It is a remarkable thing that the agita

bronchi before the world many men of
bxtmu'dinary genius. From Isaac Butt
down, the array

looms up with more brilliancy than Mi
chael Davitt. j# Hw labors and self-sacri
fices must

bo associated with tne
euiancioasion of the tailors of the soil.
"The lather of the Land League." as he
called. Is a raan in wnose composition
is centred all the elements ot a great
hero. He was bom near Btra-ide, Mayo
County, in 1.810,
imd
is, therefore, ot the
same age as Mr. Parnell. His father
•n'an a respectable and hard-woriang
tenant- farmer, and while Michael was
vet
young his family became the
vicvvinih of the "Crowbar Brigade,51 who
evicted them and destroyed their com
fortable Little hoip£jl His father and
family then --ailed for this country, but
Michael did not remain here long. He
returned to England, where he obtained
work in a cotton mill at Itochdivlc.
While working in the mill one day his
arm became entangled iu the machinery,
and was iujared to such an extent as to
necessitate amputation. He employed
his spare time iu study, and while yet
but a youth af 17
01*
18 years of age he
was contributing poetry to The Irish
.-People, iht official organ of the Fenians.
In 1870 Davifct was arrested London,
charged with being an arms agent, and
sentenced to fifteen years penal servi
tude. For seven years he endured the
excruciating tortures of prison confine
ment, and in 1S78 he was submitted to
the humiliation of being released on the
ordinary bieket-of-leave given to murder
ers and cracksmen. During his im
prisonment Davitt's popularity never
waned, and upon his release, in com
pany with the unfortunate Sergeant-
Ma jot McCarthy, was greeted with a
receptionj composed of about one hun
dred thousand of the leading citizens of
Dublin, with bands and banners. On
November 19, 1870, he was again ar
.rested, this time on a charge of using
^seditious language, but the case against
him was not pushed. He arrived iu this
country in May, 1880, and assisted iu or
ganizing the Laud League. He re
turned to Ireland October, and in a
short time was again arrested, but this
time the ]ury acquitted him. In 1881
he was arrested once more, and declared
to have forfeited his ticket-of-leave. He
was released, however, after the Kil
mainham treaty of 1882, and during the
b'
year once more visited America, but lie
only remained a few days, when lie re
turned to Ireland.
It can be seen from this that. Davitt
has been a martyr for justice to Ireland,
and that throughout the many years of
confinement lus earnest desire to see his
country free always remained upper
most in his mind. That he will receive
a rousing reception at the han«.Li of his
countrymen in the United States we have
no fear.
During his visit to America this time
he intends to deliver a few lectures to
augment the Irish World fund in aid of
tiie starving peasantry of Achill and
Arrau. The Minneapolis delegation
should attend to it and secure liun to
deliver z. lecture in this city. It would
have the
effect of arousing the enthusiasm
of the Iiish people throughout the
Northwest ihe cause affecting the land
of their nativity. Thousands of Irish
men will visit the city during the exposi
tion to bear Mr. Davitt express him
self on the Irish problem.
SAMUEL J. TILDEN
"This was the noblest Roman of them
all." His politics were, country firat,
last, and at all times. In the death of
Samuel J. Tilden America has lost her
most eminent statesman and the Demo
cratic party its most profound political
ecouomisfe. While his feeble health for
the past few years prevented him from
taking an active part in the affairs of the
nation, stiii his advice was always avail
aide, and that, advice never failed to
carry weight in the counsels of the
oarfcy with which he was identified
Samuel J. Tdden was ever a true
friend of the Irish people at home and
The Tildens were of old Iventisa
stock, coming from the city of Teuter
den, England, where the family had
been influential for many years. The
first member of the family who sought
the new -world was Nathaniel Tiljlen,
who had held the position of mayjr of
his native place, and who sailed for
Amoriea in the ship Ann in Ki-3-1-, and
became cue of the founders of the town
of Scituate hi Massachusetts. Later
the Tildens moved to Lebauon, Conn.,
and were prominent during the struggle
