Why have Irishmen grown content
to remain in their native land? Why
has their demand for separation from
Great Britain weakened? Why has
the record of political and agrarian
crime fallen below that of England it.
self? Chiefly because parliament has
made timely or belated concessions to
Justice. Recent legislation has made
it possible for the peasant to acquire
q title to the land he c%ultivates, and
has given him a voice in the local gov
eminent. The hard technical claim of
the landlords vested rights has been
qualified in the interests Of reason and
humanity. The methods of peaceful
agitation, although sullied by hysteri-
cal passion, have won more than q CEN
tury's outbreaks Of violence.

Sixty-seven hundredths of the earth's
population live in Asia, Africa and the
outlying islands. Rather more than
thirty-hundredths live in Europe and
the United States. The LONDON Spec

sovereignty over the whole globe is to

N. P.'S NEW SERVICE.
Trains Are Doing Well on the Dou-
BILE Daily Run.

Trains Are Doing well on the DOu-
BILE Daily Run.
The Northern Pacific Is doing well with
it's new double daily service. Up to the
present time twelve trains have arrived
at Portland, Or, nine of which have been
time and only one seriously delayed.
During the same period twelve trains
have arrived in st. Paul, Of which nine
have been on time and only three behind
time, the greatest delay being one hour.
Considering the fast schedule and the
time of the year when 1t was 1nau-
gurated, this performance is compn-
mentary to that road.
Some idea of what the Northern Pa
cific is doing can be gained by comparing
the time of the limited trains between
st. Paul and Chicago and the trains of
the Northern Pacific between Spokane
and Tacoma. The latter two points were
selected because the mileage is practi-
cally the same as the shortest route be-
tween Chicago and st. Paul. From St.
Paul to Chicago is 402 miles, from Ia
coma to Spokane 401 miles. Time con-
sumed between ST. Paul and Chicago is
13 hours 40 minutes, an average Of 30 Lilo
miles an hour. Between Spokane and
Tacoma the time Is IL hours 40 minutes,
an average of 81 5-10 miles an hour. In
computing the average rate of speed per
mile no account is taken of stops The
actual speed Of the train while running
is close to 40 miles an hour.
When it Is remembered that trains be-
tween st. Paul and Chicago contain about
six cars, while those of the Northern Pa
cific Overland contain from eight to ten
cars, and that no serious Typographical
difficulties are found east of st. Paul,
while on the Western run the Cascade
mountains must be crossed, the perform
ance of the Northern Pacific is unequaled
in the Northwest.

reached the burning house the father wa q
the only member of the family of seven

when the firemen entered the house
aIter having partly quenched the flames.
they found the five children lying side hv

not oadly burned. The skull of each child
was deeply 1ndented, and from the dents
long fractures extended. All but one of
the children had been stabbed in the
neck The throat of the little three-year
Old, "a boy. had been slashed SO deeply
that the spinal column had been severed
Upon these facts and the strange be-
havior of the father the authorities base
their charge of murder
When Moore was called before the cor

neve that an exploding lamp had caused

death in the flames. He testified that he
was awakened from deep sleep by the

wife was away from home, attending a

jury returned the verdict charging him
with murder.
