SOME hitch seems to exist somewhere
in the proceedings rega,d ding the Federal
building. The Supervising Architect,
Windrim, come time ago made inquiries
as to the ad visibility of stopping
work when the walls of the fret story
should be completed, with view of
making the building three stories instead
of two, as the plans under which the
work is going on contemplate. These
inquiries were addressed to Congressman
Vandever, and they we're answered III
the affirmative. The Chamber Of
Commerce of this city joined in
this recommendation. The original
plans provided for three story
building. They were afterwards
so modified as to leave out the middle
story, and make two-story building
Now the first story is about complete so
far as the walls go. II three-story
structure is to be put up, work will have
to be stopped at an early day. The
leaving out of the middle story, thereby
letting the upper or third story down on
the first, makes it necessary to rever'
to the original plans if three
story building is to be erected. The
walls planned for the third story of the
original building, the second story of
that which is now being put up, will not
carry third story and the roof. Since
General Vandever's answer to Mr..
Windrim went on, nothing has been
heard in reply. Next week the contrac-
tor will be rushing up the thin walls of
the second story according to the
plans under which he is working.
If they are put up they will have to be
taken down to allow of putting the third
story on. Someone who is authorized
to speak for the city should take prompt
action in this q flair, and keep the wires
warm between here and Washir gton un-
til Mr.. Windrim cuts the knots in bis red
tape proceedings, and suspends work at
the joists Of the first story.

WASHINGTON, August 9.-Information
from Hayti, under date of July 25th,
says everything is quiet at Port-au-

DISCRIMINATING JUSTICE.

Is th re is apy reasonable doubt as to

from Mr.. Gladstone. 1t seems that .
few DAYS ago he was written TO by some
gentlemen in England who desired tc
know whether it was true that ''combl
nations in Ireland similar to trades
unions in England were suppressed by
the present government" They pointed
out the fact that to towns wherein thew
resided, which contained large popu-
lation Of working people. the repl,

IRISH HISTORY.

1t is quite evident from the state
ments that have appeared recently in
the Catholic press, and from other
sources, that there is strong feeling
in favor of having Irish history studied
in our schools. This is America certain
~, but we shall not be less American
because we are more Irish; on the con-
trary, the story Of our ancestry IS W II
and beautifully told, and it ought to be,
for the gifted Irish are credited with a
faithful memory ard a fluent tongue,
can only result in forming trurr men.
aud consequently, better clL'z3ns; a
result to be desired in all educational
training. The philosophy OF Irish
history has a message, not for The de-
cendants OF the Irish race alone, but for
all humanity. 1t teaches by the per-
suasive power Of truth in example that
nation faithful to God caunot and
shall not be destroyed. Centuries of
the most fieDdish persecution have not
deprived the Irish arm of its manly
v.gor, the Irish mind of it's bright i'll
telligence, nor the Irish heart Of its
VAIN aud generous affection, and the
lofty tenacity with which this ancient,
proud, impa,sioned and lnviucible race
has ever chung to faith aud country is
sublime lesson in patriotism. A
people whose characteristics grow more
admirable in adversely, possess within
themselves the elements of moral
grandeur; such a people are the irish.

pr,ved them OF all freedom. closed their
schools and made it a crime for an Irish

deeper love than most other men, aud

to which his strong personality and his

Irish history there are dark pages which
individuals have stained with crime aud

light and heat Of the sun because thece
