THE ULSTER REBELLION.
An Uprising that Led to the Slaughter
of Half q Million Irish.

In his study of Oliver Cromwell, John
Morley, writing in the December Century,
characterizes the Ulster Rebellion as "the
most barbarous and inhuman chapter that
stains the domestic history of the kingdom"
After many weeks of strange stiffness, in
an instant the storm burst. The Irish in
Ulster suddenly October %, 164D fell upon
the English colonists, the invaders of their
lands The fury soon spread and the
country was enveloped in the flames of a
confagraton fed by concentrated sense or
ancient wrong and all the savage passions of
an oppressed people suddenly broken loose
upon its oppressors. Agrarian wrong, re-
ligious wrong, insolence of race, now
brought forth their poisonous fruit "A
thousand murderous atrocities were perpe
trated one side, and they were avenged
by atrocities as hideous on the other. Every
tale of horror in the insurgents can be
matched by horror as dabolical in the
soldiery. What happened in 1911 was in gen.
eral features very like what happened in
1885, for the same things come to pass in
every conflict where ferocious hatred in
prosecuted caste meets the ferocious pride
and contempt of its prosecutors. The main
points are reasonably plain. There is no
question by whom the sanguinary work was
was not part of a premeditated and organ
lied design of indiscriminate massacre. but
was inevitably attendant upon violent ris
ing against foreign despoilers. There is no
question that though in the beginning agra
rian or territorial, the rising soon drew
after it a fierce struggle between the two
rival Christian factions. There is little
question that, after the first shock, Parsons
and his allies in authority acted on the Gym
ical anticipation that the worse the rebel
lion. the richer would be the forfeitures.
There is no question that the enormity OF
crime was the subject of eXaggeration,
partly natural and inevitable, partly in
cendiary and deliberate. Nor is there any
question that, even without exaggeration, it
is the most barbarous and inhuman chapter
that stains the domestic history of the
kingdom The total number of Protestants
slain in cold blood at the outbreak of the
rebellion has been fixed at various figures
from 1000 to 10000, and the latest serious
Omaha daily bee., 1899-12-11

estimate puts ID at q. 600 during the first
three or four years The victims OF the re-
taliatory slaughter by Protestants upon
Catholics were countless. but Sir William
Petty thinks that more than 100000 perished
between 1871 and 1852.
The fated international antipathy between
English and Irish, that like volcano is
sometimes active. sometimes smolderinG and
sullen, now burst forth In liquid fire. The
news threw England into frenzy. II has
been compared to the fury with which the
American colonists regarded the use Of Red
Indians by the government of King George
1t was like the rage and horror hat swert
over the country in q moment when the
tidngs of Cawupore arrived, and | need not
describe it, The air was thick, as is the
way in revolutions, with frantic and ira
tional suspicion. The catastrophe in Ire
land fitted in with the governing moods of
the hour, and we know only too well how
simple and summary are the syllogisms OF
a rco;cd dstrust. ireland was papist and
this was a papist rising. The queen was a
papist, surrounded at Somerset House by
the same black brood as those priests OF
Baal who on the other side OF St George
channel were described as standing by Whllo
their barbarous flock slew old men and
women wholesale and in cold blood, dashvd
out the brains of infants against the walls
in sight of their wretched parents. ran their
skeans like Red Indians into the flesh of
little children and flung helpless Protes-
tants by scores at time over the bridge at
Portadown Such was the reasoning and
the damning conclusion was clear. This
was the queens rebellion and the king
must be her accomplice. Sir Phelim O'Neil,
the first leader of the Ulster rebellion, de-
clared that he held a commission from the
king himself and the story took quick root.
1t is now manifest that Charles was at least
as much dismayed as amy of his subjects;
yet for the rest of his life he could not wipe
out that fatal theory of his guilt

DIES MONIES, Dec. Spccial)--An i'm
portant move was made in the United states
senatorial campaign in this state today in
the issuing OF the following letter by Hon.
NJ L. Temple of Clarke county, withdrawing
from the speakership contest and asking his
friends to support Hon. d. II. Bowen of AL
lamakee county for the position. Up to this
time the Gear forces, who it is understood
have ffty-fou out of the eighty-one votes
in the house. have been divided on the speak

great interest to both of us at the present
juncture. | realize that the subject of
paramount Importance at the beginning
of the session of the general assembly is
the reelection of Senator Gear to the
United States senate thereby retaining to
the state and nation his valuable services
and ripe experience. This outcome l deem
assured in any, event, In view of the pro-
nounced majority for him in the senate;
yet it has been apparent for some weeks
that the friends of Senator Gears esteemed
competitor have concentrated their forces
upon the matter of the organization of the
house, upon your friend and neighbor, Mr..
Eaton of Mitchell We cannot overesti-
mate the Importance of such organization
under existing circumstances. 1t has
seemed to me that these conditions make
1t absolutely imperative that the friends
of Senator Gear should likewise be per-
mitted to concentrate their efforts and
energy in the same direction, as it is APP
parent the organization must be made upon
senatorial lines.
have had but little leisure and oppor-
tunty to canvass the conditions existing
among our friends and am not able at
the present time to say what our relative
strength may be, but I feel that the time
for action has come, and beg your par
don for taking the initiative. From the
little information that l have been able

didacy is, in a broad sense, a safe and
desirable one. /, therefore, Deg to inform
you that l, in order to bring about the end

wherever they may be found to give their
hearty and earnest support to yourself

ROAD IS READY TO OPERATE
Practical Completion of the Fort Dodge &
Omaha Line.
OPERATING DEPARTMENT IS IN CHARGE
Regular Local Service is. to he Put on

