The DhbliA Convention So Far is Not

The Dtblia Convention So Far is Not
Success.
DUBLIN, September 3.-With the Most
Reverend Patrick O'Donnell in the chair
the third days session of the Irish national
convention opened at IL o'clock this morn
ing. 1t cannot be said that the convention
up to the present has been a success The
end which II was hoped to obtain was the
uniting Of all the warning factions in the
Irish parliamentary party and out Of 1t.
and 1t cannot be denied that when the del
egates assembled this morning they were
as far from deciding upon any plan for at
tanning unity as they were when the call
ing OF the convention was first decided
upon.
The session today opened with a dra-
matte scene. Dean Harris Of Toronto was
recognized by the chair and he imme1i-
ately commenced a heated attack upon the
Dublin newspapers, asserting that they had
''foully insulted" one of the delegates from
Ottawa, Mr.. Heaney, in charging that he
was companion and consort OF the spy
Lecaron.'
In a moment the air resomnded with yells
Of towards" TRAITORS" etc, etc, and
much tumult followed.
When order was somewhat restored Dean
Harris described Mr.. Heaney's career in
Canada, asserting 1t was most honor
able one, and. finally, called upon the Of
Mr.. Heney did so. and made a telling
speech. during which he repudiated the
charge made against him by the Dublin
press.
At the conclusion OF his remarks, Mr..
Hearey was loudly cheered.
The regular business of the day was then
commenced. A resolution requesting infor-
nation as to the disposition Of the so-called
Paris funds was Withdrawn. The dele
gates then resumed discussion of the home
rule resolution offered by Mr.. John Dillon.
Canon McCartin argued that the leaders
Of the liberal party were not the friends of
Ireland.
Mr.. Costigan Of Ottawa. Canada. spoke
hopefully of the results which would be
attained by the convention.
Mr.. Fitzgerald of London contended that
the time has arrived to make English gov
eminent of Ireland impossible
Mr.. T. j. Ryan Of New York repudiated
the assertion attributed to the PaTnell.te
press that the American delegates were
nothing more than a "lot of ramps" In
so doing. Mr.. Ryan explained in detail the
position and qualities of the American dele
gates. asserting that they We're representa-
tive citizens, and we'll worthy of represent

PINGREE'S METHODS.
Dry Bones In Michigan Promised a

Dry bones IN Michigan Promised q
Severe battling.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
DETROIT, Mich, September 1, 1896.
Mayor Pingree has buried the Ratchet
with Chairman d. NJ. Ferry of the repub-
lican state central committee and the old
machine will conduct the campaign The
fact that Mr.. Ferry and his friends are
the heaviest contributors to the republican
campaign funds had something to do with
the adjustment of differences and Mr.. Pin
grees cordial greeting toward those whom
in the past he has considered his political
enemies. Since his nomination Mr.. Pin
gree has been much more conservative in
his attitude toward corporations and other
wicked things, and his friends are assur-
ing folks that If elected he will not be
nearly SO bad as apprehended. 1t is pretty
certain that he will rattle up lot of old
bones about the state. but 1t is generally
admitted that there are lot of old bones
that need rafting.
Don M. Dickinson has as yet taken no
part in the political complications that
have arisen and shows no signs of an in
tention to do so. Like Cleveland, he Is not
saying word, and the sound money
democrats are proceeding without him.
and, thus far, have got on very well. Elliott
G. Stevenson, the junior member of the
law firm Of Dickinson. Thurber & Steven
son, is an out-and=out silver man and is
supporting the Chicago ticket and plat
form. This has led to a dissolution of his
partnership relations with Mr.. Dickinson
and the private secretary, which took effect
September 1, and with the dissolution of
the partnership ceased a political combine
which was absolutely unique. Dickinson,
of course, was at the head of the combine
and it's moving spirit, and now, instead of
pulling with him, Stevenson will be against
him. Stevenson Is no longer chairman of
the state central committee. but Fred A.
Baker was elected at his suggestion and
he will be very close to the management
Of the campaign.

convention. This. they say. would cause no
end of trouble, as Cleveland would de-
cline and the convention would be thrown
into confusion.
One of the leading delegates from Illi-
nois says that the friends of Cleveland are
forced in self-defense to insist upon Palm
er in order to save Cleveland from embar-
rassment and the convention from trouble.
Mr. Forman of Illinois just told me that
Palmer's nomination was practically q GER
tainty. All the anti-Bragg people seem to
think they can make this plan work.
The declination of Cleveland, Watterson
and of Palmer has thrown the convention
into confusion. The Bragg people are not
united. and the opposition are looking
around wildly for a candidate. When
Palmer entered the hall today the dele
gates assembled stood up and cheered,
waving their hats.
The old Senator blushed and bowed re-
peatedly. The opposition to Bragg is bob
bling between Black and Lawler, neither
being entirely satisfactory. Before the day
is over ore Of them may have an inspira-
ton and suggest a name that will carry
the convention. Bragg's friends do not ex-
pect such an inspiration. and the old gen.
eral stands the picture Of cynicism await

