Philippe BY A PRIEST.
He Gives the Irish Party a Lecture on
Morality.

LONDON, Oct. 12-Canon Doyle, the
first priest who denounced Parnell, and
who has assisted the anti -Parnellites in
all their recent elections, publishes in the
Wexford newspapers a letter which bids
fair to set all Ireland by the ears. He
throws the blame for the scandal which
marred Parnell's later career upon the
entire Irish party, with but few excep-
tions. He charges that they willfully
condoned ParneIl's immortality for years,
and adds that the reason they scorned to
notice their leaders, bad morals was a
good one.

Sixty Dollars an Hour for 1 900 Years.

In the course Of a speech delivered
before the Young Mems Democratic
Club at Boston on Jefferson's birthday,
the Hon. Benton McMillin, of Tennes-
see, gave this colnpendious and in
structive sketch oftae Billion Congress:
"Besides this Congress the extraVa-
gance of all others sinks into insiSnlfl-
canoe. A billion eight million spent IN
two years is its record. a sum so great
it has to be divided up and considered
in sections aud by comparison to com-
prehepd it. 1t is SIG a minute for all
the time since the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence was signed. 1t is $50 for
every hour since the Saviour was born
into the world. You have all heard Of
the prodigal son. His squandering
was nothing when compared to theirs.
If he could rise from the tomb be would
blush because he had been outdone.
He would stand forth as parsimonlous
as ShWock when compared to these.
And l apologize to the shade OF that
poor squanderer for doing him the in
Justice to compare him to this Con-
gress. He squandered only his own in
heritance, not that of others. Besides,
he repented, while they never did"

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
Senator Edmunds Thinks the Next Presi-
dent Will be Elected by the House.

WASHINGTON, April G.-The Star
this afternoon prints an interview with
Senator Edmunds on the present state
of affairs.
as not the present political sltua-
ton one Of extraordinary interest and
importance" the reporter asked.
"Yes," replied the Senator, after a
moments thought, II think 1t IS IN
one sense as applied 70 one aspect OF
affairs, namely, the Farmers Alliance
subject. In other respects I do not see
that it is essentially different to what
it has been for several years. In re-
spect to the Farmers Alliance matter
it is in its present form a new expert
ment in this country, but not an un-
natural one. There have been analo-
gous foments in former times; but the
present condition makes the political
situation in this respect interesting and
important, for what its effect will be
upon the next national election, take
it. no one can foresee with precision"
What dangers to both parties and
to the country are there in the sltua-
tion??'
81 don't think there is any danger to
the Democratic party" the Senator re-
piled, with a faint smile, "for in the
next Presidential election, if the Farm
ers' Alliance should carry many States
without having a majority of the Elec-
toral College, the simple result would
be that there would be no election by
the people, and the present House of
Representatives, having a very large
Democratic majority of States as we'll
as members, would elect the Demo-
cratic candidate in constitutional and
regular way, although he may have
carried the smallest number Of States.
As to the danger of the Republican
party, it is that the Farmers Alliance
may carry the next Presidential election
in some States that would otherwise
vote for the Republican candidate, and
thus, in effect, if there should by no elec-
ton he the people, give the election to
the Democratic candidate by the House
of Representatives"

ceived in a Flag Rush.

CINCINNATI, April 15.-There was a
grand flag rush at the university yester-
day. On last Saturday the freshmen
got the keys of the building and hoist
ed their flag on the flagstaff on the roof.
An hour afterward John Hayden, a
sophomore, climbed up a lightning rod
100 feet, thence across the root, captur-
ed the flag, and descended to the
ground in safety. Yesterday the sopho-
more went out on the campus to per-
form the usual funeral ceremonies and
burn the flag. They had scarcely fired
the flag when they were attacked by
fifteen freshmen in a general fight.
For two hours the battle waged.
Finally the freshmen retreated with
the half-destroyed flag. Bruises,
scratches, black eyes, &C., were eX-
changed without number. but there
WAS only one serious casualty. J. T..
Marcuson, freshman, aged Is, had his
right leg broken and three ribs of his
side crushed in, and it is feared tina, he
cannot recover.

INGALLS, TURNS FARMER.
Cultivatiug Farm and Presidential As
pirations.
kansas City Special. !


Since his retirement from public
office, Ex-senator John J. Ingalls, has
developed into a full-fedged farmer.
He owns a thirty-acre tract of land
south of his residence in Atchison,
Kansas, and, as soon as spring weather
permitted, he began turning it into
large truck farm. At present he is en-
gagged in planting potatoes. He does
not shovel dirt or do other disagreeable
things. He has two stout colored men
to perform the manual labor, and he
stands on convenient boards and strict
ly supervises the work. He spends
several hours each day on his farm,
and seems greatly infatuated with it.
He walks about the place attired in a
light: suit. of clothes and gray over
coat of forgotten vintage. He also
wears a blood-red necktie and carries
cane. He seldom visits Atchison's
business streets, but when he does he
drives down in farmers spring
wagon, transacts his business and goes
back home. He refuses to talk politics
to any one, saying always that the
burning question of the day is potatoes.
MY plans" he says, "for the future
ar. to make money by farming"
Mr.. ingalls, owns fine piece of tim
bered land, 500 acres in extent, south of
Atchison. He has contracted to have
most of the timber cut, and his sum-
mer he is going to attend all the fine
sales and purchase good animals for
high class stock .a.n. 1t is hinted
that he will soon write book on the
subject.

