PARNELLITES CONFER.
Nationalist Leaders Fus Their Heads Together
for Future Action Demands Made
Of the Government
Irish Nationalist Confer.

DUBLIN, Oct. GA conference
Irish Nationalist, called by Mr.. Par
nell, was held in this city to-day. Part
of the business of the conference was the
collection of q deputation to visit Amer
lea for the purpose of laying before the
people of that country plain statement
of the situation of affairs III Ireland.
Messrs. John Dillon, William O'Brien,
Thomas P. O'Conuer, Timothy O'Sulli-
van and Abraham Ghilham were ap-
pointed to form the deputation.
The proceedings of the convention
were conducted in private. There was
g very large attendance, and most of the
prominent members of the Nationalist
party were present.
MIR. Justin Mccarthy moved the adop-
ton ofTour resolutions, all of which had
been previously submitted to Mr.. Par
nell.
The fret of these pledges the fullest
support of the National league to tenants
who are threatened with ruin i'll conse-
quencs of the course adopted by the gov
eminent and landlords syndicate.
The second resolution demands that
certain distressed districts in the south
ern and western parts of Ireland be
RlNGu kpsclhl Uy lhc EO'
eminent, and that measures be taken at
once for the relief of the inhabitants.
The government is called upon to inau-
gurate series of public improvements
for the purpose of giving employment
to the people and enabling them to sup
port themselves without charitable
assistance.
The third resolution condemns in en-
phatic terms the condition of the govern
ment in causing the arrest OF Messrs.
o 'Brien and Dillon and other national
leaders arraigned in Tippsrary.
The fourth resolution says that the Ma
tionalist party is compelled by e!rcum-
stances to make an appeal to friends
every where i'll behalf of Irish tenants,
and looks especially to its friends in
America to subscribe generously for the
benefit of the distressed people. This
appeal, the resolution says, is made
most unwiIlingly, but the desperate strait
in which the Irish tenants are now placed
makes it absolutely necessary thar assist
auce should be asked from the friends
and sympathizers throughout the world.

THE PRESIDENTS "ToWER. -

THE PRESLDENT"S "TOWER.
President Harrison will devote this
week to swinging round the circle SO to
speak. He will visit G. A. R. encamp-
meuts in Illinois, Iowa and Kansas, and
spending few hours at The St. Louis
fair on his return from the West, will
hasten back TO the capital. The prime
object of the tour is not to mix with his
fellow citizens of oil classes and parties,
and rejoice with them over the comforts
and blessings OF q popular government;
nor is 1t to put himself on exhibition be-
fore the masses for the purpose of gain
senses. Not much. As prize package
or pocket edition, Benjamin's physical
diminutiveness would allow OF no such
display as that. Masterpieces and not
chromos are placed before the public eye
where stunning effect il desired. No,
the man who merely stands in the shadow
for exciting public admiration. So the
president stands acquitted Of any such
charge or imputation.
His object is merely to join and felici-
tate with the "comrades of the G. A.
r. over the munificence displayed to-
wards them by the session of congress
just ended. He will find In the very gen.

HE SOCN hOdD -d-hENDMEf :
Owing to the dead political calm now
prevailing throughout the state, and the
seeming apathy with which all questions
of state politY or politics are treated, 1t
is feared by some that the county road
amendment may fail to carry at the ap-
preaching election. We think otherwise.
ing or agitation on the subject is proof
enough that public sentiment is well crys-
talized in its favor. 1t should be remem-
bered that nothing whatever, or scarcely
anything, is being said or done respect
ing the commission amendment. l. Is In q
state as absolutely quiesoent as that of the
county road amendment, but no one
thinks for moment that the people are
Iistless or apathetic as to its adoption.
On the contrary it is universally con-
ceded that they feel profoundly earnest
in favor of it, and say nothing because
they know its success at the polls is as
sured. If they thought otherwise you
NAV be sure there would be music in the
air. IT'S even so with the county road
amendment.
That is matter that concerns the
farmers almost exclusively, and more
nearly than does the commission amend
ment. Not only their own convenience
but the value of their farming lands
depend on better roads. The more ac-
cessible farm is to market by virtue of
good roads, the more valuable and
saleable it becomes. Every dollar ex-
pended in the improvement of road
connecting a farm with the nearest
market, adds ton dollars TO the value of
the farm. Hence the stupid folly OF
suffering bad roads to exist, when it is
so directly the interest OF farmers them
selves, both as matter of convenience
and of profit, to improve them by grad
ing and otherwise. The small tax re-
quired for such purpose might. and we
feel sure, will be voted as cheerfuIly as
will the commission amendment itself.
Both are matters that concern the
farmers very much alike, and respecting
both, there can be but little doubt that
they feel alike. When class, any
class, is opposed to given measure, it
does not take things quite so easy as the
farmers are doing now. II declares its
objections, and puts itself in an offensive
attitude towards the scheme proposed.
Have the farmers displayed the slightest
hostility at any time towards the road
tax amendment? Not that anyone knows
about. But for the anti-convention
rumpus kicked up over the commission
amendment, and the great prominence
given that question, we should have
heard more about the road tax question.
While it was overshadowed by the other
matter, it was not forgotten, and at the
election, the twin reformers will emerge
together from the ballot box as they
should, and the question of railroads,
and county roads will be settled for q
period of years.

To Escape Boulsnrist Revelations.

LONDON, Oct. 6.-The French Repub-
lican press join in expressing the opinion
that the Comte de Paris has chosen to
visit America in order to escape the en-
barrassing effect of the Boulauger reva-
lations TO the effect that Royalists had
used Boulanger to accomplish the over
throw of the Republic. The govern
ment's agents are earnestly engaged in
ferreting out the details of the Bou-
LANCER plot with q view to the prosecu-
ton of all implicated, and 1t is intimated
that at the coming session of the cham
beers the ministry will submit bill re-
garding the exiled royal and imperial
females more stringent than that now in
force, and " hich will involve the for
fixture of property in the event of any
treason being proven, and final proceed
ings for plotting to overthrow the exist
ing order of affairs. Leading Bonapart-
Its and Royalists are much alarmed by
the extreme and vigorous course Sof the
government as outlined, and it is re-
ported that several of the conspirators
with Boulanger have made terms with
the authorities by revealing all facts in
their possession and Offering to turn
states evidence in court.
The first stop of the party will be at
Trenton, where the comte will visit Gen.
Mcclellan. While there he will send
dispatch to the widow of Gen. MoClel-
Ian, who is in Europe at the Wooton
county seat. Mr.. George w. Childs
will entertain the party at luncheon at
CLOCK this afternoon. They will be
rendered reception by the mayor and
other officials of Philadelphia. This
evening the Loyal Legion of Philad ell
pha will give reception to the party at

THE revised rendition, "where there's
a will there's q lawsuit, Is vindicated
by novel case that is instituted by the
heirs of Benjamin Franklin. The suit is
10 recover the Franklin fund in Phila-
delphia, now amounting to 500 900, and
is based on what is known as tho law of
perpetuitles in common law. The law
does not provide for vesting of legacy
beyond the term of twenty after the
lifetime of the legatee, except fund 3
devoted to charity, and these heirs
claim that as interest was charged on the
loans the testator's plan did not con
template charity. Should this suit be
successful, there is $500, 900 of the Bos-
ton fund that is also liable.
