The Victory Of the Irish People.

The casual Observer of British pol
itics has perhaps wondered at the
cessation Of the great Irish home rule
agitation, and has doubtless ascribed
it to the death of Parnell, to the quar-
rels Of Irish leaders, or to almost any
cause but the right one. AS "a matter
of fact the great cause for which the
Irish people have fought in various
ways ever since Cromwell's time has
been won; the work is practically
finished. Ireland has not Parlia-
ment of her own, nor is there an
Irish independent nation, nor will
either of these things ever be. But

treasury of the Vandalia Railroad.
The original charter special one
granted to that road, contained pro-
vision that caused claim to be made
by the State that portion Of its net
earnings should be paid into the
school fund. In 1873 the special char
ter was surrendered and the company
was reincorporated under the general
railroad law. Two years later an in
effecturl attempt was made b7 the
State to collect the share of the CON-
pany's earnings which it claimed to
belong to it. In 1897 an act was pas
sed by the legislature which suthor-
lied the Attorney General, Mr.. Ket-
cham, to bring the action which, by
the decision of the United States Su-
preme court, has been finally deter
mined. The State courts had adjud-
ged that the railroad company owed

years. Our school fund is short a
