Sails for Europe CONFIDENT That Home
Rule Is Near at Hand.
T. p. O'Connor, who sailed for Europe
yesterday on the Lucania, had this to say
of the results Of his American trip:
Although my trip has been hurried,
1t has been fruitful in results. There is
now the beginning OF the greatest move
ment and organization in favor Of Home
Rule for Ireland that has existed for nearly
twenty years; in fact, it is almost like old
times. when Parnen was still alive. and
when we seemed within a few months
Of Home Rule. The feeling is growing
once moro that Home Rule is coming very
shortly.
AT the national convention Of the United
Irish League held in Philadelphia there
was a resolution proposed to give Ireland
$50, 900. and within half an hour Of this reso-
luton 500, 900 was pledged. and by a unani-
nous and enthusiastic resolution it was
agreed that 500 900 should be sent within
the twelve months. 1t looks, however, as
though we would not have to wait for the
twelve months, for / believe quite 500 600
has been pledged within three weeks Of
the Philadelphia convention. l attended
like enthusiastic meetings in Philadelphia,
Boston and New York, and everywhere
/ found the same feeling Of generosity.
in Boston, for instance, 10000 was
pledged at one meeting. and in New York
$4,000 was pledged.
Another incident which is significant
is that at a dinner given to me at the Man.
haitian Club there were present nearly
every man Of the Irish race in New York
who holds a position OF prominence. The
significant fact about this dinner was that
the gentlemen present were leaders of
thu Home Rule movement in New York
seventeen years ago before the death OF
ParneLl: During these seventeen years
some Of them have wholly abstained from
M share in Irish politics. n now
they enter the struggle again. These
same men are those who formerly formed
tina Hoffman House committee. and the
PAEnell something like $500 900. l have
requested the gentlemen who formed that
committee to reform II. and l have no doubt
that they will do so. ! leave with great
hope that they will increase the United
Irish Organization and the creation Of

They will address meetings in the several
leading towns Of Massachusetts, and in
PennsyIvania. They will also address many

months At the disposal of the organization,
and believe they will materially help
in increasing the number OF branches.
Il should add a word about my tour to
Canada. / addressed there three large
and enthusiastic meetings in Montreal,

THE STOCK SHIPPERS WIN.
Persuade Commission Men to Abide
by Former Rates. Means Much
to Stock Feeders.

Greene County members of the Corn
Belt Meat Producers Association are
elated over another demonstration of
the fact that "in union there, in
strength, -
Last week the Executive Committee
of the Association met in Des Moines.
to protest against the proposed radi
cal advance in the rate of commissions
by the live stock men at the shipping
centers, and received practically an
official announcement that the ad-
vance would not be made January /.
but would be postponed indefinitely by
the directors of the various exchanges.
The intimation did not cause any sur
prise, as it was known that the live
stock feeders of the middle west were
protesting vigorously against the pro-
posed advance, which would cost Iowa
alone, over S300,000 per annum, and
that they were writing strong letters
OF remonstrance to the various firms.
However, the apparent victory gain
ed by the cattlemen is not definite
enough to warrant them in dropping
their opposition. By merely postpon-
ing the date, the commissioner still
have the power to put the new sched-
ule into effect on days notice.
To prevent any such action, the
Iowa association yesterday determined
to place the matter in the hands of
small committee with power to act.
If any attempt is made to make the
proposed increase effective on short
notice, the small committee will be
able to take steps to meet it.
The unanimous opinion, Judging
from over 200 letters received by
members of the committee, is for the
establishment of independent commits
sion firms at the various live stock
markets, if the present commission
men attempt to enforce the proposed
increase.
That the live stock men are alive to
the Importance of the proposed change
is shown by the fact that over 400 let
ters We're received by President A. /.
Ames. of Buckingham, and other
members of the executive committee
during the last few days, protesting
against it. In addition to the person
al letters, petitions with about 4,OOO
signers were received. The majority
of the writers of the letters inclosed
copies of letters that they had sent to
their commission house protesting
against the increase.

preached by Rev. M. j. Farrelly of

and eloquent style, citing j. E. Bar
rett as an example of the proper kind
of life to lead. Father Hanson in a
few beautiful and we'll chosen words
spoke of the deceased and his life.
Jacob Barrett was one of the kindli-
est, brightest and most intellectual
men of his age which any country
could produce. His life in childhood,
boyhood. and manhood was much the
same in the simplicity of his life and
manner. With all of his bright pros
poets, and there appeared to be a
great future marked out for him, he
never changed his own mild, modest
manner. He was possessed of high
ideals, an untiring worker with no
thoughts of self other than do the
work assigned to him.
Mr.. Cunningham, his superior officer
says of him that he was one of the
brightest young men he had ever
known that he recommended him to
the Comptroller of Currency for the
position of Bank Examiner but the
Comptroller stated that he could not
dispense with his services at this par
ticullar time, but would little later.
The entire community sympathise
with his parents and relatives in the
loss of such boy. He will receive
his reward in the world beyond.

THE FARM.

Land that will produce forty
bushels Of corn certainly will grow
good alfalfa. The blackness of the
land indicates good proportion Of
lime and humus. Break the land
deep this winter, and in March, If
weather is dry enough, stir soil again,
harrow and disk it so the first
four inches will be thoroughly pull
verified. Sow twenty pounds Of seed
per acre Seed costs about $3.50
per bushel. Use a bushel to three
acres. If the stand is what We
think 1t will belt can be cut about
the hrst of June and the second
crop in eight or ten weeks. We
have known alfalfa to be sown neal
Nashville in middle of March and
to be moved three times the same
season, yielding about ton a
