It spread rapidly all over my body and got under my nails. The testes would drop off ot me all tbe time, and ray suffering endless, and without reUef.

One thousand dollars would not tempt me to bave this disease oier again. I am a poor man, but I feel rieb to be relieved cf what some of the doctors said wu leprosy, some ring worm, psoriasis, etc. I took and Barsaparillas over one year and a ball, but no cure. I weat to two or three doctors, and no cure. I can not praise the Cutlcura Remedies too mach.

Co if iters villi, June 2. Gas well No. 2 was fchot to-night and a steady blaze fifteen feet high is now A caeefcl poll of the Illinois just after the delivery of Senator Sherman's recent speech, showed the preference of members for the next candidate of tbe Republican party for President to be as follows: 40; Sherman, 19. Hon. Bati ess W.

IIanna, United States Mir.ister to the Argentine UepubHc, hts arrived home in Crawfordaville on a leave of absence. He finds his son John on his death bed. Mr. Hanna has the sympathy of his hosts of friends his bereavement. Gr.EsriAM has again overrule Judge Woods, this time In the well-kmwn "stallion" canes.

In hi opinion. Justice Harlan, of the Supreme Court, concurring, Judge Grcsham holds that stock imported into this country must pay ad valorem duty to the Government unless the owners make affidavit that tbe animals are to be used for breeding purposes and not lor speculative sales. This decision is very important to dealers in live stock. The animals, in the present instance, were English draft horses, and the owners claimed that as they were adapted to breed ing purposes they should not be required to pay duty. Judge Gresham holds that it i not a question of adaptability, but of intent on the part of the owners.

The following very absurd dispatch from Indianapolis appears in a Cincinnati paper: It has just leaked out that the journal clerks ot the last session have perpetrated a forgery to make it appear that the House, by a message to the Senate, delivered on the last day of the session, recognized that body and Green Smith as the President thereof. This fact was called tn the attention, to-day, of W. H. Smith. Clerk of the House, who at one pronounced the message a forgery.

Tbe message pretends to announce that the Speaker of the House had on that day signed a certain enrolled act, when tbe fact is the act was signed by the presiding officers of both houses and sent to the Governor on the 16th of January, and became a law on the 21at day of that south, more than six weeks before the pretended message was delivered to the Senate. The old question Immediately occurs: If the Speaker of the House could act with the President of the Senat on the ICth of January, why couldn't he to act every day of the session? That Is the ugly question the Republican obstructionists will have to meet in the next campaign. Dzmocbact and ignorance go hand In Sherman at Springfield, Iii. Mr. Sherman usee phrases like the foregoing when in a Republican bailiwick and believing that no Democrats are within earshot.

The converse of the proposition ii, we presume, according to Mr. Sherman'i way oi thinking, that Republicanism and purity go hand in band. Mr. Sherman La ndently in his dotage, and can only mouth phrases suggested by partisanship run to seed. The vast majority of the tninking.

intelligent men of the country are Democrats, and Mr. Sherman knows it. It is purely a matter of simple figuring. Mr. Sherman's phrase is an echo of Brother Bnrchard's, and will return to plague hint as Mr.

Blaine was plagued. He can not induce tie people to forget the rascalities of the Republican party because of which it was summarily ousted from office. The Republican party is still the party of Dor-sey and Robeson. Its present pillars are the same men who made the party so odious that the people could endure it no longer. Mr.

Sherman, if he should be nominated for President, will rely upon the methods of Dorsey to secure his election, and probably summon Dorsey himself to his aid. The Democratic party has built a great many more school-houses than the Republican party, and tbe prosperity of the country to-day Is largely due to the fact that the administration is Democratic Reforms never go backward, and the Republican parts, which was reformed out of power, will never be successful again until it has given the people some reason to trust it in office. Mr. Sherman's speeches are but little more than a wail and a plea a wail for the vanished glory of his party and a plea for alms. The party is exactly In the position of a street-beggar it asks favors because of its own distresses, expecting to get something fc nothing.

