LONDON, Oct. 31-T. P. O'Connor,
president of the Irish National League
of Great Britain, was asked to give his
views on the Irish situation in general,
and particularly the attitude of John
Redmond and the other extreme Par
nellites. .OConnor made lengthy re
ply, In which he saId he regrets Red
mond's recent speeches, and for reasons
not dictated by any hostility to any Sec
ton following him. The attempt Of the
Parnellites to retain for the Irish full
strength in the imperial parliament after
home rule was near landing the party in
disaster. As it is, the retention OF even
80 members forms one of the most effec-.
tive weapons against nome rnie In the
next campaign. O'Connor regards the
urging of the demand of amnesty for
political prisoners not only perilous fer
the cause of home rule, but even more
destructive to what little chance the un-
fortunate men have of ever getting relief.
The adoption of the Parnellite policy
would spread the impression that home
rule involves sympathy with dynamite
methods. This, of course, would mean
defeat.
The fundamental point about home
rule is that every practical Irish poll-
tlcian must consider the methods and
measures with which to get majority of
the British votes for liberals at the next
Looked at from this view, the
Redmond policy is insanity. Every vote
given for the liberal party will be for
home rule, and every vote asked from
the liberals will be taken from home
rule. Redmond asks the liberal govern
meut to do everything the liberals and
tories alike believe would lead to its de-
Feat He asks that the Irish question be
dealt with; IN other words, asks the lib.
sral ministry to go to the country without |
hose British measures which form their |
'ne chance of galnipga majority. OCon.
1or thinks Redmond's policy is leading |
o the destruction of the home rule cause |
n this generation.

IRRIGATION.

Perhaps there is nothing of greater
Importance in the development of the
northwest than proper system of ir-
rigation of our arid lands, and this
may be accomplished with little en-
terprise on the part of our citizens.
Speaking on this subject the Walla
Walla Statesman says: "The arid
plains, which to-day are practically
valueless, are capable of being made
the most fertile sections of the United
States. Land that nobody would care
to take as a gift, if they must needs
live upon it in its present condition,
can be made to yield crops which, in
point of abundance, the colder eastern
states may not hope to equal. Pro-
ducing from sixty to one hundred
bushels of wheat to the acre, and from
six to eight crops of alfalfa in the year,
are agricultural feats unknown to our
eastern folks, but are of common oc-
currence on the irrigated regions of the
Pacific coast. In the east they have
more than sufficient rain, but during a
considerable portion of the year not
enough sun. On the Pacific coast
these conditions are in many places re-
versed. Fortunately, we can store up
a supply of water, whilst the east can
not impound the suns rays. Hence it
comes that we can render the most
worthless land the most valuable.
There is good money, and great deal
of it, in irrigation. 1t is subject that
merits the best consideration of our peo
pie, and the citizens of Eastern Wash |
ington should be among the most inter J
ssted." What can be applied to Eastern
Washington is applicable with equal
force to Eastern Oregon, and the sub
ect of irrigation cannot receive too
much attention from those interested
n the productions of the soil Il is
reasonable to expect In few years
he Columbia river will be an open
hannel of commerce for the producer,

night long two lines of people passed
steadily by the bier on which the remains
lay in state in the city hall corridor. The

creased toward morning, hs those who

early ycomers soon heightened the lines
again, and when finally the time arrived
for beginning the ceremonies OF the day,
and the doors we're closed, it left vast
throng on the outside who were debarred
OF the privilege of seeing the peaceful
features of the departed chief executive.
How many thousands looked INTO the
casket during the "a hours the body lay
IN state 1t is impossible to estimate. At
ter the doors closed, tenderly the remains
were borne from the black drsped cor
ridor and placed in; the funeral Car.
Though great crowd, gathered to see
the murdered mayors last leave taking

taken uD and the thousands who had
gathered to honor the dead moved slowly
through the crowded streets with ban
ners draped, and to the sad music of the
funeral march by bands distributed at
intervals through the long line. Out
from the center OF the city great pro-
cession marched across the river to the
beautiful church of the Epiphany, near
the late executives home. All along the
line of march people with sad faces and
barred heads watched the somber column,
and about the church throng as great
as that which stood about the city ball
was gathered. The remains arrived at
the church, were carried in and deposited d
in front of the chancel. where in an inn
pressive manner the solemn service for
the dead was performed. At the close
the procession again took up the line OF
march to Graceland cemetery.

