TIE London Times says:

In all candor and kindliness we ask the
American people 10 rid their minds OF preju-
dices and recognize that the denunciation by
Irishmen OF England are NOT now justified,
but refer 10 by.gone history. We do not ask
the United States to put down organized ruff
nanism which pretends to impunity and en-
couragement under their dag. II they do not
beetir themselves for their own character aud
COMFORT they are little likely TO do so to oblige
England, but they should recognize facts. The
whole OF England is convinced that the gov
ernment has dealt generously with Ireland,
but must resist the demands OF secessionis
Americans do not in thelr hearts believe
that all Enslishmen arc hypocrites and ty-
rants, and should consider the effect OF reck-
less Language and cease saying what they do
not think.
This is taffy, but not good article. The
fact is vast majority OF the people Of
this country believe that the dcnunciations
by Irishmen of England are justified by
the facts of the present and do not refer to
by-gone history. And Americans generally
believe that Englishmen are generally
hypocrites and tyrants The belief has
come down from Revolutionary days
through the war of 1912 and the late civil
war, and has been clinohed by career OF
despotism and tyranny in all foreign lands
where the English flag floats, and is only
hardened by English misrule In Ireland.

GOVERNOR CRITTENDEN, of Missouri,
has addressed long letter to John Walker,
the State Auditor, inquiring why it was
that he refused to pay his (Crittenden's)
newspaper bill of S22.50 out of the contin-
gent fund. Mr.. Walker, in his reply, in
forms the Governor that, while it is true
there is contingent fund, he is not aware
of any law authorizing the payment out of
it of the private newspaper bills of any OF
the State officials. While it is none of our
business, we venture to suggest to the peo.
pie of Missouri that Crittenden acquired
the habit of paying all his little bills out Of
the public fund while he was member Of
Congress. Moral: Never elect an ex-mem
ber of Congress Governor.
