FOR IRELAND's LIBERTY.

Timothy Healy. John Dillon, and Others
Address Large Political Gathering.
DUBLIN, April S.--A political meeting was
held to-day at Nenagh, county Of Tipperary.
The speakers were Messrs. Timothy Healy,
John Dillon. Arthur O'Connor and P. J.
O'Brien, all Of whom are anti-Parnellite
members OF the House of Commons.
large audience was present. people going
into the town from all the surrounding coun-
try. Mr. Healy, in the course Of his speech,
said that with the passage OF the home rule
bill in the House OF Commons the Irish
cause had leaped into light. The Liberals.
he added. had kept their word in regard to
home rule, and he believed that they would
fulfill their pledges in relation to bill for she
relief of the evicted tenants in Ireland. He
regretted that the government would not
agree TO release the Irish political prisoners.
Mr. Healy further said he thought the gov
ernment ought to again appeal to the electors
In a few months when it was certain it would
get a large majority.
MIR. O'Connor urged that the persons who
had grabbed farms from which the ten
ants had been evicted should be treated as
social lepers.
Mr. Dillon said he did not think that gen.
eral election was near. 1t was to the interest
Of Irishmen to retard the holding Of general
election.

FIRE AT cONEY ISLAND.
The Famous Bowery Loses Many Of Its
Most Attractive Baunts.

The Famous Bowery Loses Many OF Its
Most Attractive Baunts.
New YoRx, April s.-A fire ragged on that
bedlam thoroughfare Of the west end Of Coney
Island known as the Bowery early to-day.
It swept away half dozen barrooms, two
hotels, two restaurants. an amusement hall,
and glass palace, in which for years the
public have been accustomed to witness a
vaudeville entertainment at no further ex-
pense than the purchase of glass of beer.
A shift of the wind and hard work by local
flremen were ali that prevented the fire from
still further robblng the Bowery Of its glories.
1t looked for time as though only charred
embers would be left Of the entire Bowery
section.
The ramshackle buildings burned like tin
der The fire started in Solomon Pareza's
Glass Palace concert saloon. The iiremen,
under Chief Robert Sunderland. fought as
hard rs they could with iifteen-feet streams Of
water. but in less than an hour the entire
block OF shanties was in ashes.
Chief Sutherland inn was in this block. and
went with the rest. The saloon of Mike Cor
man. the sometime prize fighter. was de-
stroyed. as were Timothy Monkeys ear, George
Parkers and o. Smith S restaurants and bars,
Strhtton i Henderson's dancing pavilion and
Connor's amusement hall, and Martin Nei-
mer's ball.
The loss is variously estimated. some Of the
Coney Island experts placing it as high as
$780, .000 but it will probably not exceed S40,-
900.

her development as a nation in peace or In
war should be freely given. so
We lay this down az a fundamental princi-
pie which the history of nations has fully
proven to be true, with nations rs with indi-
viduals, that to make the greatest develop
ment she must use every element of strength
which she possesses. What are the elements
OF strength Of a nation? Is 1t ter wealth, or
is it her citizens? The citizen protects the
wealth that he has created the created wealth
gives him the power to protect self and prop
erty. Singly they are weak, but when COM
bined all-powerful.
The government lays tribute upon her peo-
pie for the support Of the army and navy, that
she may defend the prop erty Of the rich. This
we know is right; this is just; civil order could
not exist without it; but If the government is
put to additional expense to prote ct the prop
erty of the rich, we think that the rich are
under special obligations for that protection,
and If it takes more to protect the property
rights of the people than the people them
selves we feel that property should pay ut
least one-half the taxes.
In the United States we are told there are
from sixty-eight to seventy billions of wealth
and from sixty-eight to seventy millions OF
people. II that be true, we find the wealth
Of this country will average about 1000 to
every man, woman, and child. If you raise
one-half Of the taxes by an income tax levied
upon the wealth oil our nation, and the other
half upon the citizens, you have tax which
believe TO be both equitable and just be-
lieve that wealth should pay dollar for dollar
with the brains. the muscle, the energy, and
the intellect of our people.
Take two subjects. There is the pauper on
one side; there the millionaire on the other
side. In many instances the pauper is the
man of the greater intellect, but lacking in
that especial gift necessary to the acquire
ment of wealth; fortune does not smile upon
him; he is downtrodden and cast among the
poor Of earth.
The millionaire, on the other hand, has been
doubly favored; he is blessed with certain in
tellectual gifts that fit him for money getting
and money keeping. Our laws favor him in
his desires, and without earning it by the
sweat of his brow he becomes one OF the many
millionaires that an income tax will not very
seriously affect. WILLIAM BAKER.

