A reference to the statement be- low will show that the circulation sworn to is a bona fide one. ‘It is easily possible for a news- paper with an elastic conselence to swell its legitimate circulation enor- mously, in order to deceive adver- tisers, by sending out thousands of papers to newsstands, which are re- turnable, and which are in fact re- turned, but nevertheless are in- cluded in what purports to be an honest statement of circulation. Intelligent advertisers, however, judge by results, and bogus circula- tions don’t give them. The family circulation of The Star is many taousands’ in excess of any other Washington paper, and is be- lieved to be fully five times that of our afternoon contemporary.

MAYBRICK’S CASE (Copyright, 1896, by the Associated Press.) LONDON, Septersber 5.—The Irish na- tienal convertion at Dublin, which closed on Thursday, awoke only the fairtest in- terest in England, and :t must be admit- ted by an impartial observer that as a means of promoting unity in the Irish par- amentary party it was the biggest failure A record, and ‘only served to widen the breaches existing among the various fac- tione. Even the liberal newspapers which for years have had the cause of Ireland at heart admit this. The Westminster Gazette, liberal, thinks that as a result of the convention money from abroad will flow into the coffers of the Dillonites for a year or two. But the Westminster Gazette adds: here can be no permanent support out- side of Ireland until there is a united Irish party, and of this there is rot the ghost of a chance unless the bishcps and priests take the field.” ; Society Topics.

The political campaign in the United States continues to be watched with in- tense interest.

I am a dem- t of democrats in the true sense of the and I believe that one of the great- est dangers to the democracy of Ameri that huge accumulation of capital is in the hands of a few. But, as a democrat and one desirous that the ‘cause of democ- racy should everywhere prevail and as an admirer of the sterling common sense of the Americans, I sincerely trust that Bryan will be defeated.” Truth also comments upon the rise in price of American securities on the stock exchange and says there are distinct signs that the large English capitalists are pick- ing up low-priced shares and are taking their chances of the election.

Treatment of Irish Prisoners, In connection with the assertion Irish political prisoners have been driven insane by the hardships of convict life, it is Interesting to note the report of tie government inspector of prisons, which not only flatly’ contradf&ts the assumption, b shows to his satisfaction th; management has precisely the opposite ef- fect. The report quotes figures to show that the number of insane prisoners de- creases with the length of their imprison- ment, and that of the average daily poputa tion, 3,220, of the convict prisons for the year ending March 1, there were eleven insane ccnvicts and only twenty-six deaths, all from natural causes, among them.

Mrs. Maybrick’s Cuse, There are renewed indications of the agitation for the release of Mrs. May- brick. The newspapers stated recently that the lord chief justice, Baron Russell of Killowen, had sent an appeal to the home secretary, Sir Matthew White Rid- ley, adducing new evidence, and the mother ot the prisoner, Baroness de Roques, has had an interview with her, finding Mrs. Maybrick in very bad health. Talking the matter over with a repre- sentaiive of the Associated Press, counsel for Mrs. Maybrick sai “No one can possibly be more anxious for the prisoner's release than myself; but I must deprecate the ill-advised agitation which is constantly occurring on her be- half. I do not think that it does her case any good, and in several instances it has that put at the prison positively been detrimental. | Con2erning new evidence, I have heard nothing, ror am I prepared to say that anything par- ticular has Fecently been done in the mat- ten The Theaters.

PORTLAND, Oregon, September 1. The republicans, the gold democrats and the populists of Oregon have during the past week each had an inning in the game of politics. Saturday night the gold demo- crats held their state convention in Port- land, and Monday United States Senator John H. Mitchell created a stir in the re- publican camp by his return to Portland ready to doff his coat and take up the fight for McKinley; yesterday the demo- cratic state central committee surrendered, boots and saddles, to the populists, the terms of capitulation being an unqualilied indorsement of Bryan and Watson. The meeting cf the gold democratic con- vention was an event in the history of polities in Oregon. The attendance was not so large in numbers, but it was an earnest, enthusiastic gathering, with one common purpose in view—registering a 5 emn protest against the action of the lead- ers of the democratic party at the Chicago national convention. There was no disturbing element pres- ent, there were no vociferous “general: or “colonels,” and the noise and disput characteristic of political assemblages were entirely absent. It was a quiet, orderly body of men, many of them prominent in the ranks of Oregon's democracy, while among them mingied many young men who are just shaping their political course. in fact, the convention was a representative gathering of men who fully realized th importance of the steps which were to be taken. The feature of the convention was the resolutions presented for adoption. Up: the main issues of the campaign they are clear and sound. The firm 2nd intelligent support given to the President in bis main- tenance of the principles upon wh able government and civilized — sec are founded is a rebuke to the St. Louis a Chicago conventions alike. The utteranc upon the tariff question, upon which hou- est, intelligent and loyal men do no: think alike, are as to repel ne democrat who may agree with Bryan on this q tion alone.
