The English fscientic thinkers, as they
delight to be called, are making dire
prophecies Of the early failure OF repub-
lioan institutions here, in view Of the
wide-s spread labor troubles, the mobs and
riots lately SO prevalent, the Coxeyite
armies OF non-industrials couyerglng on
Washington, and various other il huences
tending to disturb the public peace, not
including the A. P. A., the Patriotic
Sons Of America" and similar traitorous
organizations. But tho lag-abiding
peaceable citizens of the country, who
form the vast majority of it's inhabitants,
take no stock in such forebodings and
will never, despair of the Repub ic. They
are as ready to spring to arms in it's de-
fence as their fathers were in all the
years since Seventy six "

The Hon. Patrick Walsh, the new Sen
ator from Georgia, is winning golden
opinions in the position to which he has
been promoted from the editorial chair
The New York Journal says of him: "ae
will write his name in conspicuous char.
acters upon his country's history, if he
continues in the Senate the brilliant
career that has made him the most pop
ular man in the Empire State Of the
South" Ifyou will notice, among the
four hundred and odd members of the
Senate aud House, those Of Irish blood
are always at the front Their names ara
familiar as household words to the coan-
try at large. Walsh, Murphy, Cochran,
Tracy, Weadock, Clancy, Dunn, Mccain,
Reilly, Tarsney, Dunphy, and numerous
|.others, not forgetting that genial Irish
man with the German voice, Tim Camp
bell.
For ready repartee Ireland's sons are
proverbial the world over, and one OF the
neatest specimens comes to us from that
habitat of illustrious wits, Dublin. An
honest workingman of that city had
taken a drop too much, and while elo-
|auently vituperating neighbor at whom
he had taken offense, was arrested and
brought before a MAJ istrate named Por-
ter. In sentencing him to short i'm.
|prisonment, for it was not his first ap-
pearanee there, Judge Porter, pompoua
and somewhat self-important individual,
improved the occasion by little good
advice, concluding thus: ''And now,
Brady, let me advise you, instead of ours,
ing your ne,ghbors, to curse Intoxicating
liquors hereafter, the cause of all your
trouble" "Indade, / will, your worship,
answered the prisoner with a curious
twinkle In his eye," I'll curse whiskey
and Porter as long as live" IA
