What Grattan's Parliament Did.

Mr.. George Wyndham, chief secretary for Ire
land, in his reply to Mr.. Redmond in the British
parliament airily announced judgment on Grattan's
parliament failure. Mr.. Isaac Butt, who knew
more about Grattant parliament than probably Mr..
Wyndham knows about anything, was of different
opinion, Speaking i'll the house of commons ON
the 3Oth OF June 1874, he said: What did the
Irish parliament accomplish? 1t wrung from tbe
privy council of England an act for shortening the
duration of parliament to eight years; it admitted
Roman Catholics TO the franchise; it repealed the
penal laws it opened the Dublin university to Cath
ohcs more than half century before they were
admitted to any English university, and he believed
that II It's course had not been interrupted it would
have settled the question of Catholic emancinaton
and others of vital Importance with results very diff

succeed himself.
Senator Hanna thus in writing put himself ON

own candidacy against President Roosevelt
In return for this information. the president
was Informed of the singular DEVELOPMENT which
took place within day two of the senator's
death demonstrating his personal loyalty to the
president and probably indicating what would have
been his action in the Republican national conven-

political good faith of Senator Hanna and as such

A STRIKE is REAL WARFARE.

tmidation and violence. Ia Pennsylvania we lis
tened 10 over 500 witnesses. There was great deal
of violence. Towns were in state of terror. What
can the strikers do but put out pickets, and that
leads to intimidation.
The right of labor is fundamental. Mitchell
and Gompers and other great labor leaders admit
that intimidation beyond persuasion is wrong Yet
has professional strike breaker the right to come
and work simply to destroy the hope honest men
have Of getting fair wages! The men forced

New York Philadelphia and the militia and the
troops protect them that honest labor may be de-
feated. This is great evil.
