TIVE OUTCOME OF WRONG.

sfweedmore, county Donegal, was
made the scene ct tragedy Sunday
last, brought abuut by the police un-
der charge Of an overzealous Inspector
named Martin. The Tory government,
in its desperation, has fnrnishtd many
examples Of cruelty and oppression
during the past decade, among them
the dastardly act Of arresting Father
McEadden when in the act of entering
his church at Gweedmore on Sunday.
At an hour when his sacred de-
uies called him thence, whei, tbs peo-
pie were gathering in the liitle chapel
To pay reverence to God aud take part
in che celebration OF ohe mass with
their spiritual advisor, whoni they loved
and respected, il was less than aun.an
TO intprfere---iu short, it was a most
s:ovarlly and unciristian act chat only
demons could be guilty of. Father
McFadden's attempt to escape from the
clutches Of these men found ready en-
couraqement From his naris{lopers, and
in the struggle that followed, Inspector
Martiu was killed. However much
this fact may ts deplored, it was only
She outcome Of a cowardly procedure
and DalpabIe wrong which terminated
in the death OF he who would lead III

MORAL REFORM,

The northern part Of Wisconsin has
began tha good work in earnest OF
bringing the den-keepers to terms or
driving them cut entirely from the
,eit!es which they infest wit their pres.
enca. 1t is a move in the right direc'
zion. and should receive every encour-
axemalt. The Daily News, Of Ash

shat city, is doing much to eradicate
the evil thera. 1t has been handicap

would make political capital out Of it

fall into this condition by Democratic
officials, city and county. The hypoc-

under the test the Irish people have
acted admirably. Among the most inn
pulsive races of the world and probab-
ly. of all Europe, the people who chafe
most restlessly under wrong, they have
shown the dicipline of a trained army.
Without faltering they have obeyed
instructions and have thus far gone
steadily through campaign Of passive
resistance where every impulse was for
active retaliation. Their leaders have
nobiy set the example, and priests and
politicians submit to the penalties Of
an iniquitous law rather than obey it
While they keep courts and jailers
busy in HOPELESS effort to suppress free
speech, the people by every method

WITHOUT SUCCESS.

The attempt to force Wm. O'Brien
to put on the customary prison garb
has been abandoned after several un-
successful attempts in that direction.
That the Tory government grows less
in the confidence OF it's own people is
shown by its sudden change Of tactics,
during the last few days, in regard to
the treatment Of O'Brien IN Clonmel
prison. 1t Is a signal triumph for
the Nationalist and the cause they
REPRESENT triumph that will be hail
I'd with the utmost delight and salts
faction by every patriotic Irish heart
by every lover of impartial justice. The
hardships imposed upon tue editor Of
the United Ireland have caused reac
ton in his favor throughout every sec
ton Of Great Britain, and has forced
the castle authorities to a humane sense
Of duty-a course entirely foreign and
directly opposite that to which it is
used to practice. Regarding this mat
ter a cable telegram early in the week
announced that the demonstrations
planned in England to protest against
the acts of officials Of Clonmel prison
surpass in extent and earDestness any
popular movement that has take place
in the country since the cutlery of the
Bulgarian atrocities. It has been i'm
possible for the newspapers to print
one quarter OF the meetings already
held for the purpose of demanding MI,
O'Brlen s release, and che government
has finally come TO realization of its
inability to withstand the pressure
brought upon 1t from all sides for a
modification, at least, of the prison dis
cipline in his case. Balfour's Dublin
speech was the straw that broke the
camel's back. Even the most rabid
Tories have made haste to condemn
tho vindictiveness Of his utlerances and
point out the incaicuiable injury done
to the party throughout the country
thereby, and there is now. scarcely one
to be found who will admit that he bad
ever approved Balfour's course III the
matter. But there is good deal OF by.
pocricy in the makeup OF the average
Tory. His cl,agrin at B4lfour's error
will be quickly oyerloeked-that crea
ture without manhood or character will
be allowed to pursue The even tenor OF
his way. and 1t is we'll that this is so.

IT HAS been decided by Judge Tuley,

lawful for them to hold meetings and
to advocate their principles. 1t seems
to US that the public advocacy of prin-
ciples which would certainly subvert

that the state should prohibit such adj

There was held what was called a re-
trenchment and reform meeting at
Harmonic hall Tuesday evening, but 1t
proved to be only that in name. Some
one was reckless enough to Call atten-
ton to party pledges. whatever that is,
which created an Lproar that almost
lifted the rafters from the building.
Members of the Legislature FROM Hen
nepin county, gentlemen from the
board of trade and many citizens of
Minneapolis were presenC-all enter
ing heartily into the proceedings. A
good deal was said about reduction of
salaries and promises to see that they
were reduced, which we remember Of
having heard before election-promises
that certainly ought to be carried out
to the very letter, regarding county Of
ficials-with few of this City officials
included. But such retrenchment and
reform meetings as that Of Tuesday
night will never accomplish anything.

