father, brother and sisters had fallen victim
TO consumption, and that more than once
he had been menanced by the fell disease.
The reaction in his favor was completed by
the memorable speech Mr.. O'Brien deliv-
cred on leaving gaol for his seat at West
minister in reply TO the taunts OF the
Irish secretary. To that speech, i'm
FASHIONED in its eloquence, trench
ant in its argument, MIR. BIlfour
made no reply, and from that hour the
British public, with its instructive respect
for pluck had different opinion Of the
member for northeast Cork. IL must be
admitted that, successful as he has been in
the House of Commons, Mr.. OBrien has
never excelled If he has equaled this
effort of two years ago. When
carrying the fiery cross through
the eviction districts OF Ire
land be has never more thoroughly carried
with him all the feelings Of his audience
than he did on that great occasion. Mr..
O'Brien is always effective in the House Of
Commons when he is understood but too
frequently the rapidity of his speech renders
it almost incoherent. Before a special
commission he made a speech which evoked
warm praise, even from Sir James Hannen
Although six years the senior of William
O'Brien, Tim Harrington became q promi-
nent figure in Irish politics about the same
time. He became a member Of parliament
in 1888, a few mouths after his appointment
as secretary of the national league, to which
he had been recommended by active services
in Kerry and several terms of Imprisonment
Mr. Harrington was actually imprisoned
when elected unopposed for the
county of Westmeath. having re-
ceived sentence of twelve
months for intimidating the farmers,
against whom he threatened agitation if
they did not pay their laborers fair wages
At that time, of course, the constituency
consisted entirely of farmers. Unliko his
two colleagues, Mr.. Harrington glories in
the most splendid health. His figure is one
OF the most stalwart TO be seen in the House
OF Commons, aud mis- cheer can be heard in
the lobbies. As proprietor Of the Kerry
Sentinel, as well as the secretary of the
league, Mr.. Harrington has been so often
prosecuted that he has lost count of his
imprisonments, but he emerge5 from the
prison gates as hearty and CHEEKY as when
he entered them. FREDERicK DoLMAN.
