THE IRISH CONVENTION.

On next Tuesday the much talked of Irish
National convention will meet in Dublin,
and so much has been written about it al
ready that further discussion this week is
unnecessary. Its proceedings, however, will
be watched with universal interest as some
predictions are that it cannot fail to be a
magnificent success while others assert
that it will be dismal failure because of
the lack of cohesion in the elements and
the strife among the factions. .,.eas
It is said the Canadian delegates to the
convention have decided that Hon. Ed
ward Blake, himself Canadian, should be
chosen as leader and consolidation of the
different factions. This would, no doubt,
prove no easy task for Mr.. Blake or any
one else with equal or even greater ability,
as the McCartheyites and Parnellites still
oppose each other with the utmost bitter
ness Still it is on this account that Mr..
Blake Is spoken of as such leader because 1t
is thought to be necessary to select some
one who has not heretofore been identified
particularly with any faction.
Irrespective OF the wrangling divisions
it is generally conceded that the convention
will promote much harmony.

ing the rich The assertion is a silly one.
There is vast difference between giving
every man an equal chance to earn a liv-1
ing, without being handicapped by trusts
and combines and special legislation to
tax the many for the benefit Of the few,
and a, system Of laws that will assist the
wealthy in making greater accumulations
and keeping the vast majority always In
debt while. the prospects of release grow
bleaker and beaker each year A small
class of men having more wealth than
they need or know what to do with, while
the rest of the nation, through pern!cious
legislation cannot make both ends meet
is not an edifying spectacle at the close
Of century which boasts Of the greatest
Civilization the world ever knew. 1t is
false to say that all have an equal chance.
All have not. The tendency of McKin=
leyism is to foster and protect certain
classes while all other classes must strug-
gle as best they may. This it is that has
caused the present upheaval among the
masses. They have withstood unequal
laws as long as it was possible to bear
them Now they rebel.
The reign of those hitherto in poverty
is now about to begin. Should they tres
pass upon the power granted them their
places will be filed by others more wor-
thy. But long privation has had a chast-
ening effect. And besides, when the peo-
ple have ruled and were not corrupted
by the use of money the nation was pros
porous. Il will be so again.

Speaking of Bourke Cockran's speech

Speaking of Bourke Cockran's speech in
answer to that of Bryan delivered in New
York, the Boston Republic says:
eve must frankly confess that as an
answer to that effort Mr.. Cockran's address
was not adequate or satisfying. 1t was
eloquent, it was brilliant, it was fervid,
but it was not convincing. 1t was d.sap-
pointing. Mr.. Bryan had outlined in de-
tail the policy and purposes Of those who
believe with him in the efficacy of the free
coinage of silver as a means toward reliev-
ing the present Industrial distress. 1t is
difficult for the ordinary voter to deter
mine whether Mr.. Bryan's argument is
sound or unsound. Consequently, he had
a right to expect that Mr.: Cochran would
clear up his doubts and throw light upon
the dark spots of the discussion. This
Mr.. Cochran did not succeed in doing. He
hurled vigorous epithets at the Populists;
he launched destructive shafts OF inyective
at the farmers of the West and South; he
scored the Chicago convention mercilessly,
but he did not, as far as We can judge from
a careful reading Of his speech, add much
to the common stock Of Information upon
the subject of finance"

people voted to show their preference for
United States senator. OF course the cleo
ton Of such a senator must be by the leg
is!ature but vote of the people was taken
to ascertain their choice in the matter.
There were nine candidates but the three
leading ones were Bryan, Bentley and
Thurston. The county in which Omaha is
situated and in which Bryan and Thurston
attended to their professional duties, gave
Bryan 9,947 and Thurston 6S7. In the
county in which both men live the vote
was, Bryan, 1864, Thurston, none. Platte
county. gave Bryan 1,612, Thurston, 10.
The county named after the senator, Thurs
ton, gave Bryan 402 and Thurston none-
The vote Of the whole state stood: Bryan,
S0,472, Thurston, 1866 ~.
! Nevertheless, in face Of the fact that the
people had chosen Bryan by such crushing
majority the legislature chose Thurston for
United States senator. But then it should
be born in mind that Thurston was the at
torney for the Union Pacific railroad and
that the members of the Nebraska legis-
lature were not rich men,, and be-
sides they We're very human-very. BY
this means Thurston won--by conquest or
purchase it matters not now.
This is the Thurston-who is
paid handsomely for going about the coun-
try telling the people how weak Bryan is
In his own state. This is the gentleman,
too, who is receiving large sums Of money
for proving himself a fals:ier, as he advo-
Gated on the stump in Nebraska short
time ago the same ideas the silver men are
now advocating in favor of silver.
But then he is only chip taken from
the same block from which the others
were broken off.

