The Decline Of tho IRISH cLtles.

In Ireland alone Of all the coun.
tries Of Christendom the cities DO

a speech in Dublin that they tail to

rural districts. II the young men
and women leave their holdings
on the sod they love so we'll they

What an arraignment Of British
rule is this confession! In Ger
many, Italy, Scandinavia, Austria
Hungary, in the United States, in
England itself the cities are teem-
ing, busting, prosperous; they ex-
pand, they consolidate, they swal-
low great suburbs, they pride
themselves upon splendid public
works undertaken, upon parks

improved.

and Falmarck, a Swede, both en-
| gineers, TO investigate the subject
and they reportedin England to The
Royal Society and the Royal Geo
graphical Society. Bolivar, al
GuaYaquil, in IS29, declared to an
American gentleman that, having
brought the war between Colon.
bia ana Peru to a victorious con.
clusion, he intended, on his return
to Bogota. to employ his army in
building the canal. But Bolivar
was compelled by falling health to
resign and soon after died. 1t is
believed that, had he lived and con-
tinued in power. the employment
OF his tremendous energy nd tai
ents would have assured le com
pletion Of the work.
The next effort was grant 10
Baron de Thierry to build a canal
by aid OF th~ ,ivers Chagres and

Santander, President Of New Gran
ada, made this contract. De
Thierry was an usher in Cambridge

metsome chiefs from New Zealand,
who, in a freak, conferred upon
him letters patent as Sovereign
Chief OF New Zealand" When he
solicited the canal grant from San
tander ne insisted upon the use Of
that title, and when il was not en-.
ployed his zeal for the canal abated.
He was a mere adventurer. This
brings the history OF the canal up
to 1885, and the organization Of
Blddle's company and its failure.
In 1885 John M. Clayton pro-
NOTED an inquiry in Congress, and
the result was an exhaustive report
with appendix containing the opin-
ion OF Mr. Radcliff, to the effect
that what is now known as the Pan
anna route was the preferable route.
The Democratic Re0se1v TOR No
vember, 1889, recommended that
canal treaties be made with the
Central American Governments
and England, France, Holland and
Russia, Clayton made the first OF
these, with England, now known
as the ClaYton-Bulwer treaty, and
yet the project is but little farther
advanced than when the monk
united the oceans in the ravine OF
Raspadura, one hunired and four
teen years ago.

The Simultaneous designations OF

Neither was returned.
The move is considered by the
politicians in Washington as a very
shrewd one on the part Of Tillman.
He was unanimously returned to
the Senate. There is no doubt here
that with his complete organiza-
tion and his great force on the
stump he will defeat McLaurin.

ANYTHING more mistaken than the
canteen law have never witnessed. IL
could only have been forced, as 1t was,
| by lot OF women who insist on having
the last word and a lot OF men who are
not so strong minded. | think never
saw anything that so quickly drove sober
| men into drunkards' shoes as the oper'
alton of the same anticanteen law.
The Ne7O Votcs is willing to ad-
init that Rev. Mr.. Dexter and his
friend "were shocked at what they
saw" but holds that as they had
never seen a canteen in operation
they were not in position to say
whether the new order Of things
was worse than the old and
whether a return would be benefi-
cial for the men. But when Father
Dalton, who has had experience
OF both, unhesitatinglY denounces
the change, he is warned that "the
less frequently he repeats his state
ment the better it will be for his
clerical reputation. He may be
"very good priest" but when he
undertakes to set up facts against
the Vorcs'S the ories he becomes, in
the eyes OF that paper, "Very big
TOOL"
These are the methods adopted
by Prohibitioniststs to conceal the
excesses to which soldiers have
been driven bv the withdrawal Of
the canteen privilege. When up
right and honorable clergvmen, in
pursuance OF their vocation, lift
their voices in condemnation OF the
law enacted by Congress at the
behest Of we'll meaning but i'm.
practical enthusiasts, they are
abused and threatened, their mo-
tives impugned, and eventually
are driven to sever all connection
with the religious bodies with
which they had been affiliated. as
has happened in the case OF Rev.
DR.. Dexter.
The bigots at the back Of the
anti-Canteen movement, fading
themselves unable to resist the
overwhelming weight OF evidence
adduced against them, are now
seeking to prejudice and poison
the public mind by asserting that
officers receive commissions on the
beer sold and that brewing corr
pa1ies, like the Anheuser Busch,
o St. Louis, and the Galland-
Burke, oi Spokane, Wash, own not
only the post exchange buildings
and fixtures but practically the
profits from sales. Such slander-
GUS stories are unworthy OF denial.
They serve, however. to show the
depths Of iniamy to which their
propagators have fallen and the
lengths to which they will go to
support their wavering cause.
The SENTINEL will see to it that
Congressman during the recess are
kept we'll informed of the tactics OF
the Prohibitionists, and upon reas-
sembling in December they will be
in position to vote intelligently on
the repeal OF this i'll. advised law.

