City II eWS
NOTICE REQUIRED
CODE MAKES CAUCUS CALL PRO
VISION AMBIGUOUS. so LONGER
TIME WILL BE TAKEN.

Secretary G. H. Warner Of the repub-
ican state committee has found that
the Revised Statutes mix up the law
governing notice Of the caucuses, and
has secured an opinion from Attorney
General Young, who holds that to be
safe, the county committees will have
to give notice Of thirty-four days from
the first publication and twenty six
days by posted notices. Under the old
law twenty days was sufficient, and
such was probably, the intent Of the
or city committees, cat least TWEEN
ty days before the time fixed for the
election Of delegates,t shall give two
weeks published and at least six days
posted notice Of the primaries.
Under the attorney generals ruling
the publication notice is not complete
till the two weeks are up, and twenty
days must elapse after that before the
caucuses This means that the county
committees will have to meet very soon
and provide the notice, as the first
publication of notice for caucuses on
June will have to be made prior to
April 80.

GOVERNMENT RISKS
. LOSING IRISH VOTE
pecial Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
DUBLIN, October 22-Having lost the
support of Mr.. Kerr Hardie's socialist fol-
lowing in the house of commons, the gov
eminent may lose the support of the Irish
party.
Mr.. John Redmond. interviewed upon the
subject, declared:
when the present government came into
office they said that they were about to
consider some scheme for comforting self
government on the people of Ireland. and
In the circumstances the Irish party de-
cided it would be wise policy to give
ministers ample time to mature their plans.
AT the present moment the Irish party
and people stand face to face with most
critical delicate, difficult and yet a most
extraordinary political situation. The mem
berS of the government, with two three
exceptions, are avowed home rulers, and
we are told that they will introduce bill
next year dealing with self government
for Ireland This is on the highest author
ity; but the extraordinary portion of the
situation is that we also are told that this
home rule government are only to introduce
what Is called administrative home rule
THE Irish people stand where they al
ways stood. We declare that nothing short
of a complete measure of home rule-and
by that mean parliament freely elected
with an executive responsible to it-that
nothing short of a complete scheme or
home rule can ever be accepted as settle
ment of the Irish question.
At Belfast last evening aFther Dinneen
has again raised the questions Irish as
spoken language to die in the districts
where it is still the vernacular? The au-
thor of the Irish dictionary is very appre-
hensive of the fate that threatens the llv-
ing language in it's last homes While
splendid progress is being made in the
schools and in the English-speaking dis
tricts, the area in which Irish is the Ian
guage of. the home and the market is
growing Steadily narrower, while the Ian
guage itself is being degraded and impaired
Father Dnneen points out that the very
conditions that have prevented the spoken
language SO far tend to prevent the develop
ment that is the condition of its ultimate
survival. To deserve to be called living
language, Father Dinneen says truly, 1t
must be the natural and sufficient medium
in which men of education can express
themselves, it must be a medium of social
intercourse firmly linked to the literary,
the commercial and the social life of the
people.

Men and Animals.
From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
In England the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals is asking for an ami
NAL Sunday, after the fashionsof hospital
Sunday. The hope is to secure public in
struction in our duty to dumb creatures.
There is implanted in man by nature
says Bacon, "a noble and excellent spirit
of compassion. that extends itself even to
the brutes which by the divine ordinance
are subject to his command" On the con-
trary, it would seem that the consideration
now shown for the feelings of the lower
animals is the result of long and slow
moral progress. 1t has not always been
characteristic of uncivilized man nor is it
a direct result of Christian morality. In
deed. Schopenhauer bitterly reproached
both Judaism and Christianity for their
shortcomings in this respect. He declared
that the Scriptural doctrine was responsible
for the prevalent cruelty toward the lower
forms of life. While it was taught that
the merciful man Is merciful to his beast
what should be demanded was not mercy
but justice, for man was not created with
absolute dominion over other crea lures
With his enthusiasm for eastern thought,
Schopenhauer said that societies for the
prevention Of cruelty to animals would be
superfiuous in countries where Brahmanism
and Buddhism prevailed.
While it is true that animal life as such
has been held sacred in the far east, it is
not true that this has been because OF just
and merciful feelings 1t has been partly
due to a development totemism when
certain animals have been regarded as di-
vine and partly to utilitarian or selfish sem
timents. 1t is not because the Brahman
is less cruel than the Christian that he
does not slay cattle, and it is because he
appreciates its value as an instrument of
labor that the oriental often cares so ten
derby for his camel or his horse or does
Schopenhauer explain why the nations
which are cons derate of the lower ami
mails are so needless of human grief and
pain. Still, it must be admitted that the
earlier Christian ethics greatly neglected
the whole subject of cruelty to animals. A
great gulf was supposed to separate the
heaven-born soul of man and the blind in
stinct of the brute. But there has been
improvement, however gradual. Certain
sports which afforded amusement to our
ancestors have well-nigh disappeared frcm
civilized communities. Dog fights and cock
fights well as the batting of bears and
bulls, are becoming rare. The clay pigeon
has been widely substituted for the live
bird. Cattle on their way to slaughter
must be transported without cruelty. The
CALLED back of the horse, the broken leg Of
the dog and even the hunger of the cat are
no longer minima of which it can be said
that the law is needless.

