Though the Atlantic cable has brought Ireland,

to America it Is nevertheless fact that the
scraps Of news which are transmitted almost
daily regarding the various and varying phases
Of the political struggle in the Green Isle do not

Nobody WAITS to be told that the Irish question
Is, and has been during hundreds Of years,
puzzle to all Of the great statesmen Of England
When In ss6 Mr.. Gladstone preparing his
famous measure, which. II passed, would have
established Parliament in Dublin. it was well
said that that great Englishman was face To
face with the greatest problem and the grandest
opportunity Of his life." His bill was defeated,
and from that moment the Irish question became
and still Is. the foremost in British politics.
With the exception of the problems Of foreign
policy. in which England plays periodically a
leading part, the Irish question has indeed always
been the foremost one. 1t is now, however, diff
ferent in many respects. and these differences
tend to mako 1t more interesting than ever before

Few people, comparatively outside OF the British

Britain indeed it might he added, few people
outside OF Ireland knew little formerly about
Ireland's demands, and cared little. Now the
whole world is fairly well acquainted with the
nature of that demand. and the whole world out

demand is alike reasonable and just. Mr.. Glad

If the Republican members of the
Congressional committee now investi-
eating the murder of John NJ. Clayton
at Little Rock are fortunate enough to
return to Washington they will have OBJ
tanned most interesting insight into
some of the hotbeds of Democratic ac-
tivity in the State of Arkansas. They
will have heard the horrible story of the
visit to Plummerville of the murdered
mans brother in search of the corpse;
they will have listened to the testimony
which elected the fact that the cormor-
ants who owned the building in which
the assassination took place demanded
of Mr.. Clayton's brother $50 for alleged
damage by blood of the carpet; they will
have experienced the excitement of an
almost fatal quarrel in the court room
where the investigation is being con-

fore they leave, become somewhat ia

AN interesting aspect of the tariff
controversy is the effect of Protection
upon the farmer and agricultural work
man who have all along been the objects
of especial solicitude with free trade
attorneys, from Mongredien of the
Golden Club to the little captain of
"reform" in the obscure town meeting.
Farmers are urged to believe that their
interests were purposely ignored in the
preparation of our tariff laws, while in
fact agriculture has been neither over
looked nor Disseminated against Quite
as many products of the farm are emu
merated in the tariff schedules as of any
other single industry. All the cereals,
vegetables, meats, wool, products of the
dairy and orchard are defended by duties
ranging from ten to fifty per cent of their
value. And the performer" who argues
through all the other schedules that the
price of the domestic product is materi-
ally enhanced by tariff on competing
foreign products, ouly stultifies himself
in contending that the farmer gets no
benefit from the tariff of 20 cents a
bushel on foreign wheat and half as
much on oats and barley raised across
the Canadian border and sold in the
United States. The 20 per cent tariff
collected on an importation of 81, 100000
value of live animals in the last fiscal
year was to that extent as complete
protection as the tariff on silks or any
other product of foreign manufacture.
Further proof that the farmer has not
been Disseminated against by National
legislation is to be found in our home
stead law. No equally liberal treatment
has been accorded in any other industry
And it may be well to remember that
this policy of giving homes to farmers
found vigorous opponents among the
same class of philanthropists who are
now working for the untaxed admission
of farm products raised in foreign
countries.
1t is quite safe to class all tariff reform
wailings, over alleged unjust discrimina-
tion against the farmer, with the equally
hollow pretense that the house building
trades command relatively higher wages
because they are not enumerated in the
tariff schedules.
