TIVE GOVERNOR IS LOYAL 10 MAC.
VEA0H.

There is o decided and very palpa.
bic desire on the part Of certain in.
terested parties to produce the i'm.
preston that Gov. ALLEGED and Frank.
lin MacVeagh are at daggers' points,
and that the campaign is to be marked
on the Democratic side by disagree
meuts, rivalries, jealousies and heart.
burnings between the leaders.
That the wish Is father to the
thought there can be no doubt, te.
cause the statement Is absol utely
without foundation, in fact. Every
little incident that can be perverted
or twisted into suiting or giving color
to the theory that there Is dissension
10 the Democratic camp Is being so
twisted and perverted, and The EAGLE
Is sorry to note that this persistent
effort to misrepresent the facts and
create dissension where not any OK.

Chicago, at which Mr.. MacVeagh
proposes to open his campaign. The
Governor, finding himself unable to
attend, owing TO other pressing du.
ties OF an official character, wrote q

Offering his excuses and expressing
his regrets. This incident has been
tortured into o snub to the Mayor

THE IRISH PiCNiC.

We desire to congratulate our Irish
fellow!citizens upon the unprecedcnt.
cd success which this year attended
their annual celebration ut Ogden's
Grove OF the great battle Of Reuburb.
where the forces Of the hated Sasscn.
ach went down In the dust before
the might and valor OF Owen Roe
ONeill and his gallant gallowglasses.
1t Is now many years since this brill.
liant victory was won by Irish arms
On Irish soil, but the memory Of II
fingers yet like o sun.lit rift in a
cloudcd sky. For once, on a fair field
with no favor, the Irish met on some.
thing like even terms their hated foo
and vanquished him.
The hatred Of centuries Of oppres-
sion had been redoubled ~ the devil.
ish cruelties and numbering rapacity
Of the marauding Scotch garrison of
the north under General Monroe.
Driven to desperation, the Irish rose
under Phelim O'Neill, and in one
night put to death several hundred
Of the Aendish soldiery who had
been perpetrating untold barbarlties
upon them. Several minor engage.
ments followed, until Owen Roe
O'Neill, hearing Of the gallant light
for life being made by his kinsmen,
returned from Spain to lead the army
OF his country.
Great was the Joy on Owens re.
turning, and the bard thus sings
Of It:
Owen Roe, our own O'Neiil,
10 tresds once more our land:
The sword In his hand 10 Of Spanish steel.
But the hand 10 IN Irish hand.
Centuries have rolled by since those
bright days for Ireland, aud though
gloom and sorrow have followed In
their wake, tho same spirit that
lived then still lives on, kept alive
and nurtured from year to year and
from decade to decade, wherever the
scattered children of the, Gael can meet
In numbers sufficient to fttingly OBJ
serve the anniversary OF one OF the
most glorious victories OF Irish valor
on Irish soil.

1t was believed by many when the.

It was believed by many when the
"Universal Gas" ordinance was passed
by the b00dlers that 1t was put
through for the benefit OF the Mutual
Company OF Hyde Park. This was
denied ut the time with great solem.
nifty by some Of the prominent citi.
zens" connected with that corpora
tion. But they were mistaken, to-
state 1t mildly. 1t Is admitted now
that Ryan's Doodle ordinance has
"passed into the control OF friends of
the Mutual Company" That is to
say, the men who own one franchise
are the same as those who own the
other. Now, there are two ways In
which the Mutual got hold of this
"Universal Gas" franchise with its
perpetual and sweeping priv.
leges. Either 1t went directly to
the Aldermen and got them to pass
a measure which suited 1t, or, after
the Aldermen Of their own notion
had got up and put through this ordi-
nance and offered 1t for sale, the Mu.
tual bought 1t, paying the Aldermen
their price therefor Neither OF
these methods OF getting franchises
Is commended by moralists or persons
who are In favor OF municipal reform.
1t may DO assumed, therefore, that
all those stockholders OF the Mutual
who pride themselves on their civic
virtues, and who are In favor of hon.
esty In the Common Council, will
withdraw from corporation which

nance. OF course no good citizen

HtiNOiS MiLiTIA.

