O'Connor and yourself on "1 he Great Irish Struggle," which I. will carry home with nieArfd reaU carefully at lny leisure. As jet -I Jiqye Only glanced over it sufficiently to learn that it contains a mass of information deeply Interesting to every American. . The preface by Dr. Hums expresses in few sentences the lew taken by intelligent Americans of the movement for Home Rule In Ireland. There Is a profound and gen eral sympathy among my countrymen In favor of this movement, and the universal hope is, that by peaceful and earnest efforts the British Parliament will be Induced to Crant to Jlie, people of Ireland the Inesllm able benefit" of Home Rule in focal affairs. This Is not confined to Irishmen In America, or to the descendants of Irishmen, but IS fully shared by the descendants of Englishmen, and especially by those whose ancestors for more than two centuilcs have been Americans by birth. Nor does this feeling arise from any desire to weaken or cilpple the power of the Ilrltlsb Empire. While this power has been often exercised without due regard to the rights of other nations, yet we know that the general results of this domination, to which the Irish people have contributed their full part, have been he most potent agency in advancing the civilization and progress of mankind. As Americans we ihare In the glory of llrlllsh achievements and power, and be lieve that with Home Rule Ireland will not only ciiase tu be discontented, bat will be able to contilbute a still greater than to the boasted powerof the III i l i sit Empire ior noes our sympathy arise Horn any affinities on'ticcotml of religious crtvJs oi tests. A greater proportion of the Aiuci can people aro Protestants, complied will Catholics, than are the Protestants ot Great Britain, compared with Catholics; but we have long since learned that fieedom of religious worship Is .the sacred right of every citizen-too tai'icd'tb be controlled by the law s of the State or nation. Our sympathy Is fomnttd Upon the ex perience of a hundred jprs, that a treat population cannot be lield in peaceful and happy relation by central authority alone, but that each community must have local autonomy, with power to pass local laws suited to Its wants, its habits, and even its prejudices, leaving to central, or national authoilty the great powers essential to empiie. We carry our tlivlilonit of local autonomy to school districts, to townships, to cities and count Ins, each with clearly defined but limited authority, but rcitfer upon States ard tho nation broader K)vcr and juris diction. It is only by such a division of power that freedom, lulls true sense, can be enjoyed by" any populous and extended country. Great llrltaln has recognized this (jteat principle of human government In every step of Its wondciful progress towards free Institutions, from the days of Magna Charts, the birth of Its national Ireedotu, lo its present liberal government fourded upon general suffrage. Sne has extended the principle of llonia Rule to the Dominion f Canada and Australia, and ages ago she javelo3.il autonomy with liberal franchises to tier cities ami counties, ami even to guilds of tradesmen and uiecharlcs. It Is this autonomy, or local nil with powers suitable to the conditions and wants f Ireland, (hat tho people of that Uland ant, and such powers ata not only con. ffslcnt with, but wlil advancs the glory nd power of the Emplic.

