WHY 1HEY LIKE Thz1d.

At banquet given on ST. Patricks day
in New York, Charles A. Dana, editor
OF the Sun, used these words in answer
to an oft-repeated question usually pusS
forth for the purpose of misrepreseuting
the Irish people as race Il can
tell You why the oJd, original Amer
leans like the Irish better than any other
people who come here to build up the
country. First, the Irish come here with
the political instincts Of free people.
They are born politicians. They know
what is necessary to preserve the gov
ernment of a free people. They do not
stay away from the primaries. They
always vote The people may call them
selves free who have no sense for roli-
tics, but it is a people who do their DUTY
at the conventions and at the ballot box
who are really free.
Another reason is that after the Irish
are here end settled in America, w nile
they love the old sod they continue no
separate organization. They belong to
us. They are part of us. They are
Americans always. l am bound to say
they are often more truly, earneHtly
American than many of the native stock.
Another reason-the Irish never turn
their backs on the flag. They know the

pILLsRuRY ON FLOUR.

Charles A. Pillsbury, is the largest
miller in the world and manufactures
one fifteenth OF all the -four that Is
made In the United States. The total
output Of the 1S,724 mills is between 55,-
Ooe 900 and so, 100000 barrels year, and
the product of his mills alone will aver
age 5,000.00 barrels year, on which the
profit will average not more than 10 cents
a barrel, which would bring Mr.. Pills
bury AIN income of 100000 a year. As
regards shipping rates he says he can de-
liver a barrel of -four in Washington
from his mill in this city for the same
price that it costs him 70 deliver a barrel
OF -four to his own MSuse He further
says he can send carload Of -four from
Minneapolis to Washington at the rate
Of 90 cents barrel, and he cannot hire
an exDressrnan to haul it between his
mills and his house, which are only two
miles apart, any cheaper. He has sent
-four all the way from Minneapolis to
Liverpool for SO cents a barrel, and So
he thinks the millers have no right to
kick about such rates This is chiefly due
to Canadian competition, and he thinks
that Senator Cullom and the Chicago
representatives make mistake when
they oppose Canadian competition.

THERE is STILL HOPE.

The farmers have been growing for
some time past, and they have had reason
to growl, for the multifarious grievances
which they have had TO bear-the low
price of everything which they have had
to sell and the high prices of many things
which they have had to purchase. There
IS hope, however, for the near future.

Chicago, the other day said: i believe,

IS CUBA FREE 2

Murat Halstead, who recently Travelled
through Cuba, says:
AS 10 the oft-repeated question whether
the Cuban insurgents have government
that is in good form for recognition, the
fair answer is they do not seem 70 have it..
In all candor the evidence is insufficient.
There has been sort Of fairy tale tl1al
somewhere in the swamps or the noun
tains there is a village that is the seat Of
the government Of the Republic of Cuba
"a president and cabinet answering TO
their names-but saw only one man who
professed to have visited this center Of
authority, and did not believe what he
said. When there was a call upon this
gentleman for convincing detail of cold
facts, he became reticent. There were
several newspaper ntan willing to take
amy risks to reach The Seat of Govern
ment Of Free Cuba, and with abundant
gold to go to 1T, even bribing their way.
They were not only earnest but feverishly
anxious for the enterprise. and could get
mo forwarder," as the English say. II
was common thing for persons who were
or said they were in communication with
the rebels, to offer guides for correspond
ents to the distant capital, and prepara-
tions to go we're made often, but some
thing happened all the time to put off the
| Journey This gave rise to apprehension:
that the capital city would always be il
the next province, or beyond the noun
tains, or far away in the marshes. AS fcl

Americans who are now serving life sen

principle. abhorrence of injustice and IN
tolerance and deep love of country, were
cast into these dungeons, there to spenc
the rest of their lives and suffer innum~
cradle torments at the hands OF that
cruel tyrant of the oppressed. What
have these men done that they should be
thus consigned to a hell upon earth, a.
the English prison is especially made for
Irish political prisoners, who are cas-
into the same wards as murderers anL
criminals of the worss type and treated
as such? Is that justice? Will any fair

the interstate commerce cases will not
have much effect upon the shipping in

rons they will find some way to do 1T
honestly or dishonesty, and when the

they will try another Senator Cullom

A man has been pronounced insane in

grand women's minstrel show with Ade-
lima Patti as interlocutor, and Sarah
Besnhardt and Susan B. Anthony as end
men--they may be permitted to be called
such as there are no women nowadays.
1t is a great scheme and there is money
in it and Chicago people are not given

there are dollars. Is the Windy City
drifting towards the esthetic instead of
towards the stock yards?