for American imdependence. After the
close of the Bevolutionaty war, John
Tilden, the grandfather of Samuel J.,
.moved to Columbia county, New York,
where he founded a new town, which
he named New Lebanon in honor of
his old home. Here on the 9cb of
companion ship of boys of his own age
ful men gave much time and attention
Mr,
states. To the North he urged recon
ciliation and forbearance, appreciating
the fearful and disastrous consequence*
of a civil war, whatever might prove
its ultimate result. To the South he
nrged a deference to the will of a ma
jority, and a respect for the xrovisions
of the federal constitution, within
which they would be sure of adequate
protection for themselves and for their
property but he warned them that
outside of the constitution they could
expect protection for neither. When
the war did come, Mr. Tilden associated
himself with and was the private advis
er of Mr. Dean Richmond, then at the
head of the Democratic party of New
York, aud who was accustomed on all
important questions to visit Mr. Tilden
in his retirement and seek his counsel.
February, 1814, Samuel J, Tilden was! A POPULAR VICEROY.
born. His early life seems to have been Lord and Lady Aberdeen have take",
quiet, and uneventful. Lacking the
he was forced to associate largely with phenomenal, and why Because Lord
his elders. It was a time when thought-
to the discussion of public questions, ]xjg departure treated the people over
and the boy became at an early age
thoroughly familiar with the political
situation and with the. questions that
were agitating the political leaders of
that day.
Tilden entered Yala col­
lege in the fall of 1832, iu the same
class with William M. Evarts, Edwards
Pierre
pent, Chief Justice Waite and a
number of others who have since made
themselves more or less famous in pub
lic life. Mr. Tilden had not been long
at college before his health gave way,
and obliged hini to leave. After some
rest he was enabled to resume bis duties,
and in 1834 entered the University of
New York, where he completed his aca
demic education. He then entered the
law office of the late John W. Edmunds
in the city of New York, where he en
joyed peculiar facilities
for
the prosecu­
tion of his favorite studies of law and
politics.
Having completed his academical
career, Mr. Tildeu pursued his legal
studies in the office of Judge Edmunds,
and also at the New York university law
school, whicb. at that time numbered
among its lecturers President Van
Buren, Attorney-General Benjamin F.
Butler and Judge Kent. He was ad
mitted to the bar in 1841, and began his
practice in an office in Pine street. New
York. As is the case with most young
lawyers, he had plenty of spare time on
his hands, and gave a large share of his
attention to politics.
Till the war came .Gov. Tilden made
every effort to avert the rebellion. He
had been educated in the school of
Jackson, and his opinions were tho^e
of Jackson, Van Buren, Wright and
Marcy, with whom, during most of
their public lives, he had been on termt
of personal intimacy. During the win
ter of 1860-1 lie attended a meeting of
the leading men of both parties the
city of New York, to consider what mea
sures were necessary and practicable to
avert an armed collision between what
were then termed the free and the slave
Doubtless the most important event
in Mr. Tilden's life, so far as bringing
him into popular notice and laying the
real foundation of of his party influ
ence and leadership is concerned, was
his connection with the overthrow of
what is known as the Tweed ring.
In 1874 he was nominated by the
Democrats for governor. His opponent,
was Gen. John A. Dix, The result of
the election was a plurality for Tilden
of 53,315. Two years before Dix had
been elected by a plurality of 53,451.
Having been elected as a reform gov.
ernor, Mr. Tilden at once addressed
himself to the questions I hat were up
permost in the minds of the people.
Early in 1876 Mr. Tilden's name be
gan to be mentioned in connection with
the presidential nomination, The
Democratic convention met at St. Louis
June 27. When it came to the question
of a candidate the main, fight was be
tween Tilden, Hendricks, Allen and
Bayard. On the first ballot Tilden was
found to be vso far ahead that there was
little doubt as to the result. On the
second ballot he
received
585 votes out
'of a total of 733. The strength shown

