rule heresy that Ireland is separate
taxable equity" She must continue
to be outrageously deeced, impover-
ished and depopulated, as being an in
significant part of that majestic pratt
cal empire on which the sun never sets
and the tax gatherer never goes to
bed.
Indeed, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, al
most in so many words, parodied Lord
Palmerston's candid dictum that "ten-
ants right means landlords wrong"
He laid down the principle that JUS
tice to Ireland, Scotland or Wales is,
and must be, an injury to the predom-
inant partner, and necessary offence
in the light Of the higher imperialism.
And this, there can be but little doubt,
is, also, the contention of the Perksite
Liberal imperialists." They appar-
emily cannot, or rather will not, give
the slightest heed to system of gov
ernment like that of Switzerland or the
United States, in which the interests
of the parts (cantons and states) are
not sacrificed to the whole (the repub-
lic), nor those Of the whole to the
parts. When will it dawn upon the
imperialists of every stripe that feder-
alism is far stronger bond than i'm
perialism and that it is mere ignorant
arrogance for them especially to dub
themselves "Unionists."
The true "Unionists" are the FEEDER
alists or Home Rulers, because their
form of union rests on the enduring
foundation of justice to every compo-
nent part before even the require
ments of the whole are considered. If
the parish-the communists well or
dered, the empire may be safely trust
ed to take care of itself. parliament
ever cries for more money for the SER
vice Of the state. Just heavcns! or
what service is the state?" Every day
and every hour legislation spent, or
rather misspent, at st. Stephens is
| but a fresh argument in favor of radi-
cal decentralization, national and To-
cal.
IT the grand old man but had the
"gumption" to bring in truly states
manlke measure of home rule all
round, instead of his puerle zone
horse" Irish bill, how different might
nay, would have been, the situation
today. He discovered, as l foresaw
from the first, that the part of home
rule was greater than the whole,
Euclid Notwithstanding. And, by the
way, I take some credit to myself for
having advocated all round home rule,
in these columns, for more than twelve
months before any other publicist or
politician in these islands even re-

at federal solution of the national
administrative problem. obvious, in
deed, as is such solution.

BURGLARS HAVE HOT TIME.
Dynamite Safe at Armada, Mich, and
Citizens Engage Them in
BattIe-One Is Shot.

Armada, Mich, Sept. 30.-Three bur-
glars broke into the general store of
ID. II. Barrows, where the post office
is located, early Saturday and dyna-
mited the safe. The explosion awak-
ened the town and a number of citi-
zens were soon on the street. In the
battle which followed one of the
burglars was fatally wounded. He
gives his name as John Graham and
says his father lives at 112 Root street,
Cleveland.
The burglars left the store and start
ed for the railroad track after several
shots had been fired into them by citi-
zens. a running fight ensued, in which
Graham was wounded. His compan-
ions, however, carried him after he
fell and all three started down the
track on a handcar. LenoX, the next
station on the road, was notified and
a posse of deputies was waiting when
the handcar came in sight.
When they discovered the officers
the unwounded men took to the woods,
leaving Graham on the car. They
escaped after running fight with the
officers, in which many shots were
fred.
Graham died of his wounds Sunday.

COLUMBIA WINS.
Very Close Finish in the Firnt Race
with Shamrock U.--An Bxcit-
ing Contest.

New York, Sept. 30.-The Colum-
bia in the first race of the America
cup series, Is miles to windward and
return, defeated Shamrock II. by 81
seconds actual time and one minute
and 25 seconds corrected time. Both
yachts sailed well, and the Shamrock
led at the turn of the outer mark by
Al seconds.
The Shamrock took 2:24:5s to beat
Is miles to windward, which was at
the rate (allowing that 90 miles was
the actual distance covereD of about
1925 per mile, or about eight knots
per hour. In the run home the CO.
lumbia covered the course of Is miles
in 2:O5:30. This was at the rate OF
7:17 knots per hour. The Columbia
crossed the home line 35 seconds
ahead of the Shamrock. Boat for
boat, the Columbia won by 81 sec-
onds. The time allowance by the Off
cial table was 43 seconds. BY cor
rected time the Columbia won by one
minute and 90 seconds.
Because during IS miles of the
windward work and about IA of the
gained a perceptible second on the
other days race between the
Shamrock and the Columbia was so
remarkable that words fail adequate
ly to discuss it.
1t was a rec where the breeze aver
aged eight knots, taking the whole
time through. The Shamrock led by
two seconds at the start and there
after until the two were within two
miles of the turn neither of these
wonderful racers had gained percept-
IDLY so much as half second on the
other.
The Shamrock led by II seconds at
the turn. She had gained 80 seconds
in the last two miles. But by good
seamanship Barr forced her n mile
out of her course, and then on squar-
ing away to a lead of SO seconds.
In all the long run home neither
yacht gained so much as a second on
the other, and Columbia crossed 35
seconds ahead of the challenger.
Said the oldest and ablest of the
old barnacles on the press steamer
when the race was done: "Sir Thom-
as has not yet lifted the cup, but by
the great horn spoon he has set 1t
rocking" These are words of wis
dom. On Thursday in a breeze that
was too light to cover the course, Co
lumbia was more than a mile ahead
at the end of 51s hours. Saturday, in
breeze averaging eight knots for
the whole course, the Columbia fin
ished four feet less than twice her
own length from bowsprit to boom
end. And because the margin be.
tween the two was so narrow it
shows that the races to come are
certain to be as stirring as was that
of Saturday.

INSANE WOMAN'S DEED.
Wife of an Ohio Farmer browns HeI
Four Small Children and
Herself

Cleveland, o., Sept. 2s.-The small
town of Little York, station on the
line of the Akron, Bedford & Cleveland
railway line, Is miles south of this city,
was the scene of a terrible tragedy
early Friday. Mrs. Perry Curtis, the
wife of farmer, 3S years old, drowned
her four small children in a well, and
then committed suicide by jumping in
herself. Her band, Perry Curtis, was
in Cleveland with load of potatoes,
and knew nothing of the tragedy until
he read an account of it in the newspa.
pers. Following are the names and
ages of the dead: Mrs. Perry Curtis,
3S years; Rosa Curtis, two years; Anna
Curtis, four years; Harry Curtis, five
years; Harold Scuder, nine years. The
latter was Mrs. Curtis stepson. Mrs.
Curtis was released from the Massillon
insane asylum recently as cured, and it
is thought that it was while suffering
relapse that she committed the ter.
rible deed. Before leaving home Cur
tbs requested Eugene Roberts, neigh
Dor, to milk his cows. Roberts, upon
arriving at the Curtis farm, attempted
to draw some water from the well. To
his horror he found it literally filled
with dead bodies. The bodies were re-
moved from the well as soon as possi-
BILE, and viewed by the county coroner.
The body of Harold, the Oldest boy,
was terribly bruised. He had evidently
made desperate struggle to save him
self. 1t is believed he was dead before
being thrown into the we'll.
