OUT OF POLITICS.
While the league holds itself rlgldly
alool from politics its existence proved
almost fatal to the government during
the present session of parliament, At
the behest Of the league Irish meme
bers divided the house Of commons on
the question of educational expenditure

THE IRISH LANGUAGE
The Irish language has been spoken
for over 1000 years. and was finished
speech before any OF the modern Euro
pean tongues We're lisped. 1t has an eX-
tensiye vocabulary Of some $1,000 words
and Is especially adapted to the forma-

"Irlshing" foreign elements. The claim
is made for II that in lngulstical value

AWAKENING TO ONE FACT.
The Irish people are awakening to the
fact that the salvation of Ireland can
not be attained by political agitation,
whether revolutionary or constitution

in this city that bears his name, the
public library and the Christian church
in his own city are shining monuments
to his public spirit and generosity.
Governor Drake was not great
man, judged by the standards Of Jeffer-
son, Webster, Seward and Douglas;
but he was great in the qualities that
made Jackson, Lincoln and our own
beloved governor Kirkwood great. He
was great commoner. He was great
in honesty, integrity, and native COM
mon sense. He had no use for red
tape or diplomacy, his language was
always plain, blunt and to the point.
He belonged to the old fashioned
school of statesmen, the school of Jack
son, Lincoln and Kirkwood, the school
that originated with the people, by the
people, and for the people.
General Drake died peacefully at his
home, among his friends and loved
ones, mourned by the entire commun-
ity in which he lived. AS stood by
his open grave on that bleak, Novem-
Der day, and saw his old comrades
with faces wrinkled and bronzed, their
cheeks bathed In tears paying their last
sad rites to their old commander, |
could but ask: "Oh, death where Is
thy sting! Oh. grave where is thy vic.
tory!
He has fought the good fight, he has
finished the course; he has answered
the last roll call, he has been summon
ed above by the Grand Commander of
the Universe, he is tenting today in
that celestial camp ground, not made
by hands, eternal in the skies.

Reports Today.

Des Moines. April IS. - (SpeciaI.;--.
me feeling apparent among the min.
ers and the operators here at noon to-
aay gives every Indication that a set
tlement may be effected before the
close OF the week. 1t is evident, as
stated yesterday that such settlement
VIII be possible only after concessions
nave been made by both sides. All
yesterday and this morning was taken
up Dy the miners and the operators in
separate committee meetings and eau
cuses held for the purpose Of decid.
ing what concessions they should
make.
Drop Powder Question.
It is known today that the miners
have decided to drop the demand for 4
reduction In the price Of powder from
So to $1.75. The operators contend
that during the past years, with the
changing market conditions and the
changing mining prices the cost of
powder to the miners has remained the
same, hence this question has now
been dropped.
Outside Day Wage Scale.
The point which has been mostly
discussed and might be considered the
nub OF the differences. is that of the
outside day wage SCALE The operators
at IL o'clock today decided to accept
the proposition of the miners on this
point. It provides for the adoption of
minimum wage for outside day la
borers Of $1.SO to be effective for two
years. According to this proposition
all outside day laborers now receiving
wages reduced 5.55 per cent, but this
shall operate 40 that no outside day
laborer shall receive lessfs than $3.50
Il per day. This proposition Is made to
the operators by the miners, who for
the past five years, have ATTEMPTED to
gey'a uniform day wage scaiiSs u, s->sh-
out the state. They have Hecff5s, -S,l I.
make this concession because Of tha
fact that otherwise concessions would
be made by the miners of the first and
| fourth sub districts.
Nest This Afternoon.
4 This afternoon the members Of the
| joint scale committee will meet to hear
| the reports of the committees and eau
cuses and with this question OF the day
wage eliminated as an issue the way
| to settlement is materially cleared.
4 Two questions are now before the
committee for settlement, that Of a
uniform eight-hour day for engineers,
! and a question which affects only
the mines at Frazier. 1t Is probable
that the latter will be referred to g.
special committee for settlement with
in the next month. SO that this will not
delay the effecting Of an agreement.
The question of a uniform eight hour
day for the engineers affects only the
smaller mines and it is possible that
the final settlement of this question
will be left to the local representatives
as has been done in the past.
\ Refer to Sub committee.
4 This afternoon an effort will be made
to refer all questions now before the
joint committee to sub committee for
lsettlement. This is looked upon by
! both sides as a move in the interest Of
AN early settlement inasmuch as 1t will
leave the questions at issue to much
smaller body of men.
