they are left behind in the stubble when

defy the local authorities. To-day Coy

Sheriff of each county saying that
he had been requested to call

no necessity for doing so, and urging the
Sheriffs to call out large posses and hunt
the outlaws down. The country infested

Il IL notorious fact that in the FIRST thrco

laturo tho members do little or no work In

The great evil Of this waste Of time IL seen
in the closing days Of the session. when bills
are rushed through with such speed and
amid 80 much confusion that few members
really know what they are doing. A look at
the volumes OF tho statutes discloses the fact
that in late years more bills were passed In

There IL evidently room for reform In the
administration Of the office Of the Sheriff Of
Kings county. Under any suitable system
Of management at the Raymond street jail
In Brooklyn It would have been impossible
for JOHN KENNY, the bill poster, under con-
viction of murder In the second degree, to
obtain possession Of the pistol with which he
killed himself on Friday evening.
Our reporter was informed by tho jail
authorities that the utmost care had been
taken to prevent this man from destroying
himself. In view Of the facts, however, this
statement is preposterous.
The violent character Of the criminal was
known not only from the particular homicide
OF which hc had just been convicted, but by
long series Of offences against the law, In
Guiding humorous murderous assaults: yet
such a man scems to have had no difficulty
In procuring . six-barrelled bulldog re-
volver with every chamber loaded, notwith-
standing that he was In close custody and
ought constantly to have been under the

would he have been allowed to keep 1t as

failed to detect that.

prisonment for life. Their business was to
see to 1t that no prisoner in their charge
should obtain q deadly weapon. with which
he might easily have slain others, II he had
been so disposed, as well as himself.
How do they know, or how does anybody
know. that he did not, In fact, originally pro-
cure the revolver with the idea OF killing
somebody elsep His character and career
would certainly warrant such supposition.

Rum In the Constitution.

Nothing IL moro certain than that the pro-
hibltory laws Of Maine have had the fairest
sort Of trial. under the most favorable cir
cumstances. Statistics do not show that
they have accomplished what the friends Of
temperance hoped from them. The prohibi-
tory system has not stopped the sale Of
liquor In Maine; It has not put an end to
drunkenness; 1t has not diminished crime
But the advocates Of the system maintain
that It Is successful, ON the whole: that 1t
works about % we'll os any system can that
is the creation Of human fallibility.
We learn with surprise that the Maine pro-
hibitionists--who have procured from sue
cessive Legislatures nearly everything they
have asked, short Of legislation actually
making crime OF the act Of drinking-now
propose to incorporate prohibition In the
State Constitution by amendment.

st the close Of last year; but instead Of
opening . debate upon them here 1t this
time, We prefer to present them In his own
language to American readers. and let them
pas for what they are worth.
There are two minor points Of curious
kind at which Mr.. CITIZEN glances In the
course Of his argument-the decline Of the
relative importance Of France to Europe at
large, and that Of Ireland to Great Britain,
within the present century. In 1915 France
was second to Russia only in numbers, but
now, 80 far "a population is concerned. she 10
the fourth Of the five great powers, and must
soon be the lowest, for the census Of every
year shows how rapidly even Great Britain
is overtaking her. These facts correspond
very closely with the transfer OF military
preponderance on tho Continent from France
to Germany, and with the increasing promi-
hence Of RUSSIA, which would probably be
much more felt but for the simultaneous
growth Of Germany.
Look next at the Irish question from o sta
tistical point Of view. Ireland at the Begin
ming Of the century held about one-third OF
tho population OF the United Kingdom; as
lato as 1910 It still held very nearly one
third; now its population Is only one-sev-
enth. In Mr.. GIFFEN's opinion this fact SIM
pllfles the Irish question for English states
men. He says that every one must have
been struck during the last few years by the
calmness Of the English people In pres
ence Of Irish agitation, and the evident hope
lessness Of any instruction arising out OF
that agitation. Forty, fifty, eighty years
ago things were entirely different, the Irish
difficulty being then incessantly spoken OF as
most menacing, which, indeed, 1t was The
present calmness and the former apprehen-
sion are obviously duo very much to q
mere change in population numbers,
which makes q vast change In Ireland's
power of mischief against u State Of Eng
lands present greatness. Any possible In
surrection In Ireland now is as nothing to the
power OF the United Kingdom compared with
what 1t would have been when ireland held o
third OF the whole population. We presume
that Mr.. CITIZENS references to another
feature Of the Irish question portend serious
changes in Ireland's Parliamentary repre-
sentation. When Irelands proportion OF the
population OF the United Kingdom was one
third she secured 105 members Of Parliament,
but now that it has fallen to one-seventh
she Is really entitled to no more than -, OF
which, he says, one-third would be from
Ulster, and not Home Rulers. He holds that
the present Parliamentary difficulty. os re-
CARDS ireland, must disappear as soon as the
representation Of the country is adapted to
the relative decline In its population; and we
presume that it Is through such an adapta-
ton that Mr.. GLADSTONE, as soon as no un-
dertakes the regulation Of Parliamentary
apportionment. will reduce the troublesome
ness of the Irish members in the House OF
Commons.
Take it all in oil. regarding both the
larger questions and the lesser, we repeat
that Mr.. GIFFEN's discourse is pregnant
with suggestions Of concern to mankind now

ing II repeated dissolutions were needed to
extort tho assent Of the popular Chamber.
When, therefore, the Pope shows . DISPOSE

proves that he understands the stu
