Edwin Booth Failing.

1t is rumored that the greatest actor
of this age, and by all odds the best ex-
ponent OF Shakespeafean character, is
undergoing a lapse of energy. 1t must
be remembered that Edwin Booth is
getting along in years and has served
the American public we'll and diligent-
ly, having been its stage idol for more
than a quarter Of q century. His
"Hamlet'' has been the ideal of de-
cades and has commanded the admira
tion and applause Of the play going
world. In Germany his triumph was so
great a few years ago that crowds be-
sieged the stage doors of the theatres.

The Catholic Truth Society.

The Catholic Truth society, recently
organized in Minnesota for the dis
semination of Catholic doctrine and
the refutation of ca.umnies against the
Catholic Church. has already accom-
plished a great amount of good
work by the able manner in which
some of its members have spoken in
defence of the Church, through the
columns of the press, on the attacks of
some of the Protestant clergy Of Min
neapolis and st. Paul. The society
which has it's origin here in Minnesota,
bids fair to extend in a short time It's
work over the length and breadth of the
land. The present officers of the Cath.

The Northwestern Miller says: The
-four output for the past week was Ill.,
ITO barrels. The prospects are poor for
letting water into the West side canal
by May 1st, consequently most OF the
millers who make -four have to do so at
the extra expense involved by the use
of steam. The five Pillsbury mills are
all in operation, grinding 10000 barrels
or more day The heavy fluctuations
in the wheat market have left the -four
market rather unsettled, though strong.
The new dam to be built by the Pills
bury Washburn syndicate will be l 200
feet long, Is feet high, built Of stone,
and about 100 feet below the foot Of
the apron. This is estimated to give a
fall of "a feet, with $4,000 horse power.
The canal below the bridge will be be-
tween 800 and 400 feet long. The entire
Improvement is estimated to cost
$500 600.
There are about 500 men now at work
on the water power Improvement. 1t
will probably be about a month yet b. :

PLAIN WORDS FOR IRISHMEN.

There are thousands of Irish citizens who
have been voting the Democratic ticket year
after wear from force of habit In this state
tbcy will have chance this year to choose
their own ballots by themselves in the booths
without interference from political workers who
have ordinarily swarmed around them at the
oollinp-places. We ask them in making that
choice for Representatives in Congress to give
a few minutes of serious thought to the real
significance of their action.
II these Irish citizens vote for Democratic
candidate for Congress they will be taking the
mart of English manufacturers and traders
atainst American interests. Irishmen have
not been in the habit of voting in Ireland OF
late years as the English people have wished.
they have voted there with reference eX-
clusively to their own interests. 1t is only IN
America that they are accustomed to cast their
ballots in favor of English interests. Free
Trade is the English policy: Democracy in the
United States is making close approach to
Free Trade vote for Democratic can
didate for Congress is vote for English policy.
Is there anything in the history of Ireland
that should predispose Instantaneous to sus-
tain the policy of Free Trader Is it not true
that with the exception of the linen industry
in Ulster Irish manufactures have been de-
stroyed under Free Trade and the people forced
back upon scanty and uncertain soil? Irish
experience under English trade is the strongest
possible argument against the casting OF tho
bulk of the Irish American vote year after
wear for the Free-Trade Democracy.
In the privacy of the ballot-booth this year
there will be leisure to think Of these things.
Principles are more than men when National
legislators are to be chosen. A vote for Re-
publican candidate for Congress is vote for
the American system of Protection. vote
for Democratic candidate for Congress is q
vote for English Free Trade.

IMMIGRATION AND EMPLOYMENT.

One of the most marked effects of American
prosperity under Protection has been vast
increase of population through immigration.
Hundreds of thousands of foreigners have come
in from Canada, England, Ireland, Germany,
Italy and Spain to enjoy the advantages OF
higher wages and q better living here than
they could earn at home. America has relieved
one European country after another from the
pressure of population, and made it easier
for the working classes remaining in the United
Kingdom and on the Continent to find en-
ployment and to fight the wolf from the door.
Now, what is already to be observed as the
first and most important effect of the new
tariff 4? 1t is the creation of new industries
offering employment to artisans of every class.
Foreign as well as American capital is going
into these industries English money is to be
heavily invested in new works for making tin
plate in Pittsburg, Chicago and elsewhere.
French capital is drawn into woollen mills in
Rhode Island for producing goods of the finest
texture. German investors are taking stock
in iron and steel enterprises in Pennsylvania,
Tennessee and Alabama. What will be the
result of the domestication of new industries
with American and European capital behind
them? More employment and better wages
for working population that has been largely
recruited from overcrOwded and underpaid
Europe.
Is It not wiser to establish these industries
and to furnish additional employment for the
European swarms settling on American soil
than it would be to aid in developing the same
industries and furnishing corresponding en-
ployment abroad by importing foreign made
goods? That is a fundamental question in
volved in the pending tariff controversy. After
absorbing the surplus population of England
and Europe is the United States under obliga-
tons to discriminate against its own people,
native and naturalized, and to provide employ.
ment for the working people remaining on the
other sideP Or is it acting under an impera-
tive necessity as we'll as in accordance with
wise policy when it adopts system by which
capital is invested factories are built and work.
men are employed on American soil2 The
surplus population of Europe is already here
and needs to be utilized. Let it be employ ed
hero in native industries rather than thrown
out of work and reduced to restitution through
the offering of free market to European i'm
porations.

