HAS APLAN FOR IRISH UNITY
Archbishop Of Toronto Advises a
Great Convention in Dublin.
Foes Of Ireland and Unite
the Party

Toronto, Ont, Oct. 16.-Hon. Edward
Blake left Toronto last Wednesday for San
Francisco en- route for Australia. Prior to
his departure, in an interchange of letters
between him and the Archbishop of Toronto,
DIR. Walsh, he stated that a scheme may
be formulated for the holding of a great
convention TO restore unity in the Irish
party.
The correspondence viii be made public
tomorrow by the Catholic Register. The
archbishop willingly thanks Mr. Blake for
his services TO Ireland, and continues:
ave Canadians have right 10 deplore
and deprecate the fatal dissension that
have weakened and paralyzed the Irish
parliamentary representation, and that have
thwarted and bafflcd the home rule cause.
This is not the place TO discuss the cause
of these dissensions. 1t must suffice here
TO raise our voice in protest against them
and to declare that those responsible for
them have brought shame and dishOnor on
their country and are guilty of high treason
against the Irish race at home and abroad"
His grace then goes on to make strong
plea for union, and asks: "How is this
necessary union TO be effected? How are
the Irish national forces to be formulated
in a great center of strength and power?
LET a great national convention be held
in Dublin, composed of chosen representa-
tives of the clergy and people or Ireland.
and of an advisory representation of the
Irish race abroad.
In that convention let Ireland speak out
her mind, let not her voice be like broken
musical instrumentem emitting dtscordapt notes
and iarring sounds, but let it, on the con-
trary, be clear-toned and emphatic, insist
ing on unity and condemning faction.
"Let her point out and uphold the parlia-
mentary representatives whose methods and
conduct she approves, and let her mark out
and condemn those whose intolerance OF
control, personal jealousies and animosities
have done so much TO break the unity and
waste the strength of the national party.
Discussions and feuds in the past have been
the ruin and curse of Ireland. Let her stamp
them out and cast them from her as things
more noxious than the serpent st. Patrick
banished from her shores"

A JUST COMPLAINT.

The residents of the northeast section of
the city have fresh grievance, and like
nearly all the others they have preferred,
this one appears to be well founded
Through their Citizens Association they
have complained to the District Commits
sioners that Delaware avenue, between II
and streets, is numbered up with all sorts
of stuff to an extent that iuterfcres with
the use of that thoroughfare and seriously
affects the value OF property in that neigh
borhoud.
Some time ago the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, at the request of the
District authorities, built a track into the
square which it was proposed to use as a
property yard. Since that time the square
has been blocked and the distractions have
even passed beyond its boundaries and are
encroaching upon the avenue beyond I
street. In fact, as the committee com
planned to the Commissioners, there is
practically no roadway northYa rd for
four squares.
This is little short of an outrage, for it
not only iuterfercs materially with the
comfort and convenience of people living
in that neighborhood, but is serious
check to the development of that part Of
the city and the increase in the values OF
real estate there. Even worse than this, it
depreciatcs these values in degree which
makes them well-nIgh worthless TO their
owners. That part OF Washington about
which this complaint is preferred is right
in the line OF improvements. Sooner or
later the railroad company will be com
PEELED to remove its tracks and enter the
city from some other direction, and the
square OF squares now Disseminated against
will, like other portions OF the northeast
ern section, come in for their share Of
Improvement.
Nothing, therefore, should be laid in the
way by the municipality, or permitted to be
done by the railway corporation, to retard
progress or depreciate values either now
or at any other time. The Commissioners
ought to try to give the people OF the
northeast the relief they ask for.

THE MISSION UNION.

One OF the most remarkable gatherings
OF people engaged in religious and phiian-
thropic work is the National Mission Union
convention, whose sessions in this city Will
come t. an end to-day. There never has
been q body whose labors had so large a
scope and whose influence brought to it
the representatives OF so many other reli-
gious and benevolent organizations. Prac-
tical charity, lifting up the fallen, helping
the needy, comforting the distressed, re-
claiming those fallen upon evil ways, ex-
tending the sway OF the Gospel promoting
temperance, laying down the law OF purity
TO men as well as TO women. all this has
,one within the circle of its activity and
received careful and painstaking attention.
The fact that the Mission Union is non
denominational leaves it all the more free
and untrammeled in its work. 1t vel
comes TO its ranks recruits from people of
every class and condition. No matter what
particular creed they may affect, rich
OF poor, white or black, learned or un-
harmed, native born or foreigner. all may
come in, SO that they are animated by the
one purpose to do good to their fellow
men. Itis mission the need of whose work
has long been felt in the great cities. For,
sowever worthy may be the aim and object
OF those who go forth into strange lands
and seek to convert other people to the
gentle precepts of the Christ, the greatest
need OF all is just that to which the Mission
Union applies itself. Its charity begins at
home, and all its energies are bent toward
rescuing from misery or degradation the
thousands who line the byways of great
cities and to whom the churches are terra
incognita-
How fully the great work of the Mission
Union, of which Washington has the honor
TO be the birthplace, has impressed itself
upon the public mind is testified by the
reports from pastors and leaders in reIi-
Eious and philanthropic enterprises made
TO the convention. It-has served as an ex-
change of ideas and experiences, from
which all have drawn fresh courage and
in which all have discovered new re-
sources. 1t has given a new stimulus to
the labors among the lowly, and will serve
to emphasize the exhortation. Whatsoever
ye do unto the least of these, even that We
do unto me-"

