ParnelI,s Appeal for Aid.

LONDON. March 16.-Parnell has
issued his manifesto to the Irish peo-
pie of America. He refers to the past
help received from the Irish there and
commends to them the delegates now
on their way TO America, expressing
the hope that they will receive a fla
voraole reception and hearing. Touch
ing on what he calls the ''hasty and
meddlesome interference of English
politicians in the complex organiza-
ton of our party" he adds; ut now
becomes my task to restore this unity
and reconstruct our movement, looping
off all unsound materials and taking
effectual precautions against the ad-
mission in the future into our army of
any weak, treacherous, self-seeking
elements. Fortune has unveiled this
danger and given space for this re-
construction before the general cleo
ton, and the disclosure has brought u
realization OF the insufficiency of Glad
stone proposed solution of the situa-
ton to secure the liberty, happiness
and prosperity of your brothers and
sisters in Ireland"
The manifesto closes with an appeal
for help TO assist Parnell in forming an
Independent parliamentary party, so
that one more effort to win freedom
and prosperity for the nation might be
made.

Palmer For Pre.,aeu,.

WASHINGTON. March 14.-The name
of John NJ. Palmer OF Illinois, whose
election to the United States senate
terminated dead lock which had at
tracted national attention, is on every
lip.
A prominent politician who arrived
in Washington from New York saws
that when it was known in New York
that General Palmer was elected sem
ator the talk OF Palmer for president
in '92 was rife. At the editorial rooms
OF the Commercial Advertiser. a well
known Cleveland paper, Palner's name
was put down as a candidate for 1892.
1t was stated that the dissention in the
state of New York made the selection
OF New York man wholly impossible.
These views are thought to be very
significant, coming as they do from a
newspaper which has always been n
Cleveland organ and whose editor is a
next-door neighbor and a warm per-
sonal friend of Grover Cleveland. 1t
was stated also that various kilograms
passed between New York and leading
western democrats, the result of which
will probably be announced in form
liable Palmer boom which will be,
launched from New York in the next
day or SO. General Palmer is known
to hold conservative views on the cues

New ZeiIland, undoubtedly has given
the subject considerable thought. He
recognizes results, but ascribes them to
causes from which they do not and can
not naturally and logically in the first
instance proceed. If Mr.. Connolly will
study the subject, argue it along the
line of logical sequences, he will find
that the evils of which he speaks and
all the evils that affect the general in
terest of the people of New Zealand or
any other country are caused by inequit-
able taxation and that the single tax is
the remedy, because it is equitable.

CHICAGO, March 16-Hon. John NJ.
Thurston of Omaha president of the
republican league of the United States,
in an interview to-day said that he
could not allow his name to be used

Con and others as his successor. Re-

for one OF the new circuit iudgeships.

Senator Piercess Modesty.

BISMARCK, N. D., March 17.-Sen.
ator Pierce is strongly urged by his
many friends here to accept the Japan
csc mission which has been formally
rendered him and he is likely to ac-
cept the appointment. He has also
been offered half-interest in the Min
neapolis Tribune worth 5000 900 as a
present and the editorship at S., 900
per annum. His personal pre- ference
is to accept the Tribune stock and edi-
torship and Mrs. Pierce would prefer
that arrangement in order that they
might not be separated from their
children. The senator's political
friends have pointed out to him that
he cannot afford to disregard the pres
tige which the foreign appointment
would give him and that an editorship
can be secured at any time. Senator
Pierce returns to Washington about
the goth inst. for another conference
with the president.

Discussed by Methodist Mtn,.,er.

CHICAGO March 17.-At the weekly
meeting of Methodist Ministers resolu-
tions were introduced deprecating the
hardness of justice in New Orleans and
other cities, yet declaring lynch law
abhorrent to the spirit of our govern
ment. The resolutions caused a heated
debate, in which lively divergent views
were expressed. Rev. Frank Bristol
thought it u shame that the ministers
should hesitate to take bold stand on
such a question. On the other hand,
Rev. DR.. Bland strenuously opposed
the resolution, going so far as to say:
When the law will not take care of a
lot OF murderers it is time the people
did something" The matter was final
ly referred to a committee.

Jerry simpson Does Wear socks.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 13.-Rep-
resentative Jerry Simpson of Kansas
created a sensation yesterday after
noon among the Maryland farmers
now in convention at the state house
when he interrupted tho proceedings
to deny the statement that he did not
wear half-hose. The explanation was
precipitated by n reporter who, during
the recess, called at the Maryland ho-
tel where Simpson was stopping and
sent him note in which he reques ted
the farmer congressman to affirm or
deny the report regarding his foot
wear. The note wound up;
do you wear socksp"
After waiting some time for an an
swer the reporter went back to the
convention, which had just been called
to order, and soon Simpson, hatless
and with his overcoat over his arm,
rushed into the hall and demanded i'm
mediate recognition. He then handed
to the secretary the note left for him
at the hotel. There was q quiet smile
on every farmers face when the secre-
tary finished reading it and all eyes
were turned expectantly on Simpson.
Tossing his coat to one side he faced
the convention and spoke as follows
''Mr. President: This letter refers to
myself and | wished it read to this
alliance and then to make u personal
explanation. 1t has been alleged that
at a certain time in Kansas | had said
the poverty OF the farmers was so great
they could not afford to wear socks.
and that | was living example. So
far as | am concerned there is no truth
in the story. The statement originated
from the brain of a republican editor
in Kansas. My constituents know all
about me and / took no occasion to
deny the yarn. 1t is true that owing
to the high tariff some of the farmers
could not afford to wear socks, and we
were in the same position as was Napo-
leon during the time he attempted to
cross the frontier to attack the Aus
trian army. He was without arms,
and when asked whore he thought he
could get them, said: Take them from
against me was member of the silk
stocking aristocracy, better known as
Prince Hal. At the time OF the cleo
ton | told my people | expected to get
the other fellows socks, and not only
did | get them, but l got his shoes as
we'll.
Il want to say that do now wear
socks and put them on aft r the de-
feat of Ingalls,, which believe was the
beginning of the era that will mark the
time when the humblest people can
wear socks; and people who sustain
the government some of whom are my
constituents, should wear the very best.
| deem it necessary to explain to the
people of Maryland the much vexed
question OF socks. just now | am un :
able to determine which has given me
greater reputation-my feet or my
head"
This speech was greeted with tu-
multuous applause after which the bus
mess OF the convention was proceeded
with. "

President HarrisOn's Delicate Posi-


WASHINGTON, March 16.-President
Harrison is now experiencing the most
delicate period OF his official career.
Heretofore he has been called upon to
deal only with questions in hand. Now
he is asked to deal with theories and
hypothetical questions on paper His
mail was never so large except during
the first three months of his expert
ence at the white house. when about
half million citizens sought office
and each felt it his Christian duty to
have as many of his friends as posi-
Bile address the head of the nation an
urgent appeal. The correspondents
at present largely deal with the polit-
ical future of the president and the
organization of the party nationally or
by states, districts, counties and town
ships. They seek advice and point
ers.' The president has many oppor-
tunities to commit himself us to his in
dividual plans and preferences politi-
cally. He is frequently requested to
announce whether he is "a candidate
for denomination, Notwithstanding the
fact that General Harrison is not the
character of man who would announce
his intentions, one way or the other
thus far in advance. If for no other
reason than that wrong construction
would be placed upon his action. With
about sixty ex-senators and ex-con-
gresham and probably three hundred
other prominent men seeking the nine
new judicial appointments and an army
of applicants presenting their claims
for the land court and other places
the routine work of the president is at
this time yoluminous.
