The his torlan of this parlod cannot write chronicle of ( Jormiiny wllhonl HNimiiok. of I < ranei without Oninbettii , of Italy witliont Ouvou and Oarabaldl , of Ireland without rarnoll. The speaker men reverted to Ireland's turbulent bulont history before the beginning of th ( present century at which time the history o modern Ireland bosun. After war and do vnstntlon In other European countries then had followed pence , iccunornllon , pros pority. The Paradox ol'NntlniiM. Ireland forms the solitary exception to tin benefit-out noworot peace. Her .story Is Hit tmradox of nations. When moit at rust she lias snllcrt'd tint most misery. The results , Mr. Oopuw hold , were nouluc to condition * ot cllmatu , nor to the tompoi and capacity of tdo people. Then her condition must he dim to what Mr Gladstone has recently cliaracti-rl/ed as "con- turles of wrong. " Tliu forms of .self govern- munt wltdout the spirit of liberty , work li : greater Injustice tdan al.solntlsiu. Tdo auto crat can bo forcotl to listen to tde cry of lilt people , bill when they me misrepresented , 01 not roDruAOtitrd at all In tliu fodornl congress they luivu nt voice. Tlioro was no possibility ot tno Imperial parliament hoarln ; : or know- Int ! or caring for the wronssor nsnlratlons ol Ireland until I'arnell eame. llu compelled parliament to dear , and know , and care. Tin. man wdo took up tliu traditions of tirittui'-- ; fallnru and crystallzcd idem Into tliu force ! of BIICCU.SS after the lapse of ten decades , had neither eloquence nor genius , but dc possessed tdu tireless energy , tde grasj ; of dls surroundings nnd the dfiouness of aim willed command the business senates ot oin day. Tdo efforts of Qrattan and tdu struggles of O'Connell woio recalled. In O'Connoll's demand for tdo iulnilnlstr.it Ion of Iilsh do- mostluatralis by tde Irlsd people tdu Idea o ! dome rnlo dad blrtd. an Idea wdlcd Is todaj tdo aspiration of most Irlsliinen and tdo be lter of tde majority In Knglnml. Scotland and Wales. In a representative government composed of different states , existing under diverse con dition" . tdo prldo of empire , tdu sense of se curity , the feeling of nationality will alwiys combine the united forcent the whole aialnsl the olTort of an v part to violently disrupt flu state. While the ligdt lasts ami tdu fuvor ol nationality Is on tdoy will bo blind and deal to tde just domnnds of tdu dls- sallstlrd members. Tdo necessity o ! tlio dlsaircctud and Injured common- woaltli Is a competent and Incorrupti ble loader and a united and loyal roproionta- tlon In the federal congress. Sued a com mander , with devoted followers , will know no party , except Unit wdlcd iccopnlzus dls de mands , will permit no niiiusn res to oass until the petition of Ills people das been doard and Its prayer answered. Tdls ldu.il leader was Oliarles Stewart Varnoll. Tdu tlino was not yet ripe for this force. Mr. Dopow then recurred to Isaac Uutt nnu his work , nnd said : Ills llglit was within the lines of Ins party , nnd ho never succeeded In convincing Its manaKprs that Iruliin.l dad wrongs to red toss or of touching thorn that coercion was not tdu way to settle Irish < i"osUons and give peace to tde Kmerald isle. Then Mr. Dopow Introduced 1'nrnell Into Ireland's ' nftairs , referring to his coining thus : Idol ol'nii Impulsive People. At the hour when tdu prospect was darkest und tdo Irish were despairing ot their cause , appeared upon the Held a champion wdo pre sented noun of tdu externals of heroism or leadership. No herald trumpeted dls coming : no applause greeted dls arrival. Ills comrades dad not noticed his presence , tdu enemy was not aware of his existence. Ho Muted