Parnell and separation Public opinion,
crystallizing fast 10 favor OF Irish home
rule, decided long ago that separation
means blood. The Nationalist campaign
has been one-sided. Parnell debating
and Gladstone yielding. Nothing 10
Parnell's demands touched EnGland's
safety. but separation sounded the death

careful survey of the registration Of
the 1900, 900 newly enfranchised rural
voters yields extraordinary results. The
Conservatives have completely outgener-
aled the Liberals all n~er the field. 10
many districts where the Liberals expect
ed to poll large vote, IL was found that
the laborcrs would have to walk several
miles 10 deposit their ballots. They,
therefore, procured the insertion of a
clause providing that no voter should be
compelled 10 walk more than three miles
10 polling station. Blu. singularly
enough noprovision was made for polling
places TO render this clause workable. The
question OF accommodation was left en-
tirely 10 local officials. An examina-
ton Of the polling places selected by
the Sheriff reveals the fact that voters
generally will have to walk from five,
six and possblv even seven miles across
country, no other means Of locomotion
being procurablc. The joke Of the
thing Is that the walkers on their
weary journey will have 10 pass poll.
Ing places belonging to other districts
similarly treated. The manner in which
the whole business has been muddled by
the Liberal managers and contrived bv
the Conservatives is exasperating the
Liberal chiefs and causing unlimited re.
locing at the Carlton.