Lord Randolph Churchill's Speeches.
From the Saturday Review.

From the saturday HeVleW.
Lord Randolph shares with Gladstone,
Bright and Chamberlain the distinction of
being equally successful in the house of
commons and at a-public meeting. Lord
Beaconsfield very seldom attempted to ad-
dress monster meetings, being well aware
Of his physical limitations, and when he
was obliged to do so, as at the Crystal
Palace and the Pomona Gardens Manches-
ter, he spoke to the reporters. Lord Sails
bury was painfully cold and awkward on
the platform, the shy academic all over.
But Randolph Churchill was in his element
at a big bosterous meeting, to which he
came fully prepared with every kind of
rhetorical entertainment, the solemn exor-
dunn, the violent personal abuse of OPP
solemn perorat ton. A speaker cannot pre-
pare too deliberately for public meeting,
which will well repay his trouble Randolph
Churchill used to write his speeches out in
full read them over two or three times
make copiouS notes and then deliver them
with great dramatic ease and force, as If
he was pouring out profuse and unpre-
meditated thoughts. This is a wonderful
public speakers. Brougham, Bright and
Disraeli possessed it, as does Mr.. Chamber
lain. Gladstones speeches We're too q fuse
to be written and Lord Salisbury did not
write; it would have been better if he had:
nor does Mr.. Balfour; it would be better If
he did. For the house of commons Lord
Randolph prepared quite as carefully. but
in a different vein. remembering Disraeli's
dictum :" Paradise Lost for the house of
lords Don Juan for the house of COM
MONS Randolph's. speeches in the house
of commons were pointed and eloquent con-
versation, the wit and insouciance of
shrewd and finished man of the world. with
the due admixture of stately phras.ng when
the occasion called for it.

QUEER WAYS OF THE UPoToS.
Can't Look at Their Mothers-in-LaW
and Women Eat Special Fish.

From the Athenaeum.
The Upotos live on the northern bank Of
the Congo between Ikonmango and Dobbo.
or between the twentieth and twenty-sec-
ond degrees of east longitude. and seem to
have long resided in the region. They show
a marked dissemination to quit 1t. They
live chiefly by fishing. and one of the first
things to strike visitor is that certain
fish are reserved for the men, others for
the women and yet third kind for the
slaves. These slaves are chiefly slaves
by birth or men sold for their debts. They
are well treated and opposite Iringui is an
island in which al! slaves who are incapa-
BILE of working allowed to reside by
themselves. One form CT semi-servitude is
called lisokko. This is when man, not
having money to buy VIE sells himself
to a chief to obtain one. The offspring OF
such marriage becomes the property of
the chief
One very curious custom is that a
may never look at his mother-in- aw. II he
does, he has to pay her fine of thirty to
fifty mitakkos which are brass rods equal
to half penny. Neither must the mother
in-law look at her daughters husband. Chill
dren are treated with great kindness, and
in fact spoilt. Their mothers do not chastise
them, even if the children strike them.
Among the duties of tie women is that Of
shaving their husbands. The chief amuse-
ments are singing dancing and wrestling
matches between villages. The victors are
painted red; so also are corpses before
burial but in the of women II is not
the bodies, but the coverings In which they
are wrapped, that are so colored.
The Upotos believe in life after death and
in spirits They think their dead relatives
and friends are always watching them. al
though they cannot be seen. Their God is
named Libanza. Their account of the origin
of the white and black races is curious.
Libanza sent his son Tserenga on earth to
see what the races of mankind We're doing.
q
so he gave them a white skin and much
knowledge, but among the Africans he
badly received. so he left them black and
stupid. One of the myths entertained by
this people is that the Congo and its many
tributaries were created by the tears of the
tribes weeping for d favorite chief long
ago. The moon is supposed to be an i'm
r2ense ship engaged in conveying the souls
of the dead to LibanZa, and the stars are
the eyes of the dead, who sleep during the
day