Mr. Sherman is himself ignorant, indeed, if he thinks the Republican party can win on that policy. THE CHURCH AND THE LAW. A resolution was passed at one of the many religious assemblages which have been held during the past week, urging the enforcement oi certain social reforms by the strong arm of the law. From our point of view, it is difficult to see why the church should invoke the aid of the law In its work of uprooting the abuses from which society Buffers.

Pride, if nothing else, should make the church loth to abdicate any of its functions or confess to inability by seeking other resources than those which it enjoys exclusively. The church is nothing if not militant, and its Bphere is very clearly defined. The clergyman is not a sheriff, nor is the sheriff a pastor. Their duties are distinct, and they have nothing whatever in common. It is the duty of the minister to preach the Gospel and to persuade sinners to turn from the error of their ways.

It is his function to improve the morals of the community in which he moves by inducing men to forego eyil works. It is for the sheriff to bring to punishment. When the clergyman seeks to better men and to rid the social body of disease by operating through the sheriff, he renders himself liable to the charge that he is unfitted for the position he holds, or renders the church of which he is an apostle liable to the charge that it has confessed to incompetence. Tbe church is discredited whenever its ministers call upon the sheriff to work out those reforms which have been divinely intrusted to the church. It should, on the other hand, jealously cling to its legitimate functions.

Otherwise the church becomes purely an ornamental institution of no serious Import. It should lay claim to all-sufficiency within its jurisdiction, and delegate to no outside instrumentality any rlgnt or function or privilege which belongs to it. The resolution to which we have referred dealt with the temperance question. The church is entirely competent to solve this great problem in the very beat way conceivable without calling npen the sheriff to undertake tbe work of reform. But by turning tbe matter over to the Legislatures and the courts, it practically acknowledges that It is without potentiality.

It is just such actions as this on the part of ministers of the gospel that cause Mr. Ingersoll to smile. A RIALTO NEEDED. Tbe business men of Indianapolis need a meeting place. In other cities we find clubs or restaurants cr exchanges, at which each man sees his fellows of the street at least once a day.

From this daily attrition great benefit comes to all. The business life of a community should have the social feature a part of it. Otherwise it will be lacking in unification. Fjr this retson the Sentinel has founded the Mercantile Club. The debates tbat have occurred at tbe meetings of that interesting organization have been of good effect as we have every reason to believe.

All business men have common in terests, despite the rivalries of trade, and it is quite essential, in order that those common interests may not be sacrificed for want of proper attention, that they should occasionally touch elbows. Selfish ness and pettiness largely disappear under the influence: of neighborly association. The banker should meet his customers eis' where than in his own office, and the mer cbaat and the manufacturer should be thrown together now and then when bargsins are not in question. Such inter course develops a spirit of comradeship that adds a great charm fxcommercial life, and prevents men from living wholly within themselves. There ought to be a great deal more of this sort of thing in In dianapolis than there is.

Just at this time the business men need to be much to gether to discuss the important problems in which they are all deeply interested and upon the solution of which the city's wel fare so largely depends. Club life of some kind is essential in every large city. Other wise men lose sight of one another. There are many cities not so large as Indian apolia where much attention is devoti to 'the maintenance of meeting-places to which, for an hour a day, business men re sort to look into each other's faces. Some times it is a club, sometimes a luncheon around merely.

The very Informality of the gatherings breeds good-fellowship, the fruit of which is seen in the elevation of the general commercial tone and in the facilitation of all enterprises contributing to the public welfare. HENRY GEORGE IN POLITICS. Henry George has certainly weakened himself br becoming an office-seeker. As tha author of a theory of political econ omy be stood very high in the eetimatien of economists, and his Writings wer in great demand everywhere. The people had come to look upon bira as Invested with tha charm of that peculiar dignity which marks the earnest philosopher, and he wielded an in fluence which had been steadily increasing s'nee the first issue of "Progress and Poverty." But now that he has become, not only an active factor in poll-tics, but an active office-seeker, he is losing much of his potentiality as a doctrinaire.

