the late meeting of that organization in
j San Francisco a "pension for every
body" resolution was defeated by the
1 decisive vote of 327 nays to 8G ayes,
i which was simply a reaffirmation of the
vote by the same body of soldiers a year
ago, with thiB difference that the vote
this year against the proposition is larger
and more emphatic than on the previous
occasion. No government in the world
has ever been so liberal and open handed

The three Irish delegates, Messrs.
O'Brien, Deasy and Redmond, selected
by Mr. Farnell to attend the National
Irish League Convention which met at
Chicago on Wednesday last, airived at
New York on Monday morning and left
for Chicago in the evening. Messrs.
Deasy and Redmond are Irish members
of Parliament, but Mr. O'Brien is not,
having been defeated at the recent elec
tion in one of the Ulster districts by
three votes by the Tory candidate.
Tiik venerable widow of James K.
Tolk who was elected President of the

has written a letter to Genera'. C.
II. Grosvenor in favor of securing the
National Encampment of the Grand
Aimy of the Republic in 1887 at Nash

"Before I die I would that mine eyes
should see the grand reunion of my be
loved country in the city where my dear

North encamping in amity where they
once did in anger ; and those who wore

As showing the desperation of the
combatants in the riots at Belfast, Ire
land, a dispatch one day last week said :
"Never did two different religions dis
play a more blood-thirsty desire to kill
or maim each other. During the fight
ing on Sunday and Monday whenever
powder run short viragoes on both sides
took flat irons and other implements and
ground large grains of blasting powder
into a size suitable for 6mall arms, while
boys of tender age melted lead intc bul
lets and slugs. While the rioters were
firing, youths and women stood behind
them busily loading the spare guns In
order to prevent a waste of time. The
fusillade lasted until nine",o'clock Tues
day morning, when the ammunition
gave out and a tacit truce ensued, both
sides removing their dead and wounded
to their homes. Both sides are doing
their utmost to hide their losses."

