The Daughter of John Stuart Mill.

Henry George in Irish World.
 I had shortly after the pleasure of meet ing John Stuart Mills loved step daughter and literary executor, the child of his heart and mind, Miss Helen Taylor, and to find her doing what was confident John Sturat Mill would have been doing were he now alive-giving comfort and counsel to those whom this so-called lib- eral government are trying to stamp out i; denouncing, as he would have denounced, the shameful crime that is trampling lib- erty under foot in Ireland.
 Miss Taylor came over last week to make some suggestions and to offer her aid to Land league in little meeting in which there was formed the Political Prisoners Aid society, an organization designed to be in readiness to carry on the work should the Ladies' Land league be suppressed by the government, and of which Miss Taylor was elected president.
 The meeting was most impressive one. Like gathering of the faithful in time of persecution seemed that little party of women in the upper chamber with its closed doors, through which the police might at any moment burst. In 8 low voice Miss Parnell read letters from the parish priest and village surgeon, giving datails of the terrible bntchery at Belmul- let, and then Miss Taylor was called upon to speak. You have heard by telegraph of hot oI 1,1,% &lo pathos and fire of indignation that breath ed and burned in her words no report can convey.
 There is about Miss Taylor not the faint est suggestion of those unpleasant charac- teristics that so many associate with what they term s'strong-m A most womanly woman, in the full maturity of her powers, her beautiful face, radiant with sweetness and intelligence-every word, and tone, and movement that of the as I listened to her earnest words of sym pathy with the down-trodden, and of scorn for their tyrants. the most impressive speaker had ever heard. Her voice fall tered with emotion, and the solemn still ness of the room was broken by suppressed sobs as she alluded to the stories which Miss Parneu had been reading, of the murder of old women and young girls, of the brutal treatment of the idiot lads and blind boys by drink-maddened consta- bulary. It thrilled with womanly indigna- tion as she denounced the government that exists to-day in Ireland as fit to be compared only with that of the ''unspeak- able Turk" as she arrainged the minister who is responsible for it as cruel and un- scrupulous tyrant, and predicted the retri- button that must surely follow such crimes. And when she spoke her shame as an Eng ishwoman that such tyranny should be upheld in the name and by the power of England, and pledged her sympathy and support to her Irish sisters who were fight ing the battle of human liberty and com mon humanity, wished her voice could have rung through every home in England, for felt that what she said must be true, and that when the English people really came to realize the truth about Ireland, the governn ent that was responsible for the tyranny that reigns here must be hurled from power.

HERBERT SPENCER. !

However much the giving of political power to women may disagree with our notions of propriety, we conclude that, being required by that first prerequisite to greater happiness, the law of equal free dom. such a concession is unquestionably right and good"
 HENRY THOMAS BUCKLE.
 '"The turn of thought of women, their habits of mind, their conversation, insensi- bly extending over the whole surface of society, and frequently penetrating it's inti- mate structure, have, more than all other things put together, tended to raise us from the dust in which we are too prone to grovel."
 REV. CHARLES KINGSLEY.
 "One principal cause of the failure of so many magnificent schemes, social, polit- ical, religious, which have followed each other age after age, has been this, that in almost every case they have ignored the rights and the powers of one,half of the human race-viz., woman. l believe that nothing will go right; that politics will not go right, that society will not go right, that religion will not go right, that noth- ing human ever will go right except in sc far as woman goes right; and to make wo, man go right she must be put in her place. and she m1ssst have her r&ghts';; and as tc what those rights are I have very definite opinions, which shall not give up for any arguments which seem likely to meet with in this present generation"

BAD BILLS At ALBANY.

