sUNBEAMS FROM CUCUMBERS.

The efforts Of the Hon. Jim" Griggs and the
other masters of strategy who are directing the
Democratic fight for the next House of Repre-
sentatiTes TO extract some comfort from the
Maine election returns have been generally dis
missed by charitable critics as an ingenious
exhibition of the art OF making the best of an
almost hopeless outlook. MIR Griggs seems to
abound in cheerfulness; he is veritable Mark
TapIey when IL comes to extracting sunbeams
from cucumbers. Yet a certain perfunctory
favor can be detected in the Georgia states
mans optimism. As an official oracle his
auguries are subject TO a suspicion of Pick
mechanism. He has TO do something TO bolster

persuade itself, apparently, that the slightly re-
duced piuralities given for Republican candi-
dates in three of the four Maine Congress dis
tr;cts presage similar shrinkage in Republi-
can strength in all the other States of the
Union. 1t points out that SIR. Allen got a
plurality in The LIST District of 5.237, against
z7s3 two years ago; that Mr.. Littlefelds plu-
ralify in the lid District fell from 7.776 in 1900

In September 1906 the Republican plurality FOR
Governor and Congressman was about 3Z,Voo

In September 1890, the Republican candidates

was swept by a violent reaction against Re-
publicanism. If they show anything. the results

THE STATE OF IRELAND.

The furious agitation in Dublin is ostensibly
a protest against the application of the Crimes
act to that city Actually it is only one mani
festation of general unrest throughout the ISL
and, the most general and the most menaeing
since the stormy days of Gladstonian coercion.
Mr.. Wyndham is of course the chief target OF
abuse and attack. The Chief Secretary usually
is such target wherever there is anything do
ing in Ireland In this Mr.. Wyndham fares as
did two of the greatest of his predecessors in
that thankless office. We shall see how he en-
dures it. If he does not thrive upon it and Guilt
vate joyous and triumphant philosophy, as
did Mr.. BalfOur, we may at least be sure he
will not be betrayed in the house OF his friends
as Mr. Forster was.
The present agitation differs materially from
that of Gladstone's time and from all others
since then. That ia GIadstone's time was in
cited by real and desperate popular distress,
perhaps the greatest since the great famine.
Bad seasons. the failure of crops and such OBJ
preston on the part of landlords as now would
seem all but incredible gave IrishInen ample
ground for demanding such reforms as would
relieve the people from burdens too great 10 be
borne. But now there Is such distress The
weather has been propitous, crops have been
good the country is generally prosperous and

A TINE FOR CAUTION.

The Republican party cannot carry Network
merely with the votes of Republicans who
stand without hitching." Its majorities are
due to the favor of men who vote the Republl-
can ticket not because it is labelled Republican,
but because 1t stands for policies and proposes
candidates which commend themselves TO their
Judgment The factors which determine the
votes of these citizens who decide elections are
various and complex. Fortuitous circumstances
and mere prejudices may sway enough voters
to change an earned victory into defeat.
Well as has the Republican party earned
new lease Of power in this State, excellent as
has been Governor Odelrs administration no
unnecessary alienation of voters can be afforded
Not only In the selection Of candidates, but in
the conduct Of the State and local conventions
the greatest care should be taken to win the
favor of Independent citizens. No Republican
should desire to hamper his party by seeking
preferment which would subject that party to
criticism and make it bear the burden of antag-
onisms which he may have aroused. This is no
time for securing vindications, however natural
and laudable may be the personal desires for
them.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
COMEDY IN TRANSLATION.

An English version of the comedy by Scribe and
Legouve, La Bataille aux Danes" was produced
last night at the Garrick Theatre, under the name
of There's Many Slip The version was MADE
by Robert Marshall but, though advertised as his
comedy. it is sufficiently close to the French to
be chiefly interesting a speciment of Scribe
work, ard appealing the merits it possessed
when 1t left Scribes pen. Where Marshall mas
changed the original, in the main it is at least de-
batable whether he has improved it, So the pro-
duction of There's Many a Slip may without
exaggeration be regarded educational, both as
an illustration of historic playwrights work
and as a salutary source of comparison.
For in its unnaturalness, its often wellnigh i'm
possibility. when judged by standards of actual fe
its mixture of strong sentiment and farce almost

