The very comely block on the north side of 24 1 h street, betweon Grant and Washington avenues, completed at a cost of ?75,O00, is a credit Jto the. entire city. It is a four story and basement brick, ornamented with trimmings of gray limestone, and the goneral appearance of the front is beautiful. As an architectural success this is ono of Og 'den's prominent structures.' It was erected three blocks in one, with total dimensions of 100 by 105 feet, by Charles Woodmansee, who built fifty feet of the front; MesFrf. Smuin fe Thomas, who built 25 feet of tho front; and Mr. George Marsh, who added the other 25 feet. All those and nearly all other prominent buildings are being erected by home capital or nearly so, and paid for. This is a very significant fact to act down to Ogden's credit.

Behind it will be the Grand Opera House, 70x140 feet, with a seating capacity of 1,500, not counting aisles or lobby. Its stage will be 42x70 feet and 65 feet high, with a splendid ornate arch in front.

Over fifty store rooms have been added, in the business blocks erected, to those in use at the beginning of the year, and yet not a business room is empty, that is ready to occupy. And 1 residences seem nearly as scarce now as they did at the beginning of tho year. While rents are not exorbitaat, every building is paying a good profit on the investment it represents. Ogden's building progress for 1890 would have been more than 25 per cent larger than it has been, but the unpre cedented demand for material here and has so elsewhere in the Mid-Wethe capacity of kilns, quarries, mills and railroads that it was impos- ible to supply the demand.

The manifesto shifts the scene of the conflict to Ireland. After Monday county conventions will be held in Ireland to ascertain the opinions of the nationalists and clergy. Gladstone's Beply. "j. uiadstone has is sued a reply to tho Paruell manifesto in which ho denies in toto the stntemeuts LiONnoN, inov. made by tho Irish leader in regard to the retention of tho Irish membsrs in the imperial parliament, the, settlement of the lanJor agrarian dilliculty in Ireland, the control of the Irish constabu-lHrl- y and the appointment of the ju diciary in Ireland. Gladstone says he will not apply a siaglo epithet to Parnell, not being his judge. Ha believes, however, that he showed by his course in the matter of the special commission appointed to investigate the charges mado against Parnell growing out of the Pigott letter that he had no indisposition to do Parnell injustice. Gladstone then coraos to the recital of tho projiosal, alleged by Parnell in his manifeeto to hare been made to him :uring his visit to Gladstone at Hawar-de-in- n last November, in regard to tho tended proposals with regard to home rule in the event of the Liberal party winning at the next goneral election. Gladstone declares that no single suggestion was offered by him to Parnell either as a formal or a final one. The conversation then held was a statement perfectly free, without prejudice of points, on which Gladstone or such of his colleagues as he could consult wore inclined to believe the home rule plan of 1886 could be improved, and concerning which he was desirous to know whether any serious objection had risen in the mind of Parnell. To none of these suggestions did Parnell raiso any serious objection. Glad stone denies that he made the statements which Parnolls' memory ascribes to him, or anything substantially resembling them, either as to the retention of the Irish members in the imperial parliament or the settlement of tho land question or agrarian difficulties. The conversation between them was confidential To publish any account of it is to break the seal of confidence whicb alone renders political cooperation possible. Every suggestion made to Parnell was from written memoranda to which Gladstone can refer. Neither Parnell nor himself were bound by the conversation to tho absolute acceptance of the proposals canvassed. During the reyear that has since elapsed, he never ceived from Parnell any information of the alteration of his views regarding aay of them. In conclusion, Gladstone says ho held, both in public nnd private, that the national party of Ireland ought to remain entirely independent of the liberal party of Great Britain. It is their duty nnd his duty, conformably with the spirit of Gratton and O'Connell to study all adjustments in the great matter of home rule, which may loud to draw to their side moderate and equitable men. But for him to propose any measures except such as Ireland could approve on the lines already laid down, would be gratuitous as regards himself and treachery to the Irish nation, in which even by the side of Parnell, he oaa claim to take an interest. . eph:QlLtywas')i4d tiro today- - nniversary of tho admission of the state or Ohio in the Union.
