selves badly than be governed well BY
another nation.
Mr.. Redmond bitterly attacked the gov
ernments attitude on education In Ire
land, describing IL as grossly absurd and
irreparably harmful 10 the youth OF Ire
land.
The governments course on the Irish
university question. he added, was dis
honest evasion OF an admitted duty and
n grievance which poisoned the life or
Ireland and condemned her to failure In
the struggle OF nations.
The government continued Mr.. Red
mond, had played the devils game Of
falss promises" too often, and IL the
government desired the support OF the
Irish I'm parliament and at the polls moth
ing short OF the introduction OF the requi-
site legislation would secure II.
Referring 10 the land question. Mr.. Red
mond said the failure OF last years act
proved that this parliament had neither
time nor capacity 20 legislate satisfac-
tor1ly for Ireland. The act must be
amended forthwith, In the interests OF the
tenants and landlords. Mr.. Redmond
concluded with a few scathing remarks
concerning that irritating ~anachronisn
known as Dublin Castle" declaring thai
the present government or Ireland was
too rotten 10 be mended and must there
fore be ended
Mr. Redmond who was supported by q
full representation on the Irish benches
received an ovation from his followers al
the close OF his foroeful, outspoken criu'
cism.
Mr. Wyndham, chief secretary for Ire
land, in reply announced the govern
ments intention 10 introduce an act
amending the Irish Land act and clearing
all the doubtful points.
In regard TO the university. he said. the
government had no intention OF legislat'
Ing at present. The question ought 90 bs
settled but II was useless to attempt any
thing until a more substantial agreement
had been arrived at between all the par
ties in Ireland.
With reference 10 Mr.. Redmond's de
mand for Home Rule, Mr.. Wyndham sait
Mr.. Redmond's object seemed TO be q
! prove that he was the real head OF tn
/ third party in the house OF commons an'
/ that II demanded a separate parliamen
for Ireland. The chief secretary denie
that he ever had proposed Irish legisls
tion with the view Of giving Home Rul
to Ireland or as a concession for the pur
pose OF changing the views OF the Ma
| tionalists. He also denied that he had an
understanding with the Irish party 70
any purpose. He had been careful nc
20 deiude the Irish by rosy. ambiguou
periods, but he would insist that Irelan
| derive a. fair share of the financial rs
sources of the empire.

HOW PROTECTION ROBS.
Mr. Schwab, of Steel Trust, Tells OF
''Nicc Margino Made Out of
Home Consumers.

Clearer proof of the truth that PRO
lection is robbery" could not be de-
sired than was given by Representa-
tive John Sharp Williams in his
speech:
You know we can make steel rails
for less than SO a ton," wrote Mr..
Schwab, leaving a nice margin fo- for
eign business" The size of this nice
margin is so for the price of American
rails to foreigners 0he Grand Trunk
Railway of Canada, for instance) is
$21 ton; but when the same corpora
ton. whose lines are partly in United
States territory, buys rails to lay down
on this side of our tariff boundary. 1t
is obliged to pay for the goods at the
rate of 500 ton. The President of the
company stands ready to vouch for this
fact. The rails cost S12 ton to pro-
duce; they are sold to foreigners at $21
a ton, which is a fair profit; but when
sold to be put down in the United
States the sum of 500 ton is exacted,
the extra So being pure robbery.-PhiI-

Republicans to Be Disappointed.

The Indiana Republicans have been
boasttng that they would carry the
Twelfth Congressional District of that
State this year for the first time in
history. The district includes the city
of Fort Wayne, where Robinson, the
Democratic nominee, was cut consider
ably in a previous contest. The STAFF
correspondent of the indianapolis
News thinks the Republicans will be
disappointed. He has Travelled over the
Twelfth District, and reports as the re-
suit of his investigation, that there sis
little foundation" for the Republican
claim that they will win out this year.
Fort Wayne is the chief. city in Allen
County, which sent Hearst delegates
to st. Louis. The Democrats there are
of the true-blue kind, and they are
solid for Parker and Davis and the
rest of the Democratic ticket.
