FORCE AND FAMINE.

The arrest of Dillon and O'Brien yester-
day shows that the impending famine in
Ireland has no effect on Balfour's determine
tion to rule Ireland by the iron hand. The
offense OF the Irish members was in making
speeches advising the Irish tenants not to
pay rent; and Mr.. Balfour thus serves notice
upon Ireland and the civilized world that
any interference with the prescriptIve right
of extracting rent from the famine-stricken
population of that island, will be crushed
if it is in the power of the English Govern
ment TO crush it.
Determination is a good quality in its
place and at proper times; but it would be
supposed that even Mr.. Balfour would be
able to perceive the bad politics. if not the
lnhumanity, OF reyiving the policy OF dra-
cooning the people of a country threatened
bv famine. Even that stanch ene-
my OF the Home Rulers, Punch,
has evinced a comprehension of the
fact that a civilized government should
contemplate measures of relief rather than
ofrepresson when the subject population is
under the shadow of famine. That the
Tory government is unable to see any reason
why it should relax its determination to
keep the cutspoken Irish leaders in prison
and to hold ireland by the power of brute
strength rather than by that of generosity
and charity, argues determination in the
direction OF wilful blindness, commensurate
with that to rule by main force.
If the policy of repression is to be added
to the disaster of famine among IreIand's
woes, it will drive away all but the most
bigoted from the support of the Tory gov
ernment. But there is a sad possibility
that before the Tory overthrow can bring
relief to Ireland, great share of the Irish
will be beyond relief.

of the position assumed by the colored
people it will be the strongest proof that the
trouble in Mississippi is not SO much the
ignorance of its colored voters as the stupid
determination of the whites that race
prejudice shall dominate its politics.
We do not think the Mississippians can
stultify and condemn themselves in the
eyes of civilization by rejecting that offer.
An impartial educational qualification will
establish new era in that State, and set an
example which other States will do we'll to

OUR SHORT STORIES.

quote the precedent which justified his making

deprive your honor of the unique distinction of
establishing that precedent yourself"
Well, here is even better yarn of legal
precedent which was picked up by William
Henry Hurlbert, the ex-editor of the New
York World, while gathering materials for his
work on Ireland Under Coercion.
Hurlbert was in Cork one Easter week during
the spring assizes and dropped into court on
Holy Thursday afternoon to see how the crown
off clals disposed of agrarian cases in that dls-
tressful country. The court was about to ad-
journ for the day and the trial OF the prisoner
in the dock. who was charged with shooting his
landlord, was not yet over. Every possible
chance to delay the proceedings was being
eagerly grasped by the defense ana Detore the
days business was half-concluoeu' tne prison.

He STARTED A GRAVEYARD,

Out in the Erie coal fields near Burlington,
Col, few years ago lean, freckled-fa
fellow, with high Spanish heels on his boots,
walked into the Stone AND Quartz saloon at
Burlington, and, leaning his long body on his
bony arms on the bar, turned round to the half
dozen loiterers who were in the place. and with
drawl drew his lantern jaw down on his fan
mel shirt and said:
"How long has this yer camp been run
nin'?"
1.-TWO years." replied the bartender without
raising his eyes.
Graveyard begun yitf'
mot yit."
"'Bout time the camp had one. S'pose 1 start
one?"
One bony arm left the bar. 1t never reached
its owners belt. There was a noise that
sounded like a man dropping log chain in an
empty hardware store and this noise was fol-
lowed by a crash of exploding six shooters from
the loiterers. A curtain of white smoke rolled
I'D against the ceiling. The man at the bar
made lurch and then fell upon the floor. Six
bullets were in his body.
A graveyard was started in Burlington next
morning. The lean man started it himself
Burlington is now wiped out. but high up ON
