Eoupou. Aug. 2b.-Thomas Sexton, spss1S
Inn II regard 70 Irish affairs, said that Is =;
vfs1t cf John Dillon and William OBriaa
u Amerioa will be an event Of considerahln L
Importance. Irish Americans were feyot.
ishly fesvsnt In their help during the earlielr
Gea8e6 Of tho great agrarian movement.
But there has been very noticeable oool-
ing during the past four years, which was
undoubtedly natural enough. The
changes made in the character Of thu.
movement itself, the softenine of all the
harsher features of the sterner times the
friendly correspondence Of English liberals
with Irish aims and aspirations, must have
all seemed TO the minds of Irish -Americans
very like what is popularly called a s'lov-
erinR Of the faR," because it was COM
trary to all traditions Of ma
tionality that an official party In
England should seriously take up the
part Of their programme. When home
rule was made dogma of official LIBERAL
ism the 1rish-Americans were bewildered.
Gradually they saw the reality Of the pro-
posals. They saw that the liberals wese in
earnest. They recognized Mr.. Gladstone's
pathies. and the union Of hearts, did, in .
sense, comprise the whole scattered race
In America and Australia. But quite un-
necessary prostration of Irish dignity
soon ret in. Absurd professions of loyalty,
which NO Englishman would dream Of
making, sounded on every platform. We
were told over and ever again that subor-
dinate parliament would inevitably placate
Irish discomfort. But Mr.. Parnell, like tho
strong, sensible man that he is, al
ways said that the most he could
promise wonld be that the Irish party
would loyalty try to make Mr.. Gladstone'a
scheme success. Other men rolled the
Words statutory subordinate parliament -
ne if they were sweet savory morsels.
Trust the Irish people altogether or trust
them not at all, said Mr. Parnell. No man
can sets limits to nations advance, AZ he
told his audience in Cork five years ago.
From that position he has not bulged an
inch. The most that he can promise to do
| ia his best.

nominating Mckinley. He reserved Nc
Kinley's name to the last, and as it was
pronounced, cheees and shouts arose that
fairly shook the house. When the
vote was called for by Smyser, the
walls quivered with the mighty "aye''
that went up, and the crowd cheered and
cheered again. Maj. Mckinley then fol-
lowed with his speech of acceptance, which
was masterly effort. A number Of other
speeches were made and the convention
ended amid great enthusiasm.

Very Gloomy Pruspects for the Winter n

Dua1M, Aug. S.-At a mseting of tn
National League here to-day Timothy
Healy, 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 through
building new railways, but how could the
railway act recently passed be held to
prove the governments intention of meet
ing the coming famine. Besotted stupidity
marked the whole conduct of the executive.
It might not be legal for tenants to with
hold their land rents during a period Of
distress, but man who should pay his
rents and leave his family to starve would
be little better than an assassin. Let land
lords support the rent payers. g

He Imperils his LILO to Save his Sister
From Impending Danger.
TIMBERLINE, Aug. 26.-[Spscial. AS
Miss Marie Broome, young and pretty
Minnesota lady, who is spending few
weeks for her health with her brother, w.
H. Broome, telegraph operator here, was
riding horseback this evening the horse
became unmanageable and started at wild
rate down the road leading by the depot.
Her brother, who happened to be standing
on the platform talking with small group
of ladies caught sight of the runaway Just
IN time to head him off. Standing squarely
in the middle of the road
he grabbed the horse. which was
running at frightful speed, by the bride
with his left hand and at the same time
caught his sister with his right arm as she
fell from the saddle. He was jerked some
twenty feet backward, landing nimbly on
his feet still holding his sister and the
horse, bringing him to standstill. His
right arm was broken just above the elbow.
Otherwise he was uninjured. Miss Broome
was none the worse for her wild ride. Those
who witnessed the brave act say it is a
miracle he was not killed outright, con-
sidering the terrific speed at which the
horse was running. As it was it might
have been mo-e serious with Miss Broome
but for the daring and prompt act of her
brother.

pray for forgiveness for her sin. This
done, he bound her to wooden bench, and
with sabre he hacked her head of. He
then blew out his brains. The screams OF
the children attracted the attention OF
neighbors. who broke open the door and
