.THE DEVILS ADVOCATE.


In debate on Tuesday night in the
British parliament on the financial
clause of the Home Rule bill, which pro-
posed that Ireland's contribution to the
imperial exchequer for six years be one
third of her total income and that the
same be collected by British instead of
Irish officials, Joe Chamberlain offered
AN amendment to make the arrangement
permanent on the ground that after the
lapse of six years the Irish would be
masters of the situation and do pretty
much as they pleased. Besides he de-
clared that the financial scheme pro-
posed by Mr.. Gladstone put premium
on extravaganza administration by the
Irish legislature and that it would so
conduct matters as to give good pre-
text for obtaining better terms at the
expiration of six years. When the Blr-
mingham demagogue got through, the
"Grand Old Man" arose with blood in
his eye and administered castgation
to the Liber- Unionist which elected
boisterous applause from the Liberal
and Irish members. He stigmatized
Chamberlain as the Devils Advocate"
. name which he will carry with him to
his grave.
Chamberlain has been an unprinclpled
politician. When q member Of the

this insignificant opponent of Catho-
licity. Time and space are too valuable
to waste upon such small game as Taylor.

SAYS the Methodist Herald: The
Catholic News, of New York, makes an
offer OF $4,000 to anyone who will find
arms that have been secretly transferred
to and stored in the Easements of any
Catholic church in the country, and who
will make uncomfortable proof of the dis
covery. Now, let some of those parties
who have been loudly asserting that the
Catholics were storing firearms all over
this country go to work and claim
their reward.

VERY Rev. Father Morrissey succeeds
Father Walsh as president of Notre
Dame University. The choice of Father
Morrissey as president is regarded as a
most fitting one, and much pleasure is
expressed that the mantle of the late
president has fallen on such worthy
shoulders. He was born in Ireland and
is thirty four years of age. He was or
dained at Notre Dame when tw>nty-four
years old and has been acting as director
of studies at the institution for some
time. He was also vice president of the
university.

SATURDAY, JULY %. 1893.
PUDGY BEN.

Ex- president Harrison has not recov.
cred his mental equilibrium since his de-
feat last fall. In an interview with a
representative of the New York World
he declares that the hard times are not
entirely due to the Sherman silver act,
but that the principles of the Democratic
party as enunciated in the Chicago plat
form are partly responsible for the fnan-
cial depression. He thinks that the dec
.aration of the Democratic party on the
tariff question has caused alarm among
the manufacturers, and fearing economic
changes the owners OF factories stop work
and prices shrink. The business of the
country, he thinks, could not prosper un-
der tariff for revenue only, ana he sees
no Moses at present in the Democr attic
party able to lead the business world out
of it's Egyptian darkness. During his
first term of office, Mr.. Cleveland favored
the reduction of the tariff because of the
enormous surplus lying idle in the treas
ury vaults which the government did
not need and which should have been in
the pockets of the people. When going
out of office and when Harrison took his
place there WAS $10o, 100000 of a surplus
in the treasury and it was daily increasing.
In four years Harrison's reg1ue succeeded
in eqLanderiug every cent of it and left
the govern ment bankrupt. Through
soldiers pensions, misappropriations and
extravaganza the expenses Of the govern
ment were::so increased that the high ex
listing tariff did not suffice to meet the
payments. During the last fiscal year
the income from all sources fell 4,O00,-
900 behind the expenditures? Who is
responsible for that state of things? The
tariff is as high as ever and call it tariff
for revenue only or tariff for protection
there is not enough arising from it and
from internal taxation to meet the obi
cations contracted by the Harrison adj
ministration during it's rule of four
years. Harrison may think himself
Moses for bringing the country into that
state OF Egyptian darkness" and the
verdict of the people Enthusiastically
showed that they wanted no more of bis
ru1nous system of fnanciering. He is
the last man who ought to try to saddle
the responsibility upon his Democratic
successor. The Democratic party can
not readjust matters all at once. 1t is
difficult for it in view of the present
condition of the national treasury to
make much change in the tariff schedule
but before the termination of his term
Mr.. Cleveland will demonstrate his abil-
ity of carrying out every pledge in the
platform on which he was elected by an
overwhelming majority of the people
who demand tariff reform and an econ
omical government.

