confessed that the tariff had driven
English trade to the wall and practi
cally closed the American market
against them-which is one Of the re-
deeming characteristics of that other
wise onerous law. A scarcity in the
Russian rye crop has forced the Car to
issue ukase prohibiting the exporra-
ton of that cereal. a measure which
will be severely felt in Austria and Ger
many and TO less degree ia England.
Wherefore the London Daily News is
moved to hope that the United States
farmers, whose crops are unusually
bountlful. will use their advantages

ton. 1.-THE making OF corners In the

operation is meyer apparent to an Eng
lishman except when he is the victim.

CATHOLIC RECORD: After the crush
ing defeat of Mr.. Parnell's caadidates
at Sligo and Kilkenny, it scarcely
needed that which followed at Carlow
to show that it is impossible he should
ever again hope to be considered as the
leader Of the Irish Nationalist party.
A few IIishmen persist in accepting
him as their possible leader; but it is
true every where IN constitutionally
governed country that one who has had
for years the most complete confidence
of the people should, under the most
adverse circumstances, retain hold
upon the affections OF certain number
of adherents who find it difficult to
shake off that attachment to one whom
they have continuously regarded as the
only person qualified to lead them on
to a successful issue. 1t is not wonder
full, then, that Mr.. Parnell should still
have followers who regard him in the
light of the future de]iverer of their
country.

nation. The Republican party has i'm
posed heavy taxes on the people's wares,
and in great many cases where there
was no necessity for it. The American
manufacturer will tell you to day that the
silk he turns out is as fine as the best silk
produced in any other country in the
world. still this silk manufacturer is
protected" by go per cent duty. If
this manufacturer produces as good
silk as English or other European man
ufacturers produce, then he has no need
of protection, the quality of his article
giving him all the protection he wants.
Then Why exact 60 per cent duty from
the consumer? The principle of protec-
ton is wrong. and the sooner this &C.
cursed system is wiped out the better.

OUR REOENT GOLD WAYS,

The people Of the Northwest went
through siege of anxiety last week that
they will never forget. The cause Of
their many sleepless nights was a very
sudden drop IN the thermometer, and
chat was enough to make the strongest
of them remember that day may spoil
q years work. A cold wave started in
British Columbia, and came across the
international bourdrY line witout any
regard for customs and laws, and hung
with threatening scowl over the Da-
kotas and Minnesota for two or three
days. For time it was thought that it
would generate enough frost to hurt
wheat and other exposed cereals, but
advices from Washington "that frost
will likely occur tonight" put the far
mers on their guard, and by the aid Of
smudges the crop out-of-doors was
saved. In few localities garden stuff
and corn and in one or two cases
whea was slightly damaged, but the

Ills Curiosity Was satisfied.

A stranger stood alone III the streets
Of great CITY. His hat was shapeless,
his boots covered with the dust of
travel. Around him, on every side, a
huzrylng throng pushed and jostled in
mad haste. He turned to a friendly po~
liceman and said: "SaY: Where be all
these people gwine?" The officer was
dumbfounded at such ignorance.
"Where are they gciag? Why to pur-
chase tickets via the popular Wisconsin
Central. If you are going anywhere,
you want to 20 with the crowd and ride
on the best track. in the most comfort
able cars, and with the greatest ease
you ever experienced. For tickets,
berths and further information, apply

injured was so small that the
farmers will not feel the loss. Unle,s
q heavy frost sets in inside of u few
days the millions of bushels of wheat
now in shock will have gone through
the thresber, or carefully put up in
stacks. The farmers of the Northwest
have mach to be thankful for in escap-
ing serious losses. This cold wave was
particularly severe in Iowa and Ohio
and the Northwest was, to say the least.
very fortunate IN escaping as it did.
But in the face of ali these blessings are
to be found men-wheat SPECTATORS
who say that great deal of wheat was
injured. We know, of course, what this
means. Such talk is not made because
the existing facts demand it, but be-
cause these wheat gamblers think by
sending out such reports they can line
their own pockets at the expense OF the
farmers. Now here is where the far
me1s are liable to encounter a snag when
they come to market their wheat. If
there is any wheat they are in doubts
about, let them put it aside and not mix
it with the other about which there is no
doubt, Then when they come to mar
ket their crop they will be in position
to say to the wheat spectators that
frozen wheat bluffs do not go. The far
mers are receiving great deal of advice
just now on what they should do to get
the price their wheat deserves, but they
mnst not forget that if they do not stand
up for their own rights, they cannot ex-
pect others to step in and espouse them.
The wheat of the Northwest must not be
stolen from the farmers under the sub
terfuge that the wheat Is damaged. We
want to see our farmers get good price
for their crops. Europe is short several
hundred millions of bushels of all kinds
of grain, and our farmers should not be
sacrificed under the pretense of helping
poverty stricken Europe. Let Germany
throw off the duty on grain, and not
make it doublY severe on the poor peo-
pie there. The different European
governments must extend aid to their
people, and not allow them to starve,
when by the judicious expenditure of a
few dollars they can carry their subjects
over in comfort to next season. But let
the American farmers see to it that their
wheat brings what it is worth.

the question whether Australia would

of Italian immigrants. It was thought
that possibly Australian local govern"
ments might offer some Inducements FOR
the immigration of Italians who could
be proved to possess some means and
be of good character. The British
government sent inquiries on the sub.
ject to the Australian authorities, and
have received responses which will
hardly he welcome news to the italian
premier. The Australian agents quite
generally state that Italian immigration
ia not favored by the people OF that
country, and that whatever inducements
are to be offered 10 intending settlers
will, by preference, be extended to
British and German immigrants

SATURDAY, AUGUST 20. 1891,
IRISH POLITICS.