pub licity. hut wad dostlnnd to be tdu most con spicuous llanru In the umpire , llu disliked to sponk and whenever possible avoided the forum or tdo platform , but do was to ull'eo- .tlvoly volco tdu demands and principles which had taxed the resources of the gioatest orators of a nation justly famed foruloiinunce. Ho was cold in manner , undemonstrative , suit noised , iNiportnrlmblu , neither elated nor depressed , and yut du bouanio tdo Idol of tdo most Imtmlslve of peoples. Hoforrlng coxt to Purnoll's ' course with his colleagues , ttio speaker used those words : Tno weakness ot leaders Is.ln their jealousy of talent HIIIOIIK their followois. Many u cnusu has been Imperilled or lost and many a party driven ! iom power because tdu chief could not endure thupr.tlsu bestowed upon bis lieutenants. I'arnell welcomed ability and gavu Its possussor every opportunity for 'dis tinction. It he had ambitions , older than for his country , they were nnrur apparent. If ho hadllUesor animosities thuv nuvur stood In the way of a useful man occupying his proper placet. Tdu Inspiration willed started dim In hist career and guldod dim in dls work was the motto of the .Manchester martyr , "Uod iiavu Ireland. " Mr. Dcpow followed Parnoll through his work from its Inception , when with only thrco who dnrod to follow ho attacked six bundled nnd odd entrenched in the forms , usages nnd traditions ot centuries , "No measure shall uass until the demands of Iruland aru granted , " was his battle ury. The fear of liutt , tbo shock to the torlos , the indignnttou of the liberals , amnzumunt of the radicals nnd the pnrnlyMs of the speaker of the commons were recalled. The undismayed nnd unrnlllod loader stood with his llttlu band across the paid of public IMUIIIOSS demanding Justice for Ireland , Ho battled tliu statesmen wdo led the houBti of commons for generationi by showing them that tdoy could neither stop nor suspended , nor oxpul , for do was actIng - Ing strictly within their own rules und tlght- in wltb weapons from tdelr own armory. "Then , " said Air. Gladstone , when you show ui that a majority of the member * ( rum Ire land wnnt legislation , we are prepared to listen aim act , " liiNptrcil Un < | iie.stloiul Oliodlunoo. This proposition could not bo satisfactorily annwurt > d. I'arnell believed that tdu ueoplu of Irolund were with him but. ho Knew as did the house that tdolr representatives wore I'tirnoll , Icontlnuod Mr. Depow ) was the iuoat resourceful of men , with nn.lmltud con- Udonco In himself and the ruio fnuulty which Insnlres uimueittloutng ohedlcnco In others. Ilosald to the Irish people , "It you bulluvo In , mo , you must bo ruprrhuntcd In parllame-it by members whu will act with ina and who can neither be misled , nor intimidated nor bought , ( ilvo yourunsuur to Mr , Uludhtonu'H udnllongu. " Tde rospousu has no parallel In the history of the electorate under free L'ovornmctits. It was "soleet yotr | own candidates , Mr. 1'itrncll , and wo will elect thorn. " The perfection of the land league by Par- null end Davltt was next outlined , and the besotting dtmeultlei of non-resident land lordism wui sketched in by Dopow to throw out the achievements of Paruoll In stronger relief. When I'lirnoll entered parliament nt the bead o eighty-thru o out of Itu representatives from Ireltti id. ho bold In ami bund parly power iSaiu the other the Jiouies and tno fortune * of his pcoplo Ho had returned In triump The commoners were Iwwlldorpd.

Mr. Purnoll's confltu nicutnt Kllitmuitmm jnll ntfd his rcloasonpt dls own torins and his triumphant return the ho'iso of commons were recalled , and h defeat of the Gladstone ministry was r viewed.

