not to be converted. They should direct

Simmons delivered lecture upon Jesus
Miracles in which he endeayored to

DAVITT'S r1ESSAGE.

Michael Davitt will soon pass through
this country on his way home to Ireland
from Australia. He has message to de-
liver to Irishmen wherever ne may lind
them--and where will he not find them ?
and that message is the closing words
of Arch bishop Carr, of Melbourne, in
speech he delivered at one of Davitt's
meetings in Australia. He asked Davitt
"a take the words with him to Ireland
hut Dayitt will no doubt distribute them
on the way and they will have lost
nothing upon reaching the old land. The
words are these:
tIn conclusion we would ask you to
| bring back one message to Ireland from
the Australian exiles. 1t is message
of peace, Of union, and OF hope. Tell
orr brethren at home that we feel keen
" that for soma time the words of the
poet are applicable:
GAS you wax hot in faction,
In battle you wax cold;
Wherefore men fight not as they fought
In the brave days of Old
Let the ranks be reformed; let none be
for a party, but all for the state, and the
morning of new day will break for Ire
land"
The words of caution and encourage
ment are not new but they are welcome
because they are appropriate. The war
ring factions at home should feel the
thrust justly given and particularly as
it comes from the southern portion OF
the world to the beloved land in the
north. 1t should teach them how their
actions are viewed by men whose horizon
is broader than that Of those who are
wasting their energies in puny warfare
for the purpose of gaining personal dis
tinction. In this connection there is
hope to be gained from the Alliance
movement as well as from the great con-
vention before long to be held in Dublin.

On Sunday last Protestant Episcopal
church was opened in New York when
mass was said at O'Clock in the morn
ing followed by two others and high
mass at II o'clock, which latter, how
ever. lasted until nearly o'clock in the
afternoon. The dissenting brethren
from the Catholic church do not like to
shock themselves by taking one great
leap into the fold from which they
strayed, but step by step they are reach

Jim Corbett, gentleman Jim," says
of Fitzsimmons This is another evil
dence of the elevating qualities Of the
prize ring. When Corbett started in
with the thugs and bruisers he had some
of the qualities of gentleman, but the
descent to hell is easy In time he may
be found hanging around bar rooms
waiting for some one to ask him to
drink. The manly art, from its asso-
Citations, is about the most unmanly

A FREE SILVER CANDIDATE.

One would imagine from reading the
gold bug papers that the silver question
was dead, decently buried and that requi-
ems are now being sung over its grave.
We are told that 1t could not live because
it came into the world lacking the vigor
of healthy infant, and that it was only
by the utmost care that it survived as
long as it cid.
In face of all these assertions SO bold
ly spoken the goldites may have some
cause for surprise when they see this sill
yer infant next year grown to almost full
proportions and demanding its rightful
place in the affairs of the world, and
demanding it, too, in such an earnest tone
that the people will hearken to it.
This infant had at one time been a
full-grown man, but some twenty TWO
years ago it was by some occult process,
known only to the professors of political
legerdemain, reduced to infancy. 1t puz-
lied the nation to learn how this marvel
GUS change was wrought, and 1t was not
uNIl1 StUOuI LWCAly yNSAu ga CS@ IA VA SAA'S"
the process was found to be a fraud and
that the world had BEEN deprived of a
healthy, useful being in mysterious
way to satisfy the unnatural hunger OF a
few. Upon this discovery being made
righteous wall was heard on every side,
and the cry went up that the being thus
ruthlessly robbed of its manhood by I'M
holy methods must be restored to it's for
mer position. q
Putting aside figures of speech, such
was and is the condition of silver.
w. H. De Young, stalwart Republic
can, and editor of the San Francisco
Chronicle, sums up the prospects OF Sill
yer in very Intelligent way. His idea is
that the Democrats may nominate a free
silver man. In that event they would be
backed by the solid South and thus have
1856 electoral votes and could depend upon
the support of California, Colorado, Idaho,
Montana, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Oregon, Washing
ton, Wisconsin, Wyoming and Utah. In
addition to these it is not improbable that
Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois and Indiana
could be induced to join the others.
The gentleman further thinks that II
the Democrats should adopt a free silver
plank and the Republicans should go to
the country on a non-committal or strad-
ding platform that the former would be
certain of the South and have in addition
86 votes of fifteen other states.
Upon such platform as this in relation
to silver and with, say, Senator Morgan,
of Alabama, as the presidential candidate,
the Democrats next year would open the
eyes of their opponents as to the dream
the latter have been indulging In con-
corning a wallzover. 1t would then be
found that the gold standard worshipers
are not as numerous in this country as
they assert they are, although far too
numerous and that if the people are per
mitted to express their opinions by their
ballots free silver will once again take
the place from which it was ousted by
remorseless clique whose only aim In life
is to satisfy personal greed.
