the Irish members could do little IN par
Lament, not because Of any fault Of theirs,
but because OF the people Of Ireland fail
ling to send large body s5of Independent
members to strengthen their bonds. II
| that were done he thought the immediate
result would be to raise the curse Of Ire
land from the position Of onten1pt into
which it has fallen. The first effect Of
such d course would be TO teach English
politicians that the Irish members cared
nothing for English parties; that ~ their
own nationality they were supreInely sell
fish; that their one object in England was
to forward the cause Of Ireland, and that
they would deal out impartial vengeance
to every English party that denies to their
country the rights to which It y entitled.
Mr.. Redmond further said that he felt
the profoundest shame at the spectacle
which the opponents Of the indepen dent +
presentd to the world Of miserable, sQual-
id, personal quarrels and discussions, OF
men who apparently think more OF their
own paltry personalities than they DO OF
the sacred cause which they were elected
to champion, men who are today divided
into half a dozen corps, who are at one an
others threats and who have given to the
English people the strongest argument
against home rule that has ever been adj
yanced. If their own language about
themselves be true then they are un-
worthy the confidence OF any serious Irish
politician. If either one side or the other,
the Dillonites or the Healyites, say what
is true, the party to which they belong is
unworthy the confidence of Irish National
lists and If neither of their statements Is
true still their party is unworthy Of conf
dence because it is made up Of men who
can level such base and unfounded charges
against their own colleagues to whom they
ought to be bound by ties Of loyalty and
cmradeshlp.
The language Of, this thoughtful Irish
man is the language of the whole
world who. have given the sub
ject of Ireland's miseries a thought or who
have hoped and longed and striven for her
deliverance. And let it be understood
that these faction fights for personal SUI
premacy will receive our encouragement
on this side Of the Atlantic. It was only
the other day that the Irishmen Of Boston
after consulting with their countrymen
throughout the state, resolved that not a
dollar should go from that section to help
on election controversies in Ireland, but
that as soon as they had ceased their Kill
kenny antics and resolved upon policy
Of procedure that then and only then
would money be forthcoming. Probably
If such course had been adopted in this
count y few years ago we would not
have heard Of SO many Irish shindies and
something beneficial might have been Sc
cured in the British parliament. AS It is,
with their personal quarrels and unseen
" antipathies England has found 1t safe
and convenient to give them an insult

islation upon them, and as with the Mon
tagues and the Capulets cries. "a plague

FOOD AND FARMING.

IN this state this year there have been
80 crsameries and 20 cheese factories
started. The explanation given for the
establishment OF the greater number Of
creameries over cheese factories is that
hog raising has become an important In
dustry in this state of late and that as
skim milk, which Is returned to the sell
er fresh from the creameries but not
from the cheese factories, can be fed to
the hogs, the milk dealers prefer sending
their milk to the creameries, getting az
they do the same price for it from them
as they receive from the cheese factories.
Another gratifying feature in connec-
ton with the increase Of creameries Is
that they are driving oleomargarine out
Of the state because they can make and
sell good butter at such low figure that
the manufacturers Of the imitation ar
ticle cannot compete with them. This
is another argument, even if another ar
gument were needed, that the farmers Of
the Northwest should give their atten-
ton to the raising Of diversified products
instead Of combining themselves largely
to the production Of one article, as has
been the practice In years past, particl-
larry in the growing Of wheat. a va
riety will not only prove better FOR the
soil, but will be a safeguard against the
failure Of any one crop, and apart from
these considerations diversified farming
will return a much greater profit, one
year with another, than il the former
method were adhered to.

NEW INSTRUCTIONS GIVEN,
More Complications for the
Collectors of the In
come Tax.
Aggrieved Citizens May Pay Under
Protest and Bring Suits for
Their Money.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1.-THE
Treasury Department to-day issued to in
come-tax collectors series of supple
mental instructions to conform to the
recent decision of the Supreme Court. The
instructions are as follows:
First-Interest received from State, county
and municipal bonds or securities and rents
from real estate are not taxable as income. but
persons or corporations receiving said interests
or rents shall include in their returns as re-
ceipts the full amount thereof received, OF
accorded within the year for which return is
made, and shall deduct the same as not subject
to taxation.
Second-The amounts actually paid for taxes
insurance and repairs on real estate may be
deducted from income.
Third-An the persons and corporations that
have heretofore rendered income-tax returns
for the year 1894, to collector or deputy col
lectOr, including therein interest received
from State, county or municipal bonds, or from
rents from real estate, may have the amounts
on said interest and rents deducted from their
income by duly making an affidavit, and de-
hvering the same TO the collector or deputy
collector to whom the original return was rem
dered. 1t requires that persons in making re-
turns in future show clearly that rents in
cluded and deducted were received only for
real estate, and include nothing whatever paid
for rent or use of personal property or
franchise.
So far as payments are concerned, the de-
cisions of Commissioner Miller will prob
ably be final. Aggrieved citizens may pay
the tax under protest, bringing suit to re-
cover their money.

