IT is not at all surprising that the
English people should desire a peace
policy. The disparaging utterances of
Lord Charles Beresford concerning the
efficiency Of the British navy, added to
the more recent remarks OF the Duke Of
Cambridge upon the incompetency of
the officers and the general defects of
the land forces, has had a depressing
effect on English combativeness. While
all the contineunt, including little Bull
garia, which wants to fight Russia, is
bristling with warllke demonstrations,
the voices of the English statesmen are
wonderfully unanimous for a peaceful
settlement ST the troubles, and there is
growing disposition among them to
look even upon Russian occupation OF
Constantinople as not 80 very serious
matter after all Evidently the days OF
England's glory are departing.

and the lecture he delivered last Sum
day night was full Of information for
everybodY-even those VINO have made
a study Of the Irish question. He pic
tured the situation in the most lucid
manner. That he was thoroughly
understood and appreciated the repeated
outbursts of applause with which his re-
marks were greeted proves conclusiyely.
Of all the men who have ever advocated
the righteous cause Ct Ireland and her
people we .do not believe there are any
who have more cause for doing so than
Michael Davitt. While lie was yet a
boy of six years of age his father was
evicted for non-payment of rent, and
died soon after discouraged, heart
broken man. The patriot, himself, srf-
fered much in these early years. Being
manned while at work in factory when
he was only mere lad, his chances for
earning living by physical work were
rendered impossible. He educated him
self and by writing for the newspapers
he was enabled to eke out rather pre-
carious existence He has, to use his
own words, s'been entertained in Her
Maiesty's prisons" at various times. It
is not much wonder, therefore, that he
should have dislike for the people who
have done their best to injure Ireland.
During his lecture tour throughout the
United States MI. Davitt has been most
successful, and every place he has ap-
peared crowded houses greeted him.

GOOD ADVICE,

The advice recently given by Most
Rev. Thomas Nulty, Bishop Of Meath,
i'll q sermon preached in Dublin, had
the right ring. In speaking Of the
moonlighters he denounced the acts
perpetrated by them, and told them
that such acts instead Of beneftting Ire
land in any way, handicapped the great
Home Rule cause. He said the out
rages they committed served but to per-
petuate lanilordism, which otherwise,
he declared, was doomed. He sug-
gested that the moontighters return the
arms and other property they had
stolen to tier rightful owners. ''You
can do this quietly" continued the
bishop. "You can make this restitu-
tion through me if you wish, or you can
make it through your parish priests.

from that unlivalled campaign a.,sa now
before us, and Mayor Ames, whether
defeat or success shall fail to his lot,
can congratulate himself upon the fact
that he has aroused the people in every
section OF the North Star State TO a
sense Of thought and action for the

Democratic party has gained q strong

THE TRUTH WILL BEAsOGRTAINED,
And Let Us Hope That shs Will Not Be
Behind in this Great and Glo-
rious Democratic Victory.

Uncertainty pervades the political at
mosphere Of the state of Minnesota at
the time OF writing. The meagreness Of
the information and official figures re-
ceived leaves the result shrouded in
Egyptian darkness. However, with the
information Mt hand, it looks as if the
governorship Of the state will not be ac-
companied by g. majority of over 1900
votes either way. The remainder Of the
ticket will be just about as close as the
head.
In the Congressional district the Dem
ocratic party have met with phenomenal
success. In the First District Judge
Thomas Wilson has secured a majority
over his opponent, John A. Lovely. In
the last election this district gave heavy
Republican majority. In the Second
District, the Republican candidate, John
Lind, has been elected by about 1900
majority. The great and most marvel.
lsus Democratic success is that of Judge
Macdonald in the Third District. In
the last election H. B. Strait, Rep, was
elected over Ignatius Donnelly, Dem.
by large majority. This time Judge
Macdonald has beaten the Red Wing
editor by at least 1,5O0 majority. This
result can be attributed to the persona
popularity of the Judge. We doubt i
there is another man in the state who
could have brought about such salts

MICHAEL DAVITrs LECTURE,

The audience that assembled in Tur-
ner Hall last Sunday evening to listen
to the lecture By that distinguished
Irish patriot and orator, Michael Davitt,
afforded ample evidence that the people
of Minneapolis entertain an interest that
will never wither in the cause Of Home
Rule for Ireland. 1t is now some eight
wears since Mr. Davitt visited Mime
apolis, and ever since that time the pa
triot has never ceased in doing every
thing Snat would further the interests OF

SO many years imprisonment for, be

AFFAIRS IN GREAT BRITAIN.

Another week has gone by and still
no noticeable change has transpired in
the situation of Irish affairs. There ap-
pears, however. to be disposition to
believe that ere long some definite pol
Icy with regard to Ireland will be an
nounced by the Tory Government. al
though nothing official has yet been
given to the public.
A great effort is being made to recon
struct the Liberal party, upon distinc-
tive platform, but what will be the re-
suit Of this movement remains yet to be
seen. Such men as John Morley are
convinced that a revival of the party
will be possible only BY a reconstrnc-
tion. They desire the leading planks Of
the platforln to be a roof and branch re-
form Of the House Of Lords by abolition
of hereditary peerages, the re-establish-
ment of the church, and profound
changes in the land laws. But Mr..
Gladstone, it would appear, is not pre-
pared to accept all these changes, at
least for the present, as he believes the
masses axe not educated to that degree
which would maize these changes ac-
ceptable Therefore, it is said, he will
use his influence toward preventing the
conference, which viii! meet at Leeds to
arrange 6 Liberal platform, from going
beyond g general declaration to continue
his old policy at home and abroad. One
can easily understand the bearing this
will have on the Irish situation. 1t
simply means that Mr.. Gladstone is de-
ternnned to force that particular issue
before he incorporates any changes in
the condition of things existing in the
old country into his platform.
The unsettled condition OF affairs ill

competition with the progress OF the
Home Rule question, SO far as consider
tion at the hands Of the Cabinet is con-
cerned. It is not at all improbable,
however, that even the eastern question
may, instead of retarding, eventually
influence the speedy settlement of the
Irish difficulty.
Just now everything is remarkably
quiet in ireland, and this can be in q
great measure attributed to the disposi-
tion Of many landlords to behave more
leniently towards the tenants than they
have done in the past.
