THE HOME RULE OUTLOnK,

Mr.. John Boyle O'Reilly of Boston,
one of the closest and most intelligent
observers of the AngloIrish situation
in this country, entertains no doubt as
to the outcome of the impending con-
test in England. 1t will settle in favor
Of Ireland the second OF the three
stages through which the country has
TO pass on the road TO permanent re-
form, and through the first of which it
has already passed. These stages are
agitation, controversy and legislation.
mo statesman" says Mr., O'Reilly,
"need fear the people on great moral
ISSUE" in which opinion he is fortified
by Mr.. Gladstone himself, who took
the wise and confident precaution last
year to add two million new electors to
the voting list, upon whom he can
safely depend that they will exercise
their franchise in the direction he shall
indicate.
As to the recent defeat of the Home
Rule bill on the question Of Its second
reading, Mr.. O'Reilly does not look
upon II as misfortune, but rather as
a blessing, for the reason that the bill
could not have gone through at this
time without material emasculation.

THE INFLUENCE OF PIE.

Possibly no product Of American
ingenuity and progressive thought will
compare in Importance with Pic.

Soup of Russia and the Salubrious
Sausage Of Germany have made name

lie, though hedgcd in and hamperel
by all the pomp and panoply of state
and compelled to pay obesance to the
multiform caprices of diplomatic usage
and the gustatory prcjudiccs of many
climes, found himself at last unable to
live down the native impulses of his
palate, and, In a burst of patriotic
enthusiasm, ordered Pie to be added to
the menu of the White House. 1t was
noble and heroic act, aud the Nation
beholds to day the Presidents reward.
He Is married; something that in all the
annals Of his wondrous luck had never
happened to him before; and his wife
can make Pie Pie that is Pie-Pie
that causes to pulsate with new life the
inner man distraught with salads and
roulettes, ragouts and glaces and the
million other fantastic compounds that
have made France anarchical and given
to dyspepsia q significance, in com
parison with which dynamite is
modest daisy growing in kitchen
garden.
But Pie, like Patriotism, must be
controlled by Judgment; and diverging
from the President to a small boy in
Boston, we mast call our readers at
tention to another phase of Pie. Sew
eral days ago in that city, where the
bean is popular in Pie, tin box con-
tanning S340, 900 in unregistered bonds
was missing, and after thorough
search by newspaper reporters, handi
capped by number of detectives, 1t
was found that small boy had carried
off the box in order to get $50 in gold
which was in it. And did he want the
money TO marry on? No. he wanted
it TO buy Pie with it. The bonds,
it was discovered, had not been
touched, and there is no doubt in the
mind Of the most superficial casuist
that it was entirely through the inilu-
ence of Pie that the boy did not absorb
them as he had absorbed the coin. 1t
is Ltrue that his love for Pie had led
him to commit trifling crime, but his
respect for the National Wand had pre-
vented any criminal excess. If he had
been eating railroads, or legislators, or
courts, or stocks, or any of those all
normal American products. will any
rational man say he would have hesi-
tated an instant in gobbling all of those
bonds and working patent register on
them within twenty four hours? Em-
phatically No. All honor then to Pie!
Let it be placed in the galaxy of stars
upon the highest shelf of the tirma.

from President to small boy, lift up
their grateful eyes to Pie, first in peace,

ACCORDING to recent reports the
Yankee fisherman is not having such
bad time in Canadian waters after
all 1t is true that if he goes within
the thrce-mile limit to buy bait his YES
sci is liable to be siczed; but there is
nothing TO prevent his heaving to out
side of the limit and buying whatever
is brought to him. The average Cana
dian is very thrifty individual, and
has a great fondness for United States
money. Many of his class have made
very good thing of the bait business
in past years and they do not like the
idea of giving it up. So they take
their bait and 60 outside the limit and
come back with good American funds
in their clothes. 1t takes the shrewd
Yankee and the thrifty Canadian, with

The story OF n Misfit Pnpn.

EDITOR CRiTtC: A large-sized dude In
gray Norfolk jacket and Knlckerbockers
made an interesting spectacle Of himself
last evening about 8 o'clock at Ninth and IL
streets, and since in his excitement he
probably failed to hear the Indignant re-
marks or see the contemptuous looks of the
passersby, THE CRITic will be doing him
true Kindness to make note of the occa-
sion.
A little child. his own as 1t proved,
perched on the front OF his tricycle., being
dismountcd, poutod, as children will, aud
In her pet sat down on the concrete; not
the best Of behavior, certainly, but far bet
ter than the fathers, after all, for this six
feet or so of manhood ~ jumped from the
tricycle., seized the tiny thing that, upright,
could not have moro than reached his knee,
dropped IL fat on the pavement, picked II
up again, laid II over his knee, and amidst
It's terrific cries, gave IL sound spanking,
ierked II by the arm to the sidewalk, and
left IL screaming, while he resumed his trl-
cycle and proceeded to show OFF his legs
ard Norfolk jacket, as he had already dis
played his temper and total unftness to be
u father.
viii some OF our philosophers tell us
what future is to be expected from the
child Of parent who has so little self-con-
troll he could thus disgrace himself, not
only before his child, but the general pub
lie Tell him, good CRITIC, that he has
mistaken his vocation In becoming hus-
band and father; that he should have been
satisfied with his tricycle., Norfolk Jacket
and Knickerbockers until the first elements
OF manhood, the ability to control his
own temper, had better fitted him for the
sacred trust Of paternity; that iron and
steel are as yet all he is worthy to be mas
ter Of, and that incompetent hands like
his are liable to work eternal ruin when
they attempt to guide aud handle that
delicate and complex mechanism the soul

Assisting Nature n Little Bit.

When the resources of Nature have
become retarded. no matter from what
cause, it is then quite time to help the
Liver and Spleen, and other organs, to
perform their thorough duty-or we
shall soon he quite i'll. In such cases
there is no more natural remedy than Il
mild cathartic, one which will be- sure
TO perform its duty without injuring
the system in the least. Such, let lis
say in all candor, is Simmons Hcpatic
Compound. 1t will gently move the
bowels. without irritating them in the
least: when the medicine works. the
bowels are soothed and healed like
charm-yet the medicine is more elfec-
tive than Calomel: one of the principal
ingredients possess all the good qualities
of that poisonous drug. without any of
it's constituents. \ dose of Simmons
Hepatic Compound every night on
going to bed, will infallibly restore
health. Testimony of the highest con-
sideration from every portion of the
country, and from all classes of people,
abunliantly substantiate this fact. The
Importance of this treatment cannot be
over-estimated, and it should be tried
by all means.
