ST. PATRICK'S BIRTHPLACE.

St. Patrick, like many another
good man, has been claimed by
various people as of their race.
Aside from his fervent disciples,
who ignore all authorities and in
sist, sure, St. Patrick was an Irish
man, it has been claimed by differ
ent authorities that he was a native
of France, Scotland, England
Wales, and now we have a claim
from Spain.
The pastor of Limavady, the
Very Rev. Edward O'Brien, bring
ing his classical learning to bear
upon the documents in which St.
Patrick tells his own story, starts a
new theory in The Irish Ecclesi-
astical Record. He contends that
the claim as to Scotland is based
upon the misrepresentation, and
even the manglings, of the scholi-
asts, and that the natural reading
of the documents points to Spain as
the place where the saint first saw
the light. St. Patrick was born in
Emporia, he maintains, or at least
was dwelling there when he was
made captive. Emporia is on the
Clyde (the Clodeanus), and on the
Gulf of Rosas { Rhoda), gulf OF
the Thyrenne (Torrean) Sea, the
Mare Inferum of the Romans, as
opposed to the Adriatic, the Mare
Superum. His grandfather was a
Presbyter; that is, member of the
supreme council; his father was a
decurio. The city of which he was
decurio was Vicus, an episcopal see.
1t was on the river Bann (Alba)
Aven (Fluvia), in the territory of
Tiburne, formerly Indigites.

WELL, WELL!
Found Necessary to Secure
an American to Sail
the Shamrock.

A dispatch from London says that az
the Emperor Williams yacht, Meteor
has finished her racing season. Capt
ben" Parker, the skipper of the craft
and eleven members of her crew have re
ceived permission from His Majesty to
start for the United States Immediately
in order to help sail the Shamrock in the
races for Americas cup.
Major John Eustice Jameson, National
list member of Parliament for the west
division of Claire, who had recently been
in the United States attending to the in
terests of Sir Thomas Upton, the owner
of the cup challenger Shamrock, has
been badly hurt in carriage accident
near Dublin. Mr.. Jameson. however,
hopes to recover in time to accompany
Sir Thomas Upton to America to witness
the races for the Americas cup.

There is little concerning the
strike on the New York Sun, which
augurs we'll for its success. There
has been no disorder, except that
three men, induced to- accept EN-
ployment under false representa-
tons, were assaulted by the "spe-
cial police" when they left work
after learning the true state of af-
fairs. The printers seem to have
things we'll in hand, being backed
by all organized labor and the pub
lie. The New York Union has a
reserve fund of $4,000 and the
funds of the International at its
disposal. The New York Central
Union backed up its indorsment
with $25, 700 and promise of more,
but the typos have not asked for

The six political parties have
now all announced their nominees
for State officers in the coming cleo
ton. Never before were Ken
lucky politics in so chaotic state,
and at the present time it would
take prophet to forecast the re-
suit. While we are in no sense
partisan, the outlook at the present
time seems to favor the Republicans.

financial aid. The Sun issues a
small paper daily, but as it is only
an excuse for a newspaper and be-
cause of sympathy for the strikers,
it is ignored by carriers, newsboys,
newsdealers and the public, and
other papers are reaping the
harvest.

of his rural and partisan colleagues
have placed it. But such explana-
tons are not likely to earn him the
title of LID, or the reputation
for fair dealing so essential in pub
lie servants.
This condition of affairs is only
one of the many complications and
linjustices to the taxpayers resulting
from the blind fanaticism, insane
prejudice and crank legislation of
the Legislature, which followed
theories instead of facts, tried to
reduce taxes of the poor farmers by
unjustly heaping them upon the
rich (?) cities, and had for its slo-
gan On Louisville; she ought
to be made to pay all the taxes.
The result is the withdrawal of cap
ital from business and the tax list,
its investment i'll other States, con-
fusion, loss and litigation, empty
county treasury, and finally in
creased taxes on the poor farmer who
can not get away or evade taxes.
And Judge Gregory, like many of
our politicians, seems to have lined
up with farmers, with the inevita-
BILE result.
But to the II cents tax. 1t will
not be paid without long and costly
litigation, if Their; though upon a
technical construction the tax levy
may be upheld. In that case the
city must refund the county tax al
ready levied and collected, and GER
tain city officials will be guilty of
that for which they should be i'm
peached. If the tax levy is not
sustained by the courts the County
Fiscal Court will have to refund
any taxes paid, make an additional
levy to supply the deficiency, and
be liable to impeachment for unlaw-
fully levying and collecting taxes.
In either event the tax lists will be
muddled and become the basis for
litigation for years to come.
The best way is to avoid litiga-
ton. Louisville taxpayers are al
ready assessed and charged by the
city, and most of them have paid
to the city the county taxes for
1899. The County Fiscal Court
should accept from the city this
tax for 1899, and cancel the II
cents. levy against all city taxpayers;
or the city should cancel the county
tax for 1899 from its tax list and
refund the money to those who
have paid it.. There is no other
just solution, Judge Gregory's ex-
PLANTATION to the contrary notwith-
standing.
1t is now up to the city officials
and Council, since the Fiscal Court
seems to stand pat and the Sheriff
has charged up and is notifying
Louisville taxpayers to call and pay
State and county taxes for $780,"
including this II cents on the 500,
for which they hold the city's re-
ceipt, and which Judge Gregory
says is for 1900. We don't advise
any one to refuse to pay this double
tax, but suggest that they be in no
hurry about it. In the meantime
the blunderers may come together
and straighten out their tangle in
some way not so costly to the tax
payer.
There is little concerning the