son has undertaken, if he travels, mas
he ought to travel, on an independent
and self-respecting basis; but 1t would
be still costlier for man in his station
to accept expensive f&vors from corpora
tons which manage to secure, sooner
or later, and in one shape or another,
valuable consideration for "courtesies"

We assume that the Presidentis is paying
his way, and we hope he will get his
moneys worth.
What would Gen. Benjamin Harri-
sons grandfather have said, If that
simple and pious patriot could have
looked out of his log cabin door as the
Atzalan, the Coronado, the New Iea-
land, the IdNsl, and the Vacuna rolled
by, with the grandson at the tail Of the
observation car making observations
for 1892?
Fortunately, we know exactly what
William Henry Harrison would have
said. His sentiments are recorded IN a
document which We hope hasa place IN
the library of the car Atzalar, for peru
sal during the journey: "a source OF
evil is the eligibility of the same indivl-
dual to second term of the Presidency
The sagacious mind of Mr.. Jefferson
early saw and lalnented this error, and
attempts have been made, hitherto
without success, to apply the amenda-
tory power the States to its correction.
AS, however, one mode of correction
is in the power of every President, and,
consequently, in mine, it would beuse-
less, and perhaps invidious, to enume-
rate the evils of which. in the opinion
of many of our fellow citizens, this
error of the sagesSwho framed the Con-
stitution may have been the source, and
the bitter fruits which we are still to
gather from it if it continues to dlsfl-
cure our system. Republics can COM
NIT no greater error than to adopt or
continue any feature in their systems
of government which may be calculat-
ed to create or increase the love of pow
er in the bosoms of those to whom ne
cessity obliges them to commit the
management of their affairs. And sure
ly nothing is more likely to produce
such a state of mind than the long con-
tinuance of an office of high trust.
Nothing can be more corrupting, moth
ing more destructive of those noble feel
ings which belong to the character Of a
devoted republican patriot. When this
CORFU pting passion ouce takes possess
sion of the human mind, like the love
of gold, it becomes Unsuitable. 1t is the
never-dying worm in his bosom, grows
with his growth, and strengthens with
the declining years of its victim.'
These words were uttered by the
Presidents grandfather just fifty years
ago and only one month before he
started from the WhiteHouse Oh his last
great journey. They are as true now
as they were half century ago, and 1t
would be the part of wisdom and pa
triotism for President Harrison to pom
der them as be rolls along through the
country Oh his $4,000 expedition in
company with the never-dying worm.

IRBY COULDN'T STAND IT.
A Boycott in Laurens Because of an 1nvi-
tation to Judge Haskell.

[Statt Report Spartanburg Herald.]
For some reason. most probably be-
cause most of the fat offices are already
filled land not few by Laurens mem,
the political market has been unusu-
ally dull for the past few weeks. In
fact, the people had so far forgotten the
late contest rs to cast about for indus
trial enterprise and to work for the ma
terial advancement Of the town. They
decided to make a bid for the State In
dustrial School for girls. Senators and
Congressmen were enlisted in the cause
and matters had gone SO far as to win
the approval of the grand Triumvirate,
so the story goes. The Industrial
School secured, Laurens had with one
stroke established berself
Alas, the tender leaves Of hope were
destined to be subjected to a frost-a
killing frost! In All unguarded mo-
ment an indiscretion was committed.
Professor Evans, of the Laurens Male
academy, invited Gen. a. c. Haskell
to make literary address before the
school at its close in June. This
was done without the knowledge
or consent of the Howers that be, and
Senator John L. NJ. Irby at least was
very indignant. He could not allow
his son to remain one day longer at the
school which would listen to literary
address from Gen. haskell, and it is
also said that Col. 1rby's enthusiastic
support of Laurens as q site for the in
dustrial school ended with the an
nouncement and whereas once the case
was different, now Laurens is mot in
it," Of course, the affair created great
comment. Some people thought it
was mistake to invite Gen. Haskell
in view Of recent events. Others
thought differently, but did not find
one individual who justified boycott
ting in the premises.

Laurens' chances for getting the girls

In conversation this morning Col.
Irby stated to me that his sympathies
had been enlisted with the town to get

intended to work for it; that the town
had asked him to use his influence, and
that he was doing so; but that, feeling
that the town endorsed the action Of
Prof. Evans, he had given notice that
he had withdrawn his influence, and
would have nothing more to do with
it. He further said, however, that he
does not intend to fight the efforts tc

regard to the matter had been healed

will give him an enthusiastic welcome
