The London Times" like it's Irish
namesake, looks forward eagerly to q
campaign by Mr.. William O'Brien
against the Irish Party and National
Organization, and makes no secret OF
it's anxiety for it's success says the
Dublin Freeman. The unity of the
Irish Party and the Irish people for
the last few years has been the
despair Of the enemies of Ireland
They watched the Irish power growing
in Parliament, in Ireland, in Grea.
Britain, and in the greater ireland
beyond the seas and irresistibly press
ing the Irish question again to the
front. Not the Unionist Government
alone. but the Liberal renegades, fel,
that United Ireland was to be
reckoned with at the next general
election, and afterwards. 1t was felt
that the Liberal Government which
betrayed or repudiated the Irish cause
could not hold power, even If it sue
ceeded in obtaining it, in the teeth
of a concentrated, determined, and
united Irish opposition. The one hope
for the enemies of Ireland was dis
sention. Dissentton would weaken
the Irish power at the election and
in the new Parliament. The forces
would be dissipated in civil war which
should be united against the common
enemy Those prophets of evil be-
li"ved what they wish to believe. Blu,
in Ireland there is no fear of dissen-
tion. For never in the history of the
movement We're people and Party
alike more determined that majority
| rule must prevail. It is quite safe tc
| prophesy that on this subject the
National Convention, to which the
| Times" looks forward for conflic
and confusion. will speak with {
plainness and force not to be mis-
construed or resisted.

Democratic Reformers.

There was time within the past
year when the prospects of the Demo-
cratic party for success were slight.
President Roosevelt's square deal"
policy, a seeming in ability to arrange
a program of action satisfactory to the
divergent wings of the party, and the
golden tide of success in which the
Republican party found itself-all
these factors made Democratic sue
cess a rather hazy possibility. But
the human element" in all move
ments is the most important. and a
few conspicuous figures of force and
distinction arising in the Democratic
| party have reawakened hopes and CIV
en- prophecy a sober basis. Several
| cities have recently cleansed them
selves. There were explosions-li tic
Mount Pelees of agitation. And in this
political house-cleaning, Democrat s
have taken conspicuous part. says

ministers in Boston on the grounds
that Mayor Collins was a Roman
Catholic and his son had attended a
Jesuit college and was a deyout Cath
olic." The ministers very much re-
gretted the dissent of the one objector
yet it is useful in Its way as showing
the progress of the rest. Yes, we
have made wonderful progress in this
country in fifty years. Fifty years ago
no Catholic could have been elected to
any office in the city of Boston. No
conference of Baptist ministers would
have done honor to Catholic citi-
zen. Catholics have also learned to
respect their Protestant fellow citizens.
For all this We should be devoutly
thankful.

THE KAISER AND JAPAN,

Congressman William S. McNary of
| Boston has just returned from u visit
abroad. He says that he was COR
I rectly quoted by Il reporter of the
New York Times in u recent interview
| upon what the German emperor said
to the delegation of United States
congressman who called upon the
kaiser. The congressman says that
the emperor urged upon his visitors
the necessity of the United States and
| Europe uniting to protect themselves
| against Japan. He said that it ought
/ now to be apparent to everybody that
with the triumph of Japan that nation
would enter upon a period of compe-
| tition with western nations for the
markets Of the world. Japan, he point
ed out, was SO near to China that the
commercial interests of Japan and
China would be practically identical.
The United States being between
Japan and Europe, would feel the COM
petition much sooner than Europe and
hence it was clearly in the kaiser's
view to the interests of the United
States to join with the nations of
;ect their markets for competition in
the market with Japan and China.
The kaiser also mentioned the fact
that as soon as the contracts with
the German officials who had been en-
gagged in instructing the Japanese in
military matters had expired the con-
tracts had not been renewed, the Jap
anese now depending upon their own
military instruction. This was taken
as additional evidence that henceforth
the Japanese proposed to be as indie
pendent as possible of Europe.
The German emperor is one of the
most far-seeing men in the world to-
day. With all his eccentricities he is
a great man and there is no doubt
about that. He foresees that a great
commercial struggle has just COM
menced between the yellow and the
white races. He realizes fully now
what other so-called statesmen will
learn twenty-five years hence. The
white races of the world will find out
very soon that the Japanese have
learned all the good and bad of our
civilization. That they intend to en-
ploy their knowledge for their own
benefit there can be no doubt.
They have hired skilled German
army officers to teach their soldiers
tactics. They have employed British
and American seamen to teach their
sailors how to shoot. They have for
some years past invited American ami
European merchants to their shores
that they might learn from them the
secrets that lead to commercial sue
cess There is a good deal of evil
dence in existence that they have
learned about all that we can teach
1t is little surprising that there are
any Americans or Europeans so foolish
rs to believe that the Japanese are
going to miss the opportunity of gob-
bling up the Chinese trade. Japan in
sists upon the open door in China, but
the open door in China means an open
door for Japan only, for Japan is so
near China that its greater opportunity
to take advantage Of the new market
must be apparent.

