A new law in Mississippi makes it a
misdemeanor to do political work for
candidates for money. Such a law would
be Of much benefit to other states.
Purer politics would not hurt this
country and besides it would greatly
reduce the cost of campaigns.

Wabasha, Minn.-About year ago
Edward Drury sold one-half of his
farm, in this city, for $S,OO0 This
week he sold the other half to Mr.. j.
e. Brown for $1,000. This makes
$4,000 in all. Mr.. Drury retains pos
session until September. At that time
he will start out for a new home, pos
sibly in the Emerald Isle, close to the
scenes Of his boyhood, not far from
Killarney Here he may purchase the
ancestral, Uncovered castle, which
was the wonder and admiration of his
youth, with it's large estates, it's lakes
and forests. And should he acquire
this estate, what more natural than
that he should try for a seat in parlia-
ment, in which body he would be quite
an acquisition to the Irish members,
he having kept in touch with parlia-
mentary dOings during all the years
of his residence in this country, and
being equipped with the experience
gained during couple Of terms that
he spent in the Minnesota legislature.
Although the matter has not, as vet,
been fully decided on, the chances are
that a castle in Ireland and seat in
parliament are the things that are in
store for Mr. Drury.

1t was at Dublin in October, 1879,
that what had been local land
league in County Mayo was transform
cd into the Land League Of Ireland
under the headship of Charles Stewart
Parncll. Within two years thereafter
the British parliament passed the land
act of 1881, which completely revol,,-
tionized the system of land tenure
that for over two centuries had been
upheld by English rule in Ireland.
This measure was followed by an ar.
rears act, which sanctioned breach
Of contract in such rents as by their
conditions were oppressive to agricui-
tural tenants; and by the laborers'
dwellings act, embodying tentative
application Of the principle of state
socialism. Then came almost stimuli
tancously the conversion, on the one
hand, of Mr.. Gladstone and of the
British Liberal party from the trad-
tional mode Of ruling Ireland by coer-
cion administered. through Dublin
castle, to the advocacy of a written
constitution which would confer
home rule government upon the Irish
people; and, on the other hand, the

Michael Davitt is we'll equipped for
the task which he has undertaken in
the volume entitled ",rhc Fall of

book requires and receives a subtitle
to define clearly the scope of the
authors purpose. In the first hundred
pages he presents an outline of Ire
lands political and social history from
the time of Oliver Cromwell to the
advent of Charles Stewart Parnell on
the scene. But more than six-sevenths
of the space at his disposal is allotted
to the story of the Land League rcvo-
luton. For Il lucid, authoritative and

although the narrative is pcnned from
the viewpoint of Il devoted patriot, it
is distinguished by Il display of OPEN
mindedncss and justice toward poiti-
cal opponents that is rare in controver-
sial or even in quasi-historical books
about Irish affairs. We should add
that Mr.. Davitt is a practiced, fluent
and engaging writer, alive to the para
mount duty Of avoiding prolixity and
dullncss; but his work shows marks
Of haste, and there is no doubt that
with little more time and care he
would have freed his pages from some
inadvertent blemislcs.
Before noticing what Mr.. Davitt has
to say about the Phoenix Park muir
ders; about the first home rule bill;
about the "Parncllsm and Crime
prosecution and about the pigott for
gcricS: about the parnell divorce case
and the deposition OF the "Uncrowncd
Kings" or about the second home rule
bill and the United Irish league, it
may be well to offer guiding thread
to the whole narrative by Indicating in
chronological sequence the results OF
Il political and Agrarian movement
which was started among the Irish
pcasantry, which at the outset had no
leaders in the ordinary sense of the
word, but which, despite the qllarrcls
and mistakes of some of it's subse-
qucnt official directors, has achieved
for Ireland far more than had ever
hitherto been attained or supposed by
dispassionate on-lookers to be even at
tainable.
