for sailsJ The Catholic clergy are undoubtedly Working work-ing assiduously in the interest of the Nationalist cause and it its not necessary neces-sary to enter into lengthy details with a view of demonstrating that the kind of work they manage to do is decidedly effective There is little doubt that the Parnellists feel sanguine of a degree of immediate success with the ultimate consummation of the high aims which constiutes the goal for which they are striving But the methods are questionable ques-tionable The local press or the press of Ulster Province makes light of the bare assumption on the part of Nationalists Nation-alists that such things are possible and yet the pertinacity with which they explain ex-plain the untold evils that would undoubtedly doubtedly follow the attainment of the Catholic views shows clearly that they have been pricked deeper than to the skin and that the bantering defiant and impudently confident tone of their disloyal as the Protestants call them

account not long ago of a man and woman both having their brains blown out while driving along in a carriage and what makes the conviction con-viction stronger that the outrages and j murdersare political is the fact that it is among the rarest things to hear of any robbery being committed on the victims yith these occurrences becoming be-coming more frequent and without a condemnatory word

is in the delightful condition of the patient with two doctors holding contrary con-trary opinions and through the zeal of both to save and by prescribing different differ-ent medicines the patient secures a happy and desirable escape in death While the Liberals were in power the Conservative papers were going wild over the state of Ireland now the Conservatives Con-servatives are in and the Liberals are wild over existing conditions while the Conservative organs serenely and calmly calm-ly suggest it would be well to wait and let the methods of the new Viceroy have a trial before judging or condemningnot withstanding tnet fact that crime is steadily increasing 4 Twice the indignity is expressed at the frequent occurrence of bdvcotting which perhaps thepnly just method of warfdre which the Nationalists l can pursue compared with the Denunciation Denuncia-tion of the raids of assassins and moO lighters She only thing that can be said against boycotting is that itis enforced en-forced

handle is being made out of the statement which is going the rounds of the press here that Mrs Par nell Charles Stewart Parnells mother is in Boston in very poor circumstances and that an effort is being made to get her a pension from the United States government because her father was an officer in the American army in the war of 1812 In a quiet and insinuating way it is intimated that of course t Mr Parnell would not allow his mother to be placed in so unenviable a position yet there is all the while a covert sneering sneer-ing tone which plainly indicates the opinion of the press that Mr Parnell is just the kind of a youthas would be the last to raise a serious objection to the proposed pension if such proposition there be For the first time so I am told since the famine resulting from the blight to potatoes in 181047 there has been no blight in that vegetable in the Province of Ulster this season The people are obliged to keep introducing new varieties varie-ties every year or two in order to stay the ravages of the blight and there is considerable congratulation over the prospect of getting rid of it altogether though by many the failure of the blight to appear this season is due to the peculiar pecu-liar weather had here this summer Ai young Scotchman was recently discovered dis-covered who had two heads on his shoulders The event did not create a
