SECRETARY BALFouR has been studying
the causesof Irish distress at u distance
and makes the following observations:
Poverty Is chronic In some districts,
and will. il the people ara not aided,
reach stage of acute distress during the
winter and spring, There is neither a
resident gentry nor a substantial middle
class to give employment, nor are there
charitable organizations to aid those who
are unable to aid themselves.
Remedial measures have not been at
tempted by the English party. It has
contented itself with showing how bad
the Irish people were and with op-
posing all efforts OF relief
that the Home Rule party has
proposed. 1t 10 a shame 10 Great Britain
that evils. poverty and distress should
exist anywhere in her dominions. II Is
not SO necessary to enquire the causes as
to determine upon and apply the cure.
That Is what the statesmen have never
attempted to do for Ireland That is the
sensible, the right and wise course, as IL
Is the only effective course to pursue.

infamy Senator Wolcott took even
stronger ground than some Of the
Democratic Senators who have spoken
against ths bill. He criticised the Demo
Gratis for want of frankness in dealing

ther than they have gone in their speeches

struggle to preserve the domination Of
intelligence over ignorance. He thought
the people OF his state would not permit

S A. KEEN, the Chicago banker, who
has just made such a swindling and dis
astrous failure, used to boast that he did
business on Christian principles The
banking. as well as all other kinds
Of business, should be done on Christian
principles. " but the community should
beware Of the banker. the merchant or
the politician who boasts Of t5e possess
sion, OF Of tho exercise OF Christian prin-
ciples. A man may as we'll boast Of
being honest, Of being well hammered, Of
being a gentleman. Those qualities
should proclaim themselves. They bo-
long to a good man, like chastity to a
good woman, and he is surely
b. pocrite who boasts Of them, and
generally fraud or a felon in addition
Centuries have come and gore since the
world was warned against the Pbarisee,
and yet the tribe goes on swindling, be-
guiling and robbing just as II the warn
ing had not been given and thousands Of
examples furnished to prove It. The
world cannot learn to beware Of Phari-
sees in business. in politics, in religion.
Every succeeding generation must take
It's own experiences, because only a
small proportion OF each generation is
intelligent enough to know what hap
pened to the preceding generation, and a
still smaller proportion knows what
happened Eve generations ago.
