MAURICE HEALY.
A Funny Incident In Which He Figured
In an Irish Court.

Tim Healy, the Irish NJ p, has a
brother who is very clever barrister.
He has written book on the revision
Of the voting lists which is the standard
authority with English jurists. In con-
nection with that book funny Incl
dent transpired in one of the courts at
Belfast.
The home rulers of that city had
wired to the London headquarters for
an able lawyer to fight their battle, as
they considered the local talent rather
light for such heavy legal contest.
They received reply granting their re-
quest.
The court opened, and the barrister
for the Unionist party, a clever lawyer
named Young, began an able and ex-
haustive argument why the names Of
certain individuals should not be re-
tanned on the list The home rulersw
wringing their hands in despair, for the
man from London had not appeared-at
least no one had seen him.
AS Young continued, rendering quo
tation after quotation in support Of his
assertions, the poor Nationalist became
frantic. Suddenly there was lull in
the proceedings. A modest looking
young man had arisen to his feet to ask
a question. Nobody knew him.
''My lord, th-th--a-I would like
th-th"-
A roar Of laughter resounded through
the courtroom, and even the Judge
smiled. The crier shouted for silence,
bet the suffering of the young man
was SO fanny that it was some time ere
it could be secured. Once more the slut
terer tried.
MY lord, just one question. From
what b-b-book does the l-l-learned gen.
tleman quote?''
Mr.. Young at once replied, "Healy s
book on revision.
'I'm Healy," said the gentleman
with the defect in speech.
The judge saluted him courteously,
the opposing lawyer shook hands with
him, and the Nationalist policy, which
had been outlined as defensive, became
aggressive i'll the hands of Maurice
Healy, whose suffering had caused such
merriment, with the result that the
only home ruler who ever sat for the
city of Belfast, or probably ever will,
was returned at the following election

A SIGNIFICANT EXAMPLE.
No Honest Man Can Understand the Cues
ton and Remain Half Way Bimetallist,

No Honest Man Can Understand the Oues-
ton and Remain n Half Way Bimotallist.
Mr.. Wharton Barker of Philadelphia
went into the silver question at first In
somewhat academic way. He wrote es-
says upon the evils Of bimetallism. AS
he advanced into the subject he saw the
necessity for action and propounded q
plan for silver coinage in which the
seigniorage on foreign silver presented
for coinage would go to tho United
States government so long as there was
a difference between the market price
and the coinage value. But, like all 9th
ers who have studied the question of BIZ
metallism, Mr.. Barker soon was forced
to the conclusion that no half way meas
ure was adequate or could touch the root
from which thousand harmful shoots
have sprung. He realized that in free
and unlimited coinage ut the old ratio,
without waiting for any other nation,
rested the salvation of this nation. His
paper, the Philadelphia American, has
been valiantly fighting for free coinage
with the support of many of the largest
manufacturers of that city, who under
stand that the gold standard is for the
benefit of those who own and lend mon
ey and not for the benefit Of those who
put their means into active enterprises
Mr.. Barker and his friends, with few if
any exceptions, have been members of
the Republican party. The conference
which they had with some silver sena-
tors and which raised such hubbub
among the goldbugs, was practically q
last effort to proceed as earnest silver
men within the party ranks. They hoped
that something could be done by which
the national Republican party could be
forced to silver through the pressure of
Asiatic competition upon manufactur-
ers
The action Of the Philadelphia Manu-
) facturers' club few days ago is suf-
ficiently familiar. An important result
of it appears in the message from Mr..
Barker to The News. He recognizes that
there is no use Of bimetallists hoping
for anything if they stay supinely with
in old party lines and announces that he
is ready to step out Of the Republican
ranks. Coming from a man who has
certainly been one of the foremost Re-
publican advocates of bimetallism in the
east and who has preached early and
late the doctrine Of protection and BIZ
metallism," this message is most sig
nifcant. 1t means that neither 'party
principles" nor protection nor anything
else is so important as to be allowed to
interfere with the fight for free coinage
Ifeastern silver men are brave enough,
manly enough and determined enough
to break away from the fetch of party,
shall any western man be less brave,
less manly or less observation-disclosures

Here's a Bit of Pleasant Reading

The SO called expulsion" of Lord
Dunraven from the New York Yacht
club reflects very little credit upon the
members of that impotent and unsports-
manlike body. 1t is difficult to speak
calmly Of the puerile spite shown by
these 80 Yankee yachtsmen in going
through the farce of "expelling'' a
member who had already signified his
intention of severing his connection with
the club, and who, heaven knows, had
little enough reason for wishing to re-
main in it. By their shameless eager
ness to put an insult upon an honorable
if mistaken English gentleman, the
members of the New York Yacht club
have forfeited even such modified re-.
spect as we in this country have hither-
to had for them. They have made it ut
terly impossible for any self respecting
Englishman ever again to challenge for
the Americas cup. can hardly sup
pose, however, that that fact will cause
them any regret, for they have all along
displayed q determination to retain tho
trophy by hook or by croolr-AsAsassDf

HE DRCSPEO.
A Bad Tempered Young Man Gets a Les
In Politeness.

A young fellow with bullying eyes,
bloodshot and heavy from loss of sleep,
swung on to the rear end of south
bound Clark street cable car. 1t was
early and the car was filled with young
women going to their work The young
fellow held between his thick, feverish
lips long, dark brown cigarette, and
he sucked at it nervously.
The conductor, a little pink checked
Irishman, reminded his passenger that
smoking was not allowed on the rear
platform.
ooh, that's all right, " said the young
man and continued to smoke.
mo, it's not all right, replied the
conductor, land you will have to go
forward, stop smoking here or get off. "
The young man looked down at the
little conductor a moment, shrugged his
shoulders and started forward. AS he
passed through the car he pulled away
at his cigarette, and by the time he
reached the front door the car was full
of smoke and many of the young women
were coughing. Disregarding their in
dignant looks, he turned as he reached
the door, blew q mouthful of smoke in.
to the car, and, with contemptuous
sneer went outside.
The little IRISH conductor had been
watching him. He followed, and going
close to him said:
eff you ever do such thing in my
car again, I'll punch your head off,
Although the young man was almost
twice as big as the conductor, he made
no reply, but tossed his cigarette away,
and his big red ears began to grow
white.
The conductor left him, but just Their
young man who had been watching
the proceedings with animated Interest
came out and tapping the smoker OF
the shoulder said:
II think you had better drop off here ;

over his parched lips, gave startled
glance into the car and dropped Chi

are picking up" But what things?
The workingman if you call him a
thing and that is about your classifi-
eaton of him is picking up'' his tools
and seeking employment. The once
happy and contented workingman is
picking up;' what ever kindly dispos-
ed person sees fit to toss HIM IA he
rlods wearily on his way in a fruitless
search for employment.
The farmer is ''picklng up'' his
wheat and corn which he has been
holding in the hope of getting cost of
production and hauling it to market to
receive reduced price.
The merchant is despondently
picking up" and dusting goods on
his shelves that should have been
sold year ago.
And finally the gold gamblers and
usurers are picking up all the surplus
wealth of the country.
Yes things are picking up but the
wrong things. What we want is to
''pick up' a few dollars with our lab
or. A little home with our industry
and frugality, and a prospect for some
pleasure in life.
