HE WHO LAUGHS LAST.

Our Republican friends, with remark
able suddenness have dropped the Maine
election. On receipt of BLAINE's absurd
and lying dispatch claiming that the re-
suit was "almost q political revolution, +"
they crowed Justify, though from their
long experience of the Mulligan states
man they might have known better than
commit themselves on his word
Custom has taken away all the novelty
and pleasure to be derived in proving ] G.
BLAINE an unequivocsl liar. We use his
words, therefore, with no special desire to
reflect" upon the ''uncrowned king"
but merely to make results clear.
The complete returns from Maine are
now ut hand, and an analysis of them
will show how much ground there was
for BLAINE's claim that the reauls was
almost q political revolution" We give
the figures side by side with those of the
September election in 1884:

JUDGE L. B. KELLOGG.

The state ticket Is exceptionally strong
in the candidate for attorney general.
Under the conditions that have prevailed
since the enactment of prohibition, the
responsibility for the enforcement Of the
the law rests mainly on this officer. In
regard to the high qualifications of the
nominee of the convention the Emporia
Republican says: 1.-The position of at
torney general is an arduous one to fill,
but Judge Kellogg will perform all its
duties conscientiously and creditably.
He is in full sympathy with the states
prohibitOry policy, and will bend his
great energies and talents to enforcing
the law according to its spirit and letter.
The greatest trouble with prohibition in
Kansas is and has been the refusal
or neglect of the officers to do their
duty; wherever the law is ignored or
persistently violated it may be set
down that the official entrusted with
its enforcement either have not yet
courage or the inclination to bring the
guilty party to justice. If the people of
Kansas are in earnest in their endeavors
to make prohibition success in all por-
tions of the state alike, they must keep
closer eye on their officials and hold
them strictly accountable for all the re-
missness in the discharge of their duties
Judge Kellogg will make fearless and
determined as well as industrious and
capable officer and will look after the
peoples interest with a zeal that VIII
cause increased respect for the laws
and diminished frequency of their in
fringement The convention made no
mistake in nominating Judge Kellogg
for attorney general, either with refer
euce to his strength as candidate or
his fitness for the office, as time will
show

REVENUE REDUCTION.
Ought the Ser ate to Pass q Substitute
for the Mills Bill.

| Tor the Mills BILL
Worcester Spy.
1t will take time; the summer is far
advanced; Washington is hot and I'M
| comfortable at this season: most of the
senators nave political work with which
| they would like to occupy themselves at
| home. But if this work is public
duty they ought not to shirk it, though
it should keep them in Washington till
| October. 1t is impossible, doubtless, to
frame bill that would be at once &C
copied by all Republicans, and hard per-
haps. to draw one which, after discus
sion and minor changes, would be ac-
ceptable to the party generally. But if
there were no difficult tasks in public
life there would be no need of wisdom
in craftsmanship or skill in politics.
The same task will be presented to
the Republican party in the next con-
gress if it should succeed in the elections
of this year. and If its representatives in
congress distrust their ability to perform
1t now, what reason has the country to
suppose that they will be more compe-
tent then: One of the reproaches which
Republicans haYe most frequently cast
upon the Democratic party is that it is
incapable of legislation; that it is a party
Of negation and obstruction only. To
fail to present a revenue bill which shall
represent TO the country the Republican
policy would be a confession that the
Repu blican party has succeeded to the
incapacity of which it has accused the
Democrats. 1t would mean an appeal to
the country to condemn the Democratic
policy without offering an alternative.
The Republican party cannot safely take
that attitude and the Republicans in
congress will not do their duty if they
force the party TO take it.

SOME FACTS FOR IRISH VOTERS.