rum of twelve and Joseph Smith were in
executive session until midnight last
night, and this morning early the session
was resumed. Questions of grave import
ance to the church of the Latter-day Saints
are being considered, an undercurrent of
restlessness among the laity having
awakened the leaders OF the saints to a
realization that something must be done
to overcome the spirit of opposition mani
fest each day since the conference began.
At the afternoon session the principal
business transacted was the selection of the
next place of meeting, to be held April s,
1896. The contest for the conference be-
tween Kirkland, Ohio, and Lamont, Iowa,
went to the Ohio town by vote of Gil to
361, after a heated debate. A resolution
was passed indorsing the use of tents in
all districts which the presiding elders
might deem necessary as the most ayaila-
BILE and effective means of reaching certain
classes. The resolution was presented by a
committee appointed on the question. 1t

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, April IL
The case of the United States against A. A.
Edgington of Avoca, which was put ON
trial in the Federal court this afternoon,
promises to be one of unusual interest, as
some of the stories told are quite sensa-
tional.
All the parties concerned are well known
throughout the country. The issues in
volved w. B. Cuppy, his brother, G.. NJ.
Cuppy, and Mrs. Jennie NJ. Edgington, the
mother of the defendant, each of whom is
under Indictment and viii have trial
after this case has been disposed of.
A jury was secured, and after short
recess District Attorney Fuller made his
opening statement. He said that on Janu-
airy 4, 1893, Jennie M. Edgington filed a
claim for pension as the widow of Fran
els M. Edgington. who enlisted in the
Thirty -fifth Iowa Regiment of Volunteers,
Company F, at Onawa, Muscatine County.
He never served in that company but an
other man is drawing a pension to-day
under the name of Francis NJ. Edgington
and he belonged to the company and regi-
ment mentioned.
The defense asserted that they would
prove that Edgington's father served in
the army as alleged and a man answering
his description and whom his family think
was Edgington died and was buried as f.
NJ. Edgington. Interesting developments
are anticipated.

foot, laid in row, covered with brush and
burned alive. Others were slashed and
hacked to pieces. The men of one village
when fleeing took the women and children,
some 500 in number, and placed them in a
sort of ravine. After several days the
soldiers found them and butchered those
who had not died of hunger. Children
were frequently held up by the hair and

killed. The lowest estimate is 10000, and

UtGh's Constitutions.
SALT LAKE, UTAH, April 11.--Politics
came to the front to-day in the Constitu-
tional Convention in the discussion of the
legislative bill An effort was made to add
section to the bill declaring that the Leg
islature shall have no power to make any
grant of public money or anything valu-
able to any individual, corporation or
municipality excepting in case of public
calamity. After long discussion the sec
ton was defeated by strict party vote-5o
Republicans to 43 Democrats.
The question was brought up a second
and third time in different shapes and de-
feated by the same vote. An amendment
was then offered that the Legislature shall
have no power to authorize or grant any
county or municipality authority to
grant an extra fee, compensation or allow
anoe, nor pay any claim hereafter created
against the State, county or municipality
under any agreement made without au-
thority of law. The Democratic strength
was augmented by Republicans on this
proposition and it passed by vote of 81
to 46.
Roberts CD proposed section to the
bill which was in substance that neither
the State of Utah nor any political subdi-
vision thereof shall ever give or loan its
credit to an individual, association or cor
poration without first securing two-thirds
vote of the people. This was lost by party
vote-49 Republicans to IS Democrats.

TWO OUTLAWS KILLED.
another Battle Nth the Desperate Dore,
Train Robbers,

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April ia special
to the Star from Hennessy, o. T., says: A
Lacey mail-carrier brings the news OF
another desperate battle between the Dover
train-robbers and the United States Mar
shals in which two more of the outlaws
have been killed.
On Tuesday night the Marshals had
located their quarry and were waiting for
daylight. During the night the birds had
flown again. Taking the trail they were
tracked to deserted ranch seventy miles
northwest of here. The outlaws were sur
rounded by the officers and challenged.
Their reply was volley of bullets. Then
followed desperate fight.
The outlaws attempted to force their way
out, and after sharp battle three escaped,
closely pursued by party of the Mar
shals, the remainder taking charge of two
outlaws who had been killed. None of the
Marshals were badly wounded except one,
named Moore, who received bullet in the
shoulder, more painful than dangerous.
