"A "iSP"Sn rum w dSillhxuVlh says
The feeling engendered in. the Board OF
Indian Commissioners OH account of the
charges preferred against Commissioner
Hayt will probably end either in the
removal OF that official or the resigna-
ton of one or more members OF
the Board. The President of the
Board (Barstow) has been an en-
thusiastic friend Of Hayt. Bsrstow IL
Chairman OF she Subcommittee APP
pointed ny the Board to investigate
Hayt. This subcommittee will report
exonerating Hayt from Flsk's charges.
A resolution has been introduced in the
Senate calling upon Secretary Schrrz
for information if any member Of the
Board has. been interested in any con-
tracts for furnishing SUPPLIES to Indians.
This is terrible thrust at Barstow,
who is President Of the Barstow Stove
Manufacturing Company Of Rhode
Island, which is alleged to have had
contracts with Hayt for furnishing
stoves to the various Indian Offices.
A dispatch from hontlon says: John
Bright, in his speech at Birmingham
Saturday, suggested that Parliament
appoint a commission to 90 to Dublin.
with power to sell the farms of the
landlords 30 the tenants who are willing
to buy them, and to advance three
fourths of the purchase money therefor,
principal and interest to be repaid in
35 years. Such measure Bright said
he believed would naeec the Mants and
satisfy the desires of the Irish people.
The commissioners to assist tenants to
purchase whenever the landlord was
willing to SELL Esight recommends
compulsory sales only where the land
is owned by London companies or
guilds, as is the case with largs tracts
near Londonderry. He expressed the
conviction, however. that if his plan
were adopted, self-interest or public
opinion would soon compel Individual
landlords TO sell to their tenants
The. London Times IN leading edi-
torial article commenting on the pro-
posed increase of the German army,
says: What is disturbing in the matter
is the vivid revelation it affords of the
terrible condition of the armed truce
in which Europe exists from day to day.
The wisdom and firmness Of the states
man may avert collision Of these
armed forces. But such an achieve
ment viii need incessant Sigi1aItce and
patience. At such time England
ought to hold herself as free as possible
FROM all unnecessary entanglements, in
ocder to be able, if necessary, to make
her voice heard at some critical mo-
ment when the, whole course of Eu-
ropeau history might be hanging in the
balance. Far greater issues to the
world are, now at stake in Europe than
IN any other quarter of the globe, and in
deciding them England may have a still
more benedcent part tnplay than ever
she has yet fulfilled. To play it she
must, be strong, and she should be at
peace.
