ences which. working together, can
under the present system prevent par
tisan results; these are the bar and
the press. Lawyers as a rule may
be depended upon to work and vote
for the best judicial timber irrespec-
tive of politics, because it is particu-
larly to every lawyers interest to
have honest, Independent and capable
judges. What will the press do about
the matter? Will the Tribune advocate
the nomination and election of Judges
Brooks and Pond? Or will it advocate
the election of the whole republican
ticket on the broad ground that any
republican is better than democrat?
The Tribune has made Il good start

Wood, over the heads of nearly 500
veteran officers, and then to cap the
climax, the petty, mean attitude
toward General Miles on his retire
ment. Roosevelt has been Il preacher
i'll favor Of men who do things, yet
he allowed the greatest living soldier
to retire from the army after con-
tinuous service Of over fOrty-two
years without even Il farewell, while
he twists every occasion in order to
get an opportunity to praise person
al friend whose military accomplish
ments are as abbreviated as those of
the president himself. On the negro
question the president took his usual
spectacular method of impressing up
on the country that actual merit was
the only test to be applied to the pub
lie service, even emphasizing his atti-
tude by dining with Il negro. This
the people called bravery on the part
of the president; and although Il ma
jority of white people, both North
and South would not care to live with
the negro, yet they considered the ac-
ton of the president a high compli-
ment to the spirit of our laws. Later
on, when negroes We're being lynched
in states presided over by republican
governors, the president did nothing
until IL governor of one of those states
took steps to prevent further trouble
and then the president gave to the
press another pronunciamento. Con-
sidering the presidents speeches and
his actions, or lack of action, we find
that. instead Of being a person who
does things, he is pre-eminently
Il person who says things and does
nothing. This may account for his
waning popularity.

CHANGE IN Sentiment.

The great difference between the
professions and acts of President
Roosevelt is becoming more marked
and apparent as time goes on. year
ago there was scarcely an intelligent
man in the country who doubted that
Roosevelt would he renominated with
out opposition and elected by IL great
majority. To-day there are many
opposition for the nomination and
that his election is by no means as
sured What has caused the change?
Well, to use Il slang phrase the presi-
dent has made Il great many people
tired. They have tired of hearing and
reaching about "Strenuousness." Not-
ers have been accustomed in this
country to consider measures. The
idea of Il president going from city to
city all over the country and preach
ing "strenuosity" and might was
engaging for II time. \ man who told
the people he believed in doing
things" met their approval although
they were convinced that lie had
done some things that he ought not
to have done. n man who preached
personal and civic honesty as the best
| virtue next to strenu0uSness could
| easily he excused even. if he did not
| have any definite knowledge as to
what ought to he done about the tariff.
| The people were sure that Il man who
preached honesty in public as well as
private life. and also preached the
great gospel of action. was Il pretty
good sort of man to have ut Washing
ton. While the president was thus
preaching in the country west of the
Mississippi river, the press brought
the report of postal frauds. The loyal
people said, wait till Teddy gets
back to Washington" They knew he
believed in honesty. Just as all good
men do: they believed he was Il man
who did things. because he told them
so. The people We're somewhat sur,

How long will the American people
endure the disgraceful attitude of our

England? We have actually gone SO
far in our crawling toward the Eng,

to characterize our acts as jokes.
Harper'S Weekly has the following

one day there would he statue of

ever. has deemed it needful to explain
that the American ambassador was
merely perpetrating Il joke. and that
there is no occasion for the LOyalistS
of the Province of Ontario to work
themselves into Il fury of Indignation
and sign Il petition to the authorities
of Westminster Abbey protesting
against what they describe as pro-
pOsal to erect monument to
George Washington in Great Britain's

lists declare that the erection of IL
statue to George Washington in the
British metropolis would be regarded
in Canada as Il condemnation of the
sentiment of loyalty to Great Britain.
They opine that a statue to Sir John
Macdonald would be more appropriate
The Saturday Review would he as

might just as WE'LL says the Review,

iSed. or to one of the Irish boys of

The Chicago Citizen in an editorial
in this weeks issue relative to the
Irish Land Bill says that the bonus
of SGO.O0O,OOO is money we'll spent in
getting rid of the majority of the Irish
landlords. The Citizen admits, as do
all friends of Ireland. that the bill is
not perfection, but recognizes the fact
that social revolution has been eff
fected by it's passage and that the
Irish people have been saved from
determination in their own country
Friends of Ireland may dismiss the
criticisms of the measure as the Citi-
zen does in the following language:
"Iet the critics split hairs, let the par
simonious lament the tribute to the
tyrant landlords. which had become a
vital necessity. like Frances tribute

BETTER DAYS For IRELAND.

NOW Ullat the Lana Hlll is passed the
world will look for better days for Ire
land. 1t will take long years for that
brought about by industrial persecution.
Rut the Irish may reasonably be eX-
pected to take advantage of the opp0r-
tunity now afforded to become the OWL
ers of the soil. The old cry IRELAND
for the Irish" now seems possible of
accomplishment. The enemies of Ire
land would be glad to see the new
measure Il failure. They would then
rciteratc the old charges about the in
capacity of the Irish people. The land
bill is not a cure for all the ills from
which the Irish suffer. 1t will not
satisfy Irish aspirations. Irish pat
riots will still agitatc for further re-
forms. But friends Of the Irish peo-
pie do expect that Industrial conditions
in Ireland will now improve. We are
not of the number who doubt the alil-
ity of the Irish race. If the new
measure is what we understand it to
he, we may confidently count upon an
Ireland covered by comfortable and
cultured homes. We do cXepect that
it will he no longer necessary for the
young men and women of Ireland to
emigl1,te in order to secure homes for
themselves. In the past the Irish
have succeeded in every land except
their own. This fact alone contlslverts
the many charges which the enemies
Of Ireland have made. 1t has been
said that the Irish are improvident.
Their industrial success in America,
and Australia prove the falsty of the
charge. AS wage Garner the Irish
man is uneXcelled We have only
to note the number of Irish in the
United States engaged in the skilled
trades and in pursuits where Il high de,
| cree Of intelligence is required. as in
the advanced positions in rlilroadins
to fully refute the charge of improv
idencc. The poverty of Ireland has
been charged to intemperance. But
! statistics show that less liquor is con
sumed per capita in Ireland than il
England or Scotland. Again it la.

Ireland have been to blame. Not onl,
are the political conditions in Irelant
