Of view, but because they had number
Of young Irish girls employed there who
were entrusted to them by their parents.
They could say it was truly q success,
about e18,O00 worth of Irish good were
sold there. They were able to pay back
all those gentlemen who advanced money
for the construction OF the village, and it
was proud moment when they were
able to send those checks. Moreover. at
the end of the Worlds Fair they had q
considerable amount of goods remaining
over, enough to warrant them in starting
depot in Chicago for the disposal Of
those goods. and establishing perma-
nent store there. So they had over and
above paying back their guarantors, pay
ing ali their expenses, and giving the
Worlds Fair authorities half the ''gate
money!" which they did, substantial
profit. Their expenses were very heavy,
and they were obliged to enlarge the
village, and to engage number of Irish
assistants in Chicago"
We have no reason to doubt this state
ment, and. consequently, we think Lady
Aberdeen is to be congratulated on be-
ing able to declare that the enterprise
has resulted in a profit. 1t was risky
business, and the fact that it has not re-
suited IN failure is the best possible
guarantee of what the association under
the auspices of which it was carried on
may do in the future for the encour age
ment of Irish industries. For this rea-
son we trust that the utility of this asso-
citation will go on Increasing, and that
the sphere of it's influence may widen day
by day. Properly supported and main

support it cannot possibly succeed-it

make them adopts in the various indus
trial arts and crafts, but it will engender
in them habits of thrift and economy
that could not be theirs while their Ia

could not procure a market for the yari-

able to produce. As We said, worked on
the proper lines this industrial move
ment, skilfully steered and eafeguarded

means, slowly but surely, Of making the
working classes rely on their own efforts

them for the period when native gov

Some one has endeavored to make it
appear that John Gocdnowl Is out of poll

politics so early in life. Any such an

several grains of salt.

The United States Government ex-
ponds every year for the maintenance of
the diplomatic and consular service about
$2,000,OO0. There are five countries of
first rank in the estimate of the State
Department, but these are not the five
great powers Of Europe. Four of them
only SO rank, England, France, Germany
and Russia. American ministers in the
East-or Ambassadors, as they are more
properly called in London, Paris, Berlin,
and Rome receive $17,600 a year. The
Minister to Mexico ranks with them,
though not an Ambassador, getting the
same salary. The second group Of coun-
tries deemed OF Importance by the State,
Department are Italy, Austria, Brazil.
China, Spain, and Japan. The American
Ministers in these get $1,000 year.
Next come Argentina, Chill, Columbia,
Costa RIGA, Guatemala, Honduras, Mica.

Deputy State OmcerS.

The Reno Journal commenting on
the item published in the INDEPEN-
DENT few days ago, relative to the
ne Wy elected State officers appoint
ing deputies to do the work they we're
elected to do, says that the failure of
the officers to appoint deputies would
be violation of the law and adds that
Surely the INDEPENDENT would not
have the State officers elect violate
law and custom by neglecting to ap-
point deputies"
The INDEPENDENT would not have
any of the State officers violate the
statutes, but it insists that 1.-THE COM
ing Legislature should repeal the law
authorizing the appointment ofdepu-
ties by the State officers. In the
present condition of the State there is
about as much use for deputies in the
different State Offices as there is for
q fifth wheel to wagon. The only
ones benefited by the present law
are the deputies and State officers.
The taxpayers get nothing in return
for the salaries paid. Repeal the law
and make the State officers perform
their duties.

Threw Out Ballots.

The official returns of Humboldt
as convassed by the Commissioners
gave Frank Francis for member of
the Assembly a majority Of four over
A. r. Hardin. Hardin asked for a
recount and the Commissioners by
throwing out all the ballots that had
the candidates for township officers
written on them declared Hardin
elected by majority Of IL. The
Silver State says that Francis will
probably contest Hardin,s election in
the courts or before the legislature.

They Beg the Question.

The Atlanta Constitution says:
Begging the question is favorite
form OF argument with controversial
lists who have no case. The gold
standard advocates nearly all resort
to it. They are fond of denouncing
the dishonest dollar" That begs
the question, which is: Which dollar
is dishonest--the one that is worth
the same DOW as it was ten years ago,
or the one that will buy fifty cents
worth more Of everything that pro
ducers have to sell than it would ten
years ago? Then they declare that
we must redeem all our silver money
and paper money in gold on demand
because gold is the only money the
world recognizes, and if we do net
recognize it as the only money we
shall be outlawed as repudiationists
by other nations. That, too, begs the
question, which is: Are we bound,
either by our moral obligations or our
material interests. to make the single
gold standard unanimous interna-
tional thing, and should we not be
justified in honor and greatly benefit.
ted as a matter of business in reject
ing Great Britian's lead, declaring
our monetary independence, reassert
ing our historic currency of gold and
silver, freely coined on Il ratio fixed
by our own Congress-? These are
great, broad, vital questions. The
gold standard champions never argue
them. They beg them all, and adverse
ly to bimetallism, and that all persons
who refuse to accept that are either
ignorant or dishonest.
