Eelony. DAILY was sentenced for life
and Eagan for 20 years. Eagan was re-
leased in January. 1893, and came TO
this country as a delegate from the Am
nesty association Of Great Britain,
which position he still holds.
DAILY has been in Ill health almost
from the time that he was incarcerated.
For seven years he was held in Chat
ham prison and was then transferred to
Portland prison. All through his i'm
prisonment he has remained a hero
among the Irish people. At the last gen
eral election he was elected without Op
position to represent Limerick in par
lament and was imn ediately elected
sheriff by the Limerick aldermen. OF
course his election to Parliament was
declared void, as he could not serve, and
a warrant for another election was is
sued.
DR.. Thomas Gallagher and Albert
George Whitehead, who were set free at
the same time as Daily. are both Ameri-
can citizens. They were arrested in
London in company with two other al
legged dynamiters early in 1888. soon
after the dynamite explosions in the
Parliament buildings. They were speed
lily convicted of treason-felony and SEN
fenced to life imprisonment
There are still 10 political prisoners,
all Irishmen, accused of being impli-
Gated in dynamite plots, in British
prisons, and Mr.. Eagan expects that the
efforts of the Amnesty society Will soon
result in the release Of all of them.

AN ENGLISH CR1TrcrsnF.

At his recent appearance before the
American Bar association Lord Chief
Justice Russell of England took occas-
ion to call the attention of the gen
tlemen there assembled to what he
evidently regarded as avery lame place
in our system of government. It was
the fact that in the United States the
will of the people as expressed by their
representatives in congress can be
nullihed by the supreme court. The
supreme court of England has no such
power. There the people are the high
est authority.
Lord RusselPs view Of the situation
will appeal strongly to the minds and
judgment of a large number of Ameri-
can citizens It is a fact and the sit
uation is aggravated by the additional
fact that the court is partisan. 1t
seems impossible that it can ever be
otherwise. Vacancies are filed by the
president almost invariably from the
ranks of the political party in power
The appointments are made for life
and however the views Of the people
may change they are powerless to
change the complexion of the supreme
court. It stands forever a power above
the people above congress, above the
president.
1t became the last resort, but one.
Of the slave power. It may become the
last resort of the gold power. When
its mandates were ignored the slave
power took up arms. Tt is unlikely that
the history of the contest between free
dom and slavery will ever be repeated,
but the existence of a power greater
than the people is always fraught with
danger and is matter for alarm on the
part of patriotic citizens. When the
people want a thing very much they
are sometimes very determined about
it.
The gold standard papers are already
pointing out the way to the opposition
by which the court can be brought into
accord with the successful party if not
already so. The suggestion is that the
number of judges can be increased,
appointing the additional ones from the
party in power, until majority is OBJ
tanned for that party.
This would be an unfortunate and
bad precedent to establish since an
other party succeeding to control of
the nation might do the same thing un-
til the supreme court became a larger
body than the American congress Fur
Their than this it would be an offcial
recognition of the court as a. partisan
body It is well known to be a parti-
sand body now, but the fact IS not justi-
fed by the people nor is it desirable
that IT should be justified
It is probable that a majority Of the
members of congress are as capable OF
Interpreting the constitution correctly
as are the judges of the supreme court
and if constitutional questions must be
determined on basis of partisanship.
it might be better to allow congress to
do the determining as the English par
lament does. The people can always
be relied upon to settle public ques-
lions right.

THE THREE LINK men.
Sovereign Grand Lodge Soon to
Meet at Dallas.
The Biennial Election of officers an
Event of Interest.

Inc sovereign grand lodge of Odd
Fellows viii hold its annual meeting at
Dallas, Tex, on Sept IA. This will be
an especially important gathering be-
cause the biennial election of officers
will occur at this time. The sovereign
grand lodge is the supreme legislative
head Of an order which can boast Of
over s15, 900 members. It has elective
officers consisting Of grand sire, deputy
grand sire, grand secretary and grand
treasurer. A man who becomes a grand
sire must have been connected actively
with the order for many years and must
be possessed of qualities which would
naturally make him a leader among
men.
Representatives from grand lodges
and grand eneampments in every state
in the Union and from Canada, Ger
many and Australasia also make up the
membership of the sovereign grand
lodge. The body soon to convene con-
sists of about 200 members, but the oc-
casion is always taken advantage Of by
the Odd Fellows to collect by thousands
and have a general good time. They usu-
ally have a banquet, parade and an
excursion. Most of the Odd Fellows
bring along their wives and other mem
bers of their families, and their gather
ings are very enjoyable affairs.
The present officers of the sovereign
grand lodge are as follows: Grand sire,
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1896-08-25