THE SIAMESE TROUBLE.

the oriental skies which may burst al
any moment and involve two grea'
European countries in naval conflict
The trouble in the East is apparently be-
tween France and Siam, but in reality it
is between France and England about
territorial possessions to which neither OF
them has any equitable claim. For many
years England has been grabbing land
in Asiatic countries in her usual preda
tory style, but now that France wants a
slice of territory IN Siam as an indem nifty
for the assassination Of French engineer
and his companions, pertidious Albion
howls loudly about the injustice of the
confscation. Siam is small country
compared to France, though in area it
has 100000 square miles and has a pop
ulation of 100000 semi-civilized pc ople.
In a fight against French aggression it
would decidedly get the worst of it..
England has about 1900 of her subjects
in Siam and her trade there last year was
valued at $12, 5O0, 900, while France has
only $50 of her citizens in the kingdom
and her trade during the past year
amounted to only $4,000. Siam in the
East is like Afghanistan in the West and
constitutes what is called ''buffer'
state between the dependencies of Eu-
ropean powers, and it has come to be a
maxim of diplomacy that the main
tenance of such buffer states in their
territorial integrity is a matter with
which contiguous European powers may
rightfully concern themselves. England,
therefore, Is deeply concerned in the
Franco Siamese difficulty, and will prob
ably 90 to war with France if the latter
persists in her demands of Siam. In
reply to the French ultimatum, Siam has
proposed to pay 100000 francs indem-
nifty and also promises to punish the
Siamese citizens who resisted the ad-
vance of French gunboats into it's terri
tory, but it does not sec why it should
surrender to France the control of ter
ritory 400 miles long by 1O0 miles wide.
But what France wants is not money
but land. The occupation Of Siam would
be an achievement far ahead of the re-.
cent seizure of Burmah by England, and
as q strategic commercial and military
stronghold it would be far more import
ant to France than India is to Britain.
The English Tory press is denouncing
the rapacity of France for attempting to
grab the territory Of weak nation, hPt
the real cause Of the outcry Is becauae
British interests will be affected by the
seizure. France seems determined to
enforce her claims, and the question is
will England try to stop her by forcible
means? IF so, there will be great war
in which other European powers may in
terfere. As between France and Eng
land our sympathy would 60 with France
in the combat. We believe the war
would help the Home Rule cause as
England would like to get the Irish to
help her as in the Russian war of forty
years ago. But times have changed in
Ireland since then and VIZ think it would
be now poor place to recruit soldiers
for the British service, especially in 3
war with France which has been friendly.

A New and important Factor la American
Educatlo3.
The land grant industrial agricultural
colleges, somo of them standing upon
the vantage ground Of 4 successful
growth of n quarter of n century, can
not in themselves be considered a new
factor in our scheme OF education. IL
i, however, on account Of the ability
they have shown of serving this people
during their short existence, that sps-
c!al department has recently been es-
tablishod Ia them and tho primary de-
sire OF the writer has been to call the
attention Of the thoughtful student OF
American progress TO u factor in our
education that has sprung naturally
and wisely from the colleges as now
strengthened by special appropriation
by the government for particular pur-
pose. II Is not some new method OF
teaching old subjects in the class room
and therefore II stands in that sense
outside of the large group Of topics with
which the pedagogue is most interested
The educational element, foreshadowed
as II was TO a slight extent in this coun-
try by published results OF tests and
trials on the farm, garden, or in the
laboratory OF our agricultural colleges,
had it's national birth on March ?, 1857,
when the act Of congress was approved
appropriating the sum of fifteen thou
sand dollars annually TO each agricul-
tural college for the establishment and
maintenance Of an experiment station.
While governed By the agricultural col
lege, the station Of research is 50 dis.
tinct that with its establishment there
has been realized new and potent fac.
tor in American education. The college
at its best can give instruction 10 but a
small fraction OF one per cent OF the
farming classes, but, on the other hand,
the station through is bulletins is
means OF disseminating information
that effects instruction OF the masses