Vnt Although all the elements of t e
Irish situation combine to fasten inef
faceabiy the stain of blood-guilticess
upon the Orangemen in this wicked
hnsiness there is no lack of loud and
lvine asseverations to the contrary, and
too many of the telegrams despatched
from London to New York newspapers
are palpably Inspired by these false wit
nesses. "We are, therefore, glad to lay
before our readers in another column or
Tke Sun testimony of the greatest
weight touching the true originators of
the hellish scenes or which jseirasi nas
been made the theatre, and to which we
can find a parallel only in the darkest
hours of the Paris reign of terror. This
evidence, which reached us too late for
publication on the day of its transmis
sion, is as timely and decisive now as it
was then, for it emanates from a prelate
of the highest character, the Right Rev,
Patrick McAllister, who. as the Roman
Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Down,
lives close to the heart of the Orange
section, and has the largest opportunities
for caininf exact information
Dr. McAllister confirms every conclu
sion drawn bv Tie Sun from the tele
graphed reports, which, as we have said,
ranuire at all times diligent sifting and
sometimes comnlete rejection. There is
nothing equivocal or qualified about his
statement that the Belfast riots are due
to nothing else but "the incitement of
Orangemen to acts of violence bv the so
called Loyalist press and incendiary iui
mlnations from the platform and the
pulpit." He challenges any one to cite
a recent case of rioting in Belfast where
in the Orangemen have not been the
aggressors, and where the vastly out
numbered Catholics have not been driven
to resistance in order to save their lives
and homes. As an unanswerable proof
of this assertion he points, as we have
pointed, to the fact that Protestants in
strongly Catholic districts have not been
molested. Then, as to the outcry against
the police, the Bishop gives a cogent
reason for the fact, that when they are
forced to fire upon the mob, Orangemen
are the sufferers. Orangemen are hit
because they alone defy authority, the
Catholics at once retiring when ordered
to do so by the constabulary. The Or
angemen are thus defiant because in the
The condition of the corn crop at this
time of the year in the Western States,
the home of that valuable and important
cereal, is always a matter of general in
terest. The very latest reports received
at Chicago from the twelve corn States
including Kentucky and Tennessee,
bring out the following facts : that up
to the 4th of July the general prospects
east of the Missouri were exceptionally
good ; west of the river the corn situa
tion, comprising the States of Kansas
and Nebraska, had been reduced more
or less by dry weather : that ever since
that date the corn has been subjected.
with the exception of portions of Ohio
and Indiana, to such extremes of dry
weather and Intense heat that the gen
eral prospects to-day point to a crop
greatly reduced in quantity and quality.
Rains during last week have been copi
ous throughout nearly the entire corn
growing region and further reduction of
the crop from drought has been ptopped,
but the season is now so far advanced
that no amount of rain can bring the
crop up to more than three-fourths the j past they have wont to count upon
aggregate yield of last year, which
would indicate a crop of about fifteen
hundred millions of bushels Against
this total must still be counted the risk
of frost during the frst two weeks in
September. If this danger is once
passed there will be enough for home
consumption as well as a reasonable
amount for foreign expoit.
The President last week suspeuded
Samuel C. Wirgard. one of the Judges
of the Supreme Court of Washington
Territory, and appointed William G.
Langford in his place. The cause of
Wingard's suspension is not stated. He
is a native of Huntingdon county
practised law here thirty years ago and
is a man of very decided ability. He
removed from this place to Pittsburg and
fmm there to Williamsport. He subse
quently represented Lycoming county
for one term in the Legislature as a Re
pnblican, and refused to vote for Simon
Cameron for the United States Senate.
When he lived here he was a full blooded
Democrat and was a candidate for nom
ination for District Attorney against
Theophilus Heyer when the latter gen
tleman was peeking a renomin-ition. In
1807 he was appointed one of the Justices
of the Supreme Court of Washington
Territory where he has resided ever
since.
" President Cleveland with his
wife, her mother. Mrs. Folsom, his pri- i
vate Secretary, Daniel Lamont, and
Mrs. Lamont, left Washington on Mon- i
day morning last for the Adirondack j
Mountains on the head water so? the j
Hudson River, N. Y., where Mr. Cleve- j
land will spend his summer vacation. j
Mr. Lamont and his wife will leave the ;
party at Albany. Unless something not i
now anticipated should occur the Presi- j
dent will not return to Washington until ,
about the 20th of Septemb r. No former
President has ever done at much hard !
work in his office as Mr. Cleveland. He
keeps on steadily engaged in disposing
of the vast amount of business before
him, and his ability to do so without
breaking down is a matter of general
wonder at Washington. No man better
deserves a brief respite from the toil and
incessant labor which he has devoted to
his high office than the present industri
ous and hard working President of the
United States.
Of the speech of Michael Davitt at a
mass meeting in Chicago on Saturday
last, the New York World says : The
fpeech of Michael Davitt In Chicago on
Saturday was a notable one. It was an
appeal to the Irish in America not to
misjudge the situation following upon
the defeat of the Home Rule Bill and
ciy out for violent measures, but to con
tinue to sustain the Nat !onalist leaders
in the peaceful prosecution of their
cause. He declared that notwithstand
ing the elevatiou of the Tories to power,
Ireland was steadily advancing toward
autonomy. 119 called for patience, for
bearance and unremitting sympathy on
the part of the Irish-Americans. "If
by being satisfied with less than what
satisfies you," he mil, "we become rec
reant to the past history of our country,
then we are quite wMling to bear the
blame." It was very easy, he explained,
to establish an Irish Republic by patri
otic speakers 3,000 miles away from
Ireland, but the operation was rather
more :.fr.f"i at home.

