COMPULSORY SALE OF ESTATES
BY IRISH LANDLORDS, ONE of THE
THINGS THE IRISH MEM
BEERS DEMAND.

LONDON, February 14-Mr. John
Redmond, in the course of an interview
in the lobby of the House of Commons
this evening, said:
While the peers and commoners
were jostling in vulgar haste to pay
obeisance to Edward VII, every Irish
member deliberately abstained from
any participation which was only a
mockery to our people, poverty-strick-
en- and oppressed as they are At the
meeting of the Irish National party to-
day it was unanimously decided that
the Irish members would take no part
in the ceremonies.
The resolution was unanimous So
intense is this feeling among us that
for the first time in ten years eighty
six members met in a united party.
They determined upon vigorous cam
paign against the new King. They
tend not only to discuss Irish oues-
tons, but to interfere in every Brit
ish question which may arise. We de-
mand compulsory sale of estates by
Irish landlords. The government pro-
poses a bill offering inducements to
Irish landlords to sell The proposal
is an acknowledgment of the power
of our new movement
We propose to expose the iniquity
of the Boer war and to make a general
assault along the whole line. Having
man to fight, Ireland will relinquish
her chivalrous attitude to the late
Queen and we mean to know once for
all whether our constitutional rights
are 70 be awarded to US or not"
Mr. Redmond's amendment for com
pulsory sale of Irish estates viii be
seconded by Thomas Wallace Russell
The government intends 10 raise the
civil list to 100000. The proposal
will meet opposition.

regime In accordance with the wishes
and the commands Of the people at the
polls. The time has been wasted and
the public business blocked in deals
and intrigues with the newly elected
Councilmen, engineered by and on be-
half of the desperate members of the
city ring, who, discTedited at the polls
and knowing that their grip on the
city treasury is slipping, are desperate
ly using every means and every infiu-
ence they can command to hold on.
The people have spoken through
their ballots and their demand for a
change has been unmistakable. The
election of decisive majority of anti
ring candidates at the recent election
unquestionably demonstrated their en-
phatic disapproval of the ring. Cues
tionable 'holdovers" alone prevented
the election of working majority in
Council which would promptly have
complied with these demands.
The influence of these "holdovers,"
however, has been nullifed by the in
dependent action of three Republicans
who have shown sufficient regard for
the popular wishes to cut loose from
their party and the ring and stand
prepared to act with the Democrats to
turn ClIf tho RING
The duty, especially of every Demo-
crat, in this situation is plain. Pri-
vate friendship or business affiliations
should not be carried to the extent of
blocking reforms demanded by the
whole people, whose desires must be
paramount with every Councilman who
wishes to honestly represent tie con !
stituency that elected him, to whom
alone he is responsible, and who, lie
may be sure, will not forget to hold
him to a full account for his public
acts
The people demand that the ring be
turned out of power and those who
are standing in the way of fulfllment
of this demand shoulder a heavy re-
sponsibility, for the public patience is
we'll nigh exhausted.

LANGUAGE WITH THE BARK ON.

In his Lincoln Day address to the
Legislature of Massachusetts Senator
Hoar, recently reelected by that body,
took occasion to pay his respects to the
money power which mas become the
dominating factor of the government
under Republican administration. His
language must have made the ears of
certain millionaires among Mr.. Hoar's
senatorial colleagues burn like fire:
THE millionaire who would corrupt a
great State to get a great office must be
made to feel that his success will bring
with it neither joy nor honor. Let him be
avoided as one with leprosy. We shall
not. probably, revive the ignominious
punishments of the past But If they are
ever revived. let him be their first vic
tim. The whipping post, the branding on
the forehead, the cropping of the ears,
the scourging at the carts tail are light
punishments for the rich man who would
debauch a State, whether it be an old
State, with an honorable history, or a
young and pure State, in the beginning of
it's history. If we cannot apply them lit
orally and physically, let the aroused pub
lie sentiment of his countrymen pillory
and brand and scourge the infamous Of
fender. Leave him to his infamy. Let
him be an outcast from the companion
ship of freedom.
All of which is referred to certain
wealthy and more or. less respected
and respectable plutocrats of the Uni
ted States Senate. There are several
members, whom the country will in
stantly recognize, to whom these scar
ing words of the venerable Massachu-
sets senator are almost a direct per-
sonal challenge. Everybody knows
them
1t was fitting utterance for Lin
coin day and illustrates forcibly how
great has been the change since the
days when the martyr president, hum
bic and lowly in estate and poor in
pocket, but rich in character and pa
triotic devotion, was elevated without
the aid of ''slush fund" of millions,
to the highest Office in the gift of the
people.

