culcatcd principles which were eternal and
indestructible, but he was disappointed Il.
the outcome of the agitation. When the
whole Irish race had rallied to the cry for
the abolition of landlordism, the league had
by one tremendous swoop of the govern.
ment been arrested in its career. The gov
eminent had been furnished with pretext
for action by outragcs committed by some OF
the Irish people. Pleading for Justice at
Westminster, he said, was useless. The
people should rely upon Irish determination
at home to arraign landlordsm before the
civilized world rs the cause of the crime and
disorder.
The farmer Hogan who was shot in the
thigh at Ballina last Saturday died yester-
day.
Bishop Walsh, of London, Ontario, who
has just returned from visit to Ireland,
Sunday referred to the Irish question. He
condemned in scathing terms the asrarian
crimes, but quoted statistics to show thai
there was less crime in Ireland proportion
ately than in England, Scotland and Wales.
While opposing the disintegration of the
empire, the Bishop favored home rule for
Ireland similar to that enjoyed by Canada.

Achille and Luc;en Murat.

Joachim Murat, one of Napoleon Bon
abartes most famous marshals, and sub
sequently King of Naples, married
Caroline Bonapart, sister of Napoleon
l. He left two sons and two daughters.
The latter married Italian noblemen.
the former, named respectively Napol-
con Achille and Napoleon Lucien
Charles, are the subjects of this inquiry.
After the dethronement and execution
of their father, in 1914, they followed
their widowed mother into exile. In
1921, when but 20 years old, Achille
came to the United States, where he
soon married grand niece of Presi-
dent Washington, and settled near
Tallahassee, Fla, where he died in
1S47. He wrote moral and Political
View of the United States" and sever
al essays on scientific and social ques-
lions. Lucien was moro ambitious.
When but % years of age he went to
Spain, where he was soon arrested on
charge of political conspiracy, and
thrown into prison. As soon as he'was
set at liberty he came to this country,
where he quickly lost whatever capital
he had. He married Miss Fraser, an
American lady, who at one time sup
ported herself and him by teaching.
The French revolution in 1S4S. which
raised his cousin, Louis Napoleon, to
the Presidency of the new Republic,
frightened the fortunes of the family.
and Lucien was elected to the Constit-
uent and afterward to the Legislative
Assembly. In 1S49 he went as Minis
ter Pienipotentiary to the Court Of
Turin. In 1852 he was made Senator,
and bore his part III the coup d'etat by
which Louis Napoleon transformed the
Republic in a day into the second EN-
Fire, and vauited from the Presidency
to the Imperial throne. In 1853 Lucien
received the title of Prince of the I'M
perial family, and when the Bourbons
were expelled from Naples in 1860, he
aspired to the throne of the. two Sicilies.
This threatened trouble with the Ital-
ians, and he was constrained by Napo-
leon to publicly renounce his preten-
tons. He fought in the Franco Ger
man war and was captured with Bazaine
at Metz, which may be considered the
end of his career.

An argument for Prohibition.

To the Editor of the Globe:
S1R-In your editorial on prohibition
dec. 29) you state that "prohibition is a
failure" and in proof thereof you say
Maine is monument of its failure
Maine enacted prohibitory law in 1851,
and with the exception of two years (1S56
and 1857, has remained the law of the
state up to the present time. Now, Maine
has had sufficient time to prove the fact of
its success Or failure. Why do not the
people of Maine repeal the law if it is such
failure? No party dares to come out in
opposition toit. Both parties, Republican
and Democratic, are in favor of prohibition
in Maine. Is it not surprising that the peo-
pie of Maine have not discovered the fact
of its failures s the editor of the GLOBE has ?
Or is it true that people who never saw
Maine know more about its laws than tho
people who live there!
You refer to Gov. Foster as a prohibi-
ZIONIST, which is not the fact He is the
champion of your regulation" policy.
And +he liquor dealers refused to be regu-
lated. and temperance mon did not be-
lieved in the policy, SO between the two
tn. Republican party of Ohio fell in the
mud.
Again, if prohibition in Kansas is a
failure, and more liquor is consumed than
ever BEFORE" why did the LIQUOR men
spend $4,000 to defeat Gov. st. John
Why do the liquor leagues all over the
lard fight prohibition? Why Go
they not help us and do all they
can to secure prohibition!
Again. if, according to Gov.-elect Click,
1.-THE majority of the people of Kansas are
opposed to prohibition" why did they elect
the balance of the Republican ticket by
such large majority, which stood on pro-
hibition platform?
| The report of the warden of the state
prison of Kansas reports during the year
1880, (license Year, there were received 29O
convicts. In 1881, with only eight. months
of prohibition only 1873 were received.
The government tax in 1881 on distilled
liquors was only twelve cents per capita.
while Illinois, under regulation laws, was
$3.50.
These are public facts. not private. How
do you explain them? Must we conclude
that the people of Maine are fools. and
that the warden of the Kansas penitentiary
and the officers of the government are IL
ars?
Your discovery must be good news to the
liquor dealers of Minnesota, and we now
shall expect the liberty league to unite with
US III securing prohibitory law at once in
Minnesota. We shall see. Yours.