took place two weeks ago, the Democrats I f ange. mjority,

thousand majority. Another general
election will occur in the same State in
Novemder, and it promises to be very
interesting, although a Democratic vic
tory is not doubted. A Governor is to
be elected and the two candidates are
brothers, Alfred A. Taylor being the
Republican nominee and Robert L. Tay
lor the Democratic. Both are good
stump speakers and the Democratic can
didate has served one term in Congress,
defeating a Republican in a strong Re-
! publican district. The district embraces
the mountainous region of the State and
: Taylor, who is an expert with "the
fiddle and the bow," took his musical
instrument along with him during the
campaign and when not engaged in
making speeches to the rough Tennessee
mountaineers, fiddled for them at their
dancing parties, and in that way
changed enough Republican votes to
! beat his opponent. The father of the
, two candidates is Rev. Henry Taylor,
. now well advanced in years, an original
( Henry Clay Whig, and in the political
i oontrsts prior to Lincoln's election in
1?C0 was regarded as perhaps the ablest
stump speaker in Tennessee. The Pro
hibition party of the State want to nom
inate him, if he will accept, as their
j candidate for Governor, and if that is
done the singular and unprecedented
spectacle will be presented of a father
and two of his sons all candidates for
the same office. Before the recent elec
' tion in Tennessee the Republican lead
; ers In the State proclaimed their ability
to carry it as the forerunner of success

State but also in Alabama, has once

the connivance of the police, and they
are rilled with rage because Lord Aber
deen and Mr. Morley, before leaving
Ireland, took precautions to infuse a
more impartial spirit in the guardians of
pubiic order.
Were the present Government of Ire
land and the local authorities of Belfast
inspired by a like determination to mete
out even banded justice to both parties,
it is Dr. McAllister's conviction that
the whole agitation could be speedily
allayed. It would be only necessary, he
says, for the borough magistrates, who
feel themselves to be the creatures of the
to remain at home and
administered by the sti
pendiary magistrates, who are responsi
ble to the imperial government. What
the animus of the local officials is he in
dicates by the significant remark that
the Maor, if he chose to do so, might
certamly induce his own workingmen to
refrain from attacking Catholics. We
may add that be might take measures to
prevent them from supplying themselves
from his own factory yard with deadly
missiles in the shape of iron bolts.
If there be any of our readers in whose
mind remains a doubt as to where the
blame for the Belfast atrocities should
fall, we ask biua to read and ponder the
clear, emphatic statement of an upright
and pious man, who lives where he can
learn the truth, and who performs a
duty in telling it. A". Y. Sun.
A day or two before Congress adjourn
ed a burlesque resolution, incorporating
a political stump speech, was lniroaucea
in the House rjy lion, onanes oimwu
Ttaker. of the Thirtieth New York dis
trict, at the instigation of Tom Reed
and other mad wags on tne Kepuoucan
side.
Mr. Randall very properly objected to
this outbreak of waggery, as neither re
spectful nor decent, and as a proceeding
the like of which he had never knowr in

intended : and this drew from Mi. uan-
dall a still more serious statementof the
results in the way or good legislation
due to the Democratic majority in the
present House. His summary is wortn
reproducing :
Mr. Speaker, we are all about to retoro

ured by them. The results or our actions
will b carefnlly scanned, and the elections

"We have entereJ upon the work of con-

We have not In a single Instance, so far as I
remember, passed through this nonsc a bill

the Senate an opportunity to join with us in
passing an inter-State Commerce bill which
only forty men on the other side dared vote
against. But for the delay Involved In the
nreaent proceeding on the part of gentlemen
on the other side, we should probably have
reached an opportunity of passing a bill to
Increase the pensions of one-armed and one

"Finally, I say deliberately that the appro

are, so far as 1 know, freer from suspicions
or unnecessary propositions than they have
been in any Congress since the war, whether
this remark applies to the appropriations
reported from the committees over which I
have the honor to preside or those emanating
from the other committees having charge of
appropriation bills Whatever may be the
result of the next election, I venture to say
we have done so well that we ought to com

is due in a large degree to the confidence

ocratic Executive in the direction of good

people." Applause.
This statement , coming from the Dem
ocrat who has contended so persistently
for honest and economical government,
not only at the late session, but also at
every session for the past twenty-three
years, is deserving of the most respect

