ONE day last week Representative Lawler,
of Chicago, offered resolution in Congress
making St. Patrick's day a legal holiday.
Perhaps because Mr. LAWYERS associates were
paralyzed with astonishment at the audacity
of the proposal no one antagonized it, and it
might have gone through had not Pennsyl-
vania member recovered his presence of mind
in time to offer an objection. Sympathy with
Irish home rule is one thing, and willing
ness to have it transferred from home to this
country, with all its appurtenances and at
tachments. is another and by no means so
universal a sentiment. AS nation America
is considerably sIrished over but not suf-
fciently to warrant the adoption Of the 18th
of March as day we must celebrate, whether
or no.

Intoxicating Liquor in the Mails.

Springfield Republican.
The liquor dealers have not been slow in
adapting to their use Postmaster general Vilass
recent order amending the postal laws so as to
allow the transmission of liquids through the
mails under certain conditions. They have long
been scheming for such an arrangement where
by they might get their liquors into prohibitory
States under protection Of the United States
mails. But the prohibtionists have dropped
upon these plans. and Ex-Governor Dingley, Of
Maine, has called Mr.. Vilass attention TO this
contemplated abuse of the rule, and asked him
to modify it so as to exclude intoxicating liquors
as we'll as other articles prohibited sold only
under State restrictions. Mr.. Villas was much
surprised that any such Interpretation could
have been given to his circular. and said he
would at once amend the regulations so as to
prevent such an abuse.

evening it was noticed that he was in particularly

death had not really come to him, and the funer-

the corpse was constantly watched for signs of
returning animation, but nothing occurred to
delay the funeral arrangements.
The burial was to take place in country

list of thirty-five Democratic Congressman
who are to be black-listed because they are not
in favor of steps toward free trade. The
G. j. thinks the voters of their respective
districts should see to it that they are not re-

these gentlemen represent their constituents

event it is hard to SEQ just what the Louisville
paper will do. 1t is safe to say it will not adj

THEY say now. that the Presidents civil
service proclamation was aimed at Commits
sioner Edgerton himself, because of that gentle
mans recent visit to Indiana to work against
the denomination Of Congressman Lowry.
Whatever way that document was aimed,
it could hardly have failed to hit Democratic
official head which it would fit as if made for
it-but Edgerton9 Surely Edgerton, the man
who was declared to be the only and original
Democratic reformer Of Indiana, and who only
lately declared that reform was booming right
along in every drection-surely he cannot
have transgressed his own rules, and trampled
upon the harmony which is said to exist be-
tween the President and the Commission until
the former was driven to retaliate. That
Edgerton is anything but reformer in full
bloom, not to say gone to Seed is too much to
believe after all that has been said about him.
