Mr.. Smalley writes in the Tribune;
The most voracious and authorita-
tive statement which has yet appeared
about the alleged Irish famine comes
from the eminent philanthropist and
Quaker. Mr.. james H. Tuke. His
name is familiar to everybody who
knows anything about Irish distress.
He has been working for many years
in the most practical way to relieve
distress where it exists. Nobody
knows more about the facts. His ex-
perience goes back to 1876, when he
was one of the workers for the relief
OF the famine. He now says, first,
that there is no danger of what Is
termed famine; second that the
area over which serious failure OF
the potato crop exists is limited TO
few western unions; third, that the
general condition OF the people in the
cougested districts renders them bet
ter able 10 bear the loss, partial or
entire, OF the potato crop than in 1885,
and fourth, that the people are not by
any means SO dependent on the potato
for daily food as formerly. and that
they each year consume larger guam
titles of wheat flour and Indian meal
Mr.. luke states explicitly, what is
known to everybody who has looked
into the question, that the potato crop
throughout Ireland, except in the wet
and Doggy lands of these congested
districts, is good and is selling at
moderate prices. Within the limited
area where the crop is likely to fail
he recommends vigilance to the gov
ernment. He thinks that relief
works will be needed, but knows that
the government are fully alive to the
exigency.

Good pavemen,s are cheapes,.

Our city fathers might study very
profitably a report by Consul Sherman
located at Liverpool, England, on the
pavements, tramways, sewers, and ar
tisans' dwellings, of that city, pub
lished in the last number OF Consular
Reports The corporation of Liver
pool, he gays. has adopted the policy
of constructing its public works in the
best possible manner, and in this way
has succeeded in reducing the cost of
maintenance to a minimum. Since
1872 only impervious pavoments have
been laid. and Liverpool has now 2j0
miles of the best paved streets in the
world. The wisdom of this is not
only seen in the reduced death rate,
which has declined from 27.2 per
thousand in 1880 to 20.3 in 1888, but
in the reduced cost of maintenance of
the streets. In 1879 the estimated
expenditure of the cost of keeping 226
miles of streets in repair was $780,
$50; in 1889 tie estimated expense
for the same was only $40, S24 for 250
miles of pavement. Permission, he
says, is never given for private par
tics to cut through the pavement of
any street for any purpose. When
such work is necessary, the corpora
ton will do it in its own thorough
way, and the interested parties must
pay the entire cost All the street
car tracks are laid and owned and
Kept in repair by the city. and the
company using them pays an annual
rental of 10 per cent on their cost
Accompanying this report are the
specifications under which the streets
are paved and the sewers built, which
show that most thorough work is re-
quired. Scientific american.

From the Kansas CITY Times.
There is II neat little romance hidden
away back in the lives of Private Secrc-
tary Elijah y. Halford and wife. Before
she was married Mrs. Halford was "a great
singer. She had an exceptional soprano
voice, and when she found il necessary to
care for herself begged her father tn
let her go to indianapolis and accept AN
offer which had been made to her to sing
in a church choir. With some fear he
consented, and Off the young girl, scarcely
IL, started to make fame and fortune.
Standing next her i'm the choir was a
young printer whom everybody q and
called 'Ligc."
oftentimcs there were not books enough
to 20 around and they were forced to look
on the same page. After ~ time "Ligc''
called incidentally on his way TO the choir
practice and often walked home with her
they grew to Inc very good friends and
never thought any more of singing from
different hyTnnbooks. One night they were
hopefully chanting the hopeless dirgc,
1.-The Oil Ran Down Aaron's Beard" and
when the soprano blithesomely sung ''thc
oil, the oil ran down." Lig pceped over
the hymnbook and whispered, "Will you
marry me:'
The little soprano struggled pluckily on
until the bassOs took mp the heavy refrain
''Down Aaron's beard, down. down
Aaron's beard" and then she whispered,
s.Barkis IL willin','' and he two voices
dropped out OF the iinal winding up of the
old anthem.

PENDING TIE DECISION.

The average man does not anticipate
miracles, and therefore the average man
will not count on fair treatment for the
democratic senators whose ease comes
before the senate committee i'm WASH
ingtOn to-day. If the democratic con-
tsstants from Montana get their rights
it will be because the republican sena-
tors find it policy to be just. The rule
by which the republican x has
been h u far guided is To take what is
in sight-no matter where the merit OF
he case lies. This policy prompted
enatOr Edmunds, having none of the
facts in the contest before him, to COM
fort Colonel Sanders the other day with
the assurance that il would he all right
in the end.
From first to last, the STANDARD has
insisted that the success OF this claim
ant ar that in the contes at Washing
ton is matter of relatively small ac-
count to the people of Montana. The
opinion is well grounded that the
federal senate is disposed To
be strictly partisan and the seat
ing of Colonel Sanders and his
accompanying result" will settle moth
ing. 10 far rs popular conviction goes
regarding the right or wrong in the
ease. Of course. there can be no APP
peal from the action of the senate, and
we suppose II good many questions
which simply concern current policy
will be considered settled by n ac-
ton taken in Washington. II would
not be surprising to see a Legislature in
session at Helena. should emergency
arise. in which a legal organization
