IRELANps INTERESTS.
Michael DaVitt Speaks tn Favor of
GIadstOnesS Bill.

Michael Davitt addressed a crowded meet
ing of Irishmen at Glasgow. He said that
Gladstone's Irish bills amply proved that
he himself had not spent nine years in pris-
on in vain. He hoped that the prosperity
that would result if the bills were adopted
would induce Parliament to extend still
further home rule in Ireland. If the land
lords stayed in Ireland and circulated more
trade would revive and Ireland would not
need to resort to protection. He condemned
the principle of a parliament of two orders,
but urged the acceptance of the plan in the
hope that it would soon be altered.
Mr.. Froude, the historian, has sent tel
egram expressing hearty sympathy with the
proposed meeting of opponents of Glad
stones policy. and regreting his inability
to attend.
Herbert Gladstone, speaking at Bradford,
said that the Government would hold fast
to its present Irish policy and would secure
a victory whether it required sixmonths or
six years.

cause ordered to do so by the committee,
and not because they had any grievances.

EARLY CHICKS.

Advantages which No Intelligent Poultry
Kaiser will Neglect. y.
The advantages Of Matching chicks
early can not be over-estimated.
Chicks that are Matched late bring late
prices, and chicks that come out of the
shell this month and get in market as
broilers, bring as high prices as grown
fowls,
The objections urged against early
chicks are that they give too much
trouble, and hat those Matched late
have the privilege of grass runs, and
take partial care of themselves. And
so they do. They are raised much
more easily than those Matched this
month, but our readers should remem-
| Der that it is not the chicks that bring
the best prices, but the trouble. When
| ever chicks are raised without effort
| the cost is, of course, a small item, but
| the time is then occupied by hundreds
who also prefer to perform as little la
Dor as possible, and the consequence
is that chicks are thrust on the market
by thousands, only to depress the mar.
ket and cause the oft-repeated asser-
ton that poultry does not pay. But
early chicks do pay, however, but
thew pay only for that which
is expended and bestowed upon
them by the attendant. 1t is claimed
again. that labor is labor, and may as
well be expended in n direction al
another without dey citing it to early
chicks. That is true, but UNEMPLOYED
labor is a waste, and if, in winter. {

for market, there will be a saving O

How Rheumatism In Sheep Should be

How Rheumatism In Sheep should DC
Treated Reliable Remedies.
A Michigan correspondent describes
rheumatism in sheep and asks for a
remedy. For the benefit Of the general
reader we may say that rheumatism is
accompanied with more or less fever
and general disturbance of the system.
It may affect the Serious membrane
about the joints, the tendons and Gga-
ments, the lungs, bones, muscles, brain
and covering about the heart. All
rheumatism in any patient, human or
brute, is liable to affect the heart. 1t
is an inflammation of the part attacked,
and when rheumatism becomes chronic
it causes changes in the joints that are
of. a serious character. Its presence
NAV be known by the. general uneasi-
ness and stiffness of the animal, a ca
PRECIOUS appetite-sometimes no appc-
tite at all-hard and scanty droppings,
high colored urine which is also deficient
in quantity. Upon examination some
Joint will likely be found to be swollen.
If the pain is relieved in that joint it
will probably go to another. 1t is
most common in the spring among
animals that have not been properly
cared for during the winter. In the
first place give the following purgative:
EPSON salts, two ounces; spirit OF
nitrous ether, four drains; ginger, one
| dram. Follow this with the following:
| Sulphate of potash, two drains; sui
phuric acid, twenty drops; and water.
a quarter of a pint, to be given diluted
with water night and morning. Feed
soft, laxative food; keep from cold and
damp. The disease is pretty apt to
run into the chronic form and the
butcher had better have the animal
that is ass.acked with it. Do not use
rheumatic sheep for breeding. They
will transmit the trouble Wsstern

THE PITH OF THE CASE.

Wicked Efforts of the Bell Telephone
Monopoly to Divert Attention from the
Real Issue.
As the Graphic has repeatedly said in
relation to the telephone controversy
now violently raging, it does not mat
ter the toss of a button whether Attor-
ney-General Garland goes Or stays, 80
far as the intrinsic merits of the case
are concerned. The main and essential
question is whether the United States
Government is to be successfully bull
lied and driven from a perfectly legal
position by the organized clamor and
threats of a gigantic monopoly. The
Bell Company confederated with the
Western Union and with every selfish
or reckless force inimical to the Adj
m~inistration, started out with the ex-
plicit menace that it would politically
kill any public man who dared to chal-
lenge its prerogatives or obstruct its
designs. Its entire crusade is aimed to
divert attention from the true issue. It
pointed a thousand fingers at Garland
and with q thousand voices-mostly
venal exclaimed: -''This is Credit Mo
bilierism over again. He holds stock
in the rival. concern. 1t. is a fragrant
| scandal in high places. Let this suit be
tried before the ordinary tribunals"
It seems to be legitimate criticism
and a plausible proposition, but what
| does it really implyp No single rival
company nor combination of companies
| can in an ordinary civil process test the
fundamental point ~involved-that of
alleged fraud. Furthermore, the ex-
listing monopoly with it's income of
millions and its comparatively trivial
expenses can afford to prolong an
ordinary suit for years, perhaps in
definitely, and in the meantime can ex-
act heavier and heavier tribute from a
public which has no redress. The
telephone has become in cities a COM
mercial necessity, yet inventors are
barred out from improving it I'M
less they dispose of their improvements,
to the hungry octopus holding
the original patents. Why so Zero
ciously resist a fair. speedy and final
test of the validity of that patentP This
is a view of the matter that has begun
to impress itself on some of our most
vehement contemporaries during the
past few days. Nobody has yet had
the hardihoOd to ever insinuate that
Secretary Lamar was Influenced in his
decis n by any improper motive. They
do MOI even attack Garland except by
implication. He simply did what any
upright judge would do under similar
circumstances-he refused to act in q
case in which he was personally inter-
ested..
Let Garland go or stay as may be,
the Government is responsible for the
existence of the Bell mOnopoly. and the
