THE foregoing is the Prohibition

The extent % the interest felt in the
United States in the cause of Home
Rule may be inferred from the fact that
FOR the uses OF the present campaign be-
tween $3.50 600 and $500, 900 have been
contributed here and forwarded. With
IN the few years which embrace the ac-
tive Parliamentary efferts for Irish
autonomy upward of 81, 600 600 have
gone from these shores nor has It all
come from Irish American pockets,
either. Large contributions, especially
of late, have come from other sources.
The express ion is the result of a COM
NOM sympathy for local self-govern-
ment. IF, as now appears to be the case,
the struggle is to be prolonged through
still another election, there will be no
falling off in our practical disposition
to aid in bringing about the event which
must come sooner or later. Hitherto it
has been the Irish political leaders who
have been encouraged and aided now
in addition to these it ls a great party

-o- him TO put on paper the most ey-

10red by the National Republican plat
form adopted two years ago when Blaine
vas nominated for the Presidency
How did it happen, however, that when

putting the pieces I'm the platform to

roaring blast as hot as If from furnace
Fearing cyclone, they took refuge in cell

temperature was 12O degrees. At midnight
it had been 100 degrees. People feared

day
When golden leaves against a blue sky play
And In the boughs late bird warDlcs clear:
like Nature, when her summer Joys are past,
So let me feel the soft approach OF death
Before i strikes, and with my failing
breath
Sing, like the bird, my sweetest and my last.
"And then, when II is time for me to go,
Draw near, and let my lips by yours be
closed,
Dear tender one, on whom my heart re-
posed,
All my beloved, the fairest that know!
mo no not such the end have implored
spring day, backed by battles lurld
gloom,
And on the meadow flowers of blood In
bloom,
That is the death pray Thou send me, Lord /.
death, sword in hand; aye! death among
dead foes;
Let bugles sound while nightlngales are
singing,
While my breath into April air Is wlnging,
And on my heart blossoms CORY rose:
when, from my weight relieved, my horse
Come near and close my mouth with thy
loved mouth,

extend his inquiries to within the sacred pre-
cincts of the Senate itself There Is no doubt
that the inquisitiye Senator Is making himself
disagreeable in some quarters"
The Tim6s Is satisfied with the Treasury
statement and attributes the credit of 1t to
the Presidents wisdom In warding off the
evils inherent in the law regulating the cur
rency and the injury that must come sooner
or later from the forced coinage of legal ten
der silver dollars. As for the Democratic
House, "lt has done nothing yet to redeem
the promises made by Its party"
The Sun says there seems to be an intense
conviction among the strikers that the rail-
road authorities aim at the destruction of
their organization" OF the civil service law
II observes "The truth Is that the whole
scheme has been means for getting Republi-
cans into place and keeping them there"
The star doubts whether compulsory arb-
bration bill would be strictly constitutional,
but lit would be worth while TO amend our
organic law, II that We're the only way to
bring about the result" AS to the tariff, sill
yer and other questions, 1t regrets that there
is danger in the discussion of these new sub
1ects; that new sectional lines will be drawn,
and that the West and Southwest will be ar
rayed against the East"