In Mexico for an act done in Texas, de
manded that he should be delivered up
and asked that Congress should support
his demand by a resolution on the sub
ject. The first dispatches from El Paso,
Texas, all asserted that the libelous
article had been published by Cutting in
the United States, and upon this infor
mation Mr. Bayard made his demand.
Later advices and especially the opinion
of the Judge before whom Cutting was
tried, make it appear that the libel of
Cutting upon Medina was first published
in Mexico and that Cutting retracted it.
He then crossed over the Rio Grande
into Texas, republished the libel, aud
returned to Mexico bringing with him
his paper containing the libel for distri
bution, and that the paper was circulated
on the Mexican side of the river. If
this statement Is correct it alters the
case very materially. In order to ascer
tain the exact truth of the whole busi
ness Mr. Bayard bai appointed A. G.
Sedgwick, of New York, as a special
commissioner to proceed to Ei Paso and
thence to Chihuahua, the capital of the
Mexican State of the same name, where
Cutting's case is now pending upon an
appeal to the Supreme Court. This
course has been resolved upon by Mr.

The payment of taxes under the new
3-mill levy is uow about completed. As
Auditor General Niles and some otter
officials still affect to regard that ex
tremely complicated special assessment
as a passably bright piece of business, it
may be well to look at the results. To
start with, a very high degree of intelli
gence was required upon the part of the
citizen in order to be able to make a re
turn under the act without on the one
hand committing technical perjury thro'
its confused prescriptions, or on the
other making a return of more than was
intended to be assessed. As one of the
first consequences, a great many, if not
a majority, made do return. Of those
who did there were numbers who could
not be certain whether they bad exactly
filled the bill as was desired. Those who
ignored the act wholly had their person
al property guessed by the Assessors, and
50 per cent, added by the Commission
ers. According as these guesses were
shrewd or not, equality or inequality of
taxation was insured. Considering that
the amount of an individual's personal
property affords, in most cases, the wi
dest latitude for speculation, and Dot
taking into account the mood of each of
the several hundred Assessors, the state
of the temper and digestion of each at
the particular moment of assessing every
individual, it can be seen at a glance
that there was liable to result about as
much of an approach to accuracy as in
betting upon a base-ball game or making
predictions of the weafier.
In a collective way the injustice and
inoperativeness of the tax are best shown
by the fact that the total of personal
property In Allegheny county that was
assessed under the 3 mill law was seven-teen-odd
million dollars. This included
what was voluntarily returned and what
was guessed at, Yet, by other and more
exact processes of determining the per
sonal wealth owned in the county, the
sum supposed to be actually liable to the
assessment was about $117,000,000, iu
place of 517,000,000. It follows that
only one-sixth of the whole personal
property paid the tax. It is not surpri
sing to larn further that one wealthy
citizen who could not understand the
requirements of the act, was so returned
by the Assessors that be bad to pay upon
one-fourteenth of the whole amount
assessed upon the county. Mr. Thaw,
who enjoyed the distinction, is no doubt
veiy rich, but assuredly not, by any
means, in anything like that proportion
ate degree to all the rest of the commu
nity, including the long list of other
local millionaires.
Property taxation is always a difficult j
matter. The great object should be the j
securing of equality, propoitioned to i
means ; but any system that depends
for the most part upon voluntary returns
or Assessors' estimates of the invisible !
but suspected is sure to work out un
equally. Added to that the terms of the
3-mill tax statute are hopelessly wanting
in clearness. It is not the Assessors nor
the Commissioners who are to be blamed
for the failure of the 3 mill act, but the
principle and provisions of the act itself
which are incapable of just and satis
factory application. That it should be
repealed at the next session of the Leg
lsiature, with some
The Philadelphia Press avows that

The Pre. leaves its readers somewhat
in doubt as to whom it holds responsible
for these blunders. If to them was due
the defeat of Blaine there is no one to
blame but himself ; and if his party re
grets his defeat It should hold him to
deserved accountability for the result.

