made of none effect by Premier Sails,
buys speech TO the Primrose League.
II "Ias the hair in the nose and ears. He
told Ireland plainly that home ruie3
would not be granted. England could
not afford to let home rule be cloak
for conspiracy against the peace and
power of the empire. Every English
man must be ready mt all times to re-
pei invasion. He might as we'll have
told the Irish they were traitors. Ev.
serybody is astonished at the bluntnesss
and rawness of the deliverance. II is
fairly barbaric In vlgor. utterly lacking
In tact, and it turns sour any sweetness
that the sojourn of the queen may have
left in the Celtic mind.

GOV. SHAW AND PROHIBITION.
dubuque Tisnesl
z Governor Shaw haaenot been required
to5pass on any legislation concerning
tho liquor traffic andsit istherefore not
understood what occasion the prohibit
loEists of Polk county have found for
formally deploring his indifference to
the cause SO near their hearts.

lcritics are or the class Governor Roose-
Welt has described as those who would

is the first time that Mr.. Cousins has
ever beer heard at state convention.
he is reserved in his style. He uses no
attitudes or caiisthenics. He speaks

With Very light range of moduiation,
and he grows az no point torrential.
There is no doubt that Cousins could be
lsauick, loud and torrential II he chose.
| He simply does not chose. This is the
style which he has elected. when ne
might have chosen the other. and 1t is
che style which gives the impression
of great reserve power, should he drop
THAT low Voice and let loose upon his
subject with all Of force which hin
hearers feel is laying back OF the slow
moving, deliberate front which the