We do not believe that William Lloyd Garrison, for example, would have exercised nearly so much influence in his day and generation if he had sought office as a means of propagating Abolitionism. It seemed peculiarly fitting that he should remain in the attitude of an eloquent promoter of a political doctrine, keeping aloof from candidatures. It was for him to make candidates, not to be one. By pursuing this course he kept himself free from the suspicion of selfish interest, and he was thereby able to give more force to his great cause. So in the case of Henry George.

It is not for him to participate in nominating conventions as an aspirant for honors. It is his part, If he would serve his cause to the best purpose, to write its platforms, to formulate and advocate its principles. As a writer of books he stands one of the most admirable figures in American literature; and as a speaker, having no other motive than the furtherance of his theories, he attracted great audiences wherever he went, either in this country or Great Britain. But since he has become known as an available candidate, he has lost something of that strong hold be bad upon his disci-plea, and this because he no longer stands as an economist devoted only to the propagation of an economical doctrine having as its aim the ameliora tion of the condition of tbe laboring classes. We have no doubt that Mr.

George is as sincere as he ever was, but he has stepped out of his true sphere and has assumed a role that does not beut him. THE REAL ESTATE MARKET. It is when the real estate dealers are busy that the city is prosperous. The poet hath said tbat it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all, and the real estate dealer is apt to think, pursuing much the same line Of reasoning, that a boom in prices of realty and a multiplicity of transactions is not only a pretty good thing for himself, but for the whole town as well. And he is quite right.

Indianapolis needs a boom continuous in its character, and she enjoys advantages which ought long ago to have brought her far greater benefits than she has acquired. Why has she not reaped the full measure of her due? Is it because the croaker is a persistent factor in the life of the com munity Possibly so. At this stage of the game, as your card- player would remark, the man who at tempts to haul down the American pardon us, we meant to Bay the man who at tempts to raise objections to the upward rush of things should be shot on the spot. The promise of quick and lively acceleration in the growth of the city is as rosy as it wss two months ago. There haa been no change In condition.

TL real estate men may be a trifle less active to-day than they were the day before, but, i' so, the reason lies in the fact that their efforts to advertise ihe city have not been as cordially supported as they ought to have been. It does cot affect the case at all that the real estate men make money by boom ing the town. If it were not for them and the lifting up of their voices in praise of the town, we would not get on nearly as rapidly as we do. Somebody must blow the trumpet, and the real estate men, though they may do it as a matter of business, are none the less public benefactors, stimulat ing, as they do, the energies and enthu siasm of us an. hey must cot meet with discouragement.

It is all very well to look tpck to 1873 as a precautionary measure, but good came out of those days, though they were days of disaster. Then the enthusiasm of tb.e property-owners ran away with their judgment, but their judgment, after all is said, was essentially sound. The experi ence of those days should, in these days, act as the engine-governor acts Control ling and modifying. It should not act as a wet blanket. Keep the boom a booming.

There seems to De no end to the fee- soliciting schemes of Secrettry of State Griffin. We have before us a circular letter sent by him to Township Trustees and Su pervisors, under date or Maren in which he intimates that they are com pelled to have a certified copy of the stock law in their possession. He informs them that the price will be $1. The act, which is a short one, could have been written in the same number of words he takes to make his demand on the trustees and supervisors. A correspondent of the Sentinel, who has Becured one of these circulars, yery pertinently says: "There "being several hundred Trustees in the State and several hun dred Mr.

