church and those higher in Office,
he had nothing to rely upon except
the people, = povertystricken,
broken hearted peasants, standing
on soil stained with the blood of
their ancestors. 1t was commun-
ity trodden down by five centuries OF
oppression and robbed of every
acre of their native soil. In this
mass of weakness and oppression
his keen eye saw hidden the ele-
ments of union and strength.
With rarest skill he called them
forth and marshalled them into
line. Then we see this man with
out wealth or Office, in a land ruled
by both wealth and Office, mold
from these unsupported elements
power which overawed king,
senate and people, writing his will
on the statute books of the most
obstinate nation 81 Europe.
His chief object was to see his
country free and every man in it
lifted to the level of British citizen
ship. If we would study the history
of the reform bill of 1882, we would
find that it was mostly due to
O'Connell and his followers that
the people we're granted the ballot
under that act 1t is by no means
certain that the corn laws could
have been abolished without his
untiring efforts and the help ofhis
followers. He succeeded in doing
what many of his forerunners had
set out to do, but failed. [ may
be pardoned here for reading a few
lines from one of his by no means
partial biographers, who said:
"Any man who turns over the
pages of magazines and newspa-
pers of that period will easily per-
ceive how O'Connell's figure
dominated in politics, how COM
pletely he had dispelled the in
difference that SO long prevailed
on Irish questions, how clearly his
agitation stands forth as the great
fact of the time
The truth is, his position, SO far
from being a common one, is alb
solutely unique in history. We
may search in vain through the
records of the past for any man,
who without the effusion of drop
of blood, or the advantages of Of
fee or rank, succeeded in govern
ing a people so absolutely and SO
long, and in creating so entirely
the elements of his power. There
was no rival to his supremacy,
there was no restriction to his
authority. He played with the
enthusiasm he had aroused, with
the negligent ease of master; he
governed the complicated organic
alton he had created, with sagac-
ity that never failed. He trans
formed the whole social system of
Ireland, remodeled by his influence
the representative ecclesiastical
and educational institutions and
created a public opinion that sur
passed the widest dreams of his
predecessors. Therefore we can
not wonder at the proud exultation
with which he exclaimed: "Grattan
sat by the CRADLE of HE country
and also followed her hearse; it was
left for me to sound the resurrec-
ton trumpet, and to show that
she was not dead but only sleep
ing"
If we measure his limited means
with his vast success, always bear
ing in mind the strength and sagac-
ity of his opponents, then consider
his personal disinterestedness, his
fidelity to every cause his principles
covered, and the lofty generous
purpose of his whole life, we must
come to the conclusion that he
was, all things considered, the

is operated upon this same prin-
ciple.
Trevert describes the arc light
thus: eff two pieces of carbon are
joined by wires to the terminals of
powerful generator of electric
currents and are brought into con-
tact for moment and then drawn
apart to short distance, kind of
electric fame is produced between
the points of carbon and brilliant
light is emitted by the white hot
points of the cartoons. Before con-
tact the difference in potentially
between the points, is insufficient
for the current to leap across the
air space, therefore the cartoons
must be made to touch one another
before the current can be estab-
lished. On separating the carbons
the momentary extra current, due
to self-induction of the circuit,
which possesses high electromo-
tive force, can leap the short dis
lance, and in so doing volatilizes
small quantity of carbon between
the points. Carbon vapor being
partial conductor allows the cur
rent to continue to flow across the
gap, provided it is not too wide,
but as the carbon vapor has very
high resistance it becomes intense
ly heated by the passage OF the
current, and the carbon points
also grow hot. Since, however,
solid matter is a better radiator
than gaseous matter, the carbon
points emit far moro light than
the arc itself"
Professor Thomson Gays: 'The
vapor light proper, or fame light,
is comparatively very feeble and
of purple quality in air. Hence
the arc light is as truly an incan-
descent source of light as is the
incandescent carbon ilament. :"
Trevert sums up the whole as fol-
lows: ''Thus you see that the cleo
trio arc is simply the heated vapor
in the space between two cleo
trodes produced by a current OF
electricity leaping across it."
The mechanism for operating
an are lamp is very simple. Trevert
describes it thus: "The arc lamp
in general use consists simply Of
two hard carbon rods, one above
the other and mechanical contriv-
ance to feed them. It is necessary
that the mechanism should start
the arc by causing the pencils to
touch and then separate them to
the requisite distance for the pro-
duction of steady arc; it should
also cause the carbons to feed into
the arc as fast as they are con-
sumed. There are a great many
forms of arc lamps, but the one
in general use is the clutch lamp.
This is a simple device, consisting
of clutch to pick up the upper
carbon holder, the lower remain
ing fixed. The clutch is worked
by an electric magnet, through
which the current passes. If the
lamp goes out the magnet releases
the clutch and the upper carbon
falls of it's own weight and touches
the lower carbon. Instantly the
current starts round the electro
magnet, causing it to act on the
clutch, which grips the carbon
holder and raises it to the requisite
distance. When the arc grows too
long the lessening attraction on
the clutch permits the carbon
holder to advance"
You are all familiar with the ap-
pearance of the incandescent lamp.
The most important part OF it is
the carbonized loop within the
glass globe. Trevert describes the
loop thus: "The carbon loop is

