A famine is reported in County
Donegal, Ireland, and 2500 persons are
in danger of starving. This can hardly
be true. England is the richest nation
in the world, and she would hardly
permit any of her subjects to starve
while her store houses are so bounti-
fully supplied.

An Unsuccessful Candidate.
Coriolanus, noble Roman,
Wouldn’t give the voters taffy;
• Wouldn’t tell ’em they were brilli
Wouldn’t tell ’em they were valia
Wouldn’t kiss the Roman babies;
Said he’d see their dads in hades
Ere he’d buss the dirty youngsters
Of a horde of swelling bungsters;
Said no office he would fawn for;
No, his toga he’d first pawn for
What he needed; no he wouldn’t
Give ’em taffy; no he shouldn’t.
Thus it was the noble Roman,
Fearless, peerless Coriolanus,
Just as might have been expected,
Never came to be elected.

Mrs. LANGTRY might as well return
to England and resume her domestic
duties. As a theatrical sensation on
this side of the water her popularity is
waning, and her recent escapades in
New York have deprived her of the
sympathy felt for her by the American
people when she first arrived. The Lily
has been playing to small houses in
Boston, and the burning desire to see
her has been greatly lessened by the
adverse criticisms of the press.
Senator Cockerell, of Missouri,
forced, an adjournment of the Senate
Saturday by threatening to read aloud
from the Congressional Record. With
such a prospect in view the Senators
were only too anxious to get out of the
way. ______

Barrett to the Jersey Lily. While the

GIVE IH A LELA,
The Times-Democrat, of New Or-
leans, sent an expedition to explore the
Everglades of Florida, and the party
made the trip of nearly five hundred
miles through a country which, it is
said, was never before visited by a
white man. The Times-Democrat ex-
presses the opinion that “with the
great engineering works now going on
in Florida to drain the superfluous
waters that have hitherto rendered, the
Everglades uninhabitable, it is more
than probable that this garden spot
will soon be thrown open to settlement
and that thousands of persons will be
dashing down to Florida to secure a.
home in this newly redeemed country,
to whose fertility our expedition bears
testimony, and which is confessedly the
only portion of the- United States where
the pineapple, the cocoanut and other
tropical fruits bloom and flourish.”

Russia, by beginning the. construc-
tion of a number of railroads on her
frontier which were deemed unneces-
sary for commercial purposes and by
changes in her garrisons, excited a
little unfavorable comment, and now' she
comes forward and explains to Germany
that these things are unimportant.
Germany will, however, keep her
weather eye open just the same, and
doubtless may think she has excellent
reason for desiring to prolong the al-
liance with Austria.

It is not generally believed that the
present Congress will do anything more
with the tariff than blow and bluster
about it, leaving the next Congress to
make the revision which the country
demands.
Just at the time when the police
claim to have in their possession not
only facts but individuals connected
with the Phoenix Park murders, the
Lord Lieutenant offers rewards for in-
formation relative to the same aggre-
gating upwards of $25,000. The Lord
Lieutenant and the detectives are
probably in cahoot.

The Henry V. Kiss.
Miss Carlyton, the actress, is Mrs.
Melville in private life. She has been
a member of the company supporting
John A. Stevens in “Passion Slave.”
In St. Louis she threw up her engage-
ment, and one of the reasons why she
gave a Post-Dispatch reporter was that
she did not like the manner of kissing
in the play. “You see,” she explained,
“Mr. Stevens used the Henry V. kiss,
and it was decidedly unpleasant, as he
was neither a husband, a relation or a
lover.” The audience was sure to tit-
ter, too, and she thought this was due
to the actor’s awkwardness. “This
kiss,’’.she kindly added, for public in-
formation, “is the one that Gingold
uses in the play of ‘Henry V.’ The
gentleman comes behind the lady and
puts both of his hands over her shoul-
ders on her cheeks, so that the fingers
meet just beneath her chin. Then he
pulls her head back to his shoulder
and kisses her fully on the lips, keep-
ing his mouth to hers. After he kissed
me that way once I always moved my
mouth so that she kissed me on the
chin, and not on the lips, but it was
unpleasant in the extreme. I am not
at all prudish, but I am an artist, and I
do not want to use stage business that
has descended to the low variety
theater. It is stage etiquette that no
gentleman should kiss a lady on the
lips. Mr. Stevens has violated this
rule over and over again.”

