where the cause is one of freedom and
human rights. Although taught this
lesson by numberless examples and fail
ures in the past three or four hundred
and pacify the Irish by repression, vio-
lence aud coercIye measures, she has not
yet fully mastered it. Men are not
judicially murdered in Ireland to-day as
they were in the days of Emmett. But it
is simply because the world, which has
progressed in moral sentiment and sym
pathy, whether England has or not,
would revolt at the barbsritY.
There is look of inefhble meanness
and heartlessness in the arrest of those
men just now when destructive famine
has lately invaded the land of their birth,
and when they, the men to whom the
hungry masses look for help, could be of
SO much service in martialing aid and
procuring food for them. Instead of
doing what any humane government
would do in a similar situation, that is,
set itself to the task of feeding the peo-
pie, and preventing their determination
by hunger, it coolly ana deliberately en-
braces the opportunity to press the screws
down tighter on the despairing masses,
just as a cowardly bully pounces on an
adversary when he finds him reduced and
weakened by sickness. If that does not
out Russianize the car, nothing but
sweeping the whole island with the
bosom of destruction, and utterly and
completely exterminating the race, will
surpass his administrative savagery.
Balfour ia far less concerned about the
fate of the starving Irish than
he is about succeeding in the
pacification-no matter how-of the
island. Upon that depends his fame as
q successful administrator and governor.
Upon it depends high position for him
in the next cabinet formed. By using
his power remorselessly to grind the peo-
pie down when they are too weak to re-
SYST, and when thousands of them are on
the verge of starvation, he will in few
months be able to point across st.
Georges channel and say, "behold!
there is peace at last Yes, the peace
that relgned in Warsaw when the
crowned despots of Europe trampled
upon the graves of thousands of Polish
heroes who died for their country.

COERCION IN IRELAND.

Not for a year past have any prominent
arrests been made in Ireland, although
the leading Nationalist have exercised
pretty freely the God-given right of free
speech in discussing publicly the brutally
coercIve policy of the government. Why
Balfour should all at once resume Rus
sian tactics in throwing into prison cells
such men as John Dillon and William
O'Brien for no better reason than actu-
ated the minions of George ILL.,, who
grew eloquent over the wrongs inflicted
on his people by the bluff old tyrant,
does not appear. 1t is hardly probable
that the chief secretary would go to such
extremes merely to detain those GENTLE
men and prevent their coming to this
country. 1t is true that both are men of
a very high order of ability. and in their
American speeches would do great deal
in enkindling q national hatred for the
government that pursues the same saw
age policy towards its helpless depend
ents to-day that it did one and two hun
dred years ago. 1t is true that they
would succeed in raising q great deal of
money to aid them in carrying on their
home rule fight, and holding up the
hands of Gladstone, Harcourt and Nor
ley. But what of that? Won't their
arrest and Imprisonment. IL eff
fected for no better reason, ac-
complish even more than their
visit to this country would do, both in
exciting sympathy and raising money!
Viewed from that standpoint, the new
coup appears to be a notable blunder.
The poorest way in the world to suppress
a cause Is to make martyr of him who
champions it. This is especially true

THE DALLAS FAIR.
Some of the Notables Who will be there this
Year-An Improvement Over Pre-
yious Years.

DALLAS, Tex, Sept. 10, 1890.
To the Gazette.
The fifth annual entertainment of the
Texas state fair and Dallas exposition
association begins October Is and closes
November 2. Like wine, the Texas State
fair improves with age, and every de-
partment of this great industrial exposi-
tion will be on a scale grander this year
than ever before. New buildings have
been added and many improvements have
been made. The exhibits will be more
attractive, the attractions will be more
numerous, and all will com bine to edu-
cate and entertain those who visit and
study the features of the great exposi-
ton, which has from an experimental

