Friendly Sons of st. Patrick, in
New York, Saturday, was full of
wise counsel for the future of our
national life. The United States
has ever been hospitable and sympa-
thetic. Our passion for freedom
has been fed by the contributions
we have received from the sturdy
men of other lands. Our interest
in the struggle Irish nationalist are
making for a Dublin Parliament
arises naturally from our desires to
see Others enjoy Institutions similar
to our own. The topics, however,
on which Mr.. Cleveland dwelt
longest and with special earnestness
were the value of the union of the
States and the necessity of fraternal
sympathy and liberation among the
people of different parts of the
country and of different classes and
interests. "Let us resolves" said he,
"that no partisan exigency shall
excuse the creation or keeping alive
of irritation and jealousy among the
people. Let us cultivate real and
genuine generosity and fraternal
kindness among our people"
Chicago will dedicate on the 4th
of May, the third anniversary of the
Haymarket massacre, a statue in
honor of the two hundred police
men who bravely faced the bomb
throwing mob on that fearful night.
The statute will stand an the very
spot, and will represent a police
officer of heroic size, with his right
hand uplifted. The inscription
reads: Gin the name of the people
of the State of Illinois, l command
peace" the words spoken by Capt.
Ward moment before the bomb
was thrown. The statue bids fair
to be an appropriate memorial of an
act of rare devotion to duty.
Prof. Andrews, of Cornell Uni
versity, thinks that "the use of
money to buy votes at elections is
the greatest danger which threatens
the nation at the present time"
And he considers it "the most
painful lack in the Presidents Ad-
dress that, while he referred to
stronger election laws in the South
as necessary, he said not word on
the necessity of purifying the ballot
in the North" How could the
President speak plainly on this
theme, with MORTON, Quay and
DUDLEY present and with WANA-
MAKERS nomination in his pocket Z?

But The SENTINEL does not de-
mand quite that much. Moral I:
Advertise in THE SENTINEL.
A majority of the Republican
members of the legislature voted
against the bill to pension ex>Con-
federate soldiers. How can any ex-
Confederate or the son of an ex-
Confederate affiliate with a party
with record like this?
