THE POTATO BLIGHT.
Timothy Healy Scores the Government for
Its Indifference.


Its Indifference.
DUBLIN, Aug. 26.-At a meeting of the
National League here to-day Timothy
Healy, in referring to the potato blight,
said nothing stood between the people and
starvation during the coming winter. The
Government was represented as being most
anxious to provide employment for the peo-
pie through the building of new railways,
but how could the railway act recently
passed be held to prove the Governments
intention to meet the coming famine. Be-
sOtted stupidity marked the whole conduct
of the executive. 1t might not be legal for
tenants to withhold their land rents during
a period of distress, but the man who
would pay his rent and leave his family to
starve would be little better than an assas-
sin. Let the landlords support the rent
payers.
LoSDoN, Aug 26.-The Chronicle advo-
Gates migration from the congested districts
in Ireland to waste lands which only re-
Quire to be reclaimed and cultivated to af
ford subsistence for the surplus population.
II eXhorts the Government TO take immedi-
ate action and not wait until the people are
enfeebled by hunger. All true patriots,
whether Home Rulers or not, it says, can
join in this humane task.

LOCAL POLITICS.
The Democratic State Central
Committee Organizes.
Many Clubs Meet and Iniorse the Republican
State Ticket-Colonel Markham
Universal Favorite.

The various political headquarters, as
well as the different hotels, were quite de-
serted last evening of politicians. One rea-
son for the absence of local politicians of
both parties was that they needed a rest af-
ter the activities of the exciting conventions
at Sacramento and San Jose; another rea-
son was that to-day another convention will
be held, which though not so important as
either of these named will be no less inter-
esting to the contestants-that is the Re-
publican Congressional Convention at Fres-
no.
Many of the local politicians have gone
to attend the convention, and it promises to
prove an exciting one with the candidates,
Bowers of San Diego, Lindley of Los An
geles and Rowell of Fresno, each thinking
he may win
1t IS difficult matter to say who will win
in the race for the nomination, but one
thing may be said that no matter which of
the candidates named may become the
standard-bearer Of the Congressional ticket,
it will require the best judgment OF the
Democrats to put up some one to beat it.
Ex-Judge NJ. J. Waldheimer, prominent
lawyer and politician, who has been called
upon by the State Central Cpmmttee to
stump the State, when met at the Grand
Hotel last evening, said there was one
thing which struck him as being decidedly
in favor not only of tie Republican ticket
but of the party, and that was the absence
of any hurrah or noise since the nominations
had been made. He thought that Colonel
Markham's success was assured, not only
because he was an astute politician, but be-
cause of his personal popularity in the
southern portion of the State regardless of
party.
A prominent Democrat whose views are
entitled to consideration was met in the
corridor of a leading hotel last evening, and,
when asked his opinion about the forma-
ti0n of the new State Central Commit ttee,
said that it reflected the character of the
late convention, which was the most ilIl-
portant and representative body ever as
sembled in the State. He claimed that
precedents had been disregarded, many of
the old party leaders having been set aside
and rings smashed.
He thought the new Central Committee
was composed of new men, and he thought
IL was apparent from the new membership
that the influence of the Stockton Conven-
tion was dead. He believed Mr.. Russell j.
Wilson (the Chairman to be an ambitious
young man of wealth and social standing,
who had long striven to become a part of
the Democratic political system, and his
ambition now being gratified, it remained
to be seen whether he would become an
active factor or an elegant amateur.

obliged to stand from a certain class
of people. Among the exhibits will
be cartridge and letter from an
indignant Southerner, who exclaims:
"The next bullet you receive from
me will be from a rife" When the
time comes the country will have a
chance to read nightly interesting
speech from Senator Ingalls,.
The Memphis Avalanche truly re-
marks that without such souvenirs
and mementoes Ingalls, would soon
be dissolved in his own gall for lack
ofan opportunity to expend it on the
South, and that in such cases the
fool rarely fails to serve the knave.
Regarding the investigation as to
how the papers get their reports of
the executive sessions of the senate,
Senator Blackburn proposes to solve
the whole question by abolishing
entirely the press gallery. If in
some way the press could be in
duced to refrain from publishing
the utterances at least of such dem
agogues as Ingalls,, which are meant
for the ignorant and the ground
lings, they could be efectually sup
pressed. The fool-killer would have
as tough job in the South as in
any other section of the country.

