The general election which will decide
Ireland's fate for another decade will
soon be held, and We are confident that
England and Scotland will return q
Liberal majority to parliament. But
that Will avail Ireland but little If a
united parliamentary representation is
not returned to Westminster. What can
Ireland expect from British parliament
even though Gladstone is at the helm, if
her representatives are not united on
what the country most needs? A Lib
eral government would most certainly
abstain from passing any effective mea-
sures until the peoples representatives
had agreed on certain line of legisla-
ton. It rests with Ireland whether
home rule will be granted after next
election or not. This thing Of fighting
for this or the other man for leader
means ruin to Ireland, and the man VINO
seeks the Office at the expense of his
country should be set aside entirely.
We do not propose to dictate TO The Irish
people what man they shall select for
this important Office, but we affirm most
positively that Ireiand's future is of
much more Importance to her than the
question Of who shall lead the Irish
party

STREET RAILWAY MATTERS.

| Several we'll defined protests have
been made the past week by interested
parties against what they term 'fpoor
| street car ser7ice.'' People living along
and adjacent to Nicollet avenue beyond
the old motor junction in the Thirteenth
ward held two meetings to protest
against poor service on the Nicollet line.
Residents along IIyndale and south of
Thirty. first street also met and demand
ed that the company proceed at once to
the construction Of the proposed Bryant
|, aveuue line. This was not all. The
Trades and Labor Assembly at sheir last
meeting took up the transfer check sys-
tenn, and will do all they Can 10 get some
needed improvements IN that line. They
also want cars to run later evenings
than they have been in the habit of run
ling, that Eemployes in mills and fac
tories may be better accommodated. A
number OF these men live quite a ways
out, and it is great hardship TO oblige
these poor men after working twelve
hsurs to walk home. There should be
trains leaving HenDepin and Washing
ton avenues on ali lines as, late as 1890
am. to accommodate this class Of labor
ing men. There liz no sense in pulling
of trains before midnight. The inter-
urban cars are also taken off much
earlier than usual. The street RAIL
way company is slowly but surely
getting itself into hot water. When we
come to consider thas the Minneapolis
company made some >s55, 600 in July
over and above all operating expenses,
il is 10 be wondered why The company is
80 slow to make their necessary improve

deal no doubt for the city, but they
must not forget that the people have

GERMANY has decided to admit
American pork free of duty. OF course
this was the best thing Germany could
do in the face of poor crops and hard
times there. Europe will have TO pull
down her tariff signs for a time, and
give her people a chance OF getting
cheap breadstuffs. America has got an
abundance of good things this year, and
our farmers will get an opportunity OF
paying off some old mortgages. Money
should tt. erefore be cheaper than ever
before in thus country. For all these
favors Minneapolis will give thanks in
the shape of a monster harvest festival.
Already hundreds OF our business men
have made preparations for this grand
event, and we trust it will be a demon
stration worthy of the cause. When
we contrast our prosperous condition
with that Of Europe, we will see that
we have every reason to feel thankful.

EGAM WAS NEUTRAL.

The insurgents in Chill have every"
thing in their own hands now, and peace
xelgns supreme. If Balmaceda Was the
tyrant he was reported 70 be, then it is
y good thing for the country that he
was defeated. Tyranny and oppression
should not be tolerated in those days
and naore particularly in a republic like
Chilli. A few days ago it was said THAI
Minister Egan was much interested IN
Balmaeeda's SUCCESS, but later dis
patches put q different color On things.
Iigan declares he remained neutral all
through the struggle, and took no part
whatever SO far as the warning factions
were concerned. Last Saturday cor
respondent Of the New York Herald tel
egraphed from Santiago long interview
he had with Mr.. Egan. The dispatch
says: t'Mr. Egan talked freely and ap-
peared to feel keenly the fact that his
official acts had been criticized and his
motives impugned. The minister en-
phatically denied that he had shown
partizanship fer Balmaceda. He said
he retained his esteem and by so doing
he was enabled to save the lives of MANY
prominent leaders Of the opposition who
were hourly in danger of their lives.
He said he had never profted in any
way by connection with a nitrate
cheme. So tar as sympathies went they
were extended to all. Tie Herald's
correspondent has also interviewed
members of the junta and leaders OF the
opposition, as well as Balmaceda ex-
officials. One and all agree that Mr.