In the Nebraska district there were U'JI prosecutions of retail liquor dealers und twi for illicit distlllinc and six for violation o the QJcomargiirlno laws. Tmj report devotes conslrtorablo space t < thu sugar bounty question , from which tin following Is taken ns bolnc of special Intoresi to Tin : Bui : ruadors : "Tho bounty granted to tlio manufacturer ; of sugar under the act of October 1 , IS'JO the admission freu of duty of boot sugar ma chinery until July 1 , Ib'JJ , and the encourage ment given by the Department of Agriculture turo In the experiments" the bonollt ol fanners and the aid given by difforonl states , will doubtless 'nnvo the effect of stimulating the Industrj In this country. In 1837 we produced In tills couutrv from the sugar bool 100,1)00 ) pounds of sugar , in 1833 aboutU.OUO.OOt pounds nnd In 18SO nbout 0,000,000 pounds. In Ib'JO ' three factories In this country ( two Ir California and ono In Nebraska ) produced about 8,000,000 pounds. Three addltiona1 factories navu been established during the p.ist year and it is estimated that their pro duction this year will bo nbout i.'i.OOO.OOC pounds. "There woro1,000 acres ot boots planted In Nebraska last year , 3,000 In Utah , 0,000 In California. 1C very licensed producorol sugar from beets , sorghum , or sugar cano is required to provide , at his own expense , n book , In which shall bo entered daily the quantity of material used for the produc tion of sugar , the quantity of juice obtained , and its overage density , the quantity ol syrup purchased and its average density , with nnino und address of persons from whom purchased , the number of hours the mill was In operation , the quantity of sugar in pounds of each grade produced and packed , with thn numoer ana' itind of packages , nnd the serial number of the same ; the quantity of sugar shipped , sold , or removed for storage , consumption or.salo and the name of the per son to whom shipped , sold or disposed of. "If a planter or farmer sells the cano which ho has raised or thn syrup which ho has pro duced , at any period bcforo the manufacture of sugar is completed , ho will have no right to the bounty on the completed product. The party purchasing such cano or syrup and making the sugar will DC entitled to the bounty upon compliance with the requirements of the regulation. If , however , the planter or farmer lakes his cano or syrup to a sugar f jc- tory and has it made into sugar for his own account , retaining ownership nnd Daylng to the factory a toll for the manufacture , ho Is then the sugar producer and outltlou to the bounty. The central Victories which wont svrup Into sugar , on account for other parties who produce the syrup and retain ownership , nro treated and considered us a part of the sugar factory of the llconsod sugar producer and are subject to the same rules and regula tions in regard to notices , books , etc. "Claims for bounty will bo made on spo- ciflo forms nnd presented to the collector of internal revenue , accompanied with the cer tificates of llio inspector and of the weigher for verification. They will bo sent by tbo collector , after certification , to the commis sioner of internal revenue , and if allowed by the commissioner they will bo forwarded to the proper accounting olllcor of the treasury , itaking the usual course of claims unon " the government. After linal allowance , drafts upon the treasury will bo Issued In payment , which will Do mailed or delivered to the ner- sons entitled thereto. " Giving Congress Points. It is Improbable that any man in all of this wide nnd great country has had a moro por- ploxlng time dunnir the past six weeks than President Harrison. Ho has , during that period , boon engaged upon hh annual mes sage to congress. There is no work moro vexatious under or dinary circumstances than that of compiling a presidential message , und under the cir cumstances which have surrounded the pres ident of late , It is the very quintoseonco of vexation. In the llrst place It is necessary to exorcise the greatest pos.slblo cnro ns to necrunoy. Pacts must be stated just so ns to make a misconstruction as nearly Impossible as can bo , and nothing must bo overstated. A point can bo cmptiasi/od too much or it may bo understated. The choicest phraseol ogy Is necessary. History forayoar Is the bails of the work , and good Judgment plays a line uart In the comment. Wisdom is necessary in every recommendation and it must bo put Just so us to