IRELAND'S OPPORTUNITY.

The prediction has often been heard in recent
years that England's emergency would be Ire
lands opportunity. The moment it was said
Great Britain was involved in serious war or
other menacing complication Ireland would
strike, and strike hard for repeal of the Union.
If not for entire independence of that Crown to
which O'COnnell professed so passionate de-
yOtion. Nor have these been mere Irish threats
More than one serious minded English states
man has feared that such would be the case.
while to many impartial observers In other
lands it has seemed entirely probable The
question has of late arisen whether Ireland's
opportunity is not given In this present war; 1t
is the greatest war Great Britain has been en-
gagged in since she crushed Napoleon Bonaparte
1t has called her ablest generals and the flower
of her army to the other side of the world
And II has provoked not a little talk of inter
ventlon against her by some coalition of CONT
mental Powers. Has the time come for Ireland
to strike her long expected blow?
An authoritative answer has just been given
AT the opening of Parliament the Irish Ma
tionalists of all factions -Parnellites, anti
Parnellites and Mr.. Healy, who is an impor-
tant faction all by himself-met to discuss the
situation. They met by auspicous selection in
Committee Room No. is, and not that No. Is
which has become historic as a new Kilkenny
The proceedings were orderly and dgnifed. 1t
was fully recognized that Great Britain was in
an unpleasant predicament. Indeed, one speaker
described her prestige as practically shat
tered" Therefore 1t was agreed that Ireland's
opportunity had indeed come, and il was re-
solved-unanimously believe-to take adj
vantage of II. But in what way? Not by organ
izing another Fenian raid against Canada, and
thus sending one Of the most eminent Irish

as many of the later generation may suppose.
IN the half century since the Forty-Niners
brought in new gold and new world cotton
ranged above cents nearly all the time In
1891 and 1852, aud theE until the winter of
1864 and from March, 1856, through the war.
when 81 30 was quoted, and through twenty
nve subsequent years of prosperity or panic cot
ton never sold at New-York as low as cents.
But when the new industrial era came 1t dropped
below that price in August, 1891 and while as
much cents was obtained for short
time In 1s9697, and from September l, 1895, to
March 1. 1896, and In the winter of 1929. yet
much the greater part of the time during the
last eight years Southern growers have been
compelled to take less, though not because Of I'M
friendiness to their interests anywhere unless In
their own calculations They continue to raise,
year after year, more cotton than the world
would buy at 8 cents more, and 1t does
not necessarily follow that the growers
wise. They have established a stronger hold
upon the markets of the world than could have
been secured in any other way, and have
greatly discouraged competing development
elsewhere, and in harmony with modern indus
trial progress have sought larger returns by in
creasing the output and reducing the price. At
times they have overdone it and raised too
much cotton for their own good but the growth
helped them wonderfully. That form of market
not controlled by Liverpool NewYork or
New Orleans speculation, but by the increased
demand for goods which mills near the cotton
fields can produce, gives to the cotton growing
industry a and more solid foundation.
OF course 1t would be a mistake TO suppose
that s cent cotton can be maintained in any
other than an exceptional year. While there
has been much talk about the loss and destitu-
ton Of the Southern planter whose cotton sold
below cents in New York, the truth is that
the South produce much cheaper cotton
than 1t could years ago. II there has been less
reduction Of cost in that industry than In many
others through the application of modern science
and machinery, still all the world knows that
while cotton has been selling at prices between
$50 and cents here the Southern people have
deliberately gone forward to plant an area
which with fair success must yield crop close
to the largest. The price so low as TO materially
check production does not seem to be found
anywhere above cents at NewYork, and with
wide areas of good land yet unproductive the
tendency is always the world over toward that
price which will check increased growth and
turn the energy of the farmers to some other
crOn

WESTMINSTER AND THE WAR.

The British Government had a good day on
Tuesday. The vote upon its policy in South
Africa was taken In the House of Commons.
1t is to be borne in mind that it a vote
upon that, pure and simple 1t was not TO de-
eide whether the war, now they are in it, is to
be fought out and the best made Of it. The
sole question WAS whether the policy of the
Government in its negotiations before the
and in its conduct of the campaign since was to
be approved. 1t was, in its last analysis, a vote
of confidence in or censure of Mr.. Chamberlain.
The result of the polling was an approval of
the Governments policy and an expression of
confidence in Mr.. Chamberlain by nearly
threesfourths majority. The vote was 352 for to
139 against the Government. At the same time
news came to hand of the result of bye
election in York, the campaign for which had
been conducted largely on the issues of the
war. 1t showed a Government gain of $50 and
an Opposition loss of $50 votes and an increase
of the Government majority from IL to ,430.
Those figures seem to indicate that the Gov
eminent, Mr.. Chamberlain included enjoys the
reasonably full confidence of the nation.
Indeed, we are by no means sure that it is
not largely because of Mr.. Chamberlain that the
Government commands such confidence When
that astute and forcefu statesman became
Colonial Minister it was remarked in these col
umns that, since the British Empire was so
largely a colonial empire he was pre-emnently
the Imperial Minister. That is TO say, it was
his task to cherish and strengthen the bonds of
| empire He has performed that task so far as
South Africa is concerned, in different way
| from that which looked for. But he has
performed il. Amid all the catastrophes of the
war the fact stands clearly PORTLAND it is
that which most exasperates the foes of Great
Britain-that the British Empire has been con-
solidated and unified more than ever before
! The native princes of India have shown fine
| loyalty to their Empress and a generous readi-
ness to assist her to their utmost ability, while
| the American, Australasian and other colonies
have in an unprecedented manner fastened to
join the mother country in the doing of a great
imperial work. 1t is quite true, as Mr. Balfour
said, that Mr. Chamberlain's name will forever
be identified with that important movement
Whether for good or for evil then the British
| nation has committed itself to approval and
support Of its Government in its policy Of sup
| pressing the Boer conspiracy and Instruction
and maintaining British supremacy in South
Africa 1t is idle longer to say that the war
was provoked by any one man, or by any
clique of men, in England. So far as the Brit
| ish are in any wise responsible for the war the
responsibility is assumed by the entire British
| nation. II is not politicians war nor stock
| jobbers war, but a popular war, waged by a
people for the preservation of their empire.
