The public is quick to perceive and appreciate the excellence of a good Report of the great event. 10" The charges of treachery towards the Irish cause, which were made three years ago by Dr. P. H.Cronin, of Chicago, the continued repetition of which cost him his life, find confirmation from Col. Michael Harkins, who has reached Amer­ ica from Portland prison, in England Harkins was one of the delegates sent over in 1887 hy the dynamite faction of the Clan-na-gael. He says emphatically that although he and his comrades sailed |hi? "Right HonJVVilllam HenrjrJjinth» under assumed names they were spotted by detectives. This is what was claimed all along by Dr. Crdnin. It proves be­ yond peradventure that there was treach­ ery in the Irish camp on this side of the water, and that the unfortunate men were deliberately betrayed to the English government before they had set foot on English soil. 4 MP"* One of the best known ladies in the United States has been captured by a foreigner and an Englishman. Mrs. i'rank Leslie, of New York, was married Sunday evening to William C. K. Wilde, «, talented gentleman from London. He is a lawyer, a physician and a newspaper dan, and will take up his home with his bride in New York and assist her in her work. He is to be congratulated. *v McKinley, in a recent speech, an- ;_fcwering the question "Who pays the tax?" stated the following fact: "The duty on linseed oil is 32 cents a gallon, and on the farmers' flax seed 22 cents a !£" "Irashel. Then oil sells for 36 cents a gallon. In London it sells for 38 cents & gallon, and if the tax is added, lin­ seed should sell here for 65 cents a gal­ lon. But it does not. Who pays the tex?" ' 10^An Indianapolis paper truly says: f' When Chicago wanted to erect a monu­ ment, to General Grant she put up her »|$200,000, built her monument and dedi­ cated it. When New York wanted a mon- V;niment, even though she possesses the • g ashes of the great hero as an inspiration, » ehe talked about it and appealed to the ; . country to help her, and resorted to pivarious catch-penny devices to raise the c^money, and, although six years have passed, there is not so much as a founda­ tion." Ifi^The Woodstock Sentinel in speak ing of Congressman Hopkins, says: He has made a record which equals that attained by any of his predecessors. He has convinced the world, first of all, that he is a patriot and a defender of the Nation's honor at all times pnd places, and secondly, that he is a Republican among Republicans, and a firm believer in the principle that the party which saved the Nation is fit and worthy to administer the affairs of the same in purity and honor for yet more years to come. Mr. Hopkins is we understand, a candidate for re-election, and we have heard of no opposition to his candidacy inside the bounds of his party. He is an educated gentleman, a hard worker, and a fearless defender, of the rights of the veterans of the civil war, and we know of no reason why he should not receive the unanimous nomination of his party dur- < ing the campaign next year.

Boston wins the pennant as the games stand. Chicago is rightfully entitled to it, and if Uncle Anse don't contest it for I all there is in it he won't come up to the ) expectations of his friends. Chicago beat the Bostons but couldn't beat the New Yorks, though they prevented them from winning the pennaht, but in so doing I Boston gained rapidly, and when they came to play the New Yorks, Boston won every game. It was a contemptible I trick--a fraud--but New York would much prefer to have any Eastern club win the pennant than Chicago. The) wind-up of the season has done very much to bring the great national game | into ignominious repute. Nearly every pattern of H g f s q Blanket is imitated in color and style. In most ca«es the imitation looks just as good as the genuine, but it hasn't the sjatp threads, and so lacks strength,and while it sells for only a little less than the genu­ ine it isn't worth one-half as much. The fact that Horso 8/anhts are copied is strong evidence that they are THE STANDARD, and every buyer should see that the 3k trade mark 19 sewed on the inside of the Blanket.

This great Republic has once more been aroused and shook to its very centre by the all-ab­ sorbing topic of Base Ball, and our famous hoss trots at the Park, and the perpetual mo­ tion bicycle club, last but not least. What is life without enjoyment? and how can you enjoy life unless you have good health, and how can you have good health unless you eat good, wholesome food, and wear the best of clothing, chew the best tobacco, keep your during meetiug on the floor instead of resting them on top of tho*your near neighbor's pew. For the last eight or ten years 1 have 8'10,always traded at one place* and that is at the northwest corner of apf Main and Front streets, West McHenry, III., and all my purchases turned out satisfactory, from a $40 overcoat down to a euchre deck sigf or a hard cider jug.

J., has taken the oath of allegiance to the j United States before Judge Albert Hoff­ man, in Jersey City, and received her| naturalization papers.

If Mi^s Turner had lived in Illinois previous to 1870,1 and had been naturalized in a court of j the State, she would have been eligible as! a woman voter to vote at school elec-1 ; tions. But, alas, such is not the case.1 • And there are no such cases. I8*A high English authority has said that the new American war-ships are faster than the fastest English ships and quite equal in other respects. In speak­ ing of the three modern coast-line battle­ ships now under construction this same critic says that they are distincly super­ ior in most respects to European vessels of the same displacement, and that for the purposes intended, of protecting the American coast line, they seem to be quite a match for any ships afloat. Add to this is the statement made by Colonel Hope, a famous British ordnance expert, that the high-power rifles built for our navy at Washington are the "best guns ashore or afloat anywhere in the world." I^The seizure of the Canadian sealing schooner Otto, while not of itself an im­ portant event adds to the complications existing between the Canadian, or, to speak properly, the British Government and that of the United States. That the Otto was found in the now proscribed waters of Behring Sea is admitted; that she had forty-eight sealskins on board of her is certain; that they were taken there during the "closed season" seems to be probable. The first act of the United States man-of-war Mohican after tempo­ rary seizure of the Otto was inspection j of her papers. If these had been found I regular the plea of the Otto's captain that the skins had been taken before the j 27th of June, 1891, on which date tbe "closed season" and penalties for its I violation first was made known at Vic­ toria, B. C,, would have held good. But | it appearing from her papers that she had sailed on the 3d of July, six days after proclamation of the "closed sea» the inference of illegal capture of seals | was unavoidable.--Inter Ocea.n.

On the other hand the Illinois Univerealista with equal unani­ mity call for the opening of such branches as do not necessitate extra labor, and that a special inducement of reduced ad­ mission charge be made. The idea of the latter denomination is that such exhibi­ tions are great educators. Many work­ ing men can ill afford to spare other time. The city will contain thousands of stran- jgerg who are away from home restraints, foreign visitors, who know nothing of tbe American idea of Sabbath observance infill mB it incongruous that everything Of an elevating nature is closed on Sun- ' 4ay afternoon, and nothing open but the Saloons.

I caused him to become a fugitive from his I h6 8ired a two-year-old with a record of | native country, for whose welfare he had [ so strenuously contended. To the Amer-1 ican mind, Gen. Boulanger's desertion of his wife and family for a mistress who had been influential in advancing his political interests, might be open to criti­ cism, but that has been the way with Frenchmen and what there is of their politics since Charlemagne down. That his suicide occurred so soon after that of the Chilian President might suggest the incident, but his going to the cemetery where his beloved friend had been buried but a few months before suggests either a devotion that was commendable, or a defeated ambition which to him was un­ bearable. The choice between these two versions will confront future French his­ torians especially when they come to treat upon the fickle and vascillating course of a nation that has so often en­ deavored to establish a Republic--and practically failed viewed from Boulanger's standpoint. f .