The authorities disturbed by the seri-
Gus conflicts last night decided no
longer to permit the populace to have
free rein. When Madrid awoke it
found itself under military rule. A
proclamation was posted announcing
the enforcement of martial law in con-
sequence of the inability of the civil
authorities TO cope with the disturb
ances.
Mounted troops patrolled the city
and occupied every strategic point,
and a demonstration toward the palace
on account of the wedding was thus
| nipped in the bud.
Immense crowds surrounded the pal
ace during the ceremony, but not a
word of disrespect was overheard. The
public did not participate in the we'd
ding in any way. There was no public
fete of any character connected with it.
After the ceremony the mayor issued
an appeal to the populace, asking for
calmness and confding in the good
sense and courtesy of the inhabitants
of Madrid and to allow nothing further
to occur that would compel the rigor-
Gus employment of martial law.
Gen. Weyler now holds the city. He
has prohibited persons gathering in
groups. Any one found insulting the
troops by word or deed will be tried
by courtmartial. Parents and guar
dams permitting children on the streets
will be fined. Military subjects on fur
Tough who take part in disturbances
will be courtmartialed. Persons injur-
ing railways or other means of trans
portation and persons interfering with
or melting workmen will also be court
martialed.
AS a result of the strong position
taken by Gen. Weyler and the knowl-
edge of the populace that he will carry
out his proclamation, the city has been
without disturbance all day.
A cabinet crisis is looming up. 1t
appears that Senior Garcia Alix and
Senior Sanchez Toca disapproved Of
the declaration of martial law.

1t Is an act of religion to turn these
wheels in passing. This not only bene-
fits the soul of the founder, and helps
him to attain Nirvana, but also the
soul of the traveller, as every act of
charity meets its reward in future
state. The lamas usually carry pray
ing-wheels, which they are perpetual
ly turning in sign of prayer, while the
common people make frequent use of
them. This custom of praying by ma

SAVING CURN FODDER.
When Properly Preserved in n Dry
State II Contains ns Much Nu-
trimcnt ms Silage.

There is a growing interest in the
preservation of corn fodder, and
farmers are finding that cows do well
upon corn fed in the husk. 1t has been
my practice for several years to cut
up the corn when about half the blades
are ripened, and to feed it to my cows
in winter letting them do the husking
and the grinding. They do this work
cheaper than l can do it, ] do not feed
ensilage. l sell my milk to the con-
densing factory, and our factory has
not progressed far enough yet to take
milk that is made from ensilage.
If dry corn fodder is properly pre-
served it will contain as much putri-
ment as ensilage does, and more. The
trouble is that most of us do not prop
erly save it. When boy we used to
cut off the tops of the corn stalks
above the ear and save this for fodder.
1t made excellent fodder, too. Wheth-
er or not it was then argued-as some
times it has been since--that the top
ping helped the development Of the
ear, do not remember. 1t is of no
advantage in that direction, however,
and topping is a waste, for. will
consume pretty nearly the entire
stalk, if it is cut up at the right time
and shredded. Ii seems strange that
as valuable forage as good corn
stalks should have so long been unap-
preciated. Good corn fodder is bet

better than great deal of timothy