John W. Stebbins; deputy grand sire,
Fred Carleton; grand secretary, T. a.
Ross; grand treasurer, T. R. Muckle.
The Office of grand sire. which is the
most exalted in the order, has been held
for the last two years by John W. Steb-
bins of Rochester. He is a lawyer by
profession and has been eminently sue
cessful. He is about 65 years old, tall
and rather spare of figure, but of COM
handing presence and intellectual ap-
pearance. He entered the order while a
young man and soon after became active
and prominent in the state Organiza-
ton. He was elected grand sire of the
New York state grand lodge in 1875,
and when his term of Office expired he
was chosen representative to the sover-
eign grand lodge, in which position he
served continuously until he was elected
deputy grand sire in 1899. He is an ac-
complished orator and possesses consid-
cradle literary ability.
Deputy Grand Sire Carleton, who,
according to long established custom
will succeed Mr.. Stebbins as grand sire,
is a resident of Austin, Tex. He entered
the order in 1871 and three years later
became a member of the grand lodge of
Texas. In 1880 he was elected as repre-
sentative to the sovereign grand lodge
and held the Office until he was chosen
deputy grand sire in 1892.
The Odd Fellows claim that their
organization is q modern one, although
some attempts have been made to show
that it hzd its origin among the Roman
soldiers in the middle ages. The first
account of an order by this name shows
that it appeared in England in 1745. Its
object then, as now. was high and pa
triotic, "being to uphold the dignity Of
the sovereign of the realm, to assist one
another in times of misfortune and to
amuse and instruct one another.
The order grew rapidly in England,
but the lodges were independent and did
not have one central authority to guide
and control its destinies Finally the
Manchester Unity was formed, which
now has a membership of 856, $50.
The Order of Odd Fellows was planted
in the United States at Baltimore by
Thomas Wildey. who organized the first
independent lodge at Baltimore in 1919.
The membership of this first lodge was
but five. Soon after this other lodges

OBJECT LESSONS

The city of Baltimore went into the
''object lesson business a few days
ago. Pay day for the fire department
had arrived and it VS. decided to give
the employees a lesson in finance which
they would probably dislike so greatly
that they would vote in November to
render a repetition of it unlikely.
The amount due the Baltimore fire
department in monthly salaries was
S1S, 500. The city treasury of course did
not possess the amount in silver dollars.
neither did any of the banks have so
much silver coin to spare. The Balti-
more officials were not to be foiled,
however, and sent to the United States
sub-treasury for the amount required
in silver dollars.
The account of the transaction as
published in the gold standard papers
gleefuny describes the appearance of
the fremen as they lugged away their
months salary.
They do not tell what was exchanged
by the city for the silver necessary to
administer this ''obect lesson" It is
fair to suppose that for the purpose Of
furthering so laudable a scheme, Sec
rotary Carlisle would be sufficiently ac-
commodating to accept any kind of
currency offered, even greenbacks and
sherman notes; that in fact he would
exercise that discretion which is given
him by the Sherman law to redeem the
notes issued under that law in either
gold OF silver.
1t will be remembered that in 1898
when some New York business men
went to the United States treasury and
wished to exchange greenbacks and
Sherman treasury notes for silver dol
lars they were refused. They were
forced to go out and exchange their
government notes for silver certificates
before they could get any silver dollars
out of the treasury. The silver certif-
Gates. Mr.. Carlisle could not refuse and
he reluctantly paid out the coin which
they called for on their face. He pub
nshed a card at the time. however, in
which he said in substance that he pre-
ferred to pay gold. He and Mr.. Cleve>
land and Wall street were engaged at
that time in giving the whole country
an object lesson.
While in the object lesson business
why not give the treasury raiders q
little illustration also. The next time
they come up to the treasury with
lot OF greenbacks or treasury notes let
Mr.. Carlisle redeem them in silver dol
lars. 1t is perfectly lawful. Both he
and the raiders say that one dollar un-
der our present system is as good as
any other dollar. There could be no
reasonable objection urged and it
would be so nice and instructive an OBJ
ject lesson in the evils Of free coinage
of silver.
He might even allow the treasury

I am afraid that if the election were

that Mckinley has triumphed.

it would be hard to get people who had
