THE VICTORY OF THE IRISH PEOPLE:

The casual observer of British politics has
perhaps wondered at the cessation Of the
great Irish home rule agitation, and has
doubtless ascribed il to the death of Parnell,
to the quarrels of Irish leaders or to al
most any cause but the right one. AS
matter of fact the great cause for which
the Irish people have fought in various
won; the work is practically finished. Ire
land has not Parliament of her own, ror
is there an Irish independent nation, nor
Will either of these things ever be. But the
curse of alien landlordsm has been given
its death blow, Ireland has local self-gov-
ernment through elective county councils.
just as has England, and Ireland has rep
resentation in the British Parliament, just
as have Scotland and other integral parts
of the United Kingdom.
Beginning with the land act of 1881, vari-
Gus enactments of Parliament have granted
state credits amounting to 155.oco0 900 pounds
sterling to enable the tenant peasantry of
ireland to buy the land: have arranged for
arrears in rent; have eliminated the evils
of evictions and provided for modified forms
of leases, and have given local autonomy
In all county affairs. That these reforms
have proven efficient is demonstrated in
part by the cessation of the Irish agitation
but much more emphaticaliy by the sudden
falling off in Irish emigration. Even the
United States. where there are innumerable
Irishmen. whose prosperity naturally serves
as a great lodestone upon their relatives at
home. gets very little Irish immigration
these days.
How much this victory for the Irish people
has been due TO the superb organization
built up by Parnell, Davitt and their asso-
ciates, and how much IL is due to an acces-
sion of common sense and political wisdom
and greater religious tolerance on the part
of the English people and their leaders, 1t
is difficult To say Many elements have
contributed 10 the change. and the main

ECHOES OF THE POPE's RECENT
MISTAKE.

The Pope must realize by this time that
he made a very serious mistake In issuing
his recent protest against the visit of Pres
ident Lcubet to Rome. Accustomed to the
quiet of a provincial life. to regarding
church questions from a purely academic
point of view. and without any experience
in statecraft or diplomacy. the Pope did
not realize the probable consequences of
paper which was sure TO offend at least
two governments and bring upon him criti-
cism from many quarters.
The report of the debate the subject
in the French Chamber a few days ago
showed there was no disposition the
part OF the government to return the
French ambassador to the vatican-in fact
a determination to the contrary-and the
Chamber would even have supported the
government in abolishing the concordat.
thereby declaring a complete separation OF
church and state if it had chosen to go so
far. This question was postponed for fu-
ture consideration.
The debate in the Italian Chamber on
Monday was even more exciting and per-
sonal towards the Pope. One member
characterized the Popes protest ian in
suit to the King and declaration of
war; against Italy. Another said: This
time the Vatican is not protesting, but
bleating." when another member exclaimed
Call it traying." OF course. these ex-
pressions came from Liberals and Radicals.
but they represent phase of public opin-
ion. The Premier poured oil on the waters
by explaining that the offensive note had
not been addressed to the Italian govern
ment, that France had answered 1t as she
thought best, and 1t was not for Italy to
interfere in the matter. THE note he
said, contained a phrase regarding the
King of Italy, but the effect produced was
the expression of that phrase. it had
offered Premier Combes the opportunity to
make a statement so fiattering to italian
patriotism" This was fine turn. 1t set
the galleries to cheering for the French
premier and gave Premier Giolitti a chance
to further allay the excitement by declar-
ing that Italy was abundantly able to
protect herself against ecclesiastical inf1u-
ence, and would do so. 1T will be worse
for the church." he said. Ion the day that
she illegally interferes with the affairs of
the state
Probably the Pope does not contemplate
anything of the kind. but his recent note
| showed a spirit that will put the Italian
government on the alert to prevent any
steps in that direction. The Pope's mis-
! take will become historic.
