BosToN Republic: Lord Randolph
Churchill, who is a statesman given to
startling surprises, has recently brought
a scheme to public notice which is de-
serving of support and encouragement.
It is proposal to give to the schools of
the Christian Brothers in Ireland their
share of the school funds appropriated
by the imperial Parliament. Lord Ran
dolph maintains that these institutions
are admirably conducted, that they are
dong excellent work in the cause of
education, and that, therefore, they
should receive the proportion of the
state aid to which they are entitled.
For the last three years it transpires
that no less than forty per cent. of the
children for whom result fees had been
paid by the intermediate education
board have been trained and instructed
by this humble and assiduous fraternity.

PHILADELPHIA Freeman When
Balfour sprung his half baked Land
Purchase Bill upon the astonlshed
Tories, that dull witted party could
only partly grasp the meaning of the
political mountebank who now acts as
conservative leader OF the House OF
Commons. The dismay of the Liberal
Unionists who mad left their Glad
stonian allegiance because the Grand
Old Man had introduced measure in
some degree similar, can be more easily
imagined than described. Almost with
out exception Chamberlain and Church
ill, liberal renegade and Tory squire,
fell atoul of tbs proposition and ridi-
culed the theories Of the Salisbury Gli-
emile. But the Prime Minister knew and
understood perfectly this fact, that the
majority in the Commons was of neces-
sitY obedient, since any failure to pass
such bill would lead to a dissolution,
the results of which would mean po-
lit1cal destruction for the malcontents
in the Tory combination. Hence Bal
four's lnsistence on his bill.

extortion of rack.rent or the encourage
ment of eviction. For this the police
are kept at cost rapidly mounting to

The concensus of opinion on the In
gaIls-Massillon plagiarism is that the
Kansas Senator absorbed the sublime
ideas of the venerable prelate, and in
making free translation of the text
either forgot to or did not think it
worth while to use the quotation marks.
Inc world will be the gamer by the
Plagiarism, however, attention having

A Disastrous Hallstorm.

A disastrous storm of wind, rain and
hail passed over the northwestern part
of South Carolina the other evening.
At Central the amount of rain and hail
that fell was unprecedented. The hail
stones were not very large, but the
quantity was SO great that they drifted
down in one basin above railroad en-
bankment to the depth Of from three to
four feet. Crops were beaten out of ex-
istence. In some fields it is difficult to
see that any thing was ever planted.
Fruit was almost entirely destroyed,
gardens were completely obliterated,
windows were broken, trees blown down.
and birds and poultry killed. The dam
age can hardly be estimated.
