to make from the soil an ample liv-
 ing. For one cause and another the substitution of small proprietary hold ings for large estates is highly de- sirable; and upon this line recent leg isiation has proceeded. Although they
 oppose the doctrine of Home Rule the Conservatives have not been be-
 hind the Liberals in reform measures
 in behalf of the tenants. But there
 is difference of opinion between the
 government and the Irish party in
 Parliament as to what is practical
 and what is not; and as a conse-
 quence the latter has encouraged, and
 in some instances directly promoted
 this new Land League, which has re-
 Yived "boycotting' in all its severity,
 and which has tried to turn the slow
 process of gradual purchase into revo-
 lutionary dispossession, Furthermore,
 anything that seems to make the con-
 trol of Ireland by ordinary means inn possible offers an argument for Home
 Rule that has some plausibility. It may be, as MT. Gladstone said, that
 the Irish question is a land question:
 but it begins to look as if no amount of material prosperity can divert Irshmen from their national ambi- tions.
 The reality of the grievances of the tenants makes the government the more reluctant to take up with vigor the cause of the landlords. But if the Coercion act is to be applied at all mere proclamations will not suf- flee. The difficulty is that, while the conduct of the league is open to de- nunciation. it represents. after all. considerable public sentiment: and in the work of government abstract principles frequently have to yield to concrete facts. It may be doubted, however, if the Irish politicians, with their agitation for Home Rule, are the best friends of Ireland If Home Rule is ever to come it will be when Ireland is pacific and prosperous The attempt to revive Irish industries is the most hopeful undertaking that has been begun in recent years But boyoottins and violence with coercion as consequence. can only put back the hands of the clock. The Land League could. if 1t chose, assist the in improving agrarian and if the welfare of the tenant were the only consideration it would do so But its present attitude | will surely undo the good work of the past two decades When the govern | ment has to resort to coercion it ad- ! nits it's inability to govern under or | dinary laws, because league has made those laws unworkable.-Provi- dence Journal

THE FH ENCH COAST DEFENCE.

If, as some argue, the best guarantee of peace is ample preparation for war the outlook for peace is good. The French government recently issued an important decree recognizing the whole system of the coast naval de- fences of the country. Instead of the Director of Submarine Defences having the control of the torpedo boats. each port is to have an independent author ity subordinate only to the Maritime Prefect, and through him to the Min ister of Marine, The supply of lieu tenants ana ensigns for the torpedo boats and submarines being insufficient, master pilots are to have the command of some of the torpedo boats, and the latter are to be grouped in pairs so as to assist each other in search of the enemy. The first torpedo boat of each group will be under the command of a lieutenant or ensign, and the second under master pilot. In each center the force will be divided into two di- visions, the first of which will be kept fully manned, while the second will

INFELIX HIBERNIA.

The growing bitternes in Ireland government and makes more difficult
 than ever the solution of political and
 economic problems of the first impor-
 tance. It may be freely admitted that
 the island has been the victim of much blundering statesmanshp in the
 past, and that the existing evils are not wholly the fault of the present generation. But errors which have
 had such fatal results cannot be re- paired without spirit of conciliation on both sides. The renewal of the Coercion act is one of those meas ures which will only exasperate the Irish people further and at the same time will fail to accomplish it's object. That the government takes this step reluctantly is obvious. Already the landlords are crticsing MT Wynd- ham, the Irish secretary, for his lack of zeal. They say that nothing can be gained unless he makes the pro moters of the Land League see that he is in deadly earnest, Very possi bly this is true; but if nine-tenths of the Irish people are enthusiastical- iy in favor of the league, how is the government to deal with it except at the risk of civil war? It cannot be denied that the landlords have grev- ances, Too often American comment on Irish affairs disregards this inn portant fact, It is by no means strange if they call upon the law to protect them from outrage and vio- lenee.
 No one doubts that the land sys- tenn of Ireland needs a thorough re- form. The country is naturally fer tile and the farmers ought to be able

Price Traditions Smashed in the Process, and Bidders are Obtaining Stupendous Bargains at the Daily Auc- ton Sale.