BRYAN'S SPEECH.

One would hardly think that paper like
the New York Financial News-a paper
devoted to Wall street matters-would
speak fairly of Bryan's Madison Square
Garden speech, particularly as nearly all
the other New York papers denounced It..
Nevertheless, it says:
"A great cry is made by the gold press
and by people anxious to find fault with
Mr.. Bryan because Mr.. Bryan read his
speech at Madison Square Garden.
1t is well enough to remind our dis
gruntled friends that another western man
set Mr.. Bryan the good example which he
followed This other man has some fame
as an orator, gained in the debate which has
become historical and in which he laid out
the foundations for the new party then
being brought into existence to combat the
shareholders oligarchy just as the Demo-
cratic party of today, under the Chicago
platform, IS fighting the fight Of the pro-
ducers against plutocracy and British DOM
ination.
Mr.. Lincoln read his speech at Cooper
Union because he knew, as MIR Bryan knew,
that he desired his speech to go as he made
it. and not az his enemies would make it
for him. If he gave them chance, It
would be necessary to have it In good
black and white, so that while being held
to whatever he might say, he could not be
held to anything his enemies might be
pleased to say for him. The INSCRIPTIONS
course of many of the papers opposed to
him fully justify Mr.. Bryan's precaution,
as they justified Mr.. L:ncoln's. :
Both speeches were made to stand, to be
considered calmly as the conflict prog
ress. Mr.. Lincolns speech did stand, and
so will Mr.. Bryan's. Those who thought
they could make any old speech and say
that Bryan made it were out of reckoning.
Mr.. Bryan had nothing to gain as an OFF,
hand speaker. His reputation has been
made. He was not dealing with his per-
sonal reputation or ambition, but with a
great cause intrusted to his hands, and it
was his duty, IN laying the foundation of
the campaign Of his party, to see that 1t
was laid SO firmly that the superstructure
built upon 1t would stand through what
is clear to be seen will be the stormiest
campaign of generation. He took no
chances, was tempted by no personal ambi-
ton. but did his work thoroughly we'll, as
Lincoln did. Lincoln was assailed with all
that malignity could invent in the way of
abuse, Misrepresentation and villiffcation.
But his speech stood because it was true.
and Bryan's will stand for the same good
reason. The speech he made will win his
campaign. -

CARLISLE'S ATTITUDE

A few years ago Secretary Carlisle was
strong advocate OF free silver. This every
body knows. Today he is as strongly OPP
posed to it. Nobody is supposed to know
what caused the scales to drop from his
ewes. but the majority of the people do
know, nevertheless.
Discussing this gentleman, the Peoria
Journal says: .sr.
..ssecretary Carlisle has written a let
ter in which he says it would not be the
duty of the government under free
coinage law for both metals to attempt
TO keep the standard silver dollar equal
in value to gold dollar. This is sweet
and refreshing. Is not Secretary Car
Isle aware that the school OF Anglo
American finance, OF which he is dis
tinguished exponent, struck down the
standard silver dollar in 1873, on the pre-
text that it was the duty of the govern
ment to protect the gold dollar, which
was then the less valuable of the two?
Were Secretary Carlisle consistent, he
would say as little as possible about the
duty of the government in relation to the
precious metals. His own system OF
finance, the system with which he has
cursed the country, is based upon open and
shameless discrimination in favor Of one
metal, gold, as against the other metal,
silver. All that the last-named metal
needs is a fair chance to perform its none
tary functions. 1t was worth more by three
cents on the dollar in coinage than gold
when American delegates Samuel B. Rug
giles and John Sherman, voicing the same
doctrine as that Of John G. Carlisle,
NOTED with Charles Fremantle, master OF
the English mint, and other enemies OF
this republic, for its characterization, on
the buncombe plea of establishing an UNI
versal monetary system. Secretary Car
Isle need not worry. The American peo-
pie will not call on him in future financial
straits. The man who log-rolled for the
repeal of the Sherman purchasing clause
on the pyetext that it would restore good
times has proven h.msel1 Iaise pfotuet'
and his opinions no longer carry weight.
All that the people want of their silver
dollar is that it be not Disseminated
against They have never asked special
government favors for it. That has been
the policy Of the gold monometalEst. The
idea that the American government has to
buy credit at heavy per cent on the In
vestment, and go to foreign money-loan-
ing pawn shop for the supply may do very
we'll for the present gold monometallic
administration, but in view Of the fact
that no two men have thus far gone out od
Office in the history Of this republic with
less public respect and more odium at
tached to their names than Grover Cleve-
land and John G. Carlisle, the less either
one of them has to say about the duty of
the government in finance the better.

