ration Of Ireland. They have already
created such dissensiens in the Liberal
ranks as to render any prospect Of the
success of Gladstone's measures practi-
cally out of the question, unless a strong
body of Conservatives come to his res

their own plans to present, and upon
these they hope to divide the Irish Ma.

from the Premier's side. II they accom-
lief measures for Ireland are concerned,
is out OF the question this session OF
Parliament. Parnell and his followers
are patiently waiting for Gladstone to
unfold his scheme, which he will do one
week from to-day. In the meantime
Ireland is uneasy, uncertain OF her fu-
ture. her peasantry starving and her peo-
pie on the eve of revolt. The outlook is
a gloomy one for that unhappy people.
not the least OF whose misfortunes is the
bitterness existing between certain re-
ligious classes, ard out of which civil
war may at any time be precipitated.

Austin bankers after that extension of

Arkansas Pass is looming up MasOnically.
WITH Arkansas Pass and deep water AT
her back door, and the illimitable pos
sibiities Of her prospective northwest

The ways Of the State Land Board,

BORING for whisky beats boring for
oil as a genuine Texas home industry
and requires less capital. The main re-
quirements area thirsty soul, big
jug, an auger, a section of lead pipe, a
location under whisky store-rOOm and
a favorable opportunity. 1t is a regular
suckers game, is usually played alone
and beats two pair.

WHEN the Appropriation Committee
of Congress awarded S2G5,O0O to Sabine
Pass and one half that amount to Aran-
sas Pass. they acted on the principle
that "he that asketh receiyeth." San
Antonio and the whole Southwest have
been mum as oysters on the Arkansas
Pass claims, while the entire State press
has been lifting up its voice for Sabine
Pass like the roar of many waters. San
Antonio can preserve more mysterious
silence when her own interests are in
the balance than any city Of her size we

San Antonio ever gets what she is en-
titled to from the parental government
on the Potomac, she will have to make
a louder claim on the cash box of the

The Dallas Morning News has little

The New York Sun sizes up the Kan
