A,Necessary Reform.

At meeting of the United Irish
League at Claremorrs on Sunday, May
7, Michael Davitt said in part:
There is one other question upon
which 1 would wish to say few words
before making way for William O'Brien
cloud checrs). and that is the object OF
complete reform in the workhouse sys-
TEN of Ireland. feel very strongly up
on this question, and now that it is the
power Of the people themselves to carry
out some much needed changes in our
social life. I think no time should be-
lost in making an earnest attempt to
sweep away or to radically reform the
whole workhouse system. (Cfecrs.)
| need not dwell upon the character
OF the degrading institution We know
it only too we'll. 1t was thrust upon the
country by England, and like unto al
most all the laws that have come to us
from the same source it has helped to
serve the purpose which English rule
and legislation have systematically
sought to accomplish among us, name
ly, to weaken the moral standing Of our
people in order to render them more
feeble ii, their resistance to Dublin Cas-
tie rule and Irish landlordism. The
hated workhousc has only been too
faithful instrument in their hands Tor this
English purpose.
Mayo possibly more than any other
Irish county has suffered from this legal
pauperization OF its laboring classes,
though not, | am proud to say, to the
extent OF weakening its traditional Gel
tic spirit OF antagonsm to the laws and
authority Of the Clan Sassenach
(chcers). Still every Mayo man knows
only too we'll the great number OF hon
est industrious people who have been
doomed by the operations OF Infamous
land laws to social Imprisonment within
the walls OF the loathed "poorhouse,"
and how many thousands OF human
wretches have had to endure the humili-
alton OF this asylum, of hearts broken
by eviction and despair. loud cries OF
True and checrs). Can we rid the
gallant old country of this institution
for the disgrace OF labor? | feel con-
fident we can, and respectfully suggest
to our chairman OF the Mayo County
Council that such task will be we'll
worthy OF the sympathetic attention OF
himself and colleagues, while it will like
wise fall within the scope of the work
which the United Irish League has
taken in hand in its fight against every
phase OF fclonious landlordlsm.
(Cheers)
believe the Local Government Act
gives the new Councils power to ANAL
gamate poor law unions, and to acquire
useless workhouse buildings for more
necessary purposes. The existing
Unions i'll Mayo with their warehouses
ard costs OF administration were planned
and created when the population of the
country was close upon one hundred per
cent. greater than it is to-day. 1t fol-
lows, therefore, that we must have twice
the number of unions and of warehouses
that are required by the existing needs
OF the county. This being so, why
should not half OF them be abolished
and out OF the saving of county rates
thus effected carry out such reform
in the name OF character and purpose of

Eskridge bringing out his paper, the

standard, as the parent OF trusts, the
paralyzer OF industry, as commercial

as the headwind against transportation
lines, as the undermining rat OF Repub-
lican institutions. Governor Erskine's
revolt is the sensation OF the day. He
has been prominent in the Republican
party since Lincoln's time. And the
church, as well, is aroused. The synod
of the Reformed church in session in
Ohio denounced the gold standard and

AS fast as the truth is revealed by
publication of suppressed official reports
the underpinning is knocked out OF the
administration course toward the Fill
pinos. Dewey cabled Aguinaldo to
Come as soon as possible" and he
came and joined forces against the
Spanish. When Spain was crushed,
Aguinaldo formally requested the
United States forces to assume protec-
ton Of the Philippines for at least long
enough to enable the inhabitants estab-
lish government OF their own,' acqui-
escing in which. such remained the at
titude Of our forces, land and sea, until
Aguinaldo learned OF the purpose OF
Washington to seize the country bv
purchase, and govern it by arms.
When the situation. from the Just
suspicious OF the Fiipinos became
strained, Aguinaldo proposed the estab-
llshment OF neutral zone until the is
sues were settled, which was official
declined by Otis. The atter's official
report shows that Our men fired the first
shot, one OF MacArthur's outposts firing
on and killing Filipino.
This much creeping out from the press
censorships, probably when the whole
truth is known the whole Western
world will not afford the like OF the
outrages we as nation have commit
ted in the name OF ''liberty' What
da yof reckoning will that be when the
responsibility is fixed for what it has
cost of beloved dead, who have carried
out the orders of superiors without
questionings, and what it will cost in
blood and treasure before the wretched

CUT IN TWO.
Italian Employe of the Northern Pacific
Falls Under a Train at
Crystal Springs.

