Irish Agra1ian Legislation.

The progress Of agrarian legislation
In settled country like Great Britain
must be distinctly encouraging to a
body like the Russian douma striving
to put the agriculture Of the empire
upon a basis of justice to the country
and the peasantry. Under pressure
from the Irish nationalist group the
liberal government has drafted and
brought into the house Of commons a
bill which should go long way to-
ward settling the economic Irish ques-
.tion. The measure which has been
fathered by James Bryce, the Irish Sec
rotary, and to which the government
stands committed, authorizes govern
ment loan Of $22,5OO,000 for the erec-
ton of laborers' cottages. This sum
is to be given on the same terms as
the advance to tenant farmers under
the Wyndham land purchase act. Mr..
Bryce estimates the average cost of
cottages at $3.50, SO that the sum, with
other funds 8 available, would. before
exhausted, build between $4,000 and
!. 10000 cottages. s1ss... 81,

Tomorrow's Convention,

: Republicans Of Hennepin county will
meet in convention tomorrow to select
"a delegation of ninety nine to attend
! the state convention in Duluth. Henne-
pin needs the most careful attention this
Syear at the hands of party leaders, and
they cannot afford to send anything but
s a high grade, representative delegation
6 to Duluth to act for the $4,000 republic
cans of the county.
: Only about one republican voter in
five attended the primaries Saturday
evening. This is no particular fault Of
Ethe voters. No great issue was at
stake and no great effort made to get
them out. In majority of precincts
the workers made up ticket which
was chosen without opposition. The
county convention will be largely a
gathering of politicians, interested in
! the result for various reasons. Some
want to attend the convention, or to
see some friend go. Others want pres
tige and control of some kind. There
is another consideration, however, which
ought to weigh heavier than mere sell
{ fish reasons. Hennepin county ought to
; be carried for the republican nominee
for governor this fall, and it will be if
/ the right kind Of nomination is made, in
d the right way. If the convention makes
bad nomination, or makes it as re-
I suit Of trickery Or improper influence
then the candidate will probably lose
{ Hennepin county, and he will deserve tt
lose it. Incidentally, it may be. notet
81 that when Hennepin has gone agains
the republican nominee for governor il
the past, he has been defeated.

UnIque-Pollte Vaudeville,

Unusual cleverness in construction and
acting marks the condensed comedy,
''The Hold-up." presented by Dunn and
Francis at the Unique this week. The
situation Is well conceived, from come
dy point Of view, and works we'll in the
hands Of Mr.. Dunn and Miss Francis,
who provoke laughter to the extent of
utter exhaustion. The skit Is the work
Of Mr.. Dunn and is one Of the cleverest
playlets which has been seen on the local
vaudeville stage for 'some time. Mr.
Dunn plays the violin excellently, and
Miss Francis has a pleasing voice. Both
voice and violin are brought into play
without interrupting the action OF the
piece. " - 49,: T., @@-..I

out precarious living. Were it not
for annual excursions to England to
assist in reaping the harvest, his little
supply Of money would be far below
the level of existence. The object of
the bill is to stay the tide of emigra-
ton and put Ireland on a self-support-
ing basis, in which the tenant farmer
and the farm laborer will be able to
live.
The Irish farm. laborer, from the in
ception of the Parnell movement, has
been the backbone Of the. Land league.

An overbearing aunt, in charge Of the

a cattle ranch at Buffalo N. T., and a
stirring encounter with bloodthirsty
band Of Indians in the forests about that

aunts suspicion. To allay it the prodi-
gal must return to England bringing an
Indian with him. He starts to do this,
but poor Lo" is mislaid on the way over
The uncle then engages a travelling
medicine man and his Indians to fill the
gap. At the same time the nephew In

The Debt to the College.

The perl0d OF college c0mmencementS|
approaches Time was when the COM
mencement platform was given over
largely to the graduate and he was af-
forded his much-appreciated opportu-
nifty to instruct the world on how to
conduct itself. He never shrank from
the responsibility and the amount Of
advice dealt out from the commence
ment platform at this season of the year
would have been quite sufficient, if
acted upon, to avert all errors and dis
asters for the coming years. But the
graduate has now been butte gener-
ally ruled off the platform; possibly
because he was too much given to pre-
scribing how the world should con luct
itself. In his place stand the lawyer
and the preacher and other men who
have acquired facility in public speak
Ing, with baccalaureate sermons, COM
mencement orations, Phi Beta Kappa
addresses and other examples of wis
dom springing from sources supposed
to be deeper and more profound. f..
Colleges multiply and the attendance
increases greatly from year to year. The
reason is not far to seek The calcula-
tions and estimates claim that the grad
uate of a high school has twenty
| chances for; success where the boy who
stops with the grades has one, and that
the graduate Of college has ten times
as many chances for success as the
graduate of the high school. The self
made man will probably take issue with
this conclusion Of the statistician and
certainly the achievements Of the self
made man are not to be undervalued;
but it is not hard to defend the propo-
sition that when the unschooled, self
made man is reasonably we'll made. he
is usually good example of what might
have been greatly improved upon with
more abundant educational opportuni'
ties.
What a college does for the individual
is of the highest Importance, but it is
only one side of the question. There is
another side which is more important
and that relates to',the service which

. zen and calculate what it would mean il

fairs.
The college graduate is, and ough
