MR,. PARNELI'S INGRATlTUDE

Mr.. Parnell is playing 8 desperate
game to win, but he will fail. Having
failed to solicit sympathy from the peo~
pie OF Kilkenny during the recent cleo
tion there by abusing Gladstone, and
holding up his views of Home Rulo to
derision, he has lately given himself
more latitude in another direction, viz;
protection to Protestants. In a, speech
delivered at Tralee he said: "Guaran~
tees should be given to Irish Protestant
families scattered throughout the coun~
try that the, would not be injured in
property or sentiment when Ireland re-
covers the right to rule herself" This
is desperation in the extreme. How can
il be possible that man like Parne]l,
who has enjoyed the confidence OF the
Irish Catholic people at home and
abroad, would make such q statement?
Having exhausted all the means possible
to defeat the opposition and failing in
that, he falls back on religious preju
dices. He endears to stir mp a feeling
that is foreign to all classes Of people in
Ireland, save the handful OF depraved
Orangemen. 1t certainly comes with
very poor grace from Mr. Parnell to say,
much less insinuate, that the Catholic
people of ireland are anything but
liberal with their Protestant nelghbors,
AS to the way they treated Parneil HIM
self we will here quote what Archbishop
Croke says: f'Mr. Parneu is the last
man alive who should entertain, or give
expression to, SO foul and baseless q
caiumny on the Catholic people of Ire
land who, together with their priests and
bishops, eight years ago, presented him,
processing Protestant, with "a money
testimonial amounting to nearly eA0, 600.
THAT is to sag, he has been in receipt OF
at least $4,000 year fro1n the Irish
people for the last eight years; and I
now put the question to him and to his
political adherents. whether Ii would be
possible for him to realize for himself
such sum as that, or anything ap-
proachipg to it, in any legitimate calling,
and furth arrnore, whether, admitting
that his services have been great, and
his labors considerable. in the National
cause. he has not been superabundantly
paid for them by money alone, to say
nothing of his political influence and
patrona9e?" This is the whole situation
in nutshell Archbishop Croke knows
what he is talking about. He has seen
the money flow into Parnell's Golfers
year after year, and does not hesitate to
say what he thinks Of Parnell's latest
break at the Irish cause. No mention
is made by the Archbishop of the hatfui
of money that the Irish people all over
the world sent HIM when the Parnell
commission was in session. 1t is not
very agreeable to have to refer to this
matter now. The money that Pacnell
received from his admirers all over the
world would fill bushel basket and
tso-thirds of this was contributed by
Catholics. Parnell has made many bad
moves since the closing scene of the
U'Shea case, but this his latest is the
worst of all.

There was stored in the Commercial
Cos. ware house at one time this
spring, 300, 900 pounds of wool.
This was only the partial product of
Washington county, and was valued
at between $50, 900 and S75, 900.
We do not know what the average
yield per head was this year, but
tlking it at six pounds the 300, 600
would represent so, 600 head of shesp,
which at 50, 80 per head would be
worth 1925, 900, and this not being
all, as previously stated, it is reason
able to suppose that there are $780,
900 worth of sheep on the ranges of
Washington county, which is pretty
good for our yet undeveloped comfy.
TAT least 600, 600 pounds of wool are
produced within radius of 100
miles around Weiser. The facilities

THE GREAT COPPER STRIKE!
RAPID RIVER EXCITEMENT
n Wonderful Discovery
IeO Miles North of
WciSeI-.

There are so many rumors of wond
erful strikes in the mountains of Idaho
every summer, says the Free Press,
and so many of them are due TO the
lively imginations of professional
liars, that the cautious newspaper ma n
is no longer credulous enough to be-
lieve all he hears. But it seems abso-
olutely certain, from all the accounts
We can get, that notable addition has
been made to the visible mineral
wealth OF our county by the discovery
of agreat copper lead, five feet in
width, in canyon of Rapid river, three
miles above the Tom Pollock ranch.
The out-croppings are reported to be
so substantial and rich as to be beyond
belief, the ledge towering up above
the formation as strong and solid as
house, with seams and threads of
pure copper running all through it.
Ten locations have been made on the
ledge 1t is a contact vein in a
| formation OF lime and slate, The ore
is reported to carry fair valuation in
gold and silver, and it is reported to
average 60 per cent in copper. The
discovery was made by our friend
1"Long" Thompson, formerly of Wood
river, who was in Warrens last sum
mer Harry Cone has visited the ledge,
and he assures us that it is hardly
possible to over-estimate its value
and possibilities. Parties returnin,
from the Seven Devils report nothiny
in that camp worthy of comparison
with the new strike. Rapid rive
heads on the northeastern slope of tn,
Seven Devils range, and the scene o
the new strike is on the same minera
belt as the great copper camp. Th
distance from Pollock to the Peacoc
mine is not to exceed % miles.
