DUBLIN CONVENTION.

The summing up of the Dublin conven-
tion amounts to very little. 1t was not the
fault Of those who attended as delegates
from any portion of the world, but the
fault rather of the Irish factions who
failed to take part in the convention.
The Redmondites and Healyites were alb
sent, and the leading gentlemen-those
who live across the seas-who attended
were John Dillon, Thomas Sexton, Will
lam O;Br:en and Thomas r. O'Connor.
Those who attended from this country,
Canada, AUSTRALIA and elsewhere, their
names have already been published in the
Irish Standard There were perhaps
5000 present--aM enthusiastic, but with
out ability, under the circumstances, of
much, except to pass GER
tain resolutions which could have no Of
feet, because there were no means pos
sible Of carrying out their mentions.
0 It must be sadly said that the conven-
ticn was failure not a failure for the
good intentions Of those who attended as
delegates, but failure as to the results
attained. Nothing was accomplished.
Justin Mccarthy called the convention to
order, and the Most Rev. Patrick O'Don-
nell, bishop Of Raphoe, was made pernaa-
nent chairman. The question; Of the
t.sParis funds came up IN resolution,
but no action was taken upon II.
It would be useless to take up al the
proceedings IN detail Of the convention
as they amounted to- little. There was
nothing finally mpl:shed. and good
nature, even In con yention, can hardly
be expected TO work 4 miracle for Ire
.and's benefit. n

The Senator from Nebraska is laboring
under great delusion If he believes that
he can take the silver dollar or paper dol
lar to any foreign country, either civilized,
semi-civilized OR barbaric, and without
fear Of discount or depreciation, get as
much for it as he can get for a gold dollar.
The silver dollar and silver certificate and
other paper money can buy as much as the
gold dollar in this country, but nowhere
else on earth. The silver dollar does not
go around the earth at the value of 100
cents, and it will not circulate outside OF
the United States. Its purchasing power
is less than that of the god dollar outside
Of this country by AZ cents. 1t is not a
full legal tender for all debts but at home,
where it is kept at a parity with gold by
our government. Neither can Mr.. Thurs
ton take the silver dollar or it's representa-
tive, the paper dollar, into any free silver
country OF the world and buy twice as
much for it as with the silver dollar of the
foreign country, unless that country mas

In exchange by India, China and Japan,
ard the American standard dollar is not
since it's decentralization. This American
silver dollar can purchase as much OF
commodity in Mexico as $1.90 silver money
of that country can purchase there, and
solely because the Mexican merchant
knows that when he trades with the United
States, with which his country is in close
he can buy as much with it as
with the American gold dollar. But if he
trading with the United
States he would not exchange his own dol
lar for it, because his own dollar contains
more silver bullion.
John M. Thurston knows very well that
the gold dollar,.and not the silver dollar,
is the measure Of value in buying from or
selling to other nations on god standard,
and that silver is never sent abroad from
this country to pay debts or buy products
It Is gold that is always paid out to foreign
nations which have adopted the British
gold standard, and we do but little business
with countries on a silver basis and we
are not likely to do much until we adopo

age of gold. When silver Is restored to
it's former position with gold, then and
not till then will the gold and silver dollars

The Dublin convention accomplished
one thing that REBOUNDS to It's credit. 1t
resolved to collect no more funds for
Ireland unless the ambitious, wrangl!ng
gentlemen over there would come to their
senses and unite upon some worthy pol

Irish members took their ease, disported
themselves about the city Of London and

After rebuk:ng some foolish people for
placing faith in a prediction that the
world Will come to an end some time in
the year 1896, the Pittsburg Catholic says:
We fear that the old sinful world is des-
tined to jog along in the orbit long after
we have slept the peace of the just and
some future antiquarian will have digged
up our bones, like the relics Of a past
people at McKees Rocks and wondered
to what race and nation we belonged.
Let us go along and be merry in the sense
that we have good consciences, for the
world ends with us as we bid adieu in
the rest Of the grave. 1t is ever ending
for those to whom death comes, ever be-.
ginning for those born into it. In Gods
own good time it ends for ALL but that

interested in the United States and in our

TIME FLIES.