TWO PICTURES.

M. r. ingalls, is president of the Big -Four
railroad system. In the past he has been
a free trade Democrat, but while he may
still be free trader he has left the Demo-
cratic party for the purpose of supporting
the demands Of the English and other for
eign stockholders of the road that the gold
standard shall be maintained in this coun-
try He had not the manliness to refuse
anything his bosses might desire. Was he
in consequence of his groveling attitude
and desertion Of principle characterized by
the gold.tes as an anarchist and danger
ous man? Not he. BY them his action
was applauded and he will be spoken Of as
a patriot. Such is one picture.
William P. St. John was president Of a
bank in New York at large salary. He
had been applied to by his bank associates
to prepare an argument against free silver.
He undertook the task, but in his study Of
the question he became convinced that his
own former ideas and those of his associ-
ates on the currency question were wrong,

The result was he gave up the bank presi-
dency and supported the cause of silver.
He followed his belief and preserved his
self respect. For this he was abused. Such
Is another picture.
/ The goldites praise one man for con-
temptible littleness and sycophancy and
heap abuse upon another for following the
dictates Of his conscience and preserving
his manhood
And this Is what the gold standard men
call preserving the honor Of the country

bestowing fulsome praise upon another be-
cause he has seen st to sell himself to

LORD RU SSELL.

Lord Chief Justice Russell, of Eng
land, delivered an address upon 'In-
ternational Arbitration" recently al
Saratoga before the American Bar Asso'
citation in which he pointed out clearly
the necessity of such a, mode Of settling
grave International differences and mis-
understandings. He did not think, how
ever, that permanent tribunal could bf
established, but for the accomplishment
of all practical purposes that would moi
be necessary.
When the United States proposed ar
bitration in the Venezuelan affair LORD
Salisbury almost secuted the idea but his
lordsnip has been thinking very seriously
since and has come to another conclusion
In this he was no doubt assisted largely by
the thinking people of England who were
not backward in denouncing the course
pursued by the premier. -...,. ~

the Times, of this city, says:
''Sir Charles Russell is one Of the great

admitted to be at the head of the London
bar when he was made chief Justice. HIS
elevation to that exalted position was a
tribute to his greatness. He is an Irish
man and Catholic in country that is
Protestant and in city in which there is
little sympathy with the Irish cause
among the aristocracy. His closing speech
in the Parnell- Times trial was admitted to
be the greatest oratorical achievement OF
the year. David Dudley Field, VINO heard
it, said that it was the greatest forensic
effort to which he had ever listened, or OF
which he had ever heard. The man was
moved by the intense conviction of the
justice of the cause for which he was
pleading and he was stirred with indigna-
ton at the methods pursued by those who
would defeat the hopes of the Irish. That
was several years ago, and since then he
has become the presiding judge in the
court before which he pleaded for Justice

amounted to over six hundred and twenty

THE BIG HEAD.

The Tribune of this city accuses Con-
gresham Towne Of having the "big
head because he desires to Hold his op-
pcnent, Page Morris, to the discussion
of silver to the exclusion of every thing
else. s.,
The facts are that when Morris &C.
cepted the nomination as a candidate
against Towne he accepted the challenge
Of. the latter to meet him in a series OF
thirty debates. The currency question
was naturally to be selected for debate,
that being the principal issue, if.not the
only issue, in this campaign.
Morris at first displayed frantic eager
ness to meet his opponent upon this issue,
and because Towne took short vacation,
Morris and his friends started all man
ner Of stories concerning him-that he
was keeping out Of the way and was
afraid to meet Morris, In the meantime
the latter was paving up the ground and
believing for Towne to come on. Towne
returned and acknowledged himself as
ready. Morris then thought thirty
debates were too many Towne proposed
ten, but even that number was too much
for Morris. Then six was proposed, but
Morris and his representatives still shud-
dered. They said they would accept four,
and while Towne hesitated to accept this
small number he said he would do so il
the money question only were discussed;
but even If six debates could be agreed
upon he would be willing to take up any
question that might be thought an issue
in this campaign, but the Morris men
insisted upon having only four debates
and in these all kinds Of questions would
be open for debate.
When Towne first proposed thirty de-
bates Morris, although accepting, thought
that fifteen would he sufficient, and now
he shivers in the face of four. 1t was
proposed early in the arrangements by
Towne that the debates should be conttn-
uous-one each evening for week--but
Morris wanted several days to intervene
between each debate.
1t is not likely the discussion will take
place. If, as the Tribune says, Towne is
troubled with the big head, it is very
evident that Morris is not troubled with
any head at all.