The editor of the Pomeroy Iasde
pendent is Democrat of Democrats
and "to the manner born; that is, he
frat saw the light of day south Of
Mason and Dixon's line. He is a
Methodist preacher, and never forgets
his Sunday school training in editorials.
Here is che latest from his pen, jubi-
lating over Cleveland's administration:
"The children of Israel were in the
wilderness forty years under the strict-
est discipline before they were pre-
pared to enter into their possession in
the promise land. The American peo-
pie have been in the desert of class
legislation for thirty years, and they
may look for entire deliverance within
the next ten years. The brilliant
Democratic administration of Grover
Cleveland will inaugurate the mil
lenium and our ships will be seen on
every sea and within every port within
ten years and American manufactures
will glut the markets of the world OF
living prices, and the mineral and ag-
ricultural wealth of our great country
will be developed, giving employment
10 happy millions"

While the methods pursued by the
Salvation Army may not receive the
endorsement of all classes in the COM
munity, yet it cannot be denied that
they have accomplished great deal in
the bettermsnt of certain people who
could not be reached by other infu-
ences. For this reason they should
not only be tolerated, but encouraged
by all humanitarians in their efforts to
elevate the lowest strata of society. In
this connection it may be we'll to recol-
leet that the society of Friends, the
mem bers of which are among the most
respectable citizens in every commu-
nifty, was originated by George Fox,
whose eccentrlcltles were so marked
that Macauley in his history of Eng
land says "the Quakers we're popularly
regarded as the most despicable fanat
ics" They were treated with great
severity by the Puritans in the old
country and were prosecuted to the
death in New England. The Saliva
tion Army, in the next century, may
have among their members some of
the best citizens, and by their probity
and honesty may win as enviable posi-
tion in society as the Quekers occupy
now

consent. but Bland says unanimous con
sent will not he given. Bland was asked
if some arrangement could not be made

The Exclusion BiIPassed.

WAsH1NeToN Nov. 2-Ths house bill
to extend time for the execution of the
Chinese exclusion act was taken up.
DAVIS offered an amendment Ie-enacting
the act os July 5, 1884. and continuing
such act in force ten years longer. The
act of 1892 required Chinese person
when accused of being unlawfully in the
country to prove his innocence. ITO
prove his innocence" said Davis ..de-
priyed him of the common law presump-
tion of innocence until proven guilty.
There is no other law of the kind in
Christendom, and it would disgrace Mo-
ROCCO"
Squire withdrew his amendment to the
Chinese bill. The Davis amendment
was lost, no aye and no vote being taken.
The Chinese bill then passed without di-
vision.

Shocking Crime at watervilIe.

SPOKANE, WASH, Oct. 31-A shocking
murder is reported near Wa,erville,
Washington. The crime was discovered
yesterday. John Dougberty, farmer.
aged 60, hacked his wife TO death with a
butcher knife. The deed was one of fiend-
isb ferocity. The woman was mutilated
beyond recognition. and long after she
was dead the murderer must have stabbed
and hacked her body. He then dragged
his victim by the feet between two stacks
of wheat and partly concealed the body
with straw. Later, he was discovered in
a vacant house, dying from exposure and
hunger. Dougherty has made full
confession. He says his wife poisoned
his tea and threatened to dsnce over his
grave within a week. About year ago
he inserted an advertisement in Chi
cago matrimonial paper, and the mur-
dered woman, Mrs Mary E. Phillips. of
Cedar Rapids, Ia. made answer. They
corresponded, and she came out and mar
ried him. Since then they have lived q
cat-and dog lite. Dougherty has
brother in Portland, Or. He is In jail at
Waterville.

Nicaragua is Against Foreigners.

MANAeUA, Nov. The Nlcaraguan
assembly has passed an article of the new
constitution, which has been framed es-
pecially to hamper foreigners. By its
terms they will be Obliged to pay forced
loans whenever levied, aud any and all
extraordinary taxes which the govern
ment may see fit to lay upon them If
any foreigner resident here should be so
bold as to make a claim of any kind
against the government he will be exiled
at once The article may be construed,
moreover, to subject resident foreigners
to military service. United States Min
lister Baker has been to see President
Zelaya about about this imposition upon
foreigners and will take official steps for
Its repeal.

