hsUNsET" ARREST.

The Hon. Samuel Sullivan (Sunset)
Cox died in New York at half past eight
O'Clock on Tuesday evening last, the
great statesman ending his life peace
fully and TRANQUILITY, as though sinking
into quiet slumper. In his last mo-
ments his mind seemed to be uneasy
about the four territories whose state
hood he hoped in the near future to
father. Hementioned New Mexico and
Arizona, and said something about
making great effort in their behalf at
the coming session. just previous to
his death bis witty disposition as
serted itself, and he made a remark
that completely upset the dignity Of his
physicians and convulsed them with
laughter. The bright sparkling wit of
this man Of large brain and larger heart
will no longer be heard within the halls
of Congress, although much Of it's
charm remains in the pages Of his fasci-
mating books Mr. Cox was the humor-
lat of the house through a long public
career and will be SO remembered by the
majority of his countrymen, but those
who knew the facts OF his public life
more intimately will associate with him
the record of useful and valuable pub
lie life of great abllity.and without the
stain of single charge against his
honor.

who are editing some Of the.
Republican papers and send them for q
termsto the kinderga rten SCHOOL, For
instance here is the infant intellect
of the Cleveland Leader proposing to
restore the American merchant marine
by system Of discriminating duties in
favor Of foreign goods imported in
American vessels. When the youth is
old enough to read up American history
he will discover the fact that the ira
ditiona. policy of our government from
the beginning has been one Of hostility
to discriminating duties, and when he
gets old enough to think about things
he viii see that the moment we discri-
inmate against foreign flags. foreign
nations will retaliate against ours, and
all our imports will come in our own
ships, and ali our exports will go in
their ships. and freight rates will arise
because ships can only get cargoes one
way, and great deal less merchandise
will be shipped. particularly a great
deal less American wheat will be
shipped to Old Hing.and and France in
competition with Russian and Indian
wheat. 1t makes one tired to have to
explain anything SO simple, but we
don't believe the little boy in the Leader
Office can be made to understand it until
he grows to be great big man, and
wears real trousers. Wake up Sonny,
and shake your high water pants.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER IA. 1889.
IN THE SOUP.

Evidently the way of the transgres-
sor is hard. At meeting of police
commissioners held on Tuesday morn
ing last, short Executive session
was held, during which Capt. Harvey,
of the Central Station, was bounced
from the police force for good and sui
dcient reasons. Those reasons are on
record, and are familiar to our
readers, and it is pretty well
understood that the action Of the com
missioners was based on general prin-
ciples, and for the good and future
welfare of the service. The COM
missioners have evidently come to the
conclusion that religious bigotry and
prejudice are none of toe essentials
necessary to qualify a man for a position
on the Minneapolis police force.

A NEW scheme has been concocted to
catch the unwary granger. It is related
that a clerical looking person with a
timid looking young man and woman,
recently drew up to a farm house in
Iowa, and stated that the couple had
taken a whimsical notion to be married
among the handsome surroundings OF
the farmers home and they would pay
him literally for the privilege. The
farmer at once consented, and in addi-
ton served the trio with fine dinner.
for which he received $40, giving the
parties receipt. The receipt turned
up in the hands of an innocent party as
a promissorY note for $500.

light brown; the six cent, Yermillion;
the ten-cent. melon green; the fifteen

IAN IRISH COMEDIAN"

