fT WILL WORK THEIR RUIY, ’n. Patrick Eagan's ophill of the Proc: lamation of the League. MHE LORD LIEUTENANT LIED. Districts Where the League Was Flemly Established Distin- guished KFor an Aimost En- tire Absence From Orime—Lincola. [FIOM THE BER’S LINCOLN BUREAU. | The interest was universal in Lincoln yesterday when the BEE furnished the complete report of the proclaiming of the Irish National league by the English government. At this city are located the headquarters and offices of the Irish Na- tional league and in this city is the home of Hon. Patrick Egan, who 1 both Ire- land and America has been in the front ranks in the lengue organizations and in the struggles of the Irish people that have énzaged public attention for vears. What the proclainiing means and how the Irish people on both sidss of the Atlantic regard 1t and its ultimate effect are questions familiar to Mr. Eagan and upon which he can express an intelli- gent opinion. To present Mr. Egan's views in detail to the Ber, that gentle- mun was called upon yesterday and the question discussed at length. Mr, Egan said: “The proclamation is based on a lie. The lord liedtenant goes on to say, ‘Whereas we are satistied that there exists in Ireland an association known by the name of the Irish National league, and that the said association in parts of Ireland promotes and incites to acts of violence and intimidation and in- terferes with the administration of the law, etc.' As a matter of fact, the league, Instead of inciting to acts of violence and intimidation, has always been the strongest guardian of peace and order, Wherever the league was strong and active in a district or county, there was to be found an almost completo absence i but wherever the league was there you would find house-burn- d landlord-shooting. The fact is the government have no need of this coercion policy for the purpose of deal- Ing with crime, as that term is under- stood in America, because there is less of itin Ireland than in any other country In the world. Its real purpose is to coerce and intimidate the down.trodden tenantry and to aid the lanalords to collect their rack rents. Noth- ing but the blindest infatuation and the most ingrained stupidity could have impelled the tories to enter on such a policy. This step has done more to advance the home rule cause than all that the friends of the movement could achieve if left to their own resources dur the next five years, 1t hns insured the eariy and complete tri- umph of the policy of Mr. Gladstone. Its effect in Ireland will be to heal up any differences that may exist in the na- tional ranks and to unite the whole coun- try as one man sgainst the infamous at- tempt against public liberty. In Eng- land it will convert the wavering liber- als to the standard of Gladstone, in America it will strengthea and conform the rapidly growing sympathy for Ire- land amongst native Americans, while it will be the means of uniting and inciting Irish in America to renewed and more vigorous exertions in behalf of the old land. Proclaiming the league and sup- rrummg it are two different things, as he tories will very soon tind out, The leaguc in Ireland ~ will be compellea to urr{ fi" its organization on other lines, and I know from long experience that there is a charm for our people in secret organization which will stimulate them to any amount of work or sacrilice that ma necessary to de- feat the government. In 1881 the Glad- stone government proclaimed the land league, and the experiment taught them such a lesson that Gladstone and nearly all the leaders of his party have become home rulers. I do not anticipate the couversion of the tories, because, like the bourbons, they are incapable of learnin, anything, but I do anticipate that within three months of the opening of the next session of parliament they will be com- pletely and 1gnominiously routed by the champions of Irish home rule. Already strong indications of the disruption of the ‘unboly alliance’ are cropping out in the secession of Chamberlain and Russell from the liberal unionists. Now that the government have com- mitted the blunder of proclaiming the league, they must, of course, take steps to enforce their proclamation, and to that they will be compelled to imprison considerable numbers of the ple, in- cluding, no doubt, many of the promi- nent leaders. This will undoubtedly stir up the passions of the people and as many of the more active and desperate amongst the younger men of the move- ment are in no frame of mind to tolerate trifling these will, I very much fear, be bloody work rivaling if not surpassing the deplorable scenes of other coercion times and the responsibility will be placed by all thinking men where it properly belongs, on the shoulders of the stupid and truculent tory government of England.” COUNTY POLITICS. Since the calling of the republican county convention for the 3rd of Septem- ber county politics have assumed active proportions and the different candidates are as