WHAT DOES 1T MATTER?
Wealth and glory, place and power,

Wealth and glory, place and power,
What are they worth to me or you?
For the lease of a life runs cut in an hour,
And death stands ready to claim his duo:
Sounding honors or heaps of gold,
What are they all when all Is told?
A pain or pleasure. smile or tear
What does it matter what we claim,
For We step from the cradle into the bier,
And a careless world goes on the same.
Hours of gladness or hours Of sorrow,
What does 1t matter to us tomorrow?
Truth Of love or vow Of friend
Tender caresses or cruel sneers-
What do they matter to'us In the end,
For the brief day dies and the long night nsars:
Passionate kisses or tears Of gall,
The grave viii open and cover them all
Homeless vagrsnt, or honored guest,
Poor and humble. or rich and great
All are racked with the worlds unrest,
All must meet with the common fate

ANOTHER THOUGHT on COXEY.

Before the war the one portentous terrible
evil that those in the North saw in the South
was the fact that $4,000 aristocrats owned the
wealth and did not produce wealth and thst
the producers owned nothing. 1t was fear
full thing in America. and we knew it. 1t
threatened our institutions, and the war
came and swept the slave system away.
The war was thirty years ago. One family in
the North owns more wealth than the $780,
600 people in Washington; one family in the
North owns more than the whole wealth Of
Nebraska: and the seventy-odd millions of
people who do the work of the country own
one-tenth of its wealth, and the 1000 who own
the other nine-tenths do not produce. And
this condition OF things Is worse every year
and is inevitable as the rising of the tide.
The North has been reaching every year coz
dItions that we dreaded in the South before
the war. At the present moment they are
more startling than slavery was. Perhaps
Coxey thinks that he and his men represent
the unemployed of this Winter and that their
troubles are temporary. Perhaps they are.
Perhaps change of financial policy or a re-
versal to the Mckinley bill would start the
mills and factories again and give the mechan-
les work.
Good But that's not the end. Congress
ean not legisla.e those millions of our four
thousand owners into our pockets again.
They were not caused by legislation, and no
legislation that we can now conceive OF can
d.spel them or prevent their augmenting.
And if the millions owned by the few do aug
ment in the next thirty years in the same pro-
portion that they have in the last the Coxeys
will be multiplied million times. Coxey
will be the one relief. When his army marches
then, we will hear its tread,

The Lost Equilibrium Of Business.


The equilibrium of business has been
broken. Monopolies, through combinations
of private capital. special franchises, and in
ventions permit the work of production to
go on without employing more than frac-
tion of the people willing and able to work.
The profits go largely to those who have but
a remote connection with the essential func-
tions of productions. Over fifty per cent. of
the wealth Of the land is now in the hands OF
less than one per cent. OF the population.
The risin, generation, under our system of
property inheritance. cannot start in life on
even terms. The principle of free compe-
tition is therefore shorn of whatever virtue it
ever had.
There are LOO. 900 tenant farmers in the
United States, and 1900 of them pay one-half
of the gross products Of their farms In rent
alone. The total debt OF the country, public
and private, is s3l ZOO, ,0OO, 900; that is. one
half OF the wealth OF the country is due, not
to half the population, but to less than per
cent. OF the population.
This open account cannot be paid; and
while the adjournment of Congress may be fol-
lowed by revival of trade, it is the height of
folly to look for permanent relief. Under the
present system the equilibrium Of business
cannot be restored.