Griffin thought by telling the Trustee that the law pre scribed a duty for him to perform, and imposed a fine upon the Supervisor for failure to perform his duty under the law, that there would he a wild clamor for a copy of it." The acts were cot printed until this letter bad been generally circulated, so that there is no telling to what extent the secretary bled the Trustees and Supervisors. As the acts, index and all, only made seventy seven pages, there was no good reason why they should cot have been published by April at farthest, whereas tney were held back until about May 1, to give the Secretary, presumably, opportunity to work various little schemes of this kind. And cow that the Acts are published, it has been found that the Secretary has failed to obey the mandate of the Consti tution with respect to auch publications. The will of tbe late W. C.

DeFauw was probated yesterday. In this Instance the estate proves to be larger than had been anticipated. No one supposed that it would amount to near $5,000,000, but It reaches nearly, if not quite, twice that amount. He has bequeathed $5,000,000 to benevolent and educational objects. De- Tauw University receives $1,600,000.

The details of the will are given in the Beattael this morning. Bat few men In Liatory have made such generous bequests in these directions. Girard gave to found the college that bears his came, and John S. Hopkins about the some amount to establish the great university at Baltimore. Trobably not more than half a dozen American millionaires bave made as splendid benefactions as has Mr.

PePauw. It is a noble outcome of a busy life. Such men are the finest products of Christian civilization. Mr. DeFauw was guided by the scriptural idea of stewardship.

He recognized that it was bis duty to use his wealth for the promotion of enterprises which would inure to the benefit of his fellow-man. He was utterly devoid of of the miser's passion. He was a man of simple habits, wholly without ostenta- tiousness, having no disposition to make display his possessions. He sought no dls tinctiona, though his generosities before his death won for him great honor. He devoted himself greatly to the amassing of a great fortune, and tbe special aim ot his life reaches its fulfillment when the grave has closed over him.

It is to such men that monuments attesting the public regard are most appropriately erected. He is dead, but he has set in motion forces for the elevation of society which will endure forever. GENERAL GRANT. Confederate Opinion 'jot Ills Wilder, nesa Campaign. From tbe Centuary war papers for Jane we quote the following: "When General Grant was appointed to the command of the union armies and established his head quarters with tbe Army of the Potomac, we of tbe Army of Virginia knew very little about his character and capacity as a commander.

Even 'old army' officers, who were supposed to know all about any one who had ever been in the army before the war, seemed to know as little as anybody else. The opinion was pretty freely expressed, however, that his Western laurels would wither Ln'the climate of Virginia. His came was associated with Shiioh, where it was believed tbat he had been outgeneraled and badly beatrn by Albert Sidney Johnston, and saved by Buell. The capture of Vicksburg and the battle of Chattanooga, which gave him a brilliant reputation at tbe North, were believed by the Confederates to be due more to the weakness of tbe forces opposed to him and the bad generalship of their commanders than to any great ability on his part That he was bold and aggressive, we all knew. but we believed that it was the boldness and aggressiveness that arises from the consciousness of strength, as he had generally managed to fight his battles with tbe advantage oi largely superior numbers.

That this policy of force would be pur sued when he took command in Virginia, we bad no doubt; but we were not prepared for tbe unparalleledstubbornnesand tenacity with wbich he persisted in his at tacks under tbe fearful losses which this army sustained ati the Wlderness and at Spotsylvania. General Grant's method of canducting the campaign was frequently discussed among the Confederates, and the universal verdict was that hs was no strategist and that he relied almost en tirely upon the brute force of numbers for success. Such a policy is not characteristic of a high order of generalship, and seldom wins unless the odds are overwhelmingly on the side of the assailant. It failed in tnis instance, as shown by the result at Cold Harbor, which necessitated an entire change in tbe plan of campaign. What a part at least of his own men thought about General Grant methods was shown by the fact that many of the prisoners taken dur ing the campaign complained bitterly of the 'useless butchery' to which they were subjected, some going so far as to prophesy the destruction of their armv.