INDIANAPOLIS. September 3. - The

penditures; to tha, maintenance of the pub
lie faith and sound money; and it is op-
posed to paternalism and ALL class lesis-
lation.
The declarations Of the Chicago conven-
ton attack individual freedom, the right
Of private conflict. the independence OF
the judiciary and The authority of the Pres
ident to enforce 4edersA laws. They advo-
cate reckless kattennpt to Increase the
price Of silver by legislation to the debase-
ment Of our pionetAry standard. and
threaten unlimited issues Of paper money
by the government.
They abandon for republican allies the
democratic cause OF tariff reform to court
the favor of protectionists to their fiscal
heresy.
In view Of these and other grave depar-
lures from democratic principles we can
not support the candidate Of that conven-
ton nor be bound by its acts.
The democratic party has survived many
defeats. but could not survive victory
won in behalf Of the doctrine and policy
proclaimed In it's name at Chicago. The
conditions. however, which make possible
such utterances from a national convention
are the direct result Of class legislation
by the republican party.
II Still pTCCIdlLIlS, as IL mas IoF years, LILO
power and duty OF government to raise and
maintain prices by law; and 1t proposes no
remedy for existing evils except oppressive
and unjust taxation.
The national democracy here recOnvened.
therefore, renews its declaration Of faith In
democratic principles, especially as appli-
cable to the conditions of times.
Taxation. tariff, excise or direct. Is right
fully imposed only for public purposes. and
not for private gain.
It's amount Is justly measured by public
expenditures. which should be limited by
scrupulous economy. The sum derived by
the treasury from tariff and excise levies
Is affected by the state of trade and volume
of consumption. The amount required by
the treasury is determined by the appro-
rriattors made by Congress.
The demand of the republican party for
an increase in tariff tax has its pretext in
the deficiency Of revenue, which has its
causes in the stagnation of trade and re-
drced consumption, due entirely to the
loss of confidence that has followed the
Iopulist threat Of free coinage and de-
probation of our money and the republic
can practice Of extravagant appropria-
ticns beyond the needs of good govern
ment. We arraign and condemn the popu-
listlc conventions of Chicago and st. Louis
for their cooperation

YAvAPAI MINING EXCHANGE.
How the County Will Advertise Her
 Resources.

Prescott Courier: The reporter vis- ited the Prescott mining exchange yes- terday and found President Brodie and Assistant Secretary Collum busy un- packing ore and arranging same with the exhibit already on shelves and in cabinets. There is a very creditable exhibit now placed, including DOT tion of the old worlds fair exhibit. Mine owners and mining men are re- spending liberally and increased inter est in the mining exchange is very manifest. The rooms are much vis- ited and are kept in an inviting condi- tion as possible. There can now be seen in the exchange rooms maps of mining districts and specimens of all most every known mineral bearing rock; also speciment of lithographic stone, onyx and some strange forma- tions which are only to be classified according to the visitors fancy; The exchange now has amembership of 40 and should have a membership of 500 President Brodie has corres- bonded with railroad companies with a view of getting them to advertise the resources of this section as they do those of southern California and has received favorable answer from the A. & IF. people, who say they will do all they can, and in so doing will thereby increase their direct traffic.

THE SMUGGLERS' PARADISE.

Yuma Sentinel: James L. Powell, United States inspector of this port, expects to soon be transferred to Bis bee. This office will be abolished and 300 miles of the most open country anywhere in the United States will be left unguarded. We think the govern ment is very short sighted when it re- moves the line rider from this district. The Gulf of California, the Colorado and Hardy's Colorado rivers are said to be infested with smugglers. On the California side of the river lead ing from Hardy's Colorado in Lower California across the miles of desert are a number of well beaten paths leading to the railroad track and also to San Diego. This country is unin habited by white men. The question has often been asked who makes these paths and keeps them continually fresh" showing beyond a doubt that they are being continually traveled. The question has remained for years unanswered and no doubt will continue to remain in that unenlightened stage. When Mir. Powell is removed the Colo rado river will be unguarded and will prove in connection with the Gulf of California one of the most successful smuggling highways in any part of the United States.

An Indian Legend.

The red men of the west have many curious legends concerning natures marvels: none more weird than that concerning Rock lake, Washington. Since time cut of memory the Indians of that vicinity have believed the lake to be the abode of sea monster, which never grows old, and whose chief diet is Indian flesh. According to the legend, no Indian ever entered it's wa ters and returned alive, no matter whether the rash act was committed by approaching it's margin for drink, for a swim, or for canoe ride. So thoroughly is this belief spread among the Indians of the northwest that each and every one would prefer death to touching it's waters.

 The house has passed the bill ap- propriating s2O0,000 for a government exhibit at the Omaha exposition in 1898.
 The, senate passed the contempt of court bill today without division.
 It also voted to again insist on the public buildings amendment to the sundry civil service bill and sent it back to the conference.
