THE IRISH CAPITOL.
THE FAMOUS DUBLIN PARLIAMENT
HOUSE AS 1T is TODAY,

The Mecca of Irish Patriots-Thc So Called
TWAS Dcstroyed--Lord Cornwallis-The
Real Irish Parliament to Come.
Every reading American has some gen
eral ideas of the noted Irish parliament
OF 17S2-1SOO-thc free parliament" as
lrishmen call it, 'Grattans parliament"
as 1t is often known i'll history 1t was
not Grattans i'll any strict sense of the
word, and it lacked very much of being
free, but it came little nearer thereto
than its predecessor, and as the last par
lament in Ireland it has acquired a fic-
titious glory. For nearly century the
old parliament house has been occupied
by the Bank of Ireland, and recent events
have revived popular interest in it.
1t was on Feb. 8, 1928 that the founda-
ton stone of the house of parliament
was laid by Lord Lieutenant Carteret
III the kings name with great ceremony
and full Masonic honors. In 1887 it was
completed, and in 1892 fire so far de-
stroyed the house of commons that it
was rebuilt in the form of an octagon,
with a gallery for spectators OF this
structure only the corridor remains, the
rest having been remodeled for bank pur-
poses, but the house of lords, used only
by the directors of the bank, remains al
most exactly as it was a century ago.
And to this day patriotic Irishmen still
gaze upon it with mingled feelings as
fancy colors the past and heightcns the
glories of the days of Flood and Grattan,
of Fitzgibbon, Plunket and Curran.

THE TRUE SITUATION.

A remarkable article appears in the
The True Situation" 1t is remarkable
for two reasons: 1t is an editorial on the
front page, and it Ia the official utter
ance OF the best informed paper in
America. The Post states plainly tina
1.-THE purchasing clause of the Sher man
law cannot and will not be uncondition-
ally repealed"
Continuing the Post says that care
full and reliable canvass OF the Senate
shows compact, united and agressiv @
majority of eight against repeal
The departure OF the President for
Buzzard's Bay is hailed with Joy by the
silverites, while the supporters of tho
administration feel as though their
prop and mainstay had been taken
sway. The policy OF the silver Sena-
tors will be the passage OF a free coin
age bill at an increased ratio, and this
the Post says they will be able to put
into the House, where, however, it will
probably be blocked.
If this is the true situation, tue
country may as we'll understand it now
as later. 1t is time, too, for the anti
silver crusaders to stick to facts. Silver
purchases did not drive gold out of the
country; extraordinary imports ami the
sale of American securities by hard. up
European investors did. Prices are SO
low in America and exports are so
heavy that over $40, 900, 900 in gold are
on the water coming this way The
financial stringency is so severe that
the holders of & overnment bonds are
rushing them into the Treasury through
the national banks in order to get the
30 per cent. of notes which the Treas.
ury issues against them.
All signs point to an easy money mar
ket within the next thirty days, and a
sharp advance III prices ill along the
line. The banks OF Roanoke have been
unusually strong and safe through these
troublons times, and the turn towards
better times is already felt. Deposits
Increased in all the Roanoke banks
yesterday to the extent OF several
thousand dollars, Notwithstanding the
heavy pay rolls which always fall on
Saturday and which generally cause de-.
posts to fall on that day. All that the
public need TO do is to keep is conf.
dence and move along.

COLONEL O'FERRALL' b VICTORIOUS
MARCH.

To THE EDlToR OF TIE TIMES; Col
onel O'Ferrall has "busted the traces
and dun run off," is running over every
thing and smashing things up in general.
There seems to be no way of stopping
him. He appears to be alike indifferent
to States, combinations and everything
else of the kind. He goes on and on
through valley and over mountain,
sweeping everything before him. Cities
strongly guarded by the wealthy and
tho elite of tho State tremblo at his ap-
proach and surrender at his bidding.
From Bristol to the Potomac and from
the mountains to tidewater is heard the
voice Of the people everywhere demand.
ing the nomination of Hon. Charles Il.
O'Ferrall. The opposition, which really
never was anything moro in number
than a respectable farce. ought now to
close it's place of business and make
O'FerralPs nomination unanimous from
the start.
The real contest is over, the nom;na.
ton las virtually been made by the
people and it is only left now for the
delegates to assemble in convention
and formally ratify what the people
have done.
Virginia is a great State and it is n
great honor and proud distinction to
be her governor. Colonel O'Ferrall
has made himself worthy of that honor
and his fellow citizens recognizing that
fact have determined that he shall
have it.
Virginians love brave, active, earnest
man. y. y. y.

that O'Ferrsll headquarters will be

to Judge East or Senator Lawless at the
Exchange Hotel Immediately on their
arrival.
Every O'Ferrall delegate in the State
must be at Richmond on or before the
morning OF August II. If alternates
have been elected either the delegate
or his regularly elected alternate must
be in attendance, as neither can legally
give him another proxy to vote for him.

nate by his constituents, this point will
not be raised. But BIO sure to
go to Richmond. The opposition to
Colonel O'Ferrall, as last resort to
their bafiled schemes, are trying to
persuade O'Ferrall delegates, especially
those in counties where the Tyler dele
gates are in the majority, to stay at
home, saying that "O'Ferrall has a
walk-over, and your vote will not be
needed. Stay at home and save the
expense" Don't listen to them.
