Of Paterson. After a conference with
Mayor Graham and Sheriff Van Voorhis
ne sent word TO Coy. Mcclellan that the
presence Of the troops modified in Jersey
City and ready to start for Paterson was
unnecessary.
In his crusade against Sunday liquor
selling Dean McNulty has had many ex-
citing experiences Prior to the passage
Of the Bishop law the saloon keepers
Of Paterson who did business on Sunday
feared no one but the dean. In order 10
circumvent his visits the saloon keepers
provided their side doors with a latch and
chain, which became known as the Pap
Mac lock. a guard WAS on duty inside,
and when the door opened as far as the
chain permitted It was his duty TO re-
move the chain and permit the visitor to
enter-that IS. if the visitor was not
Dean McNulty. Despite these precau-
tons. however, the dean frequently man
aged to make his way into crowded bar
rooms on Sundays and invariably the
crowd fed through doors and windows.
Seldom Monday passed that did not
find the dean before the recorder making
complaints gainst saloon keepers for vio-
lating the excise law. and in nearly every
case the salo )n keeper paid his fine with
out contest or protest On one occasion
the dean was attracted to a saloon in
Oliver street The guard was momen-
tarily on duty. and when the priest made
his way 70 the barT0om the crowd fed.
leaving a score or more Of beer mugs on
the bar. Eying the beer mugs. the dean
remarked. Wen. 1 thought was coming
into a saloon, but I see il is q crockerv
shop. The saloon keeper paid a fine
next day. In all his unaided raids on
saloons only once was the dean attacked
by saloon keeper. The saloon man paid
a fine of $3.50, and only the intercession Of
the priest save him from State prison.
To show how Ireland has been bleed
ing herself to death By the support of
foreign manufactures, the following table
has been compiled from government sta
tistics-a table showing the value Of each
kind Of goods imported into ireland In
one year. The value is computed in
pounds sterling:
GZ7.l6i worth q aerated and mineral waters.
62.2l3 worth Of biscuits.
SOC worth Of boots ard shoes
d,all worth Of beds and bedstssds
6l.56s worth Of brushes and brooms
1921 worth Of candles
20. 900 worth Of cyeles.
s6.5i6 worth Of Jams and preserves
ss,9Sl worth Of organs and pianos.
a.Zs2 worth Of matches.
I,i76 500 worth Of bacon.
6.5i3 worth Of backing and blscklead
2o7. SOS worth Of confectionery
fSi.276 worth Of linen goods
1880 worth Of WOODEN goods
sSi0.62o worth Of draper.
1909. 30 worth OF paper, &c
Or altogether there were imported dur
ing that year e25. 025,7 54 worth Of manu-
featured or partly manufactured goods
alone, and the imports exceeded the ex-
ports $500 coo. Il would need a richer
country than Ireland TO stand this drain
continuously.
There are still in Ireland a number OF
land-grabbers; that Is to say, people who
have snatched up farms from which tho
owners were evicted, and these grabbers
cost the country a good deal in the form
of police protection. The latest returns
show that last year AZ persons were being
guarded by police. day and night, when
they slept and when they walked abroad.
anu 40 RNtGVAlS nNlC ASNt4N4hE Patrol OF
partial protection This year so persons
are receiving constant protection and III
patrol protection. The number of police
men exclusively employed in affording
constant protection TO new tenants was
on January 1. 1906. n. and on July l, 1907.
q II is hoped that the settlement Of
the question now under consideration of
Parliament will enable a reduction TO be
made in the general police establishment
Of the country, not only by releasing the
men now employed on protection duty. but
also by reason of the generally improved
condition of the country, which may be
expected upon the removal of agrarian
troubles.
Until recently Belfast was notorious as
being one of the most bigoted cities on
the round of the globe. Nowadays it is
fast losing that character. The Orange
men of Belfast, being chiefly working
men, are getting enlightened. and the man
who only FIVE years ago pelted a poor
actor who personated a friar In Shake
speareaa play in one of the Belfast the
alters went so far on last Sunday az to
pelt the notorious no-popery democrat,
Arthur Trew, because he reflected upon
the Catholic strike leader When. two
years since, Arthur Trew returned from
spending tweive-month in prison, as the
