SECOND NIGHT OF THE FAIR.
a Good Attendance and Plenty OF
Money Spent

a Good Attendance and Plenty OF
Money Spent.
Last nights attendance at the fair was
very good and considerable money was
gathered into the treasury by the young
lady workers, and the ''center table
groups" which have all sorts of attractive
devices in operation to fascinate visitors
into turning loose their small change.
The paddle table, in charge Of Mrs. Cor
ham, is little mint. The originality of
the scheme is the cause of its popularity,
a wheel with $50 numbers on it stands on a
table and ten paddles bearing the same
numbers are disposed of. Then an article
Is put up with number upon
1t, the wheel is spun and
the person whose paddle bears
a corresponding number to the one which
the needle wheel points to is presented with
the article.
The express office, in charge Of Misses
Maggie and Annie Conner, two pretty
agents, is also doing a lively business on &C
count of uniqueness. Messengers are sent
out around the hall with notices to visitors
that their presence is desired at the express
office, and invariably they find on respond

dressed 20 them. twenty-five or so cents is
the fee and no one refuses to paw it.
The soda stand, under direction Of Miss
McGovern Of Columbus, seems to he the
most attractive booth at the fair Nearly
every young man who visits the hall finds
himself suddenly seized with thirst when
he nears Miss McGovern's neat little stand,
and the fascinating little directress has had

liquid refreshment
Mrs. jerome Sullivan's cigar stand is
another place which is steadily adding to
the fairs receipts. Her assistants. Misses
Hotf1lng OF Charleston and Miss Muller have
an attractive manner of disposing OF fine
Havanas and cigarettes.
The Columbian table has received many
additional donations Mrs. Lawrence Kelly
has given a complete bahy's outfit and
Joseph j. Higgins has donated a set OF
handsome books on French and American
art, containing steel engravings of all the
handsome paintings in the salon OF Paris

Ireland's struggle for home Rule.

Ireland's Struggle for Home Rule.
The bitterness with which Mr.. Glad.
stones home rule bill for Ireland is resisted
by the uuionists, not only in Ireland, but IN
England aud Scotland, grows il intensity.
This bitterness does not crop out 80 clearly
in the debate on the bill in the House Of
Commons as it does in the speeches that are

Ireland. The demonstrations which they
are making against it indicates a
purpose to resort TO civil war 10 de-

held by the irish unionists are immense ones
and the speeches that have been delivered
are Of the most alarming character. The
unionists have reason to think that if they
should resort to force to prevent the setting
up of a separate government for ireland at

determined to settle the Irish question, il
the settlement of it is possible, and
he believes that the only way it can
be settled is the one he has proposed. He
is satisfied that the fears of the Irish union
lists that they will not be dealt with fairly
by Dublin parliament, and that they will
suffer financial ruin, have no foundation
whatever. He will not be turned aside
from the policy he has adopted by arRu-
ments or threats. He believes that as the
great majority Of Irishmen want to try
home rule they ought to have a chance to
do so. The union Of Ireland with England
has not satisfied Ireland, and Ireland is not
likely to have peace as long as the present
union continues. For years she has been in a
state of continual unrest. Her troubles have
been of a kind TO prevent her material
progress and drive her people to other lands

favors greater freedom for Ireland. He sees
the obstacles in the path he has chosen, but
he expected to encounter them when he en-
tered upon that path. He will not, there
fore, turn back.
If his party stands by him he will give
Ireland home rule and it will be the crown
ing act of his remarkable career.

Insincere NewspaDers.

