having hard times owing to continued
bad weather and lack of attendance.
A number of them have been attach
ed, and some of the special attractions

the Summer. If the management OF
the Fair persists in maintaining the
fifty cents admission fee, some of the
best attractions will undoubtedly be
withdrawn.
American News.
The people of the Pacific Coast are
very much worried over the fact that
the Administration has formulated q
new treaty with China which it re-
fuses to submit to public criticism
until it has gone to the Senate for
confirmation. 1t is the usual Cleve-
land measure-calculated to injure the
interests of the United States. In
other words, it is said to abrogate all
existing laws for exclusion and pro-
lection against the Chinese. When
this measure reaches the Senate, Mr..
Cleveland will find that he has stirred
up large and healthy hornets nest.
Miss Hattie Blaine, third daughter
of the late James G. Blaine, is to wed

of money.
The usual western cyclone has been
at work in Texas, and the result is the

Kansas, Nebraska and the Northern
tier of States, terrible blizzard has
destroyed many lives and an immense
number of live stock. Traffic on the
Union Pacific and other western roads
has been suspended for several days,
and many trains have been abandoned

CnInradn ia having moro than ifC
share of lawlessness. A great strike
occurred at Cripple Creek mines which
resulted in lawlessness, and the Cover
nor found it necessary to send part
of the National Guard to the scene of
the disturbance At the present time
the strikers are undecided whether to
fight or surrender. Governor Waite,

bic is settled.
The better element of the Demo- |
cratic party in New York is out for |
the scalps of the Tammany bosses.
Bourke Cochran, the famous Tam |
many orator, it is said, will leave |
and take hand in the |

The famous Archbishop Ireland has
preached mastery sermon, in which
Catholic Church to put foreign nation
llism in the back ground and give place
n church and state to Americanism.
IN the course of his remarks he said
st. Patrick teaches this lesson. He
himself, not a native of Ireland, be-
anne a more thorough Irishman than
most Irishmen. If st. Patrick were
j bishop in America today he would
,e the stanchest of American patriots
md the most loyal of American citi-
ems. NatiOnalism is and must be
upreme in our civil and social mat
ers; that is, American natiOnalism.
IN this condition has America ad-
nitted foreigners to citizenship. No
,olitical segregation of citizens on
oreign lines can be allowed. 1t is

ire. The bill is largely amended from
he House schedules, and it is believed
" those who are conversant that
here will not only be a dangerous
opposition to it in the Senate, but that

liabilities that the bill will not reach

Democrats confess that if this should

ariff. This idea is based on the be-