to affiliate with the Nationalist Party.
The campaign carried on by Mr..
, O'Brien has fortunately not greatly
weakened the party. 1t was feared at
| the time that the break occurred be-
! tween him and his former colleagues
I that his splendid record in the nation
! al service, the commanding influence
of his name and the undoubted respect
and affection which his countrymen
entertained for him would serve to
shatter the National Party.
We now have the assurance, if such
assurance is needed from representa-
| tives direct from the people tina: the
irish Nationalists are a unit in sup
port of the party led by Mr.. Redmond.
The fact that Mr.. O'Brien is being
supported by the enemies of Ireland
ought to be sufficient evidence for him
that his efforts are injurious to the
National cause. He can no longer
claim that the program followed by the
leaders of the Irish Party is but the
expression of the sentiment of what he
has termed "a triumphate of leaders,"
The people in a large and representa-
tive meeting have with one voice ap-
proved of the work of Mr.. Redmond
land his colleagues.
1t is conclusive evidence of the
conservative spirit of the people of
Ireland to know that no hostile voice
was raised in that convention against
Mr.. O'Brien personally. In fact the
Irish people entertain the highest re-
gard for that leader. There does not
appear to be any personal hostility
toward him in any part of Ireland
People remember him for the great
service that he has rendered and the
feeling existing is rather one of re-
gret that he should now feel it his
place and duty to so act that his ac-
tions give hope and announcement
to his former enemies and the enc
mics of his country

There is no doubt but that consid-
cradle dissatisfaction exists in Ireland
over the working of the Land Pur-
chase Act. So much was expected and
hoped for from this legislation that it
is not to be wondered at that disap-
pointment has resulted. The trouble
results from the inability of tenants
to pay the prices demanded by land
lords and from the failure Of The
government to extend the aid to the
purchasers that it was expected would
be extended. The Wyndham Act pro-
vided that the government should pay
a bonus of $60,OOO,OOO to landlords in
addition to what was TO be paid by the
tenants. On account of the heavy
duced by the Boer war the govern
ment has not been able to give the aid
contemplated by the Land Purchase
Act as quickly as land owners and
tenants desire. Thus far only about
$12,0O0,000 has been advanced by the
government. The present cabinet ex-
presses willingness to provide an ad-
ditional ten million before the end of
the present year. Perhaps the will
lingnsss on the part Of Balfour at the
present time is accounted for by the
approach of election, for it must be
kept in mind that the Unionists in Ire
land are equally interested with the
tenants in facilitating the operation
of the Land Act.

'Frederlck lrland, Official repOrte

Frederick Irland, official reporter
of the United States Congress, wrote
two hundred and forty-one words in
minute in shorthand on a black
board at the recent convention of
shorthand writer's in this city," says
The Boston Herald, astonishing the
stenographers generally by his really
phenomenal performance" Shorthand
is not an exact science and memory
plays a phomnent part in transcribing
ones notes. Writing photography on
blackboard is much more difficult
than setting at desk with a pen or
pencil. At another convention at
Chautauqua Mr.. Irland wrote an ac-
curate and legible shorthand three
hundred and fifty-four words in Il
minute. The ordinary speaker utters
words at the rate of ne-hundred and
seventy-five words a minute and it
takes an extraordinarily fast talker to
speak about six words second.
While realizing the great advance in
industrial arts the public do not give
enough credit to the silent stenog-
rapher who using the art preservative
of arts. transmits to posterity the
blessings of eloquent speech:
These lines and dots are locks and
keys,
. In narrow space to treasure thought,
Whose precious hoards, wheneer YOU
please,
Are thus to light from darkness
brought"