Matters political in ireland are very
quiet just now, owing, no.doubt, to the
fact that the people are busy wiea their
harvest, and have little or no time to
give to the question Of politics. Though
public meetings have been few since
parliament prorogued, the politician
has been busy in the harvest field. If
there is anything that the Irish farmer
likes to discuss it is politics. He will
not, however. neglect his work for the
sake of politics, but he will discuss
parnell's chances, and home rule be-
tween meals. We thought when Dillon
and OBrien deserted the ex-leader that
he would give up the fight, but the
course Of these two patriots did not
phase him a little. He went right on
addressing crowds of people in different
parts Of ireland, telling them what he
did for them and what he would do if
they did az he demanded. He is even
Doing this same thing to-day, and will
continue to do 1t as long as he has got
one man in Ireland to listen to him.
Those who think that Parnell has not a
very substantial following are mistaken.
Hundreds Of people are still willing to
see him at the head of the Irish party,
but it looks now as if they would never
see him there again. We hope Ireland
will not lose anything by this wrangle,
but VIZ are afraid she will.

REFERRING to the prompt action Of
Messrs. Dillon and O'Brien in repudiat-
ing Parnell On their release from prison,
the Catholic Messenger truthfully says:
"The result of their prompt action has
evidently been the most disastrous to
the pretensions of Mr.. Parnell Of any
thing that has so far occurred. Many
assertions. on the part Of members OF
subordinate committees and the press
hitherto supporting him, Immediately
took place, and the immediate result
will undoubtedly be the loss of half Of
his supporters, Parnell, however, still
retains his position Of defiance, and
talks Of holding his position, and of
establishing new papers to take the
place Of those who have deserted him. -

be seen from the bank clearings OF last

sign of the times and QUE business men
cannot but feel that good times are
here, With a good price for grain, and
an abundance of all cereal AND root
crops, there Is every reason for rejoic-
Ing. When we contrast our situation
with that of Europe we must feel that
our lot is happy one.

MAYOR WINSTON vetoed the spring
water ordinance passed. bv the city
council at the meeting before the last.
This ordinance it appears would give
one Phelps the right to Law water mains
as the City engineer would direct. The
franchise obtained is given away To-
stead of being sold to the highest bidder
for cash. The city council would have
no authority to order any mains laid.
and none would be laid unless the city
engineer thought best. The story goes
that c. G. Goodrich, general manager
Of the street railway, is at the bottom
of the whole scheme, and that Phelps is
nothing more than a figure-head. Cal.
would evidently like to get control of
our several water plants, and then up
would 60 the price of water. No fran
chises should be given away, and no
franchises granted for ANYTHING without
the parties asking the same are willing
to pay good round sum for them.
Franchises are valuable, and should be
sold and not given away. Our city
fathers have queer idea of what they
should do. They are all anxious az
parently, to protect the rag and junk
peddlers, but are willing to let the city
go begging when such franchises as we
refer to would sell like hot cakes in che
open market.

THERE is m UGH talk in Minneapo

THERE is m UGH talk i'm Minneapolis
now about curtailing municipal ex-
penses for the coming year. Many
theories have been advanced as to che
best policy to pursue in this regard.
Some suggest few public improvements,
such as the erection of fire and police
stations, while others want to see less
paving and sewerlng done. We all
know that wa coula get along very we'll
for a few years without putting down
miles of cedar block. and building sew
ere, and laying curb and gutter. These
improvements are not as essential as
others contemplated. Those who are
acquainted with the wants Of the police
and fire departments know that new
police stations should be built 10 South
and East Minneapolis, and the fire de-
partment given a new headquarters
building. It is not necessary to put
down any more curb and gutter for two
years; neither is it very essential to the
citY's sanitary condition to pave so
many streets in the next two years as
were paved during the past two. Our
police and fire departments should be
kept up at sill events, and should not be
considered of as little Importance as
they are won't to be. If our city council
would let up little on sewers, paving
and the like tor a while, the problem Of
the city's finances would solve itself.

TIE Minneapolis Exposition opened
Wednesday as announced, and the
grand parade that preceded the opening
was one Of the finest ever Witnessed
here. 1t reminded us of the Willard
parade, aud was witnessed by thousands
of our citizens. Now that the big build
ing is open for inspection the public
can see FOR themselves what is to be
seen. We have no hesitation IN saying
that this years show is the best ever
held here. Next week we will be glad
to join hands with the state fair man
agement, and make that TOO the success
it deserves.

ROGER VAIL returned from Ireland
last Saturday looking we'll and much
improved In health. He says the Irish
people are in reasonable good circum.
stances now, and that the crops are bet.
ter than they have been tor many years.
He says Parnell is making desperate
effort to regain lost ground, but that he
cannot possibly overcome the strong
opposition which he is fighting. We
are glad to know that the people Of Ire.
land will reap good crops this year. ALI
will be we'll if the landlords do not
come in and claim the crops for back
rents.

MORNING STAR: Mr.. Laboucher'

MORNING STAR: Mr.. Labouchere
the other day in parliament told the
government very distinctively that it
was joining in the European coalition
against France merely because France
was a republic and because its policy
was to repress republicanism. This is
plain talk and bold. There is no urea
son in it, however, and, if any prosecu-
tion or persecution were attempted on