TIE LAST DAY OF REGISTRATION.

Yesterdays violent storm must have kept
at bone many ease-loving New orkers, who in
fair weather might have gone to the places Of
registration and had their names put down.
No voter who wants to SOC in public Office men
whom he would consent to take by the hand
can afford to lose his vote this year by failure
to register. To-day offers the final chance
Unless you desire to look upon the slavish
creatures of Tammany the puppets Of an auto
Gratis will, ensconced in every seat Of honor
and profit in the town. making of every such
register to-day, and vote against Tammany on
the first Tuesday of November. Clean hands
and clear heads in municipal affairs can only
be obtained by casting aside the blistering
yoke of Tammany dictatorship, and eleoting
the men who represent the intelligence and
worth of the community. The candidates on
the union ticket are not Tammany parasites,
picked out for picket duty by one imperious
will, but they were fairly selected as trained
and tried men who could be trusted to labor
for the general good.
The Tammany ticket is the ticket OF the
dramshop. Our Tammany Excise Commission
ers are already under Indictment Some other
Tammany officeholders ought to be. Do the
voters of New-York intend to signify their ap-
proval of Tammany's operations in public office
and give Tammany letter Of marque for its
privateering in the future? Read the evidence
before the Fassett Committee, and see how
fagrant!y Tammany has abused all its trusts.
Do you wish to give the City Hall and all the
municipal departments over to the domination
of the dramsellor? Would you like to see the
statue of Justice on the dome of the City Hall
replaced by the figure of Bacchante?
If you wish to keep the rumshop under, you
must vote against Tammany. You cannot vote
unless you are registered. This is no fair
weather campaign. Let no tempest, no OBJ
struction, no hindrance of any kind, prevent
YOUR registering to-day if you are not already
on the registry-lists.

FOOLISH UNTRCTHS.

Two statements are made deliberately almost
every day by Democratic newspapers in this
extraord lary campaign which it seems almost
incredible that any sober person should make
One is that the cost of every necessary of life
has been increased by the new tariff, though
in the same papers which editorially make this
assertion merchants advertise that they will
sell all sorts of goods at as low or lower prices
than before tho new tariff was passed. "Thc
Utica Herald" quotes effectively from adver.
tisements in "The New-York World" and
" Evening Post" "The Buffalo Courier" and
" Albany Argus" "The Boston Globe" "Chi-
capo Mail" Louisville Courier-Journal" and
Manchester Union" side by side with edito-
rial assertions from the same papers, until one
wonders how an editor destitute of conscience
can be also so destitute of sense to print his
falsehoods and the proof of their falsity in the
same sheet. The other statement is that the
Republican party has again raised the rate of
duties on imports, and has repeatedly raised
Il, ever since the War. Newspaper readers OF
either party know that the rate OF duties paid
lust after the War was over 4G per cent, and
for some years past has been less than 80 per
cent. but the new tariff has reduced it still
further.
Disputes are possible about the effect OF many
minor changes in the new tariff But every
man knows that the great thing is the removal
of the duties on sugar and molasses. Last
years imports of these articles were in value
Ss9, 737, 2s4, and the duties paid, at the usual
rate, must have been over sixty millions. The
removal of these would reduce the amount of
duties to less than one hundred and seventy
millions, on imports amounting last year to
seven hundred and eghty-nne millions, so that
the rate would be but 22.s1 per cent. Last year
it was zoos per cent; in the fiscal year 1880 It
was $3.50 per cent, and 30.1l per cent in
1882, 81 per cent in 1872, and 48.49 per
cent in 1863. Whatever the change in other
duties may Bring about, they can hardly make
the rate half what 1t was In 1858.
Men who have no reputation to lose reckon
the new duties on imports of tin plates, wool
and wooIlens, linen cloths and the like as large
az the imports of those articles were last year.
But there is not sensible man on either side
of the ocean who does not know that where
duties have been missed imports will be Ne
