THE DEPoPULATloN OF IRELAND.

Beaconsfeld once expressed the opin-
ion that the surest way to obtain per
manent settlement of the Irish question
was to sink Ireland for twenty-four
hours to the bottom of the Atlantic
Ocean. Balfour's system is less drastic
and not quite so quick in its operation,
but he claims for it equal thoroughness,
if it only be kept up long enough The
Irish question is rapidly settling itself
under his regime, he says, and the
census returns, just issued, show that
he does not speak without warrant
At the present rate Of settling itself
the Irish question will have ceased to
trouble the current of British politics
in about ninety years, for Ireland will
then be deserted, or colonized by Eng
lish and Scotch planters

but then they are not in politics. OF
course, however, when man has not

Baxter Springs news. [volume] (Baxter Springs, Kan.) 1882-1919, 1891-07-25

All the unions in the county were
represented and reports from all were
encouraging and stimulating. We
cannot but feel that faithful attend
ance upon these county conventions,
which are held every three months,
would result In great benefit 10 our
ladies individually, both in the intel
lectual and the spiritual stimulus af-
forded, and that work all along the
lines would thus be easily carried on
with redoubled power.
The delegates were entertained by
the Baxter union at Mrs. G. Polsters,
who served fine dinner in her usual
first class style.
The report from Mrs. Morgan in re-
gard to her special work, scientific
temperance instruction in schools"
was among the items of great interest
in the convention. To our great re-
greet Miss Rose Haworth was obliged
to resign her position as county super
intendent on account of impaired
health. Miss Haworth has done val
liable work for our county society for
some years. AS a faithful, efficient,
wise and acceptable superintendent
she cannot be surpassed. While we
deeply sympathize with her in her in
ability to serve us longer, yet we re-
joice that we have among us lady
possessing such high qualifications for
the work as Mrs. S. H. Morgan, our
new president. Her long experience
as president of union in Indianapo-
lis, added to personal traits which win
the love and confidence of those asso-
ciated with her, combine to make us
extend to her hearty welcome as our
new president. We sincerely hope
that our ladies will endeavor TO assist
her in all ways that they can. Long
may she live 10 lead US on to greater
victories in the cause of temperance
and christianity than we have ever
hoped for.
In the evening Mrs. Battles gave u
q public address. The Baxter union
furnished the music, double choir
from the Methodist and Presbyterian
churches being in attendance. The
rendering of our white ribbon song
was beautiful and effective. Miss
Ruth Mitchell gave a recitation which
was listened to with deep interest.
After q collection amounting to
$436 the convention adjourned.