tain grace and charm. swing and sparkle. even

the pervading quality of the dialogue. a touch

various land laws and purchase acts have iifted
the burden of landlordsm to degree far be-
yond what was asked twenty years ago. Inc
agitation differs from the others since the first
Land League too. in that it is exclusively Irish
and is not backed by q great Home Rule party
Ia England. 1t is purely irish movement. and
a purely political one. 1t is the Irish reply to
Mr.. Balfours attempt to smother Home Rule
with kindness" and plain notice that neither
concessions nor prosperity will satisfy the Irish
nor anything save complete separation from
Great Britain. Whatever we may think of the
wisdom the discretion Of such movement,
ii has at least the merit of clearing the air and
showing the real object of agitation.
Meantime some light is thrown upon the do
nestle state of Ireland by the details Of the re-
cent census. The county of Dublin has in the
last ten years increased in population by 6.3 per
cent. In the ten years emigration was only
10G15, against "a, S14 in the preceding ten years
and an average of 225S6 for each of the last
five decades. The proportion of iliterates de-
creased, also. from 24.7 to 1913 per cent One
person In every fifty was in receipt of relief
from the public funds. In County Cavan, one
of the strong Roman Catholic counties Of Ulster,
on the other hand. the population has decreased
by 12.S per cent The emigration, however,
decreased, being only 1908, against 21,689 III
the preceding ten years, and an average soI
223S7 in each of the five decades. 1lliteracy
also decreased from 3J4 to 27.7. and only one
in every sfxty-nfne received relief from the
public.
These figures and others which might he
cited from the same statistics, indicate that
there is a certain degree of progress in That
most distressful country and yet that dis
satisfaction widely prevails. Emigration, though
decreasing, is still large, and far too large, and
the obvious tendency to flock from the country
to the cities which exists in Ireland as else
where, is not at all commendable. Beyond
doubt. whether or not there is justifying ground
for it. there is ample material for the incite-
ment of agitation, and may expect to see
stormy times in Ireland during the coming win
ter perhaps the stormiest since the treaty Of

WANTED BY TRIBUNE FRESH AIR FUND. |

WANTED BY IRIBUNE FRESH AK FCND.
The work OF The Tribune Fresh Air Fund
has closed for this year. OF the fact that it has
been successful its friends need no assurance,
for the work and It's methods have approved
themselves more and more widely during all
the years that it has been carried on. The good
it has done has been made evident to all who
have followed it and who knew what the eff
fects of country joys and kindly helpfuness
have been upon the little people who have
come within its beneficent influences. We need
not now rehearse what mas been done during
the summer just closed, for our readers have
been kept fully Informed of it from week to
week. There have been 9,129 children sent to
the country, there to regain health and strength
and TO store them away for another years
struggle with existence in the tenement houses
and TO gain new insight into the meaning of
the sympathy and kindness and hospitable
welcome so freely offered by the big hearted
people in the country who have cO-Operated
with The Tribune Fresh Air Fund by receiving
them into their homes.
The good has been done and its results have
been garnered. But The Tribune Fresh Air
Fund needs $500 to pay for railroad tickets
already used to transport boys and girls to and
from the country. Its treasury is empty The
fact was foreseen before the end of the season
came but arrangements made and promises
given We're carried out in confident reliance
on the friends of the Fund for the same
generous support that for so many wears
has made its work possible. We ask them
to bring the level of their financial support I'D
to that of the hospitality of the country friends,
which continued beyond the measure of the
available resources; and feel that we
have only to state the case to make sure
Of an ample response. Those who contributa
to The Tribune Fresh Air Fund know. or they
should know by this time that every dollar
they give goes to the transportation of children
on the railroads. and that through the big heart
edness OF those corporations with souls evarv
dollar does much more than dollars worth
OF work. There is nothing spent for admins
tration or for office expenses-Tbe Tribune
provides for those; and there is nothing spent
for the entertainment of the chiIdren-tba gap.
erous hospitality of our friends in the country
provides for that. An investment in an institn-
ton that is so economically managed gives the
biggest kind of dividends.
