HOW TO RESCUE IRELAND
SOLVE THE ECONOMIC PROBLEM IS
MR. PLUNKETTS PROBLEM.
That Being Out of the Way, the Political
Problem, lie Says, wiz Find
Quick and Easy solution.

New York, Jan. 2.-Rt Hon. Horace
Plunkett NJ. T., chairman of the Irish
Agricultural Organization society. who is
now visiting the United States. has con-
tributed to the January number Of the
North American Review, which will he
issued Jan. 3, an account of the efforts
which have been made since the death of
Mr.. Parnell to further the cause of Ire
land through the development of her
commercial and industrial resources. This
movement, Mr.. plunkett points out de-
Ponds for its success upon the co-opera-
ton of Irishmen who are politically OPP
posed 10 each other. and IL has been the
means of bringing together In a common
endeayor prominent men OF the most d.
verse political allegiance, unionists and
nationalist uniting. The conviction out
of which the new movemen mt arose was
that the Irish difficulty had long been
rather economic than political and that
II is more so than ever to-day.
Solve the economic problem" says
Mr.. PlunlIett and in the process the
Irish people will he so elevated and
strengthened that they will be able to
solve the political problem for themselves.
Being entirely practical in their aims and
processes the patriots who inaugurated
this movement sought suggestion and
inspiration in countries where similar Ell
forts had already been made. Commits
sioners were sent to France. Germany
ana other countries ON the continent to
observe the results of the movement ard
the work of the society was pun sued
along the line suggested by the reports
of the commissioners. The programme of
the reformers Is based ON the basis of
voluntary association for Industrial pur-
poses and the attempt is made to give
practical effect To this principle by the
establishment of societies of farmers for
common advantage. The success which
has attended this work has been most
encouraging.

Monopolies are not having an
easy time of it. Right on the heels
OF the decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States to the
effect that the Joint Traffic Associa.
ton was illegal comes the decision
of the Supreme Court of Illinois
that the charter of the Pullman
company was forfeited because
that company was and had been
tor years exceeding the powers
granted by the instrument by virtue
OF which it existed as a corporate
body. The court said that a com-
pany chartered to build, sell and
lease cars, could not own a town,
could not manipulate the market
for stocks and bonds, could not
erect an electric light plant, in fact
could not do anything except those
things which were plainly and
specifically set forth in the charter.
This will be hard blow upon the
Pullman company. 1t will place
the managers in a very peculiar
position. But for their comfort we
will state that if they loose their
charter, they can get one in West
Virginia that will permit them to
own and operate the whole earth,
and no questions will ever be asked.
For blanket charters and for snaps
for corporations, this State leads
the universe.