Hiscock and Robeson.
In i the House on Saturday Hiscock
and Robeson, two of the fat leaders of
the Republican side, had a little row
that caused some amusement. Robeson
was fighting the appropriation for fast
mail facilities, when Hiscock remarked
that Robeson could not deceive anybody
by passing as a reformer. He said every-
body knew what the trouble with Robe-
son was. He is smarting, said Hiscock,
under the lash of the press, and hopes
by defeating the appropriation for fast
mail facilities to injure the newspapers
by preventing their early distribution
Robeson was so taken aback by
thus exposed that his usual ready wit !
deserted him, and he had not a word ’

Senator Maxey thinks the civil ser-
vice bill now before Congress is a sham
and will not reach the evil aimed at,
but that it will not be politic to oppose
it, as public sentiment is clamorous for
some sort of reform legislation. The
honorable Senators should not be guid-
ed by “policy,” but should act upon
the theory that whatever is worth do-
ing is worth being well done.

Mr. Parnell thinks if England de-
sires to promote Irish immigration to
America she should be willing to pro-
vide houses and lands and the means to
make a crop the first year of residence.
This is not a bad idea-of Mr. Parnell’s,
but nevertheless it is one that is not at
all likely to be acted uppn. Texas,
however, could furnish all the lands
required at such small cost that that
part of the expense would be inconsid-
reble, and after the first year the new
settlers, if frugal and industrious, could
easily repay the amount advanced to
enable them to raise the first crop. Up-
on the whole, we might probably rec-
ommend Mr. Parnell to press the sub-
ject.

The Print tells the town to commit a
felo de se in order to kill the leeches
that hang on her and are slowly suck-
ing away her life. Should the town
take The Print’s advice, its conduct in
sending the “capper” to Congress will
be forgotten in this last disgrace.
The Print did not advise that Galves-
ton abrogate her city charter nor point
to the good results of the Memphis
plan. The Print merely suggested that
as one way out of the difficulties of the
ward system which has become so ob-
noxious to all good citizens who de-
plore the present maladministration of
city affairs. We do not see, however,
wherein Galveston would incur any
disgrace by abolishing her charter and
becoming simply a part of the county
government or by retaining her charter
and abolishing, so far as she is concern-
ed, the county government. The idea
is that one set of officers might be
sufficient.
The canvass for the vote of all State
officers, except governor and lieutenant-
governor, is progressing at Austin,
and report says the count will show
little difference from the Democratic
majorities of 1880. Somehow or other
this seems to recall to mind the state-
ment of a contemporary that somebody
had won a great moral victory..

Gentlemen: I had one of your single door, fire-proof safes in the large fire in this
city on October 13, 1881, and in a stone building, and was subjected’to terrific heat for
| thirty-six hours, and when said safe was opened it was found that the contents were pre-
served to the utmost extent—not a book or paper being even scorched, or any of-the
leather binding charred. And, again, we had in this city another large fire, on August
1, 1882, in a large stone building. This identical safe was in this fire, melting knob and
dial off and somewhat of the feet. This time I felt certain its contents were burned, the
heat being terrible for over forty hours; but, upon opening the safe, what was my sur-
prise to again find the contents preserved from seoreh or burn, the same as in first fire.
This is what can be truly called a fire-proof safe without doubt, and did double the duty
expected of it. Yours truly, J. P. OSTERHOUT, Postmaster, Belton.

‘ ASSORTMENT OF
THE RIGHT OF WAY.
The City 'Council wrestled with the
Santa Fe right of way question for two
hours last night without accomplishing,
anything more than a postponement of
consideratior of the veto message of
the mayor, the protests of citizens and
the suggestion contained in the letter
addressed to the council by President
Sealy, of the Santa Fe road. This was,
perhaps, the best thing the council
could have done. Any other course like-
ly to have been adopted would have been
very unsatisfactory to a large number
of citizens and property holders most
directly and* intimately connected with
the question to be decided, and there
seems to have been no reason why the
minority should not have quietly
acquiesced in the reference of
the whole matter without dissent.
True, it is somewhat unusual to
refer a veto message of an executive
officer to a committee, but pending the
action of a conference with a view to
settling the very question to which the
message refers there was no improprie-
ty in deferring its consideration and
final action thereon. The temper of
President Sealy’s letter is moderate
and conciliatory and no disposition on
the part of the road to force its track
upon any particular highway is mani-
fested. The company has property, or
claims to have, in the East End which
it is desirous of reaching, and some way
must be found for them to accomplish
that purpose, but the rights of private
property must be respected. If the
Santa Fe road can not reach its pro-
posed terminus without trespassing up-
on private property, the proper provi-
sion should be made to reimburse those
who suffer damage by reason of such
trespass. There is no need for intem-
perate debate or stubborn division in the
Board of Aidermen on the question. It
is a question of more serious moment to
the citizen whose property interests are
directly involved than may appear to
the aiderman who may have no such in-
terest at stake; but beyond and above
all this, it is a question of private
rights which should be held superior
to all acts of legislation and to all other
interests or consideration.