TIE WEEK IS ATTRACTIONS,

The past week Was the busiest one
that the Twin Cities have seen since
SileIs articles o. incorporation were filed.
Thousands Of bright, healthy and pros
perous farmers came to town, bringing
their families with them. They had
much to see between the state fair and
the exposition. Every train that came
in the first part of the week was laden
down With humanity, All anxious TO see
the sights, The people Of the cities had
prepared themselves. to entertain th4
visitors, and as the happy visitors ar
rived they were cared for by their
friends. The crowds 1T the state fair
were very iarge-~larger chan ever be-
fore, and tbey were all we'll paid for the
few cents they expended to get inside the

the fair management, and President
Clough was more happy than ever.

sALIsBURY'S PLIGHT,

The Salisbury government is in q sad
plight just now, and though She Tory
premier has done we'll, so far as keeping
his cabinet together, the t,ne has come
when there is Liable to be- o rupture
there. The secret alliance entered into
by some of the European powers in
which Russia dictated the state, and
left out England and Germany On the
Egyptian question, has set Salisbury q
Sinking. This is just where the Lib.
erals want 10 see Salisbury, He has
been caught mapping, aud is now at a
loss to know just what to do to save
England's honor and the Tory govern
ment. It seems to us az il Russia had
played a better hand chan England
supposed she held, and now Salisbury
and his cabinet are at their wits ends
to know just what to do. Of course
this is just what suits the Liberals.
They can and will taunt Salisbury aud
his cohorts with being negligent, and
the latter cannot come back with any
good reasons for their blunder. Thst
will make great campaign material, and
will 20 farther than the Irish question
in disgusting English people with the
Tory government. Had Ireland been IN
a position to wreck the Tory govern
ment it could not have accomplished it
more effsctuauy than the present state
of affairs brought around by Russia.
England always tries to ally herself with
some strong European power whenever
question pertaining to foreign coun-
try in which England is interested in
comes up. That policy she has pursued
for many years, and always profted by
it, for she never went into deals Of that
nature without having more to say than
those in partnership with her. Every
thing is therefore working for Ireland's
benefit oatside Ireland, and If the Irish
people would look upon the case just as
it is they would soon see the folly Of
following different and opposing leaders.

THAT prairie fire that started ia Faux
county, South Dakota, a few days ago,
and which WAS reported as having
burned up all the grain there, did not
do so much damage as at first reported.
A recent dispatch from Faulkton says
that the Milwaukee road ssnt an agent
there to ascertain the extent Of the
damage done by the fire, and ha found
that the reports sent out were very
much exaggerated. This is encouraging
but there were many farmers who lost
all they had, and they should receive
prompt attention.

among the friends and foes of that
country. The Tories, who never want
to give Ireland anything, are wroth
over the "audacious'' measure; while
many of the Irish leaders are said to be
angrily dissatisfied with the deficiency
of the scheme. Or course no one ex-

Home Rule, in the full comprehensive

THE Milwaukee, railroad company
says that the proposed river route out
of Minneapolis is impracticable, and
that any proposition to change their
present right of way to the river bank
cannot and will not be considered at all
by them. This is too bad indeed, but
the company expresses its willingness
to consider any other measures that the
city council should see fit to propose.
This Of course, is encouraging, as 1t
shows q disposition Oh the part of the
company to do the best it can. There
is no question about the fact that some
thing must be done with the Milwaukee
tracks in order to protect life and limb,
but the company should not be crowded,
CT forced into doing something chat the
city might have reason to regret later
Let the matter be discussed in all its
bearings, and let the best possible way
out of the difficulty be assured at first
before anything is done. The Mil
waukee road means to do the right
thing by the city, but Of course it can
not be expected that it will sacrifice its
OWN interests to help the city. We
could not expect that, bat low that the
company is willing to do whatever it
can consistent with its own interests,
let this city do it's duty in the premises,
and before long we will see those tracks
either in mere safe condition 90 far as
the public is concerned, or in some
other place.
