CHARLES STEWART PARNELL died at
his home in Walsingham Terrace.
Brighton, Eng, on the 9Th inst Thus
death has removed another antagonistic
element from foreign politics.
THERE are million more men than

nearly million more women than men.
Here is a chance for international cour-
tesv that does not include American
heiresses for titled foreigners.
THE Atlantic transportation lino have
offered TO bring all exhibits to the
Worlds Fair across the ocean free. As
the greatest obstacle to extensive For
eign exhibits is the expense of transport
tation this will lead to a remarkable
showing.
MANY papers have been devoting
columns of editorial breath over the
recent suicides Of prominent people,
not IN extolling their virtues, but in
trying to account for the act It's a
mere waste of words, they are rs dead
as they ever will be.
CHARLES STEWART rAENELL was
buried al Glasneyin Sunday Contrary
to expectation there was no trouble. al
though an immense crowd attended and
good deal OF crushing and inconven-
fence ensued. Some foolish floral offer
ings were rendered with such notices
as revenge" "ap g for an eye and
tooth for tooth" e
4 MANIFESTO has been issued by the
parliamentary colleagues of the late Mr.,
Parnel, calling upon Ireland to sustain
the cause although their leader Is dead.

all events a large amount of personalism
has been removed that was sufficient TO
kill any cause no matter how just.
THE Seminal publishes interviews
with lake Captains 10 disprove the
theory of equinoual storms. No matter
what you lay them to, it is unquestoned
that rs a rule we have quite spells of
weather in The spring and fall That
the sun happens to cross the line about
that time may not be the cause, hut it

IT IS now claimed that the proportion
If people owning their own homes has
fallen in twenty five years from five
Fights to three-eights per cent through
protection. This is the silliest argu

nothing to do with emigration except in
offering the foreigner q better home.

for home right down. The vast ma
iority begin with nothing and after
wears of toll gradually clear their homes
of incumbrance, many fail, others are
content to rent, while all who have

ing home maker, who can be found on
every side with competency acquired
in the past quarter century.

For the third time prisoners have wrig

hole in the brick wall aud escaped. A
determined prisoner has but TO give
vigorous kick and section of wall
gives way. 1t is n disgrace to the
county Probably the building OF the
Sherif"s residence in front was expected
to make it safe enough, but that has
not been done and the prisoners are
practically without guard at night.
Tuesday night proved the cells to be no
stronger than the light brick wall out
side, and it is time some Improvement
was made Grant County is able to
afford strong jail with walls # stone
and cement Of not less than two feet
thickness, this could be added or made
