7 IRELAND is on the eve OF another
great ag-arian agitation. The last
a land act was a half measure, and,
like all half measures applied TO
Irish affairs by the English parliament.
II has failed. SO Irishmen are girding
themselves for a great and final battle
sEainst landlordism.
The last land act provided for a system
of voluntary purchase, where the land
lord agreed to sell the tenant may buy,
and the government VIII advance the
money. 20 be repaid IN yearly INSTALL
men,s with interest. A few landlords
have sold out to their tenants under the
act. but the great majority demand
such high price that the tenants are
unwilling to purchase. To force the land
lords to sell for reasonable sum is the
object Of the new agitation.
A Difference of View.
Everything depends on what IS called
''the number OF years purchase" that
IS how many years rent paid IN a
lump sum should be considered a proper
price for the land. The landlords say

Colonel Strap and Doctor Hope were
making the race for Congress in one Of
the Southern States. Doctor Hope
charged that his opponent was incom-
petent, that he could not, as The records

correctly. When Colonel Strap got his

with the prospect OF eventually owning
his place free OF all incumbrance.
Effect Is Revolutionary.
The result Of even a single arrange
ment OF this kind in any neighborhood
IS simply revolutionary. The fortunate
occupier OF the farm who IS rapidly
becoming an owner by paying only ss5
year Is surrounded by others who are
paying three times as much In rent for
identical farms without the least pros
pect OF ownership. A much less I'M
presslonable person than the Irish peas
ant would be stirred TO the depths OF
his being by such a spectacle.
In practice all the surrounding tenant
farmers appeal to their landlords to sell
out Some Of the landlords refuse.
while others demand twenty-five TO
twenty-seven years purchase Then
comes the Irishman's weapons-boycott
and agitation. On top OF these, 70 secure
solidarity among the tenants. IS not a
little coercion. The farmer who offers
TO pay more than eighteen years pur-
chase is black sheep among his fell

north. The United Irish League. sue.

the walls notifying patriotic Irishnen
not to attend the sale and on no ac-
count to buy unless they wish to i'm
peril their present peace and future sal

failures.
Campaign Must Succeed.
Active members Of the United Irish
League say that the present campaign
must succeed. Sooner or later England
always yields 20 agitation when II seSs
strong enough to threaten the internal
peace of the country. Land acts up 20
this time have only been makeshifts
and were doomed to failure. The only
way to get peace in Ireland is to compel
the landlords to sell at reasOHab BILE
rate. The tenants will then buy them
out, and new and prosperous Ireland
will arise from the ashes OF the old.
A great deal has been said by the
newspapers In England lately abOut the
now contentment and prosperity in Ire
land. IL does not. however, take much
investigation to disprOve these asser-
tons In few districts things have i'm
proved. but through the south and west

deemed intolerable in any American

where friends awaited his coming to
proclaim him a hero. His case did not

it did engage the attention Of the high

watched with interest as a unique cause
in international law.

Taken With Cramps.

VIM. Kirmse, a memb Der of the
bridge gang working near Little
port was taken suddenly i'll
Thursday night with cramps and
a kind of cholera. His case was
so severe that he had to have the
members of the crew wait upon
him and Mr.. Clifford was called
and consulted. He told them he
had a medicine in the form of
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy that he
thought would help him out and
accordingly several doses were
administered with the result that
the fellow was able to be around
next day. The incident speaks
quite highly Of Mr.. Clifford S

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a blood or constitu-
tional disease, and in order to
cure it you must take internal
remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, land acts directly
onthe blood and mucous surfaces.
Halls Catarrh Cure is not a q uack
medicine. It was prescribed by
one Of the best physicians in this
country for years and is a regu-
lar prescription. It is composed
of the best tonics known, COM
bined with the best blood puri-
fers, acting directly on the muc-
Gus surfaces. The perfect com
bination of the two ingredients is
what produces such wonder re.
suits in curing Catarrh. Send for

Division May Be Moved. (

A rumor that the division head
quarters of the Great Northern
may be moved from Melrose to
Sank Centre is current but lacks
confirmation. The Office building
in Melrose was burned short
time ago and it was then rumored
that when it was rebuilt it would
be at Sank Centre. The Bemidji
branch has its terminus at Sank
Centre. Melrose is Situated at
about the right distance from St.
Paul for division headquarters.
but as the distance between the
two towns is only ten miles the
matter of distance from st. Paul
might be easily overbalanced by