There are few newspapers in the coun-
try that try to create the impression that
they are edited from higher moral plane
than their contemporaries. They are con-
stantly advocating reforms of one kind and
another and are never tired of criticising
public officials who do not adopt their sug-
gestions It is "a fact worthy of notice that
these papers that make such pretensions in
behalf of justice, truth and morality pay
very little regard to facts. They assume
that a certain condition of affairs exists
and condemn those whom they hold respon-
sble for it.
These remarks are intended more par
tiCularly for those newspapers that are con-
demning Postmaster General Bissell for the
alleged Wholesale removal of fourth-class
postmasters. A large number Of post
masters OF this class have been appointed
during the last month, and these papers are
charging that the Postmaster General is
ignoring the spirit OF the civil service law
by removing these postmasters without re-
gard to their fitness.
What are the facts9 They are that no
fourth-olass postmasters have been removed
S-ASN ~ ASA eAAoO- wv OAlo Aua bb D66l re-
moved because he was republican. Hun
dreds have been appointed since Mr. Cleve-
land was inaugurated, but the majority
of them were appointed to fill vacancies.
OF those removed considerably more than
25 per cent. had served the full term Of four
years, and the reasons for their removal
were considered excellent. During the
first month of Gen. Harrison's administra~
ton there were over 500 more fourth-cIass
postmasters appointed than were appointed
in the first month of this administration, and
the number of removals by that admins
tration exceeds the number OF appointments
made by this.
President Cleveland and Postmaster Gem
eral BsselI are firm believers in civil service
reform, and neither will violate either the
letter or the spirit of the civil service law
1t is not probable that they will appoint re-
publicans to Office when the services of
capable democrats can be obtained, and it
is not generally expected they will.
Honest criticism is right and proper and
is productive of good, but criticism that is
based upon statements that are not known
TO be true, and which, as n matter of fact
are not true, indicates q purpose to misIead
the public. A newspaper having such d
purpose is public evil.

Judge Speers decision in the case Of the
| brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers
against the Central railroad, in which the
issue Yves whether or not the railroad should
G required to make a contract with the
engineers, has attracted the attention of the
United States Senate and has been made the
subject Of discuss sion in that body. The
discussion was begun by Senator German.
who seemed to think tie courts were using
their power to Cypress labor. Some Of the
other senator's thought that Senator Cor
man had not read carefully either the decis-
ion OF Judge Kicks in the Ann Arbor case
or that Of Judge Speer in the Central rail-
road case. Senator German understood
that the position taken by these judges was
that an engineer could not resign his place
whenever he felt disposed to do so, and
be expressed the opinion that if the law
warranted a decision Of that sort it was un-
Just to and oppressive Of labor.
As a matter Of fact neither Judge Kicks
nor Judge Speer held that an engineer is
not at liberty to sever his connection with
a railroad company whenever he sees fit TO
do so, provided be does not act as one OF
combination. What these judges decided is
that it is unla wful for the engineers to leave
the service OF a railroad for the purpose of
restraining commerce. They declared that
it is against the law for body Of men to
combine to hinder and delay the work OF a
transportation company.
In most of the papers in which a synop-
sis OF Judge Speers decision was published
the impression was conveyed by the head
lines that the engineers of the Central had
won a great victory, because of the fact
that the receiver was required TO make a
contract with the brotherhood Of engineers.
The fact that two of the leading rules Of the
brotherhood are to be ignored in the max
ing Of the contract was overlooked. If the
brotherhood cannot have those rules recog-
nized it is a question whether they will
want a contract. One Of the rules
relates to the boycotting of the traffic
of a road on which there is strike Of
the brotherhood and the other to promotion
by seniority. Judge Speer declared that
the boycott rule is illegal and that in pro-
motions merit ns well as seniority must be
considered. 1t was to the boycott and
seniority rules that Receiver Conner partic-
ularly objected.
1t is true that Judge Speer ordered a con-
tract to be made with the brotherhood, but
it is @ question whether engine ers want or
can make a contract upon the conditions
imposed by him.

The snapshot camera has been put to
novel use at st. Louis. At the recent mu-
nicipal election men were stationed at the
polls with the little cameras, and when a
man suspected OF being repeater" came
up to vote the button would be pressed and
a record of his name and the time of
day made. The photographer would then
protest OF make some remark to impress the
identity of the man, his vote and the time
of day upon the election officers. Then the
man with the camera would follow the
voter, and IL he went to another polling
place and offered to vote would photograph
him again, taking the same precautions to
call the attention of the managers to the
incident. Several hundred pictures Of re.
peaters were taken. They are now being
developed. When that has been finished
suits will be instituted against the guilty
parties. 1t is quite likely that this method
of detecting crookedness at the polls will be
used in other cities than st. Louis in future
elections

From the Chicago Herald (Dem.).
A recent writer on the Shakespeare Bacon
controversy does not merely stop with denying
that Bacon wrote the immortal plays under dis
plte. He turns the tables squarely on the
enemy by claiming that Shakespeare wrote all
tue works Of Bacol and advances the argun ent
that the latter wrote nothing in the twelve
years that he lived after the formers death.
THIS is not conclusive, but it is better circum-
stantial evidence than has ever been brought
forward on the other side.
