violent and unjust of action, demean-
ing itself as If it felJ confident of the
full support of an united people; and
lol its champions are rejected at every
pollingbooth, and no constituency is
mean or base enough to accord them its
sufrages.
Meanwhile the whole power of an in
soleDt government is being exerted
against Ireland and those who represent
her. An INSCRIPTIONS party press
maligns and misrepresents her polite
ians, her people, her priests, and even
her eplscopacy. No effort is being
spared to dlscredit her cause, or to raise
obstacles IN her way to freedom. And
all this while England, whenever and
wherever opportunity offers, resents
and expresses her disapproyal of her
ignoble government and of her acts it
dares to do IN her name, by virtue of
the power she was duped into granting
it under the influence of falsehood and
calumny. Surely this state of things
cannot go on for ever, it must speedily
come 10 an END. How this end is to be
most quickly brought about is one of
the questions which many arc asking at
the present moment, and nowhere more
eagerly than in England. Leading
politicians recognize that the moment
has come when the Tories must be
forced to appeal to the constituencies,
whose sentence OF dismissal is already
written against Them

STREET RAILWAY STRIKE.

Thomas Lowry, president of the
street railway lines OF Minneapolis and
st Paul, issued an order Wednesday
night reducing the wages Of all en-
ployes in the city, both on motors and
street cars. Shrinkage in receipts aid
increased outlay is tne excuse given for
such course. Public sympathy in this
case is largely with the men as it certain
~ deserves to be. 1t has not been long
since the great street railway magnate
was comparatively a poor man. when,
indeed. it was no easy matter for him
to keep above high water mark in the
struggle for existence. This was before
the city of Minneapolis was genera US
enough to grant him a street railway
franchise which has raised him from
penury until he has now become noted
among the millionaires If the city
to which he is under 50 many obllga--
lions has done this, is it right that he
should now impose upon its best in
terests? His one great excuse
for a reduction of wages, that the
company is not making money and that
the time has come when he desires to
make additional Improvements in the
service at large outlay and must there
fore reduce the mems wages to meet
this SO far as possible, is certainly a
shameful and unjust procedure which
many of Mr.. Lowry's friends could not
have thought HIM guilty Of doing. At
no time during his great prosperity has
he ever advanced the wages of his
workmen, voluntarily, but the moment
hefound, as h asserts, shrinkage in
receipts, that moment he orders re-
duction in wages to his employees
wages that will barely secure the real
necessities of life here in Minneapolis
where the cost Of living is so highland
all for the purpose Of assisting him in
further building up his interests. We
all desire 70 see Mr.. Lowry prosper, to
go on in building up and improving the
city's railway service, but to do so at the
expense of his employees is unjustidab lie
as it is tyrannical If the street car in
vestment is not a paying one, az Mr..
Lowry claims. he should be honorable
enough TO at once turn over his fran
chise to the city from whence he secur-
ed it. There are hundreds of men who
would only be too glad to secure an op-
portunity of going on with the work
and who would be willing enough to
suffer, if must be, once in decade, for
the magnificent profits that accrue from
our street railway service.

IRELAND is still, as it always has been
even under Balfour rule, comparatively
crimeless., The total number of agrar-
ian offenses reported during the last
quarter of 1883 is 1873. Fifty-one of
these were threatening letters and Is
are described as injury to property.
Oaly six of them were offenses against
the person. And it is for this that Ire
land has been cOerced and illuminated,
q fifth of her representatives thrown
into Jail, and all political agitation

The Timber suits.

The Legislature has echoed the
sentiments of the entire State, says the
Virginia Enterprise, in the step It
has taken towards informing Con-
rress that the timber suits insti-
tuted against parties in the eastern
part of the State are vexatlous and
unreasonable. There are dobutless
many who, looking simply a. the
statement that timber belonging to
the Government had been u~nla~fu!ly
taken by parties, many not citizens,
naturally believe that the presecu-
tons begun by the Government offi-
GERS are just and proper proceedings.
Were nothing to give Information but
the cold records, 1t can easily be I'M
derstood why uniformed people
would encourage the litigation 10 the
direction in which it has been bgun'
There is, however, the character
of the business which will be de-
stroyed to be considered, md there
is the absolute necessity that this
timber should be used by the mines
that must be considered above all
else. The timber is not the straight
lumber-producing trees that are usu-
ally thought of in connection with
timber. The trees are scrubby nut
pine, frequently sparse in growth.
Under the peculiar circumstances OF
the case, should the suits be pushed
to a convict on, there would be no
place at which to draw the line until
the prohibition of cutting extended to
sagebrush. The extreme hardship Ia
those who are defendants in the sew
eral suits may be seer in the case of
the Richmond Company, which Is
sued for something more than $6,00o.-
900, the alleged value of wood and
charcoal that has been used, while the
net value of the ore that the mine has
yielded does not reach that sum.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Through the courtesy of Hon. D
G. McQuitty we arc in receipt of the
second biennial message of Governor
Stevenson to the Legislature. 1t is a
plain, u~nvarnished statement of the
condition of the State.
The Governor congratulates the
people of Nevada on the fact that
labor is better rewarded here than
ia any other part of the Union,
and that the relations existing be-
tween capital and labor are satisfac.
tory to both. He predicts the early
reconciliation of silver, and recon-
mends q wise system of water storage,
which he believe will give Nevada a
season of prosperity hitherto unknown
In its history.
Concerning the State debt, the Gov
ernor says that exclusive of the five per
cent. bond given by the State to the
School Fund, that on December 81,
1888, the State debt was $173,S15 10,
but the cash on hand and applicable
to its payment extinguishcd the debt
and left a cash balance of $85,497 o..
To cure the present unequal manner
of taxation 10 the several counties in
the State, the Governor recommends
the creation of n State Beard of Equa-
iza,ion with just powers well-detined.
A reduction of the fees of the Sec
rotary of State office is recommended.
Some method, besides the State
Prison, is recommended for the pun
ishment of Juvenile offenders, who, IN
the Governors opinion, should be set
to work on a farm.
Thine appoint nent or election of
Fire Coroners is suggested to decrease
in~cendiarism, punish Its perpetrators,
and give more protection to property.
The Governor refers to the State
Prison, Insane Asylum and Orphans
Home, as being properly conducted,
and recommends the preservation of
the prehistoric tracks and the intro
dncti1n OF electric lights at the for
xsa institution.
A liberal appropriation is asked for
needed Improvements n the State
University, and the people are CO, :
graduated upon the successful man
agement of that institution.
In discussing the silver question the
Governor shows very plainly that
the United States Government is
making a profit of about SO cents per
ounce on all silver mined. and ex-
presses a belief that the United States
a successfully adept and maintain
a standard value of its own.
An appropriation for the mainten-
ance of Teachers Institutes is recon-
mended, and attention is called to the
necessity of preserving the records Of
Notaries Public.
Amendments are recommended 10
the general corporation law. intended
to protect those having dealings with
banking houses i~ncorr5orated there-
under.
The manner of making amendments
to the State Constitution is clearly
pointed out.
The hope is expressed that the Ne
vada Indian war claims will Boon be
paid by the General Government, and
gives strong reason WHY such emu
Iteration should he made,
