THERE is a mild panic in the money
market Of the Argentine Republic. but
as there IS a distui bance there of some
kind with every full moon, no UNUSUAL
surprise is manifested, This is not so.
TIE Argentine Republic is one of the
most progressive in South America now
and no one has done more to forward
the good cause than United States Min
lister Patrick Egan. His services have
been invaluable as far as giving good
pointers on wheat raising and four
making is concerned, and now Ameri-
can improved machinery is being intro
duced extensively. Progress is the
watchword there now. 50 much for
Patrick Egan IS presence there.

The Minneapolis Journal prints a lot
of slush from Washington about Lieut.
Governor Rice being in the field for the
first place on the Republican state
ticket next fall. It is strange that one
must 90 to Washington to find out
what is going on IN Minnesota. SUCH
news max IS good reading for people
who do not know any better, and helps
to sell the paper it is published in.

WHY ARE THINGS SOP

! Those people who know the least
about Ireland, are those who have al
ways the most to say against her and
her people. DR.. McLauren is the latest
crank to come out, and say a few things
against the Irish people, because OF
their poverty. People who visit Ire
land for few DAYS cannot expect to see
it all in a week or two, and they are
consequently forced to accept some
other mans opinion of the political and
social condition of affairs there. DR..
McLauren accuses the people in the
South of Ireland with being poor be-
cause they beg. Let us give Mr. Nc
Lauren few plain facts. He has evi.
IDENTITY made hurried visit to that
country and formed certain opinions of
it's lnternal workings which are GER
tainly not based upon facts. He COM
pares Belfast WITH Dublin ana trys to
show that the latter, city is inferior in
every particular to the former. because
of Catholicity. Belfast is the great
linen center Of the world. There is no
competition in this line in England or
Scotland, and hence this trade is en-
couraged by the government to a great
extent, but where the production Of any
particular article interferes with the
government. or any of its enterprises,
it is Immediately crushed. Take for
instance the coal mines and peet boys
in Ireland. Why is it that they are not
worked and fostered by the English
government as the linen trade in Bel
fastp In the Monnie mountains in
Down county there is large bog Of
peet Of some $1,000 acres, which if
worked as the coal mines OF England
are, would give employment 10 thou
sands of laborers. Are the people
there too lazy to work it2 No; Ger
tainly not. but the secret Of it is this
that the landlord who claims to have q
warranty deed to lt--Lord DoWnshire-
will not permit any man to harvest anv
more peet for fuel than is necessary for
his own particular household. This is
the secret Of 10. The peet il harvested. i
assit should would come into direct
competition With English coal. and the
mine on,ers land sand Scotland.

NEWSPAPERS in the Northwest OBJ
ject to the statements in the eastern
press about the ''snow blockade IN the

THE police rules of. London forbid
an officer to arrest a drunken person
unless he is trying to do some one an
injury. and it is not an uncommon thing
for an officer to have six or eigh;
'.drunks'' AISLE 'p at intervals along his
beat. They may all sing, whistle or
shout, but he cannot arrest them,
What contrast between the police
rules of London and Ireland. If a man
looks at policeman in Ireland the lat

Jail on suspicion OF beinga Home Ruler.
And still Salisbury maintains that he is
doing justice to Ireland.

SoTHE great Municipal Reform club
headed by Sam Johnson, made it's bow
to the public last Saturday night at
Harmonic hall. Revs, Gjertsen and Nor

big hall understand what he said. He
roasted the foreigners. the city admins

they did not think as he did. Sam John
con, who acted as chairman, said in his
address that the meeting had no other
motives than reform in city affairs;
that religion had nothing TO do with the
meeting, and it was for the purpose OF
finding out in how far the present city
administration had slnned, since it was
lnaugurated year ago. Comptroller
CalderwOod threw cold water on the
whole proceeding by showing figures

George WashIneton's Hatchet

In the window Of Chas. Il. Crocker's store.
on Federal ST., can be seen small Ratchet.
which is claimed, on good authority, to be
the celebrated tool used by George Washing
ton. The looks of the Ratchet indicate that
1t possibly might be what it is claimed, but
owing to the fact that the papers of the
country not more than two years ago assert
ed that there were then over one hundred
antiquarians in this country who claimed its
ownership. Mr.. Croker can hardly expect
that the public will have much faith in his
exhibit.