on the anniversary of
that day to pay fitting
tribute to his memory, -one OF the
most eloquent men, one OF the
most devoted patriots, and the most
successful statesman which Ire
aand has given to history. We
of other races may we'll Join in
that tribute, since the cause OF
constitutional government owes
more to O'Connell than to any
other political leader of the last
two centuries. The English speak
ing race, to find his equal among
it's statesmen must pass by Glad
stone, Chatham and Walpole, and
go back to Oliver Crom we'll, or the
able men who supported the throne
of Queen Elizabeth. If to put the
civil and social elements of our
day into successful action, and
plant the seeds of continued
strength and progress for coming
times, if this is to be statesman,
then most emphatically O'Connell
was one. To secure this success
while all the means lie ready I'M
der your hand for instant use does
not rob such men as Colbert,
Chatham and Richelieu of their
title as statesmen; but to do it as
'O'Connell did, who had to dis
cover or invent his tools, while the
Imightiest forces that influence hu-
man affairs we're arrayed against
him, that is what ranks O'Connell
with the few mastery statesmen
the English speaking race has ever
had.
When Napoleon's soldiers
brought the negro chief Toussaint
L'Ouverture into exile he said:
"You think you have rooted up
the tree of liberty, but am only
a branch. [ have planted the tree
itself so deep that ages will never
root it up" And whatever may be
said of the social and industrial
conditions of Hayti during the
past hundred years, it's independ-
ence has never been successfully
assailed. O'Connell is the only
Irishman who can say as much of
Ireland. England successfully
maintained her place as the lead
ing nation of Europe from the
year 1713 until the fall of Napole-
on, while Ireland a comparatively
insignificant island lay at her feet,
weighing next to nothing in the
scale of English politics, her peo-
pie only mass of quarreling scots,
broken down spiritually and f.
nancially. It was this state of af-
fairs which confronted O'Connell
on the commencement of his car
reer. But with firm hand he
removed every obstacle and made
Ireland a nation whose first word
broke the iron will of Wellington,
removed Peel from the cabinet
and gave the government to the
Wings. He created a new Ma
tionality and lifted Ireland to a
fixed and permanent place in Eng
lish affairs, demanding it's just
dues, instead of begging for per.
mission to live.
This is the proper standpoint
from which to look at O'Connell's
work. It does not rank him with
founders of states like Alexander
Caesar, Bismarck or Napoleon
but with men who, without arms
by force of reason, have revolu.
tionized their time, like Jefferson
Mazzini, Garrison and Franklin.
It was at the saddest moment Of
Irish history when O'Connell, 6

TO HAVE
LINEN
MILL
Machinery and Plant viii
Cost 100000

A special telegram from Salem
Thursday says;
II is an established fact that Salem
is to have linen mill in the course
of year or two. and Eugene Bosse is
making all Of the necessary preliInin.
airy preparations leading up to that
point. The capitalist who is behind
MIR. Bosse in the project is rather i'm.
patient, and desires to install the
plant as soon as possible, but
Mr.. Bosse is inclined TO take matters
more cody and philosophically, and
build up the flax-raising industry to
the point which would guarantee the
support of finen factory from one
years end to another.
with the linen mill in view, how.
ever, Mr. Bosse some time ago sent for
a catalogue and price list Of machinery
necessary to equip plant, and these
he received only day or two ago.
The mill which will be put in at Sa.
lem will have capacity Of two tons
of fiber per day. Two tons OF 0ber,
or 1000 pounds. is capable of making
1900 yards of linen. The cost Of the
machinery for equipping a mill Of this
size. excluding the freight Charges
and the duty, as 1t will have to be i'm.
ported from an English mandatory,
viii be not less than SEQ 900, and to
erect and equip a mill Of two-ton ca.
pacity,\ II will require an expenditure
Of at least $4,000, aside from at least
six scutching or fiber mills, which will
be necessary to supply a linen mill OF
this size with sufficient fiber to keep
Il in continuous operation and handle
all the fax produced, which will cost
about $4,000 each. making the total
cost of establishing the industry hero
in the neighborhood of 100000.
This is very small showing, how.
ever, in comparison TO the linen mills
Of the foreign countries. where, In
many OF the large cities, such as Bel
fast, Reiger and two or three other
cities in England, Ireland and Belgi-
um, where the fax industry is quite
extensively developed, mills are in op-
GRAFTON that have a capacity of Is tons
of fiber per day.
