MICHAEL LAMBERT.
Death Of Loyal Nationalist Who
Helped James Stephens to
ESCAPE.

Escape
A Dublin message announces the
death of Michael Lambert, a well
known Irish Nationalist and an active
participator in the Fenian rising Of
March, 1867. He was instrumental in
effecting the escape Of James Ste
phens, the famous Fenian, from the
old Richmond Bridewell, now the We'll
lington barracks, in Dublin, in 1865 by
means Of forged keys.
The manner in which the escape
took place has only recently been made
known. 1t is now believed that some
of the prison officials were in league
with the. Fenian brotherhood. The
prison hospital superintendent, whose
name was Breslin. had pass keys for
the interior doors Of the prison and
the night Waterman. Byrne, had keys
for both the interior and the exterior
passages. When Stephens was placed
in the prison Lambert succeeded in OBJ
tanning wax, impressions Of the differ
ent keys and made duplicates. which
were passed to the Fenian chief and
opened the way for him to liberty.

Irish Are Honest.

Andrew Mack, after a world tour,
has just returned to Boston. He IS
full Of anecdotes. Among them he tells
the following:
While going on a car in the Killar-
ney district. noted one thing. We
were talking about the poverty Of the
Irish people. We had on the car with
us an Irish lady and gentleman, an
English woman and myself. During
the journey this English woman lost
her purse. After going half or three
quarters Of mile, she discovered the
fact and she became very much ex-
cited. and shouted to the carman:
Stop the car, stop the car: I have
lost my purse and it contained 20
pounds and my return ticket. What
shall l do: may never expect to
get it back again."
The car man said to her. Now
don't be disturbed. madam, If you have
lost anything on the road. you will
surely get it back, and we will drive
on"
She said: stop this car. ] must
ind my purse" :.

observation Is that most, not all, but
most Of the contentious over the line
between nation and state are traceable
to predatory corporations, which are
trying to shield themselves from de-
served punishment, or are endeavorins
to prevent needed restraining legisla-
uon." That one sentence is worth all
the presidential messages since Nc
Kinlsys death. For William Jennings
Bryan there is no twilight zone in
which the editor or congressman can
exploit interests at the expense OF
peoples morality. He reminds one OF
Papinian. who went to the block rather
than write a brief in defense Of Cara
ealla, who murdered Geta, his brother.
With D'Aggasseau or Thomas More he
would have welcomed death in his de-
tense Of honor and the law.
am not a prophet. 1t is hard to
! predict. Still, if prediction based upon
a belief that is based on years of care
full observation is worth anything,
Bryan, If elected, will make a good
and a great President. Besides, he
has back Of him much that is best in
our traditions and history. The plat
form upon which he stands is not plat
!itud1nous-it is sound timber, every
plank. There will be no compromise
with crime. No Paul Morton will be
whitewashed, no political criminal or
scalawag appointed to office. No sta
tistics will be tempered with till they
tell a tale such as parties in exjgen
cies call for. The divisions, bureatts
and departments will not be made TO
subserve partisan purposes, as, alas,
they have too often been made to do
under others.
These, then, are the main features
of the man. Whether he wins or loses,
he will go down to his grave a great
American, splendid specimen of
what was thought of when Lowell
wrote the great ode in which he re-
ferred to Lincoln as the First Ameri.
can. Luckily the land is no longer
dependent upon one man, however
great. 1t is to go on and on, and on,
irrespective of it's Presidents. The
fathers, faithful to their trust, plant
ed the tree of liberty so deep that its
roots run out into all parts of the
earth. The worlds powers will never
be able to put it up. In all our past
there was no more powerful, no no
bier personality, than the great Ne
braskan, William Jennings Bryan.
