Fifth Ward Pow wow,


The machine Democracy of the city
held meeting last night In the Fifth
ward at Bohn's Hall. Forty-one voters
were present, and about one-third OF
this number were heele-s and shouters
from other wards. The meeting WAS
addressed by Mayor 8. e. Jones, R.
Randolph Hicks and others. The mayor
was particularly abusive toward the
opposition and the course pursued by
THE TINES In reference to the po-
sition OF Mr.. Watts on the Gas and
Water bill question, he said: II don't
pretend to say that Mr.. Watts con-
duct in relation to the Gas and Water
bill was proper. I think it demands
an explanation" He then went on to
give what he called an explanation.
Mr.. Jones made good temperance
speech, perhaps the best one he ever
made in his life. He said, in sub
stance, that he was against the use of
whiskey. That it WAS wrong to drink
it, snd that he didn't believe that any
man had a right to do it. However,
the people of Craig wanted Major Nc
CARNEY elected to the Legislature, and
1t was the duty of the dry Democrats
Of Roanoke city to vote for him, and
they intend to support him. Mr.. Jones
is quite an entertaining talker, and
related several amusing stories to keep
up the spirits Of the small crowd present.

Neither are they expected by astrono-
1mers to be ii exactly the same positions
las they were then, for the attraction Of
the other planets and of the. sun has
caused variations IN their respective
cycles during these eighteen centuries.
It is for this reason that the recurrence
OF similar condition Of the skies pos
sesses no scientific interest to the astron-
omer. But to the millions Of Christian
people all over the world it 10 an import
ant coincidence that they should sec,
during Holy Week OF the year, the
heavenly bodies almost as they were
when Christ looked upon them nightly
ia the rapid succession Of events which
marked the fortnight preceding His craci-
(fixiop.
That the last year which Christ spent
upon the earth was really the year %,
A. D., is question which is not settled.
It and each OF the four years succeeding
lit have been named by Biblical scholars
who have compared the chronology OF
events mentioned in the New Testament
with the dates as given in Josephus and
the best Roman historians. Christ is
supposed to have been thirty three years
old when His life upon earth was ended.
This would naturally seem to make His
crucifxlon occur in the thirty third year
Of what is called the Christian era. But
the Christian era was first invented 5OO
years after His death by learned monk
called ;Dionysius Exigus, and it is now
admitted that it's inventor made an error
in his calculation Of at least four years,
and that the birth Of Christ really occur
red in the year which is now called B.
g. This would make % A. D., the most
probable date for HE crucifxion. But
the Encyclopedias Britannica and a
NUMBER Of German scholars favor 80 A.
D., and this would make Eastertide of
next year, and not this year, the date at
which the similar position of the planets
can be recalled.

Of the various articles was good. Every
thing under the sun was treated extern

and the bond question. You could find
any kind Of an opinion on any subject.
One thing, however, was noticeable. The
paper had ideas and expressed them,
something that we cannot say for the
great majority Of newspapers nowadays.
Wisconsin is the only state in the
Union where the great railroads own
everything and pursue unmolasted the
rampant tenor Of their way. More power
to the railroads! They ought to rule
Wisconsin. There is one consolation,
however. Their empire in this state is
nothing to be proud Of. Wisconsin was
an easy conquest. The people here have

