PARNELL.

The death of Charles Stewart Parnell
was wholly unexpected, and the sudden
ness of his taking off makes the shock of
the announcements the more severe. Par
nell was born in 1916 in the County of
Wicklow, Ireland. His mother was
daughter of the American Admiral
Charles Stewart. On his fathers side
he came of a family of politicians
and statesmen. He was educated at
Magdalen College, Cambridge. In 1874
he was chosen High Sheriff of Wicklow.
In 1875 he was sent to Parliament to rep
resent Meath. In 1879, by his statesman
ship aud organizing ability, he won the
leadership of the Irish party, and in 1879
became President of the Irish National
Land League.
His fine ability for leadership put him
at the head of the Home Rule movement
for Ireland. His action in that capacity
led to his prosecution for sedition. In
1SS1-2 he suffered conviction and six
months Imprisonment. Parnell was by
no means a brilliant man, but he had
great organizing ability, and he possessed
that peculiar force of character that COM
mands the confidence of a following. He
had statesmanlike qualities of such pos

age the cause of Ireland in the British
Parliament and in the local politics of his
native isle No Irish leader in the CEN
tury was more implicitly trusted by the
Irish people who embraced the Home
Rule cause. To them he was at once seer
and leader, and for many years his judg-
ment dominated in all the councils of the
Home Rule party.
Within the last few months Parne1rs
hold upon the Irish people visibly les
sened. Dissensions grew up within the
Home Rule party. leadership was dis
puted, scandals of personal character
were charged against Parnell, and in dis
tricts where he was confident shortly be-
fore of the support of the voters, he suf-
fered signal defeat. While he was tri-
umphant in his celebrated contest with
the London Times, he was but partially
successful in healing the wounds party
dissensions had opened in Irish politics.
The personal scandal attaching to him

his marriage. But the party Of which
he had been so long the pride and sole
leader was disrupted within recent
months, and Parnell became the head of
but minority, not enjoying the con-
tidence Of Gladstone and his follow
ing, and unable TO command the sym
pathy for the Irish cause that less than
two years ago was so potential and ap-
peared to be sweeping the Home Rule
party rapidly to triumph.
The death of Parnell will probably
have the effect of reuniting the Irish
party. There is no one on his side to
succeed him, and as the division was due
most largely to his personality, its re-
moval will naturally tend to bring the
warning factions into single line of pol

THE Louisiana Democrats have become
alarmed. and with reason. The lottery
issue is absorbing all others, and party
lines are breaking down so rapidly that
outside of national matters there remains
now very little party discipline. The
Democracy in this extremity has sent
throughout the State large number of
stump speakers, who are doing their ut
most to call the membership back to the
fold. Unfortunately for the party, how
ever, it is responsible for the legislation
that brought on the lottery campaign,
and the orators are therefore everywhere
catechized to their confusion. The party
slogan has been "anti-monopoly," but
the proposed lottery grant is the most
enormous of monopolies, and explain ii
as they may the stump speakers are un-
able to convince the people that they are
sincere. A wing of the Republican party
is not in a better situation, for the Legisla-
ture referred to received Republican sup
with honesty and decency the lottery
people could not have carried their meas
ure. The party organizations in short
are disrupted in Louisiana by the lottery
issue, and members of both parties are
deserting their party colors and putting
their energy into the anti-lottery fight
conducted by the Anti-Lottery Leagues
Until the lottery question is settled, in
deed, party politics in Louisiana com
mand no attention from the people.

DESPERATE BATTLE.

IEsparto Independent.

Esparto independent
Abraham May of Brooks came down
on Sunday to take in the town, so to
speak. and t9 exhibit his rattlesnake e
muflier, which he wore conspicuously
about his neck to keep off the warm rays
of the sun, as there was no danger Of ice
forming on his mustache. The muller
or the rattlesnake skin was four and a
half feet in length, and the snake which
had worn il for a covering with its head,
which May shot off, measured fully five
feet of fight and viciousness. In the
thickest portion of its body the snake
was as big as goblet, and its color was a
dirt brown with white stripes. 1t or its
skin was most repulsive to view. but it
attracted great attention as worn la
Brooks. MIR May also killed its mate.
The affair happened IN this way: On Fri
day Mr. May, armed with a shotgun,
went hunting for game not protected by
statute. AS he was passing beneath a
! ledge of rocks he heard above his head,
| but in close proximity, the ominous hiss
! of snake, followed by a rafting. Jump
! ing back few feet he glanced in the di-
/ rection of the noise and saw big snake
about to spring upon him. Realizing the
NECESSITY of dispatch, he quickly aimed
/ his shotgun and blew of the snakes
! head and about six inches of its body.
! He had scarcely done this when there
came another Kissing in his ears, and he
saw the mate of the dead snake springing
upon him. Its ietid breath and flashing
eyes were close to his face for an instant

