The London correspondent of the New
York Sun says that the recent speech in
parliament by Kier Hardie on the birth
of Queen victoria's great-grandson is
generally condemned as ill-timed and
ungracious. Comparing Hardie with
John Burns he says the latter is prac'
tical statesman while the other is poll
cal mountebank. He says Hardie is
without any influence in the House OF
Commons and that his only claims to no.
tice are his vulgar tongue and the wear
ing of cloth cap instead of ordinary
headgear.

The Chicago Herald says: Archbishop
Feehan has filed his high Office with
dignity and retic snce, never meddling in
small matters nor engaging in petty con-
tention. The first time he has spoken
publicly outside ecclesiastical limit he
has shown himself 8 man of strength,
wisdom and patriotism. His appeal to
the impetuous to- be guided by reason
and to the needless to keep away from

GEORGE M. PULLMAN.

There is not to day within the borders
of the United States man who deserves
the execration> of the American people
more than Count Pullman, the bloated
monopolist who is the cause of the pres
emit railway strike. While the country
is on the verge Of revolution and the
city of Chicago under martial law this
so-called ."philanthropist" goes to the
Thousand Islands for rest and recreation
and wires his refusal to treat with his
workmen. When asked what he would
do to avert the impending trouble he
said "I'm too tired to talk" The vice
president of the company, one Wickes, is
man after Pullman's own heart. When
visited by committee of the Chicago
council to see if some means of settling
the strike peaceably could not be found,
that arrogant functionary declined to
submit anything to arbitration. The
following interview between Wickes and
the Chicago aldermen is worth read
ing:

that it might be possible to obviate all
differences between the company and it's

SATURDAY, JULY IA, 1894.
THE GRAND OLD MAN RET1RES

THE GRAND OLD MAN RETlRES.
When Gladstone resigned the premier
ship few months since, it was foDdly
hoped that as soon as his eyesight was
restored he would again occupy his seat
in parliament as member for Mid-Lo"
THAN in order to aid the cause of Irish
autonomy with his magnetic eloquence'
But the House of Commons will never
again hear the voice Of the Grand Old
Man resounding within it's historic walls,
for he has notified his Scotch constitu Z.
ents that he will not be candidate for
reelection. That means that he will
spend the rest of his days in ''sweet re-
tirement, the friend to life's Decline" as
Goldsmith beautifully expresses it in his
deserted Village" It is to be hoped,
howe !er, that the venerable statesman
will be heard from occasionally on the
platform and in the magazines in behalf
of the rights of man. His views will be
of great assistance to the party OF which
he was the leader for so many years, and
will exert a wonderful influence upon
the legislation of his country. For his
noble services to the "sister isle" he will
always be affectionately remembered by
the Irish race throughout the world.
Though unable to champion the cause OF
Ireland in parliament on account OF ply
steal infrmty, we confidently hope that
he will continue to WELD his powerful
influence in private life for that cause,
and that he will live to see an Irish par
lament opened on College Green.
The American people admire the char
acter of the great Englishman, and to
show their appreciation an invitation has
been extended to him to visit this coun-
try at his earliest convenience. On July
3rd the invitation was sent to him by
Chauncey M. Depew, Timothy Dwight,
Chief Justice Fuller, Vioe-President
Stevenson and large number of other
representative Americans. In inviting
him to visit these shores they say: 1--WE
confidently assure you that your pres
ence in America would not fail to be re-
garded by your kin beyond the sea- as
an honor to themselves and to that coun-
try whose destinies your pen has glow
ingly and memorably depicted"
1t is possible that Mr.. Gladstone may
accept the invitation. He is strong
enough to stand a sea voyage and we be-
lieve the trip would benefit him If he
comes he will be paid great honors by
the generous American people. 1t is
safe to say that since Lafayette visited
this country, no European would receive
such an ovation as Gladstone. His work
is we'll known here and he is recognized
as the greatest living Englishman, and
the most advanced type of democratic
statesman. America would delight to
honor him and notwithstanding his great
age we hope he may see his way to come.
The present strike may deter him, but
we trust that Will be Of short duration.
Whether he comes or not, the invitation
given him is an evidence Of his popular
ity on this side Of the Atlantic, and it
will doubtless afford him much pleasure
to know that be stands so high in the
estimation of the American people.

