Famine IN Ireland .

Along with the famine that has come to
India from too little rain is another
threatened famine in ireland from de-
StructiOn of crops by too muck rain The
potato is the chief article of subsistence in
Ireland, and with the coDtinuouZ wet
weather rot has proven fatal to the crop
ireland, though favored by nature has
been Singularly unfortunate in her social
affairs An uncongenial nnion with Eng
land has kept alive bitterness between
the two countries, all the more intense be-
cause the prosperous landlord has too Of
ten taken for expenditure in the gayer
English communities the rent moneys dis
tresSed from the impoverished Irish tenant
farmers, whose narrow acres have never
been able to sustain the tilIer of the soil in
the comfort that should be the right of any
man who produces the yield and allow as
surplus enough to pay the rent exacted .
The American farmer knows nothing of
the meaning of rents. In this country
land is plentiful enough that all NAV aim
to possess what they need to cultivate if
they are saving and Industrious But in
the old world, where ground is high, what
| would buy small farm in this couLtry
will not pay the rent for the same number
of acres there.
The result is that the Irish farmer
works at a disadvantage. and is continual
lv discouraged. Crop failure means no
rent money or no food. No rent money
means no home. No food is starvation.
Food will be forthcoming from charitable
in other countries. But that will not bet
ter the situation more than temporarily.
Another famine will only intensity il.

Concession to Wheelmen.

For many months there has been a Wig
orOus kick on the part of wheelmen over
the charges of the Pennsylvania railroad
for transporting wheels as baggage. As a
result the following order has been issued
to all baggage masters:
THE new schedule of rates provides for
a minimum charge of 10 cents for any dis
tance for which the passenger fare is not
above that sum; for any distance covered
by passenger fare between 10 and II
cents. charge of IA cents is required: for
any distance covered by fare from Is
cents to S1.15, a charge of Is cents is re-
quired, and for each 80 cents in passenger
fare above that amount cents additional
must be paid for the carriage of the
wheel"
For tandems, or as it is expressed in the
circular, for machines with two or more
seats, a double fare is required and lamps
are taken only at owners risk"
Taken as whole. the new schedule is
equivalent TO a reduction of about third
from the old rates.

NOTES FROM HEADQUARTERS.

Items of News Regarding the Progress
of the National Campaign.
The demand for country newspa-
pers and daily papers published III
small cities and towns throughout the
west for news direct from national
democratic headquarters is something
marvellous. Gov. Altgeld expresses
entire confidence that Bryan and the
entire democratic state ticket will
carry Illinois by a rousing majority
The farmers throughout the state, he
says, are almost a unit for silver.
They ride 20 and 80 miles to hear free
silver orator, and the enthusiasm is
intense.
Beside the 1aboring man and the La
Dor organizations and the regular
democratic vote in Chicago there are
over 100 silver republican clubs, en-
bracing total membership in Chicago
of between $4,000 and 10000, all pledged
to Bryan and free silver. This, with
10000 populist votes, which are unit
for Bryan, will undoubtedly carry this
city for Bryan and free silver by an
Overwhelming majority.
In the Twelfth ward alone there is
silver republican club of 326 members,
every one of whom has heretofore been
a lifelong republican. This club
holds nightly meetings and the mem
bership is increasing daily.
j. r. Sovereign, grand master work.
mon of the Knights of Labor IN the
United States, has arrived in Chicago
for the purpose of taking an active part
in the campaign for the election of
W. j. Bryan. Grand Master Workman
Sovereign has established personal
headquarters at the Briggs house, but
will in day or two open a labor bureau
and begin IN active campaign among
the workmen Of Chicago and other cit
les of the country.
There will be state convention of
the Bryan silver clubs of Iowa at Mar
shalltown, Ia, October s, 1896, at ten

j. Bryan and Gov. Boies will address
the clubs at Marshalltown on that date,
Gov. Boies speaking in the after
noon and Mr.. Bryan at night. Re-
duced rates will be given on all rail-
roads.

A Lesson in "Good Politics."

'"To the Editor of the Herald:
IAN article appeared in yesterdays Paris

opened by the Herald in Paris for funds
to assist the political campaign now go
ing on in the United States against the

while agreeing in sentiment with the
gentleman who has so literally put mis-
name down for $500, do not think it would
be good politics for Americans residing
abroad to give such publicity to their feel
ings 1t would only serve as a campaign
document which the Bryan element
would avail themselves of to show how
certain class of Americans prefer to spend
their money abroad instead Of at home.

Great Shape.

Mr., Bryan Himself Nails This One IN
Great Shape.
Not content with the success of their
efforts to coerce laborers into voting
for Mckinley, the republican national
committee is circulating among Ital-
ians articles which happen to have ap-
peared in a paper Mr. Bryan once
wrote silver editorials for, claiming
that they express Mr.. Bryan's senti-
ments.
1t is simply another form of The re-
publican campaign lie. Mr.. Bryan was
responsible for nothing but the silver
editorials he contributed and had no
control over the paper. This CORE
spondcnce explains itself.
