SPEA K1NaS 81 the death of Mrs. Spen
Ger Beesley, who died December II an
exchange SAYS: Z. Her death is q terrible
loss to the small band Of Liberal women
who have devoted themselves to the
cause Of Ireland. Mrs. Beesley was the
Youngest daughter Of the late Justice
Crompton, and married Professor =. s.
Beesley, in 1869. For the last few years
her soul was deeply stirred with sym
pathv for the oppressed Irish tenants,
and she worked with her whole strength.
both as President Of the Womans Lib
eral Association in PaddingtoD; and in
any other wav in which she saw any
possibility Of being useful. Her Eng
fish version of "Tne Wearing OF the
Green.' has been sung both in England
and Ireland, and is q most happy ex-
preston of the good feeling now exist
ing between English Liberals and Irish
Nationalist. Mrs. Beeslev was known
before the Home Rule agitation began
as the author ola very popular book OF
classical stories, and she brought to her
political work all the tolerance and WIS.
dom Of a cultured mind and gentle ma
ture. Those who had the privilege Of
knowing her and working with her will
feel that her place is not likely to be
flied by any other, and her death, at
the earlv age of forty-nina. will be
deeply regretted bv both English and
Irish friends. who were hoping against
hope for her recovery"

AN exchange, which has evidently
made study of the health question,
gives the following remedies tor pre-
serving it: Never begin journey until
breakfast has been eaten. Never lean
with your back against anything that is
colo. Never omit regular bathing, for
unless the skin is in active condition
the cold will close the pores and favor
congestion and other diseases. After
exercise of any kind never ride in an
open carriage or near the window OF
cal for moment; it is dangerous to
health, or even lite. When hoarse speak
as little as possible until the hoarseness
has disappeared, else the voice may be
permanently lost or difficulties of the
throat be produced. When going from
warm atmosphere into cooler one
keep the mouth closed, so that the air
may be warmed on it's passage through
the nose ere it reaches the lungs.
Merely warm the back by the fire. and
never continue keeping the back ex
posed to the heat after it has become
comfortably warm. To do otherwise is
facilitating. Keep the back, especially
between the shoulder blades. we'll GOV
cred; also the chest we'll protected. In
sleeping in a cold room establish the
habit of breathing through the nose,
and never with the open mouth. These
are all good advises but If they could be
condensed into one or two they could be
carried out easily.

NO TARIrf REDUCTION YET.

Three months have passed since con-
gress met aud still no bill for tariff re-
duction has yet been introduced. True
a few half way measures, such as the
one Congressman Snyder introduced a
short time ago. have been brought ups
but that is not enough. The people of
the country expect their representatives
at Washington to do something besides
insulting the Democratic minority and
entertaining visitors. What the people
want is a wholesome reduction OF the
tariff. but we cannot expect ANYTHING
from Republican congress pledged to
''prOtectlon." Speaker Reed has done
more to disrupt congress than all the
Republicans there, by his attempts to
either rule or ruin. He was bound to
make the Democratic representatives
vote whether they wanted to or not.
Mr.. Reed should nave had the house
rules prepared as soon after che COM
mittee was appointed as possible, and
then he would have had something to
fall back on. But to return to tariff
matters Senator Washburn says that
the Democrats do not want to let the
Republicans have the honor Of passing
a tariff reduction bill, to which the lat
ter are pledged. That has been an old
cry of the Republicans. For many years
the Republican Experts had majority
in both houses enough to carry them
over any Democratic opposition, but
they never made anv attempt to remedy
this evil, but now, as in the past. they
say they are going to pass tariff-re
duction bill. The people, who expect
to see bill covering the reduction of
the tariff on the necessaries of life, in.
PRODUCED and passed at this session of
congress, wills be disappointed. The
Republicans dare not do it; it would be
political suicide for them. We would
be much pleased were we favored with
a substantial reduction, but we will not
be gratifed to that extent. AS we do
not expect anything from them we shall
not be disappointed if they stay by
theli record.