TIME AND IT'S CHANGES.

ALA EUD6LLtuLlOiidl ShIuESI6 lOI NVLAc
rule ia Ireland goes oravely on in che
face OF all the difficulties and obstacles
COST in it's way. Looking back over the
centuries chat have passed ''the whole
of EngIand's policy towards ireland, .
says rhe New Orleans Morning Star,
has been definable by the one word,
provocation.' There is certainly much
truth in this. To exaaperate the Irish
people by intolorahle oppression unit!
revolt and REVELATION would give OK
cuse for repression bv che sword and
the torch---such was the simple un~
varying method. Lit did not require
much sagacily or profoundness- only
brutality ard ferocity. Whenever Ire
land would make any notable progress
towards pr-.speriJy and power. En-
glish pride would take alarm, the
ancient poliocy. would be I'M
earthed and then would follow
the inevitable round of dsspotic rigor,
popular ou5bursts uf violence, armed
conflict, acountry aesolated by pitiless
war and a people thrown back into the
depth of ruin from which they had
thought themselves emerging. But OF
late years wonderful change has come
over the situation. The telegraph, the
railroad, the newspaper, have brought
the people into far more Immediate con-
tact not only with their neighbors but
with the world at large. There is ten
fold more Interchange OF opinion, and L,
OF course, better opinions have q
chance to prevail. Every peasant
k',cws as we'll as Lord Salisbury the
method adopted by England for the
periodical ,econquest OF Ireland and.
of course, there is far more willingness
to listen to their leading men when
they declare that there must be q
change Of tactics. 1t is we'll under
sucud that nc excuse must be given for
an army of invasion and occupation.
Whatever may be the wrong, some
either remedy than armed resistance
must be found, or this sign Of ruin will
be certainly perpetuated. In war of
bayonets the whole race could be ex-
terminated; in war OF imprisonment
and eviction the contest would be far
more equal, more prolonged and more
uncertain. And this is the turn mat
ters have now taken. Ireland, under the
new tactics of her leaders II Parlia-
ment and at home, was, a year or two
ago, RAPIDLY working out the problem
Of Home Rule and Home Rule meant
the end OF England's despotism. The
old Tory element became desperate.
With the aid of certain Liberal deser-
ters, it took control Of the Imperial
government.and immediately set about
its old.fashioned work of oppression,
war and devastation in the old fash
toned way. In the face Of an adverse
public opinion, in utter disregard of
uniayorable aud uncomplimentary
comments from all quarters, they enact
ed laws so restrictive Of the freedom Of
the press and of speech, SO repressive OF
popular meetings and demonstrations,
that, probably in any couatry Of Chris

A CONFESSION OF WEAKNESS.

The dispatches are meager that tell us
of the new anti-tolerant law Of Germany,
but enough is recited of the measure to
give the reader some idea of the intoler-
ant sentiment of the Government. Prim-
arily, the law is aimed at the Socialists,
but il cuts broader swathe, and will, if it
can be enforced, operate against the dis
cussion of any reforms in government
that in the slightest degree will tend to
weaken the monarchial power The new
code provides that "persons found guilty of
melting one class against another or Of
publicly attacking the bases of public and
social order, especially of religion, NOR
archy, marriage or property, shall be i'm
prisoned for term not exceeding three
years. Persons convicted of second
oiense may be forbidden to reside in GER
tain places. A newspaper which shall
have been twice convicted of any of the
ofienses mentioned in the code shall be
suppressed. Socialists who have been ex-
PEELED from the country shall not be al
lowed to return within FIVE years after the
adoption of the code unless by special per-

afford us ample protection. But in the
Empire sense of fear that the Imperial
power is in need of special police protec-
ton, inspires such attempts as that now
under consideration. When a state finds
that public sentiment is so strcng that it
cannot be allowed expression in criticism
OF the forms of government without fear
of change being effected, it is at the
threshold of imminent danger. From an
American standpoint Germany could not
do more ill-advised thing than to pro-
hibit the public debate, as it has resolved
TO do, Of the question Of the right
of kings to rule. So too, the state is in
great danger when the ruling power feels
obliged for its own perpetuation to throw
the guards of special enactments about any
form of religion with view Of preventing
free debate. The truth at no time finds
need for protection, except against schemes
to prevent its discussion. We can inn
agine what an upheaval there would be

AN IMporENr CONCLUSION.

Caution and investigation, said Publius
10 the Federdlist l0l years ago, are neces-
sary armor against error and imposition.
But the caution and investigation that
leads Mr.. Merwin in the Atlantic Monthly
for April to the conclusion that "the peo-
pie" have the capacity to govern in all
matters save those involving ordinary bus
mess questions, and the choosing of repre-
sentatives, leads him into gross error. In
his endeavcr to reconcile two extreme
schools of political philosophy, he reaches
this conclusion and puts it forward as a
text for the guidance of the young men
now coming on the stage of political
action with no clearly defined ideas Of the
