Irish Voter. and hrlt,sn Interests.

The number of voters of Irish birth or
parentage in the United States is very
large; and it is safe to say that nine
tenths of them are firm adherents of
the cause of Irish home rule. AS q
rule they have generously given both
moral and financial support to the
cham pions of Irish nationality across
the sea. The effect of their action has
been admitted alike in the British press
and the halls of Parliament. 1t is a
common saying among Englishmen that
but for American contributions, the per-
sistent fight for Irish self-government
could not be kept up. The abuse and
sneers which British Tory organs and
orators lavish upon rish-Americans
for the aid they have rendered to their
oppressed countrymen is the best evil
dence that this aid has been effective.
Yet a great majority of Irish Ameri-
can citizens, while sending funds over
the Atlantic to maintain the contest
against English greed and tyranny,
have been fighting England's battles in
the United States. In associating them.
selves with the pro-British, free trade
Democracy these voters have been
working for British interests lar more
etfectually than if they had remained in
Ireland as hewers of wood and drawers
of water for the English landlord caste.
The success of the Democratic party at
the ensuing presidential election would
be triumphantly hailed by every Brit
ish Tory as blow to the industrial in
dependence Of the United States. 1t
would be greeted with delight by every
British manufacturer. 1t would add
enormously to the wealth and CONNER
cial power Of England. Every Irish
man in the United State, ought to read
this declaration from the great London
journal, Engineering, in its issue of
April i:
There is q somewhat general idea in
this country that the Mckinley tariff bill
will be repealed before long, or at all
events be 50 much modified that the sting
will be taken out of those clauses most
Objectionable to the British manufact-
urers; and it is for this reason that the
hopes OF the Democrats for the approach
ing tprcsidpnnal election are so largely
shared In this country.
Every vote for the Democratic party
and free trade is vote for the aggrand-
izement Of England. Every vote for
Republication and protection is blow
~ England's selfish ambition TO control
American markets. How much longer
will Irish Americans continue to serve
their hereditary enemy and oppressor
by supporting the party that is for En-
gland and against America?

wisely BENEVOLENT bill through Congress,
. bill that has proved an inestimable
blessing to this country as one Of the
sturdiest bulwarks of tne home prin-
ciple. Yet, so far as we remember, the
| first appreciative public demonstration
in his honor was in the little city OF
Montrose, Pa, three weeks ago, by the
Susquehanna Legal Association, to
which body a life-size portrait Of Mr..
Grow was tremendously presented.
Wien Mr.. Grow took his seat in Con-
gress, December z, 1851, he was its
youngest member. Webster, and Clay
Charles Sumner, and Stephen A. Doug
las, and William II. Seward, and Salmon
p. Chase, were then in the Senate, and
in the {. House were Toombs. and
Stephens, and Breckenridge, Andrew
johnson, Joshua X. Giddings, Thomas
A. Hendricks. q host OF able men. The
boyhood of Mr.. Grow had been passed
in the northern part OF Pennsylvania,
which was then something of a wilder
ness, and in the struggle of settlers to
acquire homes in that region, the hard
ships they had to endure to raise the
means to pay the purchase price to the
original owners, he saw the virtues of a
government that opened its lands to the
easy acquisition OF the poor man anx-
ious TO establish home for his loved
ones.
He determined to use his influence as
congressman to secure that advantage
to the pioneer settlers Of the new coun-
try, and he began the advocacy of the
principle that tho true policy of gov
eminent is to secure it's unoccupied
lands to the landless people, and to pee
vent by law, so far as possible, the abb
sorption Of the earnings of labor for any
other purpose than the making its home
comfortable and its fireside happy. His
first speech on mans right to the soil
was made March 80. 1852, and he kept
persistently agltating the subject until
his proposition took form in law ten
years later. The fight was hard one.
for it involved the rights of labor against
the interests of capital, and it's success
required such unremitting, tireless
championship as Mr.. Grow gave to a
matter for time anything but popular
with Congress, Notwithstanding the

