among the let. All Hhaden uml colors urn
lliuie scarlet, blue, pluk, red, canary,
mottled black and wlilte, and there were
goine Biilpe anil plmera among them. The
theory Is that they were mlgratnry Hecks
going front neutli te north, and were attracted
by the great light, which killed thorn the
moment they touched It. There waaacount waaaceunt
less number cl them enough te trim all the
ladies hats In Illinois. Many people were lit

at this sUgoel such a contest
When the stiioke lined from the Held en
Monday evening It was plainly te be seen
that tlie .Sumnij -Weaver men seomed te be
the bhtter satisfied with the day's work. ThU
may tie ascribed te tlie fact of thelr niore
Inieyant disposition unci It may be owing te
the clrcumstance that recently hating less
hope they are unduly exhilarated by their
brighter prospects.
A IVMll IM St MVtVITi:.
One et the leadors of tlie Summy combina
tion thus oxpressod the views of his side and
Its hopes of success : " Thn declaration of
Quay rer Summy has turned the Northern
senatorial light upside down. Heperts re
ceived Irem etery district glve Suintny's
friends great encour.igemont. 11 nppears that
otery township worker who has lieen en the

tegether in trio Nerthern district from the
ConewBgo te the Chester county line ; Steh
111111 hxs been traveling through the North

said (Juny was for him. Quay's declaration
that he Is for Summy shows that Stehm.in
lias been deliberately lying and it Is new re
acting against him."
Anether gentleman luUiocniiIUlence of the
Marletla aspirant says that,whlle il was under

except te counteract Stelnnan's beasts te the

It Is admitted ou both sldei that Steliiiiau's

At the illllerenl political centres nothing elm
Is talked about, The speech Is recognized
by overy ene ns a model of shrewd argument
and compact logic It has made ene thing
very clear, namely, that Mr. (Jladstone will
eventually con sent te Reme mode of Irish
representation at Westminster, some form e
Joint commission or some ether device which
will satlsrya sufficient number or the mal
contents, rather thau allow the bill te be de
feated. Shrewdly enough the hints of audi
a policy made by Mr. Oladatoue vrere
ceuched In such langunge that they could uet
be said te be refcrable In any degree te Mr.
Chamberlain's demanda or threats.
Onee again the premier has wen back the
hulk of Mr. Chamberlaln'H followers without
once referring te the discrewned king of the
caucus. Mr. Chamherlalti is, of course, htllt
dlssatlsfied, because he Is aiming nt personal
aggrandizement and really rares nothing for
thomerlusorthelilll. It Is stnted Hint he la
new maturing a new schome of opposition le
the bill. It is eald that he proposes setting
up n llttle Parliament for Ulsler which shall
have no allegiance te the general Irish Parlia
ment The scheme Is an obvious absurdity,
but whalover Mr. Chamberlain may say or
de Is dally becoming of less Importnnce or
interest le anyenu hut lilmself. ir Mr.
Chamberlain puts himself forward new ns
the champion of Ulster, it is doubtful If he
would be accepted liy the ristermen. Ue
would nt nil e vents be looked upon as an
eleventh hour recruit in comparison xvlth
the men who have for weeka been furnishing
rliles, accoutrements and drill masters le
propare the Nerthmen ler civil war. Ilia
lack of military knewledge would otcrcemo
the sympathy which might he full for hi in

ruinous conduct of his own campaign would
hardly Induce the ristermen te favor him as
