He hopes to defeat the senators two years from now aud nominate the state ticket.

The Seattle democrats endorse the republican candidates for'superior judge and superintendent of schools. They did this on the ground that the judici- ary and the schools should be kept out of politics and because the men who were renominated by the republicans had given satisfaction in office.

bers of the Church Of England and

Labor questions have already created
a party with more than fifty repre-
sentattves in the House of Commons.
1t is probable that the workmen of
England, who constitute an immense
majority. having now found their
power, will unite and organize to ex-
ercise complete control in the near
future. Al the members of the Labor
Party are Home Rulers. Ireland and
its representatives would look upon
the success Of a Labor Party with
great hope. All in all the situation up
to date is hopeful one for, Ireland.
1t is not expected by people at all
acquainted With the situation that the
present Parliament will grant a meas
ure of complete Home Rule. but it is
expected that such long step will
be taken in that direction that the ul-
innate success of the Home Rule move-
ment can not long be deferred.

The automobile has already claimed
its first victim of the season. Unless
stricter methods are adopted by the
police and the courts to enforce laws
md ordinances in reference to the use
of the public streets an unusual
slaughter and manning of people may
be expected the coming season. The
public press has been filled for three
months with q discussion Of the evils
of football. The danger to life and
limb occasioned by football at its
worst is very small compared to the
injury done every season by the auto
mobile. Yet for some reason we hear
little sa,d in public against the auto
mobile. Perhaps the reason is to be
found in the fact that the automobile
is the plaything of the influential citi-
zen. 1t is usually Improbable for the
press to interfere with the passtimes
of leading citizens. If the slaughter
must proceed until the public con-
science has been awakened to the need
of saner methods in the handling Of
dangerous ins:rumentalities we hope
that the victims may be taken from
those who use the automobile rather
than from among those who attempt
to use the streets in q legitimate way.

In the course of the recent cam

to his constituents
THE Irish question, do not forget,
is also a British question. We were
told twenty years ago-I well remem-
Der it-by the then head of the Con-
servative party, that it only needed
twenty years Of firm and resolute
government to drive the Irish ques-
ton forever out of your horizon. Well,
that has not come to pass. Every
body knows that our system Of Irish
government is extravagant in its
cost. They know - everybody who
knows anything at all about Irish gov
eminent knows-that it works IRA
tionally because 1t commands no pop
ular confidence. that it wakens no
sense of public responsibility. either
collective or individual, because to the
people very little voice is given-I do
not say none, but very little voice ia
given-in the management Of their
own affairs. Yet our system both en-
ables and impels them to embarrass
and interrupt our conduct of our own
national affairs. Public men belong

Two beautiful specimens of Irish
harps have recently been acquired by
the National Museum in, kildare street,
Dublin. One of them is a large Egan
wire strung harp made about the year
1920, decorated with shamrocks. and
having two Irish inscriptions on the
panels Of the sound boards. 1t appears
to have been made for Charles Eari
O'Neill (son of Lord O'Neill, who was
killed in the battle Of Antrim. June II.
1889, and bears his coat Of arms as
we'll as the arms and motto Of the
Knights Of st. Patrick. Of which body
he was knigh: companion. The other
harp is more modern. and was one Of
Egan's small instruments. bearing the
date Of 1886, when Egan, in his declin-
ing years. had been in partnership with
Read and Taylor. at Aunster street,
Dublin. This Irish harp firm disap-
peared in 1883.

IRISH NAMES IN COURT.

An investigation by the United Irish
Societies of the City of New York into
the practice OF prisoners accused of
crime adopting Irish names has led
to astonishing revelations. The inves-
tigation developed the fact that hun
dreds of persons accused Of crime who
are not Irish give Irish names. Not
withstanding the large Irish population
of the city, the nationality ranks fifth
in the number of persons convicted of
felonies. There were convicted Of
felonics in the criminal courts of New
York City during the two years of
1904 and 1905 three thousand two hum
bred for.y-six persons Who gave their
place of nativity as the United States.
Three hundred forty-eight Italians,
three hundred fortyfour Russians,
three hundred ten Germans, one hum
bred ninety-two Irish, one hundred
twenty-five Australians and one hun
dred twenty-five born in England.
Roumania furnished thirty, Scotland
twenty-eight. Sweden twenty-four,
France twenty-thtee, Greece ten, Spain
four and other countries one hundred
fifty. The United Irish Societies gath
cred the figures to rcfute the asser-
ton that the Irish people furnish any
considerable proportion Of the persons
guilty of felonies. The men engaged
in the work found that the court rec
ords were misleading because of the
custom among Italians and other ma
tionalitics of giving Irish names when
put under arrest. The situation In
New York is pretty much the same
situation as exists IN every city. Per-
sons With unpronounceable italian or
Russian names are likely to give some
Irish name with an accent that would
tempt an ordinary Irishman to COM
NIT the felony Of assault and battery
at once. upon the person giving the
name. The writer has himself wit
messed in the Police Court of this city
an instance where an unusually dark
African responded to the name of
"O'Brien." We rather think that
criminals believe there is some say
ing grace in Irish names.
The records collected by the United
Irish Societies Of New York would
hardly lead one toa the belief that
they are in keeping with the predica-
ment in which they find themselves.
We are glad to know that the figures
compiled from the court records of the
largest and most cosmopolitan city in
the country do not prove that Irish
names are the most common in tn.
records of the criminal courts. -

The Proportion Of Priests.

How many souls can one priest take
care of? The answer varies accord
ing to conditions. In a Catholic coun-
try, like Italy. the task of the priest
should be easier than in the United
States. Italy is thickly settled, and
here is 70 schism or heresy to double
the task Of the pastor. In the United
States Catholics are often widely scat
tered, and the flock must be protected
from manifold dangers.
Here are some fairly reliable statis-
tics Of the number of priests and the
number of Catholics in specified coun-
tries. Also the number Of people to
one priest:
United States-15, 100000 Catholics,
l4,s00 priests, 1000 for one priest.
France-s70o0,oo 900 Catholics, $500
priests, $50 for one priest.
Spain - 1s,o00,0o0 Catholics, s2.4ss
priests, SIS for one priest.
Italy - 100000 Catholics, 1850
priests, $50 for one priest.
Philippines - 100000 Catholics, 9ls
priests, 1000 for one priest.
The figures showing the number Of
priests in France, Spain and Italy ara
from the latest Statesman's Year Book.
and for the latest years available.
(France in 1892, Spain in 1884 and Italy
$50 Catholics in the Latin countries,
and one priest for every 1000 Catholics
in the United States. Assuming that
the United States has the normal ratio.
the condition of the Philippine Church
is certainly startling.
