Democratic politics are in such bad
shape in the ninth congressional dis
trict, that Mr.. Fitzgerald feels COM
PEELED to 'leave a sick bed' to stem
the tide that is setting against him.
The combination of Mr.. Krebs, the re-
publican candidate, and Senator CALI
van, the independent democratic candi-
date, together with the Vaccinations
of Senator Lomasney, are causing the
only New England democratic con-
gresham much uneasiness. 1t would
be odd, indeed, if this district should
chance to 60 republican.

A LARGE GIFT.
The Marquise de Merinville Establishes
a Scholarship at Georgetown Univer-

Washington, Nov. 1.-The Marquise
de Merinville, who was formerly well
known in America as Miss Mary
Gwendeline, Caldwell, marked the oeca-
sion Of her visit to the Catholic Uni
versity on last Sunday by giving to the
rector Of the university, Right Rev. DR..
Monsignor Thomas ]. Conaty, a check
for $4,000, with which to establish a
scholarship in the Caldwell hall of div
unity, for the diocese of Peoria. The
scholarship is founded in the name of
her young nephew, Waldemar Conrad,
Baron Won Zedtwitz, the son of her

WITT. formerly Miss Lena Caldwell, who
gave the university the divinity chapel
as memorial to her parents.

The New York World publishes tele-
grams from eleven United States sena-
tors opposing the payment of any sun
of money for the transfer of the Phil
ippines. Four of these senators are re-
publicans six are democrats and one
is a populist. The republicans are Hale
Of Maine, Burrows of Michigan, Chand-
Ter of New Hampshire and Pettigrew Of
South Dakota. It is a fair presumption
that nearly all the democrats and popu.
lists in the senate will oppose such g
settlement, though many of them ap.
prove of annexation.

Governor Black not only speaks or

his successor will be compelled to con-

GRADUALLY GROWING WEAKER.

Norwich, CT, Nov. The past "a
hours have brought no marked change
in the condition Of Hon. David A. Wells,
though the attending physician express
ed the opinion that his distinguished
patient was gradually growing weak
er. No immediate collapse is anticipat-
ed. however,.

The option or concession which has
just been granted in Nicaragua for the
building of another canal, is said to
have embarrassed the administration at
Washington, because the government is
supposed to be committed in some de-
gree to the canal company of which
Warner Miller is the leading factor.
Judging from appearances, that is the
very purpose Of the new company In
obtaining this option it may have fore
seen an opportunity to make little
money by sale. That would mean not
only embarrassment but additional ex-
penss to the government.

Expenditures in September and Octo-
ber amounting to $45OOO,OOO, have
brought the cost of the war up to s160, =
600, 600, and it remains to be seen wheth-
er there will be any perceptible decline
during November. The deficit of $14,-
272,948 in the ordinary revenues for the
past month is a couple of hundreds of
thousands of dollars less than for the
preceding month. The cost Of garri-
sons for the remaining eight months of
the fiscal year is still estimated at &c.,
100000 month, and if it does not ex-
coed this figure, the cost of the war
at the end of the treasury year, next
July, will be S24O,0oOO0O. The Philip
pine payment, however, is yet to be
provided for, and it may turn out that
the very liberal provision made for the
war by Secretary Cages $500, 900 GOO
loan, will prove to be no more than is
needed

To every Irish heart.

Ere it joins the deep, deep sea.

A haven of rest at last.

unc step and then another,
And the longest walk is ended:
One stitch and then another.
And the longest rent is mcnded;
One brick upon another,
And the highest wall is made:
One flake upon another,
And the deepest snow is laid.
So the little coral workers,
BY their slow but constant motion,
Have built those pretty islands
In the distant, darll-blue ocean:
And the noblest undertakings
Mans wisdom hath conceived,
BY Oft-rcpeated efforts
Have been patiently achieved.
Then do not look disheartened
Ger the work you have to do.
And say that such mighty task
You never can get through:
But just endeavor day by day
Another point to gain.
And soon the mountain which YOU feared
Will prove to be q plain.
Rome Was not built in u day."
The ancient proverb teaches;
And nature, by her trees and flowers,
The same sweet sermon breaches.
Think not of far-off duties.
But of duties which are near,
And having once begun to work,
Resolve to persevere.

The Glove of country has always been
one of the characteristics of the Irish
race. AS Saint Columbia, whose life Of
devotion and love of country has won
the admiration of the world, exclaimed,
death in dear Ireland is better than a.
life without end in foreign Chimes"
From the time the Normans invaded Ire
land in the Twelfth century, and the cry
, was, "land or life," the history of the
Irish people has been "the record of ma
tons woes.'
Disorganized, rent by civil conflicts
within, she became an easy prey to foes
/ from without. For 700 years pillaged,
plundered and oppressed, the only mys-

entirely. That hope did not die out and

/ else than a miracle.
Less than Ireland has endured has

today we rejoice to know that her people

reform" and "homc rule"
Revolutionary methods have often
Eeen tried, and as often failed. The fate
of the Geraldines, the Emmets and
O'Neils are familiar to you all. Patriotic
as were the motives of these men, too
often the only effect which followed their
efforts was the enactment of more rigid
laws and more severe penalties by their
oppressors across the channel.
The organization Of the Land League
in 1870 was the beginning of the end' to
this great question. Already it has borne
fruit in the land bill of 1881, and the Ear
rears act' of 1882 1t has been demon
strated that seven Irish members, with
such leader as Charles Stewart Parnell,
can block the wheels of the house of
commons. With the united influence of
the Parnell party the Gladstone party
and the National League, Erin will yet
receive the reward which she deserves,
after centuries Of suffering-the lands in
fee simple, the right to govern them
selves and the establishment of ma
/ tional parliament in College Green.