The regret caused by inability to purchase a favorite bit of art--per- haps in ware or in other handiwork or sterling character, is often experienced by persons whose artistic ambitions are cirCLmscrihed by their paucity of purse.
 For years there have been tempta- tions to set prudence and rainy day tuJebodings aside in a tour of the de- lghtful rooms m the George H. Ford O, store, and many times the tempta- ten has been resisted with the com promise that the tempted one takes longing look at the forbidden fruit and departs in hope that some day, when his ship comes in, he may be able to buy the coveted treasure.
 The announcement of the auction sale of stock gave an impetus to past hesitancy and the visits were renewed, with renewed hope. Under these cir much as the company might deem it advisable to withhold from the sale it's best things, that withholding was impossible.
 Daily inquiries were made for this or that article of known excellence, ex- clusiveness and value and these in- quiries were coupled with requests that the chef d'oeuvre be cast in to the com mon lot to take it's auction chance,
 This has been done and at the daily sales a number of the very best pieces in stock are put under the hammer, and at the prices they are bringing are stu pendous bargains.
 The sale hours are daily: 1O:S0 to 2:30, 2:30 to 5:30.

I NFW BOSTON NOTION.

The latest Boston notion is interest,"
 ing Next Saturday in that city there
 will be a meeting of visitors and others connected with the Associated Chari-
 ties to consider new department of service to the poor. At that time pr. Samuel A. Hopkins will, by request, make some remarks on the desirability of providing means for affording to the poor relief from the ills that at tend upon bad condition of the teeth. It is said that there is not place in the country where person unable to pay fee can have the pain of tooth relieved or diseased teeth properly treated except at the dental schools, where practice work is done by stu dents. It is said that there is no den- tai school, nor public institution, that teeth of the poor. although there are specific endowments for relieving ail- of almost all other parts of the body.
 There is nothing that will make poor man feel poorer than the tooth- ache, and there is no doubt that there is much toothache among the poor that could be stopped by such plan as that proposed in Boston. The poor are already well looked after in Boston, and if they are going to have their teeth properly attended to they are in extra luck.

After practically living in his wifes tomb for nine years Jonathan Reed, of Williamsburg, New York, is ne ring the end of his own life. Mrs. Reed died in 1898 and was buried in a handsome tomb. The husband was then sixty years old and man of powerful phys ique, but nine years of strange devotion to his wife's memory has robbed him of his physical strength, and now his vii tality is steadily ebbing away. Day after day he went to the church yard and sat in the tomb from early morn ing until late in the evening. When he entered the tomb he always said: Good morning. Mary" just as he used to ad- dress his living wife, Friends and ac- quaintanoes for years endeayored to wean him back to the things of life, but he steadily rejected all such overtures, and for several years he has been al- lowed to cherish his sorrow without in- reference,

CASUALTIES AT HART'S RIVER
Beers and British Both Sustain Con-
siderable Losses.

PRETORIA, April 4.-The British losses
in the engagement in the neighborhood of
Hart's River, in the southwestern ex-
tremity Of the Transvaal, March 81, were
three officers and twenty-four men killed
and sixteen officers and l3l men wounded.
The Beers admit that they lost 1877 men
killed or wounded. The action occurred
at Doornbalt Farm, few miles south of
the scene of General Delarey's defeat of
General Methuen. The Beers who we're
commanded by General Kemp and Pot
gieter, attacked with great determination,
but the Canadian contingent, which was
the last to arrive in South Africa from
Canada, and two squadrons of yeomanry,
under Colonel Cookson, and the artillery
and mounted riffs under Colonel Keir,
presented such stout front that the bul-
ghers were finally forced to retreat.
The casualty list shows that the Second
Canadian Mounted Rifle had four officers
wounded, nine men killed and forty men
wounded
The South African casualty list issued
this evening shows that the losses sustained
by the Second Dragon Guards in their
rear guard action with the Beers near
Boschmanskop, during the evening of
March 81 were severe. Two officers were
killed, and FIVE we're wounded, and eigh-
teen men killed and fifty-eight wounded.

residue of his estate. They will divide
about 100000 pounds or 1900, 900
pounds among them. The amount is to
be divided during their life time, but as
each legaiee dies his share goes to a COM
mon fund until the surviving legatee be-
comes Its sole owner. Hence, one Of the
executors. the majority of whom are al
ready enormously wealthy will one day

cumulated into nearly 100000 pounds.
