CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
MIR. BALFoUR,s IRISH BILL.

Exactly what Mr.. Balfour's Local
Government bill for Ireland will con-
tain is not yet known, and will not be
known until Parliament meets in the
Autumn. Mr.. Balfour, however, has
put enough detail into his sketch to
enable all persons interested to know
beforehand whether they will like the
finished picture. Apparently they all Ike
It, though the Irish members of Parlia-
ment are by no means enthusiastic. OF
course il is said that the Unionists have
changed front, and that the Local Gov
ernment bill is merely a Home Rule
bill in disguise. This description, how
ever, is inaccurate. If Mr.. Morley or
any other English Liberal had proposed
at any time since Mr.. Gladstone de-
clared himself for home rule, such a
bill as Mr.. BalfOur now proposes, he
would have discovered that his Irish
critics thought his bill far short of a
fulfillment of Mr.. Gladstene's promise.
The contention of the Home Rulers
both in England and Ireland has been
that Ireland ought to have a Parlia-
ment of her own, capable of dealing
with all questions except questions of
imperial policy. Mr.. Balfour's bill gives
nothing like this. 1t merely gives to
Ireland the same local elective system
which is now established in England
and Scotland. Unless II be
true that England and Scotland,
with their county councils and
district councils and parish
councils, now have home rule, then il
cannot truly be said that Mr.. Balfour
proposes to bestow home rule upon Ire
land 1t is true, however, that the bill
which Mr.. Balfour has outlined is a
step away from what has been the
Unionist policy and in the direction OF
home rule.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

RUSSIA HAS NO LOVE FOR GREECE

RUSSIA HAS NO LOVE FOR GREECE
Despite all her apparent advances of
friendship, Russia was ever and Is yet
looked upon with suspicion and antip-
athy in Greece. There is too great
difference Between the rude and des-
potic character of the Muscovites and
the refined and liberal nature of the
Hellenese. Moreover, the latter are
still caressing their ideas of Pan-Hel-
lenism and their dream of again po-
sessing Constantinople, which is COW
eted by Russia, herself. The Musco-
vites know that Greece will be ever a
stubborn obstacle to their projects, a
barrier to their invading propensities,
and they conclude that the fewer
Greeks there are the more powerful
will be the Russian Empire. The ira
ditional policy of the czar has aimed
at preventing a too intimate alliance
Of Greece with any of the four neigh
boring countries, Roumania, Bulgaria,
Montenegro and Servia, which are
more or less, attracted toward her by
the prestige of the superior Hellenic
civilization, and by the dread of the
Russian bear. This is once more dem
Onstrated in a recent despatch from
st. Petersburg stating that It was
"semi-officiaHy pointed out" that the
formation of an alliance between Bull.
garia, Servia and Montenegro was moi
only for their protection, but against
Pan-Hellene aspirations in the Balkan
Peninsula. The despatch might as
we'll have added that such an alliance
is not yet formed, inasmuch as Russi;
is opposed to il, though she poses as th'
protector and friend OF the Slav orthO

WORDS FROM A BANKER.

Shortly before 8 o'clock this morning,
an official in one of the principal bank.
ing institutions of this city called up
the Evening Journal and said that he
desired to thank it for its efforts to
breaking up loafng and MASKING on
Market street by certain fashionably-
dressed, but ill-mannered, young men
who congregate at certain points, par
ticularly in front of cigar stores, and
make any woman, no matter how re-
spectacle or how old, the subject of
their stares and remarks, and often
going so far as to include indecent jest
or insinuation.
THE matter is becoming worse and
worse all the time" he said. 1T has
only been a few days since a relative
of mine went down Market street, and
she was so annoyed by the attentions
of these loafers that she went to her
home, on the West Side by another
street, although il Inconvenience her
to do so. OF course women could make
complaint to the chief of police, but
they are sensitive and dread publicity,
especially of the police court kind. 1t
is a wonder to me that Chief of Police
Dolan, who has always shown a desire
to make our streets safe and pleasant
for women, has not detailed officers in
civilian dress to patrol Market street
and arrest a few of these mashers and
make examples of them. They ought
not to be permitted to ply their inde-
cent vocation anywhere, and particu-
larly not within sight of the City Hall.

The great ladies i'll Paris who set the

seemingly escaping all confines, are &C

A pretty fashion that is gaining favor
in this country is the finishing Puritan

air of primness and dignity to the entire
