A BETTER DAY FOR IRELAND.

Hon. Patrick A. Collins, Of Boston,
n Of the most respected leaders in the
Irish cause IN this country, has recently
returned from Europe where he held a
consultation with the Irish parliament
airy leaders. AS a result, Mr.. Collins is
most hopeful of an amicable settlement
OF all difficulties existing between the
factions known as the McCarthyites and
the anti-McCarthyites. For the first
time in many months the leaders OF
both wings of the Irish party we're
brought together. The discussions were
friendly and of such nature as to lead
Mr.. Collins to believe that a union will
be quickly formed.
This is gratifying new indeed. The
differences in the Irish party which
often lead to physical encounters have
been most d~eplorable to the friends
in this country who have contributed 30
literally for home rule. They have fully
appreciated the fact that there was
little hope for success so long as the two
factions persisted in their Kilkenny
fights.
1t is a long hard fight at the best and
with dissentions at home is altogether
hopeless. Whenever union in the Irish
party is fully restored the home rule
forces in all parts of the world will again
be ready to give battle, and from the
present attitude of the liberal party in
Great Britain, victory will not be far
distant.

THAT silver plank in the republican
platform may satisfy republican news
papers, but the free coinage men have
no use for it. The San Francisco
Chronicle says: eastern republicans
are asking whether California will be re-
publican next November, and a Califor-
MIA statesman on his travels answers
that there is no doubt on the point be-
cause this Is not a silver state. What
does Mr.. Estee mean? Does he ques-
ton the sincerity Of the plank on silver
in the republican platform? It's Ian
guage is plain enough TO preclude that
idea. Or docs he mean to suggest that

While it is undoubtedly true that the
nomination of Ex-P President Cleveland
would give the greatest satisfaction to
the vast majority OF democrats in the
country at large, it is also true that he
may not be decided upon by the Chicago
convention us the most available can
didate. 1t is certain that before he is
nominated the democrats will be shrewd
enough to satisfy themselves, at least,
that tho split IN New York is closed. 1t
is not believed that he will be nominated
with a wild yell before the situation is
carefully reviewed and the chances Of
election carefully weighed. From all
expressions gathered there are no
reasons for believing that the friends OF
Mr.. Hill In New York state will bolt Nj.
Cleveland at the polls and yet it will be
necessary to settle all difficulties at
Chicago. Therefore, we assume that if
nominated the reign Of the white
winged dove Of peace in New York state
will have been inauguIated.
But suppose the difficulties in New
York democracy are such as to make
Mr.. Cleveland's nomination undesirable9
There are other good men, and like the
young Lochinvar, they come out from
the west. There is Col. William r.
Morrison, a great man from every point
Of view. The Washington Post very
truly says Of him:
Col. Morrison's sterling abilities and
patriotic services to his country are matters
OF public record. 1t is n record that dates
back many year,. II is a record of usefull-
ness, honor n distinction throuehout.
He was a gallant soldier in two wars, was
one of the foremost men in congress- for a
long period. has always been \ democrat
and stands in relation to tariff reform as
one of its earlisst and most effective advo-
Gates. He possesses qualities and qualit-
cations that commend him to the confidence
Of his party and the respect Of the people.
Tho democracy might 60 farther and fare
much worse in the selection Of Il standard
and should tho choice of a western
man be deemed expedient he ia not unlikely
prove a formidable competitor for the
The banner of tariff reform could be
in no better hands than those of
Col. Morrison, who will live IN history
along with John G. Carlisle, as the
greatest congressional leader in this
issue.
Then there is Gov. Horace Boles of
Iowa, who will take high rank as a can
dldate at the outset, regardless of the
others. Though comparatively new in
national politics Gov. Boies has made
a running record in Iowa the like Of
which has not been seen in this country
in very many years. At the head of the
democratic hosts in that old and
strongly-entrenched republican fortress
Gov. Boles not only led them to victory
but routed the enemy to confusion.
Twice elected governor of Iowa he has
made a splendid record as an executive
and has given evidence that he is fully
equipped for presidential duties.
Morrison or Boies will arose the genu-
enthusiasm of Montana democrats if
a western candidate is to be chosen.

One of the most brilliant and yet most

days of that heroic city. knew him we'll.
His form WAS az erect as an Indians and
his eye as black as coal and az keen as an
eagle. His fac. was handsome, and a smile
always played around his lips until he be-
came angersd. and then his face resembled
the sudden outburst of a storm. lie was a
knight that knew NO fear. and three times
did no leave the field Of honor, his adver-
snries stretched out on the grass. He never
gave an insult and neve: took one. He
soon became morose, gullen and
ionable. Then he was ambitious for polit-
ical preferment, but after repeated defeats
became tired Of life and died from a wound
inflicted by his own hand. He had dressed
in a new suit of clothing, and lying down
on the side of the bed in his room at the
hotel. he fired the bullet that sent his soul
into eternity. Upon a table near him, with
the paper still damp with ink, were found
the following touching lines:
Swiftly speed DER the waite of Time
spirit Of death.
In manhood's morn. in youthful prime,
WOO thy breath;
For the glittering hues Of hope have fled,
Like thu dolphin's light;
And dark are the clouds above my head
As the starlsss night.
O., vainly the mariner signs for rest
Of the peaceful haven;
The pilgrims shrine for the saints of the blest,
The calm of Heaven.
The galley slave for the night winds breath
At burning noon;
But more gladly would l spring to thy arms, cold
death;
Come soon; Oh. come soon!
