Hon. nj. o. Hall, of Duluth, arrived
In st. Paul from Europe yesterday, on
his way home. and stopped few hours
at the Merchants. lie was seven weeks
in the old country, spending most of his
time in England. Scotland, Ireland, the
Scandinavian countries and Germany.
He said:
while have a great personal adj
miration for Gladstone, | must say that
l found the feeling with reference to
the home rule bill, even in Ireland, very
different from what | expected. l
talked with number of the leading
manufacturers of Ireland, who are all
full-blpoded Irishmen. and was told by
one and all of them that the passage of
the bill would be very disastrous
thing for the Emerald isle. They
said that if the bill became law
they would simply remove their in
|edustries to England. There has sprung
estantS and Catholics within the past
year. The Protestants assert that the
Catholics are largely in the majority in
Ireland, and that If the country has
home rule the politics will be wholly i'll
the hands OF the Catholics, and will be
run to suit the interests of the church.
OF course, i do not know anything OF
the merits OF the position, and only give
you the talk l heard for what it is worth.
AT the same time [ became convinced
that IT good many Ar orleans and
irish-AmericanS should visit that c0un-
try they would find occasion to alter
their opinions somewhat.

would have nearly as serious an effect
Ill France and the other silver countries
or Europe as in our sllYer-producing
states. Last Saturday in New York

w. II. Ingham, prominent banker
OF Algola, To-, is a guest OF the Mer-
chants. In speaking of his state yes
terday he said that the cranks had cost
the state many millions of dollars dur
ing their ascendency in the legislature
OF the past several years. He thinks
they have run their race and that the
legislature will again come Into the
hands OF intelligent business men. The
crankS. he says, have kept up q con-

opened at Saltwater with about 400, 000,-
900 feet Of logs i'll sight. OF this amount