HcAlth, and re tires In dlsgiaee from tho public service. If there is a man In the State of New York who rejoices in his downfall, guilty or not guilty, I am not that man. If innocent, his persecution and disastrous surroundings have been most pitiful. If guilty. It only goes to make the whole structureof society mora l.nsccute and to shake our faith In our common kind. Five years ago and there rra3 not a man In the State of New York who onjoyed a prouder position or a greater degree of pub lie confidence than he. For many years lir was at tho head of our National Guard, the great central (lgtiro In all public celebra tions and par.iJcs, and in the Innermost circles of our most exeluslvcsoci.il life no man was more welcome. Those who knew htm best regarded him a3 the very sonl of honor; his word would be taken by those best acquainted with him as soon us an or dinary man's bond. He. was appointed to his present office by a political party op posed to him, and up to the time of his ac cusation was supposed to have served lb city well. To accuse such a man of such a dastardly offence as bribery struck the en tire elty llko an electric shock. Some. arm ory sites hail to be purchased and General Shaler, by virtue of his position, was chair man of the Armory Hoard; in fact, he was the Armory Hoard himself, for whatever he recommended as necessary for the good of the National Guard was acceded to, with out question, by the other members. A gentleman had a piece of land for sale for which he asked a certain price. A middle man appeared upon the scene who was sup posed to have a big pull with the Armor) Hoard, and at his suggestion many thous and dollars were added to the original price and it Is now alleged that this money, of which the city was phinileied, was divided between. General Shaler and his friend; at least it was shown on the trial that this convenient friend paid off a mortgage on ucncr.il Sbaler's properly In New Jersey about tht, tlmo that the armory sites were paid for,, and that this convenient person had received no other consideration for the sixteen thousand dollars paid but loye and friendship. 'In this mercenary age there are not many such friends, and whei It came to the tilal, to save himself from Stales I'rlson. this testified against General Shaler. Testimony of this kind is always to he taken with allowance; but such rot teniiess was found prevailing every public department that the people were shocked with the revelation and even the semblance of guilt on the part on tho of a man like General shaler was tho last feather to lircak the camel's back. What a record for a "great city'llke New fork. Its tprmer Mayor accused of ques tionable jobbery with the notorious rascal Ferdinand Waid; a sheriff a fugitive from justice; almost the entire Hoard of Alder men with States Prison staring them in the face and three secure behind prison bars; the Commissioner of Public Works driven from the ofllcc ho never should have held, by the edict of tho Governor, and now General Shaler driven out by the same au thority. Where shall wo look for confi dence? Where can we put our faith? The proud old soldier, w ho for years has occu pled so large a place In the public eye. uisappcars from our daily life to be honored no more among men. The journey be tween this terrible sentence and the grave win ho a weary one for him. His great name smirched and blackened; his honor, won on the battle fields of his country, viuuui'u, ii.s uope gone, no nas been ac cused of ci line, twice tried but ncsercon Vlete.l, but this condemnation by the Gov ernor crushes him forever. God pity him In his deep nilllellon. and as I said at first, if any rejoico in his downfall I am not of the number. ibis week brousht to grief a couple of swindlers, bold Brlntons, who have been preulng on the credulity of their American cousins, and who have succeeded In reliev ing hem of sundry ducats and guilders, ibe auroiiiit unknown. As everybody knows thcie is scarcely a family In the United Stales from Maine to California but has definite Information of some rich English ancestor who died in Timbuctoo or the Klekeryboo Islands in the year UUI1 leav ing Feudal lacs of rupees all of which were deposited In tho Hank of England diawing scventccn'per cent., and the principal and Interest In tho Smith family alone amount ed to about a thousand millions pounds, "bile the money left by Sir Edward Lord, high Admiral Hrown In 1700, auioimted to a thousand millions more. It was a bis thing for the Smiths and tho Hrotvns be cause they were all directly related and could trace their relationship back to their common ancestors. John Smith and Sir Edward Drown. Now I have personally known that there was an Immense fortune awaiting mo III Europe and I have aston ished my friends by my InJIlTcrence in not going after It. The Hritlsh-Aiuerlca Claim Agency was established here almost a year ago by a couple of distinguished looking Urlittons, one of whom I havo seen drift ing about the town fur jears. He looked like an English nobleman jiud I must do him the credit to say (swindler as he was), a more gentlemanly person I would not wish to know. In dress he was the pink of neatness, and was to all Intents and pur poses a gentleman as gentleman go. I never knew huii to do anything for a living and supposed he was a man of fortune. Late last fall I received a circular Inform ing me that there was wealth In store for we In Engjand which had been foolishly oscrlooked by several of my grandfathers, so I called at the magnificent offices of the Ilrltlsb Claim Association. I was received by tho President