one of them that has not each week live

lishment of new business and building
of homes or business blocks. Nearly al

and none are feeling poor enough tc

ireland at Peace.

Ireland seems now to be a quiet con-
tented land. No more outrages by the
%peasantry are reported, and the fierce de-
bates in parliament are of the past only.
For ages the, people of Ireland were de-
MED the rights of voting under the same
conditio rs as those in other parts of the
kingdom. They were ruled with a rod
of iron, welded in the interest of land
lords, but the spirit of Irish leaders was
never broken. The stubborn English
man, though ever in the wrong, would
| yield nothing in parliament when Il con-
test was at it's height. But at last the
public conscience was aroused, a sense
of justice prevailed and at an unlocked
for moment the English members, of
their own v~olition passed several meas
nres giving the Irish people the rights
of other subjects as to voting for mem
bers of parliament. This was but four
years ago. Another enactment gave
the peasants an undeniable right to
purchase land under fair conditions
from landlords, who had long denied
them the privilege. The people of Ire
land are becoming land-holders, owners
of homes, instead of slaves to absent
landlords and are also enjoying political
rights heretofore withheld. What
seemed like a conflict never to be ended
is over. The Irish peasantry, some
times cruel and savage, as an oppressed
people ever become, were never dull.
They furnished many Of the brightest
men of the United Kingdom and from
the cabins of Ireland have descended
many men distinguished in the United
States as governors, members of con-
gress and gallant soldiers of the re-
public. Under the liberality at last
allowed by England the citizens of Ire
land will advance until they are the
equals of their brethren in all other
lands. Irish patriots have long fought
for home rule and now it has virtually
been accomplished, yet zone of the evils
that landlords prophesied have come to

President Diaz has seen his country
grow in wealth so III the last few years
as a result of American enterprises in
augurated there, that he has decided tt
no longer wait for investors to seek Ell
enlargement before extending specia'
privileges to them, and has issued a de.
cree e%xnmpting all manufacturing enter.
prises from taxation for five years. As
whatever the president says goes in
Mexico. congress has ratified the decree.
Many lines of industry are open to
investors, and there have been few If
any failures in industrial undertakings.
The Mexican people are enjoying greater
prosperity than they eve before ex-
perienced and are becoming greater con-
sumers of manufactured products.
Therefore a better home market is grow
ing up. One potent cause of this is that
their silver money is worth only about
half of It's face value when sent out for
imports, therefore 1t is kept at home and
expended for articles man lfactured
within the republic.

A lesson should be administered to the
interchangeable of Central Amer

trouble with them ever since the Central
Americans set up little establishments
of their own. Life and property in
Central America are even less secure
than they were in Cuba under Spanish
rule and a revolution occurs almost
every other day. Warships should ride
constantly in Central American har.

continent should unite to preserve order

The steamer offices in New York re-
port that they are booking the usual
number of first and second class passen-
gers for trips to Europe. but there is a
falling off in the number of steerage
passengers. The companies account for
this by stating that working men and
mechanics are too busy at high wages to
travel; that it is when work is slack that
European w%orkingmen in this country
go across the water to live with their
friends until a busy season comes.
