The Lion and the Shamrock.
While the British Lion roaTs exultant

grief drops from its emerald leaves
Everything British reioices, but nothing

OF royal and Imperial glory have been sixty
years Of poverty ana sorrow for Ireland.
As Thomas Power O'Connor truly says,
"A re we to rejoice because Treland's pop
ulation las decreased IL per cent, while
England's has increased 20 per cent? Is
it because ireland, with her diminished
population, is so paUpeTized that two
thirds OF her people are dependent on the
potato crop. the failure of which i'm
mediately produces famine, while the
standard Of general comfort in England
is higher than in any other country?
Truly there seems good reason why Irish
men, whether they be OF the Parliament
ct among the struggling remnant OF a
once happy people, or OF the exi'e1 millions
IL foreign lands, should refrain from ala

Washington Fever.

A gentleman in Chicago has beer writing
EbCut Washington He has been here, but
not 10 stay very long. and he notes the
fact that people who have lived in Wash
ington, like the prehistoric cat. always
come back. He suggests that this is be-
cause they cannot earn a living else
where; but if this Chicago gentleman had
ever been an officeseeker he would gnier-
stand that It is gust as hard to get Job
In Washington as it is anywhere else
The real reason is a subtle fascina ton
which the Washington atmosphere has for
anyone who fas once become stepped m
#. other places have this attraction,
but usually only for their native bonn cit
liens. Washington throws a glamour over
the guest of a few years, SO that he wants
to stay forever. tt does not take very
hong to catch this fever; some office
seekers get it within three hours after
they strike the town, and the germs, once
planted, never let go of the system
This t. esl eciany marked in the case Of
the Senator or Congressman. When he has
lived IN Washington long enough To lose
his grip on his constituents, and some other
fellow watches his chance and gets the
seat in Congress out from under the old
Representative, that Representative set
ties down in Washington to practice law.
No matter whether he practices OF not, he
is more c0ntented here than he would be
81 home. and here he stays.
