It is said that the fight is on between
Senator Hill and ex-Secretary Whitney
as to which shall have control Of the DEM
ocratic organization in New York state.
The Republicans in New York city nave
become unpopular by the enforcement Of
the Sunday law, and the Platt wing Of the
party has not been favorable to Mayor
Strong's administration. These two ele-
ments Of unpopularity, it is believed, will
give the Democrats an opportunity to get
control once more Of New York and even
Brooklyn and with that assured they be-
lieve they could carry the state. Whit
ney has money, shreWdness, and follow
ing of responsibility; Hill has shrewdness,
audacity and q following that knows how
to vote.

When Chauncey M, Depew was at
Lourdes recently and Witnessed the long
procession Of the faithful carrying light
ed torches about the streets and singing
cave Marias" In chorusN he says it was
only by the strongest fl4tellectual effort
that he could restrain hi mself from join
ing in the procession am5 taking part in
the singing. That is a pretty sentiment
in one respect, but is 1t ,,not reasonable
to suppose that if Mr.. Depew had had a
little more Of religious intellectually
that he would not have liastrained him
self from following whereyhis heart and
conscience led?

Several French papers hive taken up
the discussion Of John Dall's imprison-

at is that it Is a strange commentary on
the English assumption that Britain is the
land where the revolutionists Of other
countries may gain asylum, and charac-
terizes 1t as only hypocrisy. One paper
points out the mockery of the claim that
while England insists on keeping John

considerable gold and silver but in clays,

A scOTcHMAN ON IRELAND.

orally considered an intelligent newspaper
and although devoted mainly to Scottish
News and Scottish literature it. occasion
ally addresses itself to other topics. Dis
cussing the new Irish movement it says:
'tBut for the Irish out OF Ireland-here
in the United States-we believe that such
thing BIS an Irish grievance would never
have, been heard Of in the British parlia-
ment or elsewhere; and, farther, that even
here it is chiefly those Irish who were
compelled to leave their country for their
countrys good who raise the trouble.
They do it from feelings of revenge, not
of their country's wrongs, but of fancied
personal grievances. The truth is, Ire
land has no wrongs to complain of. Com
pared with Scotland and England, the
Emerald ISLE is far better off than eth
.er: That we have always maintained and
repeatedly demonstrated. Even the Irish
people here, with comparatively few ex
ceptions, now believe this, and hence the
falling off in the Irish servant girls sub
scriptions to the patriotic fund. As for
the Irish in Britain they have seen
through it long ago. There could not
have been such overwhelming najorities
everywhere at the last elections in Great
Britain against home rule unless the Irish
residents there had voted against it. And
now parliament is scarcely met before it
announced that the Irish party it entirely
and permanently breaking UP in conse-
quence Of disputes among themselves"
Would it be possible to crowd into the
same amount Of space greater number
Of untruths and misrepresentation than
are collected In the above extract ?Could 1t
be thought that the author OF, such libels
lived in free and fair-minded America?
The blacklist Orangeman that ever dis
graced the soil Of Ulster could not have ut
tered baser sentiments in his most ran
corous moods. 1t is not necessary to con-
flute such statements because they carry
their own refutation on their face
But on one point, however, mention
may be- made, and that is in regard to
Irishmen leaving their native land. Per-
haps many OF them did leave it for their
conntry's good, while at the same time
seeking to better their individual condi-
ton There was misery enough in the
land with the numbers that were there,
and perhaps that misery may have been
lessened by reducing the population.
When things are at the worst a change Is
acceptable and Immigrants to this coun-
try could not but think that Ireland
would be benefited by their departure
and perhaps they will demonstrate this
theory when the meeting takes place in
Chicago a! few days hence, much perhaps
to the discomforture Of such men as the
editor Of the Scottish American, who ac-
cept all the benefits bestowed upon them
by the United States but who still swear
allegiance to the union Jack. And in this
connection one is reminded Of the words

1T LOOKS LIKE ALLISON.

e.. + II
Senator Allison, of Iowa, is a modest
man, but It is the silent porcine that as
Stimulates the provinder. He has been
locked upon as a cssndi date next year for
the presidency but it was thought that
stronger men would defeat him. It is
difficult to tell, however, what a day
may bring forth. Matt Quay will no
doubt secure the craftsmanship of the
Republican National Committee Of Penn
sylvania, and when tho time comes for
action he will swing the state delegation
in the convention to the support Of Alli-
son. He has no love for Harrison. He
elected that gentleman over to the presi-
'dency, or was the main factor in ac-.
complishing 1t, and when Benny got into
the White House his head got too big
for his grandfather's hat and he turned
up his nose at Quay, the man who had
made him. Its a long lane that has no
turning, and everything comes to him
who waits. Quay has waited and re-
venge is sweet. n.
AS to Mckinley. he thinks he has one
idea and only one--the- tariff-and that
idea he. borrowed, so, consequently, he
will pass him by. Reed he considers an
able man, but he lives in the east instead
Of the west and he feels assured that the
majority of the people want western
man. On this account Morton would
meet with the same objection.
All things considered the Hawkeye
state stands an excellent chance Of se-y
curing the Republican presidential can

THE YANKEES WIN.

The international yachting race be-

country, and the Valkyrie, representing
England, unexpectedly came to concl,1-
sion ON Thursday, three Of the contests
ont Of the five being awarded to the De-
fender. b
In the first contest with the wind favor
able to the British boat and unfavorabie
to the American, the latter won, beating
the Valkyrie by between eight and nine
minutes. In the second trial the valky-
RE ran foul Of the Defender, greatly dis
abling the latter, but at the end of the
contest the Yankee boat was ON the point
of passing the Britisher when the line
was crossed, and would no doubt have
beaten her competitor as easily as she
did III the former race had she had an
other mile in which to prove her ability
A protest being entered, and the race, un-
der the circumstances, was given to the
Defender. The Americans, however, were
DESTROYS of running the race over again
and thus settle the contest In manner
acceptable to all, but Lord Dunravean,
owner of the Valkyrfe, would not have it
so. hut 4, would rather trust to
the decision Of the yachting
club, and when that was given
to the British boat it did not
seem to meet with the Englishmans
Wishes However, when the time was
called on Thursday for the third contest,
there was strong wind and after
start being made by both boats the Val 9 I

over the course alone. S'#5$
It was evident to the Britishers and

Ireland being made a cardinal, and he
answered that while there was no definite
knowledge on the subject he would not
be surprised if such should be the case.
The success Of the papal legation at.
Washington, he said, Is in Archbishop
Ireland's favor, as he had been q cham
pion Of the legation when it was estab-:
lished and as consequence his wisdom
and efforts for the good of the church in
the United States should be recognized by
the Holy See. Howev yer, he did not think
that the cardinals hat would be bestowed
upon him before Mgr. satoli had had
that honor. And thus step by step has
Archbishop ireland advanced in the
church as he has also advanced in the es-
timation of the people.
