:Irving to be Honored.

LONDON, June 2S.-Apropos of the de-
cision of the University of Dublin to con-
Ter the degree Of LID. on Irving on the
occasion OF its tercentenary celebration,
the Berlin papers point out that such an
honor never yet has been offered to a
German actor, with the single exception
OF Herr Deyrient, who was made Doctor
by the University OF Jena, but then only
IN recognition of the literary talent he
had displayed in writing his Luther
Festspiel." The fact is that the social po-
sition OF English actors is very much
higher than their German brethren on
the stage

cient of our second line OF battleships,
as will, also, be the Sultan, when duly
renovated. The wonderful strength OF
the hulls of our older ironclads is in great
measure due to the fact that they were
constructed of iron and not ofsteel plates.
They were consequently thicker and the
work of the riveter, when they were
built, was, if more laborious, probably
more conscientious than it is now.

failed to attract. The cast was strong
one, and every performer in the bill was
q character actor, although the names
of Ada Dyas and Mamie Craddock were
absent. But it is safe to say that ''old
man Stoddart" drew half the house,
for everything he does betokens the
presence of great artist. The first act
dragged terribly until the tabIeau where
Squire Tucker threatens to break the
wicked Pages head. From that period
till the aenouement of the play, the
whole audience was in a glow of rap
port with the players.
1t is unjust to particularize where SO
much sigal merit is made manifest,
but Colonel Moberly, Colonel Preston
and the squire seemed to hold the coign
OF vantage, while the faithful old De-
catur came in for more than an ordinary
share of applause. The ladies' parts
seem just trifie tame, but their dress
was perfect, and they were fascinating as
they could be with the parts entrusted
to them. Not the least attractive por.
tion of the entertainment was the negro
quartette, whose voices are splendidly
balanced and blend in the most perfect
harmony. Alabama will be given to-

TEE Jolly CANNON OF PROTECTION,

There was nothing more in keeping
with "the eternal fitness OF things
than the election of Governor McKin-
ley, of Ohis, as chairman of the Mime
apolis convention which renominated
Benjamin Harrison for the presidency.
Some men would have claimed immu-
nifty from such a station, on the ground
that the duly elected senior magistrate
of great state should sink the partisan
out OF sight for the time being, and hold
himself above the noxious vapors of the
hustings. But Mckinley is "not built
that way" The convention was not a
partisan convention of the stamp which
had nominated Lincoln as the standard
bearer of that same party, thirty-two
ago. 1t was simply ''rodeo" of tariff
pigs and their attorneys, flushed with
the spoils they had filched from the
people and anxious for the denomination
OF Harrison, in order that they could
steal for four years longer. Hence
William Mckinley, author of the ma
tional game OF brace, otherwise known
as tariff" was "the right man in the
right place."
William Mckinley, aforesaid, is the
man who went through the state of
Ohio last year and told the people of that
state that the measure which is known
by his name reduced the tariff on sugar
in such way. as to relieve the Ameri-
can people of s54 ,00O, 900 in taxes an
nually. This he pleaded as sort OF
mechanics lien upon the gratitude OF
the people. If he told the truth when
/ he made this assertion, why did he not
pursue the candid line still further and
say that his party, for quarter-century,
had been taxing the people SD, 900, 900
annually when the government had no
use for the money?
| II the Mckinley bill merely forced the
masses to supply the government with
superlative revenue, that would be bad
enough in all conscience. But it goes
even further, and compels them to sup
| ply favored class of manufacturers
with revenue likewise. What did we do
| in 1891 Why, we imported $S45, 600, 600
OF foreign goods, and paid as duties on
them $2l9 800, 900, all of which went to
defray the expenses of the federal gov
ernment. In that same year, however,
we likewise consumed about two and a
half billions of home manufactures, on
which the people of the United States
paid more than three times 2l9,500, ,00C
to the privileged class Of manufacturers
If Mr.. Mckinley had been as ingenious
as he was ingenious, he might have told
the people that they ought to be thank.
full to congress and the manufacturers
agents therein for reducing the sugar
tax and declining to rob them any
more.

A TOUCHING APPEAL.

Few passages in recent local political
literature are more touching than the
pathetic appeal made to the Republican
committee the other day when they were
making up the form OF party test oath.
1t was OF course understood every man
claiming to be Republican had got
to 60 with the committee in the shape
of a ritual or confession, and it was
thought enough to make him swear he
would vote for the national ticket, any
way; but the San Pedro lawyer insisted
upon amending by adding the congress
sional candidate. This could not be
openly discussed, and 40 the amendment
was adopted in tumultuous silence, after
which there seems to have been mo-
ment or two of silent prayer or other
repressed emotion, broken at length by
the sweet. pleading voice of one of Mr..
Wards deputy clerks, who begged that
the oath might be broadened to include
the county offices.
We are panied to learn that this ap-
parently proper and decidedly logical
appeal was not received with the de-
corum its justice called for. Moth
ing finer than Mr.. Marshalls
query has attracted the stten-
tion of the people since Mr..
Flanagan, of Flanigan's mills, de-
manded to be told what the Republican
party existed for. But Mr.. Marshall,
who seems to be one sent'everywhere as
Mr.. Wards especial representative, was
soon made to understand that the party
was already suffering from an overladen
stomach; and amid the scraping of feet,
the relaxing of facial muscles and the
emitting of gutteral and nasal noises,
he went out into the open air, and, hat
in hand. slowly ascended the granite
steps that lead back to his Office, where
he sat himself down to record the latest
Judgment. There wers many fatalities
happened that day. The air was heavy
laden with disaster, but the noblest
thing that perished there was that
young faithful heart.
