Couldn't Find the AR Cushion,

Chicago Herald: It was one after
noon during the later years Of Wilbur
f. Storey's life that A. S. Trude, then
attorney for his paper, received per.
emptory telephone message from the
editor to ''come ever at once" This
could not be djsregarded, and the law
yer hurried over to the newspaper Office.
Mr.. Storey was out of temper. He said
that man had put an air cushion Of
some sort under the elevator in the
building, and now insisted upon pay for
it or declared that he would take it out.
MIR. Storey said he did not want to pay
for the air cushion, as Me-. Patterson
had told him it was 10 good, and he die
not care to walk up and down stairs, so
he asked Mr.. Trude to stop any attempt
to interfere with the elevator
MIR. 4>rude was at a loss what
to do for a moment. He went
down to see Mr.. Patterson, and they
secured The assistance OF Mr.. StoreY's
colored man, whom they directed to go
into the elevator Car and raise it higl,
enough to allow them to go under it.
Mr.. Trude argued that if they could
take Ou5 the air cushion and put it
aside until the patentee calico for it he
could not interfere with the running of
the elevator. Well. he and Patterson
CROPPED around at the bottom of the
shaft in search of the air cushion, aud
then they finally realized that the ''air
cushion was only a name, and that the
patent consisted of the tight 6t Of the
car in the shaft, so that the compressed
air beneath it would ease sudden fall.
That was why Trude could not find the
air cushion, and Mr.. Storey was angry
at being charged with something he had
not got.

and 1881" Professor Th0mpsOn's pa
per was an exhaustive essay on the
| Irish question, the evils of iandlordism
and the failure of the laws regulating
land holding IN Ireland.
Professor Thompson stated that the
food products of Ireland in year were
enough to fe d twice the number Of peo-
pie that live there. He mentioned the
law abiding character of the Irish, and
quoted the Rev. Charles F. Swing iii
support of this statement. He then an
alyzed the two modern measures for the
relief of the Irish tenantrY, and showed
clearly wherein each bill failed: He
referred to the almost total absence OF
native industrial establishments, :.and
said: 1.-The Irish landlord class tor the
last sixty years exactly corresponds to
the description given Of landlords gen
orally.
The first bad effect Of these two bills
was in the moral tone Of the people.
The Irish id among themselves; 1t is
our own countlymen who are to blame
for this misfortune And they called
in question their rights even to what
the law had lefI them.
They said: England always has
given us.half loaf when we asked for
bread MI. Gladstone's act has failed
to achieve any great result for Ireland.
1t has brought neither prosperity, nor
contentment, nor social peace. Above
all, it has put no check to the pressure
Of the people for the possession of the
soil, which is the effect of the absence
OF any occupation except farming. and
were even Mr.. Parnel!' s idea substituted
for that OF MIR. Gladstone, and the land
was to become the property of the 527,-
HI actual cultivators, the problem
would only become more embarrassing
by the multiplication of the number
twelve. The desire IF the Irish peasant
ls to become landlord himself.
"lt may be said that thew should emil
CRATE; but that does no good. The
vigorous and thrifty so away and leave |
The weak and less energetic at ho1ne''
Professor Thompson then proceeded to
give numerous examples, and said that
Ireland needed no special land laws,
and the cure of her economic measures
must be sought in other quarters.
