English public men, of the type Of Lord
Harrington and Mr.. Chamberlain, en-

which they are eternally commenting.
That they fail to do so is no reason why
they should not, by frank speaking, be
compelled to recognize the situation
which actually confronts them. These
gentlemen invariably admit that the

admit that Irish disafection is thorn

HIS REAL ABILITY.

There is much talk CT Balfour's ability
by the Tory newspapers in England,
in view of the possible leadership in the
House of Commons, says the Catholic
Review. The word ability with us is
more carefully applied. When we meet
a man with more determination than
brains, who has no tact but an unlimit-
ed supply of shame)essness, whose scant
experience is backed up by extensive
impudence, we do not say ability; we
sum up his qualifications in the word
"cheek."
The possession Of cheek is certainly
Mr.. Balfour's one great power. He is
no doubt All intelligent man, and his
article must be OF wondrous depths and
consistency. 1t has passed through the
hands of the Irish party unscathed. tie
has been out again and again without
an umbrella In a Gladstonian storm.
He has been dashed without mercy by
the Liberal party, and has been laughed
at in America Mr.. BalfOur scarcely
winces. His character seems SO utterly
beneath contempt that not even a shot
has been fired at him by al over-heated
patriot. lie is not a statesman, for
such man feels keenly public rid1cule
He is simply a dertermined, Intelligent
fellow who sees glory ahead Of him, and
having nothing so buy it with save
cheek, does dot stint his price.

that the old hostility between England
and Ireland cannot and never will be
allayed by the granting to the latter
country only of such modicums of JUS
tice as Liberal Unionists may occasion
ally dole out to her. and he admits the
fact that, to put an end to the Irish
difficulty, to make the Irish race the
whole world over the friends and allies
of their English brethren, it is neces-
sary to restore to Ireland every right Of
which she has been deprived. 1t is mere
midsummer madness, the pure folly of
arrogance, to imagine that it lies in the
power Of any English statesman to re-
move the Irish difficulty otherwise than
by securing the affection of the Irish
people This, aud this alone, will end
the strife of centuries. We have every
confidence in the good sense of English
constituencies securing, at the next
general election, that Parliamentary
majority for Mr.. Gladstone which will
enable him to end the great work to
which he has set his hand in such a
manner as will procure for Ireland
every right which she justly and honor
ably claims. Should things, however,
prove otherwise, Lord Harrington and
his fellows can rest assured that they
will find the Irish difficulty as insoluble
as they find it to-day, and their decla-
rations of determination to follow the
traditions of bigotry and stupidity
just as incapable Of appeasing Irish
disafection as they fall short of salts
flying the legitimate aspirations of the
Irish race.

TIE Republican party of this state,
says the Boston Republic, is discover
ing that it did not rid itself of the pro-
hibitory issue as easily as it imagined it
did when it went to the polls last m nth
and voted against the amendment it
promised it's allies. the Prohibitionists,
it would support. and more than one
prominent Republican now recognizes
that his fences will need good deal Of
rebuilding between now and next No
yember if he is to be a candidate for re-
election. The only CONSTANT attitude
taken on the prohlbitory amendment
was that adopted by the Democratic
party, which has always been pronounc.
ed against such useless and idle legis-
latiOn.

"Jolln Anderson NV Jo."

The following letter has been sent by
the Rev. Oswald Hunter Blair, 0. S. b.,
who writes from st. Benedict's Abbey,
Fort Augustus. Scotland:
S1R.-Few readers, perhaps, out of the
thousands who have smiled and sighed
over one of the most pathetic of Burns'
smaller poems are aware that its hero
was a real parsonage, and not a mere
creation of the poets fancy.
John Anderson lies buried in the
churchyard of Fort Augustus, a quiet
spot embosomed in hills, and sloping
down towards the wide expanse of Loeb
Ness. He Was native Of Ayrshire. a
carpenter by trade, aid is commonly
said to have made Burns coffin, at the
latters's request, many years before his
death. Anderson, to whom Burns was
warmly attached, came to Inverness
shire, after his wife's death, to reside
with his daughter Kate, who ha5 mar
ried the inn-keeper at lnvergarry some
eight miles from this village. There he
spent his declining Years; and thlther
the poet, on one of his visits to the
Highlands, came to visit his humble
friend. He rested for q night at his
house; and local tradition still tells how
his pony wandered astray during Che
night, and points out the spot, in the
widest part of the romantic glen OF
Garry, where it was found and
restored to it's master. From Inven-
garry Burns rode over the hills to
Foyers. where he penned, or rather
pencilled las he tells US himself the
well-known lines with which the sight
Of the majestic falls inspired his muse.
The following inscription marks the
grave OF John Anderson in Fort Angus
tus churchyard:

Speak a Good Word.

IT you say anything about a nelghbOr
or friend, or even a stranger, say no ILL.
It is Christian charity to suppress our
knowledge OF evil of one another, un-
less our higher sense of public duty
compels us to bear witness. And if it
be true charity to keep our knowledge
of such evils to ourselves, much more
should we refuse to spread evil report Of
one another. Discreditable as the fact
is, it is by far the commonesG tendency
to suppress the good we know of our
neighbors and friends. We act in this
matter as though we felt that by push.
ing our fellows down or back a peg we
were putting ourselves up and forward,
We were jealous of commentator un-
less we get the larger share. Social con-
versation, as known to every observer,
is largely made up of what is best un-
derstood by the term scandal. 1t would
be difficult to find laxative group of
either sex, who could spend an evening
or an hour together without evil speech
of somebody. blessed are the peace
makers, is not the maxim by which we
are chiefly governed in our treatment
of personalities. Better thousand
times stand or sit dumb than to open
our lips ever 50 eloquently in the dis
paragement Of others. What we should
do in this, as in all our human relations,
is to practice the Golden Rule. If we
do unto others as we would that others
should do unto us, we shall be exceed
ingly careful not to volunteer ill words
about them. Where other than good
word is to be spoken, let it be spoken to
the person concerned, that he may
know your motive is not idle, cowardly
and sinister, and that he may have a
chance to defend himself.

REFORM OF THE TARIFF.

One of the stoutest opponents OF no-
reform Of the tariff has been the Ma
tional Labor Tribune of Pittsburg,
which is soaked with the Pennsylvania
pie-iron ideas. This paper now invites
attention to the fact that steel rails in
London are quoted at $22.20; freight to
New York is $2.16; freight from there
to Pittsburg $285; making total cost
of Engligh steel rails laid down at Pitts
burg of $s7.21 ton without the tariff
of SIG. And yet the Allegheny BESSIE
mer company of Pittsburg has just
taken contract for rails at $26 ton,
or 81 81 less than the English price, even
did the tree trade in rails prevail. The
Labor Tribune thinks the Allegheny
company should have attempted to get
some Of the ST. duty from consumers
and given it 20 their workmen, instead
of cutting under American prices and
reducing wages. Its conclusion is that
the S17 duty is ''a bowling sarcasm and
an outrageous fraud" When the last
congress suggested reduction of this
duty at Sill ton, Republicans called it
free trade."@ By Is even this is more
tariff than is needed at ordinary times
by ABOUT SIS. and more than is now
needed by $50 at the least. Is it not
also remarkable thing that American
steel men can pay 80 much higher
wages and yet make rails so nearly as
cheap as the English?