PaIestine's Wine Industry.

Palestine's exports and imports are
improving, though last year they were
less than in 1899 Southern Palestine is
occupied d largely with German eolonists'
who manufacture wine On scientific
principles. The vineyards have modern
machinery, underground cellars and the
other require ments of twentieth century
wine making, At Richon lie Sion there
are cellars that store I, 100 600 gallons of
wine, not to mention large quantities
forwarded to Hsmburg. A light claret
and dry white wine Of fine quality are
produced here, while az Sarona variety
Of wines is prodnced. All these wines
Of the Holy Land excel, 1t is said, the
common French and Italian wines,
There is now an excellent prospect that
the vineyards Of Palestine may once
more be Of note, as in the olden DAYS.
Many parts of the land seem to be natu.
rally adapted to grape growing, although
the industry has for long been neg
lected, partly perhaps, because the
Koran irowns upon the product of the
vine,
One traveller speaks OF vine near
Acre the branches oil which formed
a shelter more than thirty feet broad
and long and bore bunches weighing
ten or twelve lbs. The late Dean Stanley
describes, as one peculiarly Of ludea,
the abundance OF the terraced vineyards,
with their watch towers and walls, just
as they were for centuries before the
tall Of jerusalem. But Ia those DAYS the
culture of the vine was far more generaI
than now; it extended south of the
boundary Of Judah into the region
possessed by Simeon, and the late
Professor Palmer tells us how he saw,
even in the arid Negeb, or South COun-
try, the signs OF former vineyards. The
revival OF the ancient industry in this
and other fruits is largely due to the Jew
sh colonies which have been planted
by the liberality Of their wealthy core
| Hgionists, and the success Of their efforts
at once to help their own people and L
| make Palestine again land to be de

Political Crisis In Prussia,
Manchester Guardian, Hgy 8.

The political crisis in Prussia has
ended, as was foreseeu, in a triumph for
the forces of reaction. The Elbe- Oder
Canal bill has been abandoned for a
second time in difference to ConserYa-
tive and Clerical opposition, ald the
Government apparently intends to MAKE
no attempt to retrieve its defeat. The
veteran DR.. Won MIGUEL, long Vice
President Of the Prussian Cabinet, has
been dismissed, partly, no doubt, be-
cause he has given only a lukewarm and
equivocaI support TO the Canal project.
But the removal Of DR.. Won Miguel from
Office may also be explained on personal
grounds-Count Won Bulow has found
him probably too powerful and inde
pendent a subordinate-and in any case

selfish tactics OF the Agrarians is clear
proof that it will not break with the
reaclionary parties. The fate OF the
Canal bill is, indeed. chiefly interesting
as an illustration OF the close connection
between the Prusslan Government and
the most unpopular and reactionary
elements in the State--a connection
which has steadily grown more intimate
since Count Caprlvl fell in 1894. Indus