INI6hO AND NOW

An interested friend OF The TIMES has had
the kindness to send US the following order Of
the British Parliament of November 9. 1640.
Ordered upon the question by the Common
House of Parliament that all projectors and un-
lawful monopoli-s. or such as have received any
benefit from any monopoly or project, who
have procured any warrant or comm and for the
restraint or molesting Of any who
have refused to conform to any such
proclamations or projects, are disabled
by order of this House to sit as members. II any
man here knows of any monopolist he shall
name him. that any member of this House that
is a monopolist or protector shall repair 10 the
Speaker, that a new warrant may issue forth, or
otherwise that he shall be dealt with with a
stranger who has no power to sit here.
(signed) HEN RY sooBEII,
Clerk of Parliament.
"Those who sat in breach Of the order" the
record says, "were ordered to the court OF
wards on the 10th of same month";" q circum-
stance most interesting. surely, and one fit to
compare with many an incident and practice
of these modern days in Washington. The in
tention of the order must have been to shu.
out OF this ancient law making body monopo-
lists and persons with large schemes. Whether
ex-members are referred to is not quite clear;
but doubtless if they came in the category Of
projectors and unlawful monopolists they
would be no longer wanted in this fine, old,
mellow House OF Commons.
To come down to these modern days in
Washington, however. How interesting it
would be if a joint resolution should be passed
expelling from the Senate and the House all
monopolists and all the able gentlemen con-
nected with either branch, who are also con-
nected with "projects;" and what if all the ex-
members should be shut out; and what if the
ex-members who are in business down town,
or who live at some of the chief hotels and
have business brought to them which they
don't often take to the Capitol in person, but
take there just the same? The Senate and
the House would not be vacated, nor would
the lobbies, but many an old familiar face
would be missed most sadly from the halls Ct
legislation.
Unhappily, it doesn't appear what the
effect Of this fine old order was It is to be
assumed that monopoly thrived in spite Of it.
and projects also. Doubtless it might be dis
covered upon investigation that the entire
Common House Of Parliament was made
monopolistic and ali its members projectors;
for it is wonderful to observe. in these later
days at least. and doubtless human nature
was the same $50 years ago, how very attrac-
tive monopoly is if one only can interpolate
himself into it, and also how very seductive
project is if it seems likely to pan out. A GER
tain amount of fleeting character, however, is
implied in the passage of the order. Would
it be possible to pass one like it here and now?

here to-day, having lecture engagement.
Speaking about the trial, he said he does not
think that Breckinridge is a ruined man.
Said he:
Neither Mr.. Breckinridge nor his counsel
has any excuses to offer for his conduct all
the way through. Miss Pollard has carried
out her threat to expose him. IN many re-
spects she IL the most remarkable woman
ever saw. There are only two actresses in the
world better than she. and they are Sarah
Bernhardt and Clara Morris. Her affectations
during the trial were the most perfect.
She acted her part we'll, and she un-
derstood her case thoroughly. There WIS
no part OF it that she did not understand.
NV impression OF the case is that she was sim
ply practicing for entry upon the stage Her
human passions and stage actions were among
the attractive features Of the trial In nv
opinion this suit has been the most unfortu-
nate thing that has happened TO this country.

hopes that Brecknridge will win the case, yet
we had whole houses full of weapons
which we could not use. II Colonel
Breckinridge loses the case he has no
money to pay anybody. Miss Pollard
knew that; all she wanted to do was to expose
him. She has done that. Now the speeches
are to be heard. presume that the case will
end and the jury retire for its deliberations
about Wednesday afternoon. After the de-
cision of the jury will give my version ofthe
whole inside history OF the case. II Breckin-
ridge loses he will ask for a new trial; unsuc-
cessful in that, he will appeal. He will not

His first proposition is that government has
the right to exact support from all her sub

The right of taxation is tho right of sover-
eighty. The right OF the citizen is the right
of representation and protection. Taxation
without representation is tyranny. Our fore
fathers believed that only those who shared in
the benefits of the government should bear
Its burdens.
II this is to be accepted as true, would 1t
not follow that taxation on all articles Of con-
sumption is unjust?
If we take the doctrine of sovereignty as the
basis of taxation, and follow it to its logical
conclusions, We find that a government
should impose only such taxes as are most
easily borne by the citizen and collected at
The least expense.
We find many who believe, or at least
teach, that it is the duty of the weak to bear
the burdens Of the strong; that the weak
should be taxed 10 make the strong stronger.

AN ATROcIOUS ACT.

School Boys Throw an Indian Student
from the Third Floor of a College.
GuTHRrE, o. T., April s.-News has reached
here of a terrible tragedy enacted ct the Bap-
tisr Mission college at Weewaka. the capital
city of the Seminole nation. There are a
number of Indian and white boys in the in
stitution ranging in age from 10 to 20.
For some time there has been bitter feel
ing against an Indian boy named Frank
Short by u number of other students. which
was intensified during the past week bv Short
reporting certain misdeeds of several Of the
boys.
On Thursday night after all had retired in
the dormitory on the third floor three boys
stole to Shorts cot, picked him up. carried
him to the window and hurled him to the
ground.
The fall injured him so badly that he. has
since died. The three guilty boys escaped
and have not yet been apprehended.