lu person, altera brief In terview with a very pietty type writer, and there was comelhing exceedingly tlmmtny about the whole affair, I wormed out of the sly dog the Intelligence that I was the probable heir to a million If there were no other claimants, but as the entire tribe arc all dead but mc, I .knew In a minute that all the vast property was mine. I told the man so and he agreed with me but I could procure more definite Information from a little book which only cost the modest little sum oj two dollars not much for a man who was going lo pull In a million, but I told him I did not have tho change. He. said that made no difference and he for warded the book, and bill to my houso bj mall, with a small bill of three dollars for searching for my noble ancestor who left mo all the money. Thereupon I wrote to the President of the Brltlsh-AmerlcanClalm Agency that I returned his book and re linquished all my claims to my ancestral gelt In his behalf, only making one condi tion, however, and that was, that when he got It he should invest one half of It in some great public charity linked with my name that I might descend to posterity as a benefactor of my race. I heard no more from the British Claim Agency till they wero brought .up in jail this week. I am too old a blr, I trust, to be caught by such chaff,- but I gave them a first class notice for which 1 made no charge. It is aston ishing how many people were taken In by this, bald-faced swindle, which, when the ollice was raided and the swindlers caged, was netting a clean two thousand dollars a week. It seems almost useless to warn the pub lic agalhst this sort of thing. As long as there, are men and women . in this world who believe that the city Is filled with char itable Individuals, who sell gold watches for fifty cents, and Weber pianos for two dollars and a half, such swindlers as the British-American Claim Agency will thrive. Tho Legislative Investigation Into the Municipal rottencss of Brooklyn, has un earthed somo startling facts. Several of the offices In that pious city are worth mure than tho Presidency of the United Stales. After an administration of three years, the Sheriff, County Clerk, Register and a number of other ofiiccrs would thluk themselves bably off If they retired with less than a hundred thousand dollars. The present sheriff, though an excellent fire man, can barely wrlto his name and It Is safe to say that a sum In multiplication or short dlylslon, would throw him Into a gal loping consumption. The McLaughlins ate the real kings of Brooklyn, as Kelly was In New York, as Doyle was In Pioyi deuce, and O'Hrlan In Boston. Hugh Mc Laughlin, though not elected by the people, is the real sheriff, and Mr. Farley the sheriff Is the actual deputy. Mr. Mc Laughlin divides the fees and gives the sheriff whatever he thinks just. Last year It was a mere bag of nails, only $57,000. The question are, what became of all this money? and It is pretty evident that it Is simply an immense corruption fund, used without secrecy or shame In debauching our elections, Mr. Ivlns puts the corrup tion fund of New York at $730,000, and this tells the story of the Clcarys, the Me Cabcs, the Duffy's and tho Waltes. The cry of fire at night In a crowded city or an earthquake shock would scarcely have produced more consternation and alarm than the announcement that Beech er the great Heecher, was dying, 'fhe death of no man In all this land, since the death of the great soldier who passed away at Mount McGregor almost two years ago, has created so profound a; sensation. It Is not whether we consider hlui politically or religiously right or wrong, but he stood out among the millions of his countrymen as tho grandest rcDresenatlre American of his time. Ills prayer was heanl that he might fall lu his harness and bo cut off in the midst of his work; for this grand old soldier of the cross did not fear to die, he only feared to live to bo a burden to those he loved and who were bound to him with love unutterable. Few lives In all the centuries more mark ed or brilliant than his. Rcred in the midst of tho sternest Galvanism, by the fore of his own genius, and the universal love of his kind, he worked his way Into the fullest light of the broadest and most liberal Christianity. The man who sent rifles to old John Brown lived to see Kan sas no longer a. bloody battle ground, but redeemed and free, one of tho most pros crous States In the American Union. The bitter and unrelenting foe of human slavery, he lived long enough to, see the authoress ot Uncle Tom's Cabin the honored Inhabi tant of r once slave State and himself re ceived with open arms through all that southern land. In his boyhood hardly a New England pulpit dared raise its voice against slavery, and It was then that the Indignant cry of the Quaker poet Whlttler was heard: How long, oil Lord, how long Shall such a priesthood tarter truth away; And hi defence of robbery and wrong At thluc own altars pray. That cry was caught up In Plymouth pul pit and It rang through the land till It saw mlshty armies marshelled In tho field, and felt the earth tremble with the tread of millions of armed men. Tho soiroCv has been universal and even tho elements have been in unison with the general grief. No words of eulogy that I can glvo can add to the glory of this matchless life. "Hut other hands than mine shall wrcatho The laurel round thy brow, And men shall learn to speak ot thee As one of earth's proud sphlts, born With that strong majesty ot soul That knew no color, race or eltine, nut which hath spurned the base control Of t)ruiits for all time."

