‘APPEAL TO IRISHMEN | CALLED UPON BY THEIR BROTHERS TO VOTE FOR HARRISON. @upport of Mr. Cleveland, They Say, Is Support of Everything Antagonistic to Ireland—Some Interesting and Timely Suggestions. The efforts of the Democrats to win for Mr. Cleveland and British free trade the Irish-American vote of this city will hardly be successful. The Irish-Amer- icans have learned that a vote for Mr. d means a vote Great Britain and against the country which has been 20 long oppressed and kept down by British domination. In nearly every election and in each assembly district of New York city the Irish-Americans have organized and have decided to cast their votes against their most bitter enemy. A committee composed of the presidents of the assembly district or- ganizations of these clubs has sent out the following appeal to their Irish-American friends in this country: ‘To trish Americans: ‘We appeal to your intelligence and patriot- ism, and ask your consideration of the follow- ing undeniable facts affecting the welfare of our race and adopted country, and the golden epportunity now afforded us of dealing our @memy and oppressor, the British empire, a deadly blow with our ballots. It isscarcely necessary to remind you that the government and monopolies of England and their bitter Tory organ, the London Times, with the Cobden Free Trade club and their allies in this country—Puck, The Harper's, New York Times, Evening Post, etc.—are all @a the side of Grover Cleveland, advocating and working for his election in England's in- trade, which would give renewed vitality and encouragement to the crumbling industries of land. Eng! The diplomatic triumphs achieved by Minis- ter Egan, which are now matters of history, NATIONAL THANKSGIVING. President Harrison Designates Thursday, the 24th of November. The following proclamation has been issued by President Harrison: The gifts of God to our people durin, the past year have been so abundant an 30 special that the spirit of devout thanks- giving awaits not a call, but only theap- pointment of a day when it may have a common expression, He has stayed the pestil-nce at our door; He has given us more love for free civil institutions,in the creation of which His directing provi- dence was so couspicuous; He has awak- sned a deeper reverence for law; He has widened our philanthrophy by a call to euccor the distress in other lands; We has blessed our schools and is bring- ing forward a patriotic_and God-fearing xeneration to execute His great and ben- evolent desigus for our country; He has given us great increase in material wealth and a wide diffusion of content. ment ani comfort in the homes of our people; He has given His grace to the sorrowing, Wherefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States, do call upon all our people to observe as we have been «ont Thurslay, the twenty-fourth day of this month of November, asa day of Thanksgiving to God for His mercies and of supplication for His continued care and grace, In testimony whereof I have hereunto 3et my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this fourth day of November, one thousar.d t hundred and ninety-two, and of the dependence of the United States the one hundred and seventeenth, By the President, BENJAMIN HARRISON. John W, Foster, Secretary of State, EUROPE’S NEXT WAR. Bismarck Says None is Likely to Break Out for Some Years. Dr. Blum has had an interview with Bismarck at Leipsic, who spoke on the new Military Lill and Germany’s rela- tions with France and Russia. He de- and which recently drew from the secretary of state, Hon. John W. Foster, the statement that “no other American minister in this gen- eration bas had so difficult a post to fill, and no | ether American minister has acted with more tact, prudence and patriotism,” completely jus- tity President Harrison in the noble and gen- @rous course he adopted. And it can be truly said that no successor of Washington in the White House has elevated thestandard and pride of American citizen- abip at home and abroad more than has Presi- ent Harrison by his able, honest and patriotic administration. Irish-Americans, will you not uphold the man whosustained the representative of your face before the eyes of the whole world? Never since Irishmen rallied around Wasb- ington to establish this republic, and again in @cfense of the Union from 1861 to 1865, has the eccasion demanded that they should exhibit their patriotism more actively, and therefore every principle of honor, tradition and grati- tude demands that they should stand by Harri. son and the policy of the Republican party, especially at the present time, when Joe Cham- berlain is soliciting their votes for his idul, Grover Cleveland. ‘We now ask you to note the bitter insult of- fered to your race by Robert B. Roosevelt, Mr. Cleveland's minister to Holland and the t! rer of the Democratic national committee, in his widely circulated book, “Is Five Acres Enough?” “If the inhabitants of the Emerald Isle did not lie, steal, cheat, rob and murder, t drunk, perjure themselves, quarrel and pat. thay eae be almost as good as people of other nations.” The-appeal is signed by James Carey. president of the Fifteenth Assembiy District club; Patrick Cunniam, presi- deut of the Fifth Assembly District club: Peter Brereton, president Seventeent! Assembly District club; Malachi J. Bran- nigan, president Fourth Assembly Dis trict club; J. Bernard Brophy, presi.jient Nineteenth Assembly District club; Wil liam F.

Sullivan, president First As. sembly District club; Thomas McDer. mott, president Third Assembly District elub; D. W. Coughlin, president Tent: | Assembly District club, and Hugh Cole- man, president Thirteenth Assembly District club. The Republican party will win this election if its voters do their duty. If yeu neglect to do your duty the respon- sibility will be with you, A Great Straddler. —New York Press, SOUTHERN WAR CLAIMS. Munédreds of Millions of Dollars’ Worth Pressed for Payment by Democrats. The committee on war claims have re ported in favor of more than $70,000,00( worth of claims for damages caused by the devastation of war. If there is any thing settled in law it is that no nation ever undertakes to repair the damage: of war. Where the accident of destruc- tion falls there it rests. But there i: we danger at this very moment that man at this late day be cajoled int: vast payments in that behalf. These elaims come to us under the sanction of Teligious eocieties, to pay for rent of churches, to pay for damages to school: and colleges. Each is for a smal! amount, but the aggregate will appaii thecountry. In addition to the $70,000, 00 already reported by the committee en war claims $400,000,000, and perhap 9800,000,000, of such claims have bee: referred to the court of claims.—Ex Speaker Boed, ‘Weur vete may decide the result of this Gestion.

He believes that neither France nor Russia desires war, and that no war is likely to break out for at least a few years tocome.

Mrs. Deacon Defies the Court. Another sensation has developed in the Deacon case in Paris, France. As soon as the Tribunal of the Seine delivered its decision dismissing Mrs, Deacon’s suit for divorce and ordering that the eldest child, then in a convent, be delivered up to Mr. Deacon, Mrs, Deacon hastened secretly to the Convent of Our Lady of the Assumption, in the Department of the Marne, bent upon carrying off the child, and thus defying the authority of the French court and baffling Mr. Dea- con, When Mrs. Deacon arrived the news of the court’s decision was unknown at the convent, and she was admitted as usual. She asked and obtained leave to take the elder of the two children toride, and, after kissing the younger, she walked with the former to the carriage, At first she drove slowly, but increased her speed as the convent and adjoining houses disappeared from view. Mr. Deacon drove up to the convent 20on after his wife had gone, and was amazed and angry when he learned the situation. The Lady Superior was also ; astonished when she learned of the strategy of Mrs. Deacon. Mr. Deacon at once appealed to the police, who joined him in attempting to overtake his wife, It seems impossible for her to escape from France, as the people everywhere have been warned to be on the lookout and to arrest her and the child where- ever found, A Millionaire's Queer Gift.