To the Editor of the EAGLE
The extinction of the Irish parliament
and the legislative union of Ireland with
England was contaminated August 1st,
1900. 1t was after much preparation by
England, and when the government
thought victory sure, that the question
was brought forward in the Irish parlia-
ment in 1895, and after vehement and long
continued debate was defeated by the
small majority of five. In England Pitt
had carried the measure by large
majority, and when the Irish parliament
was prorogued in June. the government
went to work zealously to secure sue
cess at the next session. The means
employed We're as venal as the ends
sought were unjust. 1t simply went
into the market and bought its majority.
There were over a hundred boroughs
represented in the Irish commons, the
owners of which wer, chiefly members
of the upper house, and the government
bought some eighty-tive of these, COM
pensating their owners at the rate of
seventy-tive thousand dollars each, and
as many owned from three to seven
seats, the bride was a tempting one.
The total borough purchases amounted
to over SIX million dollars. which Eng
land paid-no: the sum was added to the
Irish debt, and the Irish people thus paid
for heating the poker with which their
own hands were burned. Grafton, so ill

and too weak to stand while speaking.

most remarkable speeches of his life. in
opposition to the union. His invectiye.
his irony and sarcasm, and his bitter
denunciation were like brands of fire.
But it was all too late; the work was
done. The traitors could only hang
their heads in shame, take the punish
ment, and jingle the price OF their
perfidy in their pockets.
In addition to the money paid, there

TO PROTECT THE PRESS FROM HOS
TILE RAILWAYS.

CONGRESSMAN Phelan, of Tennessee,
who was a journalist in Memphis and
possibly had cause to realize the necessity
for such legislation, has introduced a
bill to prevent discrimination in the sell
ling literary matter, newspapers, maya
zines, ETC., on railway trains or steam
ships and in stations. The bill makes ii
unlawful for any interstate carrier to
discriminate in the sale Of such publica-
tons, to exclude them by direct or indi-
rect prohibition from sale on its trains,
steam boats, docks or stations, provided
other periodicals are customarily there.
1t also makes it an offense for any such
carrier to grant any lease OR privilege to
persons or corporations under which dis
elimination might be practiced in the
sale of publications, or to prevent pub
Usher or his agents from selling a pub
LEGATION which it has refused to sell. 1t
is to be deemed discrimination if the
carrier OF its lessee habitually fails to
keep ali adequate supply of any publica-
ton to meet the public demand, or to ex-
pose it in favorable terms for sale. Nio-
lation Of the provisions is declared to be
misdemeanor, punished by fine of
not more than So, 900 nor less than 81 COO.
Of course under existing laws any
transportation company could exclude
frsm its stations and conveyances any
newspaper or other publication to
which it might be inim;cal. Mr.. Phelan
proposes to prevent such attacks upon
the freedom of the prees. His bill has
been favorably reported by the commit
tee to which it was referred. It should
be enacted and put into operation with
out delay. The reading public are no
less interested in the matter than pub
fishers, for large numbers Of persons,
not only travellers upon the public high
ways-railways and rivers-but residents
at the smaller stations along such chan
nels of communications, depend upon
such common carriers for their supply of
current literature-daily newspapers and
periodicals, and are often compelled to
take that that they do not want and are
deprived Of what they desire, simply be-
cause Of the favorltisln or dislike Of
those who have the handling thereof.
We know whereof we speak.

DEMOCRATIC "DECoY DUCKS"

Democrats in general are interested in
the decentralization of the Republican
party. They know few influences are
injuring The Republican party so much
as the prohibition craze, and they know
that the growth of The Prohibition party
Will be comparatively slow if made up
simply of assertions from the Republi-
can party. Hence it is that some Dem
ocrats, in their eager desire to convince
the country that the Prohibition party is
really going to amount to something and
soon become triumphant, will identify
themselves with that party and os-
tensibly become very jealous members
thereof, These gentlemen, however,
are simply playing the part of "decoy
ducks to lure enough temperance Re-
publicans from that party TO enable the
Democrats to overpower it.

This table is made the subject of good
deal of figuring on presidential possibili-
ties. 1t is pointed out that three times
therein is shown the denomination and
success of the prinoipal candidate who
was defeated at the election next before.
This happened in the instance of Jeffer-
son in 1900, jackson in 1925. and Harri-
son in 1870. Once, in the instance of
Pinckney, IN 1S04, there was such q renonl-

reflections to the presidency for a second
term-ln the instances of Washington,