years, achieved a national reputation and
has worked its way to a position where it
is strong power in the development of
Texas and the new Southwest, now hold
ing out every inducement for the profit
able investment of brains and money.
Many distinguished persons, of national
reputation as leaders, have had their at
tention attracted to the Texas state fair
as a medium for learning of the people,
their institutions and the possibilities of
this great commonwealth, destined at no
remote future day to take its place as the
leading state of the nation in productive
wealth, as well as in social and politi-
cal sense, and they have slgnifed their
intention of being present during the ex-
ercises of this year. Among the number
may be mentioned:
Ex-President Cleveland, Senator John
G.. Carlisle, Governor John b. Gordon of
Georgia, Governor Robert Taylor of
Tennessee, Governor Eagle of Arkansas,
Governor Humphreys of Kansas, Jay
Gould, John Il. Inman and others.
In this work of aiding in the develop
ment of the latent resources of the state,
the Fair association recognizes q match
less co-laborer in the press of the coun-
try, which has contributed so literally
to the past and present success of the
fair and exposition and it has been de-
cided to honor the fraternity with "edi-
tors day. O day the members are ex-
pected to distinguish with their attend
ance. October % has been set apart as
"editors' day." and on that day there
will be present large number of the
Washington correspondents of the lead
ing papers IN the Northern, Western and
Southern cities. They will be q repre-
sentative body of men in every sense OF
the word, and on 'editors' day. the
programme will likely announce an ad-
dress from some distinguished represent
alive like Henry Watterson, who is ex-
pected to be present.
cordial invitation is hereby extended
to you to contribute to the success of
"editors' day. with your presence
We trust that with this early notice YOU

THE STORY opens with the meeting of
a London merchant and his lawyer. who are
scheming to obtain the fortune left by Mr.. John
Nicholson of Prospect Rauche, Texas, to the
heiress whose disappearance gives the title 70
the story. The merchant and lawyer are work
ing against each other. They engage broken
down rancher to further their ends. He, how
ever, gets an inkling of the plot and concocts
cold-blooded scheme of his own. The heiress is
with her parents who have settled in South
Africa. War breaks out and the chief cha-ac-
tiers in the story meet under unusual circum-
stances. The girls life is in the utmost jeop-
ardy. Her lover is taken captive by the great
Zulu chief, but is liberated by Zulu girl On
reaching the British camp he is arrested on
false charge of murder.
The story is one of movement and incident,
the scenes changing rapidly. Movements that
were actually made by the troops, battles that
were fought and historic incidents-such as the
death OF the prince imperial of France-are sd-
mirably described and cleverly bound up
with the development of the story.

THE trades unions of Australia have
got the thing down to a fine point. In
the neighborhood of Sidney a new theater
was being erected. The building had to
be finished by a certain time. The brick
layers were receiving eleven shillings for
day of eight hours, and every extra
hour was counted as an hour and a
quarter. They really got fourteen shil-
lings and six pence for ten hours. They
struck for shilling more. Hundreds
of men, including many bricklayers,
were applying for public aid at this very
time, on the ground of being unem-
ployed, but the contractor dared not en-
gage any OF them, ana was compelled to
grant the extra shilling, while the brick
layers out of the union were put on re-
lief work by the authorities. No wonder
the employers of Australia are organ
izing to fight the devil with fire by the
formation of unions.

BEGIN THE WORK AT HONE.
The deep water agitation begun in the
Fort Worth convention and emphasized
at Denver and Topeka has produced its
legitimate fruit in the signing of the river
and harbor bill by the president. All
the talk about deep water resulted in
nothing until form and emphasis wer g
given to it through organization effected
by the efforts of Fort Worth in assem-
bling Texas together IN convention.
Again Fort Worth moves to organize the
Texas demand for factories. Booms be-
gin at home. Providences helps those
those who are resolved on having fac
tories. A united effort on the part of
Texas will convince factory owners that
Texas is in earnest; and this united effort
can only be secured by convention, just
as the demand for deep water was crys-
talized by the Fort Worth convention.
Next Wednesday the representatives
of the people of Texas should formulate
o plan of action and of agitation, and of
advertisement of the adaptability of
Texas to manufacturing, by which the
people can continue the good work. And
the convention, above all things, should
speak with such certain sound that all
men may know that 7eras lodntS factories,
that TEXAS inuites capital, that TEXAS la,1s
protect capital, that TerGs' taxation is bat
nominal, and that the few factories in
Texas ha We been profitable.
