CHECKER" HEARD FROM.

The "Kicker" scme time ago originated
several kicks against the condition of
some OF our streets and as consequence
thsy are fast being put in order. The
sidewalk, however, from Campbell avenue
20 the postof1ice is not there, and from
present indication is not likely to be in
place for some time to come. This is Il
badly needed repair and will necesstate
the expenditure of only small amount
of money.
The Kicker made several vigorous pro-
tests against a hole which found it's way
IN the pavement on Salem avenue Just
east of Henry street. In passing there
yesterday we noticed that the place had
been repaired. Thanks to the city en-
gineer.
The politicians seem to be doing a tall
lot OF kicking against recent Demo
cratic measure which is being dubbed as
the "iniquitous tax bill'' 1t is a wonder
that the courthouse crowd, who are reap
ing such harvest in the way of fees
will allow the law to be condemned One
CT the "big" officers of the city snys the
law is all right if it is Just that taxes
should be paid. The tax collector thinks
III is good thing. The law will. event
ually clean up the bad titles with which
hundreds of pieces of Roanoke property
is blessed THE KICKER !;

The camp was entertained with short

joyed the presence of DIR. Luck and Chas.
II. Anderson, old veterans but new visi-
tors to he camp.
1t is the ardent desire of the of GERS OF
the camp to have all the old soldiers to

away on account of arrearages of dues,
as the old accounts were dropped and n
new start taken last July, whereby the
payment of dues from The first of that

The Last Sad Rites.

Mrs. Julia A., wife Of David McFad-
den, who died of ood-poison at her
late home, 172S University avenue
northeast, on the last day of the year,
was buried on Saturday Of last week,
interment taking place in st. Anthony
Cemetery. Mrs. McFadden was born
AZ years ago in New Brunswick, and
YVES married in 1874. In 1879 she, with
her husband and children, settled at
Graceville, this state, where they con-
tinued to reside until 1898, when they
removed to this city. During her few
years of life in Minneapolis deceased
made a host of friends, large number
of whom followed all that was mortal
of the good wife, mother and friend to
her last resting place on the I'd inst.
Besides her husband, eleven children
the youngest an infant five weeks old
her mother, Mrs. r. O'Connor, five
brothers and one sister, are left to
mourn their loss. Requiem mass for
the repose of her soul was celebrated at
st. Anthony of Padua Church. Father
Barrett, in brief sermon, paid splen-
did tribute to the life and character Of
the deceased lady, impressing all pres
ent with the necessity of caring we'll
for their souls, as this good woman had
done during her short career.

None named her but to praise"

Famine again stares Ireland in the face.
Failure of all crops threatens once more
to bring about the horrors Of starva-
tion, and besides Ireland Is annually
bled Of millions of money by the Brit
.ish government. Though money Is
rather scarce at the present time In AM
erica, yet if the Irish Parliamentary
Party were united as they should be,
Ireland's kindred in America would al
ways come to their aid when money is
needed. In case an appeal is made to
aid the distressed people who are suf-
fering from want there will be no aid
coming from their kindred in this coun-
try. The people of Ireland have them
selves to blame for this. Let them
unite first, and show to the people OF
this country that they are united. Then
and only then will aid come to the dis
tressed by thousands of dollars.
There was very excited presidential
election here in this country during the
past two months relative to the question
Of sound money between silver and gold
standard. The Republican candidate
was elected president. What was the
result? The first telegram of congrat-
ulation which President Mckinley elect
received was from his competitor, the
Hon. William J. Bryan, which reads as
follows: Senator Jones has just in
formed me that the returns indicate
your election, and / hasten to extend
my congratulations. We have submit

This is the sacred doctrine of DEM
ocracy, of majority rnle, without which
no free country can rule itself consti-
tutionally. What lesson it conveys
to the divided Irish who will accept and
submit to 10 such law and are con-
seQuently showing themselves only
fitted to be slaves and the subjects of
tyrants.
Today, in the city of Nashville, among
it's people of all ranks and politics you
would imagine there never was an cleo
ton. On the Srd OF this month you
hear NO more about politics All are
satisfied to abide by the result Of the
national appeal as BELTS men. 1t is
the same way all over the country. The
people ct Ireland should take pattern
by the manly attitude of the respective
political parties in America and like
them lay aside their petty, personal dis
sensions and abide by the decisions that
may have been arrived at. By doing
so only Is there chance of their ever
again getting back their lost power and
prominence and being before the civil
lied world resolved, a respecting and
all united people. When they are SO,
and only when they are SO, will they
be regarded by their freedom-reared and
freedom-loving countrymen in America
as worthy Of their support and SYM
pathy. At present, the sundered Irish,
sauabbling over persons and unmindful
of principles, are subject of our pity
and of the scoffing strangers scorn.