'He was the pithy reply of President Lincoln to a deputation ot innuentiai politicians who urged his removal from the command of the army. These two words embody perfectly the Confederate idea of General Grant at that time. If. as the mediscvai chroniclers tell us, Charles Martel (the Hammer) gained that title by a seven days' continuous battle with the Saracens at Tours. General Grant certainiy entitled himself to a like distinction by his thirty days' campaign from the Wilderness to Cold Harbor.

THEY COMMEND IIIS COCR3E Corgratulatory Telegrams liecelvsd by Mr. O'Brien DIs Explanation. New York, Jane 5. Mr. O'Brien has re ceived numerous telegrams congratulating him upon the course he took in regard to the parade last night.

Being interviewed to-day be said: am not surprised that gentlemen, not of the Irish race, are not able to understand the cruel difficulties by which our case is surrounded at this moment. But 1 have cot the smallest apprehension that tbe Irish Nationalists will misunderstand my action. They know how many malig nant enemies are watching every word or act of ours in order to torture them into weapons against Gladstone and Parnell. I am satisfied that they will feel also that I have acted under a painful and solemn sense of responsibility to our great leader (Parnell) and from the conviction that any other course would nave brought the utter destruction of our rxovement at the moment wnen tne opinions of millions of English people is trembling in the Daiance, ana wnen tne most unscrupulous devices are being thrown into the balance against us. I was astounded to see it stated from the plat form at Union Square that I had scored out a resolution referring to Dr.

McOlynn. As a matter of fact, no such resolution, wss ever submitted to me. The resolution submitted to me by the committee con tained no allusions direct or indirect to Dr. McGlynn's case. The resolution read from the stund was never in any manner com municated to me.

The only reference to Dr. McGlynn throughout the whole course ef tbe communication between the com mittee and myself was the state ment that Dr. McGlynn was to be present and Bpeak, and I need not tay that to tbat arrangement I had not the smallest objection to offer. I have, therefore, now to complain both that this reso lution was kept from my cognizance and that the people should have been put under the utterly false impression tbat I had Been and erased It. 'I find it difficult to deal seriously with the suggestion that I could be guilty of ary insult to labor.

My life has been one of as bard toil and of as anxious care as 1 think fall tnto the lot of most men. I think I can claim that most of its energies have been spent in the service of the poor and of the workers. As to the insulting suggestion that I was captured by Tammany Hall or other American politicians, 1 can only say that if any American politicians had been guilty of the remotest attempt to Influence my judgment in the direction of serving American party interests, I should have known how to resent it. I should bave registered any attempt to compromise my cause in the interest of any other political wcticn in America at least as warmly as I felt obliged ton the attempt to identify cs with tbe particular organization by wbich the labor parade was conducted. I came hers on purely Irish business.

I found that on one point all American parties seem to be agreed, namely, that Ireland ehould be rescued from its present misery and mismanagement. I bould have most gladly welcomed ex-erections of sympathy from every Inflnen-Ual bod7 of Americans, eo be- aj their action referred to the Irish cicse alone, but outside of this limit I have and shall always decline to travel one inch. "The suggestion that the archbishop communicated with me on the subject I regard as insulting to him and to me and scarcely worthy of a denial on my part. Dr. McGlynn I never spoke to three ticas in my life, and certainly not on this subject." THE ECKERTY LYNCHING.

A Citizen of the Town Gives the Facts of the Case Three Men Hang. Special to tbe Sentinel. LorisviLLE, June 2. Mr. W.

J. Mc Dermott, of Eckerty, Perry County, the scene of the lynching of the Davis brothers on Monday, arrived In this city this morning and was seen by a reporter. "Ihe newspapers have been nnable to get a correct account of the affair," he said. probably on account of the isolation of the place where it occurred from telegraph or railroad stations. "The brutal outrage had evidently been planaed beforehand.

On Sunday morning after all the member of the Flannagan family bad gone to church, with the ex ception of Misa Anna and her two little brothers, the two younger Davis boys called at the house and told them that the hogs were getting into their corn through a broken place in the fence, a quarter of a mile away. "I be boys went on to repair tne fence, and left their sister alone. Upon their re turn tbey aid tint st- n-r, io. no remarks, thinking probably she mign collecting eggs or something of the kiad for dinner. After some time bad passed they called her, but no answer was received.