REFORM IN NAVY YARDS.

If reports of her trial trip be true the new
battleship Texas is merely monument TO
squandered millions. Built at a govern
ment yard, nder governmental supervision,
her construction has been n continuous
chapter OF mishaps and her long delayed
completion is nav crowned by lamentable
failure TO meet the requirements. Her
speed is said to be discouragingly below the
specifications aud her machinery sadly de
fective.
On the otter hand the Indiana, con-
structed under contract by a private firm
is said 10 excel in every respect the re-
quirements laid down by the Navy Depart
ment aud 10 be ship worthy to take her
place among the sple ndid war vessels that
compose the new navy.
There is food for reflection in these two
pictures. There is no reason why the gov
ernment should not be able TO build YES
sells in every respect equal to the products of
private ship yards. The failure of the Texas
is an illustration of the evil of politics in
navy yards, supplemented by the lack Of
those business methods which enable pri-
vate firms to excel them. The Federal gov
ernment can and does secure the most
skilled labor available, but the absence of
system nullifies this outlay and makes pos
sible a repetition of such a failure as this
vessel. A strict enforcement of the civil
service principle practical methods and the
elimination of politics is the lesson of the
Texas.

extension gates at every street crossing.
and a watchman at every gate. Until the
good time comes when the grade crossing
will be no more, and all trains passing
through the city will run either above or
below grade, the last possible means for
the protection of human life and limb must
be insisted upon, and no consideration of
expense or convenience, SO far as the rail-
road companies are concerned, should have
the least weight. AS regards the Bal
timore and Ohio Railway Company,
the residents of the northeastern section of
the city have good ground for complaint,
and they have right to look to the Com
missioners, or, If these be powerless, to
Congress, for that relief which the indif-
ference and selfisbness of the corporation
MAKE it useless to hope for.

CUBA,S CONSTITUTION.

The announcement OF the constitution of
the republic of Cuba marks another inn
portant epoch in the struggle of thuse
SPANS yoke and for self government
Looked at from the standpoint OF the
citizens of the United States, the iustTu-
ment, or what it appears to be from the
ou time published, is rather crude and
chaotic, but at all events it gives evidence
of proper understanding of the essentials
of government by and for the people.
In the stress and turmoil of such a
battle for freedom as the Cubans are now
waging 1t would be weli-nigh impossible
to perfect the fundamental law of the
republic. But the Intention TO establish a
government founded upon the rights and
privileges of the masses is clearly shown,
and this entities tho young republic TO the
respect, sympathy and support of all lib
erty-loving people. Here in Washington the
announcement of the constitution comes
lust in time to act as a stimulus for
the mass meeting now being agitated, and
it will help to bring out such an expression
of sentiment from the citizens of the
National Capital as will carry comfort to
the struggling patriots.
The action OF this mass meeting, taken
in conjunction with that of the people
of other cities, can hardly fail to make the
proper impression upon Congress and to
induce that body to pronounce in favor of
according belligcrcnt rights to Cuba. When
this is done and the insurgents can buy
arms and vessels in ope~ market, the day
of Cuba's Liberation and independence will
not be far distant.

b. & O. GRADE CROSSINGS.

The grade crossing again came very near,
yesterday, getting in its deadly work, and
the fact that the driver of the ice wagon,
who narrowly escaped being killed or
manned, was inexcusably careless and reck-
less, does not mitigate the culpability of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad authorities
in failing to properly guard the crossing and
the two Others close by.
There are gates-such as they are-at and
near First and G streets northeast, but
they fail to afford the security and protec-
tion that might be expected of them because
of the penuriousness of the railway COM
pany, which employs only one man to
Intend to the three gates. As matter of
fact, they are not gates at all, but simply
bars which, when nominally closed, really
stand at an angle of about sixty degrees
and constitute no barrier against the pas
sage of a wagon.
The entire track OF the Baltimore and
Ohio road within the city limits ought to be
inciosed by picket fence with automatic
