The Reports of Failure Greatly ESag-
gerated.
LONDON, October 1Sth.-Ths most vera
cious and authoritative statement which
has yet appeared about the alleged Irish
famine, comes from James II. luke. He
has been working tor many years in
practical wav to relieve the distress where
it exists. His experience goes back to
1876, when he was one of the workers for
the relief of the famine. He now says there
is no danger of what is termed famine;
that the area over which a serious failure IN
the potato crop exists is limited TO few
western unions, and the general condition
of the people in the congested districts
renders them better able to bear the loss,
partial or entire, of the potato crop than in
| 1850, and that the people are not by any
means so dependent upon the potato crop
| for daily food as formerly and that they
each year consume larger quantities o.
wheat, -four and Indian meals. The po
tato crop, except in wet and Doggy londs, Is
good, and selling at moderate prices.
With reference to the proposed American
charity, Mr.. Tuck says that it would be
serious evil to let it be supposed that ethel
British or American generosity was abou
to be poured into the congested districts
What is needed is to stimulate, not TO les
sen the self-reliance of the people.

this contingency that we would
caution our farmers. The ambi.
tious demagogue and incompetent
place-hunter stands ever ready tc
take advantage of every upheaval,
and the present Congressional cam
paign is no exception to the rule.
In the halls of Congress for q
number of years this district has
had man, not brilliant and me-
teoric, bat PLAIN, unassuming, sober
and wonderfully industrious, who,
by his close attention to business
and enormous capacity for work,
has attracted the attention of the
whole country and placed himself
in demand as chairman of some of
the most important Congressional
committees. Deferring to the ex-
pressed wishes of not only the peo-
pie of his State, but of the entire
Mississippi valley, seconded by the
farmers of the Northwest, he is
before US again for reelection to
Congress. He has no ak to grind, no
competency to acquire, as his means
were ample when first elected, and
remain about the same. He is
with US on every issue, anti-lottery
and all, except the sub-treasury
bill; and in regard to this he says:
Il cannot support it in its present
shape, but do pledge myself to our
farmer friends to support, as a sub
stitute for it, some measure which
will give them relief, and at thesame
time is Democratic and consti-
tutional." Here is man, not a
demagogue. If he was place
hunter, time-server, he would tell
our farmers that he swallowed their
measures at one gulp, right or wrong.
But, being man of mind and
after thoroughly examin- |
ing the measures, he candidly tells
us he will heartily support all but |
one, and that he cannot support in |
it's present shape-that, unless he |

We have Webster's largest abridged
dictionary, published in 1879. Neither Of
your definitions are in it, nor il there an
other definition in it besides the one We
gave, viz: protestant (a) Pertaining to

Their at the Diet OF Spires, and other re-

tants in this the true sense of the word.
But the later usus loQuendi = general
usage OF the word-makes it right, sup
pose, to call all Professionals who do not
adhere to the Catholic religion.
We have nothing to do with Old
Crusty's differing with Webster's
unabridged dictionary of to-day,
but cannot help feeling amused at
his going back for more than three
score and ten years for dictionary
to sustain his claim, and then re-

A Wrong IMPRESSION.

Farmers throughout the state seem TO
have a wrong impression as to the nature
of the special legislation which is to be
considered at the extra session of the
legislature. The great question to be con-
sidered will be the granting of permission
to the city authorities of Chicago to issue
bonds to the amount of s. ,00O, 900 in the
interest of the Worlds Columbian Elk,
position.
In many instances the agriculturists
imagine that state taxation is involved in
the proposed measure, which is clearly a
mistake. as no state tax, or appropriation
can be levied or made at special session
unless set forth in the call issued by the
governor.
II Is a well defined fact, which ought to
be generally known. that in the PROPOSE
ton which Chicago asks permission to
submit to the vote of the people in No
vember next, she seeks the privilege of
taxing herself only.
The debt incurred by the proposed act
of the legislature in no way involves re.
sponsibility on the part of the state of
Illinois, and in no manner can it become
an expense to any one outside of Chi
cago's boundaries.