I'm the excitement of the struggle for the
Senatorships members of the Legislature are
apt to overlook the defecta of measures which
are before them. Hasty legislation is the curse
of the closing days of Every session, and when
to the hurry of legislators eager to close up
their work and get away is added the stress
and strain of such contest as that now in
progress. iobbers and lobbyists have Oppor-
tunities which they will not fail to improve.
1t is the duty Of every honest Assemblyman
and Senator to be especially careful in his
scrutiny of bills and amendments at this time
The men interested in jobs and public plumber
are even more alert than usual. The guardians
OF public interests shond therefore redouble
their vigilance.
The Assembly should examine with great
care the Senate amendments to the bill for re-
paving Fifth-ave. AS originally introduced this
bill contained job of the worst kind. II pro-
posed TO put the matter in the hands of an
incompetent Commission, made up of men with
no qualifications for an undertaking of this kind,
and it appropriated a sum far in excess of the
needs of the work. These bad features of the
measure were exposed in the Assembly, and the
bill was so amended AZ to spoil the scheme Of
the 1ODDcrS. NOW tne CfHdtc HhS DttH III
duccd TO raise the appropriation from
the $25O,OOO allowed by the Assembly
to 100000, and give the work into
the charge of q Commission instead of the
Commissioner of Public Works. No good
reason has been shown why the public officer
to whose department such matters properly
belong should not have control Of this re-
paving, and the sum appropriated is extrava-
CANT. The Assembly should insist on the
passage Of the bill as it was sent to the Sem
ate. If the Assembly fails in its duty the
Governor should veto the bill. We can much
better afford to wait n year before repavinG
Fifth-ave than to waste the public money in
doing badly and extravaGantly work which
should he done thoroughly but with econ
oUb.
Bills to pay old claims against the city are
also appearing in the Legislature. They should

Guilty in getting payment from the present

think is due them, tile courts are open. Men

will not stand the scrutiny Of the courts de-

them in their raids On the City Treasury
should be marked for retirement to private

While the railroads gained very little in
grain, they gained 100000 barrels in -four,
and much of it was diverted from water routes.
The state of traffic certainly gives the railroads
no occasion for complaint or quarrellng.
The petroleum business has been unusually
heavy for some weeks past, and the exports to
date are now the largest ever made during the
first five months of the year. In May the cx-
ports were 32,4O7,915 gallons against
1896, $50 in 1890 The outward movement
of provisions and breadstuIs also began to i'm
prove toward the close Of last month. The
volume of business was very large last week.
With only five business days, and great
diminuton in speculative dealings, the ex-
changes neverthclcss amounted to $9l9, 1891 500
which equivalent to more than 81, 100, 000,0OO
for full week. Crop reports are very con-
hicting, as is usual at this season. when the
farmer who wants to sell at high prices, and the
operator who wants to buy ut low prices rival
each other in wealth of misinf0rmation. But
the tenor of accounts during the past week has
been more favorable "a to Kansas and Ne
braska, and parts of Illinois, and less favora-

One Of the least pretcntous of the anniversary

Peace Association held at the Rev. DR.. Bellowss

speakers, VI. Fczandc, from Geneva. Switzerland,
expressed the opinion that the Of deciding
international differences by courts of arbitration
was assuming a favorable aspect in Europe. and
diplomatists he thought. attached great weight to
IT, There Is undoubtedly n stronger tendency 10
adjust disputes by negotiation and by arbitration
but the fact remains that the strongest power in
Europe to-day is strong because it is great military
power and has shown the world that ii cannot with
impunity be mcd,llel with. protracted wars are
less likely to occur now than formerly for various
reasons. One of these is the possibility f rapidly
Transporting troops The question still remains
however whether there is less inclination to engage
in ho,tilites upon moral grounds than formerly
Arbitration is morc economical undoubtedly but
IN any case in which arbitration should fail, would
france Prussia or England hesitate to engage in
war because il is wicked and wastcfuli The dis
tinction is worth bearing in mind because
is one thing for a nation to remain at peace when

cline n resort to arms because it would be wicked.
The small wars which continually occurring
would seem To show that there has been no absolute
change of opinion upon the abstract question.

falling off in preparations for war. Great sums are
annually spent even by bankrup, nations like Aus
tria. i'm the support Of standing armies No Euro
pean power has abandoned its military or naval
system A general disarming would show that peoples
had lively faith in arbitration, but of such a

hastily entered into they formerly were and for
this, whatever tho cause, let us be thankful!
