FUTURE OF HOME RULE.

What is the future prospect for home
rule for Ireland is not SO clear.
The house of lords have rejected the
bill the house Of commons has passed.
What then?
The lords cannot be coerced into pass
ing the bill, as Mr.. Gladstone has man y
times coerced them to support his meas
ures. The only pressure they will yield
to is the emphatic language ola crushing
defeat in general election.
There is pretty good ground to believe
that the result of a general election on
the Irish home rule issue would be at
least doubtful.
1t must not be forgotten that in
England there is not home-rule mi a.
jority; in Great Britain, even, there is
a majority against home rule.
Home rule is advocated for Ireland
only. Some of those who have done the
best work for the bill now ask why home
rule should not apply all around and at
once. 1t is a more pressing necessity in
Ireland, to be sure, but if Ireland gets
control of its own affairs why should
not Scotland and Wales, and even
England, be similarly fav ored?
The fight for home rule has but fairly
begun. Before the victory is won ii
may be We shall see the horizon of the
great reform widen until it provides for
the British possessions a government
essentially like ours, with each state
managing its own affairs and the i'm
perial parliament discharging functions
not unlike those Of our congress.

BRUTE M'INTYRE.

What shall be done with human
brutes, like the man Mcintyre. who
filled himself with rum and then ham
mered holes in his wife's skullf
1t is doubtful il he is adequately pun
ished. His wife cannot be compelled to
testify against him, If she RECEIVERS, and
without her testimony 1t will be diff
cult to convict him of murderous as.
sault.
To all intents and purposes he is a
murderer. That his wife was not
killed by his terrible blows is not owing
to any mercy he felt for her.
He struck to kill. He tried to strangle
her also. He only ceased beating her
head with the heavy hammer when she
had apparently succumbed.
When she sank to the floor, dead as
he supposed, the murdcrous brute sought
by fight to save his own neck from the
consequences of his act.
This man did not support his family
yet he spared money to buy rum. In his
sane and sober moments he must have
been thorough brute. He has proved
himself blight and curse to those he
ought to have protected and loved.
No variety of murder is more deserv-
ing of the hangman's services than wife
murder. Mcintyre is as guilty of wife
murder today as though the poor woman
at the hospital suffering with broken
skull was dead. He had murder in his
heart, he struck to kill, and he doubtless
thought he had killed.

Because the board of assessors re-

The Brennan faction of the Democratic
party hysterically denounces it as q

There Is little likelihood that the

account however. Having done their
plain and imperative duty they can
afford 10 disregard the penny whistle

The plain and palpable purpose Of the
Democrats was TO secure control of the

Irregular and illegal methods. They
id not even have the decency to secure
~ signatures Of the men whom they

large proportion Of the owners Of these
names were not consulted in the matter,
and there is ground for the suspicion
that a majority of them did not
have the $500 worth Of property
which the assessors were asked to levy
on. Moreover, it would be pretty state
of affairs If John Jones could 60 before
the board and secure from it an assess
ment against John Smith. Yet this is
just what the Democrats tried to do.
No man who has property and wishes
to qualify himself as property voter
can be deprived of that privilege. but he
must make application in person and
not through irresponsible political man
ipulations.

THE LORDS AND HOME RULE.

The rejection by the house Of lords of
the home rule bill is only what was
expected.
This body of hereditary Legislators has
always been opposed to every measure
tending toward the amelioration of the
condition Of the Irish, and such conces-
sions as it has made have been wrung
from it through fear that refusal might
lead to revolution which would des-
troy the very foundation ON which the
house Of lords stands. -s
The London Daily Chronicle in CON-
menting on the vote has the honesty to
admit that hereafter the abolition of
the house of lords will be plank In the
platform Of the Radical party.
OF this there can be no doubt. The
great body Of the English people long
ago discovered that the house of lords
was more bane than blessing, and
the feeling in favor Of its abolition and
the creation Of body representing the
masses and not the classes has been
steadily growing stronger.
This latest evidence Of the determine
tion Of the lords to defy the will and the
wishes of a majority Of the people as
expressed through their representatives
in parliament will undoubtedly tend to
hasten the overthrow of the lords-a
result that is as certain as that night
follows day.

IT is reported that the Democrats
in congress are all hot for the repeal of
the federal election laws, whatever diff
ferences they may indulge regard
ing silver or the tariff. That can
be understood. They are all elected by
a practice of methods not in accordance
with fair and honest politics. The
federal election laws only provide for
elementary honesty at the polls when
the people invoke their protection.
