From Northland realms come snow and

Where pleasant chimes and peoples are
Ger oceans broad and deserts vast,
But leave me safely home at last.

Emmett and Ireland.

To-day is the anniversary Of the
birth of Robert Emmett in 177S, and Irish
men throughout the world will do honor
to his memory. In September will occur
the centenary of his execution in Dublin
for high treason.
Representing the hopes and aspirations
of Young Ireland, and burning with in
dignationr over the centuries of GROSS in
Justice and cruelty with which the Irish
people had been treated, this rarely gifted
and patriotic young man rashly' headed
an attempt to start a general Irish revo-
luton with a handful of followers who
were quickly dispersed by the British
troops, and, had it not been for his de-
termination to bid adieu to the daughter
of Curran whom he loved, Emmett might
have escaped to Paris. He died after
making a speech before Lord Nofbury
and his associates in the session house,
Dublin, of such SURPRISING and incisive
elcquence that it thrills the, hearts of
living Irishmen wherever it is recited.
Emmett met his death with the firm be-
lief that Ireland would take her place one
iroependent power vindicating the claims
of her patriot sons Of ADEQUATE ability
to assume all the responsibilities incident
to such independence. The national idea
has fingered in the hearts of Irishmen
and persistent agitation on their part
has broken the rod of the oppressor who,
since Emmet's death, has been compelled
| to make concessions. like the, Catholic
En- ancipation Act, which permitted Irish
men adhering to the faith of their fathers
to have seats in the English parliament,
where their pleas for justice could be
more conspicuousy made. That repre-
sentation in parliament has, step by step,
| through the O'Connel and Parnell phases
of agitation and the ,unyielding agitation
of the last ten years, brought about bet
tern: ents for Ireland in selectoral privi-
leges, relief from unjust taxation by the
disestablishmeht Of the Irish Episcopal
church, increased opportunities for ten
! ants to purchase land. and broader edit
cational privileges. It has brought about
the present proposed composition of the
century-1ong landlord tenant dispute
which has engendered lawlessness on the
part of the Irish and outrageous repres-
sive measures on the part Of the govern
ment, which has from the twelfth century
treated Ireland after the Russian methods
| in Poland, so that it has been well sait
4 that the history of Ireland may be found
4 written in the statute books Of England
i Irishmen have reason to look with in
terest upon the present session Of tn,
i British parliament, which will decide
81 whether there shall be peace in Irelan,
or continuance Of repression and vic
lence. The plan for government purchas
of landlords estates and reselling TIL
i land to the people has been approved b,
landlords and tenants, and is recon-
nended by the English secretary for Ire
}. land It involves the expenditure Of Z;

feels 40 and is so isn't going to be an idler
the rest of his days simply because some
body with. thirst for young blood in
business has fixed an age limit.
Age cannat be a matter of years alone:.
1t is a matter Of cQrrectli living, of tempera-
ment; yes, OF determination. p.
There are old men at 80 and young men
at 70. There are grandfathers who can
endure more and do better work than their
grandsons - azs .',s-...s

Admiral Crowninshield, the choice snob
of the navy, has resigned 1t is good for for
the navy to get rid Of him, but it is too
bad to think of the government having 70
continliie to pay him s5,625 a year on the
retired list. But even at that, his rid
dance is cheap. There is no place in
the American navy for an admiral who
takes offense because he can't have a
splendid battleship for ordinary cruising
duty, especially when such use of a bat
tleship is in conflict with the depart
ment's regular plan for disposition of the
battleships., o.. -,.--.

: From memorandum submitted by; Sen
ator Wilson it appears that there as no
doubt that his railway gross earnings tax
alton bin is both state and nationally con-

Representative Shearer of Hennepin yes
terday introduced still another gross earn
ings bill which is designed to supersede
the Johnson and Fryberger7 bills. It
adopts the method of computation of gross
earnings revenue now in practice, and
provides, of course, for the raising of the
rate from to 4 per cent. The Shearer
bill is probably the most conservative
measure. so far introduced on this subject
A commemorate feature is that pending
the result of litigation, that may arise
in the event Of the railway companies
taking the law into the courts, they shall

the financial embarrassment that would
arise from loss of revenue during litiga-

However reasonable may be the Fry

earnings taxes are paid, it is not expedi-

an Increase of the rate of railway taxa

The immigration Law.

The immigration bill just passed by
congress omits the most important feature
of the law as originally proposed by the
immigration Restriction League, viz, the
exclusion of immigrants who are not able
to read and write in some language While
we have advocated the measure as drawn
at first, we are not sure that its defeat is
an unmixed calamity ,,5:s % &,
From our experience in America we are
apt to regard the class of the illiterate
and of the unworthy as cOincident, or
rather than the latter includes the former,
for education is no bar against crime, and
no insurer Of sound morals or worth to the
community. But this is not true in Ger.
tain countries in Europe, where there are
large numbers Of illiterate persons who are
yet. of sound bodies, strong minds and
good morals, persons Of the unskilled labor
class for whom there is an endless de-
mand in this country with little native

a French scientist accounts for the
fact that snakes are seen by those suffer

'"The minute blood vessels in the retina
of their eyes are congested. In this
condition they appear black and are pro-
jected into the field Of .vision, where their
movements resemble the squirmins OF