The citizen so!diery OF Illinois has
abundantly demonstrated its ability
and usefulness during the past four
months. The worst effects OF the
two great industrial upheavals Of the
year-the coal strike and the railroad
strike-were felt In this State. Il
WAS possible for the civil authorities
successfully to cope with the lawless.
ness growing out Of the disturbed
conditions on both occasions only by
the aid Of the State militia.
When the militiamen wcro ordered
into the field they responded with an
alacrlty and cheerfulness that aston.
ished even those persons who expect.
cd the most efficient service from the
State troops. During the coal strike
they were dispatched to half a dozen
different localities where the lives
and property OF citizens were threat.
ened. Their movement was at all
times rapid and their conduct ex.
emplary. On more than one occasion
their presence averted the possibility
OF violence and bloodshed.
During the railroad strike the en-.
tire active force Of the State guards
was lnassed In Chicago. Many OF the
men abandoned their civil stations at
great personal sacrifice and endured
the discomforts Of camp life under a
blazing July sun without a murmur,
as became well.trained soldiers.
Though constantly beset with din.
culties OF the most trying character
through a period Of more than three
weeks, the behavior OF officers and
men, with surprisingly few excep-
tions, was highly c0mmendable.
While all the troops actually en-.
listed we're called INTO service the
military power OF the State was by no
means exhausted. Indeed, the drafts
made upon the great body OF men
available for military duty were
hardly discernible. Thousands Of re-
serves stood ready at a moments no.
tice TO be mustered into active ser
vice. The Governor and the Ad
jutant General had, with JudiciOu'
foresight, made ample provision FOL

q year ago. The first part deals with
the Coxey movement; the second Is
entitled "Just Before the War;" and
tells the story of>Pullman and the
model town, with portraits OF "the
loyal labor leaders," the third Is de.
voted to what the author calls the
"War," containing references to the
strike and a prophecy OF a social rev.

caption "Defeat," and runs along for
sixty pages about the outcome OF the
conflict and the ultimate settlement
OF the controversy.
Mayor Hopkins gets several pages
and many compliments. Mr. Stead
says: Personally Mr.. Hopkins I'm.

demon for work, and his constitution,
which has not been impaired by any
excess either in drink or tobacco, or
other forms of dissipation, will stand

CAMPAIGN LIARS.

Those of our republican friends
who have not hesitated to condemn
the Wilson hill as the elimination
of class Legislation, trickery and
jobhery, had better rest upon their
oars for the present or until they be-
come more familiar with the work
ings of the new law, as it may save
them puch aggravatlon of spirit in
the future. The wool schedule Of
the Wilson bill is the one most
universally condemned by our re-
publican brethren as it struck a
direct blow at all protective traitors
by placing the raw material on the
free list ard reduced the tariff on
manufactured goods about so per
cent. What is the result? The price
of wool has steadily advanced from
the day of the enactment of the
Wilson bill, and the price of all
manufactured goods, into which
wool enters has steadily declined.
An instance of this is brought
right to our doors. Early last sum
mer Mr. J. B. Boyd, general mer-
chant Of this city, placed his order
with the wholesalers for his fall
stock of wool goods, at the then
gold basis prices. Since that time
the w ilson bill has become law and
prices have declined and Mr.. Boyd
being aware of these facts counter
manded bis order for the entire fall
stock and last week sent his buyer
to Chicago and New York markets
to repurchase those goods and will
save clear 10 per cent in the tran
saction. Verify the campaign liar
will soon have to let his job.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1894-09-27
PARTY SPIRIT.

This years cam paign- brings the
voters back to choice between the
two conflicting and enduring ideas
of free government and class govern
ment.
The lines is drawn distinctly be-
tween the party which believes in
the people and the party which dis.
trusts the people. In 1889 an ad-
ministration handed to its successor
q government embarrassed with one
dif6culty-too much surplus money
in the treasury. In 1893 an ad-
ninistration handed to its successor
agovernment d embarrassed with a
deficiency 50 great and demand
liabilities so heavy that distrust of
its currency had produced a panic
which affected al business. In two
years after Harrison went to Wash
ington the country knew that the
National Treasury WAS empty
though the necessary expenses of
the government had not increased.
In 18 months after Cleveland took
the oath of office trade had begun
to revive fast, the tariff was reform
ed in the right direction, if not
quite far enough, bullion purchases
were stopped, Federal expenses were
cut down, department barnacles
were scraped off and fears of forcib'e
interference with home rule in elec-
tions was set at rest.
Parties are not made to agree
and fondle each other. When they
do, look out for plundering on the
sly. Unless they are kept fighting
men in public life find it very tempt
ing and very convenient to qnietlv
agree on robbing the distant public.
Democratic principles are worth
fighting for. Republican principles
deserve to be fought out of existence.
The people must eternally fight for
their liberties or combines of power
will steal every liberty in the CON
stitution. The democratic party
has grown, and with it have grown
democratic principles, when party
spirit ran high. Nothing can beat
the democratic party when its
spirits is aroused. And the republi-
can party behaves itself better
when it has to confront the battle
spirit'of the democracy.
What the country needs is a re-
vival of party. spirit.