Friday Of last week marked the h1ty-
second anniversary of the acton OF the
British House Of Lords In. declaring Dan
iel O'Conne,ps trial and imprisonment IL
legal. The event is within the recollect-
ion of many Of our Citizens who were born
in, the Green Isle, says the Canadian Free
man. No leader of men in the worlds
history fought single handed against such
heavy odds, nor wrested victory from more
powerful and INSCRIPTIONS enemies than
O'Connell In the struggle for Irish Catholic
emancipation. The fact that he had as
sumed the leadership Of the repeal agita-
ton in 1910, alarmed the English Govern
ment which determined to stop it by pro-
hibiting meeting and throwing it's leaders
into prison. On the 14th of October, few
days after the great meeting to be held at
Clontarf had been proclaimed and proh:b-
tied. warrants were issued for Daniel
.O'Connell, M. p, for County Cork; John
O'Connell, M. P, for County Kilkenny;
Rev, Father Tyrell, parish priest Of Lusk;
Father Tierney, parish priest of Contrib
ret, Monahan; Charles Gavan Duffy, pro-
prtetor Of the Nation; Richard Barrett,
proprietor Of the Pilot; Dr.sJ Gray, pro-
prietor Of the Freeman; Thomas Steele,
head pacifcator Of the repealers, and
Thomas Matthew Ray, secretary Of the Re
peal Association. True bills were found by
the Grand Jury on November 8, and, after
various delays the trayersers, with the ex-
ception of Father Tyrell, who died In the
meantime, were put upon trial in the
Queens Bench, Dublin, on January 10,
1874. There were eleven counts In the long
indictment, mainly based upon utterances
at public meetings. There was not single
Catholic on the jury. O'Connell was es-
corted to the court by immense crowds
and almost royal state. The Lord Mayor
and Catholic Aldermen in their robes
formed part of the procession. The man
who won, above all others, honor and dis
tirction in the memorable trial was Mr..
Whitehead, Tory Of anti-1rish connec-
tions. He was counsel. for Mr.. Duffy, but
he made a magnificent plea which was a
yindicat:on Of the repeal agitation and the
course Of the agitators, equal in power and
eloquence to Currans best efforts, Or
O'Connell's famous plea for Barrett.

The Kansas CITY Star says: Major
Mckinley is in wide disagreement with the
leading orators of his, party. In his letter
of acceptance the Republican candidate ex-
presses unwavering faith in international
bimetal,ism, while ex-President Harrison,
in his New York speech the other night,
declared that not only Is our Government
power,ess to make sixteen ounces Of silver
equal to one ounce Of gold, but that France
and England and Germany cannot do that
unless the markets respond. 1t IS interest
ing to find an equally wide difference Of
opinion between Major Mckinley and
John Sherman on another subject. The
major states that protection has lost none
Of it's virtues and that the duty Of the Re-
publicans will be to restore it, while Sher-l
man In his Columbus speech, states posi-
lively that protection, as Mckinley under
stands it, cannot be restored, and adds thaA
it is waste of time to talk about it. Such
consistent gentlemen should get together
and revise their political notes. "

that this ia campaign Of education; In
view of the fact that the theory OF finance
by which mercantile England holds the
debtor nations Of earth at her mercy Is
masquerading in the United States as the
angelic forerunner Of a noble ideal civlli-
cation, it is certainly pertinent to adduce
the evidence of English experts as to the
ethics and practical workings Of this mill
email system on It's native heath. More
over, the testimony of American citizens,
giving the English government suggestions
as to matters IN the United States might
not be deemed out of place at a time when
agricultural conditions apparently justify
the opinion that all is not as it should be.
In any case these things will be printed,

the United States as debtor and creditor,

rogative of the American people to find
out if they can what manner of men their
legislators have mortgaged the resources
of the country to pay. They can only do
this in one way, reliably, and that one
way is by determining II possible what
their creditors are doing among themselves,
and doing to other debtors. Men who will
deliberately legislate in India with view
to obtaining as much revenue on~the sly as
possible, utterly regardless Of right or
wrong, the interests of humanity, or
claims of civilization, are not likely to be
doing business in American securities solely
for the fun of the thing, nor are they
fostering a system of finance in this debtor
country altogether for the building up OF
an ideal republic For these and score
of concurrent reasons it is well for those
who are responsible for the casting Of :n-
telligent votes to get at the facts in all
these matters. 1t may be annoying to
those whose theories are blown away by
disclosure of governmental proceedings,
but this, while possibly a matter, will not
be permitted to stop the procession. All
parties alike claim to be seeking cam
paign Of education. Some of them ap-
parently are already surfeited with facts
they can neither dispel nor subvert. ft

THE CARNIVAL.


The carnival in the Twin Cities last
week was magnificent success from
every point Of view. The gorgeous pa
geants Of almost every conceivable de-
scription drew from the vast number of
people in attendance the most enthusi-
astic applause, but the greatest attrac-
ton in this city was on the last night Of
displays-the turnout of the firemsn.
In this city the Knights of Pythdas was
the leading attraction, apart from the
street parades and illuminations, and in
st. Paul the G. A. R. encampment held
sway.
The whole affair was such a success
that the carnival portion of it will
undoubtedly be repeated next year.
