A HoME-RuLE PLAN.

Whatpurports to be Mr.. GLADSTONE 8
plan for Ifish home rule has been pub
lished in England. Its outlines are as
follows:
The division OF Ireland into four provinces,
each province to have viceroy and legis-
lature the latter to elect life members of an
irish senate. which is to sit in Dublin, with
one of the viceroys as its president. Neither
of the proposed legislature nor the senate
however. is TO enroll troops, establish for
eign relations. or impose taxes upon COM
merce between Ireland and any British coun-
try; and all questions of constitutionality
with regard TO Irish legislation are to come
before the privy council of the imperial gov
eminent. In imperial affairs Ireland is to be
represented at Westminster according to pop
ulation.
1t is impossible to believe that MIR.
GLADSTONE really contemplates putting
such a plan of government in force in
Ireland. Four viceroys is three worse
than one, and another house of lords
(as the proposed Dublin senate would,
in effect, be- is not to be tolerated. Ire
land wants no senate whose members
would sit for life. Such an institution
is Incompatible with the idea of free
government. In England the abolition
of the house of lords is question of but
a short time. and yet it is proposed to
establish a similar body IN Ireland in
connection with an ostensible move
ment for the relief of that oppressed
country.
Four vjceroys instead of one! A nd
four Legislatures without the power of
one! 1t was not for such ''home rule'
that Ireland has toiIed and prayed and
striven. Until Mr.. GLADSTONE con-
fesses it with his own lips, we will not
believe that he contemplates such
trayesty on justice for Ireland.

FAVORED BY FORTUNE.
Capt. Streetor, a Mariner of tho
Great Lakes, Shipwrecked
Into a Fortune.
His ShiDwreCked Schooner Now
surrounded by Land Worth
$3OO,OOO.

CHICAGO, Dec. 3.-Capt George w.
Streetor, hardy old mariner of the
great lakes, proved today that a man
can be Shipwrecked into fortune. Five
years ago his schooner, the Ruatan,
was drivan ashore one stormy night
at the foot of Superior street. Being
believer in Klsmet, the captain propped
up his boat and resolved to take uD per-
manent babitatiOn there, converting his
boat into a house The city objected,
as he was on its property, and he moved
the boat little north. Then he en-
cOuraged the dumping of dirt around
his house, and was soon entirely sur
rounded by dry land. The next move
was to record a survey of the land and
claim it as his by Squatter sovereignty.
This was in 1890. Then the trouble be-
gan. t. *. Fairbank, the lard magnate,
instituted proceedings to GUST the cap
tam, claiming that he had bought that
portion Of the lakeShore, with all ripaUi-
an rights. before the captains advent.
The captain converted his hOase into
fort and armed his wife, and when an
attack on his property was made they
drove off the intruders with ShOtgunS,
incidentally shooting, a. couple of them,
but not fatally. Although Mr.. Fairbank
is multi millionaire, he has not to date
succeeded in Tecapturing the property,
which now comprises about 500 feet on
Superior street. Today the captain has
sold for $4,000 a lot 50Xl00 to Jacob
Nine. He still has $50 feet frontage
left, and, by the price set by the sale,
the whole tract is equal to $500, 900. The
five years since the captains shipWreck
have been worth $50, 600 year 10 him.

of acres of the finest wheat laud

millions Of acres of the finest wheat iaud
in the world. Nowhere can such vast
| and unfailing yields of the finest wheat
be found as in the Saskatchewan and
Assinaboine countries. in the Peace and
the Frazer river valleys. The Peace
river valley is a paradise large enough
to furnish large farms to 100000 peo-
pie. The summer frost is unknown
there; the climate is faultleSs. and the
soil the most productive, not only of
small grain but of corn and other things
raised in the warmer states of the Union.
And yet the Peace river valley is COM
paratively wilderness. The Frazer
river valley is 900 miles long. In it is
government experiment farm which
was established in 1874, and not a fail
ure of crop has occurred during these
years. Why is it, then. that Iowa. Min
nesota, the Dakotas. Nebraska. Kansas
and all our Western states have trib-
led and quadrupled in population since
1874, while that magnificent Canadian
country has shown but a small in
crease? 1t is because the people of the
old world are weary of every remnant
of the old feudal governments, and
come here to find a government of and
for the people.
With the annexation of Canada our
American capital would find broader
field for operations; the great Canadian
Northwest would afford wealth of
mine and soil for our development. The
advantages we would gain by anneXa-
ton are so apparent that it seems use
less to call attention to any feature
of them. The advantages Canada
would derive by it are inestimable.
Everything the country would be to us
it would be to them. and, in addition,
they would soon be relieved of the bur-
den of their enormous debt. The Unit
ed States might hesitate to assume their
debt; but should that country become
part of the republic, the rapid inflow of
people induced by the union would
diminish the per capita rate of the debt.
and the burden would soon be wiped
out of existence. At any rate, we should
be one people from the Gulf of Mexico
to the Arctic ocean. Our interests are
the same, and if united we would have
the most powerful and peaceable nation
the world has ever known.