BISHOP WALDEN nad everything $
own way. Although about 80 years of
age, he does more work than almost any
other preacher in the convention, and is
held in the highest regard by the clergy
and the laity. He is one of the marked
characters among the bishops, though
age is telling on him. At the close of
the bishops address he presented to the
conference native African girl about
4 years DID, and only nine months out
of heather Africa. The little girl was
placed upon the speakers table amid
great cheering. When Bishop Taylor
said that the child had been out of hea-
thendom only nine months, Bishop Fow-
Ter added: And is now i'm the general
conference" This sally brought down
the house. Bishop Bowman stepped to
the table and took the child by the
hand, at which a colored delegate shout
ed that now prophecy Is fulfilled in that
Ethiopia has stretched forth it's hands

man, as he was the one that took tho
outstretched hand, created storm of
applause. This was one Of the most
pleasant incidents of the conference SO
far.
In the discussion OF the American
university and Christian education, all
the addresses were with reference to the
proposed great university at Washington,

The Colors Were Not Fast.

A peculiar case of poisoning is report
ed by the Chicago News from the Bristle
Ridge neighborhood, north of Craw-
louisville, Ind. At large party new
tangled kissing game was introduced,
which proved very popular. The young
men on arriving drew strings of varie-
gated coloys from box and then select
ed girls whose dresses matched this
string. The young granger then took
one end Of the string in his mouth and
the girl attached her face in a similar
way to the other, both then chewed up
mouth, when several kisses were ex-
changed. At the party in question the
person loloring the strings had used
dyes which were not fast and the colors
ran. Several were poisoned very
seriously, and it is feared that one or
two cases may result fatally.

The nature Of the scheme was set forth
by Bishop Hurst while presiding. Rev.
DIR. Moulton, the English delegate. was
called for by the audience, and re-
sponded briefly, expressing his approval
Of the magnificent scheme and faith in
It's contamination. 1t was announced
that several subscriptions had already
been promised, Mrs. McCabe taking the
first share of $1,000. Another sum
across the water Is only waiting for
some one to go after 1t. A resolution
was adopted asking the bishops to desig-
nate Oct. 16 as Columbian day, when
subscriptions will be taken for the Amer
lean university.
A resolution unanimously passed ask
ing all the societies of the Methodist
Church to decline to ask for or receive
any financial aid from the United States
Government for any educational or re-
ligious work-whether among the In
dams or others. 1t was stated that the
Methodist Church. as a church, had never
asked for or received any such aid,
though some quasi Methodist organiza-
ton had received few thousand dol
lars. The Methodist Church goes on
record as being utterly opposed to the
government assisting any religious body
in financial way. If any denomina-
ton cannot live without government aid, ,
the feeling was that 1t would be better
for it to make an assignment and go out
of business. A complete separation Of
church and state is an absolute neces-
sity, and by this action of the General
Conference the Methodist Church has
joined hands with the great Baptist
Church, which, so it is claimed, has
never received any government aid for
UNCONVENTIONAL purposes.
The farewell remarks of DR.. Moulton,
the Wesleyan delegate, were in good
taste, and were heartily applauded.
Bishop Vincent's response in behalf Of
the conference was eloquent and COM
prehensive. The conference joined in

Rondout, N. Y, Oct. 11.-When the
carpenters at work on the new Metho-

ty, ceased work Saturday night Gen.

portrait of President Harrison, which he
ordered one of the men to nail OF top Of
the church. Gen. Depuyser is paying for
the building of the church, so his order
was promptly obeyed.
Early Sunday worning an enthusiastic
young Cleveland man climbed the steeple
and pasted a picture of Cleveland over
that of HARRISON. A great crowd had
gathered in the meantime n the young
Democrat was Justify cheered. One OF
Gen. Depuyser's employees next attempted
to climb the steeple, but was set upon
and dragged away. :
A general fight ensued. While it was
in progress the man with Harrison's pic
ture broke away and succeeded in climb
ing out of reach and covering b picture
of hte Democratic candidate. No sooner
had he reached the ground than another
man succeeded in getting above the
crowd, and amid a shower of stones
climbed sloly upward. Soon Cleveland's
picture was again in place.
Gen. Depuyser was very angry and de-
manded that the picture of Cleveland be
torn down, but the Democrats were de-
termined and the picture of Cleveland
remained in it's conspicuous place all
day.
