turbsd FOR five years. Second. THAT the
police and judiciary shall be in the hands
Of an Irish Parliament. Third.-That
the balance Of the Irish church fund
shall be at the disposal of the Irish Leg
ielature. Fourth.-That the English
Receiver General Of the bill OF 1880 be
dispensed with. Fifth.-That ON the
other hand there shall De only one Gus
toms Department and that the Irish
party shall not have power to levy sep
arate duties. Sixth.-That the only veto
shall be the Royal veto, to be exercised
on the advice, Of the English Ministry.
Seventh That thirty Irish members
shall be retained at Westminster. John
Dillon has contradicted the Chronicle

DURING his brief visit to Ireland in the
capacity of Chief Secretary, John Morley
confirmed the confidence reposed in him
by the Irish people. He has selected for
under secretary Mr.. George Fotterel), q
man who stands high in the estimation
of the Liberal and Irish leaders. He
was the adviser of Sir Robert Hamilton
while under secretary during the critical
period following the Phoenix park assas-
sinations, and gave eminent satisfaction
to the nationalists. AS the Office of under
secretary is a most important one the
Irish nationalists hail with delight the

THE Tory press has circulated report
that Mr.. Gladstone will retire from the
premiership next spring. The Tories
say that he will withdraw from politics
at Easter and then the Liberal party
cannot get leader to give Home Rule
to Ireland. A newspaper representative
telegraphed Gladstone at Hawarden to
ascertain if there was any truth in these
reports, and the answer came from the
"Grand Old Man" that the rumors we're
entirely groundless. ..

wait until the Irish question was settled.
Speaking in Newcastle last week, Mr..
Fowler, the president of the local gov
eminent board in Gladsto, ELS cabinet,
declared that the Irish members con-
trolled matters at Westminster, and he
did not like to give up the time OF par.
lament to Irish questions. The Irish
members, however, we're not to be des-
pissed and they would make themselves
felt, though he did not like it any more
than the meeting he was addressing
liked it. Such talk as this, proceeding
from the lips of an influential member of
the cabinet, goes to prove the wisdom
and foresight of the Irish leaders in re-
quirlng written pledges from the Liberal
party before placing it in power. The
Irish party has the Liberal party ION the
hip" and if the latter does not act
squarely it will be ousted from Office.
Then the Irish people would put no fur
Their faith in British parties and would
turn their attention to something else
than parliamentary agitation for the re-
dress of grievances and the securing of
their just rights. But it is said that
there is general satisfaction among the
Irish people with Gladstone's Home
Rule program as submitted to the lead
ers of the Irish party and referred to in
John Dillon's speech. It is said that
Gladstone will give the Irish parliament
control over the constabulary and the
judiciary. OF this there seems to be no
doubt. With the police and judges un-
der the control of the people, Ireland
will enjoy freedom from much persecu-
ton. Without this control a native par
lament would be nothing less than q
mockery and sham. The next conces-
sion must be the control of the finances,
and then Ireland will have the three
most essential requirements for self
government.

Normanna hall was the scene of a great
convention last Tuesday and a noisy,
boieterous, though good-natured conven-
ton it proved TO be in every respect.
The intense interest taken in the con-
gressional nomination was the cause OF it
all, and out of 419 delegates entitled to
seats, but few were absent. The conven-
ton was called to order at 1130 a. ~,
though it did not reach ballot until 7:30
in the evening. The gentlemen who con-
tested for the position we're James W.
Lawrence, Oliver T. Erickson, William
Fl. Lynn, Benjamin Davenport and Ed
win F. Lehman, and on the second ballot
MIR. Lawrence was nominated by vote
of 220 to 148 for Mr.. Erickson and II for
Mr.. Davenport. James w. Lawrence,
the nominee, is widely known through
out the city and county. He Is compare
lively young man, though an old settler
of Minneapolis, and for many years was
partner in the law business with the late
Eugene M. Wilson, one Of the ablest
lawyers and most upright, honorable
gentlemen our city has ever contained.
The firm of Wilson & Lawrence had been
very successful, and it is right to say that
the latter gentleman still retains very
large practice in his profession and as
practitioner is always diligent and atten~
tive. He is a man Of much ability and
will make an active, aggressive campaign
against his Republican competitor, Loren
Fletcher, who is also an old-timer and
not without many elements Of popularity.

THE IRISH SITUATION.

Though the news from Ireland during
the past week is rather meagre it
is calculated to encourage the friends of
Home Rule in America. In recent
speech delivered in Dublin, John Dillon
declared that the Irish leaders were in
possession of understandings and agree
ments with the Liberal party, which if
carried out would satisfy the aspirations
of the Irish people. It is supposed that
the Irish leaders required written pledges
from Gladstone and got them, and if the
ministry fail to carry them out accord
ing to agreement they will be made pub
lie TO the world. The Irish leaders dis
trusted the Liberal statesmen, being Of
the opinion that the only genuine Home
Rulers in the present cabinet are Glad
stone, Morley and Spencer, and hence
they deemed it necessary to secure
pledges before putting them in office aud
turning the Tories ont. The Irish in
the past we're deceived and betrayed by
British statesmen, and SO the Irish have
taken every precaution to guard them
selves from treachery. They had wildly
in mind the fact that only few short
years ago Mr.. Parne]l was deceived by
the Tory leaders through Lord Carna-
ryon, and that act OF betrayal was SO
fresh in their recollection that they re-
solved not to be deceived again without
having in their possession what Parnell
had not--a written pledge to publish to
the world to show that 40 trust can be
put in British promises to give Ireland
Justice or government Of her own.

vigilance is the price Of liberty" and
they are fully justified in their suspicious

A LAM of WOldrfuI Names,

The Census Bureau has at last issued
a bulletin showing the population of
Alaska, the portion of the United States
in which the enumeration was most de
layed by natural difficulties. Ths
bulletin is more remarkable for iti
nomenclature than for its statistics.
Only 1875 persons Of all races aud
colors were found in the vast extent of
the great northern Territory, aud Of this
total %, PA were Indians, incluling the
E:quimau tribes, and only 1893 were
white, the remainder being halt-breels,
Chinese, etc. In the matter Of pretty,
flowing names, however, Alaska does
not take second place for any part of
this great and glorious country. Fif.
teen timber jawcd natives live at

as many are more or less proud TO call

termination of Alaskan ma mes is ''mute." "

A ;ugar-reiniug company IN Chicago
is making oil out Of corn. It is said to
be soft yellow liquid that resembles
linseod oil in appearance. The process
Of separating the oil from the corn was
discovered by Dr.. ArnO Behr 1t had
beel known for 4 long time tlat maize
containc an oily property, but it re-
NAMED for some one turn the idea to
account. "There is no danger" says
DR.. Behr, ''of corn oil ever taking the
place Of linseed oil. In the first place
it will always be too scarce. the
amount Of oil contained in corn is only
about four per cent. Of its total weight,
and we find that we lose almost half of
it in the process of extraction, so that
we get a very small amount Of oil after
all. The assertion has been made that
corn oil can be put to little use-that it
cannot be employed in making either
soap O. paints. The great value of lin
seed oil for paints is that it dries readily
and it has been asserted that corn oil
will not dry. Now this mistake, and
as a matter of fact corn oil caa be used
in making paint Or varnisb, and also in
soaps. 1t makes a splendid soft soap.
That there arc valuable uses to which
it can be put is shown by the fact that
there is demand for it in foreign mar
kets." As only one company has the
secret of the process and employs it,
after the cora has been converted into
starch or glucose so that nothing shall
be wasted, there is no danger, declares
the New YORK Post, of glut Of cora oil
