The Irish World is delivering telling

tection.
The strike on theEvansvilleIndian-

ing settlement.
There is a general movement in Kan
sas in the direction of fusion between
the Democracy and the Union Labor
party. "
This favored little commonwealth
has a superb school fund , which is rap
idly assuming immense proportions.
Invested as it should be , its growth
would be healthfully stimulatedand , the
state school tax would be desirably re
duced.
The outrageous , unreasonable and
virulent assaults made on the republi
can party by the third party prohibition
ists , through some of their speakers ,
candidates and their pressis absolutely
uncalled for , senseless , disgusting and
unbearable. Intensified , tooby the fact
that the republican party has three pro
hibition states to its credit ; while the
prohibs have nothing but vituperation
of that party in their assets.
Having refused the advice of con
gress in this serious matter , nnd having
gone ahead and negotiated a treaty
whicli the representatives of the fisher
ies industry declare not only beneath the
dignity of the country , but inadequate to
protect their interests , the President
makes a spectacle of himself now by
proposing measures which he refused to
employ when the provocation was fresh
and the occasion still existed.
The Eepublicans of Wisconsin have
nominated a newspaper editor for Gov
ernor. The man is Mr. W. D. Hoard of
Atkinson , Jefferson county. He is by
nature an agriculturist as well as a
statesman , and his chief paper we be
lieve there arc several of them is de
voted to the affairs of the dairy , and is
published weekly. He was a soldier in
the war , and was an orderly at General
Butler's headquarters during the occu
pation of New Orleans. Mr. Hoard is
also one of the greatest humorists of the
country , and can tell a story better than
any other man. He was nominated
against tho machine and the politicians ,
and his election is certain.
Senator Allison has been doing
some mori' figuring and he finds that the
expenditures of the government during
the four years of Cleveland's admini3-
tration exceeded by $95,000,000 the ex-
penditures for the four years of Garfield's
and ; Arthur's administrations. .Senator
Beck , in replying to this , complimented
Senator ; Allison for his fairness. And
yet this is the great reform administra-
: tion , an aaministration that came into •
power on its promise of economy and
on ' its charges of republican reckless-
ness i and extravagance. Yes , this is a ,
wonderful administration wonderful <
for a good many things that it would !
rather not have brought to public atten- <
tion. ]

