must have been Democrats of considerable
prominence for it is not at all probable that
Cote and Carter would have undertaken to
do what they did had they not supposed
there was sufficient influence behind them to
protect them if they were caught. They
must also have had money at their COM
mand, for such work as they contracted for
is likely to come pretty high. They must
have felt deep interest in the result of the
election. In short they must have belonged
to the Democratic machine of Biddeford.

when he lived in Meadville, Penn, sixteen

The Earl Of Carnavon confesses that he
encouraged Parnell to believe that the Tories
would bring in some sort Of home rule bill
if successful in the elections but denies that
he spoke by authority, Nevertheless there
is no doubt that Parnell understood that the
Earl was speaking for his party, and there is
very little that the Earl took no pains to cor
rect ParnelPs misunderstanding. This ex-
plains how it happened that SO pany Irish
men were found voting for Tory candidates
in the last election. The next time Parnell
makes trade with the Tories he viii see to
it that it is secured by something better than
the promise of one Tory leader.
Mr.. Morrison is going to try to get his tariff
bill up in the House next Thursday The
chances are against success. In the first
place It's extremely doubtful if on its merits
there would be sufficient support to accom-
plishit. In the second place it is practically
certain that considerable number of repre-
seAtatiyes who favor the bill will vote
against its consideration because they do not
want to be kept in Washington through the
hot days of July discussing measure which
cannot possibly become a law. The wisest
zeanEsefes-Mr. Morrison to pursue is to put
his bill on ice and keep it for the fall cam
paign.