LA INQUIRE IN DOUBT.
The Pembina Statesmen in q Pc
CuIiar Position,

The Pembina Statesmen in q Pc.
culiar Position.
The most interesting member of the
North Dakota colony at the Merchants
is the stoical senator from far-off Penn
bina, Hon. Jud La Moure, who has
been in the city for medical treatment
for month past. Mr.. La Moure was
one of the pioneers in Dakota territory
and has been prominent in the politics
of both the old territory and the new
state in the north. Up to the Hans
brough contest he was close friend of
|. the Acknowledgment combine, but in
that contest he was strongly favorable
to the reelection of Senator Gil Pierce,
while the other fellows were determined
to take Pierce's scalp.
Later on in the night it became pretty
evident, so the anti-Pierce men say,
that the Pembina statesman had sena-
torial aspirations himself and that he
would be willing to allow Pierce to go
down, provided he could secure the
plum. This could not be brought about,
according to the anti-Pierce men; at any
rate. it was not and the breach between
the erst-while allies is still as wide as
ever. The indications now are that the
Pembina statesman will go into the
coming senatorial fight in very indie
pendent frame of mind. A few days
ago a local North Dakota paper pub
lished an Item saying that there were
''fifty-one Republicans, thirty-nine
Democrats and Independents and Jud
Lamoure."
~ guess that is about right" said
Mr. Lamoure the other day when his
attention was called to the statement.
II hardly know where L belong in this
fight. Two years ago was nominated
by the Republicans and Endorsed by the
Democrats. l shall try to figure out
where belong by the time the legisla-
ture meets"

PLACING TaE BLAME.

The GLOBE may very properly, this
| morning, repeat what it has had occa-
sion to say before, that in the matter of
the police administration of the city of
st. Paul it has not particle of feeling
against any officer of that administra-
interest in every material concern of the
city, and does not propose to sit supinely
and see this fair municipality fright
fully and shamefulIy mlsgoverned in its
police department without not only a
vigorous protest, but an earnest effort
to meet and correct the wrong. The
GLOBE has abundantly demonstrated
that the detective force of the city was
wofully and lamentably incompetent,
and if corroborative evidence were
necessary. it is furnished by Chief De-
tective MASON himself, in his testi-
mony, given in another place.
But the GLOBE repeats, and with
added emphasis, tnatit does not propose
that Detective. MASON shall be made
the scapegoat upon which the real and
responsible heads of the administration
shall unload their own shortcomings
and inefficiencies. VIDoCQ himself
could not have guarded this city under
the present reform administration,
hampered as MASON declared himself
to be. and as he necessarily was. There
is no escape for those really and morally
responsible, and there can be no ques-
ton upon whose deserving heads will
fall the righteous wrath of plundered
and thug-ridden community.
If there was one lingering doubt in
the mind of any citizen of st. Paul of
the correctness of the position taken by
the GLOBE throughout this police
trouble, it is now dissipated. A more
complete vindication could not be de-
sired. And it could not come from a
more significant source than from the
lips of JOHN w. MASON, chief of de-
toctiVeS.

KING CHRISTIAN.

The little toy kingdom of Denmark is
just now in the throes Of constitu-
tional crisis. Old King CHRISTIAN is
a jolly old soul, but his prodigious sue
cess as father-in-law appears to have
rather turned his head. He is father-in-
law to tue future king of England and
emperor of India, to the grand duke of
Cumberland and to the ear of Russia.
He is rather prouder of this last connec-'
ton than Of the others, and latterly he
has evinced strong inclination to
adopt the cZar's plan of government as
his own. ParIiaments and other limita-
tions on the power OF the crown he re-
CARDS as impertinent and unnecessary,
so he has set about to re-establish his
sovereignty on the basis of abSOlutism.
He has contumaciously sent the
rigsdag home and issued bunch of
laws Oh | is own responsibility. He re-
lies on the devotion of his subjects
to support him in his views. but as those
views embrace an increase of taxation,
they require degree of unselfish devo-
ton which doesn't seem to suit the pop
ular notion. Accordingly, the people are
FESTIVE, and complain that the father-in-
law business is ''all right as far as it
goes, but it goes too far" The enter
tainmenr of royal or imperial son-in-
law every six months or SO, and some
times several of them at once, is trifle
too heavy drain ON the Danish re-
sources, and King CHRISTIANS subjects
would prefer less hospitality and lower
taxes. Moreover, although car isn't
so very Objectionable as son-in-law,
the Danish people don't want one in the
person of their own sovereign.
just how the squabble will event
uate the GLOBE doesn't profess to know,
but it would be willing to risk small
wager on King CHRISTIAN. The sons
ln-law will probably see to it that the
dear old fellows whims are humored,
however much an inconsiderate popu-
lace protest.
