameri-
can laborer. That is the object of the
law. and not to exclude such men as
these European professors. What the
anti Catholic element in America can
not accomplish by one means they will
by another if possible.

A PROTESTANT sheet published IN
Montreal has the following to say on the
action of the goy.-generaI in refusing
to disallow the JesuiJs' Estate Act:
ellis excellency, the governor general,
said he had no evidence that in this
Dominion. in this nineteenth century,
the Jesuits had been less loyal than
other citizens. This compliment with
outlaws was nice comparison to those
before him # he or Sir John Thomp-
son would show how it is possible for
the Jesuits to be loyal, something very
needful would be added to the value of
this negative indorsation. Oppression,
and not justice, is what the writer OF
this article would like to give the
Jesuits.

THAT .ANTI-IRISH CRY.

A Scandinavian paper published in
Boston, similar to the MINNEAPOLIS Or
gan of that race, devotes much space IN
one of it's recent issues to abusing the
Irish and condoling with the Scandi"
navians on the success OF the former
and the failure of the latter in the
United States. It says that in the mat
ter of official appointments the Scandl-
navians are crowded out by the Irish;
that for example in Oshkosh, Wis.,,
while the Scandinavians number some
1900 and the Irish only l,400, yet the
latter have secured majority Of the
offices and positions of trust. In another
paragraph it says that no one can lind
it in his heart to love the Irish etc. 1t
seems queer indeed that if the Irish are
such bad lot Of people as this Boston
paper would have its readers believe
they are, that they have been 80 sue
cessful in this country. This race organ
attributes the cause of their prosperity
to cheek, and adds that the want OF the
same commodity in the Scandinavlans
is what keeps them in the back ground.
A great argument this is. The IRISH
STANDARD does not propose to hnd
fault with the Scandinavians as race.
There are some excellent members of
society among them, but it cannot pass
by such absurd reasoning as the above
without taking some notice of it. Ii
the Scandinavians number three to one
of the Irish in Oshkosh, why is it that
they do not divide up the offices among
themselvee. and let the Irish go begging.
| The reason is obvious The Scandina-
VANS Of Oshkosh like all independent
American citizens when it comes to
election time, evidently consider the fit
ness of the candidates for the different
offices and not the country whence they
came. They do not vote for man be-
cause he was born in Sweden or OF
Swedish parents without knowing
whether he can read or write the Eng
lish language. The Boston editor like
his brother on the North in Minneap-
oils would have the Scandinavians knife
the Irish and all other natiOnalities in
fact, to boost each other into positions
of trust. But they will find this very
difficult task. The average Scandina-

UNITED IRELAND: "A frightful scene
was witnessed in the course Of an eyic-
ton at place called Culleens, in Che
county Mayo. last week. A poor widow
named KeaveneY, with three children,
was thrown out of her miserable howell
during a terrible downpour of rain.
When the bailltfs broke into her house
she fell on the floor in a lit, aud while
UNCONSCIOUS, was carried out and laid
on heap of chaf called a bed. All
this time the rain was pouring heavily,
and both the wretched mother and her
three poor babes, who were crying dis.
tractedly, were drenched to the skin.
The grabber, man called Convey, had
purchased the farm from Colonel Knox,
the landlord, while the poor widow was
negotiating with another person for
the transference Of the farm on terms
favorable to herself. His farm adjoined
that of his victim. ALI the time the
shocking scene was being enacted he
looked on, skulking behind the boun-
dary hedge, waiting to get possession
When Mrs. Keaveney recovered from
her swoon she threw herself upon her
knees On the lard, wet road, and, with
the yehemence of despair, repeatedly
invoked the vengeance Of heaven on
the man who had deprived her and her
orphans of their home. The scene was
horribly startling and affsct1ng, and
made powerful impression even on
the callous evicting party.
