Louisville Commercial.
reporter for the Commercial called upon the
Hon. Jonas Howard, at his residence in Jeffer-
sonvlle last night. and found him chatting with
d number Of friends. He had not yet heard of
tie withdrawal of his Democratic opponent and
when informed by the Commercials representa-
tive he manifested considerable surprise, but
said nothing more than that he did not believe
the report to be true. The reporter called at
Major Edward Harbison's residence, on Pearl
street, and found him and the Hon. James K
Marsh engaged in close conversation The
Major and Mr.. Marsh have been Stockslager's
warmest supporters in the contest for the nomi-
nation, and, in fact, have engineered the whole
matter for Colonel Stocksager They had
heard the report, but both discredited it.
They did not believe that Mr. Stock
slayer would, if he intended to withdraw
allow the matter to be made public through tho
newspapers without first informing them, and
they thought that 1t is only scheme of his enc
mics to injure his chances. The friends OF How
ard have claimed all along that should Stocksla-
ger remain the track, Mr.. Howard would beat
both Stockslager and the Republican candidate.
Stocksagers friends have said the same in re-
gard to Howard. They think Stockslager could
easily beat the Republican candidate and How
ard. Well-informed Democrats who are I'M
prejudiced In their opinions think that if How
ard and Stockslager were to both remain on the
track Republican would DO elected, and that 1t
would be folly for the latter to resign his posi-
ton as assistant commissioner in the General
Land Office to make the race for Congress with
a Democrat and Republican both running against
him.

IN the convention in session in the city of
Chicago are represented the two wings of
the party directly interested in the securing of
home rule for Ireland-those who are foolish
enough to dream of a demand bscE;d by a
threat Of force if it is not granted, like Fin
erty and O'Donovan Rossa and those others
who are wiser. and are content to go about
this most serious work with the patience and
patriotism that will secure the desired con-
cessions as soon as anybody could, and who
expect to achieve their victory by peaceful
and thoroughly honorable means. It is an
easy thing for men like the fiery Finerty and
the braggart Rosa to fight the battles OF Ire
land at long range with good three thousand
miles between them and danger, but it is a
very different thing for man like Michael
Davitt to remain on the ground after suffering
imprisonment and having his health shattered
by it. Davitt and his fellow-patriots expect
to stay in Ireland and to do all that can be
done to hasten the day when fuller justice
shall be done the Irish people. Reforms of
such magnitude are not accomplished in
a day, and clustering will not help the mat
ter a particle AS to the employment OF
dynamite and recourse to murderous methods.
such as have been suggested and urged by
certain Irishmen this side of the Atlantic,
these things should not be listened to, since
every time this advice is followed the cause
of Ireland is badly damaged. The civilized
world is in close sympathy with the Irish
people, and would like to see them delivered
from the thralldom under which they have
so long aud so unjustly suffered; but there is
no popular sentiment indorsing the employ
that end. There is universal sympathy for
the subjects of the Car, but there is nothing
but adherence for the scoundrels who re-
sort to assassination. The man who uses
dynamite and breaches the doctrine of covert
murder is the enemy of organized society,
and is a drawback to those who want
the same reforms but who are above
the methods of the lurking murderer
who seeks to take his victim at disadvantage
There is nothing manly in it. nothing cou-
rageous. What Ireland needs now more than
anything else to forward her interests is
friends of manly, patriotic pattern. OF
these she has many already; bat she also has
some who undo the good accomplished almost
as fast as it is done. These latter should be
kept in the background as much as possible,
though this is hard to do, as they are generally
the ones to make the most noise. Let the
cause of Irish liberty be based on the loftiest
principles, and fought out on plans that those
who carry forward the work may never have
occasion to be ashamed of. This is possible
if only the better men in the movement will
assert themselves, and have the courage to de-
nounce all methods that cannot be counter
anced by the civilized world. There is some
thing peculiarly heroic in revolution, but for
the assassin. the boycotter, the fellow who
commits outrages by stealth, there can be
nothing but contempt.

THE RUGBY GAME.
Foot-Fsan and Its Attendant Pleasures
at an English School.

FOot-Ball and Its Attendant sPleasures''
at an English School.
Football is the great Rugby game
and is played principally during the
Christmas term. IA Rugby boy,'' says
a late head of the school-house, ''looks
forward to it in the summer and regrets
it in the spring. He honors good foot
ball players and despises poor players.
He will talk football in season and out
of season." Rugby football is quite
different from the Eton and Harrow
game. 1t is much rougher, though Rug
beians now sigh over It, and declare that
it is not played half so viciously as it
used to be! 1t is true that it has been
shorn Of some of its terrors since the
days of the mighty contests between the
Upper Bench, or first twelve Of the sixth
form, and the rest of the school, when
the game became battle, and the head
master had to interfere and stop tho
match, because it was SO little
like play. That was in the brave
uhJo Va Olu. 1uOb6 Olu ways nave
been changed. Not very long ago rules
were made declaring that: Though it
is lawful to hold any player in a maui,
this holding does not include attempts
to throttle or strangle, which are totally
opposed to all the principles of the
game" And again: mo one wearing
projecting nails OF iron plates on the
soles or heels Of his boots or shoes
shall be allowed to play" This gives
a pleasant idea of what the game onca
was. The terms s'mauling' and
''scrimmage," still in use, show what
the game now is in its milder form.

A BLOODY RELIC.
The Sword Which Decapltated Twenty
four Followers OF Huss.

The Sword Which Decapltated Twenty
four Followers OF Huss.
Rev. J. B. Hayes, who preached re-
Gently in Allegheny, in the course Of his
address exhibited curious relic Of an
cient days and bloody times, in the shape
Of sword. The historic sword was
brought from Bohemia to Edinburgh,
Scotland, where it was sold at auction
for fifty dollars in 1878, and was bought
by party Of Bohemian students, who
presented it to Professor w. G. Blake.
Professor Blaikie lent it to DIR. w. Breed,
who allowed Rev. Mr.. Hayes to bring it
to America. 1t is a huge, double-edged
weapon, four feet in length and inoreas-
ing in width from the point to the hilt
where it is six inches from edge to edge.
The hilt is leather-covered, tipped with
fancifully designed iron knob, and is
sufficiently long to allow it to be grasped
with both hands. On the 21st OF June.
1921, the sword was used by the public
executioner to behead twenty-seven men.
including twenty-four Bohemian knights,
mobiles and gentry, followers Of Huss,
who took up arms against the Austrians.
These men surrendered with the under.
standing that they were to undergo no
punishment, but the treaty was disro-
garded, and at sunrise on the morning
in question they were led to the block.
On the leather handle Of the sword In
gold letters Ii German text are the
words: "Tbe deed was done on june
21. 1921, !" and on the side Of the blade.
