To the Editor Ofthc Hcrald.-

To the Editor OF the HcraId:-
issued a manifesto to the Irish people Of
America and through them to all other
classes Of Americans, announcing the fact
that he has SEM delegates to this country
to influence American public opinion and
to obtain further financial support from
this country.
About the same time that Parncll's
manifesto appeared in American news
papers, Hon. +. J, Phelps. Minister to
England under the Cleveland adminstra-
ton, delivered an address in New Haven,
Conn, in which he severely criticised the
action of America iii supplying the money
for the carrying on of the struggle be
tween England and Ireland as being CON
trarv to international law and 4 breach
OF faith with Il friendly power. In the
course of his remarks Mr. Phelps said
" say we have no business to interfere
between these countries, and we shall rue
the day that we did so"
BY the way, what assurance have those
who are so lavishly pouring out their
wealth at the feet OF Mr.. Parnell that il
will be used for the benefit of Ireland and
the Irish cause, and not to enrich choic,
coteric of shame, of which Mr.. Parnel
and Mrs. O'Shea are the principal fig
ures2 The man, who, while receiving
hospitality from another, will deliberate
ly go to work to seducc his hosts wife
break up his home and thus ruin his life
will have but scant hesitancy about con
verting trust funds to his own use whcr
by so doing he can add to his own pleas
urcs or crafty his own desires What
ever Mr.. Parnell's professions may be
whether of friendship or patriotism, hi
acts show that he is one whom to sa,
the least, it is well to watch Ala.

Evidences multiply that the Republican
rartv is renewing its energy and enthu-
siasm. The large gains which the Re
publicans have made in town elections
in New York and New England, i'll State
contests in Michigan and Rhode Island,
and in municipal elections i'll Illinois and
Ohio show Enthusiastically that a revival
ofthe old time Republican confidence and
fighting spirit isinprogress. The apathy
oflast year has passed, The financial
vagaries which led so many Western Re
publcans into strange ways have lost
their charm, and have become manifest
for the humbugs they are. East and
West the grand old party Is wheeling
into line of battle for 1892.
Especially gratifying is the renewal OF
Republican cudcavor and increase OF Re
publican strength in the large cites. 1t
shows that the Mckinley bill lis beginning
to bear fruit and that the wage workers
in the industrial ccntcrs arc waking tC
the fact that the Republican principle o
protection affords their only security tor
continuous employment AZ American
rates of wages.

Rcpublican;sm and the cause of honest
elections 20 hand in hand. Ballotretorn
keeps marching on i'll Republican States
of the Union. Both houses of the New
Hampshire Legislature have just passed
an Australian ballot bill which the Gov
crnor is known to favor The Republican
Legislatures of Maine, Colorado and
California have recently passed election
reform measures. The Republican Leg
islature of Pennsylvania now has ballot
reform bill before it, whose passage is
demanded by the most representative
newspapers and the best elements of the
Republican party Of the State. All this
progress is encouraging. 1t shows how
completely the party of protection to
American labor is committed to the pro
lection Of the ballot box. Standing
firmly on these two great issues, the
Republican party can defy assault. There
is nothing that can strengthen it more
i'll popular esteem than its thoroughidcn
tification with honest politics Thanks
to the courage and foresight OF Republic
can leaders and the sound patriotic prin.
ciplc of the Republican masses, Republic
anism has become synonymous in most
States of the Union with the secrecy of
the ballot and the purity of elections

potent safeguards of the party's future.

cred. ON either side OF the throne, cha r.
upholstered in black haircloth stand, and
are occupied during reception either by
some visiting diguitary of the Church, or
the priests who assist IN receiving.
Around the room are placed large, old
fashioned sofas, also upholstered III the
black hair cloth. At the opposite end of
the room from the throne stands large,
square piano and in the center two very
large round tables covered with red cloth
covers embroidered in yellow. On the
walls hang the portraits of the several
dignitaries OF the Church in Canada
Archbishop Fabrc's is very fine, hut
marrcd in my mind by the effect of his
purple robe on the red carpet. He has a
fine scholarly face, and looks every inch
the man he is. Opposite hangs the fine
portrait of the premier Archbishop OF
Quebec. Bourgct, whom the Canadians
hope TO see soon canon 'zed as a saint.
One portrait of great interest is that OF
the last Francs an triar i'll Canada. My
kind guide told me that when the country
became subject to British rule, the Fran
ciscans were forbidden to take i'll any
more novices, hence as consequence the
order died out in Canada This portrait
represents the last one of the brethren,
standing in his cell, his face sad, but up,
lifted with that hope which had sus'
tanned him through years of sacrifice and
toll. For seeing that alone lwould have
been grateful for glimpse of this most
interesting room. This will suffice fOI
one morning. Never say again there i:
nothing to see here. Au rcvOir.

