JrtTzn MCCAnTHY, i1•l. P.—Tho Direct -
ore of the Moohaniae' Institute have sc-
oured the celebrated lecturer, mentioned
above, for Tuesday, Nov. 28rd. Itis sub-
ject is "The Cause of Ireland." The fol-
lowing brief sketch of Mr. McCarthy will
be of interest :—Three men stand head
and shoulders above all the Irishmen of
the day, and these three leaders of a na-
tion aro, Miehml Davitt, the originator,
Parnell, the loader, and Justin McCarthy,
the writer and thinker. The first two
mon have an immense power over their
fellow -countrymen, and can do with them
almost what they will so long as they con-
jure with the name of Ireland, but the
third has the respect and confidence of an
immense number of, the readers of Eng-
lish who are not Irish, and his influence
isproduativeof more good to the cause he
serves than le that of any other member
of the home Bulo party. Justin Mo.
Oarthy is and has always been a journal-
ist. He was born in Cork in 1830, and
after serving 1{is apprenticeship on a
local journal, he became a leader writer
in the Liverpool Northern Times when
only twenty-three years of ago. In 1860
he was a House of Commons reporter for
es London paper, the Morning Star, and
after filling the foreign editor's chair for
a time he, in 1868, became the editor of
that journal. In 1864 he came to Amer-
ica, and spent three years in the United
Setae, during which period he was a con-
stant contributor to the daily and month-
ly press. On his return to England he
became a loader writer upon the London
Daily News, and this position he held up
to a few months ago, when a change in
the managementtaking plane he resigned.
In 1879 he was first returned to Parlia-
ment for Longford, and he has since fill-
ed that seat. When it became publicly
known that Justin McCarthy had thrown
in his lot with the Land Leaguers, a very
groat number of persona who had looked
upon that body as a species of "Pope's
Brass Band," began to 'regard it With
other eyes, and from the time of his ac-
cession to the ranks of the League may
be dated that slow change of opinion that
at last resulted in the establishment of
the Land Courts. By Englishmen gen-

suj)9nsltlon5. He telt,) admits
that his Canadian kips aro too
large. What is tn''rtltt by kips
being ton large? It simply means
that they aro as uineh cowhide its
kip. When a calf skin is large
and weighs when tanned '1 to 5
lbs. it is called a kip, and when a
kip is large and weighs 9 & 10
lbs. it is called cowhide. Wo
understood that i1Tr. Shand's kips
weigh 9 and 10 lbs. Will 14 Tr.
Shand be able to see the point ?
if he cannot let him bring over
one of his best Canadian kips and
compare them with our bust cow-
hide, and see all 'the difference
there is. 1\Ir. 81118011 wants to
change the subject, leo started to
discuss Boots and Leather 1811rd
now he Wants to discuss "Adam
Good." But wo are not going to
discuss "Adam Good" that wquld
be too small a subject, nor 11'e
wont discuss Mr. Shltnd, for that
subject is too large, but we will
discuss Leather. We aro right
at 1)0101e on that question, 05900-
ialiy when wo know so well that
we have tho best leather. lar:
Shand in last week's Posr men-
tions a certain gentleman's name
and says that that gentleman
gave us no authority to use his
opinion in the matter. 'Wo are
thankful to Mr. Shand for saying
so because it shows that there is
no collusion between this gentle-
man and us, 1v0 aro using the
transaction between us against
his will ; we are sorry for it but
it is very valuable to us,
It shows conclusively to any one who
will examine the following farts who it is
that ie cutting the best loather in Brea -
eels. This gentleman who is a tanner by
profession end well knows all about leather
went to Mr. Shand to buy a good kip but
he could not get what he wanted. Mr.
Shand explains that his were too, large
and we reply that good kips never aro
largo. This gentlemen went a second
time to Mr. Shand's establishment to get
a good kip hut he could not get it. We
can imagine Mr. Shand assuring him then
it was genuine "slaughter" kip but it felt
very much like cowhide, he might have
even said it was 'Excel! ' but than
it weighed 9 or 10 lbs. Mr. Shand offered
it at a low price bet the customer said it
was quality he::was After, so leaving Mr.
Strand's great establishment in disgust he
came soros to us and bought an Imperial
Kip weighing about 6 lbs. at 75e. per ]b.
This one fact we consider worth a dozen
First
prizes, that Mr. Shand
is making
such m fuss about. We charge the very
same price for Boots made of our superior
leather that other shops do of their in-
ferior.
We exhibited our leather at the Fall
Show here and got a first prize, Mr. Shand
says it was bogus. Well, all wo know
about the matter is that we entered it
with the Secretary, be gave us No. 65 the
same as was on our boots, we found a red
ticket on our loather and our name was
published in Tue PosT among aha prize
winners. If there is anything Bogus
abort that, we will fool obliged, if Mr.
Shand will point it out.
Three out of every four people that we
made boots for last Fall do not. need any
new boots this winter. If our boots wore
out in a year se some people's do we
would require additional room to accom-
modate shoemakers. Three out of every
four people that wo matlo boots for this
fall are either new onetonors or ones that
we made for two years ego and whose
boots are about done.
Other shoemakers can use this quality
of leather if they are willing to pay the
price for it, but it pays bettor to urn
slaughter" kip, "Exaelleiesinms" kip,
(Cowhide) "Keefer" calf, &u. and we
challenge Mr. Shand to deny it.
Wo oan now drop this discussion, Mr,
Shand having conceded every point. He
charged us with fraud at the fall show,
be has taken this beck—wont say that
any more. He boasted about the quality
of the Bal do Ills brand French loather
that he treed, we enlightened him on that
point, end he boasteth no more. He has
admitted the superiority of our Canadian
leather when he could not supply a corn•
potent judge on account of bus ]rips being
too large. Ho wont talk any more about
the size of his trips. Mr. Shand does not
do the leading shoe trade in Brussels. We
handle more shoos in a year than he does,
our material and workmanship aro super-
ior. Ilow then men he lead the trade 7 In
conclusion we have to sok Mr. Shand to
let ne alone from ibis time forward.