Extent of a Three-Inch Rainfall.
Few people have any ide of the ex
tent of a two or three-inch rainfall, and
a great many think it doesn't amount to
much. They have often seen the water
six inches deep in a gutter or a foot deep
In a cellar, so that a little three inch
shower is looked upon as a veiy insignif
icant affair. Let's look at the figures a
moment. By an easy mathematical
calculation it may be demonstrated that
a rainfall of three inches, or rather of
thrc-e and a-quarter inches, as now offi
cially reported for a recent storm, is
equivalent to about 88.250 gallon to the
sqnare acre, or 56,4t0,000 gallons to the
aquare mile enough to fill 1,412,000
forty gallon barrels. Estimating the
weight of this enormous rainfall at the
old accepted rate of a pint to a pound,
we find it to be 223,920 tons, or almost
three timps the weight of the Washing
ton Monument. This to a single sqnare
mile, remember. Those who may feel
a further interest in the matter can,
without great difficulty, approximate
the number of tons and barrels of water
which fell in the ten miles square of the
original District of Columbia, and before
they get through ciphering they will
come to the conclusion that a three and
a-quarter Inch rainfall is a decidedly wet
and an amazingly heavy one. The Pro
hibitionists may certainly conclude that
Providence is on their side. Washington

Sared II In Life.
One day last week, a Xenia, O., young
man waa in Dtyton on business, and, while
standing on Third street bridge, amused
himself winking at the factory girls as they
passed on their way home. It was fun for
him, until a little ''sawed off" German girl
passed, when he winked at ber and said,
nello, Dutchy." "Vofs dot?" she said,
and handing her dinner basket tn her little
sister, grappled with him, and Into the canal
that Xenia dude went ker plunk.
There Is great excitement at Logan sport,
Ind., over the forcible abduction and prob
able morder of Miss Lnella Mabltt. Last
week Amos Green, a rejected suitor for Miss
to the
borne of the young woman seized the young
woman forcibly, placed her In the vehicle
and carried ber off. Green returned to bis
home next morning., turned his horse loose
and disappeared. Miss M. has not been seen
since the nigbt of the abduction, and as
Green bad threatened to take her life, it is
believed that she has been m ordered.
(ieneral Christopher C. Augur, on the
retired list of the army, was shot and
wounded fonr times in front of his residence
in Washington, by a colored rough named
William Pope, about 1 o'clock Sunday
morning. i ope ana anotner reiiow were
using indecent language in front of the
general's house, and he opened the door and
ordered them away. A volley of coarse ep-
itnets was the reply, wben the general
struck Pope on the head with a light cane,
1'ope then drew a pistol and fired. The
general's wounds are not consideren dan
gerons.
iunaio tsui is tne claimant r r property
valued at f 15.000,000 situated In ine heart of
Cleveland There are 400 defendents to the
suit, including Mi. McAndrews, of the
Standard Oil Company, who built a magnifi
cent mansion, whici is placed half on the
ground claimed claimed by Cody. Joe Jef
ferson also has a mansion on the grounds.
The suit is pending in the United States
Courts. Cody's grandfather bought 167
acres of land which a son deeded to Dutside
parties, forging. It is charged, his father's
signature. Officers of compromise have
been made but declined by Mr. Cody,
The Rome correspondent of the London
Standard savs that the alarming reports
about the Pope are without foundation,
Leo XIII has occupied the Papal cbalr a
little more than eight years, having been
elected to it at the ripe age of 68. after the
death of Plus IX. The latter reached the
age of 86, and bad been at tne head of the
Roman Catholic church thirty-two years,
the longest pontificate in history. The
Holy Father suffers from an affliction of
tne madder, the result of bis long confine-
in the Vatican, but his maladv.
though grave, causes no more alarm to-day
than It did a month ago.