Aberdeen,
0n
from the time he first set foot
Xrisli soil in his official capacity until
whom he was placed with the considera
tion to which they were entitled. This
spirit of honesty had the desired effect.
It gained him the esteem and love of all
classes of the Irish, always excepting, of
course, the vampire Orange Tories.
'The latter might also have been pleased
if Lord Aberdeen had secured the ser
vices of a fife aud drum baud and pa
raded the streets of Dublin to the tune
of "The Protestant Boys" or "The
Boyne Water." But returning to the
ceremonies attendiug his departure from
the Castle.
All Dublin was abroad and 'no
thusiasmwas unbounded. Thy j
sion was a gorgeous affair, trac his
vieing with each other in display. There
were numerous bauds iu the procession
and all played national airs, there being
a marked absence of British tunes.
Lord Aberdeen and the countess were
much affected by the demonstration.
Lord Mayor Sullivan asked Lord Aber
deen to describe the scene to the queen,
and to tell her that "this was a pale fore
cast of the reception she will receive
when she comes iu person to restore Ire
land her ancient right of self-govern
ment."
The address of the corporation to the
retiring viceroy declares that nothing
short of Mr. Gladstone's measure could
satisfy the Irish people.
In his speech at Kingstown Lord
Aberdeen promised that he and the
countess would fervently pray for the
peace and prosperity of Ireland.
The farewell levee in the afternoon
was less brilliant than that of Earl
Spencer, and the attendance was
smaller.
The procession was two hours in pass
ing the castle. Two thousand horse
men were line. The crowd broke
through the ranks of police in their en
deavor to shake hands with Lord Aber
deen and his wife. The viceroy and
the countess were inundated with bo
quets.

THE EXPOSITION
The success of the Minneapolis In
dnstrial Exposition is now an assured
fact. The preliminary arrangements are
almost completed, and to say that those
having the business in hand have met
with -unexpected success scarcely ex
presses it. Every encouragement should
be given, as this will undoubtedly have
the effect of showing to the world the
illimitable possibilities of the great
Northwest. On Tuesday the directors
passed bills amounting to §8,949.15,
These figures will give outsiders some
idea of the gigantic dimensions of the
Ex position.
AN EXPLANATION WANTED.
The action of Bishop Gilmour in con
nection with the obsequies of P. K.
Walsh at Cleveland the other day was,
to say the least, injudicious. Mr.
Walsh during his life time was an inde
fatigible worker in the Irish cause, and
Bishop Gilmour, who isv a Scotchman,
does not appear to sympathize with the
people of Ireland iu their efforts to se
cure self-government. Be
v. Father
Malouev, of Cleveland, administered the
last rites to Mr. Walsh previous to his
demise, aud there is nothing to show
that he was ever anything but a true
and consistent Catholic. If the Bishop
does not give his reasons for refusing to
allow the deceased to be buried from the
Catholic Church and the services of the
choir at the obsequies, it may lead to
complications of a serious nature.
DYNAMITE LIES.
It is a coincidence worthy of note that
with the advent of the Tory govern
ment come rumors of dynamite plots.
Readers of the daily papers can rest as
sured that once or twice a week they
will be treated to a dispatch, dated from
London, which will read something like
this: "The police have, it is stated,
been informed of the existence of ex
tensive intrigues by the Irish and Rus
sian dynamiters against the English
government-. Detectives will be sta
tioned at the different Russian ports,
and all arrival's from Russia to Great
Britain will be closely watched, and the
vessels searched." These dispatches
have no foundation except in the miuds
of conscience-stricken fiends who are de
sirous of impressing upon the ontside
world the tremendous task they are
undertaking iu "keeping down the
Irish." Very little credence is given to
the lying dispatches, and we take this
opportunity of warning our readers
against, cables with the trade-mark
dynamite blown in every bottle.
MURDEROUS ADVIOE.
Tiie Bat, a Loudon society paper, has
come to the aid of Salisbury with a plan
to settle the Irish question. It is this
"There is only way out of the diffi
culty, only one method by which the
sympathies of the careless mob [the
Gladstone government by whom we are
now governed can be enlisted. The
remedy I am going to propose is a ter
rible one, but. circumstances justify it.
Let the northerners commence ah once.
Let them arm themselves, form their
battalions, and turn the weapons up till
now used against themselves against
their enemies the Papists. Let Ulster
go forth in its thousands and burn down
every Nationalist building, every cot or
hovel in which there resides an avowed
Nationalist. Let them shoot down the
agitating priests like the dogs that they
are, and then the [late] Liberal Govern
ment will understand that Ulster is in
earnest. Gladstone is a coward, and his
following rabble are cowards."
Just let the bloodthirsty Ulster hounds
attempt to settle the difficulty iu this
manner and they will ever have reasol,.
to regret it, as will Salisbury if he puts
coercive measures into force. Both mur
der and coercion have failed in the past
in their application to the Irish people,
and should they ever again be tried the
consequences will be alarming. With
a consolidated Irish people at home and
abroad great care will be taken to op
pose any acts of oppression and tyranny
on the part of either the Tory govern
mentor Vhe sanguinary Ulster Orange
men. It is scarcely likely, however,
that the murderous advice of the con
temptible rag quoted above, no matter
how much the Orange Tories would de
sire it, will ever materialize.
THE Radicals of Birmingham, with
the consent of Mr. Chamberlain, will
oppose the re-election to parliament of
Mr. Matthews, the newly appointed
home secretary. This is the first symp
torn of a breach in the Conservative
Unionist pact.
In the next Parliament the Irish To
ries will number 19, and these are Or
angemen of the deepest dye. That
they will advance a step towards giving
Ireland Home Rule no one believes.
Just how, under these circumstances
the Marquis of Salisbury will pass a bill
for the better government of Ireland
cannot be very well understood.
OVER and above everything Lord
Hartington is consistent, and from his
action refusing the Tory leadership,
no one can accuse him of opposing
Home Rule with the hope of personally
profiting thereby. Let Lord Salisbury
mr.ke the same offer to Joe Chamber
lain and see how quick he would grab
it. Cut-throats like Chamberlain are
not to be trusted.

