Ireland.

If the dynamite policy, combined with
that of assassination, is really sanctioned
BY any influential body of Irishmen, 1t
cannot but bring disaster upon Ireland.
The popular and, no doubt, correct
belief is that but few hot heads are
responsible for these atrocities, but VINO
ever their authors may be, Ireland suffers
in consequence. There was prosper
that the land question, appealing as IL
does to the people of England and scot
land as we'll az to the Irish, would Deget
the growth of a more liberal public opinion
in the United Kingdom out
If which might result much benefit 10 the
people of Ireland. There are men in
England to-day who understand the needs
Of Ireland and are prepared TO supply
them, but they are in q very slender
minority.
To talk of achieving Irish freedom at
the swords point, or as the Nihilists of
Russia seek to overthrow despotism, is to
delude the Irish masses. ''England's eX-
tremity may be Ireland's opportunity -
but that extremity has not come and is
not likely TO be brought on by
of agitator favor. The fight for Irish free
dom. whatever measure Of it may be OBJ
tanned, must be fought not on the tented
field, but in the arena of debate. There
was a measure Of unity and concert
of action ON the land question.
Let there he harmony upon the national
question. and clear agreement as to
what to demand, and a truly national party
can be built up in Ireland. 1t will not
want Tor allies in England or friends
abroad.
Reform i'm England has been carried
mainly in recent years by extended dis
cussiOn and thorough organization. TO
expect England to cOncede Irish freedom
upon demands that are voiced in explo,
sions of dynamite and enforced by the as
sassin is the sheerest folly. No sensi-
BILE Irishman can hope to force England.
Back of the aristocracy, with its all but
invincibIe prejudice and ''pigheaded-
ness" stands the British people, just as
back of the Bourbon Kings and their
blinded courtiers stood the bone and
sinew of France.
England's journey to the goal of free
dom is far from complete, and every OPP
portunity given to those who would have
it retarded to stay her progress pro-
ceeds from the blind folly Of men who
know not what they want nor how to OBJ
tain it if they do. In community of pur-
poses and unity Of action lies the hope of
the people of England and of Ireland.
Broad gauge craftsmanship is the greatest
need of Ireland, as it is of every people
that would build what will endure.

The Cold Truth.

Let the South, at least, stand firm by
its economical faith, and comprehend
that the advantage it is beginning to have
over New England in manufacturing its
own great staple will hold equally good
against Old England and all the rest of
the world. The nearer free trade our
necessities will permit us to get the bet
ter in the long run will it be for American
manufacturers and wOrkmen; for a glut
of the markets of the whole world is prac-
tically impossible to any people ready and
willing to receive for its wares what any
other people has to offer.

Common Sense.
HontrenI HifneQ2

The English people are, we fear, losing
their heads about these Irish explosions.
They are certainly impudent and sense
less, but there is no use in the English
people giving the halfwitted perpetrators
the only satisfaction they can look for in
the matter, namely to see them angry and
actually frightened and threateningin the
vague way that was introduced by one of
Macbeth's witches, ''Ill do, I'll do, PHI
do" The fact is, there is nothing that
England can do in the premises but do
right and keep cool and hang these assas-
sins il she can catch them.

a Case in Point.

:
1t is pleasant to observe that the United
States Government is to make reprisals
upon Germany for the exclusion of the
American hog. With our protective tariff
we have practically excluded about all
that Germany cares TO import into this
country. Bismarck may relate to the
American Minister, in connection with
the american policy" which we began
and he is carrying out for Germany, the
story of the small boy who was pursued
by the goat. Being many times chased
about huge stump, finally the boy gained
on the goat and secured a firm and very
painful hold on that animal, SO that he
bleated out with pain, to which the boy
replied: 80, yes, you may baa and baa,
but I'd like to know who began this bust

