The old political economists We're
right when they said that articles en-
HANGED in value when desirable for
their use, limited in supply and trans
ferable. Potatoes are high this year
chiefly for the reason that they are
scarce, and farmers with large crops
of the tubers are consequently happy.
Irish potatoes are being shipped from
the Emerald Isle to this country in
large quantities. The American farm
ers must share Mckinley prosperity"
with the manufacturers of agricultural
implements. The price Of plows and
other farming utensils has gone up
about 10 per cent. The manufacturers
claim that material and wages are
higher than a year ago, and hence they
demand and must have bigger prices
from the farmers for their wares.

jeremiah O'Donovan Rosa went to
Chicago on Aug. Is and delivered a
speech, in the course Of which he ad-
vocated the burning of London as an
act of retaliation against England fol
her disagreement of Ireland. The
veteran agitator and unrepentant rebel
also made an attack upon Mr.. Davitt,
who was addressing a gathering of
Irish sympathizers in another part of
the city-Boston Republic. We beg
to assure our esteemed contemporary
that ODonovan Rosa neither advocat-
ed the burning of London nor attacked
Michael Davitt. We listened to the
''unrepentant rebel'' ON the occasion
referred to and know whereof we
speak. The name Of Davitt was not
mentioned by Rosa or any other
speaker at the meeting in Oswald $
Grove.

within a year, if it is not over by that
time, the taxpayers will grumble so
loudly as to make Salisbury, Balfour
and Chamberlain tremble in their
boots. The Africanders of Cape Col
ony are enlisting in the Boer cause,
and the whole country is in sympathy
with the invaders. Leading British
subjects of Dutch descent are being
prosecuted by the British officials of
the colony and general instruction is
not improbable. Everything looks ia
vorable for the Beers who, though few
in comparison with the British, are as
determined as ever to fight to the last
man. Such people cannot be con-
quered.

with the management of the affairs Of
their native land. The cry of the Brit

petent to govern their own country

THE SICK MAN OF EUROPE,

That sublime rascal, Abdul Hamid,
the sultan Of Turkey, is reported to
have declared that he is ready to face
Il war with France before acceding
to the demands Of that republic re-
garding the 'Quays at Constantinople.
| [ a war ensues the concert of Europe,
which guarantees the integrity Of the
Ottoman Empire, will certainly col
lapse. There will be no war if Eng
land can prevent it, for at present she
has her hands full in South Africa,
and her fleet is inferior to that of
France.
For the past half century England
has stood back of Turkey and kept
Russia from entering the Mediterrane-
an through the Bosphorus and the OAR
danelles. Just now Russia sees a
chance of obtaining an outlet from the
Black Sea for her fleet through the
controversy between France and Tur-
key. Russia and France are two pow
erful nations, and the most cordial re-
lations exist between them. The visit
Of the car to Paris is an event of
much significance.
TO avoid the impending war Eng
land has to act promptly and get Tur-
key to acquiesce In the demands Of
France. If the sultan's exchequer is
depleted let England make a loan to
pay the claims. England has not a
single ally in Europe outside of the
'unspeakable Turk" and in a contest
with Russia and France the outcome
can readily be imagined.
France and Russia are evidently OH
the war path. Ii ever there was Il
chance for them to huniliate England,
now is the time. Last week it was re-
ported that the sympathy Of the car
was with the Beers. The sympathy OF
President Loubet has been with them
from the beginning.
10 the careful observer of European
diplomacy the present crisis is preg-
nant with results. The Fasoda Incl
dent is not forgotten by France. Ger
many is likely to remain neutral. EN-
peror William cannot afford to an
tagonize Russia and France for the
sake OF England. His empire is be-
tween them and they would crush it
like an eggshell. His people despise
England for her crueltes in South At
RIGA and would be glad to see her hum
bled in the dust.
But what Of the United States
Would this imperial republic rush to
the aid of the mother country" and
mix up in European complications
We trow not. The advice of Washing
ton will be needed by the American
people, despite the rawlings of the
Anglomaniacs. No entangling alliance

The New York Journal credits Ire
land with being the birthplace of
Charles James Fox and Patrick Henry.
The former was an Englishman and
the latter an American. Ireland has
produced plenty of eloquent men with
out claiming either Fox or Henry.
They were both great orators, to be
sure. but Ireland has been prolific
in orators who equalled them. AS Ma
COON says: can unbroken series of con-
summate orators have illuminated the
dreary history Of that abused and
mucl-injured island like so many pill
lars Of fire." Fox and Henry may have
been Celts, but they were not Irish
men.

A dispatch from Dublin says that
John Redmond, the parliamentary

New York early in October to join

we'll for other leading Irishmen to ac-

Americans have high opinion of the
Irish parliamentarians for espousing
the cause Of the Beers at Westminster.

THE SUICIDE OF A NATION.

Mhe great question which demands
the immediate attention Of Irishmen
for solution is how to prevent the de-
population Of their native land. Ire
land is fast bleeding to death, and an
etticacious remedy must be found ut
once. What does it avail the repre-
sentutives of Ireland i'll the British
parliament to spend their days and
nights pleading for justice to their
country in hostile assembly If the
people whose cause. they champion so
fearlessly leave their native shores for.
ever ut the rate of 1000 week
What is the use Of organizing the Unit
esl Irish League to fight alien landlord
ism If the tillers Of the soil do not
remain at home? Something must be
done, and that speedily, to prevent the
Irish people from committing national
destruction. If things so on as ut pres
ent Ireland will soon be "a corpse on
the dissecting table," and the battle OF
centuries between Celt and Saxon will
have been fought and won before the
end of this generation.
That indomitable patriot, Michael
Davitt, contributed an article to the
Chicago American Of last Sunday dn
which he said that ''the root and cause
of excessive emigration from Ireland
is found in the absence Of domestic
government" He quoted from British
authorities to show that If the re.
sources of Ireland We're developed she
could Support 2O,OOO,OOO inhabitants.

An American priest, who has recent
~ returned from Europe, thinks it
would be good plan for the United
States to trade the Philippines for Ire
land. 1t would be an excellent thing
for Ireland, for its natural resources,
now lying dormant, would be devel-
'ped, and the peope would stay at home
to make their island a beehive of in
dustry under the Stars and Stripes.
But England would not tolerate an

Ireland once republic under the pro-