Tho moiiontony of State Legislation Is relieved occasionally by a little cio3j ques tioning duilng debate or when a country member wants to say something and don't know exactly what it is and consequently gets muddled in his rsatden effort at ora lary, thereby furnishing a hearty laugh for his colleagues. I remember at one session of i he Legislature in yo olden days, shortly after the commencement of law-making In the present Capitol, how a country uem ber, in all the sweet, guileless Innocence, so notlcable In the honorable gentlemen serv ing their country In the capacity of law makers for the first time, had something to say; and say It he did with a vengence, while the whole legislative body was con vulsed with laughter. He presented his bill, taring that It was the first tlmo he had ever been a member of the Legislature and he hoped that the older members would en courage jouth ami Innocence by the Im mediate passage of tho particular measure. I it would also show bis constituents that h ' was awake lo their best interests and the present and future welfare of lilt district. It ll not nMtlurv In ftfiftlia, II.

I havo nothing to say of the Knights of, Labor as an or ganization, or us a body of men united for the purpose of resisting undue and heavy oppression at the hands of monopoly, rather I look upon It as representing one of the lihcitlcs of our American continent, that men of all class and color dare organ ize as they have done for the protection of each other's interests; but I do look upon the policy pursued by some of the. leaders as false, delusive and a snare. Where men are organized for the purpose of resisting wrong inflicted by capital, that wrong: should bo resisted bravely ond manfully hs well as openly and above board and not by low, insidious means, which reflect only contempt upon the promulgators, The leader of an organization who ordcrsdils followers out on a strike during the dead of winter Is'a traitor to tlie cause of laborand an enemy to tlie toilers of the land. A, boycott or strike has never.becn known to yield a dividend, that Is, not to tho work iagnien, but it pours Its profits' Into the coffers of the capitalist, and .the latter, .in dividual smiles a sweet sniilo oj.'.cpnip'nt',' and gently prays .that the stride, .gon., The K. of L. representative who would In troduce a law preyentlng strikes and boy cotts could make for himself a namo which would live In posterity. I have been studying the character of some of tho rep resentatives, of Knight of Labor persua sion, and while some of them are physical ly and Intellectually the peers of old time members, there Is a timidity on their part In matters of legislation for which I cannot account, unless It be the cottnggliug for a second teim and the $1500 which conies with It. Matilda nindman delivered an address on lloraan Suffrage In the hall of the House Wednesday night that drew a laree audience. The lady mado a forclblo argu ment, but failed to convlnco many of the members, who toward the close at her re quest began to fire Interrogations at the lecturer. Miss Rachel Foster, of Philadel phia, a yoiing.pctltc and attractive suffrag ist, aided Miss Ilindman In answering tin difficult questions put by the members, She held her own with a good deal of tact and logic. When on the subject of repre sentation she was told by one of the Rep resentatives mat "some unknown man voted for her somewhere In the Commoiii wealth." Sho leplled with animation and wit, "where Is that unknown man? Show him to mel I wish to give him my tax receipts." Miss Foster, who Is as blight as she is comely, Is the daughter of the late J. Heron Foster, of Pittsburg, one of the most versatile journalists of his day and long a power in the west end of the State. Senator Harlan, of Chester county, very gallantly presided over the entertainment Wednesday night. Among the changes In the revenue act of 1885 are the sections doing away with th las on household furniture, watches, car riages and gold and silver plate, and that diverting one-half of the net revenue to the counties. The latter section was a sop to the agricultural sections, which, under flip lead of the Statu Grange, has for sometime beer, fulminating addresses aga;nst tho In equalities of the revenue acts and com plaining that real estate has borne far more" than its just share of taxation. The act of 1885 garnered all the fruit of the new meth od of collection into the State coffers; the present act turns over, ostensibly as tho cost of collection, one-half the net sum paid In to the State to the several counties, but' really as an appropriation to them. It must greatly relieve local taxation and If there ba added to It, as most probably will be done when the license bill passes, a part of this tax collected, the local governments will fare very well.