Who Shall succeed SENATOR Edrnnnd's
Se,,ns to he the question which is cngag-
ing the attention OF the press and people;
and it is an important question to all.
This State for years has by reason OF the
eminent manner in which 1t has been rep
resented in the United States Senate ei.-
loved more than national reputation.
To continue to hold the prestige thus OBJ
tanned is the wish of every good citizen,
and the only question should be who is
the man that cun best I'LL the place.
Among all the names mentioned it
seems to us that Hon. Redheld Proctor
stands first and foremost. For his ahil-
ity as a lawyer, business man, and to
grasp and direct national affairs he has
hut few equals 1t IS universally recog-
uized and acknowledged that he is the
best Secretary of War the country has
had since Stanton. Hcis well known and
respected throughout the country, and Il
appointed Senator he would at once take
n position in the Senate which could IL
attained by no other man named except
after years of service. 1t seems to us thu
most fitting appointment that Gov. Pag'
could make.

Times when things go wrong.

There are times when everything seems
to go wrong. From n. m. till 10 N.
affairs are III a twist. You rise in the
morning and the room is cold, and a
button is off, and the breakfast is tough.
and the stove smokes, and the pipes
burst, and you start down street nettied
from head to foot.
All day long things are adverse. In.
situations, petty losses, meanuess on the
part of the customers. The ink.bottle
upsets and spoils the carpet. Some one
gives wrong turn to the damper and
the gas escapes.
An agent comes iii determined to insure
your life when it is already insured for
! more than it is worth, and youa are afraid
some one will knock you on the head to
get the price of your policy; but he sticks
to you, showing you pictures of Old
Time, and the hour -glass, and deaths
scythe, and a skeleton, making it quite
certain that you will die before yoYr
time unless you take out papers in MS
company.
Besides this, you have n cold in your
head, and grain of dirt i'll your eye,
and you are walking uneasiness, The
day is out Of JOINT and no surgeon can
set it.
The probability is that if you would
look at the weat her-yanc, you would
find the wind is northeast, and you
might remember that YOU have lost
much sleep lately. 1t might happen to
be that you are out of joint instead OF
the day.
BE careful and not write many letters
while you are in that irritated mood;
you will pen some things in the way OF
criticism or fault-hnding that you will be
sorry for afterwards.
Let us remember that these spiked net.
ties of life are part of our discipline.
Life would get nauseating if it were all
honey. That table would be poorly set
that had on it nothing but treacle. We
need little vinegar, mustard, Pepper
and horse-radish, that brings the tears
even when we do not feel pathetic.
II this world were all smoothncss, We
should never be ready for emigration to
n higher and better. clustering March
and weeping April prepare us for shining
May. This world is poor hitchingpo"'
Instead of tying fast on the cold noun
tains, we had better whip up and hasten
on toward the warm inn, where our
good friends arc looking out OF the WIN
dow watching to see us come up.

When TO Plant.

When To Plant.
II. writes to the american Farmer as fol
lows: This question is a very indefinite one
with farmers. Some are governed by the
time Of year, some by their judgment of the
wetness or dryness Of the soil, some by their
views Of the warmth or expected warmth Of
the soil when the plant comes, more by their
readiness, fact of wide limits, some by the
size OF the leaves on certain trees, others by
the appearance of certain migratory birds =
Each and all of those periods arc uncertain.
Take birds. wild geese passed north this
year the End of April; in 1884, goth Of March
Whppoorwills also on the goth Of March; last
year the 9th of April this year, the 18th,
they were not here. In 1890 the martins
came on March 3lst; this year April llth; in
1888, April LIST; on the 9Th in 1880. The
thermometer standing 81, So 81, al degrees
respectively. The difference is 20 degrees r
Does this imply different winter quarters or I
food at earlier stages? With geese it stands
40, and 50 degrees, with whippoorwllls 40
and AZ degrees, and this year not here on the
18th, at Al degrees.
The point might be elaborated with bios
soming Of peaches and other fruits. Hence
we conclude that to secure best results some
other more even and reliable standard should
be used Whenever soils become run down,
the greater the necessity for the utmost care
in everything that pertains to the growth and
feeding Of plants.
