HOME RULE AN ISSUE.

Whatever doubt there may have
been as to what the attitude of the
Irish party in Parliament would be
since the passage Of the Wyndham
land act has been cleared by the an
nOuncements of it's leaders since the
converting of Parliament If the Bal
four government expected the Irish
support on the basis of the land pur-
chase act it has been greatly disap-
pointed. Englishmen and unfortu-
nntcly some Irishmen assumed to be-
monte trouble would remove the Irish
demand for political reform. Tile
enemies of the Irish Parliamentary
program asserte! that the land act
killed Home Rule. Mr.. Redmond, in
his first statement in the Commons.
said it is plain that no concession short
of Home Rule will meet the demands
of the Irish. They cannot be quoted
with promises of Il Catholic university
for Ireland. much s that is desired
They cannot hr III rtcd from their
one ultimate and immediate aim by
the introduction of Il new fiscal policy
as the leading issue about which the
English parties have divided. Their
policy in the next general election
can be fOretold. 1t will be to- exert
their influence in every English con-
stituency where there are Irish votes
in favor of that candidate of one of
the English parties which is in favor
of Home Rule. In Il recent election
in the English district of Gateshead
the Chamberlain candidate was Lord
Morpeth and the regular Liberal candi-
date was Il Mr.. John johnson. Gates
head is an Important English manufac-
has a large Irish population. Cham
berlain expected his candidate to sue
coed, as he has claimed that his views
would be particularly strong in the
manufacturing centers. Chamberlain
tried to continue the issue to the tariff
but there was another issue injected
into the fight by the Irish Parliament
airy party. The Tory candidate was op-
posed to home rule for Ireland while
the Liberal candidate pledged himself
to support it. Mr.. Joseph Devlin,
whom many of our readers remember
as. the brilliant young member of
Parliament who toured this country
II year ago in the interests of the Irish
cause, was sent as the representative
of the Irish party to Gateshead. He
organized the Irish electorate of that
constituency in favor of the Liberal
candidate. There are 1000 Irish
voters in the Gateshead district. The
result of the election was the success
of the Home Ruler by over 1900 ma
,ority. The Englishmen of Gateshead
We're voting for or against n tariff
change, but the Irishmen were voting
on another proposition, on which they
views. English leaders may say Home
Rule is dead or some, like the Duke
of Devonshire, may say that there is
not room in English politics for two
great issues like the tariff and Home
Rule at the same time. but the Irish
will make room for them. The Eng
fish parties may divide on the tariff
question, but when either of the par
ties ask the Irish to vote upon this
issue the question will at once be
asked by the Irish, "What do you in
tend to do about Home Rule?' 1t will
not answer to say let us settle the
tariff first. The moment either of the
English parties depends upon the
Irish vote in Parliament to prolong
its power, that moment the Irish will

The press continues to inform us
that the Republicans of Indiana are
badly split up, and that there is an
overwhelming Hanna sentiment in
that state. There are always two fac
tons of Indiana Republicans where
the Republican party is in power, one
faction consists of those Republicans
who are in Office, the other faction in
cludes those who want to get Office
which in Indiana means all other Re-
publicans. This accounts for the
strong Hanna sentiment.

Failure to Return Borrowed Wagon
Gets Man Into Trouble.

Ut the municipal court Thursday
forenoon, Judge Andrews was called
upon to administer justice in a larceny
case, which grew out of the borrow
ing" Of Il wagon. by Robert Henry of
Chelsea, from Geo. II. Fisher of this
city, who lives out on the Belgrade
road. The trouble began. last Friday
when Henry. who had been up in the
country, called at Mr.. Fishers house
and requested the loan of wagon.
Henry had his horse hitched into
sled. and as the going was rather hard
tor runners, he wanted the wagon to
get home with. Mir. Fisher let him
have the wagon, supposing. of course,
that the rnan would return it within a
day or two, at amy rate. But things
did lot turn out that way. The wagon
was not brought back, and when, sew
eral days later. search was made for
it. some time elapsed before any trace
of it WAS secured. Wednesday,
however, the missing vehicle was To-
Gated at Henry's place. in Chelsea. and
Wednesday night Henry was arrested
by Night Officer White. and brought
into the city. on a warrant for larceny.
When he was brought into court. yes
terday forenoon, lie could not seem to
offer any very satisfactory explana-
ton for his conduct, and from the ma
turc of the evidence that was forth
coming. the court decided to hold him
in the sum of $1G0 for appearance at
the January term of the Superior court
Henry could MOI furnish bail, and was
committed.

"The Sleeping Beauty and the Beast"

The Drury Lane spectacle, "Ihe
Sleeping Beauty and the Beast" bears
the distinction of having scored Il new
record for attendance and receipts both
for this country and Europe. 1t was
presented two hundred and fOrty-six
times scoring a period of thirty weeks
to financial results. which aggregated
over $14O,0CO.U0 and an attendance ex>
ceedng 100000 people. This success
was tlattering to the management as it
was the first time Il purely spectacular
production of this kind met with re-
Spouse in New York. 1t has been at
tributed by many to the fact that it is
entirely American as regards 'buSi-
ness" east. music and dialogue. Only
tie scenery. costumes and properties
from the Drury Lane were utilized.
over five hundred people We're en-
nloyed in its presentation. The daily
expenses for the company alone ire
spective of theatre. averaged $1,000
daily or 5000 a week. The very last
week of the engagement brought re-
ceipts of $4,000 in spite of the fact
that it was the last of May. The cast
of The Sleeping Beauty and the
Beast will undergo very slight changes
this season. The production is in every
detail just what it is represented to be
and even more, for no matter to what
