Lord Raaoonsfald's Views,

The London Daily News reproduced
the speeches made by Benjamin Dis
raeli in the Commons in 1874. Disraeli,
in summing up the Irish question, said:
Ireland is teeming with starving
population, suffers from absentee aris-
tocracy, an alien Church, and the weak
est executive in the world. The only
remedy is revolution, which is pre-
vented by connection with powerful
England. Therefore England is logi-
cally in the odious position Of being the
cause of the misery in Ireland. The
duty of an English minister, therefore,
is to effect by his policy all the changes
which revolution would do forcibly.
That is the Irish question in its in
tegrily. The moment you have a srrong
executive, religious equality, and just
administration you will have order in
Ireland" Had the British House Of
Commons followed out this plan, they
would probably have prevented q large
amount Of strife which has prevailed in
Ireland the past half century.

debate on the bill was animated and
somewhat volcanic, and recalled vivid

ing Lord Salisbury, Lord Randolph

JOHN KELLY is NO More.

He Always Lived Good Catholic and
Wished to Die g Good

John Kelly, the chief of Tammany
Hall, died at his residence in New
York city Tuesday afternoon. MIR.
Kelly had been i'll for some months.
During the last few weeks he seemed
to be comparatively well, but on Sun
day last at s p. M, he was taken with
an attack of fainting, and he became
weaker afterwards. Monday he was

however, he began to sink, and the ap-
preach OF the end was realized. He
died at 3:20. MIR. Kelly's death was
painless, though he was conscious to
the last. Only Mrs. Kelly and hex two
children were present when the patient
passed away. Mrs. Kelly was pros
trated by the blow. ~
1t was not for several hours after
Mr.. Kelly's death that the fact was
generally known throughout the city.
In fact, prominent leaders Of Tammany
hall were not aware Of it until they
were informed by reporters. At 8:20 p.
m. Police Justice German, treasurer
of Ia mmany hall, and one of Mr.. Kel-
ly's Oldest and closest personal and poi
itical friends, who lives only two blocks
from the late chiefGain's residence, did
not know that Mr.. Kelly was dead.
When the confirmed news spread
throughout the city, it was too late for
Tanmany hall, or any of the district
associations, except that of the Fourth
ward, to meet and pass resolutions of
regret. During the early evening there
were few visitors at the house Of Man
ming. Among those who did call were
Grand Sachem and Ext Congressman T..
Henry Dugro. Police Justices Duffy
and Gorman and Commissioner Bren~
nan have charge of the funeral arrange
n1ent for the family. The sexton of
the Fifth Avenue Roman Catholic
cathedral took charge of the body.
Mrs. Kelly and MIR. Kelly's sisters had
been in careful attendance upon the
sick man for long time and Mrs. Kel-
ly was thoroughly prostrated by the
final event. Late Tuesday evening,
Mr.. Brennan announced that the fun
eral would take place to-day Saturday
at the cethedral. A solemn requiem
mass will be celebrated over the re-
mains. From Mrs. Kelly Commission
er Brennan learned the incidents mark
ing Mr.. Kelly's closing hours. He
knew he was about to die, and was per-
fectly resigned to die. II have always
tried to live as a good Catholic" he
said, 'sand wish to die a good Catho-
lie. 7 wish for the services of the
Church when / am dead, but want no
demonstration, no display. I want my
funeral to be plain and simple"
Undertaken Hart has embalmed the
remains and they will be buried in Cal
vary cemetery i'll the plot where lie the
remains of Mr.. Kelly's first wife and
the children of whom she was the
mother. DR.. Edward Keyes, who at
tended Mr.. Kelly throughout his illness
says that his patient had been in fail
ing health for two years. The nerve
forces were impaired and all the func-
tions we're deranged in consequence.
He made strong efforts to regain his
health, but they were all futile. He
finally acknowledged that it was USE
less to hope for recovery and for six or
eight mohths past he had confessed he
was dying. At times he was much de-
pressed in spirits, but at no time was
his intelligence impaired. He retained
that throughout.