AND still the Republican city council
OF the city of Minneapolis continues to
talk s'retrenchment and reform and
sill does nothing. The latest scheme
is to have an inspector of elevators ap-
pointed and paid bv the city. Why not
have an ordinance passed-lf there is
not one-cbliging owners Of all build
ings where elevators are. to see that
they are k pit in gocdacondition. and
occasionally send All inspector around
to see these elevators and if not az re-
quired by the ordinance, have the owner
arrested and fined. Care however
should be taken that the minimum fine
il not less than 500, few fines of this
size would have a salutary effect in this
line.

ON DIVORCES.
And Where They Gan be Procured With
the Least Trouble.

And Where They Gan be Procured With
the Least Trouble.
In Australia divorces have never been
sanctioned.
Divorces are scarcely ever known to
occur in modern Greece.
In Hlndostan either party, for slight
cause, may leave the other and marry
again.
In olden times the Jews had dlscre
tionary power Of divorcing their wives.
Divorces are scarcely allowed in Thi-
bet, unless with the consent of both
parties. Remarriage is forbidden.
In Cochin China the parties desiring
divorce break pair of chopsticks in the
presence Of witnesses and the thing is
done,
Two kinds of divorces are granted in
Clrcassia. By the first the parties can
immediately marry again; by the second
not for a year.
Among some tribes of American In
dams the pieces If sticks given tho wit
nesses Of the marriage are broken as a
sign of divorce.
If the wife of a TurkOman asks his
permission to 90 out, and be says ''go,''
without saving ''come back again.
they are divorced.
In Siberia, if a man is dissatisfied with
the most trif1ing acts of bis wife, he
tears cap or veil from her face and
that constitutes divorce.
In Siam the first wife may be divorc-
ed. but not sold as the others may be.
She may claim the first child. The
others belong to the husband.
Among the Moors. if the wife does
not become the mother of boy she
NAV be divorced with the consent ofthe
tribe and can marry again.
In the Arctic region man who wants
divorce leaves home in anger and
does not return for several avs. The
wife takes the hint and departs.

WE DON'T WANT DISOORu.

Some people are never satisfied. IL
they had a blanket mortgage On the
earth they would want the armament
with it's millions of consultations
thrown in as security, and even then
they would not admit that they had
enough. The Philadelphia Freeman is
one of this class. In its last issue it de
votes column or more to abusing
President Fitzgerald because he did not
call a convention of the Irish National
League and have the treasurer's &C
count audited by committee of that
body, instead of appointing commit
tee of that BODY, for that purpose, and
hints that doing so, he wanted to cover
up something. Itsays: ut is unsatjsfac-
tory because of the manner of the ap-
pointment of the committee. as we'll as
of it's personal. If the Commander-in
Chief of the Grand Army, or the prin
cipal officer of any other American Or
ganiZation were to arbitrarily postpone
it's conventions and appoint commit
tee largely composed of non members.
or unworthy members to audit accounts
of his administration, it would be justly
regarded as an admission of his desire
to conceal something disreputable or
dlsgraceful, and he would be forced by
universal public indignation to step
down and out. Especially would this
be the case if he had endeavored, as
Mr.. Fitzgerald has done, to suppress all
knowledge Of the committees appoint
ment until after it had met and al
jnurned." There are two misstate-
ments in this which we cannot under
stand how the Freeman could be SC
foolish as to make and 80 publicly too.
It says that Mr.. Fitzgerald arbitrarily
post poned the Leagues convention.
This is not correct. 1t was in Difference
to the wishes of the Parnellites that nc
convention has been held for three years,
and it was at the request of Mr.. Parnell,
through his secretary, Mr.. Harrington,
that no convention will be held this
year. Yet the Freeman would .'roast''
President Fitzgerald, because he fol-
lowed Parnell's advice and paid nn at
tention to 1t. The other misstatement
is that Mr.. Fitzgerald suppressed all
knowledge of the committees appoint
ment until after it had met and adj
journed. This is false. 1t may be that
the Freeman's force did not hear Of it
until it was all over, which, to say the
least. speaks bad for them. Yes: the
committee was announced several days
before it met, and If the Freeman does
not believe us let it look up the files of
some Of its city dailles and it will see
the call published there. We always
knew that eastern journalism was very
slow, but we would not be surprised
after witnessing ttis blunder on tire