Spartaca Radsellia, an Italian in the
employ of the Northern Pacific at Crys-
tai Springs was cut in two by falling un-
der the wheels of a boarding car which
was being switched. Radscllia intended
to step from a fiat car on to the boarding
car which was on the same track. just
as he was about to step on the boarding
car the two cars separated and he fell
between them. He lived about thirty
minutes and was conscious during that
time. His body was taken to James
town.
AS he lay in agony he called for a re-
volvcr. The men who stood around him
thought that he called for water, but he
continued to call for the weapon. he
was asked what he wanted with a revol-
yer and he said he wanted to shoot Con-
ductor George Nelson, who he imagined
had something to do with his getting
hurt. The other Italians frowned darkly
and fingered around for their stilcttos.
Nelson thought that his time had come.
After the men had talked the matter
over they were more calm and realized
that the mans death was purely acct
dental.

What the Soldiers Will Get.

Secretary Alger has caused the quar-
tcrmastcr general to make a careful COM
p~ilation of the mileage the Philippine
volunteers from each state would be en-
titled to if mustered out at San Fran
cisco, and attached a statement of the
railroad fare the men would have to pay
from their own pockets. The amount
varies, of course, according to rank.
Among the noncommissioned officers and
privates in the North Dakota regiment
it runs from $50 to S136; South Dakota,
SS2 to S13O: Minnesota, $50 to s142. The
railroad fare from San Francisco to
Fargo, regular rates, is $40, to Sioux
Falls, S41; these figures not including
subsistence.
Secretary Alger asks to have the facts
submitted to the men and let them de-
termine whether they will be mustered
out at San Francisco and take travel pay
or in their own states, transported by
the government. n separate vote of each
regiment is asked.

BADLY CUT.
Jack Flynn in the Hospital Suffering
From a Serious Cut in the
Abdomen.

Jack Flynn, formerly of Winona, and
who has been out in Missoula for some
time, was brought in to the hospital Sat
urday night from the west suffering from
a serious knife wound in the abdomen.
The wound was received in a quarrel,
between a negro and a white man in
which Jack interfered, and received the
usual penalty that befalls the peace
maker. The negro slashed him with the
knife, inflicting a terrible cut in the flesh
Just over the intestines. Forty-seven
stitches were required to close the
wound. Jack is at present in the hospi.

From Mondays Daily.
Jack Trusty, tried for the murder of
Barrett lea Williston last winter, and
who was convicted of murder in the sec
ond degree and sentenced to ten years in
the penitentiary, was brought to the
city Sunday afternoon by Sheriff Follis
of Billings county and turned over to
the officers of the penitentiary to serve
out his term. Trusty's trial was COM
pleted Friday, and the jury on Saturday
brought in a verdict of murder in the
second degree. The defendant was de-
Tended by Attorney J. A. Largent Of
Great Falls, and States Attorney Allen
of this city assisted. His defense was
able, and Attorney Largent made a mas.

HABEAS CORPUS.
Attorneys for Jack T1usty Will Apply

Writ.

The attorneys for Jack Trusty, con-
victed at Medora for murder in the sec
ond degree will apply to the supreme
court for a writ of habeas corpus for his
release from the ~penitentiary, on the
ground that the district court for Bill
lings county did not have jurisdiction OF
the case, under the decision of the SUI
preme court declaring the boundary law
unconstitutional. This will be the quick,
est manner to test this point of law and
the application will probably be made to
the court in a few days. If the court de-
cides that the county did not have juris-
diction the case will have to be retired
in Stark county.

northwest trip. He strongly urged the
president to visit Duluth after a view of
the troops in the twin cities, and 60
thence across the state to Grand Forks
and Fargo. The president listened with
interest, but would not promise. He
said all he had decided was to visit the
twin cities. Everything else is uncer-
tain. Mr. Hansbrough, however, is quite
sure he will get Mckinley for n or
both of the Dakota towns.
Tomorrow morning Hansbrough and
wife leave for home for the summer.
They will visit a week in Minneapolis
and arrive at Devils Lake about June 10.

the supreme court upon the question OF
jurisdiction. When the crime was com
mitted, it occurred in the territory that
was added to Billings county by the law
of 1895 affecting county boundaries.
After the jury had been summoned for
the trial, and Trusty was held by the
Billings county authorities to answer for
the crime, the supreme court declared
this law unconstitutional, and the terri
tory reverted back to it's former status.
Under the law in effect before this law
was passed, the county in which the
murder was committed was attached to
Stark county for judicial purposes. This
point was raised at the trial, and will be
appealed to the supreme court for decls-
ion.

and the Grand Forks Plaindealer OBJ

of pleasure and qualification to the many

Capt. Berg may, before his retirement,