Senator Platt of New York says
that from this time on he is opposed
to Governor Higgins and gives as his
reason for such opposition the fact that
the governor failed to approve of a
bill which was passed by the last
legislature in favor of a New York
hotel at which the senator lives.
Verify it takes but little to turn the
minds Of some so-called statesmen
ator Plat must be in his dotage. One
can scarcely conceive of a sane man
basing his political action upon such
trivial occurrences.

Each man was given two beans,
black one and a white one, the white
bean to represent the affirmative and
the black one the negative. A hat
was procured and the balloting began.

President Roosevelt has struck

President Roosevelt has struck a
responsive cord in the hearts of the
Southerners by his decision to visit
the fever stricken city of New Or
leans. The president has shown on
many different occasions the absence
of all personal fear. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether serious minded
people will approve of his determina-
tion to visit New Orleans. In a par
Mcular way his life is not his own and
there is no duty to be performed by
him upon this visit nor can any
special good come from it. He is
risking his life without any necessity
Late Archbishop Chappelle was strick-
en- in the performance of his regular
duties. The president has no such

shrank:


Their sharp, full cheer from rank on
rank,
Rose joyously, with willing breath
Rose like greeting hail to death.
Then forward they sprang, and spurred
and clashed;
Rode well the men, each brave as his
fellow,
In their faded coats of the blue and
yellow;
And above in the air, with an instinct
true,
Like bird of war, their pennon flew.
With clank of scabbards and thunder
of steeds,.
And blades that shine like sunlit reeds,
And strong brown faces bravely pale,
For fear their proud attempt shall fail,
Three hundred Pennsylvania close
On twice ten thousand gallant foes
Line after line the troopers came
Ts the edge Of the wood that was
ring'd with flame;
Rode in and sabred and shot-and fell;
Nor came one back his wounds to tell,
And full in the midst rose Keenan,, tall,
In the gloom, like a martyr awaiting
his fall,
While the circle stroke of his sabre,
swung
Round his head, like halo there,
luminous hung.
Line after line, aye, whole platoons,
Struck dead in their saddles, of brave
dragons
BY the maddened horses were onward
borne
And into the vortex flung, trampled
and torn;
AS Keenan, fought with his men, side
by side.
So they rode, till there were no more
to ride
But over them lying there, shattered
and mute.
What deep echo rolls? 'Tis a death
salute
From the cannon in place; for, heroes,
you braved
Your fate not in vain; the army was
saved!
Over there now-year following year
Over their graves the pine-cones fall,
And the whippoorwill chants his spec
tire call;
But they stir not again; they raise no
cheer:
They have ceased. But their glory
shall never cease,
Nor their light be quenched in the light
of peace.
The rush of their charge is resounding
STILL
That saved the army at Chancellors-
vile.

Last evening after tea,
Eut got a book, an settled down
AS comfy as could be.
I'll tell you I was offul glad
To have my pa about
To answer all the things had
Been tryin to find out
And so 1 asked him why the world
Is round instead of square.
And why the piggies' tails are cured,
And why don't fish breathe air?
And why the moon don't hit star,
And why the dark is black,
And just how many birds there are,
And will the wind come back?
And why does water stay in wells,
And why do June bugs hum,
And what's the roar hear in shells,
And wnen will Christmas come?
Ard why the grass is always green,
Instead of sometimes blue?
And why bean will grow bean.
And not an apple. too?
And why horse can't learn to moo,
And why a COW can't neigh?
And do the fairies live on dew,
And what makes hair grow gray?
And then pa got up an, Gee!

II hadn't done a thing, but he
Jest sent me off to bed.