IT is we'll for Senator Davis, Of this
state, that his reelection to the United
States senate is not by q direct vote Of
the people, or he would most certainly
be elected to remain at home after the
expiration Of his term of Office. The
capitalistic press applauds him for his
insulting reply to the Duluth man who
requested him to support the Kyle reso-
luton on what may constitute mail
train. He is called a patriot and a
statesman and is mentioned for the pres
idency because of his discourtesy. His
own party in this state, however, will not
honor him with reelection to the sen-
ate. They favor a weather. man, like
ex-Goy. Merriam, to be the mate of w.
D. Washburn. Though Davis has more
ability than both of them combined, he
has the misfortune of being compare
lively poor man, and that is enough to
relegate him to private life.

party in Massachusetts,. It is my i'm
preston that wherever there is domi-

which controls the local matters" Mr..
Havemeyer volunteered to give the fur
Their information that the American
Sugar Refining Company has no politics
Of any kind, except the politics Of bust
ness. In that respect Havemeyer re,
sembles Jay Gould, who said on simi-
lar occasion that he was Republican in
a Republican county, Democrat in q
Democratic county, but was always for
the interest of the Erie railroad. In the
matter Of contributing to the campaign
fund Mr. Havemeyer would more likely
favor the Republican party, as that is the
party of tariff protection; but on the oc-
casion in question he succeeded in get
ting the best of the United States sen-
ators, both Democrats and Republicans,
and got rawsugar on the free list, which
meant to the sugar trust that it could
keep in it's Golfers the enormous sum of
$30,OO0,0 900 which ought to 60 into the
United States treasury as tariff for
revenue only. Not only did Mr.. Have
meyer succeed in getting raw sugar free
OF duty, but tariff was placed on the
refined sugar for the benefit of the trust.
It was an outrageous proceeding, to say
the least of it; but for some reason or
other before the Wilson bill in it's mu-
tilated form left the senate the bounty
of 330,000,000 was completely knocked
out.
There have been two years of paid
bounty under the Mckinley act to pro-
tect the sugar planters Louisiana and
Texas, and third year is due, but the
bounty is held back by reason Of con-
striction in the treasury. Sugar plant
ing in Louisiana has fallen into the
hands Of few persons in late years, and
as few Louisianians are wealthy, synd1-
Gates and companies of Europeans and
Northern men were organized, and they
made large profits at cents pound
bounty on sugar. which paid the actual
cost of the crop. Senator Caffrey and
Ex- Senator White, now associate justice
of the supreme court, benefited largely
by the bounty on sugar. 1t is calcu.
lated that the latter will raise this year
abont two million pounds. One of the
biggest benefciaries of the bounty are
the two sons of Cakes Ames of Credit
Mobilier and railroad shovel fame, who
have 5000 acres of land in the vicinity
of New Orleans, where they raised last
year 100000 pounds OF sugar on which
they received a bounty of 800, 600. The
blg "bounty jumpers" are found in all
parts of the country, and last year they
were paid for the crop of 1922 more
than 100000. Whatever may be done
with the Wilson bill in the house and
senate before it becomes law, it is safe to
say that the sugar schedule as far as
bounty is concerned will remain as it
left the senate, and for that same the
people have reason to be thankful.

William ELLISON, Canadian oorre-
spondent Of the Philadelphia Catholic
Times, writes interestingly Of the defeat

cause the rascally methods that failed Of

PIP. A. in Canada and the A. P. A. in
America are twin organizations, estab-

purposes. It is immaterial in which
country the central seat of authority is
placed. The dastardly brood springs
from the same origin and their schemes
and plottings run on parallel lines.