OPERATING DEPARTMENT IS IN CHARGE

The practical completion of the Fort
Dodge & Omaha railroad has been accom-
plished and yesterday G.. T.. Grafton, en-
gineer in charge Of construction, notified C.
X. Dixon, superintendent of the Cherokee
division, that the road was now at his dis
posal. In this way the new road was turned
over yesterday from the engineering to the
operating department and it is expected that
Superintendent Dixon will commence the
running Of a local service between here and
Fort Dodge almost Immediately, probably
not later than next Friday.
Engineer Grafton, whose energy resulted
in the new line being built in less than nine
months, will continue for some time yet
to have charge Of the engineering work on
the road.
The new line consists OF 131 miles of as
good track as has ever been laid in Iowa
The rails are S5-pound steel throughout laid
on oak ties. In addition TO the main line
sidetracks aggregating thirty-siX miles have
been laid.
In talking of the completion of the road
yesterday Mr.. Grafton paid high tribute to
the force of men who have worked under
him and the fact that the line had been
completed in the time that it has been he
said was due to their energy and faithful
attention to work. In addition to about sew
enty engineers and inspectors Mr.. Grafton
has been assisted by four division engineers.
They are e. K. Blanchard, in charge Of
first division; William Mccoy in charge OF
second division; A. E. Harvey in charge
of third division, and D. B. Scott in charge
of the fourth division, having for It's ter
minus Council Bluffs.
A. T. Bailey, as chief material clerk and
T. R. Cummins, chief draughtsman, have,
MIR. Grafton said, been of the greatest as
sistance to him during the building of the
line. In fact, as Engineer Grafton puts it,,
he was most fortunate in having to work
with him as capable and faithful corps of
engineers and assistants as could be gath
cred together anywhere.
The road has been the means of furnish
ing a vast amount of employment during
the past year and at times as many as
5000 men and 1900 teams were at work.

IT WAS ONLY SELF-MURDER
IdcptIty oC the St Louisan who In
sured MS Lifc md Then
Killed himself.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 1o.-Au Ques-
ton as to the identity Of the man who, as
Aaron Wolfsohn of ST. Louis secured life
insurance policy for $4,000 here few
months ago and then committed suicide, is
now removed The man who took out the
policy and killed himself is proved to be
Aaron Wolfsohn, both by photographs re-
ceiycd from the cast and by comparison OF
handwriting. The only unexplained part OF
the story is as to the person who claimed
in Chicago that he was Aaron Woltsohn and
the identity of someone who wrote a letter
to the insurance agent here to the effect that
the supposed Wolfsohn was not that man,
but that a murder had been committed in
order to defraud the insurance companies.
The policy was paid to the public admins
traitor by the company who afterwards tried
to get it back. The amount will now go to
the dead mans heirs-at-law

HOW the Strike Was settled.

The settlement of the plumbers strike
was brought about through the efforts OF
the Trades and Labor assembly of this city,
to which the matter was referred by the
Omaha union. BY the terms of the settlement
the bosses agreed to employ only union men
hereafter. There was no difference between
the union plumbers and the bosses as TO
wages The bosses have at all times been
perfectly willing to pay the union scale for
union hours The settlement will come be-
fore the next meeting of the Trades and
Labor assembly for ratification. The brick
masons of this city have partially effected
the organization of a union and the first
action taken by them is to notify the con-
tractors that they will demand an increase
of wages after the first of the new year,
except in the case of work already con-
tracted for. The limit on these contracts
will be extended to April l, when the brick
masons will demand an increase of wages
on all work

war Relic Factory.

The Philadelphia Record tells about a
relic factory hidden away in a clump Of
trees near Gettysburg. The value of this
years production will be about $4,000 and
1t consists of "old bullets, old cannon balls,
soldier buttons, buckles, swords, pieces OF
bone and sabretasches, all, of course, OF a
very ancient and worn appearance These
are the cheaper products. There are be-
sides. in the finer and more costly lines,
testaments bored through by bullets, love
letters burned by powder and stained dark
with blood, skulls with leaden balls lodged
in the eye sockets or jaws and the full uni
forms, properly punctured and bloodstained,
of all the officers slain upon the battlefield.
The factory makes nothing in advance, thus
avoiding overstocRing. 1t only runs on or
ders, and by night the customers call for
their goods. They are innkeepers, the gro
GERS, the saloon keepers, bakers and real es-
tate men of the town, and whenever it is
moonlight they may be seen distributing
the rare relics cautiously and judlciously
over the field. Visitors there now are more
numerous than they used to be. 1t is no
longer usual to poke about all day without
unearthing so much as a single bullet and
tourists appreciate this change"