A Baltimore paper expresses the hope
that before many years technical or trade
schools WILDE established as adjuncts of
the public schools in every city. ''The
wit of man." il says, ''cOuld scarcely
have devised worse method of learning
ANYTHING than that which is embodied in
our present system of apprenticeship. 1t

at ALL. It is. as it were, an awkward
bundle of old laws and still older notions,
and is us much out of place in our new
civilization as distaff and spindle
would be in New England cot
ton mill. Trade schools are not an
untried experiment, either in Eng
land or this country. The Boston
School of Mechanic Arts is in practical
operation, and the st. Louis Manual
Training School, recent institution, has
met with Gathering success. The Objec t
of these schools, as has been said, is not
TO teach special trades, but to give two or
three years preliminary mechanical edu-
cation: to teach the use of tools; to give
that practical knowledge OF woods and
metals which can only be gained by
actually working in the materials them
selves. and last, but by no means least,
to give systematic and very thorough in
struction in the art of drawing, which

New Orleans expects her fruit trade
this season to be twice as large as last
years. At present there are eight steam
ships running to New Orleans in the fruit
trade. and next season 4 new line Of
steamers will be put in the trade from
New Orleans to Palermo. The fruit ship
pers in Palermo prefer TO send their fruit
to New Orleans, for the reason that be-
tween that city and Palermo the tempera-
ture Of the water isyery nearly the same,
and the result is the fruit arrives there in
a much better condition than in New
York. 1t often reaches the latter place in
very damp condition. and sometimes is
frozen.

Cheap Coffee.

According 10 reports of the crop and
action taken by the coffee growing coun-
tries since the opening of the new year.
coffee drinkers should now be luxuriating
in the genuine article, free Of pebbles,
trash and chiccory, at an unusually low
price. Minister Osborne, at Rio JanelrO,
as appears in the consular reports recent
" issued from Washington, as late
as February the 18th, gave notice
TO his government of bill pending in the
House of Deputies for a reduction of the
tax on coffee to 3 per cent. This bill did
not pass, but another was introduced re-
ducing the export duties on coffee, sugar,
cotton and mate , per cent, which did pass
and went into operation on the 9th of
February.
The effect of this reduction on the cof-
fee market, he says, was very great, as 1t
gave to those who were holding coffee in
foreign markets, and TO those who had
shipped Just prior to the 18th the disad-
vantage of competing with those who
had the benefit of the reduction. The
planters, continued Mr.. Osborne. com
plain that with this reduction, even they
will meet with immense losses on this
years crops, as the yield is enormous,
and the foreign markets being overstOcked
the selling price is kept very low. In
some instances planters are gathering
but nart of crop, as they say it will not
pay to transport it to market. The for
mer government tax on coffee exported
was Q Oer cent, to which was added
provincial tax of per cent, making
total of Is per cent, now reduced to II
per cent. total.
The Rio Janeiro Nelcs says this reduc-
ton is a step in the right direction and
should be hailed with pleasure.
The low price of coffee, according TO the
same reports, is seriously felt in Hayti,
the country people refusing to pick the
entire crop because it will not pay to
transport it. Tie annual crop of the is
land is 60,O00,0O0 pounds, which sold
at Sl2 Der hundred, would aggregate
81, POO, 900, but the low price it was thought
would reduce the crop TO 40,OOO,OOO
pounds, which, at 81 per hundred, the
price now paid, would make n difference
of s.. 600, 900 against the producers. This
is not a delightful showing for the coffee
planters. but indicates lower prices for
the article in the future, and as those
countries have abundant protection on
imports TO offset the little reduction of the
tax on exports they probably have less
reason TO complain than results seem
to indicate. The enormous coffee crop re-
ported shows that the industry has great
" increased and is more than equal to the
demand. Under such circumstances, why
should the prices be kept up? There is
scarcely any commodity in those cOun-
tries costing less labor and expense to
place it on the market, and if their unciv-
ilized rulers could be penetrated with the
light of removal of export taxes, coffee
could be enjoyed throughout the world at
half the prices heretofore paid.

The Philadelphia Press rises TO remark:
.'SOma of the Southern papers find some
thing in the Dukes verdict to make them
think the North is about as bad as the
South in its treatment of murderers. Not
quite. The court rebuked the jury before
they were dismissed; the people de-
nounced the verdict, and burned prisoner
and jury i'm effigy; the Legislature is ready
10 expeI the murderer as soon as he takes
his seat: and the press everywhere de-
nOunces the verdict as infamous. No
body lionizes the seducer and murderer,
and no party will run him for Congress-"
The point is why don't some one hang
him: We have been assured that muir
derers were tried and hung at the North.
