The Pope of Rome, who seems
to profess a great deal of interest in
the Irish people, wrote an order
sometime ago, commanding all his
subjects living in Ireland to desist
from any opposition to the British
authority, and to submit to the
power of the English government,
but the down-trodden and liberty
loving people of Ireland refused to
obey the “infallible” decrees of the
Pope. Intense dissatisfaction was
caused by the letter among the
Irish people, and it seems that the
papal authority is to be ignored.

ited, have started twenty stamps

ty party, A band of twenty-five
or thirty masked men, overpower
ed the deputy sheriff, tore open the
steel cage in which the negro was
confined, and took him out and
hanged him to a tree outside the
town. A dispatch of the same date

mitted on the same day on the
person of a 12-year-old girl, living

The democrats of Indiana, have
formally opened the campaign. It
bids fair to become the most me
morable one in the history of that
State. At Indianapolis the other
night, Gov, Gray addressed an au
dience of 4,000 people. He said
that “the coon-skin campaign of
1840 was too old. The democrats
are going to inaugurate a cam
paign like that of 1884. lam will
ing to risk my reputation as a po
litical prophet, that Cleveland will
be elected. The democrats will
take cheap fuel, cheap lumber,
cheap blankets and cloth; the re
publicans may take their cheap
whisky and tobacco. The republi
cans of 1884 made a feeble attempt
to cut loose from the monopolies
and syndicates of the country, up
on whose support it had always
trusted, but at the Chicago Con
vention the party handed itself
over again to monopolistic power,
by promise not to molest the
tariff,”