They Eearched in the well, the barn, and everywhere tbey thought she migbt possibly be, then called upon tbe immediate neighbors, but to no purpose. their suspicions seemed to awakfD, and they looked to see if she had taken her clotb. bo was missed, cot even a hat. Kldnap'n was Immediately suspected, and Clay Davis, an ex-coavict and worthless wretch, was charged with the crime; but it was cot even thought he was foolhardy enough to carry his fiendish assault to the extent which be did. "By this time the parents had returned from church, and a general search was inaugurated.

One brother went to Birdseye and sent dispatches East and West to have Davis arrested. Mr. flannagan went to Knlow's (Mrs. Enlow is mother of the Daviees), ostensibly to inquire about the fence, hogs, etc but ready to 'catch on' to whatever he could. He made no mention of the missing girl, but Mrs.

Enlow took occasion to remark that if Annie is not at borne you need not be alarmed: she is all "Soon the whole country was aroused and searching, and the girl was found Monday morning, tied ta tree, blindfolded and gagged by a handkerchief passed through her mouth. Her brother was with tne party which found her. She was carried to her home, and after a time regained consciousness sufficient to tell the names of her assailants. A mob was soon organ ized, and the Uavises suspected were captured on the farm of William Kellams, John Davis' father-in-law. Although tbey both begged piteously for their lives, a rope was thrown over a limb of a tree and they were hung.

The mob then proceeded to tbe inlow residence, and finding Andrew Enlow at home they dragged him out and left with him. bince that time nothing has been heard from him. Those who had a hand in the pun ishment of the brutes decline to say what wss done with him. At any rate Perry County is forever rid of three of the most villainous wretches who ever disgraced a community. "Miss Flannagan is Improving, and will recover, although it will be a long time before she will be entirely well.

Mr. Flanna gan, father of the girl, owns a farm, ana is highly respected. One of his sons Keeps a store at St. Croix, while the others are all Industrious young men." FORTUNE IN THREE MONTHS. What Meredith Lora ax Made Oat of Deals in Kansas City Realty.

Chicago News. Meredith Lomax left Chicago last March With a $20 bill in his pocket. The next day he arrived in Kansas City and engaged board at a cheap hostelry. On April 3 he got an option on a small piece of real estate. He paid $10 for the option and the option was for ten days.

The real estate was located in a desirable part of the city and was "improved." In four days Mr. Lomax was offered $700 for the option and he took it. On April 11 he paid $500 for fi'ty acres of rolling prairie in Holbrook's addition. On the plats this spot looked like the garden of Eden on the spot it was a gloomy reminder of Pompeii alter the eruption. On May 2 Mr.

Lomax sold twenty acres of this paradisiacal claim for $15.000. Then he i tinted plausible paragraphs in the local capers to the effect that an Eastern syndicate contemplated erecting large woolen mills in the neighborhood of Lomax place, as he earned the barren waste. On May 20 a wealthy Idiot from Boston bit at the bait and paid Mr. Lomax $40,000 for the thirty acres of land. Mr.

Lomax returned to Chicago night be-ore last with $50,000, and he will make his permanent abode here. "I sill have some real estate interests in Kansas City," said he, last evening. "One corner lot in a fashionable part of the city is my pride. It is high, dry and airy would make a pleasant home for an asthmatic who desires to find seclusion from the noise and bustle of the world. From this corner lot a commanding view can be had of all the church steeples in the city, and on the north side of it is as fine a riparian privilege as ever a load of dirt was dnmped in.

If I get for this earner lot a price anywhere near as high as the lot itself I shall be the richest man in the West, and I will become a candidate for the United States Senate. "Kansas City is sui generis," continued Mr. Lomax. capitalists are in demand particularly, fine old gentlemen from Boston. The hotel offices are crowded with enterprising citizens waiting for a Boston man to Bhow up.