"Politics makes strange bed-fel- (
lows. " A few months ago ' 'the old
Roman" was vigorously prosecuting Al- <
len O. Meyers oft account of the tallyt t
sheet forgeries at Columbus , Ohio. Now
the genial Meyers , as correspondent of J
the Cincinnati Enquirer , accompanies
the noble old Italian on his grand swing (
around the circle. In the reception
room at the Palmer House , Chicago , Sat- ]
urday , as Meyers was entertaining a se
lect coterie of friends and Mr. Thurman
t
was shaking hands with the throng on
the other side of the apartment , a trim
looking gentleman wandered about the
room trying to identify some one that
he could trust in the crowd. Meyers
noticing the look of distress on the face
of one distinguished' for gontilit } ' , quiet- [
ly enquired , "Who is that ? " "That , "
said one of the party , "is the Chief Jus
tice of the United States. Allow me to v
introduce you. " "Thanks , " remarked
Meyers , regretfully ; "I guess not ; he
can 't do my case any good. "
The unprecedented demand for cam
paign literature is one of the most i > n- v
couraging features of the present can- j t
vass. There has never been anything I
like it in the historv of presidential '
• I y
-ntests. . Th < ! ? pirt f inve tigatii n -
this year is not confined to ; mv partieu f [
inr class but extends to all the people , I
: iil persons are showing an interest now „
in economic questions that never before ii
Kave them any attention. In the presJ' '
ent canvass the masses are not depend-
ing. as they usually do , in a national ia
campaign , upon speakers for enlight- j
nient , but they are eagerly seeking other t
sources of information and are -
;
triously reading everything which conies , ,
in their way touching the great issue s
before the country. Tons of tariff litt
eraturehave been sent out from Washh
ington and New York to all points of
the country , and still the demand for c
documents bearing upon the tariff is un-
diminished. Nothing could be more ,
hopeful than such an evidence of inter- t
est on the part of the people touching • •
any public question. It indicates unii
mistakably an elevation of the standard fl
of popular intelligence that should prove E
source of the liveliest gratification to
every patriotic citizen. It shows that the
great mass of the voters of this country
are learning to think for themselves ,
and that the auspicious day is already c
beginning to dawn when the right in f
suffrage shall be exercised with a ration- „
al appreciation of the grae responsi- ;
bilities attaching to that privilege. [ :
"DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP ! "
HEAUQUAUTEUS'i. 'ND NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT
GitAND AllMV OF THE ItEFUULIC AND NA
TIONAL Association or Naval VETEnANS ,
TO BE IIKLIJ AT COLUMI1US , OHIO , SEPTEM-
ueu 10 TO 15,1888.
Dear Shipmate : During tho second week
of tho "Ohio Centennial" tho National Reunion
of Naval Veterans will be held at Columbus ,
Ohio , from September 10th to 15tli. under the
directiou of the Twenty-second National En-
campmentof the Grand Army of the Republic ,
at which timo thero will be a hundred thou
sand army veterans here , and a thousand or
more Naval Vetorans. A cordial invitation is
extended to you to be present on this occasion.
Earnest efforts are being made by tho Nation
al Association of Naval Veterans , as well as
ourselves to have as many Naval Veterans
present ns possible , and extensive arrange
ments arc being made to mako the Naval Dis
play a grand feature of the parade. Soveral
gunboats of different models , with mortar
boats , etc. , will be in lino , run by steam , from
which mortars will bo flrcd throwing up day-
light fireworks. Tho ex-sailors of Columbus
have organized a "Crew" and will muster as
such in naval suits of bluo pants , wbit shirts ,
and blue caps. We recommend that the cx-
sailors of each city whero a dozen or more can
be mustered , organize a Naval Crow , adopt a
uniform and come prepared to turn out with
uo as sailors in the great parade of September
11th. A large room in tho State Capitol has
been assigned to the National Association of
Naval veterans for headquarters , and also a
large linll in the Sullivant School Building , just
threo squares from the Capitol , for general re
union purposes. A program will be arranged
for each day of the reunion , and each evening
will have its entertainments. All honor to the
Union Soldier who protected our flagon land ,
but equal honor is also due to the Sailor , who
not only fought on land as well as on water ,
but also was exposed by scalding steam , the
stealthy torpedo , the battering ram and a
watery grave. There was uot a moment of his
service to his country that did not expose him
to danger of lire or limb. Tho vast , extensive
and important service rendered byourgallant
Navy in the late war is not known or appreci
ated by the present generation as fully as it
should be. Not only in the War of Rebellion ,
but in all previous conflicts in which wo have
been engaged as a Nation , our Navy came ful
ly up to the requirements of the emergency ,
surpassing the expectations of the people and
fairly covering itself with imperishable re
nown. We point with a feeling of pride to its
heroic achievements and brilliant exploits , to
the battles we fought , the victories we won ,
and the grand results accomplished. Forts
Walker and Beauregard , Forts Jackson and
St. ! Philip , Forts Henry and Hindman , Forts
Morgan and Gaines , Forts Hatteras and Clarke ,
are but a few of the victories for which the
Nation is indebted exclusively to the Navy.
We did equally well on the ocean , everywhere
demonstrating ' , in language too plain to be
misunderstood , the superiority of the Ameri
can sailor. The destruction of the"Merrimau"
by Worden ; the"Manasses"byFarragut ; the
"Albamarle" by Cushing ; tho • • Arkansas" by
Porter ; the "Alabama" by Winslow are events
to which we can refer with a considerable de
gree of pride. Farragut'a triumphant ascen
sion : of the Mississippi River , and his August
morning in Mobile Bay , have never been
! equalled in the annals of warefare , ancient or
modern. The names of Morris and Worden ,
Stringham < and Goldsborough.Foote and Davis
Dupout : and Dahlgren , Cushing and Rodgers ,
Wilkes and Winslow , Porter and Farragut
should ' be written in letters of gold on tho
pages ] of our country's history , because they
will continue to accumulate additional honor
and , lustre from generation to generation un
til i time shall be no more. All Naval Veterans
sailors and gunboutmen are cordially invit
ed ' and urged to join in this , perhaps the last
Reunion J we will he permitted to enjoy : itwi'I '
undoubtedly be the largest that was ever held
or will be held. Shipmate , make an effort to
come nnd bring others with you and let us
have one more grand muster. If you cannot
come with a crew , come anyhow and report at
headquarters in the State House as.soon as
you arrive and see your o Id shipmates ; it will
do you good. SYMMES E. BROWNE ,