not otToud any element. Per sonality of dcslro must bo covered. Politics must not bo Intcrmixcu with statesmanship so as to draw strength from n proposition. The writing of a book Is nothing in compar ison with the construction ot n presidential message , for there is little chanty In the criticism and every word Is analyzed and uy these who seek Haws and desire to break down the objects of the document. While the president has been delving into rouorts from his cabinet ofllcors und treating seine of the most complicated points In diplomacy , ho bus boon almost hourly pre sented with questions of statecr.ift. Ho has had politics from Now York to California to consider ; appointments from special agents and messengers to diplomats and a cnblnot omcori petitions for pur Jens and requests for commutations of sentence to hang men. Ho has had to 'think about and act upon the Chilian complication while trying to wrlto about iutcrnnl taxes or public land laws ; to pass upon reported massacres of missionaries in China and the Caroline Islands whllo penning statements of the liuanco , AVhlle writing upon n delicate potnt in his message be has bad to drop his pan nnd tnlk , upon a dozen different subjects , nil foreign to bis work. Whllo trying to frame a paragraph Upon postal uffnlra , grout panoramas ramas of political complications in various states , Judicial anpolntinonts and wranelnt In tbo forthcoming congress llouted In his vision , forming an abstract but dlz/y part of his thoughts. Old army o nicer 3 who hnvo attempted tn wrlto orders ou the battlefield , whllo dodging bombshells arid hiding from ptukot shots do not rollectupon their task as overcoming In comparison with the work the president has boon doing for six weeks. No sooner has ho gotten down to work upon ono ijuostlon than another lias boon forced upon him. He tins locked one door to his working room only to see another open , a man enter and n dozen sohoraos rlso bcforo tilm. To lock out callers has made him much innoyauco moro than these who have ou his message-working duya , Mondays , been ro- fuscil admission. It lias boon hU experience that when ho has fairly gotten out his memoranda and began to got n point for tbo writing tablet a caller , who wanted to leave in the next train and who carao thousands of miles , maybe , to see him , and who can not , vnlt , Is at the door. To refuse bun admission inder tbo circumstances Is to offend him , and .o admit him Is to take perhaps hours out of : ho work In band. The man who can keep ils good humor aud a continuity of thought jndor these circumstances Is a good ono. Writing a presidential message in campaign .hues is no fun , Inlten at Its best.

Tlio story o tbo drama is too familiar to need oxten'do inontlon , and It will aufllro to say that th performance- in nil respects aii oxccllon entertainment. "Mr. 1'ottor ol'ToviiH. " "Air. Potter ot Texas , " whloh was prc sonted at the Boyd last night by Frank \V Sanger's company , Is not a great play mcas urod by the rules of dramntic art , but It i pcrvndod with the spirit of melodrama ntn appeals to our national variety. Hence , I the hands of a competent company , It is rea sonably sure of nleaslng the ninssca am being a money maker the unthinking crowi will accept that ns the stamp of merit. Joseph Wheolock depicts "Mr. Potter" a a flamboyant westerner such as the news paper wits hnvo pnintod. Some people tain this picture seriously , but they mostly llvi in England. \Vhcolockis an oxubornn American of the typo ho hns chojoi to represent , but the performers uro si subordinated to tbo plot that ho hasn't op portunlty to round out n very well dnllnci character.

" Jeffreys Lowls , the "pretty devil" of "Ocietto" and other French plays , is still n handsome , voluptuous woman. Shu makes a magnilicont tigress on the stage , but in ' 'Lady Sarah" she can only show n wild sort of a she dovil. Her voice Inst night , whether from n cold or ether impiincont , wns strident nnd unresponsive to her de mands ! n Impassioned passages , but she car ried a largo share of the play. Edgar Norton furnishes the comedy ele ment with a rather broad caricature of the Anglo-rnntiiac , but it Is not qulto clear why Cecil Kiugstono should burlesque the Scot land yard detective , whom ho represents. This seems to bo a confirmed habit of Amer ican plays , however , and perhaps ho is not to blnnio. Miurico Drew makes < i manly lover and son and May Unities nn attractive m- gonuo * .