THE MATTER OF A NEW CHARTER.

We have never believed in the chatter
that the present city charter is so honey
combed with illegal, void and unconsti-
tutional sections that it is impossible to
enforce its provisions, or those of laws
enacted under it, if anyone sees fit to re-
sist.
There has been great deal of that kind
of wild talk, but never any demonstra-
ton of material specific fatal errors in
the charter. The bugaboo has been
whipped through all sorts of dances for
years to suit selfish ends and fright fear
ful souls. Nevertheless the city govern
ment has gone on, and the laws have
been fairly well enforced these thirty
years.
But putting that aside, we concede that
new charter can be drafted that will be
an improvement upon the existing one ;
that a charter can be made that will bring
the city more nearly abreast with the
times and the spirit of the age. And we
concede also that it is desirable to have
such new charter; not because of any be-
lief in the alleged fatal weakness in the
existing constitution of the city, but be-
cause new needs have grown up and new
systems have been introduced into the
general laws with which it is desirable
that the city should square her local legis-
lation, and because the present machinery
of government is cumbersome and Gre
stes unnecessary friction in several re-
spects.
Taking it as settled, therefore, that a
new charter should be framed, the cues
ton is, "when?" If the setting up of a
new charter will disastrously affect the
bonded Indebtedness scheme of the city,
all thought of it must be abandoned until
the debt is discharged. Whatever may
be the opinions entertained concerning
the funded debt scheme, it is now too
near successful completion to be dis
turbed. A very few years more will see
the debt wiped out and the city free from
all obligations of debt. We cannot, there
fore, afford to interrupt the present pro-
cess of discharge and throw the entire
debt problem into new waters of trouble.
1t is to be considered, therefore
whether Board of Freeholders may moi
be elected to construct a new charter
without involving disturbance of the
Funded Debt Commission; whether sucl
board may not be erected, and the ques.
ton stated above be considered by it, anC
ifit is determined that the reporting of a
new charter and its adoption would un-
seat the Funded Debt Commission
whether further charter proceedings may
not then be abandoned.
These are grave legal questions anc
should be settled definitely. We hav,
believed that since the Funded Debt Com
mission was created by special Act o
the Legislature, a new charter making
change of municipal forms, but recogniz
ing throughout the Debt Commission. anC
affirming its plan, may be framed tha
viii not interrupt the work of the com
mission. But this is not projected with
positiveness. Obviously, trained lega
minds must give the subject careful ex
animation, and they should be called il
TO that task before any step is taken tha

THE CHILEAN CLOCD.

We do not entertain the beliefthat we are
likely to have any serious difficulty with
the Provisional Government in Chile.
That it does not feel kindly to us is true,
and that it has had some cause for irrita-
ton is undeniable. AS to the present
trouble, however, publicity has not been
given to such details as to enable def
mite judgment to be formed. Our Minis
ter is protecting at Santiago certain
refugees demanded by the Provisional
Government on criminal charges. and
some of these people are Americans.
Just what the charges are, and how far
the protection afforded is justified we are
not informed.
Chile appears to have adopted a
rational method, however, Of presenting
her case; she has sent a confidential
agent post haste to Washington to lay
the facts, as she understands them, before
the State Department. This is infinitely
better than diplomatic correspondence,
which usually stretches TO interminable
length. This action does not comport
with the idea that Chile is pugnacious
about the matter, or that she anticipates
serious difficulty. In the meantime our
own Government has wisely resolved 10
be well prepared to protect American in
terests in Chile, and has accordingly
adopted the precaution of sending ships
of war to Chilean waters, but not in
greater number than other first class
nations maintain upon the South Amer
can coast.