'.At the convention of the Montana
Democrats man named Martin Magin-
mis- took an important part in the pro.
ceediDgs, for which he expects a United
States senatorship in the event Of the
Democratic success. There is no room
on the congressional books for Magin-
MS, and the Republicans Of the new
State should see that he is not given a
chance. Maginn1s is a good name for
an Irish comedian, but would not look
we'll enrolled as a statesman" The
above piece of bigoted partizan journal
ism emanates frou the artistic pen OF
one of the juvenile quill drivers on a
one horse Republican rag called the
Leader" published in tho town OF
Cleveland, a village bordering on the
shores of Lake Erie, and quite adjacent
to the state Of Ohio, whose propensities
for bigotry and Illuminating enlarge
ment of elongated veracity are pretty
well established throughout the mari ow
sphere in which it ekes out a miserable
existence. With regard to MIR. Magin-
mis-. the gentleman whom this narrow.
minded, egotistical blather-skite of the
Cleveland Leader has seen fit to open
up his skunk bags upon in the manner
above quoted, We presume that we are
not overstepplng the bounds OF disere-
tion or assuming too much on our own
personal knowledge Of the gentleman
referred to whel we assert that as a
soldier and a statesman he has few, if
any, equals in Uncle Sans dominions,
and furthermore Mr.. Maginnis is a
gentleman we'll worthy and deserving
of any honors that may be conferred
upon him at the hands of his fellow
countrymen in this, the land of his
adoption, and when the Leader Mogul
sneeringly referred to the name of a
Maginnis as good name for an Irish
Comedian he evidently reckoned
without his host. Maginnis is a good
name for an Irish Comedian, and don't
you forget it, but at the same time it
takes t'gentleman' Of ability, educa-
ton and talent to fill the bill of an Irish
Comedian.

TIE URONlM TRIAL.

It is not matter for surprise that in
a case such as the Cronin trial IN Chlca-
90 there should be some difficulty in
obtaining jury. There have been in
stances in that state where the effort to
secure jury has been abandoned, such
as in a lynching case which mad popular
sympathy. In other instances juries
have been composed Of men so utterly
ignorant that they were unfit to try the
rights Of brindle dog. It is one OF the
fallacies of legal practice that men can
not try cause On the evidence adduced,
because they have heard or read a YER
sion Of the matter and based an op1nion
on it. In a case thatfpr0mises to be so
tedious and complicated as that in Chi
cago, capable persons will endeavor to
avoid jury duty; the practice enables
them to easily escape it. Justice is not
promoted by making ignorance qua
lification for the jury box. Judge Nc .
Connell has finally tired of the dilatorY
tactics Of the attorneys Of the five men
who are on trial for the murder of DR..
Cronin and said that If a talesman adj
mits that he has formed an opinion, but
declares that he can lay that opinion
aside and try the case inpartially, the
motion Of the defense for his overthrow
will be oYerrnled. The firm stand
taken by Judge Met onnell will hasten
the time Of the formal announcement
I that the hundred peremptorY challenges
credited to the defense have been ex-3
Rhausted. ss

HOME RULE AND THE IRISH
UNIVERSITY.

With regard to the above question
that is now before our fellow-co country
men on the other side of the Atlantic let
us hope that the bait thrown out by the
Terry government of England to the
Irish Home Rulers will not in any way
effect the moral political character Of
any Of our Irish leaders. Mr.. Parnell
and his followers will no doubt refuse
nothing for the good of Ireland. Per-
haps Lord Salisbury and bloodhound
BalfoRr are feeble enough to believe
they will by such stragetic movement
break up the Irish Home Rule party as
it at present exists. Who Of us on this
side of 5he Atlantic knows but it is the
beginning of one of those bold attempts
so familiar to Balfour and his gang of
conspirators to place ireland in de-
moralized state, politically. before the
next general elections. Mr.. Parnell. in
our estimation, is too clever to not de
tect Balfour's snide little game. That
Ireland will accept the University
scheme is beyond dispute, but we have
every reason to question if the Tory
government will succeed in securing
even one parliamentary seat through it.
The British government, as it exists to-
day, is obnoxious in the eyes Of all
Christendom, and must continue to be
unpopular in the eyes Of the civilized
world as long as it maintains the ag-
gressive attitude it does at the present
time towards noble but down trodd den
and Inundated portion of the British
empire. and we hope at the approaching
general elections it will receive crush
ing defeat-one such as it justly de-
serves. In connection with the above
question Mr.. Michael Davitt writes to
the Pall Mall Gazette denouncing the
abandonment of single plank Of the
Home Rule platform for mess Of Uni
1yersity pottage, and declares that the
stand taken upon this question, with:
the vote Of the Irish members on the
s'RoyaI' Grants bill, forms very hui
initiating exhibition Of British parl1a-
mentarY pportunism. If the Tories
meansto offer an olive branch ii good
faith, they can carry the bill BY their
own Votes. They have d maj oritY, and
