ST. PATRICK'S DAW
This is St Patrick's Day! And
yet, bow few of the millions who
celebrate the national festival o
TrnUn In everv aaarter of the
-w w. V ff
trnw remember that in a few
years it will bo fully fifteen con
inrios Kinco be was born.. The
place of his birth is uncertain.
h'Ust claimed bv France ana
r-
Scotland as well as by the nation
which be redeemed .from pagan
ism. It is certain that though
born a freeman and even of
patrician rank, as his name ira
plies, he was captured and sent a
kbie to Ireland: that he broke
the fetters of bis body, and hav
ing regained his freedom, deter
mined to emancipate the souls of
his enslavers.
This was fourteen hundred
vears before the Declaration of
Independence; but it was only
five hundred vears after the
creator Declaration of Human
Urotherhood by the Son of God.
If the man Patrick was not Irish
born, he, like every other man of
noble soul who came to Ireland,
speedily became "more Irish than
the Irish themseh es" as the
Rev. E. W. Oakos, of West
mead, would say; and Patrick
the saint, so formed and moulded
the character of the people whom
ho loved that his name and his
festival day are synonymous
with Ireland wherever an Irish
man dwells. Such union of man
and country is without a paralled
in the history of the world. Saint
Denis of France, Saint George
of England, Saint Andrew of
Scotland, Saint David of Wales,
are names which havo ceased to
carry any personal meaning with
the people of the countries which
claim their sponsorship. Even
Santiago of Spain has not been
heard as a rallying cry for cen
turies, but Saint Patrick and
Ireland are inseparable ideas.
Even thoJrUh Protestants honor
the patron saint of their nation
by keeping his feast every year
on the Seventeenth of March; as
Washington recognized it by
giving the pass-word "Saiut
Patrick" for f he day that saw his
English enemies driven out of
Boston.
The Irish whom St Patrick
went to redeem from paganism :
were far in advance of their
neighbors of Northern Europe!
They were a brave, enterprising
people whose ships had traded
with the Mediterranean and
whose armies had overrun Scot
land, England and Franco, The
legions of KingDathi were turn
ed back at the foot of the Alps
only after their monarch had
died bya lightning stroke while
waving his sword to point out
the road to greater conquests.
While the whole of Britian was
sunk in savagery, the Irish en
joyed a syitem of just laws, had
the arts of architecture and
metal working and cultivated
literature in a rudimentary way
by giving especial tonor to poets
and bards. Hospitality was not
only a national virtue but was a
duty imposed by law. Their
religion was a gentle, if an err
ing creed. Aa John Boy leO'Rei.ly
sang:
The Sun, Ufa-Giver, was God on
' hlfh"'
Men ohl)TJ the Powoi they Ht;
And tbey kept the faith as the m
rolled .
Hy Um oltymn Beltane 1w,''
And again :
But we O Sun, that of old waa our
Coa, we look in thy face to-day,
aj our Druid who prayed in the aa-
rieot timN nod with them we
proud!) aay:
W hav wronged no race, we have
robbed no land, we hare nver
ciipreaaed toe weak!'
And thl is tbe face of Heaven la the
nobler thing to apeak. "
The' Apostle found in Ireland
noble material, and he made it
nobler. As the American histor
ian Towle says, "he led the Irish
Frntly," which is the only way
they can be led they can never
be drivenand when he died.
"he bad done a vast and noble
wnrlrr and his last hours were
(rliul.tanAil with a holv iJV.' at
the thought that he had led
whole nation into the Christian
fold."
BETTER TIMES COMING.
Uon. J. Taylor Ellyson, one o
the most astute business men in
Richmond, and one of the most
cautious of men in his state
ments. irives it as his deliberate
opinion that the country will now
have at least two years of pros
perity. He believes that the new
era will begin with an active
business during th3 spring
months, and that the business o
the vear will be very satisfac
tory.
Tt Is the first time since the
panic began that Mr. Ellyson
hiiA seen davlicht head and the
first time that he has felt like ad
sing his friends to invest their
W-fc . - A. I L. it

danger line has been crossed and
that the way is now clear.
Those who know what excel
lent iudcement Mr. Ellyson has
and who know how conservative
0 ij
he is in all his statements and
predictions, will take comfort in
this word of encouragement, and
weeriveit prominence, because
we have faith in the man and in
his prediction.
Sibley is in demand. Nevada
wants him for President Senator
Stewart, who carries Nevada in
his pocket when he wants to; but
kindly leaves it at the old stand
among the Rockies most of the
time, has received a telegram
rora Governor Jones stating that
Senator Stewart's Governor ap
proved resolutions indorsing Sib
ey and his silver platform. Sena'
tor Stewart doubtless forwarded
he telegram to Sibley, who will
at once put his ear to the ground
to hear which of the other pocket
States will be first to second
Nevada's motion. . Nevada has
population something less than
that of Venango county, in which
Mr. Sibley resides. Venango
isn't clamoring for Sibley, how
ever.
Horses and Sliver.
According to the silver, mono-
metal lists the low price of cotton
is attributable entirely to the sus
pension of silver coinage.
They refuse to take into ac
count the overproduction of cot
ton and wouldhave the farmers
believe that If ur government
should coin an unlimited auantitv
of silver, cotton would be. worth
a great deal more than it is now.
If cotton is thus dependent up
on silver other things must be
so too. If tbe failure of the gov
ernment to coin all the silver
that could be carried to its mints
has run down the price of cotton,
why may not the same . explana
tion be given for the wonderful
decline in the price of horses? In
1890 there were in this country
J 4.213,837 horses, and their
average va'ue was lpG9. Accord
ing to tbe Federal Agricultural
Department there are now 15,
.893,318 horses in the United
States and the average price is
only 30.
In five years the average value
of horses has fallen nearly one
half. .The free silver men me
tal lists,, where the raising of
horses is " a leading industry,
howl the same tune that we bear
from the silver monometallists
In the cotton belt The suspen
sion of silver coinage is the
cause and tbe sole cause of - all
the trouble. The free coinage of
silver and nQthinj else will set
things right
. The almost universal substi
tution of electric for horse power
and the inreased num ber of horses
have had nothing. to do with the
fall in price, according to free
silver philosophy. Horses are so
cheap now because there is less
demand for them than there ever
was before. Cotton is cheap now
because the supply is so far in ex
cess of the demand.
These facts are so plain that
they are recognized - by every
body except the free silver mo
nometallists. They have .only
one idea and it U impossible to
push it aside long enough to con
vince them that free silver would
not make us all rich and happy.
