LORD AsHTowN
An Enemy Of Erin 10 Raised to the
Peerage.

An Enemy OF Erin 10 Raised to the
Peerage.
A special cable to the Sunday Jour-
nal, dated Dublin, Nov. 81, says:
Lord Ashtown has at last secured a
seat in the hous, Of lords as repre-
sentative Irish peer, but it is in keep
ing With his whole history that he
owes his seat, partly at least, to chance
and not to the opinion of a majority
II his fellow peers that he is a suitable
person to represent them. 1t may not
be generally known that Irish peers
are not entitled by right of their peer
age to sit in the British house of lords.
The majority Of them, of course. are
holders of British peerages as we'll rs
their Irish titles and sit by virtue Of
the British titles, but the Irish peers
are entitled to elect certain number
o. their fellows to represent them in
the upper house.
Lord Ashtown has long been trying
to get into the house Of lords, but he
has been defeated at every vacancy.
This time the vacancy was caused by
the death of Lord Rose who in ad-
dition to being popular nobleman,
was great scientist. Lord Ashtown
was opposed by Lord Farnham, and
they received an equal number of the
votes. The proceedings which follow
ed were distinctly medieval. The clerk
of the crown and hanaper for ireland
an official whose precise duties no one
seems to know, went to London and
when the house Of lords was assem-
bled appeared at the bar and Informed
the lord chancellor that tie had TAX
en- place. The clerk of parliament then
placed two slips of paper in o glass
and drew out one which contained
Lord Ashtown's name. Lord Ash
town was then declared duly elected.
Lord Ashtown who thus, by the
chance Of the lottery, becomes a rep
resentative Of Ireland is, Of course,
one Of the bitterest enemies Ireland
ever had. His hobby is collecting and
publishing what he calls "Outrages
From Ireland" in which every occur
renee which can be twisted into the ap-
peara.:ce of disorder is magnifled in
order 20 convince the English people
that the people of Ireland are not 1T
to govern thu mselves.

The Boston Republic is authority for
the statement that Rhode Island is the
first state in New England to elect a
Catholic for governor in the person ol
james Higgins. 1t says that in Mas
sachusetts. which is nearly half Cath
Ollie in population. a Catholic for gov
ernor was defeated at the late election,
largely because Of his religion. In
this connection, we may state that
North Dakota is the first state in this
Northwest to elect and re-elect .
Catholic for governor in the person OF
John Burke. In early days in Minne-
sofa, General James Shields, Catholic
was sent to the United States senate;
and in 1892, Daniel w. LAWYER. now
mayor of st. Paul, was nominated 70:
governor by the Democrats against
Knute Nelson, and was defeated by
less than $4,000 votes. He ran ahead of
Cleveland for president, and might
have been elected If Ignatius Donnel!y
had not been candidate for governor
on the Peoples ticket and obtained
nearly 10000 votes. The pure, invig-

TARIFF REVISION.


platform "unequivocally" pledged itself
to revise the tariff at special session
Of Congress to be called after the cleo.
ton. The standard bearer of the
party. William H.rTaft, appears to BE-
determined that the pledge shall be
kept and that q genuine revision shall
be made. At least, we infer as much
from a report of his utterances on the
question at his bungalow in Virginia,
where he is recuperating from the eff
fects of the campaign. According t,
the report, Mr.. Taft will stand no nom
sense from Speaker Cannon and his
rcactionary confederates. but will in
sist that a genuine revision of the
tariff schedules be made in the interest
Of all-manufacturers and consumers
alike.
We trust he will succeed in check
mating Cannon and his followers, and
give the people a redress Of wrongs
suffered for many years at the hands
of a purse-proud plutocracy who have
filched money from the pockets of
American citizens through system OF
legalized robbery.
That the tariff problem is one diff
ficult Of solution anybody familiar
with the subject will not deny. A

and cannot tell. If asked, what the duty
should be on certain articles of manu-
facture In order to afford sufficient
protection against the foreign made
articles and at the same time enable
the American manufacturer to pay
good wages to his employees and sell
his goods at reasonable price to his
own countrymen. OF one thing We are
certain: that no trust which destroys
competition aud has monopoly is en-
titled to the henent Of any tariff, high
or low {
At the preliminary hearing before
the special committee appointed before
the adjournment of Congress, the benc-
ficiaries of the tariff have appeared an l
declared they want no reduction Of the
present schedules. The lumber barons
of Minnesota. Wisconsin and Michigan
as well as those of washington and
Oregon want no change in the tariff
on lumber. Some Of these mon have
become millionaires within twenty
years. and several Of them were in

~ YER ridge and swamp and
along the reaches of the Bar
raclaw the buds were swelling
on the topmost branches of
oak and cypress, and the lush grasses
that stand up straight and tall in the
dark red pools later on in the year be-
gan to send their first green shoots to
herald the spring. There was u trou-
blesome rumor going the rounds, omi
nous and dread. Men said that the
new levee was treacherous, that it
might hold but all knew that mighty
north, jealous of its ancient preroga-
tives over the valley. Would the mar
row line of earth hold out against it?
Jake Alders heard the news when he
was doing his trading down at Wash
Evans store. On the way home he
fell In with little groups of men who
logged along discussing the probability
of an overflow, not that it was new
thing on the Barraclaw, for many
times and often had the Father of
Waters swept his royal way across the
land, but their little holdings had been
heavily taxed to build the levee that
was to protect them, and now, thanks
to the gods of red tape, Father Mes
sasable had challenged it anG the levee
was not.
Jake rode along slowly. He was
turning a problem over in his mind.
Amanda, his wife, had been one of the
annual victims to the dread swamp
fever, dying in the early winter. She
had made him promise to have her flu
neral preached in the spring when the
woods is a-gittin green an things is q
little mite more cheerful" Jake had
just made arrangements for the fu-
neral and that day had received a
message from the parson to the effect
that he would be on hand the follow
Ing Sunday. and now, If the water
came, there was no telling when the
funeral could be preached.
Jake swung along the yellow ribbon
of road, around the big bend and
across the long bridge over the bayou
thinking deeply. The first bluebird OF
the year fluttered ahead of him into u
nearby cotton field. Over his head d
robin wheeled. chattering to his mate
Against the dark gray green of the
winter woods the red bud blazed its
crimson banners and the nipping win,
ruffed the brown breast of the river tt
scales of golden armor. He gathered
himself together, gave the mule q
sharp cut and began to whistle--ht

Miss Josie Derr whisked the broom
sharply over the steps, shook out he
starched purple calico skirt and settle,
herself on the gallery to enjoy thu
morning sunshine. There was som,
little appearance of thrift around thu
comfortable little log cabin of tw,
rooms and the lean-to kitchen at til,
back, its well fenced yard and clap
