II the Beers, Why Not tho Irish?
Some observant Irishmen are rising
to remark that Ireland ought to have
equal political privileges with the new.
~ acquired British dependency In
South Africa In this vein Mr.. William
O'Brien, who was one Of the ParneE
school of Irish Nationalist when the
forceful leader was fighting Ireland's
cause, spoke recently. Said Mr..
O'Brien:
The excuse is, forsooth. the fear Of re-
bellion in Ireland-in Ireland. where there
has not been for more than century an
instruction that required the services Of
a company of soldiers to put it down.
Eight years have not passed since Eng
land was sustaining at the hands of Cen
eral Botha and his brother generals a
series of humiliations such as she scarce
ly sustained in all her wars against Ma
poleon; yet nobody any longer finds II
strange that the Beers it took so much
blood and treasure to conquer should,
after this short probation, receive in flow
ing measures the liberties Ireland through
five-siXths of her representatives has been
demanding in vain for generations. 1t
seems the most natural thlnS In the WOrlO
that the rebel generalissimo should find
himself called to the councils of the king
and acclaimed by the most fnperialiSt
mob in England. The way to fit men for
liberty. Gladstone once truly said Is to
give them liberty. But, in the case Of
Ireland, a band of frolicSome schoolboys

member of parliament hard up for any
more effective form of demonstration to

go into Mysteries at the thought of in
trusting such monsters with the liberties
which have turned the slightly more for
midable sharpshooters of the Boer kopje,

England's treatment Of General
Botha, the hero of Spion K>p. has beer
praised by all the world as the highest
chivalry, but it may yet appear as a
piece of calculating policy to keep the
Beers quiet. If it is inspired by a
real change of heart toward the weak

seem that Ireland should receive a

BIG RABBIT drive

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 26.-What Is
declared will be the biggest rabbit
drive ever pulled of in the Northwest
is scheduled for Jan. Is at Wide Hol-
low, WASH, west of Spokane, where
hunters and ranchers from various
parts of the state will participate In
run that gives promise of becom-
ing famous in the history of drives.
Ranchers and orchardists of Wide
Hollow are promoting the days sport,
which will result in the extermina-
ton of thousands of Jacks" cavort-
ing in the sagebrush and damaging
apple trees. One party of mounted
hunters will start from Tampico and
drive in an easterly direction; the
second party, starting from Mob Hill
to meet the first, while the third con-
tingent will start in the Cowiche.
They will meet in Cowiche Canyon,
where the killing will take place.
The last drive took place several
years ago, and since then the lacks
in the Wide Hollow district have null
tiplied so rapidly they are now a

PROBABLE
RATE IA
Bitter Fight for Business Expected
Among Eastern Railroads
Erie Will Cancel Rates.

Chicago, Dec 25.-Eastern roads
are on the verge of what promises to
be a disastrous passenger rate war.
Yesterday the Erie gave notice of
cancellation of all it's eastbound pas
senger traffic shown in the Chicago
rate sheet. Notice was also given by
that road that February 1, 1908, 1t
would no longer abide by the differ
entail arbitration award of President
Lucius futile of the Boston & Maine
road, whereby the Michigan Central
was accorded rate of $40 between
Chicago and New York.
1t is expected that when the Inde-
pendent Erie tariff, to be known as
Erie tariff No. 1, is made public, the
first-class rates to New York and all
points east of Chicago will have suf-
fered a material reduction. Dissatis-
faction over the Michigan Cen
trail award and over the failure of
the lines to keep the agreement not
to pay steamship commissions are
said to be the causes of the Erle's ac-
ton.
Since Nov. 90, when the Fries SO
second-class rate to New York went
into effect, $4,000 steamship passen-
gers have been carried East. and of
these the Erie has carries about H.
900.

Washington's Road to Mount Vernon.
The Mount Vernon association is talk.
ing the preliminary steps toward the
construction of a boulevard from Al
eXandria to the home of Washington
The time has come when the ap
proaches to Mount Vernon should be
made to conform to the dignity and
grandeur of the spot.
With a broad, properly prepared
roadway of easy grades the journey to
the home of Washington would become
a pleasantly memorable experience tc
thousands and tens of thousands OF
Americans during the coming years
They would travel over the ground sc
often trodden by Washington himself
and b. their surroundings and re-
minders would be beguiled into the
mood that would best adapt them to
the quiet spirit of Mount Vernon. The
opening of a boulevard to Mount Yer
non would not tend to disturb the quiet
of the place. On the contrary, it would
facilitate travel and thereby avoid hur
ry and confusion, while the increased
traffic would speedily call into being
better accommodations near the Wash
ington estate for the comfort Of Wis
itors.
Although the seat of Washington
can be reached by trolley and by boat
it is impracticable to reach the spot by
horse or motor on account of the bad
road. The highway connecting Mount
Vernon with Alexandria and Washing
ton is a rare antique-one Of the relics
Of the old heartbreaking days when
life was largely spent in struggle with
adverse nature That this road should
remain to this day is an anomaly.

SPOKANE MAKES
BIG GAINS

Spokane, Dec. 26.-Advance sta

pairing the date for the 1908 book
show that Spokane has. population
of almost lis, 1000, a gain of 10000
in 1907. The following statement is
given out in this connection:
while we can arrive at no accu-
rate estimate as to the population of
the city, we know enough to say with
out hesitancy that the increase has
may be that the city's growth since
the compilation Of the last directory,
placing the population at $4,000, will
be shown to have been remarkable.
We know, of course, that the popu-
lation of the state of Washington
has undergone wonderful increase
during the year and it is natural to
believe that this growth will be pro-
! portionately reflected by the chief
city of eastern Washington. The
population of Spokane is estimated
on basis of multiple of two and
a half.
