Here is an unpleasant illustration of
that tendency. This very morning the
London Daily Mail, discussing a report
that we were making preparations for

selves with writing warlike articles and

but the masses of the American people
have brought that upon them by allowing
themselves TO be buncoed, bribed and
bullied into voting for monopoly, corrup-
ton and oppression in 1896. Asa natural
result everything American, everything
in behalf OF patriotism or humanity, has

Reports from Ireland, with the eNcep
tion Of those eiaauating from government
sources, clearly Indicate the iinminence of
an awful famine. Up TO the first OF Au.
gust the agricultural outlook was bright,
but the month was marked by constant
succession of cold rains and sleet, and oats,
harley, hay and potatoes shared a common
fate In most parts Of the country crops
were short Hast year. Speaking of the
situation in Connaocht, Mr. William o 'Brien,
NJ. p, wrhec' n. is impossible TO ex-
aggcrate the danger OF absolute famine
IN districts like this, already scourged by
last years potato failure and sunk tc the

This time nothing can save the
people brit a universal uprising against
rackrents and immediate measures for

for ireland and her people that just at this
tlrae America an flour should have doubled
On price, and even American corn meal
advanced 81 per cent The people at the
vicereeal Lodge in Dublin rather pooh
poob the famine talk OF the papers as an
exaggera,ion; but the various bishops and
other persons OF prominence throughout the
island who are in close touch with the peo-
pie declare that the conditions and pros

mystery which for some months past

bell.ringer of st. Pauls church, named

named Derollus and his wife, for some
supposed injury, and few months ago
stole their 4.year-old child, after which
he wrote its parents, saying that they
would never see The child alive ngalu.
All efforts to trace the bell-ringer and
the child failed. A fortnight ago the
finding of the body Of the bell ringer
in the Brussels canal revived interest
in the mystery. Friday evening the
body Of toe child was found hanging
in the vaults of ST. Pauls church.