Any one who is not thoroughly &C
quainted with the vagaries of the Ore
qonian would be astonished to read
the following in that paper of yester-
day, written by the editor during a
lucid interval: "Saue or insane, the
murderer of Carter Harrison must be
hanged for the good of society. It is
not safe to indulge in metaphysical re-
fnements over the question of moral
responsibility when murderer is to
be dealt with. 1t is wrong to punish
person morally Irresponsible" There
Is no court in any country in the
world to day that will sentence man
to death for killing another if he is
proved insane, or if he is morally ir-
responsible, and the words quoted
above would have put member of the
Spanish inquisition or bloody Lord
Jefreys to the blush If the writer
understood the first principles of Grim
inal Jurisprudence he must know that
the crime must be proved in all its
details before guilt is made clear, and
this can never be done where the per-
son is net competent to realize the
natural or reasonable consequences of
his acts. 1t is not "metaphysical re-
fnements" to send an insane man to
the asylum-when insanity Is clearly
proved instead of hanging him for
murder, as if he were morally respon-
sible. This is simply humanity and
justice, and the contrary would be bar
barism and disgrace to the civiliza-
tion of the age. Still this editor, who
would hang insane as well as sane
men, holds up his hands in holy hor-
ror when the black rape fiend is dealt
with summarily in the south by the
father, husband or brother of the out
ragged victim. In both these instances
we believe in the violators having q
full and fair trsal, but the llbertine
has less rights in the community and
to live than the poor, unfortunate vic.
tim of heredity or disease.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

West Virginia Democrats are kick
ing at Stree COAL" There is roem for
kickers, and there will be lot of
them when the ways and means COM
mittee emerges from its basement.
Our esteemed cotemporary, the Port
land Evening Telegram, had leading
editorial yesterday on "A Gold
Dreamer" The article is very vision
ary, and may be properly classed as a
phautasmagoria of silver.
The trouble in Brazil still continues.
If that country could be placed under
control of an emperor, like the late
Dom Pedro, it would be great bene-
fit to residents. Free institutions
among the Latin races have not been
very successful.
Henry Olews, the writer on finance,
is termed by Democratic silver or
gan, "the great romancer in finance" I"
This is not complimentary to a man
who has made monetary matters life
study; but Mr. Clews' reputation will
not be injured in the least by being
called such names.
In the supreme court decision has
been reached in the matter of the To-
cation of the Soldiers Home, and the
injunction has been set aside and the
trustees can proceed in locating the
institution. This will answer fully the
objections against establishing branch
insane asylum in Eastern Oregon, and
it may be expected that the board ap-
pointed by the legislative act will de-
lay no longer in making the selection.
The vote on the repeal bill indicates
that it received the support of twenty
three Republican senator's, and only
nine voted against the measure. Asa
the Sherman act fulfilled
its mission and saved the country
from being flooded with deprecated
currency. Under the shadow of free
trade its repeal became necessary, and
realized the Importance
of this to greater extent than the |
Democrats.
The Democratic silver organs are
now calling loudly for the repeal of
the Mckinley tariff law; but their
cries we do not believe will be needed
BY the administration or the memb, rs
Of their party in congress. It is now
even to the Democracy, that
my attempt to change the present
avs regarding duties will work
yreat hardship on the people, and after
passing through one financial panic it
s not wise to inaugurate another.
The two big daiies of Portland have
,one to the extremes on the monetary
question. One reaches to the clouds
nd the other descends to deepest
loom as the result of repeal. The
,est way is to take a moderate and
ensible view of the matter, and look
.either for sudden disaster nor imme-
late prosperity. The causes of the
resent depression are too deep seated
o be instantly removed BY a single
ct of legislation over which the coun-
~ is divided in its sentiment.
The senate is at last "getting down
} business" and vote on the repeal
ill may be expected at an early date.
wo months have been frittered away
/ useless gabble by this august body,
nd it will be great relief to the
sople when it is apparent that it ap- ;;
reciates that the public expect work (