active as beavers each in his own fndividual interests. There are three or four candidates for gach oilice and the rospects for lively primaries is refresh- uq. Among the latest candidates in the field is Tom Carr, of the first ward, who is running for sheriff. Itis not devel- oped yet whether the Journal has com~ menced its former policy of turnin subsoriptions for work in the wards but the ancient machine will undoubtedl try to run things notwithstanding that ft ‘was democratic four months ago, PAVING IN PROGRE: A large number of curious ci enjoyed the past few days looking at the ‘workmen laying the concrete foundation for pavements. Monday the work of ln& ing blocks will begin ana a force of 1 men will push the work hencefourth, providing the stone contractors act rea- sonably decent in supplying the material for curbing. The gros}lucl of lifting the city sbove the fearful mud that it revels i, in rainy times, is a spectacle that every man in tho city enjoys and it will be a boom of immeasurable good to the manicipality. THE PIREMEN'S EXCURSION, At 10:30 yesmrd-{ the members of Btone Ballast lodge, Brotherhood of Lo- comotive Firemen of Plattsmouth, ac- ocumpanied by a large number of friends, aased through Lincoln en route for Mil- ord for the day. The engine, 105, han- dled by Charley Simpson, was gorgeously decorated and’ five coaches accommo- dated the excursionists. A fifteen-min- ute halt was made at this point and the B. and M. band of Plattsmouth serenaded the depot force in elegant style, A mem- ber of the BEE stafl was keeping a fath- erly eye over the merry crowd and pick- nicked with them during the day.

Silver Wedding. - Saturday evening, August 13, a bril- liant assembly gathered at the beantifal home of Architect F. M. Ellis and his estimable wife at Forty-third and Far- nam streets to assist them in celebrating the twenty-tifth anniversary of their mar- riage. The fifty merry guests who filled the pleasant parlors seemed imbued with the spint of the occasion and en- joyed themselves thoroughly. Mr. and Mrs. Ellis are very widely and favorably Known, both in this state and Iowa, & fact most strougly attested by the large number and elegance of the tokens of re- gard sent them on this occasion. The more valuable presents were received from friends in this city and in Marshall- town, In, The latter city being the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ellis for several years. A most tastefully prepared and ele- fnnll_v served supper was a feature of he evenng. 'he evening was en- livened by the sweet strains of 1n- strumental music furnished by the Italian orchestra. The home of Mr and Mrs. Ellis has always been the seat of hospitality itself and an invitation from them was a guarantee of a pleasant time to those who attended. Saturday cvening was no exception to this rule, Many and hcnr!{l were the congratula- tions offered. The occasion was a source of unjodylnont to the genia! host and host- ess,and willlong be remembered by those who were privileged to be present, The following is a list of those present: Mr, and Mrs. J. M. St. John, Mr. and Mrs. A, A. McFadden, Mr. and Mrs. W, C o'cluck in the evening while the victim was seated ut a table casting up accounts. the first piercing his heart and kill- ing him nstantly. In falling he extinguished the lamp, 80 that the next shot which evidently was meant for Mrs. Seldon, missed its mark and struck the wall ahove her head. The cries of Mrs. Seldon startled the neigh- bors und they rushed to her assistance. The lamp was re-lighted, and the form of the prostrate man was lifted and placed on the sofa when to their horror l{;ey discovered he was dead! No trace of the murderer could be found. The course of the second bullet was traced through two plaster partitions, to the ceiling of the summer, and thence to the floor where & plain indentation was mads. The ball could nowhere be found, however, and it 1s thought that one of the neighbors who was assisting in the church had t}matlv thrust it into his pocket. ‘Lhis has aroused -tronfiln c- ions that this verson, whoever he is, is guilty of the murder. ‘The town of Lusk 18 great]y excited over the matter, but no clew whatever can be discovered as to the identity of the murderer, Itis thought that the perpetrator of the deed meant first to kill Mr. and Mrs. Selden, and then make way with the money and other valuables in the house. It is also thought the deed might have been prompted by proprietary troubles. At the post mortem examination the fatal minie ball was found lodged near the spine of the deceased. As the ball did not have sufficient force to go entirely through the body it is thought it must have been fired from a shotgun, or some other weapon in which the ball fitted loosely. ‘I'he inquest was held Friday. Yesterday the body was taken to Man- ville and” temporarily interred. Mr. D. J. Selden will possibly return to Omaha the latter part of this week. J. Sloan and daughter Bertha, Mr. and Mrs, A, H.