A man of the name of Adams, or Thayer, or Dana, or (juincy, no sooner gets into Missouri than there's a brass band at the Kansas City Union Depot ready to tender him an ova- tiOD. "Last we.k I attended the funeral of a prominent citizen," said Mr. Lomax. "It was largely attended, the real estate offices baying entered into an agreement to close for an hour in order to admit of paying proper respect to the deceased. In the presence of the sobbing multitude the minister (an eminent divine) offered up an eloquent piayer, closing with these words: 'In thy infinite mercy, Lord, remember that, whilst our departed brother was In life an erring earthworm, he acquired through patient industry some of the most valuable real estate in our midst.

The letter, therefore, ac-cordine to the Journal's own statement, reached there at the very earliet moment that the first mail train ou. of Richmond could bring It to them. But of course the "reform" postal service and Aquilla Jones' combined (yon need not deny it) were responsible, not only for that broken wheel tnut caused the aocident.tbut also for the loss of life; and last, but not least, the delay to the Journal's letter.

Respectf ally yours, J. T. Elder, ANII-POVERTT SOCIETY MEETING. Severe Criticism of Mr. O'Brien's Coarse by Dr.

McGlynn. New York, June 5. Nearly 4.0C0 people attended the meeting of the Anti-Poverty Society in the Academy of Music this eveniDg. Dr. McGlynn was the principal speaker.

During tbe course of bis remarks, he said it was a great mistake for tbe advisers of Mr. O'Brien to keep him from appearing on the same platform with Mctfackin. Mr. O'Brien probably did not know who Jcbn McMackin was, but he knows to-iay. Because John McMackin believes in free speech he appeared at Cooper with Mr.

Lyman. Mr. McMackin may cot have been acquainted with the deed with which Lyman is said to have been connected. I know nothing about it and I don't care. About the resolutions, all the press of today have fallen into egregrious error.

Tbey have mixed me up witb. the resolutions. I was not in the original resolution about coercion which Mr. O'Brien blue-peDciled. What Mr.

O'Brien ought to be ashamed of was tbe penciling of tne resolution tbat the land belongs to the people. Mr. O'Brien is a landlord at heart CiiQEelf. It is only a question of a small percentage between Mr. O'Brien and Lord Lansdowne.

That resolution about coercion, about Italy and other countries, got in partly through O'Brien himself. When our friends discovered that they could do nothing with Mr. O'Brien, they determined to go on and give him a dose of coercion about Italy. They said they were going to send their own greeting to Ireland and not what Mr. O'Brien thought.

We thought tbe coercion clause would displease Mr. O'Brien and some of his ill-advisers. John McMackin made a speech in which he said he had only contempt for a man who would goad men to acts of violence. Corrupt ion most be wiped cut, and the party of united labor would do it. A VEXED QUESTION SETTLED.

The Citizens and Kot the Grand Army In. vitrd the President to Visit St. Loots. St. Loris.

June 5. At the regular meeting of the citizens' or Executive Committee having in charge the preparations for the entertainment of tbe Grand Army of the Republic during the holding of lis encamp ment bere next September, tne whole matter of how and by whom President Cleveland wss invited to be present, which has caused something of a commotion throughout tbe country lately, was fully discussed, and a resolution was adopted stating that the citizens' committee is cot in any way the representative of the Grand Army, tbat it claims no authority from tbe Grand Army and that none of its acts are binding on that organization. Daring the dis cussion It was clearly shown that the idea of inviting the President to visit St. Louis during the encampment originated with and was carried out by the citizens' committee and by the citizens of St. Louis, and that tbe Grand Army had nothing whatever to do with it.

It is hoped that this matter will now find rest. Western Female Seminary. This well-known seminary is situated in one of the healthiest and most beautiful portions of Ohio, at Oxford, Butler County.