BILLED FOR ANOTHER STAR EN-
GAGEMENT.

1t is a notable fact that John Jay.
hawker ingalls,, who was described
some time back by a speaker as hav-
ing followed in the rear of the army
during the late unpleasantness and
presided over chicken courts as a
judge advocate to try poor
devils for robbing poultry
roosts, has the b g g e t
gallery crowds to hear hisharangues
in the United States senate of all the
members of that body. 1t is be-
cause he always manages to have
his diatribes thoroughly advertised
beforehand and resorts TO all kinds
of undignifed tricks to drum up a
crowd. That was the way he Sc
cured an audience on the occasion of
his recent venomous attack against
this section on the race question.
And now he is billed for another stor
engagement. The New York Mail
and Express, Elliott F. Shepards
paper, presumably speaking by au-
thority, announces that he is prepar-
ing a speech that will make big
sensation and cause the hair to
stand on end, and adds:
Ever since his speech on the race
question he has been bombarded
with letters from the South. A num-
Der of them have been published,
but he has kept collection, which
he is arranging to place before the
country IN speech. The majority
of these epistles are Of the most out
rageous character, and the threats
and intimidations contained in them
would be enough to brighten the av-
afage man, but Senator Ingalls, is
not man to be bulldozed or brow
beaten. He has also received a
number of articles, which would
make a small museum in themselves.

THE BLOODY SHIFT ONCE MORE.

The proceedings of the United
States senate, as reported in the as
ISOLATED press, have begun again to
have familiar ring about them sug-
gestive of the dark days of recon
struction and of the bloody shirt
regime. The bloody shirt ranters
and demagogues of late have not
quite treated the country to daily
diatribes on this faYorite issue with
them, but they are gradually APP
preaching the good old times and
will get there soon. The names of
Grandma Hoar, the sainted old
granny from Massachusetts, and old
Bill Chandler, who is chiefly noted
next to his bloody-shirt record for
having the smallest head of any man
in congress, are now frequently to
be seen figuring in the reports of
the doings of congress-almost if
not quite every day. And they ap-
pear in the accustomed role of ira
ducers, knayes and villainous, vitu-
peratiye and reckless falsifers of the
South and of the Southern people.
On last Thursday the sainted Hoar
by some means or other got a vague
idea of an obsolete law which had
been passed somewhere in one of
the southern states just after the
war, Furnishing worthless white peo-
pie who associated with negroes as
Migrants. In the course of dia-
tribe against this section the old
grand-dame with the recklessness
usually characteristic of her, vert
Oft systematically half-cocked and
charged that such law existed on
the statute books of Louisiana at
present. The old Ananias with equal
asserted that there was
a law in Louisiana which provided
for the sale of any colored man
found for certain time out of work
and that the former master should
have the preference in the purchase.
These infamous falsehoods and will
full misstatements were unequivocal-
ly given the lie by Senator Eustis,
but it will have no more effect in
preventing these northern partisan
traducers from going on and lying
about the South than if no atten-
ton, whatever, was paid to them.
Honest old John Sherman hobbod
up serenely, too, in his seat and |
PLAYED the role of a hypocrite by
pretending great concern for the !
colored people. He professed not
to care snap of his finger whether
colored man voted the democratic
or republican ticket-just so he was
permitted to vote and to have his
vote counted. The hyenas and
ghouls and hypocrites of the North
nay howl as much as they please,

If courts would refuse to set aside
Just and honest verdicts because of
fimsy technicalities there would be
fewer crimes and fewer criminals.
No one blames the shrewd lawyer
for taking any advantages for his
client, but the court should see to it
that justiceis administered according
to the spirit and letter of the statute.
Inter Ocean.
Be it said to their credit, the lower
courts are less responsible for crime
than the high courts of last resort.
In Texas it is the court of appeals
which juggles with terms, makes
sport of justice by following out the
strict letter instead of the manifest
intent and spirit of the law, however
awkward and ridiculous tie ruling
may be.
