HOPELESS FOR HOME RULE
Liberal Promises to the irish rracticair'
Forgotten.

Special cable letter.
London, July 6.-The distinctive feat
ures OF the present electoral campaign.
as compared with any previous occa-
sion Of the kind In the history OF the
country Is the number and variety OF
party manifestoes. During the week
the country has been deluged with par
ty and factional programs taking every
conceivable ground In the treatment
Of the issue upon which the coming cleo
ton Is to be contested. The general
party principles and characteristics OF
the leaders OF the various parties and
factions are shown In these addresses,
and this IL especially true OF the pro-
gram issued by the liberal leaders
Lord Rosebery sounds the battle cry o.
the liberal party in IA demand for the re-
form of the house OF lords. Sir William
Harcourt regards the local veto ques-
tion as OF first Importance and John
Morley alone puts home rule into the
forefront of the line of battle. The lib
eral and radical conspiracy OF silence
against home rule has stirred Mr.. Nor
ley to the depths Of determination, 81
evidenced by his Manchester speech, In
which he said; IF at this election the
liberal candidates shall put home rule
aside the liberal party will become the
most dishonest political organization In
the history OF England" But for this
honest utterance there Is no doubt that
the liberals would nave zone on ignor-
ing the pledges to the Irish party which
kept them In power until Mr. Gladstone
retirement from office and political life
ruined them. Mr.. Gladstone himscl.

stone has found II advisable to write a
brief letter advising the people of Eng.
land to recognize the just claims OF
Ireland" The phrase means anything,
unionism or home rule, according tc
the views of the reader. Lord Rosebery
and Sir William Harcourt in theif
speeches yesterday, however, found IL
prudent to admit tina home rule was
still a plank In the platform in the lib.
eral party. but If the Irish leaders have

have themselves to blame. The radical
manifesto is as honest and straightfor.
ward a declaration as any that has been
issued. 1t simply advocates home rule
not only in Ireland but In Scotland and
Wales az well, beginning. however, In
Ireland. The radical program places
democratic reforms first on the list, but
unless the balance of the parties in the
coming parliament shall restore the
value of the Irish vote, which Is not at
all likely, the chances are that the Irish
cause will be postponed for at least a
decade.

age does not amount TO more than
81, 900, which. he says, was made good
by his bondsmen. He claims that his
arrest was brought about by his politi-
cal enemies. The charge against him
upon which the requisition papers
were obtained is forgery, he having, SO
il is charged, forged the name OF county
officials and others TO obtain the money
embezzled, which is said To have been
lost in land speculation. After his
flight from home Johnson went first to
Kansas and thence to California.

owner of the tiny fortune in a feeble
old woman Of shattered intellect con.
fined in a state institution.
In the early days of the mining ex-
element In Nevada Kate Welch was q
noted woman among the mining camps
and easily acquired the fortune now
awaiting it's proper claimants. But
Kate WelchS were numerous in those
days, and the right one had several
other names, which she used as her
fancy dictated. According TO the dis
~coveries made she left Lynn, Mass, In
1867 or 1868, and settled In Nevada. She
went back to Lynn in 1870 in an en-
deavor to become ~reconciled with her
husband. She remained there three
months, though she failed In her mis-
sion. From Lynn she went to Boston,
and then came out to California. On
February u, 1880, she was %adjudged
insane, under the name Of Kate Welch,
alias Anna Howard, and committed ia
an insan asylum.
a possible heir has also been found In
a man named John Buckley Of st. Louis,
who claims to be her son. He lost sight
of his mother some twenty-five years
age, when she left her home in Massa-
chusetts, and had not heard of her
since. AS Kate Welch was her maiden
name, ii is believed that Buckley may
be- able to establish his kinship.

Scotland and Wales were concerned
neither could be carried without eH-
citing the most passionate resistance
of the people OF England. The policy Of
the ~unionists, his lordship declared,
was a positive, not a negative one. for
they intended TO legislate with a view
to decreasing the suffering Of the

the agriculture Of the country and
would also give their attention to the
creation Of small holdings for tenants,
the revision OF the poor laws, and would
consider measures for the amelioratiOn