THE incoming Tory government has
a good opportunity of showing how ear
nest itis in its professions of enforcing
the law in Ireland by dealing with the
Deny Orangemen who refuse to sur
render their arms in obedience to an of
ficial command. But having a good op
portunity and using it are two different
things, and the Orange rowdies evi
dently believe that, with their allies,
the Tories, in rower, they will be per
mitted to do about as they please, ao
matter whether they infringe the laws
or not.
How Lord Salisbury came to appoint
"Randy Pandy" to fill the position of
official spokesman of the British House
of Commons is one of these things that
no person can understand, lie is a
brainless, impudent ruffian, and is too
callow an impostor'.to gull any one a
second time. Irishmen will not easily
forget his recent declaration at Belfast,
where he did his utmost to foment an
outburst of Orange savagery, that Ul
ster had as good a right to demand a
separate Parliament as Ireland had to
claim the restoration of her national
self-government.
MRS. ERNEST HART tells in the Corn
hill Magazine for July of her experien
ces in reviving certain textile industries
in Ireland. She commends the eager
industry of the poor women and girls.
"Work, work," she says, was all they
clamored for. Their sturdy morality
was refreshing. Here, as everywhere
in Ireland, existed the strong purity
which characterizes the Irish peasant.
In the village of Gweedore during six
ty years one instance only was known
of a girl losing her character. There,
too, nearly the whole of the adult pop
ulation were teetotalers, and their hon
esty proverbial. Surely," Mrs, Hart
adds, "such a people were worth sav
ing."
THERE was another riot in Belfast

men assembled on York street and

rapidly increased and drove the police
back. The latter fired upon the mob,
killing a young man and wounding
seven others. A detachment of soldiers

streets. The police suffered severely.

but without fatal result. It will now
