HOME RULE COMING.

The prospect of the final passage Of
the home rule bill by the house of COM
mons is very bright. Yesterday, when
it was reported from the committee of
the whole, distinct victory was gained
by the shutting off of amendments Of
which previous notice had not been
given. Mr.. Balfour, the conservative
leader, had given notice that he pro-
posed TO introduce certain amendments.
SO had several other opponents Of the
measure. When the time arrived for
the Offering OF the amendments those
who had proposed them were not presen.

NO PARTISANSHIP.

The members of this congress will
make very grave mistake il they at
tempt to transact the business of the
extra session upon partisan basis.
The country is III no mood for politics
while the business in all sections and
all lines is suffering as it is now.
There seems to be disposition on
both sides to use the occasion to make
party capital. If this is pressed to an
extent that delays or embarrasses the
measures for the relief of business the
responsible party will suffer more than
the politicians may at present appreci-
ate.
1t is the business of the Democrats to
propose the relief measures, and it is
the business Of the Republicans to help
push them through the two houses,
making them as much better as their
strength will permit.
1t is not impossible that occasion may
arise to justify the Republicans in as
suming the attitude of pronounced OBJ
struction, but it is to be hoped it will
not be so. The Democrats have the fate
of their party in their own hands and,
unfortunately, they have the fate of
the business Of the country in their
hands also.
The statesmen of both parties have
their making or unmaking to attend to
now, and the country expects that they
will consider its needs first, last and all
the time.

and Speaker Peel very properly refused
to recognize substitute.
II is to be understood that these pro.
posed amendments were not offered
with any idea or intention of improving
the home rule bill. The sole purpose OF
their introduction was TO cause delay
and postpone to as late day as-possible
a final vote.
The fact that through their own neg
ligence the conservatives and liberal
unionists were unable TO carry out their
scheme for obstruction gives cause Tor
congratulation to all true friends OF
Ireland,

He struck the town in 'si,
A rich, effulgcnt glare
or diamonds and such like truck,
That told OF most uncommon luck,
And how some poker game was stuck,
Did penetrate the air.
We all fell back and let him pass,
Because he came from Boston, Mass.
He cracked his jokes. fright stale were thcy)
And, as in duty bound,
Each sinner in the town of Clay
Perceived their humor right away,
And in each sally, old and gray,
priceless jokelet found.
"By gum" they said, "that joke will pass
Because he came from Boston, Mass"
The village maidens trotted out
The best they had in store,
With artful glance and guileful guile,
They practised on his Eastern style,
Submerged him in their favors while
Their cast off lovers swore.
"All this" they vowed, has come to pass
Because he comes from Boston. Mass"
Next day they found the pampered dude.
His toes just cleared the ground.
The moral let me make quite plain;
Don't buck agn the Western swain,
twill cause your relatives great pain
IL you're hangln' found.
Don't try to steal Western lass,

ncspoc, For a stoahcr-in-law.

A lady not long since received lesson on tho subject of proper feeling for her mother-in-law which will last her long time. Her husbands family wore very affectionatc toward ono another--loYcd one another with even more than the or linary devotion of close kindred. It nay or may not be to the point to mention that they nlso liked great wakes we'd dings and christenings.
 The husbands mother died in course of time at a good old age. He and his wife had saved a little money against the contingency of his being without work in cold weather, when tie bod car rying business is dull. In his big gust of grief over the sad event, the husband re. solved to spend every cent of that money in giving his departed maternal relative grand funeral Nothing was too good for her. Food for his wife and baby, keeping the wolf from the door in cold weather, when members of his profes- sion were mostly on their uppors, was IS nothing. A great funeral and an ele- gant wake the old lady must have. His brothers and sisters were richer than he and needed no help from him in interring the good dame in proper, evea fashioRa, ble, style. But TO! The affectionate son whose profession was not prosperous ill cold weather would have none Of that. He would never feel that he had done his duty by the old lady unless he put that 2e5 into grand wakp, .
 Unfortunately at this point there was a difference of opinion between him and his wife. She ventured to hint tint siie and the baby needed the money moro than his mother did, especially os the old lady's other children We're qui,e able and willing to provitle a wake that would drown ltie sorrows of rhe nest afflicted and bcreft fu:2ily in the state. He in dignantly repudiated the idea and re preached her with cold heartedness and want of feeling for her departed mother in-!aw. But she insisted, unfortuna tely for her own sake.
 Then the grief stricken son fell upon her and gave her such beating that sht did not get over it in two weeks, Ill teach you," said he Gs he mauied he, black and blue, ito show disrespect tc my mother, and she dead and in her cof fin and looking to all her children tt give her an elegant wake. Next time your mother-in-law dies you'll know how to have proper feeling for her."

Peoria and Madison Streets.

1t is an outrage on the American nation and not to be borne if the pagans mis- treat our missionaries in Turkey and China. By all means let congress take 1t up and make war if necessary, so that only our missionaries be avenged and our national honor satisfied.
 But meantime, how about the corner of Peoria and Madison streets, Chicagof A woman evangelist, Mrs. Rice, de- voted and eloquent Christian lady, has been trying to hold opon air meetings there. She said nothing incendiary, nothing unlawful. She was only preach. lag the sweet, thrilling old gospel, bringing the good tidings of Christianity to those who chose to listen. Two thou. sand people gathered about.
 This is what happened, according to report of tho Chicago Tribune:
 She had been talking only few moments whom certain tough characters could be seen moving to the center of the crowd, where Mrs. Rice was standing. At first they contcnted themselves by jeering her remarks and using the most obscene and profane language. Then some one in the crowd throw stick or stone which struck the woman In the back, and the next moment there was a perfect shower of decayed fruit, sticks and stones.
 Mrs. Rice asked that the collection be taken. While this was being done the crowd quleted down, bnt no sooner was 1t finished and the money handed to tho preacher than some one In the crowd shouted, We want that collec- tion."
 As if the rouGhs and toughs had been wait Ing foS signal simultaneous rush was made from all sides of tho chair upon which Mrs. Ricewas standing.
 Realizing that further attempt Co coaduet the religious services would be impossible, Mrs. Rice sought to dismiss the meeting and aske the crowd to join In singing the doxology. The tough element present tried to drown the good old tune by singing rlbald songs at tho top of their voices. They realized that the services were about to close and that their fun" was over, Then they pushed forward until they crowded hss frem her position on small box.
 The defonselesB woman was kpopked down and kicked while lying on the gronnd. Shs was badly brGised and seriously injured. She was carried 10 a store on the corner and med ical assistance summoned. No arrests were made, as the persons who were directly TO. sponsibls Tor the outrage could not be eppro- hebded