happiness and prosperity that few years
ago would have certainly brought about
either the doubling OF HE rent or his
eviction to the roadside. Broken roofs
are nowhere to be seen, nor implanted
doors and windows, nor unwhitewashed
walls. The filthy pool that had to 10
passed through or around, has been
superseded BY gravel walk; and flowers
bloom where dunghills reeked before.
Not q square yard yard is now allowed
to 20 to waste, Of what the poor peas
ants best interests compelled him to
leave uncared and unkept before. Flow
ering creepers blossom around the
windows, and shrubs and fower-beds
have their own space assigned them
with easy reach Of every farmhouse. It
is true the houses have become no larger,
and the thatch almost universally covers
them instead of tiles or states. Still they
are certainly nothing the loser by this,
except in the eyes of the fastidious and
the unappreciative of picturesquenees.
The frontage, too, Of the homes has had
much needed addition made to it. The
agricultural implements have been i'm
proved and housed and the very cattle,
sheep, and horses show symptoms Of
better care:
i It u.s. however, in the appearance Of
the people themselves, that the improve
ment is most perceptible. No one now
can be seen barefooted or in ragged
clothing, as they merrily cross the fields
or. trip along the roads to church on
Sunday. While many Of the elder people
still cling to the old time manner Of
dressing, the young unmarried folk of
both sexes dress as neatly, if not az fash
ionably, as their brothers and sisters of
city bringing up.
Taking the country all in all, evidences
everywhere abound Of contentment Al d
even prosperity that cannot fail to de-
light its friends and sympathizsre.
When such happy effects come of such
tritling causes, what hope may not be
cherished of better and brighter future?
When 80 substantial measure Of justice
and so powerful q factor of prosperity as
self government has been obtained, as it
most certainly will, then will also dis
appear the multitudinous excessively
paid officials ard an extravaganza vampire
army of policemen. The intolerable in
cubus of an INDECENT spendthrift gentry,
whom the law Ct entail alone perpetu-
ates, will also disappear and happy
day of prosperity will dawn for unhappy
Ireland that will almost compensate for
her many centuries Of slavish thraldom,
in which nothing was left undone to i'm
poverish, degrade and diegraoe her,
Bright and hopeful, therefore, seems the
future, and great should be the efforts
of Irishmen at home and abroad to have
it speedily and happily realized.

THE ''AMENDE HONORABLE"


Alexander Scarlett as an "A. F. "A.
TO the Editor OF The Irish Standard.
Permit me as matter Of justice to
make some reparation to Mr.. Alexander
Scarlett for any injury may have done
him by reporting to you and others that
I had evidence in my possession which
satisfied me that he was an Orangeman
in high standing and an active member
Of the A. P. A.
Within the past few days I have be-
come thoroughly convinced of my mis-
take, and hasten to remove any stigma
which may attach to his honorable name
because Of the defamatory report I had
circulated against him. In the fall OF
last year certain documents came into
my hands in which the name OF Friend
Scarlet" figured az an A. P. A., and hav
ing never heard of any other Scarlett
than Alexander, Of this city, I jumped to
the conclusion that be was the man. /
was predisposed to believe that he was
the real parsonage from the fact that q
gentleman of veraclty had previously
informed me that he was the recipient OF
testimonial from Orangemen in ireland
on the occasion OF his visit to that coun-
try in 1891. Putting this and that to-
gether deemed it my duty to put my
countrymen here on their guard against
him. / have now ascertained beyond q
doubt that there is no truth in the story
that he is or ever was an Orangeman,
but on the contrary that he has always
been staunch Irish Nationalist OF lib
eral principles who did excellent service
to the cause of Home Rule in Ulster and
fought the Orange Tories successfully in
the "Tyrone INDEPENDENT of which he
was editor and proprietor in Land
League days. When he revisited his ma
tive town after an absence Of several
years in Canada his townsmen, headed
by the venerable parish priest, presented
him with an address and solid gold
watch, and not an Orangeman turned out
to do him honor. The irish Of Montreal
rendered him reception when he was
leaving that city for Minneapolis, pre-.
sented him with purse and gave his
estimable wife solid silver tea service.
regret exceedingly that I was igno-
rant Of these facts until few days ago,
that was misinformed as to his ante
cedents, and had taken him for Duluth
man who fortunately bears his name,
but who is not related to him IN any
way. ,5..s i.
Il affords me much pleasure to make
this voluntary aoknow edgment, and i
anything / have said derogatory to Mr..
Scarlett's character either g an Irish
man or GO an American citizen has in
jured him Is tths estimatiion q the Irish
